BIG UPDATE ON MY BEST AQUARIUM - NEW FISH AND PLANTS

[@jenpink4298]

I really don’t know how you keep making changes and this tank gets better and better. I love the new fish and those lotus are beautiful! It’s just stunning, one of my absolute favorite tanks ever!❤

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Aw, thanks Jen. Grateful for your feedback 🙏😃

[@KippyBippy50]

This is definitely my all-time favorite tank. So beautiful, so serene, absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thank you 🙏

[@elune43749]

the size of the wendtii is insane, i've never seen them so tall, well done for keeping this tank healthy for so long george

[@davidjones5178]

Love the angel fish.

[@Chompchompyerded]

I fully agree with you about fish in their natural colours. The tank is quite lovely. What more is there to say, other than I wish my scapes were this beautiful?

[@dan7872]

@George, great update! Can you please make a video on plant families, what experiences you had with them, maybe a short tutorial on how to pick and combine them for an easier maintenance?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks for the idea! 🙏

[@MrWanchaleom]

One of my most favorite tanks on YT. The color scheme of the plants and the fishes is amazing. 😍

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Cheers! 😊

[@jodip719]

This tank is stunning and I love the blue angels!

Thanks 🙏

This is really a stunning set up 👋👋

Thanks 🙏

Hello from Arizona in the states George, hop you and your family are well. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thank you very much!

[@kwackytankslap9339]

I love a well established crypt. They're so rewarding to look at once they've matured.

[@sanshine5128]

Its stunning, George. Just beautiful, and good fish choice. Dont tear it down ever...

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thank you. It’s been tempting to replace the tank with the HighLine 600 but I realised it’s just another example of being victim to the consumerism culture and hedonistic treadmill. So it stays.. 🙏

[@sanshine5128]

@@GeorgeFarmerStudios I agree 100%. I know its about the journey but we have to enjoy this perfect ecosystem and let it do its gorgeous thing. It will let you know in time when it needs a makeover...🙏🫶

[@simianlife5949]

When I upgrade to a bigger tank and CO2, this tank might be my inspiration for its style and fish selection. I already loved the bigger tetras, especially the blueberries, but the angels and embers really kinda put the whole thing on another level. Thank you, George, for your always sharing your thoughts on maintenance and mental health--helps me every day!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

I’m happy you like it and it provides comfort too! 🙏💚

[@darrenderousse4804]

It looks amazing George! The plant growth is beautiful 👏🔥 Great choice with the lotus!

It's amazing how long you kept this scape. I remember rescaping mine to echinodorus heavy inpired by your Red Diamond echinodorus. Early this year I rescaped again and yet you're still the same. Every plant looks healthy and lush.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

@@MySupra86 cheers mate 🙏

[@cathyhendrix7552]

Stunning tank. And the combination of fish that you have works so well together. Of course I could be biased because blue is my favorite color. And I've been on the hunt for some of the blueberry tetras for a while. I will find some. I just think their shimmering colors are so striking that I could watch them for hours. Thanks for sharing your bit of heaven with us. ☺️

[@onlywei]

I think a tank with all the smaller rainbowfish would be amazing! Melanotaenia Praecox, Melanotaenia Parva, Melanotaenia sp. “Kali Tawa”.

[@Lilyflowergirl98]

Beautiful tank. Love all the different fish, didn't think you could put angels with ember tetra, my embers are with badis and neon gobies. I found them really shy with anything else. Lovely to see them darting about and not hiding

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

I guess the bigger the tank and more dense the planting the better in cases of potential predation 💚

[@pieterboersma5518]

Magic tank ❤

[@mikeinca3762]

All the scapes are amazing at George’s Casa! Love the videos as well! Very serine!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Cheers mate ! 🙏💚

[@jmaquascaping]

Hey George! Hope all is well. This layout is spectacular. I love the fish selection. Never saw angels like yours. Love that you are taking advantage of the lid with the hatchetfish. Inspires me. I haven’t kept community tank in so long. maybe its time?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Cheers mate! Community tanks provide a different vibe that’s more relaxed and suitable for long term enjoyment and fun, in my experience. Larger tanks obviously offer so many combination options too!

[@gbaquascaping63]

Love this tank. That level of healthy is not easy to achieve. And i prefer this classic concept without obsession with the scale like modern dioramas, because you can use big leaves rossete plants in the maximum potential, like this case Regards from Chile Guillermo Barrientos

Thank you 🙏

So much color ❤

[@ShooterMcGavin5.56]

Love this tank George! Crypts are my favorite plant right now, but I’m finding it a bit awkward trying to incorporate them into my scapes. Do you have a video of you scaping this tank?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

There’s a playlist dedicated to this tank but unfortunately to build of this actual scape as it’s kinda evolved since day one from the same hardscape as the discus layout.

[@ShooterMcGavin5.56]

@@GeorgeFarmerStudios Okay thanks!

[@MorningDriftwood]

Beautiful aquarium. Love the tetras.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thank you!🙏

Many thanks 🙏

Iv never been a fan of non wild type angles but those are stunning

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Agreed 😊

Mr. Farmer I need some of these blue angels across the pond goodsir!

[@vijayjoseph8164]

Amazing work, George! I always love your aquascape. Could you please share your fertilizer of the scape?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thank you. Ferts are Tropica and Oase mixed into the same bottle (they’re my sponsors)

[@vijayjoseph8164]

@@GeorgeFarmerStudios Thank you, George!

[@RussellChilds]

Beautiful!! Wow!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thank you! 😊

[@ianparking]

It's just a proper scape Love it It's also living art whats better than that?

[@ASMRkiddo]

I get what you did with the discus- big fish in an aquarium are much harder to keep alive when left for holidays etc compared to more smaller fish in my experience anyway...

[@BRV.Fischtank]

Can you please leave a list of what plants you have in the aquarium.

[@GuacamoleKun]

What is that lovely speckled plant in the middle?

[@Beeblebroxxx253]

Could you tell me which plants you have used in that bush on the left side behind the root (at about min 6:22). I love the look and def will try to redo that in my scape.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Mix of Crypts. Mainly Cryptocoryne undulatus “Broad Leaf” and various wendtii variants 🌱

[@Beeblebroxxx253]

@@GeorgeFarmerStudios Thanks for the answer. Another one: Did you plant them in one bulk to create that look?

[@marios.discus]

Awesome tank George, loved the story telling as well 😊. Question though, in what range do you keep the PH since using CO2?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks! I’ve never tested the pH or CO2 actually but I’d guess pH around 6.8-7, and CO2 25ppm

approximately how many fish in there? beautiful combinations

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Around 60 😊

[@DeanLynch-m9o]

Great tank but no need for any fertiliser or chemical

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Plants require fertiliser to maintain optimal health. Either through their roots or leaves, or both. All living things need a source of nutrients. 😊

[@DeanLynch-m9o]

Manufacturer's want u to believe that a balanced tank needs needs nothing

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

@@DeanLynch-m9o We will have to agree to disagree. In a high energy system with so much nutrient demand from high light and CO2 injection I’ve found the plants suffer considerably without sufficient exogenous nutrients. I agree that low tech systems can thrive without, however. 😊
