My Betta Tank Setup Part III

[hammyreptifish]

My name is Logan I like beas

[kellyjackson10]

I was curious what it looks like when logan hunts a fish. Could you show some footage of that?

[brooklynlulu]

Pretty, love the tank set up.

[kalemmy]

Logan<3

[PeterJaeDawe]

I am envious of your black and white Rosetail, he is beautiful!

Awesome tank! Looks so pristine. Your little friends look so happy

[gingerfishman98]

where did you get the betta condo ?

[zombie669mofo]

I personally dont like the idea of the cells or "betta condo". Do you let the out into the yard and fight? not a good idea either. love the tank though super clean setup.

[bro1029384756]

how do you import them from other countries?

[xiDorkiez]

Logan is a She....

[kissmyass1134]

Beautiful tank!

[TheRafield]

What a nice tank you have! I have a 5 gal with a betta :)

[Pop12646Okami]

Wait, LOGAN'S A GIRL???

[Pop12646Okami]

Would you suggest crush coral or regular sand for a freshwater aquarium?

[fishkeeperforlife]

i watch this video all the time, this tank is amazing! :)

[dark1hellwolf]

Bettamaster I need help find grojus fish like yours can you plz help me

[dark1hellwolf]

Bettamaster I need help finding grojus fish like yours can u help me

[Bettawonder]

[slapperjack007]

where did you get Logan

[asims2addict4life]

oh logan cracks me up

[horselove122]

Logans a girl? Omg. Lol

[snickerzeefull]

i dont like vegetables

[kman092039]

give logan vegetables.

Logan loves vegetables.

[Rbrocketsballer30]

Bettamaster,

how often do u rotate the bettas because i may be looking into a setup like this

[xXEvan10800Xx]

What is your pH at?

[toshayking]

do you use any filter? if so what kind

[ALBINOmoms]

how did u import a pair of pineapple halfmoon dragon plakats

[kayla0622]

Logan is very active.

[JessieLynn5577]

Hello. I was just wondering where the other ones from the 2nd one were?

[PrimetimePokemon]

I was wondering if flaring is bad for betta fish. Whenever I turn the light on for my tank my betta flares at its reflection, is this a bad thing?

[mrpanget2damax]

i really think the condos are not very ideal if you plan to keep your bettas in it until they die... it's sort of a cruelty because it's way too small... i think you better get a less powerful air pump or maybe why not just settle with a plain filter -_- hope you'd get other tanks for the other bettas... because it would be so sad if you're bettas die especially in my case... i've been dreaming of plakats, and crowntails... -_- all we've got here in my place r red and blue veil bettas....

[megaMoviemaker99]

Is Logan a boy or a girl?

[foreverspongebob84]

You should get an african dwarf frog! PS I love watching your videos and I catch crawfish and of course its release and by a net and where did you get the dividers?

[mrpanget2damax]

@foreverspongebob84 no more room for dwarf frogs... the tank is already way too overstocked..

[EPIKPRYDE808]

plakat is pronounced PLAY-CAUGHT

[Ismaelcruz1]

Hey I have a question. How do you take your bettas out of the condo to rotate them? Do you have a net that can fit into the individual condos? I have a problem taking out my bettas sometimes and they tend to freak out and hurt themselves from being scared

[mrpanget2damax]

@Ismaelcruz1 rotating / cycling the bettas in the tank is not a very good idea as it would just tend to stress them.. why not throw that fish condo and go for another tank at least 3 gallons

[sayurasem]

betta master, how to keep your water so clean and crystal?? what substance you use? and what kind of sand is that???

i have the same betta condo too! to bad is only 4 slots... im looking for full 20inch betta condo that fills the whole length of my 10gal. currently i put females sorority outside condo and 4 different kind of males (crowntail, halfmoon, double tail, and veil)

please reply master

[TheBettaMaster]

@sayurasem Aqua Terra Natural White Sand.

[Lurk1ngLurk3r]

@TheBettaMaster Hey where do you import your bettas from im looking for a Half Moon

[marrader21]

Hey there, I love your betta set up and I want to make a similar one for myself... I went and found a craw fish and everytihng. I was wondering where you got that betta condo from? Ive been looking everywhere and cant seem to find one.

[mrpanget2damax]

@marrader21 please never get a betta condo... it's so much better to have one betta in a tank... it's so sad to see bettas in such a cramped space. -_- please never get a betta condo i'm begging you! and please never settle for air pumps... a heater, filter, and thermometer should be enough... thanks in advance if you do this... if you don't, please say sorry for me to your betta (i tried my best to convince you)

[zelda1bmw]

hi man how can i find some nice females colors cause i have a really nice red orgen color male that i want to find some nice females for

[AmericanEagles100]

What is happening to the other bettas did they die?!?!?!

