"Let me know what fish you think I'll put in this tank and it's not what you think it'll be" turns out it's exactly what we are thinking. 🤣🤣🤣

[@opethmike]

I feel like John gives amazing hugs.

[@jordanwilde9226]

Good video and I'm excited to see more. Lisa, in your future plant endeavors you can actually trim the roots before planting into the substrate. This provides the duel benefit of making the planting way easier while also encouraging faster new growth of roots. Learned that tip from George Farmer.

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

Jordan Thank you so much! Thats a great tip 🙂

[@georgewinston4808]

Also looking forward to see how things are going in a couple months :) I could never get plants to last more than that long...

[@metallixro]

At this point in the hobby, with all the knowledge at our disposal in this modern era of fishkeeping, with a few fish related exceptions, there is no excuse of not having planted tanks. It just more respectful towards our fish.

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

So true!

[@Sreyam86]

100% agree but these guys also run an online store, are creating videos every other day on top of that kids and other pets. So it makes sense why they haven't done much planted.

[@metaldesire4]

@@Sreyam86 Funny you say that, since balanced planted tanks are much easier to maintain - once they're cycled and stocked, you barely have to do any water changes, and the fish poop is used by the plants.

[@EpicConspiracy]

Yeah for tanks 40 breeder and below. When you get to 75 gallons plus planted tanks are crazy expensive and tricky.

[@metallixro]

@@EpicConspiracy The bigger the tank the easier it gets to have a successful planted one. Yeah obviously it can get crazy expensive but your fish deserve the best living conditions they can get and for most of the fish in the hobby a planted tank is where its at :) A planted tank doesnt have to be a high end aquascape, fill it with plants like moss, ferns and water wisteria and your fish will love it.

[@paulmccarthy7467]

Beautiful scape Lisa love the way you done that really enjoyed watching. Look forward to seeing John’s is next week. I’ve got todo one myself now 🙂

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

Thank you Paul 🙂 make sure to post yours in Tank Talk so we can all see the outcome 🙂

[@paulmccarthy7467]

@@rootsnwhiskers8351 Will do! I think it will be fun todo as never done any scaping before 🙂

[@bwood4505]

Hey John you said you ordered the plants from Tropicana. This company is located in Denmark and does not ship directly to US customers. Where did you get them?

[@plantedlife]

I thought John said Tropica?

[@Jeffdoeswhat]

Scape looks great.

[@MrPeter924]

Awesome great pets fishing. Work. Aquarium

[@morgan1985uk]

You're ok to trim some of the roots back to make planting easier

[@Random_projects15]

Love your videos I got to meet you at aquashell I am the kid who had the fish food can costom, great video

Hi Levi 🙂

@@rootsnwhiskers8351 hi Lisa, sorry I have been missing the streams lately but I try to watch on replay

[@KGTropicals]

Nice meeting you at Aquashella Levi.

[@tjautocross]

That scape looks amazing!! 👍

[@Uncle_Fishkeeper]

If your retrying planted tank. My guess you are going to attempt to keep shrimp again. Good luck hope all goes well with the tank.

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

Shrimp are definitely cute 🙂

[@hillsidesmoke7592]

Thanks so much for some new and DIFFERENT CONTENT !!! NOT gonna lie the channel was getting stale talking about the same stuff over and over again. I feel plants are a very big deal in that they add so much to a tank and there's so much we need to know. My lfs sells Co2 for growing plants faster ,but I have no clue how that works. Also people don't realize you actually can have plants with Oscar's!!!. I have tiger lotus in my tank and my oscar has never touched it. The key is to get a sturdy plant with a bulb .That way ,your oscar can pull up on it and still not tear it .

[@TheLoechle]

It's those itsy-bitsy fish that John is talking about for the last few weeks. I think Rasbora merah or Sundadanio axelrodi will look good .

[@seaquatics4666]

Hi guys, love your vids!, From Stu in Oz.

Fabulous!! Loved you putting the names and info about the plants up!@

[@lam4517]

Such a nice aqua scape.

[@songbirdmedows]

I really enjoyed this video it looks so pretty although how do you clean this type of aquarium?

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

I have a very small siphon that I use for smaller tanks. Also a toothbrush dedicated to the tank works wonders on cleaning the little things 🙂

[@songbirdmedows]

@@rootsnwhiskers8351 with it being dirt I didn’t think you could use a siphon. I look forward to seeing how well this aquarium does. I would also love to see a video when you decide to clean it :-)

[@ellenm4560]

I loved the laid back style of this video. The scape looks great Lisa 👍

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

Thank you so much El 🙂

[@poolebabytre2599]

That looks great😃 leave it just how it is.

