IMPORTANT!!! Don't use the rough side of the sponge to scrub the walls of the tank!!! In made this mistake, and now I can barely see through the plastic, because it is so scratched up!!!!

Note: you need to do 100% water changes if you do not have a filter

please post a video tutorial on doing 20-25% water changes and possibly even a filter cleaning, if you do those. these are so helpful!! i'm planning to get a betta sometime soon and i'd like to be as prepared as possible! tysm

Mine keeps pooping on plants ;;-;;

Had no idea I need a temperture control or air filter for my betta fish ..Thanx for ur video...your tank is so pretty!

My work office has a betta and only one person knows how to clean it but she hasn’t done it in over a month so the algae buildup got really bad and I made a last ditch effort to clean the tank since nobody else would do it. Gotta save the fishy lol. But anyway this video helped me so much! I was really confused by a lot of the guides I’ve looked at online and for some reason we don’t have like half the supplies we should for doing this (don’t know how she normally does it). I spent hours trying to find a simple straightforward guide and THIS. IS. IT. Lol I’m sooo glad I stumbled upon your video. Thank you so much

all your videos made my betta fishes happy 😁 thank you for this video

I just got a tank today, cycling it in preparation for Betta fish and this video helped :D

Ty I'm cleaning my fish's tank he is a red betta named skittles and he is soooo cute Edit: he is passed away and I miss him alot he lived for a very long time but don't worry guys hes now in a better place and im hoping to get another fish named chips

Scotch bright pads work soo good for fish tanks! I've been using them for years and they get even water stains off like a charm! ♥

*IMPORTANT**** You need at least a 5 gallon tank, a filter and heater for a betta!!!!!!!

I really like that tank. You should do a tank review.

i have the same hammock for my beta (his name is Ferry and I love him) but he's a brat so he doesn't use it😂😂 he also likes to lay on the moss ball that i have

Thanks so much that helped me A LOT. I'm going to be getting a Betta fish soon and I didn't know if I needed to do any thing special or not.

This was so helpful!! Thank you so much! 😊😊

So I just got a Betta fish and I've never owned one before so thank you for making this video! However I am confused on how often I should clean my bowl 100% or how to do the 50% cleaning.

I’am so so sad because there aren’t coming any videos anymore😭I love your channel so much😍Your videos have a great quality! There just awesome 👏 would be so happy if there are coming videos again💓 i always check if there are coming any new videos 😍

Great video!! I have a question could you maybe do fish supplies collection? That would be so amazing!

Not to be rude or anything, but normally if you clean your gravel every time you clean your tank it gets rid of the good bacteria. Thats how my Betta fish died, but i learnt from it.

your the best at it i think

Question: When using a brand new sponge can you use the same sponge over again? Thanks!

Can u do a vid on how to do 20% or something like that water changes?

Omg, amazing video! found a new favorite channel!

Great job. Thanks

This helped me so much becuase I am 11. I have had 3 bettas so far and my dad has helped me with them. This time I am getting one and I have to do everything for it. Your videos helped me so much ! Post more please. Love you xoxox

Thanks for that quick tutorial cutie pie! You're adorable! 💜 You

How long do I wait before adding the fish back into the tank after I add my conditioner into the water?

Very helpful video, thank you.

I've heard,and so far have found that bettas are easily trained. You can teach then for food, to play on the sides of the tank. I'm going to train mine to swim into the net himself. I'll just put it in the tank,and let it fluff up,and let him swim in. That way,it's easier for both of us,and it would be an extra kinda of bond in my opinion. Idk, I've always loved fish,and fish tanks in general,so I'm always happier when I know that they are happy too.

I do it 1 every 2 days but your blogs are so good

I love watching ur video on how to change your betta tanks :) I have a koi betta fish I love him:)

Thanks for this Vid Looks like my betta is on the right track

I’m so confused as to how you clean a fish tank. Theirs so many comments on how it messes up the cycle to clean it 100 percent? Then theirs the 25 percent if it’s filtered? How do you clean 25 percent? Do you literally get a cup and scoop it out? Do you have to take the fish out??? I don’t have a fish yet, but I plan on buying everything I need for my birthday and then later when it’s all set up I’ll buy my male Betta.

Awesome video! Very helpful!

