Betta Blackwater Hybrid Tank: Planted & Botanicals (Low Tech, No Filter, Aquascape Tutorial)

Can u help me pls. No matter how I disinfect my tank, the anchor worms infestation keeps coming back

Is there an official way to get aquarian products in the US?

Be careful for betta fis. Sharp wood

I wanted to see a REAL black water tank! Didn’t watch!

The some reason was there wasn't substate. If that was the tank.

Hey MD, aren't you scared that the betta could jump out without cover?

the setup reminds me of like a big tree in a calming forest. might have to get some botanicals!

Make a dwarf Mexican crayfish tank

I just got a male Crowntail Betta about 3-4 days ago. Im gonna be making a bigger tank for him later on so hes a happy boi instead of a lazy one😂

You said that you used the root tabs in all of your systems. Would you use them in a dirted tank or would they even be necessary?

It’s such a beautiful tank! I was just wondering if those twigs are sharp at all? I couldn’t tell from the video and those can really hurt a betta’s fins. Even the short-finned ones. Again I loved the tank I was just a little concerned

Question #2. When boiling botanicals, will that work on leaves that I can find on the ground locally?

I aspire to have this for my betta, such a beautiful tank well done!

Dude your root reminds me of a nazgul head

Absolutely beautiful tank again!

do you have problems with snails getting out of your open tanks?

Jesus loves you

I’ve seen a good few of your videos now, what I like most is your consistency. Every set-up has the same good foundation and then you modify from there. I’ve never kept fish before but this makes me think I can have a go as long as I make sure the basics are all in place and I keep on top of water testing.

I used used builders sand (you need to wash it multiple times) an old dead tree branch (you need to weigh it down) and then Google house plants that can grow submurged. My tank looks so natural, like an Amazon jungle and it was almost nothing. My beta loves it. I wish u guys could see

love this whole thing!!! but as a person with trypophobia I HATE lotus pods and really wish people would stop using them!

Question - do the snails escape from the open top aquariums?

Superb 👌 Awesome channel and content, thank you so much for creating watchable, enjoyable, family friendly videos.. truly excellent.. newly subscribed and a fan! 🐟🦐🐠🐡🌿🌿🍂

I've never been interested in black water or betta tanks, but, I am loving this.

It still baffles me that people BUY sticks and dried leaves...

Brother what type of Betta fish is that? Nice color with Red lips 😂

Awsome Betta. The tank setup is perfection for this beautiful fish.

hell boy is a sick name 👍

I love Bettas, and always find myself coming back to this vid and a few others of yours

hey MD if u r ever in NY, I got you i can show u some of the nices spots in NYC. looking forward to meeting u and MATHEW one day

any updates on that one please? :) would love to see progress after few months (what went wrong etc.)

I wish channels like this were around back when I was serious about keeping fish. A friend got me into the hobby but watching your videos showed me just how little he really knew. Now I live so far away from an actual fish/aquarium store it would take me 4 hours round trip to get to the nearest store. Not sure I could do it successfully by mail/online now though.

Can we get an update

Stunning

Hi MD,
Just wondering the cinnamon stick is from cooking one, right

Muy lindo. Like y felicitaciones
Y que filtro usa??

What kind of pod you put on the left front corner?

WoW! 🔥 Your eye keeps WoW-ing my visuals and my soul drools to do one because this one is magnificent! I admit I would stop adding things so early in your builds yet as you keep adding more, it seems simplified vs over done. BRAVO! & geepers...yet another tank idea I hope to try one day, soon. Thank you, MD! "WoW!'✌🏼🙏🏼🖖🏼🧜🏻‍♀️🐠🐾💖

i made a smaller black water tank to keep a beta in but i cant get the water to not be clowdy

everything else seems great, plants growing, soil substrate and sand, sand was rinsed, lots of plants and a piece of wood, everything looks great and seems to be thriving but the water is just a little cloudy all the time,

it looks barely haze from the front but when you look through the side you can see how cloudy it is

any tips ? i even did a water change to no avail, im just worried about using any type of pet store product would harm the plants

Try Rooibos tea from South Africa.

This might be a stupid question but here goes: this is precisely the type of hybrid blackwater betta tank I want to build, but I need to heat it. Without a filter, how would I create enough flow to move the heated water around sufficiently? Especially for the swirly slow-moving betta, I’d love to have no filter flow at all. Could it be heated with a heating pad/mat on most of the back surface of the tank (with a temp probe and controller setup to regulate)? I want to limo black film the back of the tank anyway so it would be totally hidden.

I have a black water ecosystem for my betta too ! Inspired by md tanks

A tutorial about botanicals would be great

That is not blackwater yet

Where can I buy all of the leaves and black water supplies ya’ll had? I’ve never seen so many options!

How long do you need to wait before putting water and animals in after you use gorilla glue?

BEAUTIFUL
