- Dante is a plakat betta. One day, all of the cherry shrimp were gone from the tank all at once. I couldn’t believe that he would eat nearly 10 shrimp in one day. Turns out, he did eat some, but others were hiding under the volcano filter. He did go after the “clear” or wild shrimp later, but he left the Amano shrimp alone, except the biggest female Amano.
I’m not sure how many shrimp are living underneath the volcano, but they seem to be breeding under there. The shrimp that jumped out were all young or baby shrimp. I think the most shrimp only come out at night when Dante is sleeping b/c during the day, I hardly see any. Only shrimp that are moving about are a few Amano shrimp.
There weren’t any openings at the bottom of the volcano in the beginning. I think the Amanos dug up the gravel, or maybe after I moved, I didn’t seal it well enough during the setup. Now, after cleaning the pump, I intentionally left lots of openings here and there for the shrimp, but not big enough for Dante to squeeze through.
Also, one tetra is MIA.
The shrimp, most likely the Amanos, ate all of the floating plants - the Ricciocarpos natans. They ate the roots first, then later ate the dying leaves. Interestingly, nobody touched the regular duckweed and the giant duckweed.
Hydra is pest. They can sting fish or other critters. I was going to use hydrogen peroxide on it, but they disappeared after a while on their own.
The nerite eggs won't hatch in this tank. They need to be in brackish water to hatch.

Favorite Dante food:
Hikari Betta Bio-Gold amzn.to/2ByRG3h
Food for eveyone:
Tetramin Flakes: amzn.to/2Gouypo
Making Brine Shrimp: • Ep.7 Spinach Betta Tan...
(*The most important part is the salinity and temperature. At room temperature, it might take 48 hours to hatch. At Higher the temps, they might hatch in less than 24 hours.)
(*For salinity, I’m going by the 1 table spoon per liter rule. However, depending on the salt, you might want to try up to 2 table spoons.)
Brine shrimp eggs: amzn.to/2L0Y4rG
100% deep sea salt amzn.to/2YVeiFd
(I use deep sea salt, but I think other salts will work, too. Something like aquarium salt.)
Brine shrimp net: amzn.to/30Gkrqg
60ml syringe: amzn.to/2W9iWm5
Neodymium Magnet: amzn.to/2QkFABu
Cherry shrimp amzn.to/2FsObxB
Amano shrimp: amzn.to/2U9pw9c
The plants in this tank now:
Micro sword amzn.to/301YQHl - Still hanging on.
Pygmy chain sword amzn.to/2HWhfyS - It stayed very short and small and sent out lots of runners.
Glosso amzn.to/2LFAVbn - They have sent out lots runners. It’s staying very small and low to the ground.
Java moss amzn.to/2N4uQsr - The ones on the rock are doing well. The ones below the water surface are also doing well
Staurogyne repens amzn.to/39SlurG - It’s doing pretty well. It is a slow grower it seems.
Giant Duckweed amzn.to/2xV2iuR - It grows very fast in this tank.

Betas tend to be a little on the murderous side
Wagner starts playing on high key
@@NueThunderKing they are some little sociopaths lol
The music: 💕🌸🌈
What’s going on in the tank: 💀☠️👹
Dante: 👹😈🤡
Exactly, it makes it so creepy...
Mass destruction
lmao 😂
“The Amanos weren’t afraid of Dante”
I’m afraid of Dante
🤣🤣🤣🤣 dante got me scared to even look at him
so true... you discovered one of my deepest fear... DANTE...
I hate this comment so much
you now identify as a cherry shrimp
Add me in.
Cherry shrimp: *exists*
Dante: "So you have chosen death"
The legend says there's a lake on top of the volcano, where the red fish can't reach and eat any cherry shrimps
😂😂this was really great.
Shhhhhhh!!! Hollywood wants to know your location. Lol
Many brave shrimp have died trying to reach it
they tried to build clay huts from flakes. The nerite dragon took them to heaven.
