  • The second tank looked so amazing :)

  • happy better

  • dang video LOAD!!!

  • Would be better if they were in 5 gallon tanks with heaters and filters. The "Plain" design isn't to my taste either but that's not my place to say. I can however say that you're keeping those fish improperly.

  • Fuck france

  • Those aquariums need plants for the betta fish 2 rest on!

  • (spit)

  • did you have cycle that?

  • boring and not good for the betta

  • i like the second one best :)

  • how maany gallons are those tanks??

  • black rock is the best

  • Wow you just color coded them!!! Each tank matches the betta!!!

  • why doesnt anybody fill it to the top it isnt that hard

  • @TheJonTurner1

    Betta fish are renowned for their jumping abilities. Water to the top = risk of flying bettas.

  • dude cool tanks but they would be alot better if u had a few more nataral stuff in there like a few plants because saimese fighting fish love plants!

  • That music makes me want to kill myself.

  • WELL BETTAS LOOK HAPPY. LOOK LIKE U CARE. I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE CARE ABOUT POOR BETTA. I WANT THEM TO HAVE HOME INSTEAD OF CUP IN THE STORES.

  • Great designs! I really like them!!

    I just moved house & I need fish to make my room look better so I'll show you my tanks when I'm done :)

  • Have you got filters in your tanks? Or do large daily water changes?

  • People say to make a bettas tank look natural because they like it better... HELLO they have lived there lives in a plastic cups they don't care!!!

  • You should add a little bit of water in the Patriotic theme Aquarium, not saying it is dangerously low just a suggestion.

  • those bettas want out........make aquariums best to there natural habitat. thats far off

  • You're missing an American flag for the background on the first one. Plus we wouldn't see all that clutter xD

  •  i like the last two

  • Great aquariums :) How often do you clean them?

  • i'm so glad you give these guys enough space to swim around, what youve got there really should be the minimum, i cant believe people keep them in such small bowls!

  • no heater? no filter? why?

  • I think this is stuiped.

  • you should get heating and filtration for each of those

  • @nexzabuza betta fish do not like fast moving water

  • @kingjamescrab

    Oh yes I am sure they prefer ammonia poisoning (sarcasm). They are filters which cause very little current like sponge filters. So far those 'tanks' are only slightly better than a common bowl.

  • @NexDemise i didnt ask you..... subscibe for subscribe?

  • @kingjamescrab

    nexzabuza is my old currently unused account, and no thx

  • bettacare101. com

  • i might use that black gravel idea for my next betta.

  • dont. it doesnt work out.... well it doesnt loook good

  • You can get these cool little mini filters ar walmart if you want, they are cheap yet affective.

  • can they live in a 5 gallon with the water filled like half or 75% of the way?

  • they can live in a cup but whats the point of having one then

  • well i know that, but i read something that the weight of the water can be bad for them. idk...

  • @2facedninja i hav 6 bettas in a 5.5 gallon tank. its filled half way. its better that way since they need 2 keep going up 4 air. im getting a 10 gallon tank so theres more room 4 them. tho more room means more water

  • @lordzero545 oh, ok that's good, i just wanted to see if anyone else though it was ok. thanks!

  • I found a rock in the ocean can I put it in my 5 gallon freshwater fish tank with a betta and some ghost shrimp?

  • clean it well

  • @nosyiam Boil it that will get rid of germs, organisms etc.

  • Comment removed

  • Sorry - I know about bettas, not ghost shrimp. The aquarium person at your local petstore should know.

  • @CDeanWatcher I asked them......They did not know either. Could a betta live in a 5 gallon tank if so what should the temp be? Thanks

    ps the peope at the store are not that smart:-)

  • I like the second one the best!

  • i love the second one alot.

  • the third one is the best in my opinion

  • i like the second best........

  • the third betta is gorgeous :)

  • whoah cool stuff. nice thinking. atleast u use a tank instead of a bowl

  • how do you keep the red white and blue seperated??

  • yes, everyone who owns them r suposed to keep them seperated or they fite to the death, they r VERRY terriyorial!

  • There is a pane of glass that slides in in special grooves. The tanks are made especially so you can do this.

  • oh! thats cool, did u buy it or did u make it, and how much more is it than an average tank?

  • @flyleafrules93 I bought the tank from Pedsmart, I had to order the panes from their website as they did not carry them in the store.

  • ohhhhh i c, yeah so u put them in after the fact

  • i like the second one

  • you know lava lamps? i wana make a small tank that looks like lava lamp with like LEDs under the bottle :D

  • I don't think that is a good idea. It might confuse the fish and lava lamps have the tine top so how will the fish get oxygen in the water?

  • yea i never finished i guess, i was guna drill some holes in the back of the cap and carefully cut down the bottle more and it should be enough

  • I love the beta in 1:35

  • Ulgh, I'm sorry but I'm super in to making aquariums a natural environment. The fish do so much better. Live plants ftw!