Super helpful

How often do you change the water? (I dont have a filter)

I love that you care so much and you really knew your stuff👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤

My tank has something my fish can hide in, so it’s going to be difficult to get her into a cup. Would taking all the plants and decor out first and then removing my fish be ok?

Wow you're better than my video how to clean my betta fish

I have a one gallon for my betta fish but on December I'll be getting a 2.5. I started 2 days ago and of course I have done my research, but I want to know how much % water change I should do. I do have a filter, but sometimes I turn it off so that he can swim around more.

Very helpful. Thank you!

Hey guys my name is Meg. An American living in Taiwan and I finally figured out how to create a beta tank that doesn't need changing. All you do is top off the water and since I have done this I have had no disease nothing in my tanks have died. Been going strong for about a year and it took me 3 years to figure out how to fix the water in Taiwan If you've got a high pH you just basically let your water sit with a couple pieces of cut almond leaves like a square let it sit and then it's ready to go With this system I don't even need a filter because the plants that are in my tank feed off the almond leaves and it also feeds off the tannins that come from the Driftwood and the almond leaves Guys I'm asking for a favor could you please check out the next video I post. I'm finishing my rescaping of my fourth tank. It's my first time to have a tank where nothing dies. I did this tank with my hands and no aquascaping tools. Channel is called welcome to the wild and I'll be finishing it tonight Please look out for the Post. By the way great channel

800th like♡♡♡♡ i love your videos!!! they are very informative!

What if you have sand for the betta fish tank?

Yay ur back!

Heya! I was just wondering, do you HAVE to have water conditioner for the tank? I don't have anything like that and am about to start washing it.

Thanks for video very helpful

100% water changes won't crash your cycle, all the beneficial bacteria lives in the filter, and sometimes gravel, decor or tank walls, chlorine will kill beneficial bacteria and crash your cycle though, which is why people recommend washing decor in old tank water, this is also why it's not good to replace filter cartridges without adding a new one on top of the old one a few weeks before, when you remove the cartridge, you also remove all of the bacteria that you spent more than a month building up while cycling! 100% water changes are unnecessary and stressful for the fish, not to mention you, in a small tank you often have to change the water multiple times a week, who would want to do all that multiple times a week, especially, if you have anything more than the absolute minimum tank size, I have a few 10 gallons and they weigh 100 pounds a peice! You can just leave the betta in, turn off the filter and heater, than use a cup/turkey bastor/syphon to take out whatever percentage of the water, than make new water (add conditioner, match the temp) and poor it right in, and there you go, water change in less than 15 minutes!

So are you saying that the filter does all the cleaning and to never change the water and if you do do a 100% water change you put the water you scooped the betta fish up in the cup back into the clean water?

What is the name of the conditioner you used in the video I want to make sure I get the right kind.

How often do you clean 🧼 the tank

Would I do this if I'm being a new betta home and I have to get his cage set up

Gosh your tank so compact handy and good for small places.

Do you have to have a heater if I live in Hawaii and if you don’t have dequieter but can use bottled water

I was told not to use faucet water for anything so instead I use the gallon water you buy at the store for the tank water and to clean everything, is that fine?

I just subscribed!! I think that I am your 1001 subscriber or 1000th!!

I’ve had my 3 gallon tank for a few months now and it’s doing just fine, I have one male beta and a mystery snail. I have a white gravel so i can see it has quite a bit of gunk built up in the gravel. I use a bacteria starter when I fill up my tank or do bigger water changes, would you say it’s safe to do a 100% water change at this point?

this video was super helpful I myself do 100% water changes once a month (just because I been getting algae on one side of the tank and it looks disgusting) I wanted to start doing the weekly water changes but due to covid I have barely been able to find any spring water in stores (i prefer spring water over tap water)

Perfect video!!!

Release the Pokemon!!! I love it!!! 😆❤️❤️

Thank you

Okay.. so. I was at the mall and these people were selling betta fish in tinyyy tanks at a pop up shop that left today. Like I think less than a gallon. I had no knowledge about them and I really wanted a fish. So I bought one. I can’t really invest in a good quality tank but I’m getting and 4 gallon tank I think from target and was wondering if I have to use a filter? Or even a heater. Where I live it’s winter and gets rlly cold so I’m leaving the tank in the hottest room at night. Also I fed it 4 pellets this morning but it seems less energetic than yesterday. He is just chilling at the bottom not rllly moving. (He’s not dead) please give me some advice on what I should do!

