First love your vids

Yes she did!

Glad she loves the tank

You are truly a man of surprizes! That's why I love watching your channel 😍🎊

hi Paul, glade your mom liked the tank very cool

Do you think the tank shape is an issue because oxygen cant flow well because its round? Or is it perfectly fine (as in shape) because it doesnt have a top?

@@amantinamunoz2043 small bowls aren’t good but if it was a BIG BOWL (3-5gallon) then thats ok.. and if u dont want to add filter then lots of plants are the key (fast growing plants + floating plants) to help absorbing ammonia, nitrite and nitrate and oxygynate the tank. Plus a heater should be placed which is hard to find for bowl. Betta fish can be kept in heavenly planted tank if there is no filter because they can breathe of the air but some other fish cant so they need filter or air stone in planted tank to give oxygen. Hope this helps.

@@MrsBaRCa the problem with fast growing plants tho is that they die fast to, the reason i dont like bowls is bc they are inconvenient (as in shape) bc its hard to find filters and stuff that can fit them .-.

@@amantinamunoz2043 Totally agree.. fast growing can be very beneficial specially if you want to add the fish right away, give the beneficial bacteria time to grow.

@@MrsBaRCa what are some fast growing plants?

Wait what there’s a pleco in there?

Yup plexus wil become big as the tank like in length if it survives so put it in the mister pond

@@johntomothy8414 he put the plexiglass in his 1000 or 4000 gallon surprised it survived tbh, I’m not hating on Paul cuz he’s cool to watch

this comment is super late but for quality of life you really should be doing a 10 gallon tank for a betta

Mines fine. Been growing 6 years now. Was a bit of rot initially but it grew back just fine. :)

@@Catglittercrafts you shouldn't bury it, but you could put the rhizome (which is where the leaves come from) on top of the substrate, but never covered by substrate.

Mine are also buried and its growing amazingly for the past 3 years :)

And on top of that there's no nutrition layer in the substrate

true

Thinking the same

probably why most of his tanks are on only once. its his thing to hype the wrong things up for views and let the animals suffer and countless others with other people thinking its okay

Agree, 90% of these plants and the fish are going to die. I think the pleco will kill the betta, as the tank is too small and theres no algae so the pleco will suck onto the betta who doesn't move a lot at night and injure it and stress it and the ammonia will eventually kill them both because theres too little water and nutrients those plants will die before they can work.

lol

I know that's what I thought too I mean the tank isn't big enough even for the betta especially without a filter

Another problem is thats the tank has no nutrients besides what is created from the fish to the plants probably won't survive long term

Can always take him out when he grows.

@@TheRatCharmer the tank is plenty big for the betta but plecos have a lot of waste and the water would need to be cleaned daily

Yeah the system will fail and can possibly harm betta

@@Schnitzel_collector depends on the kind of plants and the stocking and fertz

@@Schnitzel_collector it depends on what plants you have because the plants he got need lots of nutrients.

He could be dosing with CO2 or some other plant nutrients. To my knowledge you don’t always need substrate.

@@jesset3832 No Amazon swords are heavy root feeders they can’t rely on Co2 and he put no root tabs, even with root tabs that substrate is only like 1 inch their roots can go up to 5 to 6 inches or more

The UKposts gods have fallen upon me!

BRUH, same

You don’t need to

@@Moondaiiiiiii u do and the tank is to small beta fish are way different

@@JaIeia he could have got already cycled water and it’s not small

@@Moondaiiiiiii cycled water doesn't do anything bud

@@tiaratheawesome9462 it’s cycled so it’s safe😲

Ya wrong channel, you wouldn’t find that here

@@ethanhan4129 Every now and then you can.

@@JL-te5up no he abuses fish in pretty much every video

@@ethanhan4129 What? I’m taking about Paul feeding his animals..

@@JL-te5up he put that betta in such a small tank that it would die , and you can’t feed dead animals now can you

Thank you!

@@paulcuffaro respect on getting some live plants, but the plants wont live long especially since they're is no filter with no beneficial bacteria. And I recommend getting some otocinclis catfish since they produce less poop than plecos. I dont want the rotting plants and the amount of pleco poop poison the betta fish yfm? Gotta get some aqua soil for the plants and I recommend a 5 gallon for the betta but respect on the plants!

