The moss bridge and the floating moss balls are in one of my tall nano tanks. They are starting to grow fuller. I really like them. I have quite a few nano tanks along with my larger tanks. I enjoy having a mix of tank sizes. Thanks for the video.

To be honest I really love the length of this tank. Its not always about how much water is inside, its about how long and wide the tank actually is. Fish mostly go back and forth, not up and down. Yes they do that too but more space like this is just.. more fun. only issue is with plants growing way too fast way too high.

Congratulaions Caitlyn! And I love Clifford the Big Red Betta! And also, I think it helps that these 3.5 gallon tanks are long, with greater surface area and a larger footprint for fish territory and exploration. And if you are using hang on back filtration, as opposed to air pumps and sponges, it allows for more space in the aquarium where the agitation from water flow is minimized to help bettas and little fish from living in rough waters and expending too much energy.

I have never watched a fish channel that wasn’t mostly bettas until yours and you have inspired me so much in the hobby! Thanks for this channel and the time you put into it!!

@jenthulhu 4 жыл бұрын

Suggestion: Corey--you need some little stools people can pull up to look at fish on the lower levels. I get very frustrated at my LFS when I can't see the fish on the bottom and I don't want to sit on the floor (it's dirty at my LFS). A lot of people with disabilities (and elderly people) are into fish and it's hard for them to get up and down.

Love how passionate you guys are about the hobby 👍 think this video will help out a lot of newbies to the hobby who can't justify starting out with a large aquarium, but still want schooling fish, probably worth going for a 10 gallon for a little more flexibility but still goes to show that you can get nano fish in a tank as small as a 3 gallon 👌
