- Buying EXPENSIVE AQUARIUM SUPPLIES For CHEAP From DOLLAR STORE!
In this video I buy a bunch of cheap fish tank aquarium supplies from the dollar store and save hundreds! Aquarium supplies are often regular items with just an added label "for aquariums", so instead of paying for example $100+ for an aquascaping tool kit, I spent $1! Some items of course do need to be purchased from aquarium stores, like rocks, gravel, or sand, but some are perfectly safe from here! Comment below your favorite item and thank you for watching!

these types of videos are why i like you and Ryo Watanabe so much more than other fishtubers. you both keep it at reasonable prices and tell us how much stuff costs. so many fish youtubers either buy or get sent stuff costing hundreds of dollars and then they tell you it's the best and you have to get it. or they fall into the trap of buying a million things and doing everything SUPER BIG to the point the rest of us can't hope to do anything close. fishkeeping does not need to cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. thank you for keeping your audience in mind.
Ur the one that inspired me to get a tank
Same I have a 10 gal tropical and a 5 gal beta tank and before I saw your videos I didn't want to get a tank because I thought it would be hard work but you make things so simple thanks 😁
the glass lid idea is fantastic I will be doing that! Thank you
honestly its that shark poster for me id love something like that(sharks are cool)
Agreed, I feel bad for them though. Everyone thinks they are mean, human killing animals. They just think we are seals.
Thanks for sharing your finds with the rest of us! I do agree that the strainer is satisfying.
You should setup a 10 gallon tank with dollar store stuff only by the way love the vids
I am rescuing a baby betta soon (possibly tomorrow) because of you! Thank you so much for teaching me everything and inspiring me to do this!
(The tank is all set up and cycled)
Superglue works for attaching plants to things but I would recommend fishing line. Because with superglue, once it’s dry you will see the excess glue on the plant and it looks awkward to have a whitish-grayish bit of glue just in your tank.
Some rocks and stones from dollar stores are okay for fish tanks- provided you do the test before putting it in their tank. What's the test? In your bathroom sink (I've a houserule nothing of non-human consumption ever entered into my kitchen by any means- for any means) very lightly rinsed off stones the cold water quickly. Let them dry on a paper towel. Use a Q-tip and dab in household vinegar, then 'shake' the Q-tip over one rock (repeat Q-tip vinegar process for each Rock). you want to give a couple seconds and see what happens to the vinegar on each stone/rock- if it fizzes; it contains too much non-fish friendly stuff for a tank. The rocks that don't fizz are worthy of the tank, but should be soaked (in a container that has never had chemicals or soap) for 24 hours , water best at ice cold. Alternatively you can boil them for an hour or so, but sometimes they leak a smell in your house that's worse than anything lol
Very usefull video. 👍🏼
But I got a question... Does plants grow with this kind of lamp you showed? 🤔
For my 2 betta tanks I use Nicrew lights, and for my 22g planted tank I work with the Eheim 6500 lumen light.
Fishkeeping hobby is expensive.... But it worth it. 😎
I have used a bigger desk reading lamp than that (5 watt if i remember correctly) to try grow some floating plants, and it didn't end well 😅. I guess these kind of light have a lower kelvin than a plant needed to grow / thrive.
been looking forward to this videoo
Hope you enjoyed! :)
Lol same
I can't believe I'll see you when you're 100 subscribers good job
Love the tweezers! Great for nano tanks - i have some regular size aquascaping tools but often find them awkward to use within the small confines of nano tanks....
What gravel vacuum do you use?
those tweezers are a great deal, I use my dental forceps that my grandpa gave me, they are $240 new so $1 for 4 is a great deal
Wait can that small tank be like for snails???
No
@Walker Anderson Hello :D I know this is a scam beause it has been getting spammed all on youtube!
guys stop giving them false info u can’t use it for apple snails, nerite snails, or any of those big snails u can however use it for small snails but since those snails breed like crazy u have to do daily water changes
I havent put it on my tank yet but dollar tree sells rolls of craft paper I got the rock one to use as a background
I am so happy that I found your channel today :) Your videos are giving me so much inspiration for getting my first betta in the future :)
Samee!
What do you recommend for a filter for a 5 gallon tank for a new betta fish?
Thank you so much for this! I love these types of videos!
Glad you like them!😊
I love your vids!
Get a water proof go pro and do a time lapse of your fish 🐠
Wow awesome glad I found your channel positive vibes from Cali 🥰🙏🏾
Can you do a video on swim bladder disease ? My beta has had it for about a week now I tried the pea method and cleaned his whole tank I even separated him from it but he seems the same
I have a question do you use heaters or is it warm enough where you live?
Thank u for the video I needed a bucket for water changes
Because of you I got a 10 gallon tank with three female betas and some other fish love your vid‘s
do you have any idea what kind of metals the tweezers are instead of the expensive ones. cheaply made ones could have metallized alloys leaching out of them into the water and kill the fish if you don't do your research. obviously if in doing research you find that they're actually have for aquariums then that's a great find!
