Finally someone who doesn't put their fish in a tiny tank or a *gulp* bowl.
Ikr!
Whats a gulp bowl?
@@PouchyTheCanadianAlpaca just a fish bowl
I think a white/opal betta would be so cool! It’d look like a little ethereal fairy or spirit!
I agree!!! A white one would be beautiful!
I used to have a white opal betta
At the end you talking about snails!! I would love to see I’ve always been curious
I love the way you decorated it! Such a fantasy style!
I used to have snails with my betta fish in the past. They’re really cool to watch!
I love snails I didn't think of putting them in with the betta♥️
@@unknownhuman5873 yeah, they go around eating the stuff on the side of the tank! It’s cool to watch.
Had a like a red/violet betafish when I was little, he lived for 5yrs, still remember how much I loved him haha 🥺 // fan from Sweden (follow all of your channels and am obssessed, I have tons of pets at home as well so this channel is really my type haha)
I got so excited when you started talking about snails! I have a blue mystery snail and a few land snails currently. I love them 🐌❤️
I kind of want snails!!!!💚💜
Even though I don't fully agree with the setup mainly because of the artificial decorations I still like the way you described everything. You mentioned a lot of important points like cycling, getting the right heater and so on, so thank you for the inspiration. :)
Corydoras are super cute Betta tank mates! They're so much fun to watch and with the cories at the bottom and Betta at the top of the tank it keeps both sections of the tank active. :)
I'm setting up a new 20 gallon tank as well! I currently have a 40 gallon and a 10 gallon. I love watching your videos, they're so calming lol :)
I'm so glad you're getting back into fishkeeping, hope you enjoy it 🤗 wish you all the best
Your tank turned out beautiful!! Can’t wait to see what fish you get!
Betta fish actually like a low light so the light coming with the aquarium looks perfect!
aaaaa i'm actually getting my first ever pet snail in june!! im so excited!!! ive never really been that interested in terrariums but ive always wanted a snail
Absolutely stunning 😍 I can't wait to go along this journey with you ❤
I have a 5 gallon tank with a Betta and 2 snails in it. I have a 10 gallon I want to eventually set up for a full real planted tank but I can’t in the apartment I have right now. The snails are great as tank mates cause they also clean the tank for you. My betta likes to chase them around the tank or when they are not doing much he likes to flare at them but he does not harm them in anyway
Your tank turned out great! I really appreciate the aesthetic!
Cute Alyssa! I’m exited for your new little friend! I say this every time but thank you for being a responsible animal owner who truly cares and trying to spread positivity and love 💕
Wow thank you for the heart Alyssa! You give me one every time! I really do look up to you!
You should get a white beta fish. It would make the tank look soo much more beautiful and vibrant.
The tank is absolutely stunning 😍 🤩 I love it 🥰 I can’t wait to see the fish in it!
Love the tank set up, it looks awesome :) I've been keeping betta fish for a few years now and have never had much luck with mystery snails, but I know plenty of other people have. I've had shrimp with my betta fish and I think they are a good tank mate because they stay out of the bettas way. Just my personal opinion! Can't wait to see what you decide to get!!
You should do either pink orange and yellow color options for the betta fish
I’ve been watching snail videos too I want some land snails they are cool!!!!
❤️💙💜❤️💙💜
That sucks the original tank you bought was incomplete. But now you have a bigger one for all your cool decor!
Love your tank setup. I too have my two tanks in my kitchen. My babies are very happy. Try getting a calico Plakat. You would have a betta with blue fins, well as patches of red and black on white. 🐟
if budget allows I would go for a platinum or white betta in there I think it would go really nice in that tank! also maybe a female koi would be stunning! but at the end of the day, every betta is beautiful! though i would recommend a shortfin as they tend to live longer and are bred better
It's so pretty omg love
Wow didn't really know this could also happen.. thanks for sharing
Very informative
Awesome tank! 🐟 Yay for upcoming snail 🐌 content! Love & support. 💙
I was about to ask what kind of cage do your farret's have but that's when I realized that you don't have farrets 😂
Love the tank, looks awesome
Love it , so beautiful!!!!!
THE COLOR PURPLE WOULD BE IMMACULATE 👍🏽
I love the tank! Some snails could be cool tankmates I think!
Blue betta fish are so pretty!
My personal favorites are the alien bettas they're a hybrid and so beautiful, you could also do a sorority in a 20 if you added more plants, as for tank mates shrimp, Cory cats, Ottos, rasboras, ember tetras, danios all tend to do well with bettas
I want to do a Betta Sorority looking into a good 20 Gallon kit that is good for Bettas and Live plants definitely want to do a planted tank.
