poor guy :( bettas need to breath from the surface. well thats what mine does. but cool tank tho. i would have it as an amphibian tank for da bottem then for fish on the top part
betta are air breathers. they like a hit of air even though they have gills. i've heard that bettas can drown if they cant come up for air from their labrynth. my betta make an effort to go up for air all the time even though their tanks have air pumps
Why do you people think all fish stores keep betta fish in a plactic cup with about a about 12 oz of water in them? Why do you think all fish stores sell 1 gallon betta bowls...That fish is probably so ecstatic to be able to swim freely.
Id recommend an amazon sword plant, they grow a decent size and would look fantastic int he taller portion of the tank. A small cave int he lower portion and some anubis nana plants would make this tank look really good!
Bettas only breath air from the surface when the oxygen level in the tank is low. They can take in air from the tank so long as it has the pump providing the oxygen from them. If your betta fish needs air from outside of it's tank, then that means you're not taking good care of it.
Anyways, this tank is missing a hiding place and plants. Betta fish need a hiding place, and plants. If this was provided then it would be a better tank.
@thespiritwithinlink Actually all Betta breathe surface air. Doesn't matter how much oxygen there is in the water. Its a normal behavior. Just because the fish is taking in surface air doesn't mean its not well cared for,
Hmm...unfortunately I don't really like this tank. It's a nice design but you should have thought more about the Betta's own wellbeing. It should at least have some little air holes and live plants, but at least you gave it a lot of space.
Just because be dosnt have a air stone in his tank (that he dosnt need for 2 reasons 1 he has one fish dosnt use muct o2 and 2 the filter adds anuf air to the water from the suface agitation ) You sir have the luckiest betta in the world great job.
It's amazing how many people there is, feeling the need to post stupid "the betta is going to drown because lack of air" comments, obviously knowing nothing about this type of tank. Google it, get your facts right, and come back.
@IAmDampAnkaAgain That and they don't realize that a betta has gills, like any other fish...they can breathe UNDER water too...OMG. That and I don't think they realize how smart bettas are. If he was oxygen deprived he's just go to the lower tank and freakin breathe. I'm literally in stitches right now laughing at some of the dumbass comments.
Btw dude, this tank is sheer beauty, but is there anything you could to add a hide or something for him to get cozy in? Like a leafy plant, or a cave?
@JacobsAquarium Um, NO ! Lucky bamboo's root system needs to be in water, but not the entire plant fully submerged, dubmass, ! look it up, He now has a video, one year later where this same lucky bamboo, has grown way bigger, (like freakin crazy)
@Livin4theMic Um, NO!! DUMBASS Lucky Bamboo naturally grows in soil under the canopy in the rain forests of cameroon Africa. They grow naturally in soil there for they grow best planted in pots. Do you research before you respond to comments all high and mighty. DUMBASS.
@JacobsAquarium you must have not looked at his one year later video, did you.... um no, I didnt think so, sh*thead......... i know it grows naturally there in the rain forrest, i never said make a betta tank and watch the bamboo, just appear one day naturally own its own..... gah.. im saying it will survive in his tank, not completely under water though, is what i was implying, (if you dont know what implying means, it is the point i was trying to get across !!!!!!!!! F*CKHEAD!
That's lovely but bettas have lungs very similar to a human lung. Having no air in the top of the upside down tank it can make it I'll or make it stressed not having the oxygen when it needs it.
are you guys blind? there's a huge opening at the bottom of the tank where the betta is. he can escape out of there and take a breath. he'll most likely accidentally find it and soon be able to know how to get there. bettas aren't that dumb. if you think they are, you must be pretty dumb yourself or don't know anything about fish.
A labyrinth or any fishes nature instinct is to swim up for air...by the time this betta figure out how to get out of this trap his oxygen will have depleted and die. This is like throwing a person into a pool and cover it with no room to breath. This is a death torture chamber...R.I.P little betta. The ultimate hi-tech betta torture chamber.
Does everything have to be so minimalist? I mean couldn't you get some foliage or ornaments? Nah that's just what I think and it's your tank and looks great how it is!
Yeah, he needs air holes, though I know that would not allow for this type of tank. Also, the horizontal tank has no cover, so have you had accidents with him jumping out? They need lids as they're fantastic jumpers.
I'm giveing you a 5 star earring for you video production but if i was to rate you according to you treatment of that bata I would give you -5 stars because that tank is not sutible for a bata.batas like shallower water and prefer to be in a more confined space they also like to be in takes with lots of foilage so get that poor bata out of this tank
@huffieboy1021 Bettas don't like shallower water, where did you hear that? And they LIKE confined spaces?! No offense, because I agree with you that the tnak is awesome but the betta care portion of it is bad, but where did you get your information, as those statements are not correct.
@MsYogaGrrrl betta actually do like shallow water maybe like 6-8inch or little more. This is because it make it easier for them to access oxygen on the top while they wander around the tank. But in order to keep a shallow water tank you must give it alot of room to swimming around. Most poeple have small tank for their betta so they got to fill it up to the top anyways since they dont got much space for the fish.
Actually in the wild bettas only breath using their labyrinth organ if they need to. My betta lives in a 5 gallon and next to never breaths using the top.
Holy shit, just give the betta a regular tank. The aquarium is supposed to somewhat replicate the real habitat. You're trying a teach the betta to go down instead of up for air.
and how does a regular tank replicate a padi field? Would you think you get overhangs on banks of streams and ponds? That’s the place fish like these hang out.
@MarineTechStore they are not fighters!!! they are bettas!!! stop calling them fighters thats really just not a name for a fish that u just judge! and yes its bamboo!
@MarineTechStore Thanks for the quick reply. I'm planning on building something similar to this one. Youtube user "Fishfreedom" has similar ones, but they're MUCH larger.
@24Bisma it does have air. all the betta will is swim dwn to the bottom of the section he's in and out into the second part and BAM theres the air..i mean keywords are UPSIDE DOWN betta tank
Bettas need to breathe air from the surface, if you don't mind me asking, how would the betta know to come out from under the tower to get air? Wouldn't he suffocate? He needs air and there is no air in the tower..?
Bettas need oxygen not air. He gets his oxygen by passing water through his gills. If the water were to become polluted or very warm 82°F+ then he would supplement his oxygen intake by drawing air into his labyrinthiform organ. He seems to know his way around the tank quite well and to date he has not died.
they don't. most fish have gills. you have to arate the water for fish because they breath through there gills my passing water when theres oxygen i n the water bettas dont have egills
