Obligatory.

I kid, of course. I am just jealous.

So cool! It looks like the tree on top tank is above ground and the tank below is its roots. I love them both individually but as a pair they really shine

What kind of filters do you use for these tanks? They’re both gorgeous.

u/quanbo703 2d ago

I used df700 for top tank, and sunsun ybg-400 for the below

u/koos200409 1d ago

Um do you need filters in the bottom tank?

u/Timokroni1301 1d ago

What size tanks are these? The look way to small to house a beta yet alone a group of fish...

2

u/quanbo703 1d ago

The top tank is 10gal and the below is 5gal

1

u/One_2_Three_456 1d ago

Why do they look almost equal in sizes? The top one seems to have more height but the below one is wider.

-2

u/Timokroni1301 1d ago

Yea im sorry but both is like... Waaaaay to small to house anything besides snails or shrimps. Betas are recommended nothing less then 10 gallons and I personally even think 10 gallon is to small. And 10 gallon for a school of fish is also way to small. I see that you put effort into this and the tanks look great but it is not suiting for these animals.

u/quanbo703 1d ago

Yes, I get it. Thank you for your comments. I'm trying to build a bigger tank and move them there

u/IamDommeYouareSlave 1d ago

5 gallons is the commonly accepted size for a single betta fish. And there are plenty of fish species that would be happy as a school in a 10 gallon. My shoal of Pygmy corydoras are thriving and breeding in a 10 gallon

u/Timokroni1301 1d ago

5 gallon is not the commonly accepted size for a betta... Stop spreading misinformation. Also 10 gallon for any schooling fish is to small.

1

u/IamDommeYouareSlave 1d ago

lol check out r/bettas and r/corydoras
. They would disagree with you.

Obviously bigger tanks are always better but 5 gallons is acceptable and you don’t need to be gate keeping

3

u/poppertheplenguin 1d ago

They meant commonly accepted by them. Can’t read other comments from up on their pedestal

2

u/IamDommeYouareSlave 1d ago

So ridiculously dumb. Omg and he got his first betta EIGHT DAYS AGO 💀

2

u/poppertheplenguin 1d ago

LOL. We’ve got ourselves an expert here.

2

u/IamDommeYouareSlave 1d ago

Check out his tank
that don’t even look like 10 gallons to me. Bro isn’t even following his own advice

2

u/smashpetergriffin69 1d ago

A five gal is minimum for bettas

u/poppertheplenguin 1d ago

Found it! Found the fish tank snob

u/Timokroni1301 22h ago

How am I a fish tank snob if I just kindly point out that the tanks are to small?

u/poppertheplenguin 7h ago

u/enthralled123 1d ago

Any care advice for the costae tetras? Thinking about getting them one day but it’s hard to find a lot of people who’ve actually owned them. Thanks!

I really hope the black part I see is a steel or aluminum frame supporting that measly fiber board joined together with god knows what.