And then the fire nation attacked
Those shrimp probably like “so you just sent us here to die?”
"why are we still here? just to suffer?" - cherry shrimps last words before eaten by Dante
It do be like that
its the hunger game death for all those cherry shrimp , and its not funny
@@princesslunakusuma8322 oh come on, they're just shrimp! They don't have brains, just ganglia. They operate purely on instinct and never feel fear or pain. So why shouldn't he let the fish hunt them as if it would in the wild? It great enrichment for fish (which has a brain and is much more complex then shrimp) and it's educational and interesting for us watching the video.
@Abecedarium Animals will always be eating each other and thriving. I'm sorry the shrimps died, it wasn't what the tank maker intended, but it is what nature intended. Dante is less of a bottom-feeder than the shrimps, so he will continue to live his life strong and will create a lot more videos for us to learn from. I hope you can start to see the beauty of the process of life with gentle empathy (for the creatures like the shrimps) but with understanding (for the creatures compelled to eat the others, like Dante) as well
This is like a dystopian show where everybody is happy and living a carefree life but then they introduce the villain
and that one cherry shrimp is the protagonist trying to sneak out that survived the onslaught and death around him
Aquarium: **exists**
Duck weed: *Its free real state*
Free house for you J I M.
@@theguy1802 THE HOUSE IS FREE
Uh...what does free real estate mean?
Video: "One cherry was still alive!"
Dante: *appears
Audience: Dante, back off
Therapist: Dante hitler isn’t real he can’t hurt you
Dante hitler commuting mass genocide:
Me : Loomster is mean
Dante : *let me introduce myself*
Depak ranjan totally 😅😅
Damn. Guess single children love violence and war, huh?
@funny man What?
Came here for Devil May Cry references, was not disappointed.
Dante: *returns to the scene* "who killed all my shrimp friends?" *stares at camera*
Why did I imagine Dwight from the office while reading this😂
If this were a Disney movie, those shrimps stopped the motor as an SOS. “Help us sky lord of fruits and vegetables! A great red monster is eating anyone who looks like him! “
This comment gòt me 😄😄
Well, Bettas can get very aggressive with colorful male guppies because they remind betta males of other males of their species. Maybe he just sees the same colour as him and just wants to kill it all.
Dante: “THERE CAN ONLY BE *ONE* RED”
Safina Rohali There can only be one
BUT THERE CAN BE ONE DED
@@adolphaselrah9506 I knew I wasn't the only person on earth who plays that...
#save the last cherry
That last cherry shrimp trying to evade Dante's murdering spree triggered my anxiety, poor thing
Last cherry shrimp: I'm speed.
Plot twist it wasn't the last one
“Look, Dantes bubble nest” Me: Pop half of it for the massacre
Yes for the cherry shrimp
My favorite thing about bettas is how inquisitive they are. When you take out the volcano, he's fearless, and just wants to see what's going on.
Shrimp: *exist*
Dante:"Ever heard of my personal 7 hells? "
Nine. But who's really counting anyway...
i love this!
*Everyone bored at home*
Foo the flowerhorn: say no more
It’s so comforting when you’re laying in bed getting ready to phase out
The anxiety I felt for that cherry shrimp was overwhelming
imagine a super tiny submarine with a camera to explore on of these tanks
Dropped everything to watch cute lil shrimps and fish. Also, shrimp genocide.
*shrimp
Having a bad time?
The video starts with calming, peaceful music. And a cherry shrimp head.
and I thought it was poking its little head out awe too cute
.. then I realized how wrong I was
shrimp in the volcano: i saw it, there is leviathan in there
Other shrimp: nahh.... youre lying.
"And that's how the legend of leviathan begin"
-elder shrimp
Dante looks at you like, "what you gonna do about it huh? I'm not afraid of you."
Dante is terrifying. Plus the cheerful background music makes this feel like a horror movie from a shrimps perspective. I love it.