  • agreed.

  • i dont think that captive bred fish really care if their home looks like their natural habitat or not. ive kept fish in a tank i decorated with bricks and trash to give it a poluted look and they seemed just as happy as thye are today in a more natural looking tank

  • ha its probably how you live, in the trash!

  • @antdaweeze13 well now thats not a very nice thing to say to someone that I'm sure you don't know.

  • Those look cool - but you need more plants. They need more hidey holes -- and more stuff to swim around and play in. you can combine them ;)

  • best for the fish is TO do a GRADUAL water change weekly at most 20 %. adding live plants live the java moss will help to keep nitrate in check. best is to go high tech with filters to keep even any type of fish happy

  • you need to put some plants in the tanks

  • Get a filter or pump for your tanks

  • red white and blue

  • creepy music...

  • UGLy

    bLLE

  • Where are the filters?

  • they don't always need them

  • Umm, yeah they do. All fish need filters. Only, bettas need gentle ones. Well, I guess you COULD get away without a filter for a betta, but he would have to do water changes a lot.

  • my betas have lived 3 years without one and my old high school has a red one thats going on 5 years and they don't used one its a east of money for thows fish but w/e u do what u want to yours and I will with mine u have your opinion and I have mine too

  • Um, it's actually a fact, but whatevs.

    Bettas just do much better w/ filters, that way you don't have to do water changes daily. 3 years is not very much for a betta. They can easily reach 5-7 with a filter.

  • Incorrect. The average lifespan of a betta is 2-3 years, with or without a filter. The only thing a filter does is make it so you have to do complete water changes less often. Since water changes can be stressful for the fish, it's better for them to be in a larger tank or to have a filter. But a betta in a 5 gallon tank will probably only need a complete change once a week or once every two weeks, which shouldn't stress him out too much .

  • No. Where did you get your "facts" from? You should never do a complete water change, because that removes too much beneficial bacteria, which will kill any fish. Do some research, and stop trying to tell me something that's not true.

  • Wrong. Not doing a complete water change in an uncycled (ie unfiltered) tank, like these, will very quickly kill your fish due to poor water quality. We are talking about UNCYCLED tanks here, ones withOUT filters. These tanks NEED complete water changes regularly. Furthermore, these beneficial bacteria live on things like the tank wall, the gravel, and most importantly the filter media. They will survive a complete water change if one is necessary, trust me.

  • Yes, I knew that. I thought we were talking about a filtered tank. But you would have to do a water change daily w/o a filter, because of ammonia build up. (Unless of course you used water from a cycled tank, then you could probably go for a day longer...)

  • Again, it depends on a lot of things (the size of the tank, how many fish in it, live plants yes/no, etc). For a one-gallon tank with only one betta in it and no live plants, you can do just fine changing the water twice a week. Of course, in an ideal world, you'd have a testing kit (stick or liquid) and be testing the ammonia daily so you KNOW when it's too high and needs to be changed. Then you change it the day before it gets too high.

  • And that was in an unfiltered tank, one gallon, changing twice a week. As long as the tank is big enough, daily water changes are not necessary. And you really shouldn't be keeping a betta in a tank smaller than one gallon anyway.

  • Why are you telling me this? I feel like I'm researching basic fish keeping all over again. There was just a misunderstanding there. I know how to properly care for fish. Thanks for any advice you were trying to give me.

  • Because you were giving false information so I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page.

  • I was not giving false information! I was talking about a filtered tank, and that is not false information. It's simply not good to do a 100% water change.

  • You also said that bettas easily live 7 years with filters (untrue) and that 3 years isn't a long time for a betta (it is). 5 years is very impressive. 2-3 is average. You said doing a 100% water change will remove too much beneficial bacteria, when it lives mostly in the filter media, some in the gravel. You also said that you'd have to do daily water changes in an unfiltered tank, when a gallon tank can go a week safely without a change, with just one betta in it. That's a lot of false info.

  • It's still no good to do a 100% water change, and yes, I KNOW that most beneficial bacteria lives on the filter media, but you can't just remove all of the water from a tank, then put conditioned tap water inside and expect the tank not have a bacteria bloom. I've done it before, and it have tested the water, and there are is some ammonia and nitrite in the water due to a bacteria bloom. You should stick with 25% water changes a week.

  • And guess what, so have I, and the ammonia and nitrate readings were fine. I do 10% water changes weekly, but doing a 100% water change will absolutely NOT hurt a thing. My guess is there was something else in your tank that caused the bloom.