[@kater.6765]

It looks lovely!! Great work, you guys really have an eye for aquascaping. Thanks to you I am going to pick up some plants, driftwood and rocks and all next week and try aquascape my betta to be’s tank. Thanks so much for another amazing video!! I don’t know if you are but if I were picking the fish I say betta all the way! (Or if not betta maybe guppies?)

[@caroleinwv]

I like your tip of adding water to the tank with paper towels. That is often a real mess. I have also broken the pour with plastic bowls. A new trick I am trying is to soak my substrate ( Basicly oil dry) in Easy Green saturated water. So far, so good. I do love your scape! Inspirational!. I think you may put ( Hmmm something that does not jump) some sort of Rasbora. I am afraid Rummy Nose might jump? Golden White Clouds or Rice Fish would be awesome and NO HEATER!

[@rockyandmiles9889]

Very nice! 👌🏻 I loved seeing the Furbabies too 🐶🐱💕 I’m guessing you might put scarlet badis in there. Second guess; pea puffer ! Looking forward to the update!

[@rexhavoc376]

I've found a large Ziploc freezer bag is awesome for adding water without disturbing the aquarium. It's easy to dry out and wash so you can reuse it again and again. And you can seal it with a bit of air so it stays floating!

[@caroleinwv]

@@rexhavoc376 Thank you! Great idea!

[@Sean3D2Y]

Yea paper towels doesn't seem like the best choice since it breaks down and could release fine bits. Best to use like a plastic bag, cup or bowl. Etc.

[@Sean3D2Y]

Interesting idea though soaking your substrate.

[@aquariumplantman]

Planted & aquascaped tanks are the best. I’m keen to see how this tank goes 🌿

[@RomelBacchus]

Excellent scape Lisa! Love how it turned out

[@fishypetkeeping]

It looks beautiful!! I'm guessing maybe you're gonna add... maybe a few Celestial Pearl Danios, or Guppies? Can't wait for the update! Oh and btw, a tip is to keep the stratum wet when planting. I find it alot easier to handle then.

[@marvinscotton8658]

I love tropica plants.

[@PheOfTheFae]

A beautiful scape! I love how it turned out. I know I'm late to this video, so I'll look for an update. :)

[@morgan1985uk]

You need get a 40 gallon Lisa. I think you could create a really nice scape

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Did you have to quarantine your plants or does the place you bought them from say you do not have to. I know that you should do the chlorine/dechlorinate round on plants from different vendors. Maybe not this vendor. Any idea? Thank you. Do you have the link to them?

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

I actually had them for a few weeks prior to doing the scape. I think no matter where you get plants you should be cautious, the same as you would fish. Maybe not to the extreme but always inspect and make sure they're healthy before putting them in your main set up.

[@Connie4422]

Looks amazing!!! Did you use the sand? I didn't see it being added. Absolutely love the scape!! I'm guessing Ember Tetras.

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

Thank you! I ended up saving the sand for the next scape I do 😀

[@DolbecAqua]

Easy aquarium plants are more than worth it! I LOVE Cryptocorynes, Anubias and bucephalandras

[@ruthmeow4262]

I know. Some people bash them because they are easy, but what is wrong with that? Easy and good looking! And so many different varieties of crypts, you can't grow wrong with crypts!

[@DolbecAqua]

@@ruthmeow4262 Oh yeah there's nothing wrong with something being easy! I don't get all the grumpy cats hahah

Hey John and Lisa Great Vid as Usual 😄 can you pls make a video also on The Easiest Plants To Grow in a Tank with No C02 No Ferts No Root Tabs that will not Rot and do well. I know a few Epiphytes such as Anubias Java Fern and some floaters etc but I would like to hear a Large List From You Guys :) Thx 🙏😊. Just some aquatic soil and Sand. And a Planted Tank Light

John and Lisa this video is a godsend! I definitely want to add more plant variety to my tank so I’m definitely going to check out their website. Thanks!

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

Thank you 🙂 you'll love their selection!

[@AJBAdventures]

A small group of Celestial pearl danios/Galaxy Rasbora and cherry shrimp would look nice in there, also no heater needed 😉

[@Czesin]

Not if u live in Australia where it can actually get bloody cold down here

[@ithedespiser]

One powder blue dwarf gourami (like our 'Pearl')

[@RikoStan]

HEY! Nice to see you guys doing more with aquatic plants. I know Lisa loves terrestial plants so much, hopefully you both get into more planted stuff.

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

Thanks Riko! I definitely love plants and it'll be cool if I can provide my fish with their own little houseplants 🥰

Beautiful gorgeous natural tank

[@CricketsMa]

You did a beautiful job! I’m eager to see it in a few weeks.

