Hobbit Themed Planted Aquarium! Lord Of The Rings Aquascape

[@SimplyBetta]

What do you guys think? Do you have any fantasy aquascape ideas of your own? And is my legolas costume amazing or WHAT

[@Mir.Hammal.Baluch]

You are a legend.

[@peculiarone339]

Generally speaking, I'm not a huge fan of themed tanks buuuuuut hold-the-phone ... I may have just. Changed. My. Mind. 🤯 😲😍 Not only did you hit the ball outta the park, but your attention to detail, your patience to get it just right - only after learning how to do it, gurrrrrrl - I am sooo very impressed!! Love it!! Love the costume!! Love the fish!! Love your channel and all your amazing content!! Cheers!! PS: how does your hubby like the tank? Is it in his office yet?

[@SimplyBetta]

@Amy Marie Oh gosh thank you so much! Haha, Hobbit tank is no longer at the office - it was too hard to maintain for me we we shuffled it home :)

[@daichi_tetsurou07]

The tank so is pretty, it came out really great✨😍,good work

[@SimplyBetta]

@@daichi_tetsurou07 Thanks so much!

[@CreativePetKeeping]

You don't give yourself enough credit. This is a very complex aquascape and you pulled it off REALLY WELL! I love how huge it makes the tetras look. Bonus points for the outfit at the end haha

[@chocolabp7649]

It looks just like I imagined except the hill was taller and more greenish.

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you Kasia! You're the best

[@pamelafox5882]

Where have you been???? I hope 2019 treats you young ladies very well.🎉🎉🎊💖😎

[@cleansongmixes7298]

Kasia, even i cant do something like this! I want to make something like this but i always struggle oh well i will get there some day!

[@Lifewithpets72]

Absolutely stunning! You should enter this into the aquascaping contest. Most beautiful tank on the internet.

[@SimplyBetta]

You're too sweet!

[@isaactorres3126]

@@SimplyBetta she's right tho. You should give it a shot just for fun. Would love to see if you win or not. It's a very beautiful tank and all the effort you put into the decor is awesome!

[@TazawaTanks]

My new favorite tank...and that Legolas costume!!!! 🧝‍♂️

[@SimplyBetta]

Haha thanks Zenzo! Glad you liked it :) Legolas might be my idol

[@Rometiklan]

Beautiful set-up! One tank to rule them all! Thanks for sharing this!

[@SimplyBetta]

Haha my pleasure

[@TheFishNerd]

Holy hobbits, Batman!!!! That tank is amazing!!!!! Seriously, one of the coolest, most interesting, beautiful scapes I’ve ever seen!!! I love themed tanks and this one is straight up epic!!!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks a bunch Carlos, I appreciate it :)

[@LupDiesel]

Amazing!!! Taylor you have so much talent. What an amazing scape and the amount of work you put into it shows

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks so much! :)

[@jimmygimbal]

You were made to do this Taylor! So glad to have you apart of this family! Everything looks so great! Picked all that right plants for the scape and I’m just so amazed. Beautiful work! I love it! Shared!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank youuuuuu! I agonized over filming it, lol. I wish I was a good filmmaker like you so I could have relied on more than just auto settings! I was considering bugging you at 2am to ask questions but decided that was jerky

[@eclecticambience5389]

Best creative fish tank I have ever seen. Lord of the Rings fan here too. LOVE IT!! Eeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

[@neilwaight720]

I like how the fish played along , like they were taking a tour of the neighborhood

[@chuapcabra2011]

Literally teared up at the beginning. This is the most beautiful thing I have seen!!!

[@ShadowLynx516]

This is heaven for me. Those fish looked like they were gliding in the air!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you!

[@kfuhrman2008]

Love the detail and theme. Tank looks great. Can't wait to see the process you used to make the decor. I've been thinking of making a themed tank of the Dagobah swamp and a house a single pea puffer as Yoda.

[@SimplyBetta]

Haha that would be a fun one!!

