Absolutely! I’m a fan of a lot of your products. I’m always open for collaboration 👀

I’ve been bingeing a lot of betta vids since I decided to get a betta…yours is the only one I didn’t increase the playback speed or skip through. I love your editing, music and transitions. Kinda sad the algorithm didn’t show me your channel until now. I’ve subscribed and I look forward to supporting you!

yup! i love Fluval's all in one setup, especially the bulkhead/outflow portion of this tank.

They sell that filter floss polish pad thing at local pet stores that carry the same tank. I replaced mine with an aqua clear size 20 sponge square thing, fits perfectly and filters well.

Just saw a beautiful betta as I was looking for saltwater tanks( nano and big). Reviewing this so I can go get that betta and this is truly THE BEST OPTION out there. Right everything and heater?!? Thank you for review.

this is a good kit. If I kept bettas and had enough space for one I would utilize this kit. As for heater, I use the same heater in my aquascape aquarium and it works fine. I'm a fan of the fluval spec aquariums which is kind of what this tank is based off of, and when I kept Pico reefs back in the day I used to use fluval spec tanks and I never had an issue with them. Then again, you can also keep a betta in a simple 10 gallon tank, sponge filter, and a generic brand heater and it can live a happy life. It's up to you to determine what's the "best option" for you.

The replacement sponge for. The chamber. I’ve only found few stores in us or Amazon stocks it. I’m from australia though. Very little companies have it here. I have the beta kit too, got it recently. But I just bought aqua one big filter piece and just cut to size

I could see using that for some shrimp. Was that Java or Christmas Moss, and how is it growing now 2 months later?

Doing great! I saw a video of it last night and the plants have grown in a bit more. That moss isn’t Java, it came with a bunch of plants at the store but it’s called freshwater seaweed or subwassertang I think

thanks for a really good informational video on this tank, Im probably going to give it a try in the very near future, as I havent had a betta in a long time, and miss them,

glad the video helped! just remember for these compact setups they require a little more maintenance than larger setups, like say for example a 10 gallon or so.

Thanks for the wonderful review. Im undecided if I should buy this or the Biorb Life 15 Aquarium with LED Light - 4 Gallon. Any thoughts in comparison? Much opinion appreciated. Cheers!

I’d say Fluval. I don’t have much experience with the biorb, but the way this Fluval tank is set up, it’s good for bettas IMO

Any tips on the hole in the middle of the top? I’m nervous about my betta jumping out.

at some craft stores there's "sewing canvas' that's clear, its like a really fine mesh people use for sewing fabric. it can be cut to size and placed in the middle. that's what I would use

its plastic and comes in a lot of colors. but clear should be best

Can this tank be used for planted RCS?

It could, but shrimp could get stuck in the filter if they’re too young. My friend has cherry red shrimps in his setup now with the betta

My heater had a red light on it i filled uo the water not it does not did i brake it

Yeah you will probably see it very little. Bgk arent the best tankmates for bichirs though. The white stripes on the tail will be a target. Bichirs will think the tail its a pray. So be careful.

A bit small .. wish Fluval led the way and did a 5g, or even a 7g I’ve had 3 inch + betta, that’s far too small

I personally like this size tank for Bettas because it's easier for them to find food; especially if the tank doesn't have bottom feeders or a clean up crew. I used to breed Bettas and would find that single bettas in 5 gallons or 10 gallons would have a difficult time trying to find food and most of the time it just rots on the bottom of the aquarium. But this is also coming from a person that used to breed bettas in cups and small tubs lol... My old bettas would have loved this setup.

Do update

I moved pretty far from my friends home but the tank is still up and running. Betta got a bit bigger and the plants are pretty grown now.

It's far too small for a betta. Pick up a 5 gallon from any pet store for around 10 to 15 dollars. Your betta will thank you. I think I spent around $85 setting up my 10 gallon including the price of the betta, tank, filter, heater, soil, and live plants. It's crazy to spend this kind of money on a tank that isn't even big enough for the fish. I wouldn't keep my mystery snails in this.
