This looks awesome. Can I ask what plants are you using? I have the same tank I’ve inherited from my dad and only has 3 tetras in lol. I’d love to convert it to similar to yours with a betta
Thank you :). Non at all, my only comment is that due to the curvature you can't use magnetic algae scraper magnets so you have to accept you will be getting your hand in there and taking off any algae growth when it happens.
I just got my Fluval Flex and currently cycling it before adding a betta next month or so. I’ve heard stories of bettas jumping out of the feeding hole, so I was wondering if you happen to use anything to prevent that yourself?
I have never had any issues with jumping however I do have a betta hammock just under the feeding hole. He likes to sit on it when I am near waiting for food. I think the hammock would stop him ever getting up the speed to get properly airborne if you were worried about something like that.
Great video! I have the exact same tank and size as you. I see the bubbles in the background (I’m kinda new to keeping fish) did you purchase that separately? As my tank doesn’t seem to have any bubbles and i am a little concerned about the oxygen levels in my tank. I have one female betta and 6 tetras. Do you recommend purchasing an air tank for the bubbles? Thanks
Are you sure that thermometer is accurate but looks great it will be baby shrimp that get in the back they grow up and get stuck o my keep light on less that 8 hours
Wasn't certain but I have a second one in there as well now and it reads the same as my electric one. The thermostat on the heater is definitely a bit out unfortunately.
Yeah for sure, I made this video not that long after I started in the hobby and I now have the airstone on all the time. I may make a new video to go through things like that :)
@@jackfishtips8889 I just got my betta yesterday he’s been swimming against the glass constantly called glass surfing cos his in a new environment he’s a veil tail
He's probably referring to the lack of training and knowledge pet store workers receive. See I work at a pet store and their training comes from videos and papers instead of physical interactions or classes so it makes it hard to absorb information therefore we are considered stupid for not doing our homework. However, it is my firm believe that if folks are going to get into the hobby that they should do some research on their own before turning fish into a project their not really passionate about which results in a lot of fatalities. See its easier to blame someone else instead of accepting responsibility that folks don't seek out their own knowledge and rely solely on the words and advice from others. 🙂