[@annethornton9938]

OH MY GOODNESS! I only discovered you this week, and you were already becoming my favourite fish-friendly youtuber. And this, THIS project has to be my all-time favourite aquascape, aquarium setup, geek-adjacent creation EVER! (and I don't capitalize lightly). I discovered LotR when I was in grade 3, back in the mid 80s, and chose the Fellowship of the Ring based on its beautiful, evocative cover. And devoured the whole collection over the next few months, re-reading many times over the years since, and loving the eventual film trilogies. For the past six+ years I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons, and have just gotten back into fish-keeping thanks to a goldfish character. I've spent the last six months wanting to incorporate a little D&D into my upcoming tank(s). Never could I have imagined something so spectacular though, and you've inspired me to no end!

[@aprilshowers6102]

Hey Taylor!! THE MOST BEAUTIFUL part of your lord of the rings hobbit tank to me IS.... HOW HAPPY and HOW MUCH the plants are pearling!! MAN!! STUNNING!! GREAT JOB LOVE!!! Ohhh and the pearl white betta is STUNNING!!! I ALSO LOVE tahts you thought of EVERYTHING!! Right down to the tiniest details!! Like the things on the rocks to the door... The lil weights on the plants.... The signs etc!! Such a BEAUTIFUL JOB Taylor!!! IT'S BEYOND BEAUTIFUL!!! Your outro WAS the BEST I've SEEN in a VERY LONG TIME!!! Xoxoxo

[@SimplyBetta]

Haha thanks for your enthusiasm @April Showers! : )

[@burymeinplants172]

This is ridiculously awesome

[@chriskeith988]

That is awesome! And my kids and I were cracking up. Great job on the scape, so much detail!!!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks so much! Glad you guys enjoyed it :)

[@pamelapilling6996]

Incredible auquascape Taylor. Would love to see how you do the decor. I am sure your DH loves it.

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you very much!

[@ccorday]

I’m SO HAPPY that you put on a costume at the end!!! You look great and so does your aquarium. Can you do a video on sculpting underwater decorations? Even if it’s not perfect, I’d like to know how you approached it and any problems you encountered. 🐠 😃

[@TheTurtleGirl]

THE PRECIOUSSSSSSSSS......omg Taylor this is epic!!! your attention to detail really paid off, I could stare at this for hours!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks Turtle Girl!

[@synster23]

This is DEFINITELY the coolest tank I’ve ever seen!😍😍

[@SimplyBetta]

Haha thanks :)

[@laszlotresanszki7262]

The simply betta elf!! That's incredible!! Very nicely done. Looks amazing.. can't believe how much work you put into that!

[@SimplyBetta]

Haha thank you, I can't believe it either!

[@shailadysert7503]

I am in love with this tank, as a fan if the lord of the rings and the hobbit as well as keeping fish, its everything i love in one! lol. thank you for sharing!

[@kryscromwellsmit]

Looks awesome. Can't wait to see how you made the decor.

[@PizzaPaysMyBills]

This is the coolest tank ever!!!

[@aknightowl17]

I love it so much! I was also a huge lord of the rings fan and was called elfie for years. This may be the best tank I've ever seen.

[@SimplyBetta]

Glad you like it ;)

[@chelseas2884]

This is SO cool! Would love to see more of these builds in the future!!

[@SimplyBetta]

You betcha!

[@denisepollitt1021]

I'm not a LOTR's fan, I've never even seen it all the way through or picked up a book, but THIS is incredible. You are far too modest. You are a true craftswomen and a perfectionist to boot. Absolutely stunning and your videography (is that even a word?) is super too. My only complaint is that this video was too short. I could have watched that tank all day.

[@sandypelto5151]

Wow! Jaw dropper aquascape there Legolas!! Beautiful work! I think an underwater shipwreck would be cool, or a Japanese shrine with lush gardens.

[@SimplyBetta]

Haha thank you. I do really like the idea of a Japanese shrine!

[@Cgraseck]

Thranduil here, You certainly have kept a few things from us. First the B. Macrostoma and now this! Love the map over the fire. Don’t think my wife would ever let me get away with that. Tank looks great! Cheers, Chris

[@SimplyBetta]

Hey you won't know if you can get away with it until you try

[@epoxythanatos9025]

That is so cool. Rivendell would take time but would look amazing. Loveing Bilbo's house.