@@marytwinflamessoulfamunite7102 my one sorority is in the 29gal top fin essentials kit and it's worked really well for me I have low light plants so I just kept the leds that came with the tank and I have the fluval stratum for my substrate you just have to be careful with that cause it lowers pH but some natural rock can balance it out
@@sharongrey6920 thank you so much this is really helpful and I didn't realize the Fluval Stratum Substrate lowered the PH I've been looking into that Substrate and Seachem Flourite and Carib Sea Eco Complete for substrates Fluval Stratum is a bit to expensive for me when it comes to having enough to fill a couple 20 Gallon Tanks and at least 1 10 Gallon Tank I plan on having a guppy tank as well the 10 Gallon is mainly going to be for Fry or for a Hospital/ Quarantine Tank haven't decided exactly what I'm doing with the 10 Gallon yet
This Tank looks amazing
Your aquarium turned out awesome
The tank looks amazing, I can’t wait to see the beta in it!
My betta lives very peacefully with a school of rummy-nose tetras :3 if you like blue have a look at a mustard gas or a blue edge, they're very striking!
Long finned koi betta 😍🖤 if I were you I would add the friends in first and then the betta, just to ensure the betta won’t get angry and territorial but I’ve also done it the other way and it went well lol. We have a HUGE mystery snail named Gary and my betta loves him, but I have seen videos where their betta constantly attacked the big snails tenticals lol
Blood red beta fish would look awesome
hi!a little recommendation.maybe add some soil and plant some real plants and add some substrate or sand and rocks and like driftwood to add the natural feeling!but live it
I did add soil and real plants...
@@AlyssaNPets oh I’m really sorry I did not think it was real plants but ur doing really good and ur betta must be very happy!
When are you gonna get your fish? (I know there is a cycling process but I’m just so excited for that video!)
I feel like a super bright red or blue fish would look great and very fantasy! Or maybe (and i know these arent as common) a white betta fish! I feel like that would look stunning compared to all the bright colors of the tank!
Man, this really makes me miss my betta, Winston. He passed away earlier this year. He was the calmest little thing, to the point he actually lived with a small group of guppies. He had a log that he'd sleep inside of, and every morning he'd kiss the tank when I woke up
Took us 2months to cycle. May take longer than 2-3wks but i appreciate you mentioning it! :)
You could get Cory catfish as well. They’re great betta tank mates!💙😊
Be careful on the decoration because stuff too sharp and bumpy and cut their fins. Nothing in the setup looks horrible, but I would be cautious of some of those things.
Your tank looks great. Can’t wait to see the fish you choose.
do a betta sorority tank!! i have a 20 gallon as my sorority tank
Love your vids ❤️
Definitely get a single amono shrimp they’re like the best betta tank mate IMO
Pretty sure you can put the gravel over the fuval substrate
Out of topic, but I love the watch band where did you get it. Love all your videos by the way .
I got neon tetras (no the glo ones lol) they school and my betta did not bother them :)
I shaved mine too :) you look gorgeous
White or translucent blueish betta 😍❤️
Put the lid through the bottom I had the same problem with my tank for my betta
Put in tank a red dragon betta(longtail)
Hello! My question is that tank black glass i mean darker than the others ??? Thx
Do you have a link to the light you ordered?
What's the new light you got ?
Loooove your channel!!!
Can someone tell me what the plate when pouring water was for? Is it so it doesn't splash? Neat idea.
Get a Koi betta!! They’re gorgeous and have amazing colors
Actually, I don’t like plastic decorations, but you really made it look soooo pretty! 😍😍
The beta I had would look beautiful in that tank. He was an opal beta
What is a good website that sales betta fish?
I have a five gallon tank for my one white and blue male betta fish he is so beautiful and I have a tank mate with him!! A snail named turbo and now I have two new additions because I didn’t know snails were hermaphrodites!
I see Harmony the swan in the background! I have her as well 😍
That really sucks they didn't send all of the stuff with the Fluval flex. I have the 15-gallon version and the light is really nice! I've had it set up with fish and plants for over 3 years now! I'm excited about your 20-gallon tho!
Looks so cool
You could try a small sorority!!!!
where do you buy bettas online?!!!
I’ve been struggling to cycle my tank because I’ve been wanting to get an axolotl and I’ve been at it for months I’ve even called up local pet stores and fish stores for help and they’ve told me all the same information I’ve looked up online and I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong so some help would be appreciated!
