EASY DIY FILTER for a BETTA FISH TANK.

If you put some activated carbon in filter it will make water not smell and water clearer.

Can you use any stones?

My 4 guppies died yesterday 😭

What size glass jars would you recommend for a 20 gallon long that is divided into 4-5 sections?

How does the dyi betta compare to a traditional sponge filter for mechanical filtration? I currently use a sponge filter in my betta tank and feel it doesn't do the best with mechanical filtration.

Hi great video! Will this work in a 2gallon tank? Or is too strong.

Wonderful job

How can you go 6 to 10 wks without water changes ? I've got a large filter what does 2000 litres and I still have to do regular water changes. NO WONDER YOUR WATER IS SO DIRTY. Not to mention ammonia,nitrite, and nitrates will be sky high.

Great video

My betta fish just climbed right into the center of my diy filter where all the bubbles are. Why?

Will 100% polyster fiber work in place of the plolyfill? Please someone answer soon. Thank you!

For those making these and cannot find the tubing, a turkey baster works great, the ones that flex a little (softer plastic) are easier to cut, not the ridged plastic. Sunbeam brand. You can cut it with a steak knife and drill holes around one end.

I made this but the air stone keeps floating up and doesn't stay at the bottom of the tube, does it have to touch the bottom in order for it to work properly? If so, what do you suggest I do to help it stay anchored to the bottom?

Perfect video and very very informative. Thanks for sharing this.😊

I really like this method of using the jar. I could essentially bury most of it for aesthetic purposes. I will probably try this because I'm a canner and have hundreds of jars of all sizes!

Hi,, can i use activated carbon instead of stones? Btw, thanks for the awesome video.. more power

Wow this is great. Thank you for sharing

Do I really need an air stone? Can’t the tube be bare?

Hi! I'm planning on using this in my soon-to-be betta tank. Will a thicker plastic bottle work for this?

Actually, I think the DIY filter is better than the store bought sponge filter. As well, it would be easy enough to use a larger jar and stronger air pump, if your aquarium needed it.

Thanks for this tutorial, it was extremely helpful!

Great video! If you make the tube in the middle twice the length to the height of the bottle, it'll be more effective.

Very thorough! My daughter received a beta as a gift and we have been researching how to create a cozy environment for it. Your videos have been so easy to follow – Really cleared up a lot of questions we were having during our research. Thank you!!! Happy holiday's 🙂

I'm rescuing 2 male Bettas that are in pretty rough shape, I'm going to make 2 of these for there divided tank, I have a daycare so I have many empty baby jars, I love this diy! Any recommendations for getting these little guys healthy? I know you have beautiful Bettas

hi, i made this, but I feel as if it's not working well… it seems to barely filter, nothing at ALL is getting sucked in, even small particles, I tried testing the suction by putting a piece of duckweed to see if it'll hold… but it was to no avail, I set it up EXACTLY how it was here, and the other video.

This is wonderful! I have a lot of betas and I’ve been looking for a good filter for them with a lower flow then the in I have. Little suggestion tho I would add a layer of activated carbon to the filter medium. You have great mechanical and bio filtration but no chemical filtration. It’s not Necessarily needed. Your tanks are proof of that. But it still helps a bit. 😀

Thank you

I eat betta fish they taste real good… Jk I am a long time betta keeper and love the fish ( as a pet ) fish are friends not food

That's amazing! Thank you for sharing ! 🙂

I have a question my betta is making a bubble nest and everything I but the female close by like at 8am is it okay to put her in tomorrow at 8pm? Or sometime in the afternoon???

it toy poly fill you use but there are loads,how do you know which one to buy?
And what chemicals do I look for to avoid in the poly fill

I’m currently trying to set up a betta fish tank and I was wondering can I mix both live and fake plants in my tank ?

Hi Sheila, would it be okay to replace the polyester fibers with cotton? The regular make-up remover type of cotton, not pre-moistened with any make-up remover of course, and even organic. Polyester stuffing is sold in giant bags here and i really don't want to have more craft supplies lying around for years if I only need a pinch of it. Thanks!

Does a filter works for filtering and air pump too?

How would a pint size glass do for one of these? For either a 10 gallon or 20long? The pints are generally the size jars I keep on hand. Thank you for this video!

Awesome info! Thank you so much!

Is this possible for a 40 gallon filter?

I have a diy betta filter for my oldest Ct betta, Crowley ☺ hes roughly about 1 year

Neat DIY project! Have you ever mixed the regular stone with lava rock or a medium such as Seachem Matrix? You'd get better bio filtration than with smooth stones. And are those small mason jars you were using?

Excellent video! Really enjoying your tank divider kit. Just such a great value for what you get in the end. Thank you for creating an amazing product! ✌😍

When are you going to tell us what the new betta fish is name is?

Is it possible to get a link the the gang valve? I've been looking into them but there are simply so many different companies offering the same thing it seems
