That was so cool
How did you get the new root system after you cut the bamboo the ones you planted had new growth of roots
czcams.com/video/ja1FVE9L31w/video.html
Sure dude. You have to tell us about your camera and setup..
Regis Aquatics can you upload a video cleaning this tank
I love that the fish gets a 30 mins acclimation period, while the snails just get YEET
🤣
LMFAO I choked on my water reading this comment 💀😭😂
Thou cannot yeet that which has been previously been yote
LMAO
@@nicholasjaworski9368 fax
Always nice to see a spoilt Betta after so many get mistreated.
Agreed and affirmed
Yes I love it too ❤️
@@monajo855 not really lol
M J for the 5 minutes before he’s eaten...
I KNOW, my little cousins have one that lives in a bowl the size of a cereal bowl, with no plants or anything
I have a red betta just like this and he lives with a snail. It's hard to find any live aquarium plants in the country where I live, but he's got a pretty big tank and some rocks from the Black Sea in there. I guess it's minimalist, but when we move to the US I'm going to follow your steps and set him up a paradise. (Apparently pet fish can fly with you, and I'd never leave him behind)
Seriously? How? I’m moving out of my country and I want to take my betta
@@pastelshrimp3106 I checked online about it. You can take the fish in a completely spill-proof container. I would call the airline and make sure they know to expect your fish. It can travel about 48 hours and be okay, from what I've read.
@@pastelshrimp3106 You need to get heating pads so your betta doesn’t die fyi
@@amysanchez3699 OMG THANK U!
@@adoreyou7449 thanks!
Stunning set up - but can w talk about the bag trick when you first poured in your water?!?? GENIUS
I did the Bag trick when I was 8 years old.. just want to share with you 😊
I mean it's recycling
It says on my substrate bags to use the bag to not upset it. Like it’s in the instructions lol
Maaaan!👌🏾
common trick bro
The snail to the left is like " Excuse me, Sir, but I have some glass to clean. I bid you good day, Sir."
Jaja un lindo caracol.
Snails can be quite inconsiderate. I embrace the bladder snails in my tanks, but at any given time I can find at least one poor snail with no less than 3 other snails riding him in each of my tanks.
Should I put snails in my betta tank? I’m starting up my first planted tank and I don’t know it I should or not
Ok
@@taylor.annalise1 Depends. Although they may not require as much care as fish, they still do poop, despite people thinking they clean the tank of poop. If you’re looking for tank mates, it’s fine. If you can afford to take care so many lives, it’s fine. However, they reproduce very quickly, if you’re going to get them then you should prepare your heart to cull them if necessary. You should make sure your betta isn’t really aggressive or likes eating/fighting snails, because if it manages to kill one, not only will you now have dead snails but a maybe sick betta (because of the shell if they somehow try to eat it and stress). Make sure your snails don’t stress out your betta and make sure to clean the snails’ poop too. Snails are very cute, helpful and annoying, so while they do improve your tanks’ looks and health, they can also be a nuisance because they breed too much. Don’t be surprised if you find snails all over your house, your couch, your desk, almost anything (an exaggeration but you know what I mean)!
Quality tank! Dang that’s a paradise for a lone male betta.
@Swadeled _AMV that’s what I wonder too tbh sometimes. But the betta seems to look content as far as what’s shown in his videos.
True
Chee Nou Lo who knows he actually so sad being separated from his family? Who knows he might only has a father back then in his home, whom now worried sick where did his son go and never come back? Oh gosh, now i am imagining his father searching for him like martin searched for nemo and i am feeling so sad 🥺🥺
@@MsNovazz uhm...this is a betta fish lol.
Chee Nou Lo so he doesnt has a father? 🥺
First you CUT The bamboo's With their roots and when you are planting them The roots apear magically again ?
Bamboo tanks seems so fancy! It is a nice home to our fishes and very pretty to decorate a house!
- Isabel
Make a video about how to maintain the tank like cleaning or changing water or something
Will do! Next update video will include complete maintenance!
Would love to see that vid also. Always wonder about the maintenance.
This is good content, I hope there's an update to it on it's status and also the maintenance
@@RegisAquatics how much did you cost for the whole set up??????
Anyone please replay..
WOW, you did an amazing job!!!
It looks like a mini rainforest.
Man for some reason watching this is very therapeutic for me idk why I feel super relaxed
Same omg
After I saw this video, I got inspired and I made a 40 gallon bamboo aquarium. Thank you ❤️
@Jayesh Dabhi Gift shops pe mil jata hai, online mil jata hai, normal bamboo se alag hota hai.
I’m going to do a five gallon for my one beta. 😮
@@barbarafaulder9087 10 is better for them to be happy.
@@barbarafaulder9087 i wished someone told me that before i bought my first 3 gallon fish tank. but i upgraded to 10.5 gallon.
I love my lucky bamboo plant and I think a naturalistic beta setup would be awesome. Looking forward to this video!
Beyond incredible . Damn amazing . That's one lucky betta . Never thought I'd envy a fish that much ❤️
I love these videos. School has just been so stressful and it's been giving me a lot of anxiety, but watching videos like these calm me down and make me feel happy. I just got betta fish a few days ago too! They're double tail halfmoon plakats, so cute! But the breeder won't ship them out till next month, which is fine with me. I look forward to preparing their tanks while I wait for them 🥰❤️
any updates on the fish? 👀
Have you decided if you're using plants?
My son and his grandma just set up a tank together and she used her pothos from her collection. He absolutely loves it too compared to his plastic cup home at the store :( he will dive into the roots and just hang out then swim away and explore
I feel you, I’m in the same situation and I very recently got my beta sswell, he’s a dragon scale male and so pretty!
Watching the the man works on the tank and the fish being so relaxed is so relaxing
Love how the tank turned out. It looks amazing.
Thanks!
VERY beautifully set up looks tooooo good
FEELS LIKE I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO AND LIVE IN THERE!!!
I WISH I TO HAD THE SAME LOOKING HOME!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous! And the red betta fits his tank well!
omg I have no words to explain about this beautiful aquarium, definitely the fish always feel safe in such environment and then lay eggs too because it feels like home to them, totally natural look
So peaceful to watch. The tank looks beautiful
I got lost in this video 😂😂 the music n editing is so calm n clean
This is beautiful!! This is the set up I didn’t even know I needed. I love it. Now I’m inspired to finally get a tank.
Fish attacking on centipede life feed😱watch it
czcams.com/users/shortsu96JSms_TXs?feature=share
Wow, that is quite an impressive little ecosystem! I have never seen anything like this before.
I love how u put those little plants!
Looks really nice. I need to do that to some of my tanks.
This bamboo always make the surrounding looks pretty...good choice!
The tank looks freat. Wish they wouldn't fight so we could put at least 3 of them in the same tank cause they're so pretty
Edit: great*
You could put multiply females I there or even a few guppies
@@jk_2023. But they are not beautiful like male betta
Yup, i agree, but sadly that is impossible
@@Bread-nr1sj i think it's possible when they are siblings
@@frueeri- and raised together in same tank since birth but still it's a bet
So creative. Love that jazzy song midway through. Took me into a zone.
Awesome build!!! This is when I believe I will do! Thank you for sharing! 👍🌿🐟🌱🙏
That looks so amazing! It's green and simple, love it.
Thank you for listig all the plants that were used!
I once had a blind betta in a bamboo cube and he built a bubble nest around the bamboo edge. And from what I've been told they have to feel happy to build the bubble nest.
Bubble nest does not equal happy, it's just a sign that they're ready to fuck
Over the years I've seen bubble nests floating in a 5 gal container also.
Es porque quieren aparearse
Hello from Russia!
Very nice work!
👍👍👍
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Very pretty set up and fulfilling to see a betta fish get such a wonderful home
*this video is so beautiful and inspiring, it's a therapy to watch it* 💚💚
Come back to this video about 20x now, using this as inspiration for my first tank starting out in the hobby
back again. just set up my first solo betta tank
Awesome tank !!!! Betta is probably in paradise... Will most likely live many years. Thanks for sharing.
Very, very nice!
You're giving your betta a very comfortable home.
Thank you for sharing this nice idea!
Çok güzel olmuş
This is a beautiful tank by the way, I love heavily planted tanks, I have several in my tank
can never go wrong with beta :) . Love the snails too even thought sometimes they tend to get out of hand. Good job
Thanks!
Really well done! Also that moment when you realize they were planting with scissors........ serious props.
That Lo-Fi music is vibin 👍
This is super cool you definitely gave me inspiration for my next Betta tank!
Very professional work, and the results are simply beautiful.
Brought much happiness and joy could feel the love thank you
Loved this. Very relaxing, and beautiful
Amazing work! Keep it up..Your Betta and the snails will surely enjoy their home....
Congrats, dear red Betta 🐟🐌
So cool and relaxing tank for Betta.♥️
Sooooooooo pretty. It's so relaxing to have fish. When I grow up I'm gonna have atleast 100 fish tanks for different fish ☺☺ it's my biggest dream.
What a beautiful aquatic scape!
Nice set up! The red betta really stands out in there. I have heteranthera zosterifolia in my rio 180. It grows so fast, it's one of my new favourite plants
Thanks! It’s one of my favorites too!
Is it good I might buy one for saltwater I really want to know what it’s like
The tank of course
@@bigchungus3692 Juwel rio 180? Yes I like it, seems pretty good so far.
@@bigchungus3692 sir I got a bamboo plant and a turtle tub outside do you think I can plant it?
Cool tank! Its very nature themed i like that
Beautiful, the snails are pretty beauty
I like the approach you took with adding the water atop the sand. Never seen or thought of this method.
Me: *wants to have one to be closer to nature*
Also me: *lives 60 feet from the forest*
czcams.com/video/klGi_WZ17U0/video.html
Same and got 3 tanks yet 20 feet from a swamp.
Me also
There is a forest that doesn't even measure 1 kilometer near my home tho ☹️
Omg 😍This video🧘♀️ is relaxing, I love it, thanks to the author
The way u put the water was fascinating and genius
Very pleasing to watch, 6-stars home for the beta 👍👍👍
Wow, that's the same Betta and pattern I have x)
Muy bien hecho y explicado. Te felicitó, te quedo hermoso.
Absolutely gorgeous ! 🥰
Absolutely a wonderful and beautiful job.
The bag trick was cool so the bottom wasnt disturbed.
I love bettas.
I've heard lucky bamboo does a great job at helping keep the water clean and reducing the need for water changes.
Definitely!
I heard someone say it can be bad for fish.
Beautiful setting looks so natural
Lovely 💐💖 I am gonna adopt this 🤩 for my entrance.
Great going God Bless
What a beautiful forest for your betta! 👍 subscribed!
Its beautiful! Keep up the great videos!!
💖 touching and I love this scenary 🙏
so nice that betta fish have this great environment to be living its life as pet.
Love how he instantly checked out the Nerites
Wonderful, I was immediately inspired for my Africa Aquarium ... Thank you
Hi, whats an African aquarium?
@@pintopinto9901 my perch come from a lake with a lot of reeds or bamboo ...
@@marlisroth4269 merch or perch...
@@soumenmaiti5131 Barsch - perch - something like malawi or tanganyika ... :o)
Lovely water forest tank. Would love to have one. Watching it everyday would be so relaxing. Great wishes from India
Hello my friend! I love your project, but I have a question, how do you make the maintenance for this wonderful aquarium?
I remember owning a blue male betta,he was beautiful.
Too bad he is gone..
Gone for what reason?
Well, he passed away😅
Google global truth project and click "The Present" tab to see the truth about life/death in four pages
I have a blue one now. His name is Petey Peterson
@@unholyalmond thats a really nice name, mine was Victor,but he is gone😅
thanks for placing real plants and I like that snail options.
This is such a beautiful aquarium
Lindo aquário, adoro
This video was great! I Love betta fish, and your tank is like a dream. I totally like your style, lots of real plants 😀( I hate the fake 😠) and Good stuff, no plastic or such bad. I love my betta so so much, hes a part of my family. I keep him in a 54 liters tank with a good warm pump, lots of plants and smaller rocks at the bottom and two algae eaters för some Company. My sister has a tank with two betta females, soon we will have some betta-fry (fish babies) again, loved the vid! 👍
This guy deserves all the bettas in the world for giving them good homes and breeding
Omg I love the fish it's soo cute and the tank is sooo naturey aww
The good kind of simple. :)
So jealous. I have a few tanks with plants and just started my first tank with sand. I really want to do something like this, Heavily planted, but man this is nice
Beautiful set up and I love your aquarium ❤
Very BEAUTIFUL Regis Aquariums !!! 💙😎
You really have talent, so nice😊
Uau uma obra de arte!!!
Super tank setup !
Literally cannot wait to start a new tank I'm definitely using sand, soil, and real plants. So excited
Beautiful! Congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
Wow! This is amazing. Must be a lot of work to maintain this ecosystem at the beginning !? 😍
love the natural look!
Absolutamente maravilhoso! Beta lindo e feliz!
That betta looks so blissed out in that tank! I love it. I have a cat so I need to have a lid on mine, otherwise I'd love to put lucky bamboo in my beta tank as well.
lucky bamboo is also toxic to cats, so please be careful if you do end up finding a way to have some in your tank to keep it out of the way of your feline friend! (not to assume you don’t already know this :))
@@giraffevacuum Thanks for the tip; I didn't know that!
You have the lights in the description, but where are they on the actual build? Seems like the bamboo may conflict with it, how did you work around that?
WOW!!!! JUST WOW !!! Im will build this too thank u!
I’m very impressed with this one. What light level do you use for all of these plants? I wanted to put a bamboo shoot in a future tank and didn’t know if it would be compatible with any other plants :)
I used medium lighting for this tank. Bamboo doesnt like high light so use medium to low light plants
Lucky bamboo is not really a bamboo
@@RegisAquatics de
@@RegisAquatics don't the roots get chocked? I'm worried if mine can last that long in sand
