Mist Dripwall Betta Paludarium

Last year I made the all-in-one betta aquascape. I really enjoyed that project and the inhabitants it housed. A few weeks back though, the betta it was built for (Ellie) decided to jump out. After that, we no longer wanted to keep the tank around. So, I moved the other inhabitants into their own tank.
I knew we'd get my wife another betta, but I didn't intend for it to be this soon. One thing led to another and I found a fish that I knew she'd love. Here's how I made a paludarium for her new fish.
The aquarium, crypt plants, and fava ferns were provided by Flip Aquatics.

I knew that I had to make a paludarium this time around for my wife's new betta. What do you think of the project and Mia? I've never seen a betta that looks quite like her. Also, what's your favorite pizza? 🍕😉

PLEASE give us a whole SERIES even on which plants work best in which environments and also how to select the appropriate hardscape materials! I know there's certain trees and rocks that shouldn't be submerged but it's hard to find out with Google unless you know what to google and the internet seems opposed to giving a truly comprehensive list for anything. I think comprehensive videos on what plants and materials would be great for whenever you're in a project rut or it's just want to make something different and they would help those of us who want to start but still are too worried about what we don't know (to be fair that could just be me). Anyways love you Tanner! Hope you and all your critters are doing well!

I second this! I have both a 30 gal tank and a 10 gal tank that I would love to turn into paludariums, but I don't even know where to start (No fish, I hate fish, but I'd like some little shrimpies or something similar just to give it a little extra "life" without being a ton of work once it's up and running)

I would love to learn more about how to choose waterline plants, I have seen such interesting behaviour with my fish when they have a "shore line" so to speak, or an overhang. Would love to be able to break it up with more plants but it's hard to find information online, a video on your decades of experience would be invaluable 😍🤣

@BioTechproject27 2 жыл бұрын

Technically you can use almost all aquarium plants, since they are almost all swamp type plants (some eclusions apply, like blyxia japonica, which only has a submersed form). So most can grow under and above water, thus they can break that line. (for example use mosses lile weeping moss, or taxiphyllum types, or plants like hydrocotyle tripartita/hydrocotyle sp. japan/hydrocotyle verticillata or utricularia gramminifolia [a carnivore, but harmless and doesn't grow traps with the normal amount of nutrients; also has beautiful flowers when emersed] as vine-type plants that grow downwards into the water, or basically every stem plant to grow out of water, or things like cryptocoryne, anubias, microsorum or echinodorus species)

Fish jumping is a natural occurrence when they are interacting with each other so consider putting on a lid with little holes in it to keep them from getting out. It doesn’t always look good but it will save their life so good trade off.

@British_Bastard 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, it’s also good to have floaters and a lower water level

@CadenceMcKay 8 ай бұрын

Lids are a MUST..you have to think about safety over esthetic. A beautiful tank is amazing but you MUST think about the "what if" scenarios that can come up. Fish jump...sometimes even if they feel completely comfortable in the set up..that's why lids are needed.

I tried to search for a patreon or some other way to donate to you but you don't seem to have anything besides your merch, is there a method I overlooked or are you perhaps thinking of something like that?

@Soldier4USA2005 2 жыл бұрын

Great video. I'm not sure how detailed you've gotten into it in the past, but maybe you should do a mini-series about the technical aspect of typical tank you've made. Ranging from simple to the most ambitious. What I mean by that is explaining each "layer" of filtration, nutrient creation, PH balancing, and so forth with regards to each part of the tank. The filters, the moss, the plants, the sub-strait, etc., and how it all works together so we have a better understand as to the WHY you do certain things and not others.

it is true about each betta being completely different personality wise i had two not too long ago - separate tanks of course - and one of them was very nippy with his tank mates and would chase them around if they annoyed him too much, while the other was super friendly and downright inquistive. If he saw you coming near the tank, he would spend most of the time at the glass watching you, watching everything you did
