Aquascape Tutorial: Koi Betta Nano Aquarium (how to: step by step planted tank guide)
What started out as a quick planted nano tank setup for my new betta fish, quickly turned into something awesome. Sometimes it's best to throw a plan out of the window and just do whatever feels right. That's what I did with this scape and it really packs a punch as part of the nano aquarium collection.

Hey MD, i was browsing some stores online and i saw some killifish you might like. Theyre called yellow korthaus killifish. Im not sure if you can find them over in the uk or not but i figured theyre right up your alley.

I too have a Koi Betta. But most importantly, you have the prettiest eyelashes I have ever seen! Is no one else mentioning this in the comments??

I love that the fish store has the betta in an actual tank! Most of the stores in the USA keep them in these tiny (actual) cups. I wish more stores kept fewer betta fish and with better conditions. (ie with an actual heater) I have my betta in a 5 gallon and the first time I put him in he just ZOOOOMED around so happy.

I love that the fish place you got him from actually had him in a tank... these places here have them in tiny little cups. My betta is a dark blue and I just had to get him. He was so sassy at the store....I couldn't leave him so he's in my temporary 6 gallon plant nursery. He loves it but I'm building him a 20 gallon home.

I put my betta, Beetlejuice, in a planted 10-gal tank just for him. He loved it and especially loved lying on the plants and the wooden aerator I gave him, enjoying the bubbles. So cute! Your video makes me want another betta. I love seeing bettas in appropriate tanks. Yes, bettas can jump out of even a small opening! What a gorgeous tank and betta!!😍