[@SimplyBetta]

Yeah that would be pretty ambitious! lol

[@deansfishroom]

Incredible Taylor!!! I'm going to have to watch the Lord of the Rings tonight. Oh wait I've got to get the Christmas shopping done. . . I think several follow-up videos on the how and why are in the making for you. Very well done..... .

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks a bunch Dean! :)

[@SimplyBetta]

@deansfishroom oh hey, do you know of anyone breeding macropodus hongkongensis? They’re such a beautiful paradise fish but I’m not sure where to find them

[@SimplyBetta]

@deansfishroom oh hey, do you know of anyone breeding macropodus hongkongensis? They’re such a beautiful paradise fish but I’m not sure where to find them

[@EL-iq1qg]

I absolutely adore this tank!! 😍 I wouldn't know what to suggest next-- this thing is an aesthetic masterpiece!!

[@driinun8433]

It looks so good, and it's so unique! 10/10, I'm super impressed by the decorations

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you, appreciate it ;)

[@CDawgWolfie]

This, this hands down is my all time favorite tank! It took my breath away by how homey and lush it looks. I really hope you make a tutorial on the decor some day and list out all of the plants you used. Truly remarkable

[@michaelvaldez8584]

This was amazing.... I love Lord of the Rings. Seeing this tank just makes me happy lol

[@momoscoffeebreak]

The Black Lake from Harry Potter!!!!! I honestly never got into LOTR but I can appreciate how beautiful I see everything from it is. This is amazing. I am so happy to see this! I look forward to seeing what else you do. I hope I can do something like this in the future.

[@QueAquatics]

that is an awesome tank!!! I cant wait to see how to make decor! I am so there!

[@Polyvinci]

Looks awesome. You should try some tanks with Glowlight Tetras and Bleeding Heart Tetras, too. Bleeding Hearts are a little larger, but they are spectacular, and even do little dance displays to each other.

[@andrewmcmurdo3590]

Brilliant piece of art,well done

[@mollywalker4843]

YES. AMAZING. My cats are named Kili and Vana. I named two of my bettas Merry and Pippin. This aquascape came out fantastic. I really love themed scapes (and LOTR, obviously). I'm wanting to turn one of my 5.6g into a sort of Mirkwood look. Right now it's just a holding place for a lot of plants but out of my four tanks, it's the one that has the most overgrowth and could really work. Also, loveee the costume, I've wanted to cosplay Elrond for years.

[@SimplyBetta]

I had a big crush on Elrond

[@SteenfottAquatics]

WoW............ The ending kek

[@SimplyBetta]

^^

[@scifi.ginger]

man this is the first video of yours I've ever seen but like, dope. You are a human I really admire.

[@gore1]

This is amazing! Never have I been so envious of a tank scape!

[@SimplyBetta]

haha thank you :)

[@anthonyragan2696]

This was awesome, and I say that not just because I'm a total LotR geek. Your work on the decor was amazing, especially that fence and the lettering on the sign. And Sam Gamgee himself would praise your gardening skills. 👍

[@SimplyBetta]

haha thanks a bunch! Appreciate it - that fence was a tough one to get right!

[@sunnycal2293]

This is amazing. You definitely have a lot of patience and your project was executed beautifully. I hope you give us quarterly updates.

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you! :)

[@minhthai70]

This is the best theme tank ever! Next theme tank can be something that looks like Mt. Doom!

[@sica3820]

I wish I could like this a million times! As a fellow LOTR nerd I think it's fantastic!

[@SimplyBetta]

Haha thank you! :)

[@soumendu5616]

So beautiful and creative.

[@donnamorgan144]

How cool ! Great tank idea !

[@LadyMyuu]

You are such an insperation to me! I am always talking to my husband about the amazing things you do as you raise your child and experiment with aquariam work. Someday I will try to get one of your lovely Bettas. This is amazing! The love and work you put into this project, the stubbornness you used to keep going. I love it so much. Well done! :) You look awesome also as our favorite elf archer.

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks for the kind words! :)

[@Made4more1432]

I say the same thing! This is such an encouragement to moms to not forget to do what makes them passionate too!

