Got home from work today, took a nap, and set up a 20 gallon planted tank (my first planted tank) to start cycling before adding fish in a few weeks. Then got online to check my email and had a notification for this video. Perfect timing!

Love the look of this tank. And that betta is so stunning!

[jilliancesternino]

I hope Fluval is doing right by you doll! I've been on the fence for a while about what to go with, but after seeing this I am definitely sold! Great job, all around.

Just planted mine and I love it. Just waiting for betta fish who is reserved and hanging out at the fish shop whilst I cycle tank. Learning so much.

[dennis-qubs]

yes, you're right. it's a good idea to include the sorts of fish people could try out with that tank. Good idea Fluval!!

[astudentpilotlife]

My very first tank was the 5 gal top fin with beta but after more research, I bought the 15gal flex tank and now, my betta is so happy, active, and making alot of bubble nest.

Regal is being so adorable while peering out of his tank! How cute :3

I have a 20 gallon tank and this makes me want to make it a planted tank! I might buy one of those and switch them over!
Also I love ghost shrimp, I have two and one of them is pregnant so you can see her eggs and it's so cool!!

It's nice but I won't put betta with guppies cause betta will nibble on guppy tails.

[gopokes]

That's a nice tank! i have 4 planted tanks but yours is really cool. I'm jealous.

I'm trying to make a sand waterfall with a air stone, did not work should I try a powerhead or not even try and just focus on plants, your my favorite fish channel and I trust and value your advice...thanks your channel is my favorite, please keep your videos coming. I'm sure you help a lot of people just like me with your advice thank you very much.

[thrstyfox]

thanks for this, I have been deciding long and hard about getting the fluval and a plant set up. cant wait to start :D

[cambuxton]

Big helpful tip. Do not start your FIRST planted tank with complicated plants and big fish. Try a 20 to 30 gallon tank with 6 juvenile neon tetras and some live anubis petite or anubis nana. Maybe a small piece of smooth driftwood. And be sure you have the right sized heater and filter.

Great video Meghan! Excited that you're doing a fish video!

[monab]

Can't wait to get started! Thanks for all of the tips for a newbie like myself!

[mooblackla]

I’m excited to start miles I got all the stuff for it just waiting to set it on the weekend

[goth-mushroom]

Oh wow, what a beautiful tank! As a fish lover this video made me happy! :D

[gabrielamfigueroa]

Could you make a video on how to cycle a tank for someone who has never owned fish? D:
