Good video! Bettas are possibly even more beautiful than cichlids
beautiful tanks, and just so you know your eyes are amazing ! lol
His fins look so nice and healthy
It's always exciting to get new fish! I went a little crazy as well last week and made a video of it. 🔥is a cool tetra and I bet, will grow out nicely. Those ember tetras are neat. I've never seen them at my LFS.
@@PriceTagAquariums I will have to checkout your new fish! If you like tetras you should definitely buy some ember tetras 😀
@TalisaAquarist Yeah go right ahead! Lol. Might add the tetras to my community if I can find them
gorgeous tanks, and your fish are so so cute! 💚💚
@@mommymarz thank you so much! 😀🩵🐟
Call him Comet!
Love the tank
@@Smallfish16 thank you! 🩵
Nice👍
@@markfranklin8831 thanks for watching! 🐟
Yeah, a pea puffer would take chunks out of him, sadly.
@@MeanOldLady the pea puffer would have had the tank to himself, I never intended to keep a betta and pea puffer together. I had considered adding a pea puffer instead of a betta 😊 thank you for watching!
I've got a red & blue rosetail betta who "struts" everywhere he goes like he owns everything. I named him El Macho. =p But when handling him he's very sweet & gentle. I just adore him!
@@MeanOldLady I love it! ❤️
Ember tetras are cool . I had 20 in a community tank for years then I put in my Fahaka puffer and lived with him for awhile as well.
@@pattys_aquatics so far I am liking them! They’re a great fish to keep with bettas! Thanks for watching!
I love ember tetras ! I have 5 in my betta female sibling community tank :)!
@@ucaquatics I am really liking them so far! 😀
@@ucaquatics thanks for watching! ❤️
Such great new fish talisa! Flame 🔥 really does accentuate his tank! The ember tetras are very nice too, and no worries plenty fast for your betta. Love the big yellow girl too. And the male in the QT tank i think rusty is a great name! I dont know why , but it seems to fit him 😂 congrats on you new fish!😊👍🏻
@@pelhamsaquatics thanks for watching! 😀 Rusty would be a good name for the betta!
I have a red veil tail in a 5.5 too. I named mine Sir Phoenix Heart. Yes he has 2 names with a sir because I couldn’t decide between phoenix and heart. Edit: I never seen a yellow betta she is stunning
@@CrystalmarieGrz 😅 lol! Thank you! I love her! 🔆
Just off the title this is going to be the story of me going to the fish store. Honestly I went the other day looking for purple buce…. Why did I leave with lucky bamboo, a banana lily, and a few extra Pygmy Corydoras. Also one of the new Pygmy’s got trapped in the banana lily thankfully I saved him but then had to move the banana lily to my 15 gallon. All this in a comment when I have only made it 17 seconds into your video.
@@CrystalmarieGrz lol! I am sure we can all relate to going a little too crazy at the fish store 🙊
Hey talisa! Thanks for discussing this subject , great information!
@@TheSalient1 thanks for watching! 😀
She’s cute!
@@Lottiesnature thank you!
Very good video :))! I just uploaded my first video (that I filmed 7 months ago 😅😂). I’m always waiting for new videos from you :)!
@@ucaquatics I will be sure to checkout your video! 😀 Thank you for watching! 🩵
@@ucaquatics I just watched your video, it’s great! I am looking forward to more content from you! I was unable to comment on the video though,
@@TalisaAquarist thank you for checking it out :) - i had it set on "for kids" so it didnt allow people to comment :) i hope i fixed it now :D
I so desperately want to know if you get any sweet potatoes and how they taste. There is a very good chance I am going to try this in my 20 long I have terrestrial plant lights above that tank for the bamboo and pothos as well as my nicrew plant light for the fish. And I love sweet potatoes
@@CrystalmarieGrz I would be pretty shocked if a sweet potato grew underwater, it would probably just rot, but I don’t know. This is my first time growing sweet potato vines in an aquarium. I started with a sweet potato and then it rotted, so I pulled the vines with roots off of the potato and put them in the water to see if they would keep growing, and they have!
@@TalisaAquaristyeah good point I didn’t think about that I was thinking maybe it would grow out of the water but no that’s not how potatoes grow. That’s awesome and I think I will try it in a separate container in the tank water then put the vine in once the potato rots and I’m left with the vine I’ll put it into the tank. Edit: I really need some vines I absolutely hate the way the stand looks it’s utility shelves so some nice vines growing up the metal would look very nice
Sometimes the potatoes don’t rot, mine just did for whatever reason.
@@TalisaAquarist maybe I could plant it in the tank? I have organic potting soil under the sand so if it rots it will rejuvenate the soil
@@CrystalmarieGrz I am not sure if that would work or not🤷🏻♀️
Squish just squishin about being the legend he is😊 my spanish ribs did this samr floating back legged dance the other day
Are these good beginner pets they are so cool
@@hanselsgrettles5755 no they’re not a beginner pet, they require colder than room temperature water and they are very messy, they also need to be fed worms. And they have to be kept on either a bare bottom tank or very fine sand. If you really like axolotl’s I highly recommend doing a lot of research to see if they’re a good pet for you!