That one Cherri Shrimp was terrified for its life. Just running and hiding to the most serene music ever.
@Darkness that's a bit exaggerated, many fish exhibit similar behavior, if it'll fit in the fishes mouth they'll eat it. But betta are aggressive in that they're territorial, in larger seasons aquarium's you'll have more success keeping betta with some other fish species, and sometimes shrimp, but in nano aquariums like this its very difficult.
Cherry shrimp: exists
Dante: SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH
Expectation: relaxing aquarium video with fishes.
Reality: Horror movie
What I enjoy about this channel:
- The random nature by which it was recommended to me
- The soothing music alongside detailed aquarium maintenance
- Watching the various sea creatures living their best lives
- The comments. So many good ones
So basically everything 😀
Can we talk about the hole community of shrimps raised in darkness and fear below the volcano?! That's an apocalyptic scenario right there...
I can just imagine a short series of comics based off of this!
Polish resistance members circa 1941 colorized
BUT there was one shrimp, who defied superstition, climbed the vulcano and lived in it! (check out episode #2)
rip shrimps
"Grinding noise from the pump"
Me, knowing the shrimps hid there: *Flashbacks of when Nemo went through the pump*
Also me: *Heart Rate Intensifies*
*Red cherry shrimp
oh my god me too
@TurtlesThatFly shut up please thanks
ok kir8, very cool. Huh?
"Dante ate all the cherries in one day."
Me- Seems I have about the same level of self control as Dante the Betta Fish.
Damn this episode is so suspenseful
Me at 3am: I should probably go to bed now.
TH-cam: Volcano Filter Betta Tank
Me: Ok
Same
ME RIGHT NOW!!! seriously tho help I can’t stop
Tis be an endless loop
2:38 am
Exactly me right now.
Us: wow, how relaxing. Such nice music. That tank is so pretty.
The shrimp: OH GOD PLEASE HELP US WE ARE SWIMMING FOR OUR LIVES AAAAA *more silent shrimp screaming*
LMAO BUT WHY AM I CRYING REAL TEARS 😢
@@M_D_Y0 are u serious
HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
🤣
I like how when Dante stops swimming his fins pop out as he suddenly stops moving like if he were frozen in place
Shrimps : There is one imposter among us
TH-cam recommendations hitting the nail on the head this time.
I can’t tell you how much I don’t care about daily vlogs from people who pretend to be celebrities. But a lively fish tank with a passionate owner? That’s the kind of thing I can get behind.
These are dangerous because now I want to start a fish tank properly like this. But monies
Couldn't have said it better myself
Spitting facts
It really be Dante's Inferno in this tank. The horror!
I'm grateful my Betta fish is gentle and sweet. Never harm my cherry shrimps. He was curious at first but he did allow cherry shrimps to live in his kingdom. My heart sank for those little shrimps of yours.
Imagine being born as the Betta you are put in a cool place with no predators, lots of friends and free food
I got so scared that the pump broke because it was full of shrimp corpses.
Glad that I wasn't the only one thinking that when I heard there were shrimps living in there to begin with.
Would feeding more live little feeder keep the red Betta from annihilating the shrimp?
@@deidrecalabro5725 I suspect it might be because they're red. Makes them more of a visible target.
God me too
fax
Nobody talk about how Great his camera is?
Its like amazing in detail and clarity.
Zoom in on that hydra...
Yeah and to think... its an LG V10 from 2015
He uses clip on lenses with his phone camera
Great camera work for lg v10 and a lens
@@spencerrr9878 MAN. I swore by that phone. Bought 3 of them! One for everybody I dated, and.. ok i'll stop there.
I have no clue what I’m watching but I’m obsessed and can’t stop
Me watching 5 videos in a row🤣😭
Dante is a terrifying beauty. He's so expressive. I love your channel. Makes me wish I was knowledgeable enough to attempt a modest aquarium myself.
After the massacre by Dante
Everyone: There is no calm,Only anxiety
the shrimp that escaped from dante and died outside the tank: i won, but at what cost?
