Hi George, I was lucky enough to visit zoo flotman with Jurijs a few weeks back , a wonderful shop, the plant section is second to none. It truly is a superb place to visit and get lost in, time just disappears, the tanks are beautiful and the owner is such a passionate guy, who loves to pass on his knowledge. Unfortunately I never got to the koi garden. One of the best stores I have visited. Thank you so much for this , it brought back some very happy memories. Cheers George.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Cheers mate! Jurijs spoke very highly of you during my visit 👍

[@terrywilliams5810]

@@GeorgeFarmerStudios such a nice guy.

[@HeRo-qd6tk]

Thank you George and Jurijs ... this was a nice visit. I would love to enjoy a glass of Chardonnay by the side of the pond, in the sun and warm weather !!!!!!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Sounds lovely 🍷

[@petervandieren]

My favorite scape is the tank with the beautiful Melanotaenia boesemani. Besides the scape itself i really like these fish. Certainly underrated. Like you said, they do not look good when tiny and in shop conditions, but when they are in a good habitat, their colors will amaze you. I have them myself for about 15 years with several generations i bred myself. Still love them!

[@frogmonkeymoo]

They are gorgeous. And quite personable too! I’ll never have enough room for the size tank they need, but whenever I see some in a display tank I’ll make a beeline for them and hang out for a while.

[@janinebonser9933]

So many beautiful living showpieces! Thank you so much for sharing your visits all over the continent. I especially appreciate your attention to all the little details. I am learning so much.

[@TriniFishHobbyist]

Very beautiful tanks and koi pond. Truly an inspiring store.

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

You explain everything so beautifully. You make the aesthetics of how the planted tanks are set up easy,for a beginner like me to understand. I really love the second scape. The third scape, I believe you said was your favorite, is absolutely gorgeous and the fish were amazing! Really, I just love them all!! I just found myself being mesmerised and my stress levels melt away when I enjoy your videos! Thank you for letting me come along!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Mary! I’m really grateful for your feedback and pleased you enjoy my content. 😊

[@mrek2068]

Wow - incredible aquascapes. Those rainbows are stunning.

[@HubcioGrubcio]

I love the glass lids on the aquariums. Maybe its not as beautiful as open tank but it is so much safer for the fish. And it reduces evapouring too!

[@chelmsford6774]

Love the Rainbow tank. Great job filming Jurjs, George the hard scape supply was nice. Great to see you both enjoying a great store, hope I can one day.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks mate

[@Stavrosmct]

Those rainbows are incredible.

[@anupaminthetube]

Yayyy.. those are literally red!!!

[@rte64rte]

Nice store! All of the tanks were scaped beautifully but have to say the more mature one that you said was planted sort of chaotic was one of my favorites.

[@BenOchart]

I agree, the tank with the rainbows was stunning! Thank you!

[@bailey50100]

The fish and the scales in this video are an absolute treat. The colours amazing!!!!

[@srdjanjovanovic4858]

Amazing store. George thank you for this video and a great tour view. Rainbow fishes are beautiful.

[@johncraft8789]

George that was a beautiful tour and I get so excited myself over Hardscape what a wonderful job you're doing

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks John!

[@serhiiyenko2348]

Hello, George, Jurijs! Nice video, the pond is fantastic. Thank you for the video.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 😊

[@susanneobes9186]

The fish is dicrossus filamentosus, I have them, because I saw them at Zoo Flottmann and fell in love with them, a great fish 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Susanne!

[@ismamad]

Thanks for the video, and congrats to the store owner, really an amazing place. AS for the scape I really enjoy the tank at 10:17 with the contrast of the wood with the green from the plants

[@stevenpavan327]

That pond is heaven sent. Wonderful George. You do an amazing job of documenting God's beauty here on earth! Bravo good sir. Thank you for your videos!

[@artfisher1235]

George great scapes and commentaries. Most of us would agree that the next generation must be without any visible plumbing whatsoever., and that secondary tanks directly behind the primaries will evolve the background depth and interest.