[@SimplyBetta]

Simply Slagle I agree with all my heart!

[@kellykelly1053]

You did an amazing job!!!! I love the tank and all your videos. I bought a Betta from my work and decided to research about Betta to make sure I take care of him properly and your videos helped so much! I bought omega one fish food and stopped feeding them the junk I was feeding them. Oh yea I got 2 more after I found out how many different kinds are out there. Lol I also feed them frozen spiralina, brine shrimp and frozen blood worms. Well thank you your videos really helped me so keep making them girl! 😊 Ill try to send you a couple pics of my 2 tanks and fish.

[@traplordadrian7053]

This came out so awesome! Love the idea!

[@Honkey-Donkey]

Wow, that is AWESOME! I am thoroughly impressed.

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you!

[@angiemiller188]

I love it. I am also a fan of Lord of the Rings, and you nailed it, girl, i would very much love to see you do another but i have no idea of what to sugest. You are very creative and should do great as you always do with anything you atempt.

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you Angela :)

[@mariahlynn3259]

Wooowww I love love loved this! Definitely should do something like this again

[@dar213311]

Looks professional to me. Stunning! And you have such a sweet demeanor and calming voice. Subscribed and looking forward to your videos!

[@chrispeters2645]

Fantastic video... I'm a huge Hobbit/LOTRs fan and I'm so impressed that you made all the models yourself. Your creativity also shows through in your use of a bottle when adding extra substrate and also in using a spare pump to agitate debris for the filter to remove. Great tips.

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

I LOVE THIS! Taylor you did an amazing job on this tank and it's obvious how much patience and hard work you put into this project. Anubias is my favorite as well😉

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you Lisa! :)

[@DylanRenke]

This looks wonderful! Looks like you put forth a lot of effort to make this look perfect! Great job!

[@SandySwauger9644]

Wow, you nailed it lady. Love this aqua-scape

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks! :)

[@theknittingrev]

So, I have been wanting to put together a hobbit tank for a while now and you might just have given me the inspiration to do it. THIS IS AMAZING!!!!

[@SimplyBetta]

Do it!

[@FridayFishFacts]

OMG!!! This is freakin amazing You’re a seriously talented film maker

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks @Friday Fish Facts! :)

[@majinmeesh]

You did AMAZING. I have that same middle earth map framed in my room. LOTR and The Hobbit are pretty much my favorite things in the world. I love this!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you! Best map ever lol. Thanks for watching :)

[@dennyclose6635]

I think you nailed it!!! Awesome tank Taylor!!!!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you!! :D

[@LonelyBlackWolf96]

Amazingly beautiful!!!! It's perfect. Although I would've added a small bench near the door.

[@hopeash1498]

[@trysarahtopps]

This is the MOST AWESOME TANK EVER!!

[@chrisobryan6673]

I love it, I’m a natural look person but this gave me some inspiration for a decorative house my 8 year old niece gave me for Christmas that I’ve been not to thrilled about using. She’s so excited for me to use it though that I have to 🤣 this tank gave me some great ideas, super cool

[@jacquimayton2466]

I am soooo happy I came across this video. I was trying to figure out how to get some lift for my 5 gallon because I'm trying to do a fairy type feel-thing. The stone wall. THANK YOU! 😊

[@SimplyBetta]

Do it!

[@Mel-mw9rj]

First of all, this is amazing!!! The best aquascape I’ve ever seen and such attention to detail! Ideas: maybe Hagrid’s Hut or the burrow from Harry Potter!

[@SimplyBetta]

I've gotten whole lot of people suggesting Harry Potter! ;)

[@DamianBloodstone]

Beautiful tank and amazing art skills. I can't wait to see how you made these items. I have a DL tank in mind, myself, as a future project.

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks a bunch and good luck! :)

[@paulmasters8666]

Amazing, you totally captured the essence of bag end. I would totally nerd out on more Middle Earth inspired builds!!!

Thanks, I'll have to make some more then! :)

[@shaymcnee2136]

Beautiful tank!!! Love the use of the water pump to stir up the gunk!! I know white clouds and neons but what are those pretty little silver with orange fins fish at 9:13??? Love them!!!