@@vsalt707 if there are rocks and other places like that where there is a large surface area it ok because the beneficial bacteria will live there too

@@vsalt707 he shouldnt even get fish for that tank its too small for basically any fish ! it looks like a 3g

@@oxdg827 true but tbh the aquarium shop I go to is an aquascape place but they have 3 gallons with guppies and they're breeding. I feel like it really just boils down to the maintenance yk? Not saying to shove a bunch of goldfish in a 3g just saying pick the right nano fish and do high maintenance

So your saying you didn’t heat a tropical fish’s tank?

I was gonna comment Casper and then I saw that you already did it so 👍

I love Casper!

I love ittt

and bc it will be dead soon with that setup

@@sophie_mahoney stop this made me laugh so hard, but its also sad for that fish :(

HAHAHAHAHA the fish died i bet

Pearl

yeah this is his second “surprising my mom with a dream betta” video lmao

They will probably change out the tank and this one is just for “looks”

They did survive and now the betta is grown to be white with purplish colour tail

Even with all those plants ?

@@Catglittercrafts you could add double the amount of what’s in there and it still wouldn’t help. That thing is less than 5 gallons the bio load is way too much for that uncycled and unfiltered thing. Ammonia will probably end up killing those beautiful fish

@@Catglittercrafts Most of the plants will probably rot because the substrate is horrible

@@Catglittercrafts yup, even even the plants. He didn't even cycle the tank, there's no filter, and there's no heater. Water levels are gonna be shit

Peppermint shrimp?

🙌Yes🙌

Betta

It won't survive long enough for a name

Not necessarily. If he did everything right he won’t even have to do water changes and the plants will act as the filter. betta fishes breathe on top of the surface so they don’t need any surface agitation. Idk about the pleco tho, he should just move it because the tank is too small.

@@DG-cb5ft While they can breath on the surface, it's not entirely the best thing for the fish.

@@DG-cb5ft filters are important for water quality. Shape is important for fishes quality of life.😢

@@mandypdx i know that, but heavily planted tanks don’t need it. Plants absorb the toxic stuff

@@AzraelThanatos true. He can put a mini air pump because to much can stress Betta fishes

No no no, I believe he has done plenty of research. This is clearly his simplified and perfected version of the Walstad method.

@@michaelrasmussen9630 Thas has got nothing to do with it... Anubias and Java Fern are not supposed to be put in any substrate. You should attach them to hardscape but the roots (or rhizomes) should not be covered

@@michaeldepaepe Sarcasm is really wasted on some people.

@@michaelrasmussen9630 sorry, wasn't sure if it was sarcasm or not ;)

@@michaeldepaepe It's ok, my sarcasm isn't always that transparent. :)

Fluval stratum is the best in my opinion

Bettas need heat, and can do fine in a community tank, but there has to be enough room in the tank to handle the bio load from all the fish.

He lives in Florida so the climate is warm so no need for a heater and also if you want to put your betta in a tank with other fish (not another betta) than I recommend buying some ghost shrimp to test how aggressive your betta is if your betta is chasing the shrimp it means that your betta is aggressive and can not be kept in a tank with other fish if it doesn’t your betta is fine with other fish

@@collint5103 They have air conditioning though, to keep the tank about 80f then the room would need to be about 84f theres no way they keep their house that warm, thats unbarable heat.

They can’t be in a community tank because they are extremely territorial and are known to kill community fish..

@@senoc0926 of course they can be in a community tank. But the tank has to be large enough to easily accommodate the fish.

And is animal abuse

Doubt the pleco will jump

@@kittyspetss weird that haha, never had 1 jump only a common pleco once.

@@jhaych gargomale jumped I didn't think he would but he did 😞

yeah, but he normally doesnt do research before buying stuff for content

This specific pleco doesn’t grow big but overall ur comment is true

cry

@@pointblank8450 this pleco grows up to 6”…

Surpise dead fish in 3 weeks.