[@rochellehalligan2523]

the amazing rainbow fish tank, with striking red and blue contrasting colors.. is my favorite....

[@williammcdowell6257]

Puts most tropical fish shops in the UK to shame. Plants for sale not being slowly killed! Not sure about the slightly artificial lighting of some tanks - the Kessils on the other hand looked really good. So many top quality display tanks in one shop. Why the use of clipped cover glass? I haven't put Nerite snails in my main tank - think I've done the right thing. Keep up the good work George, very very entertaining and the Zen style Koi garden a delight.

[@philipwilkinson988]

What a fantastic place George.That pond and koi so beautiful even not at its best.The tropical tanks were stunning ,colours on the boesmani rainbows were incredible.Love these tour posts and the film quality is so good.Keep them coming mate you're doing a wonderful job Best wishes Phil.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Phillip!

Love the video! Great tour of Zoo-Flottman! Alot of high end aquascaping. A big fan of the pond too! Thanks again George for the video and update. Be safe and be healthy friend.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

😊🙏

[@jonstfrancis]

Love those aquascapes and Jurijs' with the cherry shrimp and cherry barbs(?), so striking. Good tip about collecting the odd stone and wood here and there to build up a collection. I do the same and the stones when not in a tank can look great on a pot with a cactus or similarly used artistically. And that pond and garden.... wow!

[@frogmonkeymoo]

I agree with all of that! I have quite a few “pet rocks” arranged around my houseplants waiting for their eventual scape home. Love Jurijs’ tank too. Those are chilli rasboras btw, just as red as cherry barbs or more but tiny. They are stunning and so cute.

[@jonstfrancis]

@@frogmonkeymoo Thanks! I thought they seemed a bit small! Very cute fish. Glad I'm not the only one collecting and using stones and so on like that.

[@anupaminthetube]

This store is supperrrb ! And that Japanese Garden with those lovely Koi, it's awesome ! Man what a video, enjoyed it. Cheers!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 😊

[@DeanR3]

Wow what a shop, stunning. Thanks george

[@alvinpranata2000]

I'm from Indonesia and this is probably the first time that I've heard 'Indonesian style' in aquascaping. Anyways, great content as always. Keep it up !

Thanks Alvin!

[@martinredfern9130]

Hi George, hope you and the family are well in this difficult time. What a great video, superbly filmed by Jurijs. Amazing store with some stunning tanks ,really hard to pick a favourite as they are all so diverse, and differ greatly depending on the choice of lighting. I do really love the Japanese Koi pond and garden as i have koi myself. Take care and keep safe mate, all the best,Martin

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Cheers mate

[@randysearle2702]

gorgeous store, I hope scaping takes off in America as much as it has in Europe so shops of this quality can thrive

[@damionmarkham9835]

Aqua lab in San Jose California is Gallery type store getting better each visit . Aqua forest in Culver City is nice , I know some others but aqua lab is the closest to a European type store

[@Aquagold.goldysingh1313]

So beautiful store...tank and livestock are so beautiful and amazing

[@RyoWatanabee]

Awesome store!

Thank you for this tour. It's like little heaven for me

[@johnjo2502]

quite a few years back i had 4 Boesmani rainbows and your right, in the shops they look quite drab and are often overlooked. But it`s worth the wait for them to mature as seen.

[@larsjansen3980]

A very nice fishshop indeed! Thanks for sharing

[@markhunter2244]

Love the shimmer you get from the Kessil lights

[@mikeinca3762]

Oh! and the last aguascape is amazing!

[@aquaticliving6019]

thank you George

[@SpaghettiKillah]

I had some of those rainbow fish. I think they're from Australia. They're like the Porsche of the aquariums ! They *LOVE* to swim full speed against the water flow from the return pump! Also given how fast they are they gonna take food away from everyone 😂 really loved mine. They get along with ALL the fish, even the low key/shy ones.....they don't bother anyone!

