Fluval Chi Aquarium Platinum White Male Betta-Zen

[Cupidthefish]

Hi! I love the music but I think you should get some rocks at the bottom of your tank!

@Cupidthefish Stones were added later. Then a fine sprinkling of moon sand was later used. The fish has been gone for awhile now.=( It depressed me without him, so I sold the tank before Christmas. I just have the 90 w/ fancy goldfish. If you check my other videos, you can see it. Thanks for the comment. Zen was a wonderful fish. He is greatly missed.

Looks nice! What's the large plant called?

[xkluziveOne]

so simple, and so beautiful. A lot of times as I usually say, Less is Best.

I just ordered the 6.6 gallon Chi. Have you had any problems with your Betta Jumping out or getting stuck in the filter? Do you run your filter 24hrs. I LOVE your CHI it's beautiful.

[shebaheartly]

@coolgeorgiaboy Hello, no, neither problem. The filter is very weak. A strong normal fish will never get stuck to an intake. Filter always runs, yes. You either want to run it, or don't. If you run it, shut it off, you will kill the good bacteria, then when you run it again you could kill your fish.Thank you.

@coolgeorgiaboy i run my filter 24 hours fish jumping out no but his water is to low in picture also if you put water to high it drips down the cord so make sure you have nothing important around i thought my rank was leaking put gravel in tank to catch dirt and feed fish little by litttle so u keep water clean i had my chi for 1 year and never had to clean it p.s you have to fill tank every 3 days or else you will burn out your filter if water gets to low

Not cleaning a tank for a year is foolish, and cruel.

Really nice, I have the same tank too, what the artist of the acoustic guitar? I'll to your channel if u subs back.

Thanks,

MacMike1000

@MacMike1000 Hello, I am not sure of the artist. It is one from here. You go through a list, none are any I have heard of. Your channel is about selling computer parts? DH might be interested. As you can see, my thing is my tanks & birds.=) Cheers

He did great overnight and is much calmer in there this am. Seems very happy, actually. Thank you for responding. I think going from a stagnate bowl to any water flow threw him at first last night. I'm loving the tank!

[lisajerryhowell]

I've read that Bettas prefer calm water and to rest on leaves and hide in foliage. I have aquarium silk plants and a leaf that attaches to a wall on a suction cup for him to rest upon but am sensing that he may only be able to if the light/filter are off.

[shebaheartly]

@lisajerryhowell .This tank is perfect for bettas, as it has little to no flow or surface movement. Zen is not drawn towards the intake at all, watch the video again. A healthy fish would never be pulled against the intake of this tank. He should be using his fins to swim. Bettas who just sit at the bottom of a cup or bowl, doing nothing, make me sad.

[lisajerryhowell]

I just bought/set up this same tank for my Betta and am concerned about the flow of the filter, specifically that it "draws" the Betta near the intake hole and causes him to have to constantly use his fins to swim the tank (as does yours seem to as well). cont'd below, please...

I have gravel in mine and the food just sits on top of it. And does your betta make the water cloudy or create this slimy stuff on top of the water?

[shebaheartly]

@MrMomoitin No, it stays clear. A slick on the surface would be from proteins. I change water often, siphon out all debris, and use a cup to skim the surface.

[MrMomoitin]

@shebaheartly ok ill try that

[musicismagic97]

gravel would look good

[shebaheartly]

@musicismagic97 Thanks for your input. Gravel would collect the leftover food and waste. This is a statement in simple beauty, and ease of care,and a healthy environment for my Betta.