And the plants should be in aqua soil

Not necessarily. If you saw at greenaqua sometimes they dont put soil and just add root tabs before putting in sand. Those plants would be deprived of light though by the duckweed.

ikr. mans needs to learn how to keep fish before putting his trash tanks on yt and mis leading new fish keepers and cousing them to quit bcs they r doing this wrong and learning from the wrong person.

@@monx1983 yea but long term use it's easier to use aqua soil than to use root tabs every other month

It’s too small tho

@@ethanhan4129 way....way too small

not sure about amazing... this tank does look a little nice but its not a good home for a betta at all, for starters it doesent have a heater or a filter, bettas like a higher temp of 78-82F, and without a filter the ammonia in that tank is going to be through the roof especially with the bioload of a betta and a pleco. Betta need a minimum tank of 5 gallons and this thing is not any bigger than 2. He didint cycle the tank at all or add any sort of beneficial bacteria so any of the waste that is produced by the betta and pleco will just kill the fish. Honestly ill be surprised if they last more then 2 weeks in that tank, the betta will probably jump out within a couple of days.

@@Gmte bruh everyone comes and criticizes Paul Why don’t you just leave him alone it’s not a big deal

@@crid7391 it is a big deal which is why everyone is coming in to comment. New fishkeepers might just emulate paul and then fail because they don't have all the correct information.

@@blammer I agree I think he should of left more room for the fish I followed what he said and all my fish but 3 died I felt horrible after that I think that at the beginning of the video he should explain that it’s not the best idea and that you should add a filter for filtration and a top so the betta can’t jump out

If they don't need it why buy it worry about your own tank

I’m more disappointed with the tank size 🤦🏽‍♂️

@@CDE. they do need it lol

You enjoy animal suffering? It is horrible and cruel what he does.

thankyou. not enough people commenting this. very irresponsible of him to upload or even make this.

Why do long fin bettas need a 10 gallon if they are terrible swimmers? Which is worse as they get older?? I have mine in a 5 gallon and I can’t afford an upgrade with filter and stuff rn, but I’m just curious

Curved/round tanks are not good either. This video is upsetting 😢

The tank also have no filter and he never did the water cycle perfectly

@@thenameless7810 youll soon come to learn Paul basically knows nothing about fish lol

@zenaqua please get this following message/info to Paul regarding the tank it's IMPORTANT!! PLEASE READ!! First off my daughter (8) and I absolutely adore you!! We were lucky to meet you a CPL years back n CA at the Halloween event at Prehistoric Pets with Blake. My daughter has several of your merch items and signed Pokemon cards and her favorite possessions she has is the pictures with you from the event. So please know I say this with LOVE... Get that Pleco out of that tank asap!! For a couple reasons...1. the bio load it will produce in that tank without a true filter will harm the Betta faster than you could blink. There's no amount of plants that would keep up to keep the water clean enough to be healthy. They are AMAZING FISH but POOP machines!! And even with the daily water changes it will be near impossible without stressing both fish and the plants out from so much. 2. My daughter has 2 baby long fin Bristlenose the same size as the one you got and we thought it would be fine to put them in with her Betta in a 20g to grow out... I even added extra filtration(2 sponge filter and a hang in back) and plants to keep up with the bio load. But that's not even the biggest issue. He (Betta) went from 100% beautiful and perfectly healthy to clinging for his life in 2 days. While Bettas bed down for the night plecos are nocturnal and our scavenging all night long. While doing so they tried to make a meal out of him. The first day and night all was fine but after the 2nd night I woke up to a complete horror. He was floating lifeless, missing both dorsal and anal fins that were completely gnawed off 3/4 of his tail gone and 1 pectoral fin gone down to the nub, slime coat sucked off in several places, a missing one eye... And the worst part is he was still alive!! Alive while it happened and alive in absolute pain I'm sure. I obviously removed him immediately and for the last 2 weeks have been treating him heavily everyday!! He is still alive and healing very slowly but I feel absolutely horrible!!! I would hate for the same to happen to your mom's Betta as well.... I really hope you actually see this and remove it before anything does happen. I thought it would have been fine as well but come to find out it's a pretty common thing to happen with baby plecos and betta's. Your moms tank turned out absolutely beautiful and the Betta will be very happy in it.... Alone!!! Please, please, please remove that Pleco immediately!!! important!!!