  • I researched the betta age thing, and it says depending on how you care for them, their life span is 2-5 years, with 6 or 7 not being completely uncommon. It's 2-3 years in a bowl. (That's why, folks, we are not supposed to keep bettas in unfiltered bowls and tanks.) and 3-5 in a properly filtered and cycled tank, with 25% weekly water changes. My betta's already a couple years old and still going strong. He's in a filtered, cycled 30 gallon aquarium.

  • Guess what, my last betta I kept in a...gasp, bowl ...and he lived well over three years with weekly water changes. This one I've just got lives happily in a 10gal, and if she lives more than 4 I'll be mightily impressed. Where did you do your research? All the betta owners and breeders I've spoken to say 3-4 years is absolute max in ideal care. 5 is supremely impressive, and in fact I don't even think I've ever heard 6. Bettas can do fine without filters in bowls, with proper care.

  • My friend's betta lived for 7 years. I also researched on google. You don't have to be a betta breeder to know these things.

    100% water changes are not good! There is always a chance of a bacteria bloom, and that's not good.

  • WOW that's amazing, considering the longest-lived betta in carefully controlled laboratory settings was six years. Good for your friend. Unfortunately, there's no other records of bettas living that long... and 100% water changes will not hurt a thing. There's always a chance of bacterial bloom when you change anything, 10% water change, changing the filter media, new plant/decor... that doesn't mean performing regular maintenance isn't harmless the vast majority of the time.

  • Okay, whatevs. This is stupid. We're both right in certain ways, were both wrong in certain ways. I hate arguing....

    Anyhow, we're just spamming now. I'm going be the peace maker, because no one else will .*cough* *cough*

    Anyhow, I believe my friend, and I don't give a crap if you don't believe me or her. She's not one to lie, especially about stuff she doesn't know much about.

  • Stephster575 is right, drop it. (like birthday cake)

  • I actually wasn't going to post again, of my own volition. Le gasp. Go fig. I don't want to drop the cake though, I like cake too much.

  • Off topic, but I checked out your channel. You seem to have both my sister's (Stephster575) and my hobby. WoW and fishkeeping. =P

  • would YOU at any given time, want to breathe in your own waste?

  • if it smelled good, then i guess yeah

  • I would love to see you breather in your own shit. Make a video with it!

  • they don't even need it. They are labyrith fishs. They have a labyrith organ wich allows them to breath air like we do.

  • I like the first two tanks.

  • 1st has a awesome gravel design

  • as i said tank 1, 2 and 3 are all shit

  • i like the first one.

  • tank 1, 2, and 3 are shit. The bettas dont look good either

  • they are just giving ideas and it isnt the bettas fault for looking "bad" all of them are beautiful. just saying. :]

  • those are ugly tanks dude natural's much better

  • cool disine

  • i like th paitriot one good job dude

  • i have the same plants and top fin ornament as in tank 2

  • Umm, personally i didn't like the tanks, but i really like the betta in the last tank :P

    Its colours were cool

  • I like the second one

  • almond leaves are a "TEA" like leafe found in asia, also known as Terminalia catappa. it conditions the water and makes the water turn into a tea color "yellowish brown." it has many kinds of essential vitamins so to say for the fishes fins, scales, and overall health. it also makes them overall more comfortable. it makes the water seem to be as if they were in the wild. they will be more comfortable therefore they will be more active and look healtier. you can buy some on ebay.

  • Good Recomendation!!!! i use them for all my betta community tanks and especially breeding tanks ;)

    And as you said mystasher, i have healthy bettas from it never been sick, also i'm a bit of a betta fanatic, breeding for a hobby but great recomendation

  • no problem man, i love this leafe, i know its wrong but i had my fishes live in their jars for over 3 months how without changing the water because i had the leafe in it. they are still perfect and the water is still clean! for some reason it seems that the longer the leafe is in the water, the better the water quality is...

  • wow, just be careful and look for those signs of illness, I'm sure u know what your doing so i don't have to tell ya that. I have a bunch of those Large Grade B leaves in every one of my tanks. 4 10gal and 1 20gal and the water is a clear amber! love the way it looks compared to the clear water.

  • it also works for other tropical fishes, i was breeding my angel fishes, and they never seemed to be interested. i dropped a leaf in the tank and about 3 hours later, bam bam bam...eggs everywhere on the pole.

  • Nice, yeah i breed bettas and love doing it, i actually have done plenty spawns without the leaves and started using them a lil while ago. But i have halfmoons from thailand, and even with the leaves all three males aren't intrested in bubble nesting at all

  • Put a female in a tank next to one of the bettas. Competiton will start them up ;)

  • yeah as i stated before, i have done that, being that i own over 20 bettas all different fin types. It seems the HM are more tough in breeding and bubblenesting naturally

  • what leaf are u talking about?