Hi!! I recently got a betta in a new tank but forgot a sponge filter, now I’m stuck with one that’s problem too strong for the little guy, is there anything I could do for a temporary solution until I can get a sponge filter??
At 8:30 I used that when I'm cleaning the betta fish's tank completely so I take it to the use water to the clean water
Not from the dollar store, but pea gravel from home depot is like three dollars and it comes in a huge bag so if you don't need all of it for aquascaping, you can scape your backyard with it by making a little pebble trail to walk on or put it under your hose nozzle to keep grass at bay. :) Super handy and all you have to do is rinse the rocks off beforehand to remove the mud and dirt from it.
I have a question is it okay to use tap water and water conditioners for your fish tanks???
@@lynnbonica4342 same exact process for me just wanted to make sure I was doing everything correctly! Thanks!
I use a couple gallons of drinking water cause my tap water in my city is contaminated.. but also try to warm it up before putting your fish in.
So glad you posted, awesome video!!!
You inspired me to finally get a betta tank! He’s In a 5g with a filter and heater but unfortunately I don’t have any tannins so the water is a little hard.
How do you get a DIY top for a 10 gallon that is not split
I love your videos your the best and now I have 2 betta fish
Hiii! I love your videos!!! You’ve helped me take better care of my bettas. Tysm
You’re the best
it would be cool to see you do an aqua bridge for two of your tanks
Hi! I have a suggestion for a TH-cam vid; could you maybe list ideas for DIY aquarium decorations? Love this channel! 💙
Well this cheered me up after my betta barthalomule passed away. Do you have any suggestions for a name for a new fish
I love that name mines name is Tuna 😂
@@carleighjudd1002 I like that name. I got a new fish and her name is Lisa. Doing well and in a bigger tank
Here's a tip instead of the poster board use the place mats or contact paper. Water resistant.
What kind of gravel do i need to have live plants in it?
some plants, such as the ones you can find at petco, are fine with regular gravel. However, if you have heavy root feeders such as Cryptocoryne, they need root tabs or nutritious substrate.
I like the pack of tweezers and the bucket!!
I found out so quick that I needed a lighter color bucket. Rofl. Luckily they had beige buckets. Why, you say? I put my fish in there to clean the tank and couldnt see the fish to put them back in. Lol. Biegel, better. Lol
Anyone with experience scraping algae off tank with razor blade. Can you please tell me if it has ever scratched your tank because it seems kinda risky
What kind of fish is Albert??
Also I have a copy in my tank and the beaters are picking on the guppies tail anyone have any tips for me
My favourite thing was the buckets!!
i just bought a 4-6 pack of aquascaping tools from 13 buck from amazon
So I have a big question my beta is not eating any of the foods I gave him what do I do? 😬
Make sure your water parameters is fine and clean. Rise the temperature a little bit to promote higher metabolism. Try live food or frozen food such as frozen bloodworm.
Thanks I got him to eat bloodworms and beta flakes I guess he didnt like the pelits I did a water change I did raise the temp a little too.
@@carleighjudd1002 that's good to hear :). My male Koi Plakat Betta doesn't like pelet when its hard so i need to make it soft first before giving it to him.
Cool 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very great ideas.
Great video - I love The Dollar Tree !
thank you!! Im on a budget alot of the time and really use this!! Thank you i live the videos!!
I LOVE THIS!
The picture frame lid is a genius idea. I am just scared my cats would knock it over
u can put command hooks on the sides so they slide in and out thats what i have
I like the pack of tweezers most. 😄
I was wondering how often you need to clean your betta tank(10 gallon) Now it is just a betta but I originally had 3 tetras in my tank but the next morning they died.The betta did not eat them because they were whole but they were stuck on the side of the filter. What happened?
I do weekly water changes (about 20%) on all 3 of my betta tanks. But i also have snails in my tanks, so if you're just going with a betta, they can go 3-4 weeks with no water change. 2 weeks is a good time to do a water change. Also if you just have a betta in a 10g, you could do just 10-15%
@@chanelkohler9390 Yes it is just a betta thank you!
Glass is cheap at home depot if you don't want empty frames left. They cost as much those frames, couple of bucks.
I got a eco 13.5 gallon tank saltwater
Just buy yourself an acryllic sheet and make ur own aquarium of any size- at machine shop
Acrylic (polycarbonate) sheets are really expensive. Not sure that’s a cost-effective recommendation. It would be fun to do though!
Can You Please Do Reacting To People's Shrimp Tanks.
You should collab with soda pets
My betta stays up on the surface for 5 minutes, goes down for 30 minutes, and comes back up. His swimming is perfectly fine, and he's perfectly healthy. Is it normal?
My best buy I've had for years now was a pipe cleaner from wish.... By best £1.99 ever spent
..... Keep tanking
When is the next video
How is the glowing salt water Elegy going and are you planning on getting salt water ?
P.ease do another betta tank review