Death apparently
Hafelord you must be fun at parties
i know i'm 7 months late but "everything" said the dead shrimp.
*lets be honest, we didn't search for this but still clicked and enjoyed*
Just went through a breakup and these videos are the only thing keeping me sane. Thank you, thank you. God bless you and your work. 🙏
Lol I can’t believe I was screaming “ NOOO CHERRY RUUN!” When Dante found him Lol I was full of anxiety 🤣
Omg sameeee 😅😅
This is why i hate betas XD
I am too, I feel bad for the cherry shrimps 😣
No! Shrimpy run!
me too. i was mad with my boyfriend when i watched this ignoring him and then scream. he was like, are you really mad at me? hahaha
Dante: *spots a cherry shrimp*
cherry: why do I hear boss music?
*Devil Trigger starts playing*
The care, time and patience this person puts into doing all this omg, My boyfriend doesn’t even make me coffee in the morning
It's amazing how well you take care of your aquarium! Props to you!
Foo the flowerhorn : *Uploads
Everyone : * furiously opens new video
Yeah.
lol true but quality > quantity
Dino Bean I waited so patiently for the update 😭 time to wait another 1-2 weeks
I’ve been watching his videos over and over again I’m a big fan .. every video with detail .. please keep making new ones
These have been the most relaxing videos i have ever seen on youtube they give me such a feeling of content
There is a tale that speaks to a location above the volcano where the great red fish cannot reach, there is where we must go, some may die but that is a price we are willing to pay.
One shrimp managed to get there
Has not come down
We dont know if he is alive or dead
But...we have to reach the peak!
Twas a long and perilous journey many had fallen, but hope remained alive under the volcano of the story of the brave little shrimp that made it!!! Obe could say this story "peaked" the interest of those wishing to escape dante's inferno!!!!!
valhalla
Dante: breathes
Cherry shrimp: *SNEAK INTENSIFIES*
I just found this video after falling into a TH-cam rabbit hole. I had to say it's very tranquil I really enjoy it keep up the good work.
I felt sorry for the little cherries who only wished a better life atop the volcano, but didn't make it...
Shrimps:Gets massacred by Dante
Amano shrimps: so anyways i started *breeding*
Red cherry shrimp: inhale
Dante: what are you doing?!
I'm guessing shrimp don't really breathe do they?
I first found this channel through the first lockdown in 2020 and would stay up until 2, 3 or 4am watching these.
I never subscribed at the time and I’m not sure why.
I just spent an hour looking for this channel after something in my mind sparked a memory of this episode.
I finally found the channel again! I am so happy, like I’ve been smiling for the last fifteen minutes because I’m so pleased, like the comfort of an old friend you haven’t seen in a long time.
Watching these videos again just took me back to the summer of 2020, being so relaxed and unaware I guess? I don’t know if it could be considered sentimentality but I just got the warmest feeling thinking about my time back then and it feels so strange.
We didn't know we needed this until we clicked on it
Me: Cool Fishies
Shrimp: MURDERER. THE DEVIL HIMSELF.
That was great. I admire your patience and dedication
I absolutely love how much of a story you tell, its beautiful
Who else held their breath when that ONE cherry kept getting hounded...
National Geographic stuff right there.
I never thought I could be so invested in the red shrimps being eaten :(
I haven't seen this video yet, so I'm not commenting on it specifically right now, but I found your channel literally like an hour ago, and your channel is incredibly fascinating and extremely relaxing
I felt like I was watching Jaws with that last cherry shrimp
Dante just chill and comeback to crime scene after murdering everyone :(
Food chain can't change.....
@@loadingscreen8888 IT can give them a few generations they will be eating the betta
Some real serial killer behavior
Well Dante is kind of hybrid, i did have one of those hybrid beta and they are more aggresive.
