    Hi everyone. Weeeeehelcome back and I hope you are having a great day 😊. Something very different from what I've done before using new methods regarding the house plant and converting to an aquatic environment. I love how it turned out and it's very simple to do as well.

    You’re an awesome designer. That tank would look great in anyone’s home and it’s a beautiful home for that beta. I remember my first aquarium as a kid , and I had a red beta with swordtails and Angel fish. My swordfish had babies the very first day I had them, and the beta hunted every last one of them😯 I grew very attached to that little fish because I had to rescue him a few times off the floor . I guess we didn’t have a top at first. That was quite an adventure for a little boy(:

    Just stunning. 😢 Warms my heart each and every time I see a beta going to a healthy, spacious, CYCLED home. A beta rescued from an Asian dollar store was my intro into the hobby, and I learned so much from that exper. We wanted to do everything right so, despite him being the only fish in my Fluval tank, I bought an API water kit, Prime conditioner, etc. And continued to read, and read, scour forums, etc. And one day I hope to finally try my hand at a low tech planted tank. My bettas have since passed, but I will always hold.a.soft I spot for.them.

    You made this so enjoyable! Someone gave me a goldfish just few days ago and I don’t like plastic stuff in his aquarium and I want to give him a nice natural I possibly can, I was worried how to do it and care for the plants. How you did made everything looks so easy and doable for dummy like me. I really look forward to see more of your work ♥️♥️♥️

    I have a very similar setup that is around 1 year old. The Lily does great on this condition, the roots look amazing when they start growing and my betta loves to hide between them. With time, you can even remove the Anubias and let the Lily roots take over
    But, with your lighting configuration, the Lily will grow twisted to the light side, and will look quite ugly and may even become unstable and unroot itself. I strongly suggest to put another light on the other side, or put it centered above the Lily.
    I made the mistake to put only one centered lamp and my Lily on the corner of the tank, and now my Lily looks strange and unhealthy...

    • @MDFishTanks
      @MDFishTanks  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      the other side has a huge light from another aquarium. I just kept it off for the video as it was too much. The two should hopefully balance out but if not I will add another desk lamp :)

  • @floatingpeaks4584

    Good point about a heater. Most tropical fish tanks if kept in a heated room don't require an aquarium heater.
    I turned mine off about a year ago and the fish have been fine. Some fish like discus do require a higher temp so please check fish requirements before turning off your heater.
    Ever see heater in tanks of most aquarium shops?

    • @MaeveLaRenarde
      @MaeveLaRenarde 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      While they like being tight in their pot, if it gets thirsty ridiculously fast, you may consider upgrading its pot juuuuust a bit. Sometimes it just doesn't have enough soil left to keep water. If it's not tight, give it a shower (or like submerge the container) for 10/15 minutes in lukewarm water once a week. ♥️