What camera did you use for this video? It looks so crisp 👏
Something I noticed when returning defective fixtures to Home Depot, was that they are all too willing to put incomplete products back on the shelf for someone else to get stuck with. I gross them out about this and try to make sure they are returned to the manufacturer, but I'm sure they end up on the shelf, so I put a note inside addressed to "The next buyer!"
Fish For Thought put his betta in with some shrimp and she murdered them all, so that might not be the best option. 😅 Generally it seems like it depends on the personality of the individual betta and it's better to not risk putting one in with anything but snails (they just don't like, need or want other tank mates).
Also I'm just imagining him shuddering over the artificial decor 😂 but it looks so pretty, and I think it will look even better once the plants grow out more. 😊
Bit late on this vid :( but I can't wait!!!! Do u have any name ideas?
You should get a purple betta!!
Looks awesome
Such a shame your flex tank didn’t come with all their components, it’s truly an amazing tank with awesome lights and top notch filtration. I would definitely contact fluval to try to buy those parts separately if possible. Way better lights and way better filtration system than the top fin tank.
I had a Betta named Zuko. He sadly passed away.
I have a beta in a 20 gallon long with some tank mates, and I have the same light you do!!
What tank mates do you have?
@@AlyssaNPets do you know how many gallons are recommended per fish? Thanks!
I have neon tetras and shrimp!
@@mrsfulkerson8537 you can never put more than one betta together in a tank under 40 gallons. With 40+ gallons you can have 5-6 FEMALE bettas. Otherwise they'll kill each other. You could get different fish as tank mates, but please make sure you research beforehand. I recommend joining the betta fish subreddit. There are lots of experienced betta fish keepers on there.
Looks for royal blue/super red/super yellow/super black/butterfly/super gold(maybe a little expensive) and many more.the long tails usually called halfmoon but it had so many variety of tails..the short fin called plakad.(sorry for bad English) I'm a breeder myself.😀
I love beta fish and so exited for yours!!! So happy for your soon to be fish you will treat them great
So excited to see the tank I also have a fish it’s light blue and has dark blue stripes
Wow so a beauty 😊.
I named my betta fish Azul Is Blue in spanish and that’s what I name it. And My other is Freya And that means strawberry in spanish
Are you in the FB group, Land Snail Enthusiast: USA ?
So good!
Looking forward to snail content. 💛
I don’t have Facebook :)
Your tank set up is so stunning and ethereal. I love how you incorporated the trippy artificial plants with the real ones. If you want to replace the charcoal filter, you could always buy an aquarium sponge and cut it to fit the filter space- they have plenty of surface area to cultivate the beneficial bacteria. I also noticed it looks like you have a little bit of algae growing on some of the decor. If this is a problem, I'd suggest lowering the light levels while the bigger plants establish themselves. I have a 5 gal for my betta with some live plants, and I have a pretty small LED light on a timer for 8 hours a day, and so far I haven't had issues with algae. Overall BEAUTIFUL, thoughtful setup and I'm excited to see what fish you end up with!
The “algae” is fake algae lol. The decor makes it look like it’s real
@@AlyssaNPets 😂 It got me
Yay, it looks amazing! I love it, I hate when I get sent the wrong products 😆
Blues teals and Red and blue I'd look into a Female Sorority tank you can have upto 5 Females and that's the minumum recommended number for a Betta Sorority I'd definitely recommend doing more research I person really love Veil talls crown tails and the halfmoon tailed bettas
Do you plan on keeping any insects in the future? I really want to get a praying mantis! And unrelated, but I’m thinking about getting snails as well.
Me too!!
I have a bad fear of bugs lol so maybe one day I will to try and get over my fear
be careful with tankmates for betta. assess the temperament of your fish. one of my bettas was totally fine with snails and shrimp, but one of mine is so aggressive i cant even walk past the tank without him flipping his gills out. good luck!
I always heard beta fish don't do well w other fish, any thoughts on this? My beta I got was purple and blue he was gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️
actually betta fish go with a lot of other fish and will get along with many tank mates like shrimp, loaches and many others.
@@helennyquistoforo4122 that's awesome. Thanks for this information I was always wondering if it was just false info so I appreciate it
Fish For Thought has lot of really good advice/videos about tank mates and betas too. :)
ive found that it really just depends on each individual fish. one of bettas in the past was super chill and i had shrimp and a snail with him no problem. but my current betta is so aggressive that every time he sees me he flips his gills out.
Find a pink one
You could always make the fluval tank into a plant terrarium?
Yes I could but since I’m getting snails I would have to make the tank safe for snails ❤️ it was just easier to get something for snails
@@AlyssaNPets this is true, well hopefully you can find another use for it 😊
I have Betta fish and guinea pigs too 😮❤😍🥰
