Let me preface this video real quick and let you guys know that this is all footage from
About three weeks ago.
As you guys know, I did go to Vidcon
And I filmed this right before I left to Vidcon
and I filmed my intro, which I guess is now *not* my intro, because *this* is the intro,
But you're still going to see that other intro after this intro.
I filmed it on the road.
So don't want to confuse you guys. I'm not traveling. I am back at home, but some of the stuff
I talked about is like wait, where are you? Confusion kind of thing so without further ado, here's the video hello
I'm on the road currently driving to California with some of my animals
I am going to Vidcon and
I am bringing some of my animals with me
For that and a few other events that we have going on and just because obviously I'm wanting to move to
California at some point, and I've said this a lot
I don't know when that's happening, but I do know that every time I've been to California
I haven't had my animals with me
So I just kind of wanted to get a feel of what it would be like
Being here in California doing the things that I do in, California
With my animals and just seeing how the trip goes like test driving the road trip there because I'm gonna have to road trip it with
All my animal hoping that everything goes completely
Smooth no bumps in the road so far everything's been ok but I just wanted to put out a little
Different video for you guys today. The video that I'm going to be putting out today isn't really about my trip
it's actually about what I did before my trip. You see before I hit the road I went to petco and
My mom fell in love with some of the fish there and she was like come on
Let's build a betta sorority tank, so I was like
Okay, sounds good pretty easy really low maintenance after deciding that I was going to build one
I also decided that I was going to use only the products
I had in my own home already, but I wasn't going to buy anything for them in addition
Now this may kinda sound awful like 'oh my God you're going to give them the worst life ever'
But I think you guys will be impressed with what I was able to come up with
Using only what I had in my house already including the tank. I didn't even buy a new tank or anything for them
I didn't buy a single thing, didn't buy a heater didn't buy a filter didn't buy anything. I just use the miscellaneous products
I have in my house and, it came together pretty well
Of course this has to be at literally the bottom. That's great. Yeah
I have backup items for just about every animal you could possibly imagine in here
Here's three cages all stacked on top of each other there is another tank right there
It's a 60 gallon
And I think there are some tanks inside of that tank. Dog kennel, another tank right there all of these are small animal supplies
There's another tank. This is all aquarium stuff
It's blazing hot out here, and I need to get to the bottom so that's going to be really really fun
It's so hot I hate Texas. So we have a canister filter there that I'm actually probably going to replace the hang on back with
I would use something like this, but there's holes in it
And I'm afraid the beta's will go in there and like never come out. Don't even know what that is. Giant power heads
What is that? Oh, that's literally a tank, okay. Another tank down here. This could maybe work. Light
Thinking it would probably be like bare minimum, but I literally have a freaking pet store in my garage
they probably thought like you know trying to make a betta tank out of what I already own and
Very moist in here. I hate that word. Another filter, more lights. This is like a $60 light right here
Let's see what's in this one while we're out here. Oh, okay?
This is like $100 light. Hopefully this one floats, betas like to hide in things that float
This is another one
So maybe we won't use it
More filters, all right. Remind me to never buy a filter again, I literally have enough filters for 30 more fish tanks
Eventually...
Okay, so it is now time to add the betta fish. The tank is all good to go.
Eventually...
Plants, but with this setup of course I used what I had on hand and I didn't have any so, I just did sand.
When you're doing a planted tank
it's best to use some kind of substrate that is specifically for
Plants, but with this setup of course I used what I had on hand and I didn't have any so, I just did sand.
But I did happen to have some plant tabs that you put in the substrate below wherever the plant is and it has some nutrients
And good things for them, so I did use that in the future
I probably will change up the substrate best for plants if I decide to continue to put live plants in this tank
So I'm going to go ahead and release them.
They are going to have to establish a pecking order which means they're probably going to fight a little bit.
So, don't be alarmed if you see them nipping at each other
But you know if a month goes by, and they're still doing it, I would be a little concerned
There we go, all four, and they probably have no clue what to do because they've been in a cup their whole life

Thank you guys so much for watching
They're bad. I've never known that. Someone very nicely just you know let me know. "Hey, just look into it
Maybe you'll see what you know. Maybe it's not the best thing" so I did and yeah, I can't decide right now
I'm kind of on it. My betas aren't fighting. They're all fine
They don't even flare up anymore when they see each other, they don't you know puff up and put their little gills out to look

Scary they all seem fine to me, but sources online say that the betta fish are stressed in this situation
So although this video shows me setting up a beta sorority tank
Please please do your own research before coming to the conclusion that you want to do that
I would recommend no less than 20 gallons for a beta sorority tank