[LivieLu100]

I hate the idea of a betta condo. thats such a small space to keep them in. would you enjoy living in a little 3 by 3 clear box? and they are probabaly really stressed to be able to see each other

[themousemaster]

wow u really are the betta master i'm getting a new tank set up soon and my very first betta pairs, do you have any tips on someone new to breeding? i'm just woried i wont feed the babies the right food or the male might kill the female. =(

[ToRreNtb0t]

What filter is that?

[ItsDaAznNueton]

Are the string beans fresh?

[Phamstaa]

what temperature do you keep ur tank? in degrees please, thx betta master

[TheBettaMaster]

I'm not sure what you mean, but I keep my tank at 75 to 80 degrees fahrenheit OR 24 to 27 degrees celsius.

[Lurk1ngLurk3r]

@TheBettaMaster what do you have to do when getting bettas i have a 35 gallon tank w/ 3 tetra red tail shark gold algae eater dalmation molly and 3 Gouramis should i just put the betta w/ them or should i get i 5 gallon bowl or thing you can put on the wall and do you need a filter and heater also what do they eat really im new to fish i have no clue when it comes to betta please help they are neat fish and i want one

[9912699125]

@TheBettaMaster nice dragon u have in there,check out mine,urs scalling is better than mine,but my color differ from urs,urs is at the darker side and is very nice in my opinion

[heyhihellolater]

1:37 the fish love each other

[leybibaby98]

Yhur FiSH Are SoO Pretty !

[xKaiMonster]

OO: Omg<33

I love this. xD <3

but doesnt logan try to get that betta thats roaming around? o.o

[m0j0101]

are you using white play sand as the substrate or is it a crush quartz?

[FuzzieBuddies]

wow you have a great tank!

[FuzzieBuddies]

so how do you switch them out??? do you use a net? i feel like thats moving the fish too much...... do you give them each a day in the tank at a time?

[hhazawat]

Whilst feeding logan did you drop summing cuz it sounded like it XD

[Mushman15]

I love Logan!

[extremedarksoul2x]

i put my betta with my goldfish but my gold fish died

[extremedarksoul2x]

did any die

[FuzzieBuddies]

WOW THIS IS AMAZING. im soo gonna do this once my fish in my 10 gallon die. this is great now i dont need to have little tanks everywhere and my fish get more room and i can have more bettas and save more lives!!!!!!!!

[Adam141516]

is it cold or warm water tank



[shilohmustang]

She was stalking the green bean!

Awesome tank set up!

[TheBettaApprentice]

How do you reccomend to keep your water temperature? The room temp. here is about 75-76 degrees and it may just be that the water feels cold but accualy is 75-76. I dont see a heater in your tank so im just wondering...

[TheBettaMaster]

I use the marineland stealth heater. It blends into the black background well and is hard to see. I keep the temperature in the mid 70s to low 80s in my betta tanks.

[Lurk1ngLurk3r]

@TheBettaMaster Do the condos have lids or are they not in the water all the way also where can you get the betta condos

Thanks

Lurk1ngLurk3r

[MrBettafishy]

@TheBettaApprentice ya about 72-80 but the best temp for them would be about 76 77

[squirrelboi01]

@TheBettaApprentice LOL nice name, I get it

TheBettaMaster and TheBettaApprentice

[SnowP1997]

i looked and ther were no green ones ): ,

is it alright if i have see through ones , like will they die from flaring ALL DAY ):

[SnowP1997]

I was going to do this but i heard they will flare all day and eventually die o: ?

please helpp?

[TheBettaMaster]

There are green dividers; they only see each other when you remove the dividers.

[skecthy1234]

@TheBettaMaster

were did you get it?

[MattndewBlog]

lol tlogan was nom nom nom and said THankS lol btw nice bettas were do u get them from i like ur videos

[mypetfishy]

hey guys i ust made some new vids onmy betta! come check them out and dont forget to subscribe to my channel! =P

[yytboii]

You must hace a lot of betta

[08DSW]

@ TheBettaMaster..i saw a previous comment...There are many species of crayfish, and some may be more aggressive than others. It's almost always risky to keep fish and crayfish together, but there are ways you can minimize the danger......I was wandering....How do i try to make it a more peaceful community in my tank...id like to have fish in my tank but my crayfish likes to attack anything that moves....and i dont really want a divider in my tank.