[@Bad_Nana_1966]

I’ve got a ten gallon kit, slowly gathering up my hard scape, going to start simple with as many easy plants as possible and after the tank is cycled think about some fish 🐟 Haven’t been this excited since I got my old English sheepdog lol 😂 Wish me luck 🍀

[@gedheaton1415]

What a great shop, well done to you George for the vid and our friends in Frankfurt.

Rimless tanks with glass lids.....love it! Haven't seen that in Canada!

[@pattysandbrook8278]

Really like the scape in the third tank with the stunning Boesemani Rainbow fish. I've kept those before but I don't think mine looked nearly that good.

[@fishysnowman9082]

Wow. What a Beautiful store wish I had something like that where I live. 👍

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

I learn everyday: You mentioned the Nerite snail eggs? For over a year now,I've seen what reminded me of small barnacles on wood and rocks every now and then. I even thought = maybe they were always there from my reef days and I never noticed? Something doesn't add up. To hear and see you show what they do? Of course!..I added one about two years ago to the big aquarium and haven't seen it in months. Must still be alive.

[@SanelSamuel]

At 10:00 mins in the video the fish is checkerboard chiclid i guess (Dicrossus filamentosus). Awesome!!!

[@JRosa-do9ki]

Beautiful store and pond. I could spend hours there.

[@dabblingwithbonsai]

Lovely scapes and I love the bonsai-style hardscape trees (I have live ones) , so I think my favourite is the outdoor bonsai with the japanese style trees. Keep safe, keep healthy and stop touching things :D Cheers from Finland!

[@GrowingInterest]

really cool aquarium at 8:25 so dense this carpet :)

[@jokovicjanu7302]

It's a rainbow bosmani fish, which comes from a lake in Papua and there are many other types. I really enjoy your aquasqape content. I hope your channel is getting more and more famous, I hope you are always healthy too. greetings from Indonesia

[@zakifadleik]

greetings from Indonesia!! 🇮🇩 lovely channel you have here!

[@lonelywolf3209]

How neat and clean these tanks are, when i started my first planted tank it was like i had to find and search my plants in that greenish water from above the tank.

[@benscape2761]

Greetings from Indonesia. Thanks for the indonesian style shout out. 😉

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

Those were not run of the mill M.boesemani but the Red Rainbow..hard to get. Makes a planted tank perfect. Colorful fish easy to see and great plants. The Taiwan fern..once they get size nothing makes an underwater moss and fern garden better than that plant. Near impossible to get them at anything but tiny sizes and lucky for that. That's the way to live..to have all that top of the line everything,aquariums to ponds and Koi,and they MAKE YOU MONEY!,not cost you!..Perfect!

[@piumetrucco]

hi George,where can I find the aerator that I see in the video?

[@HappyPrometheus]

I think that the side next to the wall could have high rocks and plants covering the tubes, while on the other side small rocks and wood/tree with canyon like passages in the middle. Perhaps it would be helpful to draw some sketches first and to find harmonious proportions and then try to recreate it somewhat and maybe discover a new aqua-scape depending on actual pieces. On the other hand it could have a high wall of trees and rocks in the middle and then plant different plants on both sides so it looks like you have two aquariums in one depending from which side you look. Though I don't think you can train a particular fish to stay only on one side :)

[@Pohery]

9:54 is a checkerboard Chichlid Edit: Yes they are the same species the fish fish at 9:45 was a matured male. The others are juveniles and dont show any sexual diomorphism until a later age.

[@shrimshrimma1243]

George maybe you or someone else here in the comments knows. Rainbow fish seem to be one of the few fish I see regularly in a variety of shops and often several of them have quite bent/warped/linked spines. Is this just common in rainbow fish? That's one of the only reasons I steer clear of an otherwise beautiful fish.

[@anhkhoa1506]

So beautiful

[@tomelliottguitartutor1325]
