This video is visually stunning and the mucus is perfect. I could watch all day.

[@andreagalda28]

*music, not mucus lol

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

@@andreagalda28 Haha, I got what you were saying and thank you!

[@stoneysscapes7544]

This just makes me want to have a never ending sequel , and I realize it's not even conceivable to get my wish but Damn Gavin you sure know how to bring out the best of being one of many friends in with the fish!! ▶️

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

Actually that's not a bad idea. Foo the flowerhorn did exactly that and it worked beautifully. I'll definitely consider it!

[@jamespond7496]

Very well done Sir. A real living and breathing ecosystem.... good choice in lighting the HLC.

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

It took me a moment to register the cleverness of your name and then I had a good chuckle. Love it! Thanks for your nice comments 🙂 "Pond, James Pond." Cue soundtrack.

[@Taladrane]

Amazing footage and a beautiful aquarium. Keep it up!

[@1whiterabbit333]

What a cool video! I really enjoyed watching it, and now I’m feeling brave enough to trim back my overgrown shrimp tank! Thank you!

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

Haha that's awesome! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@IHEARTINDIA]

Great Video Gav, it's so cool to see how your aquarium, and its inhabitants, are coming along.

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

Jarr, you still have this account! Nice. Let's connect soon! Been too long.

[@IHEARTINDIA]

@@GavinKohAquascaping Absolutely. Just let me know when you're free.

[@margaretshaw1890]

What a fun, lively video. Great story telling and videography! Your planted tank is gorgeous! Now I'm wanting my own aquarium 😅

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

Thank you. Don't let me stop you from getting one. It is all it is cracked up to be 😃

[@poppyleduc8582]

Another wonderful video by Mr. Koh. Fascinating to see how his aquarium has developed.

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

Thanks so much for your nice words!

[@joshmac5887]

I like this storytelling style in this video. It really captures the imagination of life in an aquarium. Well done!

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

Thanks Josh! I'm trying out storytelling and honing my skills. Not easy, but satisfying when it comes together.

[@sydneysangels]

This scape is just teaming with life. I absolutely love it! Great job on the video, it was a joy to watch 😊

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

Have you done a full overhaul of your planted aquarium? Was it as exhausting for you as it was for me? 😂

[@ReadyAquarium]

Nice, i like the use of a coffee filter to clean the surface. Love the shrimps there you got a pretty large colony they look amazing and the colors are awesome. What are you planning for background plants?

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

Thanks! Good spot on the coffee filter! It makes for a great surface cleaner. I'm just replanting the same plants back in there. It's all grown back as of this publishing haha!

[@nichewarrior5913]

Those worms in the snail shell, what are they? I've seen them in other areas of my aquarium too. Very cinematic video. I think my tank is in need of a trim and replant too.

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

I honestly have no idea. I'll have to look it up.

[@madmax1412]

Love the video. Amazed you've got such a large shrimp colony considering you have tetras, although I guess there were plenty of hiding spots for baby shrimp where they couldn't reach. A clue of questions though 1) love your air stone and how fine the bubbles are. What make/brand is it and do you recall where you bought it. 2) The plant you are trimming at the 4:31 mark - what is that called, please? Thanks

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

Thanks so much. The plant I'm trimming is Limnophilia Sessiliflora. It is the one I was replanting back in the tank. The air stone is listed in the links in the description. It is a Hygger Nano Airstone with super fine bubbles. I do very much like the small bubbles compared to the cheap normal air stones, which seem like someone is blowing bubbles through a straw lol. Interestingly enough, the Tetras have not touched the shrimp at all. I've watched them for hours and they completely ignore the tiniest of babies. Even those hovering right in front of their mouths haha. However, I'm sure everyone has slightly different experiences.

@@GavinKohAquascaping Thank you for your quick reply.

[@madmax1412]

@@GavinKohAquascaping Hi Gavin, sorry, I meant the one at the front left of the tank that look like 4 leaf clover. Sorry for the confusion.

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

@@madmax1412 Oh, that is Hydrocotyle Tripartita Japan. Otherwise known as Moneywort.

[@madmax1412]

@@GavinKohAquascaping Champion. Thanks for getting back to me. I'm in the process of tidying up on of my 69cm tanks and starting a 180cm tank so it's nice to see various plants and how they look in an aquarium.

[@davidanderton2437]

That is a lot of CO2

[@GavinKohAquascaping]

That's just an air stone 🙂