Oh my goodness... Dying! "...and release your Pokemon!" LOL. Excellent video ~

I think it's best if you have to do a 100 percent cleaning to keep some of the cleanest water out of the tank to pour back into the tank after you have scrubbed the sides and gravel, Then he still has some of that good bacteria and a clean tank.

thanks for continuing to watch me! if you’re curious as to why i haven’t uploaded a video on over a year, check out my post! instagram: @bettawithnat twitter: @bettawithnat

In step 1 (removing the fish from the tank ), Do i need to adf chemicals in the cup before adding the fish or can i just add the fish straight away in a fresh cup of water without chemicals ???

how much water conditioner do you put pet gallon??

Love your tank! Make sure you always add a little bit more water, slows down your filter current!

I have the same tank and I've noticed the water getting unnecessarily dirty in a short period of time and my betta jumping as a result. Do you have to replace the filter pad often? Also you only wait 15 min to put your betta back in? I thought you were supposed to wait a whole day

Thank you 😊

Hi I'm getting a betta fish soon and your videos are really helpful xx how often do you do 100% water changes? And is a 6 gallon enough?

I have a 5 gallon tank for my betta and a heater but no filter. How often should I clean the tank and should I do 100%?

Im planning on getting this tank but im not sure what im going to do about the filter. I have an awesome looking red and blue halfmoon and i dont want to risk his fins being ripped. what to do, what to do...

I have that same water conditioner. I’m jsut wondering how long should I wait till I put my beta fish in??

I'm getting a Betta fish soon and I have a question, is the gravel necessarily needed to be made of rocks?

what filter do you use?

Hey there! Recently discovered your channel and can I just say I am in LOVE! I did regretfully had my Betta in a bowl for a while however I just got a tank the other day, woo hoo!! However I noticed your Betta doesn't seem to struggle as much with the filter as my Betta does. My filter seems to be creating kind of like a current and my fish really struggles to swim in the area where the water is coming out. Is there a certain trick to it? Does the water level effect it? Is it just my tank? If you could help me out in any way shape or form that'd be really awesome!!

i don't have a filter getting a gravel cleaning and doing 25% water changes every week will help out and yes you should keep some of the old water you beta can die is there is completely new water to it,your beta is already used to its water that it was in. is your tank gets cloudy and is "dirty" some of that bacteria is good when you do a 25% water change make sure to add the water slowly and gently because if you will disturb the good bacteria I recommend using a gravel cleaning kit if you don't have a filter.

How often do you clean the tank I clean my weekly and he is at the bottom of the tank a lot when I clean my tank I put him back in same time i dont put any treatment in my tank.

Do you fill it all with tap water

You helped out alor

Now I finally know that i keep changing the water the way WRONG!!!!! :D

Great videos! I sub right away

Can you just use bottle water instead of tap?

hi so recently I just got a beta fish which was yesterday and I want to know how to clean the tank not as a hundred percent as a 25% so you said not to really clean the tank a hundred percent all the time so I'm just wondering how would I not clean the tank 100% of the time.. do I just scoop out the stuff that's in there with a little scooper and then sort of add a little bit of new or water and conditioner?

I named it rainbow 🌈,because he is so look pretty!

How do you clean a no filter tank?

Her room looks so cute 😭

Do you ever need new filter Cartridges and if you do how do you know when to change them

i don’t have a filter, how often should i be completely water changing my tank? ( i have three female betta fish in one tank )

I just got a betta fish and my mom said that the water has to accumulate for 24hours and I have a filter so I'm confused if I need to let it accumulate that long?

whtat kind of tank do you have// what is that on ur sponge cause i heard that the flow on those tank are strong,what is that clear tube,where is the thernominter from,what kind of betta is urs

k so I have ONE BIG concern and that is if you just showered and used soap obviously, will it harm my betta fish if I feed it since i just showered.

thx

hi natalie! your videos have been SOOO helpful to me! but i was just wondering if i should change my cartridge filter or not? the tank i got only came with one but told me to change it out every 3 to 4 weeks because it will get dirty..... Do you have any advice or ideas on what to do?