@@sulthanarya3281 I agreed, beta's species always have unpredictable behavior
Yeah well... I never thought this would become my favorite channel 😁! I'm just so captivated !!! Great job man!!
The most relaxing video I have ever seen!
I had a little bit too much fun reading the comments.
This is why I pay for the internet
haha same
Same. Literally laughing and I’m sure my roommate is confused af at me right now
comments on his videos are gold
I swear I would NEVER have imagined that the most comedic comments I'd read in a while would have been about cherry shrimp and Dante fish committing mass murder
@Desparaged Asparagus every party needs a pooper that's why wee invited yooooou~ 🎵
It’s clear to me that this tank should officially be called Dante’s Peak
Joel Diaz Yes.
This is a really underrated comment
@Turtle thanks!
I have no idea why TH-cam recommended this channel, but I'm really glad it did 😊
Why am I so mesmerized by these videos
"Dante's inferno"
It was an inferno for the cherry shrimp lol
A good joke. 👌
Posi TV good name I was thinking that
It even has a volcano! 🌋
2:25
Last cherry shrimp alive hiding: *Wait, why do I hear boss music?*
**Jaws theme starts to play**
@@Thoticus.Prime. 😂😂
Lovely project. Well done. Very relaxing to watch.
These videos are always so relaxing
9 minutes felt like 9 hours. I feel so relaxed and completely forgot about everything else in the world whilst watching this. Thank you!!!
RRS 9 minutes wasn’t enough
If it felt like 9 hours doesn’t that mean you were bored out of your mind?
Day 9 of quarantine: I'm now antrophormizing beta fish
Kartoffel: Well he is just this shy guy who sometimes kind of overreacts, but really, he's just an introvert kind soul.
Dante: Don't wear red near him. He'll literally rip your head from your body.
He was a star trek fan and had to because you know red shirts and all!
Ch mag Kartoffeln
Theres a pretty good Chance that kartoffel would likk cherrie Shrimp also If He even attacks snails who litteraly Just alte barely moving Rocks 😅
I think this is one of the coolest videos i've ever seen
those 3 red shrimp that chose to end it on their own terms 😭
So emotional rn
DANTE, I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU HOW DARE YOU
BE QUIET TIFFANY, I MEAN DANTE
never thought i would get so much joy out of a guy who passionately films his fish tanks
I like how he cleans the tank
Gentil , calm, perfect
it's like a tank soap opera. loving the series. please continue on to season 6.
Dante: no one but me can be red.
Cherry: Dante murdered me, the filter gave away my hiding place, I wasn’t safe anywhere.
Other Shrimp: glad we are invisible, hide in plain site.
Tuxedo Cat sight*
It’s sight*
Site is like website
site is a location either virtual (web site) or physical (building site)
dante really is living through the red/fire theme with murder
That's amazing. This can be an inspiration for friends out there. I really like this friend
i first saw aquariums you have at a mall and i was absolutely smitten; they were beautiful. upon watching your videos, however, i realize that i would most likely do an awful job caring for creatures in them, so i'll live vicariously through you and the stuff you upload. glad youtube suddenly started recommending your videos to me! smashing that subscribe button
Nobody:
Baby shrimp when he sees the tweezers:
*nyoom*
Alterra all shrimp can zoom like that
Baby shrimp:
I am _speed_
That baby shrimp is now known as the flash
I don't know how this video was so intensely soothing and terrifying at the same time.
Not gonna lie but this TH-cam channel compared to others is just so relaxing and the videos are really interesting.
Your so patient with them, I would’ve moved the beta out as soon as I saw him do that
I'm not going to lie... Kinda invested now. Hope there is a part 4. We have to see the Amano eggs hatch!
Goodluck at dantes bloodthirsting ability
i wanna see the snail babbies grow!!!
They won’t. Amano eggs only hatch in brackish water
Featuring Dante from the Cherry May Cry series.
I think the same....the name of the fish its because devil may cry series and the color red
I live for these videos.... please make more. I like the relaxing music and everything about this.