[@brianwilliams9813]

Do them in small glass dishes. That why you can move them without disturbing their roots. Makes CLEANING way easier

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

Thanks for the advice 🙂

[@farhinsabik746]

[@connorcostello3864]

That tank looks great I wish I had the money to do the fancy rocks, wood, and the stratum. When I get plants I can usually only get three and hope they spread fast. Thank you for the video.

[@dinkywinkydog1311]

you don’t need any money for rocks! Just get outside!

[@jackielehman8945]

There are videos on how to test rocks using your test kit. Its super easy! :-)

[@allanmears4218]

An old dinner fork is great for removing the rockwool from around the roots. Great start. When it all works you get addicted to scaping the tanks.

[@DeFreeseAquariums]

It turned out beautifully! Very inspirational to others wanting to do a planted tank. Can't wait to see if filled in. Ad for fish CPD's or Dwarf Emerald Rasbora's. Well done!!!!

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

Thank you Rob 🙂

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@ellenhorcher2890]

Very pretty Lisa! I have no clue what fish you're putting in there! A wild guess is neon tetras! All the color they have would look so good!

[@johnsonjay60]

Red root floaters look great and beneficial:)

[@finnwiggles28]

[@edwinb.2756]

[@gavinstatikgoddard4340]

Ember tetra or some rummynose would look great in there. The stratum looks like a good substrate, might use that in my 60g

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

Those are great fish 🙂

[@alisonnicholson]

Wow! Lisa looks gorgeous. So much flow and depth in your scape. Amazing ❤

[@TexMexJoe]

Planted aquariums a MUST. My two discus mated and now I have babies everywhere. I'm wondering if I should separate or let them let them be. They are in my community tank and it's heavily planted.

[@UrbanNomadLife]

Looks fantastic!! You mixed the various substrate and hardscape quite well. And the plants look gorgeous in there. I look forward to the day when you and Joanna pair up for aquascaping live streams. I'm only half kidding. ;-)

[@MROCNY173]

The question was answered thank you both.

[@jeffh515]

Very nice Lisa. Would have initially guessed a Betta but you said it's not what we think it is... now I don't know. Espei(Lambchop) Rasboras just popped into my head. 10 of those would look awesome in that tank.

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

I think you did a fantastic job on this aquascape landscape.

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

I love it it looks beautiful you did a great job love your videos thanks .JD

[@dinkywinkydog1311]

Although I have to admit as a planted aquarium lady I was cringing watching her put those plants into dry substrate but its looks like they are doing okay. Wet wet wet when using real plants what I absolutely love the red variety of rotella rotundfolia! It’s nice and red without C02! Lugwigia is also easy to grow and also comes in red! Anubias are my favorite plant especially the nana! I have aquariums not just fish but for plants. I am more into plants than the fish! Her bettas are going to love having soft real plants. My betta who was in a 4.5 gallon bowl passed away at 4 years old he had super long fins so the bowl I bought at a restaurant supply so it had a huge open top and I am thinking of ordering a new guy from you guys. I recommend you guys all the time on fb because chain pet store bettas are so overly bred they’re not very healthy. Anyway I am happy to see the live plants and excited for her to be successful with them. She has lots of friends which is good that also do live to ask questions. Good luck! Back this week and she has my style too so many plants!! Love it!

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

Thats so funny because I know that feeling. I was cringing while I was doing it too 🤣🤣🤣 I guess I'm just use to repotting all my houseplants. Super excited to get more into the aquarium plants, with or without fish 🥰

[@jackielehman8945]

I always plant mine in slightly damp. Too much water and your substrate moves all over the place. :-)

[@naegwut]

This was fun Props to good editing

[@masteraquaticsjustcallmeed5115]

Lisa & John LOVE THE VIDEO AND THE TANK!!! I'm so amazed at the final outcome of your Scape Lisa!!! Totally inspirational!!! The selection of different plants just adds to the dynamics of your Creation!!! Now, tell us, how long did it actually take you to choose what you were going use for this Creation? Not the time it took to work on it, but your thinking skills on deciding on what, where and how you were going to create it? As we all know you are very methodical and enjoy the thinking process, and it really does PAY OFF with this Scape!!! It wouldn't surprise me if you chose to add a couple of Electric Long Fin Blue Rams in this Creation of yours!!! Along with a few Green Tetras!!! And some Amano or Bamboo Shrimp an off course an Ivory Mystery Snail!!! XOXOXOXOXOX!!!!

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

It took me a few days to decide on the plants. Researching background, center and foreground easy plants was my goal 🙂