[TheBettaMaster]

Sorry for the late reply, I rarely check my comments. Feel free to send me a private message and I'll try to answer your questions as best as I can. My bettas are typically imported from Thailand, but I sometimes purchase them at my local fish store.

[Litameena4chan]

I didn't know crawfish could live in warm water. Does it pinch your betta any? (the one that's roaming around that is)

because if it's pretty docile I may try that if I get a 10 gallon.

[TheBettaMaster]

There are many species of crayfish, and some may be more aggressive than others. It's almost always risky to keep fish and crayfish together, but there are ways you can minimize the danger.

[Litameena4chan]

@TheBettaMaster How could I do that? because I think if I got one I'd have just the one betta in with it. =]

[Peaches70380]

Logan was stalking her string bean. She felt the need to hunt.

What else do you feed Logan? I was thinking of getting a 3-5 gallon tank and getting 1 betta and maybe a crawfish. Would that be safe for both?

[TheBettaMaster]

It's probably not a good idea to keep both a free roaming betta and a crayfish together. This setup you see here is still risky, but a smaller 3-5 gallon tank would be even riskier.

[bombshell527]

sweet tank, i have a tank like that but bigger but my fish r nowhere as good as yours. Now im thinking about buying a crayfish

[will0nater]

what broke at 0:41

[TheBettaMaster]

nothing broke... there was a piece of plastic holding the light hood up that fell.

[barrelracer10000]

Logan is funny and cute haha =)

[jaffarfan123]

lol it walked past it then backed up and got it

[niekomeeko]

very pretty tank!

[DevillSin21]

what type of crayfish is logan ?

[mikeanator52]

hey just one more question. do you use a heater in the tank and where did you find a crawfish?

[TheBettaMaster]

Yes, it's hard to see my heater because of the black background. I purchased the crawfish at a pet store.

[brianvelasquez]

Sweet bettas dude!!! Those Drag's are awesome! How much did you buy em' for and what website?

[TheFishDude2613]

hey TBM. i was also wonderinfg where u got your sand from? thanks again. bye

[spiltbeerbottles]

ok thanks, my temp in the tank is about 80 to 83F about, but i didn't try the almond leaf extract, thanks! o and can u please sub to me :) thanks

[spiltbeerbottles]

k i really need help, i have 2 females, and 1 male, one of my younger females is in the 2.65 gallon, and i put in a divider in the 10 gallon, one for male and female on each side, the male flares and does a "dance" but why won't my male make the bubble nest? i read tons of articles, and i've checked that the female has several virtical stripes, and shes large enough, and she has a roundish belly, but the male is old enough also, i did the 2 week conditioning but he won't make thebubblenest!help

[TheBettaMaster]

Be patient. It may help if you add almond leaf extract to the water, and may also help if you bring the temperature to around 80 degrees.

[spiltbeerbottles]

k thanks, i gave you a tip with the footage of logan and one arm sam.

[spiltbeerbottles]

o and i should add, UsedUpDope247 is my brothers account (its still me tho) and i have one more thing, when you first place the filter, how long does it take till the filter does its job (until its starts clearing up the water) cuz the water started of a bit murky cuz of my betta's, will it just take a day? cuz i'm thinking its not working anymore

[TheBettaMaster]

It starts working right away, but not in the way you may think. The activated carbon in the filter binds to harmful substances in the water that you can't see, and the sponge portion of the filter removes larger particles. It also grows beneficial bacteria that keep the ammonia levels low in the water. Your water could take a few days to look clear, but the filter is working right now.

[UsedUpDope247]

thanks a lot TheBettaMaster, i just got my filter that seems to be working just fine, and i just got my thermonator, and my heater, it all works fine! i really like the discus, so i'm going to change plans:

i think ill just stick to having my 2 bettas, and get rid of the tiger barbs, and 4 tetras instead of 6, is it stil crowded? -i'm going to make a vid of my tank soon, and hopefully put it on youtube, and plz comment!

[spiltbeerbottles]

o and i should add, my tank is 24"L, 12"H, and 10"W (10.23 gallons so 10 about)

[TheBettaMaster]

That tank would be too crowded for the discus, but everything else should be fine. I actually made a mistake in my video, It's not an Otto Cat... It's called a Flying Fox. Most of the fish you have listed will eat the same thing.

[spiltbeerbottles]

thanks, lol i'm sounding like a newbie, but i really like my fish, but i don't wan't it messed up. here is what i think i might have in my tank (i already have 2 betta's in my 10 gallon tank)

k:1 discus

2 angelfish

3 betta's (female ofcoarse cuz i guess i don't wan't them to breed)

1 auto cat (lol u got me interested in them)

3 tiger barbs,

and 6 tetras,

will it be too crowded, and how much work will i need to put into it, and what kind of food do they eat, or share the same food,

[spiltbeerbottles]

logan is the crawfish? right

[spiltbeerbottles]

o and one more thing, can i get the sand you have at petsmart?

[TheBettaMaster]

I'm not sure, but I use Aqua Terra brand natural white sand. You can find it online if you want.

[spiltbeerbottles]

holy shit, in one of your vids, you said one of these guys will be lucky to be with the girl one, so ur ready for 200+ ? anyways, is there ways for making it less, cuz i wan't more, but i don't want schools of fish, and not to mention half will be boys and i'll have to seperate em all, any tips?

[TheBettaMaster]

Even though there are a lot of fish fry, it's rare to have more then 10% survive. Only the strongest of the fish make it to adulthood. You don't have to separate fry for a long, long time. They get along well when they are young. Also, it's impossible to distinguish between males and females till later in life.

[spiltbeerbottles]

logan is hilarious, pounds on it lol as if it was alive, and i have a question, when you breed betta's, how much can they produce

[TheBettaMaster]

From 200 to 500 fry.

[MacMike1000]

Hahahaha, Love Logan man.

[Tuscuttar]

I love your Betta tank, is your 'Betta Condo' breeding isolators or an actual thing designed for the keeping of more than one Betta?

[TheBettaMaster]

It's designed to keep more than one betta. It's a commercially available product made by penn-plax to simulate betta barracks.

[motorXchik]

Both of your dragons have beautiful sharp caudals, though I hope your fry take after the mother with the anal fin! :) Have you bred this lovely pair yet?

[TheBettaMaster]

I tried to, but this pair of bettas would not breed no matter what I tried. It just wasn't meant to be.

[TheBettaMaster]

I had the bettas for awhile before I started posting videos. I converted the betta tank, to a temporary home for my discus. As soon as my larger tank is ready, I'll move the discus in there... and the smaller tanks in these videos will likely be homes for bettas again.

[TheBettaMaster]

These are older videos. You can check the date on the right hand side.

[oscarfishguy15]

nice video man and how much betta

s do you have?

[TheBettaMaster]

Thanks. I don't currently have any bettas, but that will change in the future.  I am currently focusing on aquascaping planted tanks and discus fish, but when I'm done... I'm sure I'll return to betta breeding for competition in the IBC.

[oscarfishguy15]

so what abouth the crawfish you get rid of him?

[TheBettaMaster]

Check out my newer videos, they are entirely dedicated to my crawfish.  I still have them and they are doing well.

[TheFishDude2613]

i like logan shes pretty big

[crayfishdude1]

what type of crayfish is logan =D cause im getting a marbled crayfish from aquabid on thursday =D caint wait till it comes im gonna put it in my 29 gal tank =D

[TheBettaMaster]

I'm not sure... but good luck with your tank. Let me know if you post a video.

[FJqattan]

cant wait to get a crayfish. id get one right now if my oscars wouldnt kill and eat him.

[FJqattan]

very nice :)

[Ingiequeen]

DAMN nice Pk's! Im getting in 2 pairs on friday, a pacific dragon hm pk pair a and a black orchid hm pk pair.

[f00tballkid84]

hey wut fish does she catch

[TheBettaMaster]

It will go after pretty much anything. It has already caught and eaten a few neons, two corydoras, and a loach. Anything that is smaller and doesn't swim too fast is pretty much a goner in this tank.

[Rohan4basu]

how do u clean the tank? standard gravel vaxc?

[TheBettaMaster]

I use to use a gravel vac, but now I just use a narrow rubber tube (allows for more maneuverability). When using sand, most of the debris will accumulate on top (unlike gravel where debris seeps thru into the cracks & spaces). You'll find that sand is cleaner than gravel in this regard, because the filth doesn't get trapped the way it does with gravel and allows for easy cleaning. Also, since less filth/debris is trapped, your water filter will be able to keep the water cleaner.

[Rohan4basu]

thank you the information was very helpful. btw where did u buy thoses dragon fish from and does the cray fish bother them?

[TheBettaMaster]

The Halfmoon Dragon Plakats were imported from Thailand through a specialty betta breeder. I will email you the information. The crayfish tries very hard to catch them, but my bettas are well conditioned and strong. If you watch my latest video 'More Footage of Halfmoon Dragon Plakats' you can see the crayfish try to catch the plakat at the very end. That was the closest it ever came to catching a betta. Other fishes I've had in this tank were not so lucky.