  • indian almond leafe. look it up on google look up indian almond leafe betta

  • best way to keep a betta is take everything out and put a indian almond leaf in there and some live java moss. thats all he needs to be happy..happier than all of those designs. cant you see the bettas fins are so sluggish and not spread out nicely? almond leave would fix that and the java moss will make your tank look natural. my two cents.

  • what are almond leafs for?and why?

  • said he doesn't go for the natural look, just through an almond leaf in there and keep them as is.

  • I love the second one

  • bettacare101.googlepages. com

  • 1:34 is the best design.

  • I disagree, seeing as the fish is black it doesent go well with the black gravel

  • good designs !!! weird music tho

  • Find some glass paint and try your hand at some back plane art :]

    Also get something to help water proof it like a thinly spred layer of clear varnish worked for me.

  • Okay, what happened to reply? Sorry if I accidentally insulted somebody I didn't mean to, I was complaining about the people who are saying that it's okay to keep bettas in tiny cups. Just because you might want to hear you can keep a little colourful fishy in a tiny container on your desk, doesn't mean its true. They may survive like that, but they don't LIVE like that. They hate it.

  • the scuba one i think kinda makes the fish go pee more than he often does

  • No offence but this is the biggest load of shit I've ever read. Bettas may not need big tanks but they DO need sufficient swimming space. How exactly are bettas going to breed in muddy puddles of water? They don't LIVE there, they END UP there in the dry season when floods recede.

    In captivity they need at least 1 gallon, clean water, below 0.25ppm ammonia AT ALL TIMES. Gravel and other decorations make them behave more naturally instead of just sitting in one place.

  • No, thy live in foot deep miles long rice paddies in Thailand. Their labrinth allowes them to breath atmospheric air. Check your facts buddy =) =).

  • People shoudn't bag other people on how they keep there fish, these tanks are great, an if this person could have a heater, it would be reccomended, but the fish look fine, and the tank designs are cool. Bettas can do ok in as little as .5 of a gallon, but should be in at least 1 gallon for maximum happiness, and if you have a tank that is large enough and is glass, then you should have a heater and filter if you can, but as long as there tanks are heated to some degree, they will do fine.

  • lol France

  • why don´t you put a plastic fish into that tacky nightmare?

  • what type of filter should i get for a 10 gallon tank with 4 female betta, 2or 3 otos, and 2 ghost shrimp?

  • the first and second betta dont look very healthy and you need a filter and heater in there....

  • the first and last ones are kinda ugly in my opinion, but I like the middle (black rocks) one! They could all use a few more plants, too... Still, way better than those little teeny cups that people sometimes keep them in which should be illegal! Check out mine and let me know what you think!

  • inside those little teeny cups they will live longer. and its easy to breath for them. in nature they live in rise fields so they are used to low water.

  • That's a common misconception. Bettas actually live in larger bodies of water. They're tropical too, so they require a heater. Keep a betta in a little cup like that and see how long they last.

    It's best to keep a betta in at least a 2.5 gallon aquarium.

  • ^ Absolutely correct. On a rice paddy or other natural habitat there are bacteria to remove harmful waste. These are NOT present in cups. Betta cups are cruel and result in the deaths (and misery) of bettas.

  • nice tanks but y veil tail bettas?

    there too common

  • they are so pretty though. plus to some of us they are our favorite type

  • As a betta owner nice to see that you have given them lots of space to swim,,,,very clean and nice tanks.

    Also video was presented very nicely with music and all..

    Enjoyed =)

  • the tanks are too plain

  • IT's the way I like them. You're mileage may vary.

  • i liked the black rock one the best

  • nice tank. ugly betta

  • cool vid!!!

  • Hi,

    Where did you buy your fish tanks from?

  • 1st 1= viva la France???

  • Ever hear of the concept of "free speech"? I expressed my opinion. It's your perogative to disagree, but no need to throw hissyfit after hissyfit. Get over it!

    And this will be my last reponse to you. Hopefully when you get to your 10th birthday you'll become a bit more mature. ;

  • they suck there not active at all

  • The title of this video *is* Three Aquarium Designs, not three Bettas swimming around....

    And in any event, that's why I used the cool music, to make up for a little bit of inactivity...

  • i dont care they suck

  • You're just mad because I criticized the fact that you had too little water in *your* aquarium. So there, nyah. (Sarcasm alert.)

  • yes i am because her aquarium was perfectly fine and it looks ten times better than this gay one

  • i love all the tanks but i also love the third fish! he is so pretty, i've never seen one like it

  • how many gallons is that?

  • Sorry to be late in answering. 2.5 gallons. Really too small for bettas - they should be in 5 - 10 gallon tanks ideally.

  • they look very happy, healthy, and fat which is good. nice job

  • cool tanks. I like 3. simple, clean, very nice on all of them.

  • I liked the middle one the best.

  • I think I liked the black rock one best, it was very "zen" on the other hand the first one reminded me of pirates, was it the music?