That’s a gorgeous pleco. I love guppies. I have a 15 gallon with 10 females a 10 gallon with 8 males and a 20 gallon with about 1,785,604. A few are pregnant so I’ll have 2million next week. 😂
@@CrystalmarieGrz 😂 I love guppies, they’re great!
If I get something like that can it get sunlight if it’s near a window or does it have to be in darkness
@@hanselsgrettles5755 many of my tanks get sunlight as well as the nicrew plant lights I have. The only issue with too much sunlight is algae. I have a corner or my 10 gallon that has thick algae every week. It does help keep the water clean and my boys love nibbling on the algae I typically remove it once a month when I scrape the front of my other tanks.
@@TalisaAquarist they are great and as long as you start with a male and 2 females you will never buy them again….. neither will any of your friends or family or local fish store 😂
@@hanselsgrettles5755 you can keep the tank near a window, you will just need to limit the amount of hours your aquarium light is on, possibly to 4-6 hours a day depending on how much natural light the tank receives.
I bought a pair of rainbow lightning guppies there breeding well
@@larryhenry719 that’s great! Guppies are some of my favorite fish to keep!
What will you be doing with all those babies
Mine used to love hanging upside down by her toes 🫶🏼🤣😊
Simplicity often gives a big statement. Looks great
@@gbeeshrimp thank you!
For me it's the flow that makes long fin bettas stressed not the size of the tank. I guess 5 gallon though is fine for a betta (long fin) if ideal in a healthy way. Anything smaller than that is awful and I don't know why anyone still does this . I really like your tanks and your bettas! Those low/floor tanks are hard to siphon. I've had to use an electric siphon to remove water even. I think it could work to siphon the bottom if the hose could be manipulated to slow the suction. The electric siphons really are strong.
@@heaven7360 thanks! Yes I don’t recommend people keep betta fish in anything smaller than 5 gallons unless the betta fish has a disability or is very lethargic from old age
@@heaven7360 I figure the mulm just helps to provide more food for the guppy fry.
Excellent information talisa!!i tend to prefer the shortfin betta types!,your betta tanks really are beautiful!😍 and it was lovely to see you on the livestream too! Thanks so much for this video!⭐️❤️⭐️

Oh he is so happy in the 20 long. Those are shallow like a 10 gallon so he will probably always do well in there. I love my 20 long it has a deep sand substrate so it’s even more shallow but my tetras, cherry shrimp, Pygmy Corydoras, and 2 upside down cats don’t mind the shallow one bit. Actually the male upside down cat loves digging under the sponge filter creating his lair while the female who is larger has the cichlid cave. No she doesn’t share her house she will share the wood scape sometimes.
@@CrystalmarieGrz I just love 20 gallon long tanks, they have such a great footprint!
I just hit play but I thought it was the opposite. So longer fin needs shallow tanks but less flowy fins can go in 20 standard height. My veil tail male started in a 10 gallon but is far more relaxed in his 5 gallon. It could be the different plants but he doesn’t swim back and forth like he did in the 10. It was like he kept thinking there was another fish in the tank. Both have lots of plants but the 10 didn’t have any anubias. Edit: I love the pea puffer and that will look amazing.
@@CrystalmarieGrz veil tail bettas can have especially long fins! I am glad he is happy in his smaller tank!
@@TalisaAquarist me too. I was worried a lot when he was in the 10 gallon. He also flares then swims away super fast and hides from his reflection. We stopped trying a while ago. He gets exercise when he flares at the mystery snail for sleeping on the front glass. The snail really upsets him 😂
Yes start a disco tank🔥💯
@@deeannagood2380 I just might 😁
Hello , I have been trying to find a few insightful things to say about the latest predicament and the style or the approach is a great description for the fish that you have had / have , snails & shrimp too....but in all of your videos in the 8 + months that I have watching it's not a big mystery it's just that you have been doing to much and I have to be honest with you about not having the patience for the ecosystem to get established and I have a feeling that you will have a lot of success in your future but just keep it in 3rd gear and let it rev up a little while before you get your plans for the new place or whatever you ( need ) is great, but maybe for great KARMA find out what they need 😺😸😼😽😾😻😹
@@stoneysscapes7544 you’re right, I definitely struggle to be patient and just let the tanks mature into an ecosystem and not have too much going on in the tanks! I’m trying to be more patient and just wait for my tanks to mature, my favorite tanks are always ones that have been setup for about a year, they’re so much easier!
So sorry to hear about your fish loss. You and I have really bad luck lately :( I know stress can do crazy things to all living animals.. I have also learned from not quarantining fish. Live and learn though. I do it for 30 days now. Your bettas looks great btw. Good luck on your future fish.
@@PriceTagAquariums thank you! Hopefully both of us have a lot more success with our aquariums in the future! 🩵🌿🐟
@TalisaAquarist You're welcome. Yeah, gotta bounce back and keep trying! 👍
💯
Did you check the heater? Was there a prolonged dip in temperature? It may not be that your parameters are off, maybe just that they're way different to the petstore's parameters .... Did you 'plop and drop' or empty in the petstore water when adding the new fish? High probability it was something preexisting introduced from the petstore water or internal from those fish. When buying fish ask how long they've been on display, when they came in etc. Observe the tank they're displayed in, ask if the tanks are sharing water with the other tanks/sharing a sump, obsreve those tanks too, if there's sick or dead fish or fish with sunken bellies in those tanks, then maybe hold off on your purchase. The SLOW and sick fish are easier to net out, watch as they're being netted, don't be afraid to say, 'that one looks a bit unwell can you swap it for another please'.
@@mtsanonymous thanks for the advice! The heater in the tank is working well, it’s a new one.
Unique.
Beautiful Platy, that is a gorgeous female, I have never seen that variety before. If you have a pump and sponge filter lying around I would use it, some extra bacterial filtration isn't going to hurt and the water agitation will add more oxygen. If you have a pump but no sponge filter even just an air stone would benefit by agitating the water surface and stimulate oxygen exchange. Yes a no tech tank can work, but just a low tech sponge filter or air stone adds a lot of benefits for very little cost.
@@JoshV74656 since making this video I have added a sponge filter and a heater, they act less stressed.
@@TalisaAquarist Hopefully they breed for you, pretty fish.
Thank you! I hope so!
I added 4 Ottos this spring, two died and two made it. As soon as the first one died I started doing 20 percent water changes and gravel vac every other day for two weeks. I also noticed just a trace of ick on a few fish so I treated with ParaGuard for those two weeks also. I might have just gotten lucky but everything returned to normal quickly. I think Father Fish and others have done a disservice to the aquarium hobby with his anti-water change stance. I have been keeping fish off and on for 30 years and I swear by weekly water changes, plants or no plants. I am fortunate to have good tap water though.
Yeah I have realized that the no water change method only works if you have a lot of stem plants and you stock very lightly, and even then, Father Fish does water changes, just not every week, it’s typically a few times a year.
I ordered a 20 galaxy Rasbora and 20 emerald dwarf rasbora.. I quarantined them together for 4 days. No issue so I added them to my established tank that had 25 chili rasboras. 2 days later the chilis had ick…. I’m guessing the stress of the new inhabitants stressed them out. Sometimes it’s something you couldn’t predict
I hope your Rasbora healed up quick, ick usually isn't a big deal in an established tank. Just my opinion, but if you are going to quarantine at all go for at least two weeks, otherwise why bother. Parasites can easily take a week or two to even show up.
Thankfully ich is easy to treat! Still stressful though!
It's probably your water source, you should switch to R.O water. This sounds like a lack of experience in fish keeping.
A good water source is a real thing for sure. I am fortunate to have good tap water, but a lot of folks don't. There was a TH-camr from the UK who not too long ago lost like half his fish room. Turned out his tap water had something toxic in it (that wasn't great for humans either). Apparently it used to be fine so something must have gotten in the water supply, we take clean water for granted.
R.O is only good for saltwater
That stinks Talisa, I’m sorry! Sometimes these things are a mystery. I had a friend that couldn’t keep a lot of fish, snails and shrimp alive no matter what he did. Eventually found out it was a softener he was adding to his house water. Not saying that’s the case with yours but my point is all water is H2O but everyone’s has differences whether slight or huge and some fish and inhabitants are just more touchy to those. Hope the new fish don’t give you any problems.
@@pattys_aquatics yeah I am starting to think that it’s probably just something in my water, I think once we move I will see how they do with the new water.
Also I’m gonna need you to send me that beautiful branch in that tank 😂
@@TheSalient1 😂 I love my manzanita driftwood!
Hi talisa! Great video! I quarantine all sick and new fish, it’s tough as u don’t want to spend the time and money doing so, but being patient and doing so is worth it in the long run, the stress for sure is a huge factor, so when I do it I add salt , the api med trio , and turn the lights off for hours in combination with seachem stress gaurd and add extra air stone for more oxygen as meds and salt reduce oxygen, that’s for new fish , when I get a sick fish I like to just use salt and seachem stress gaurd as first then move to the meds if needed , but sometimes fish just die even when we have tried everything, I always test my water once a week just because you never know , things can change in an instant
@@TheSalient1 thanks for the suggestions! I did add a sponge filter and a heater, I may do another big water change and then add more tannins until I can get some stress guard!
I also have water that catfish of any kind survive in. Also shrimps too for me. And in saltwater I can't keep Anemone either even with perfect parameters
@@NamelessNancy1312 that’s too bad! I am thinking it probably is just something in my water.
I'm sorry about your fishes... Have you tried panda garra? They are very personable, pretty and peaceful. I think they fit perfectly in your newly scaped 49g!
Thank you! I have not ever kept panda garra, I would need to look into their care first:)
I’m so sorry. I losing fish is heartbreaking especially when something you did may have caused the issue. Honestly though maybe quarantine would have helped but probably not. It doesn’t sound like there was enough time for a sick fish to have caused the death of other healthy fish. It most likely was bad timing. But there is no way to know for sure. I’m super guilty of not quarantining and it is absolutely good advice and at the very least it makes it easier to tell if it was bad timing or a sick fish
Thank you 💝
