Making a fish tank with driftwood collected from a dam

Thank you for watching! It's a craft video this time. I've been wanting to make a bigger tank for my betta fish for a while and I finally made it with driftwood I collected at a dam! From next time, it'll be food/cooking video again. :)

I mean, a lot of people who are interested in aquaculture go to these lengths. It's one of those things where if you do it right, it will reward you. Additionally, a proper setup like this is beautiful to look at. It can be said that there are a lot of people who consider fish easy to keep. But there are quite a few people who really invest themselves in building a living work of art that they can admire.

[@shannonkaiser7275]

I watch both Rachel's and Jun's videos, and something that amuses me is how different their styles are. Jun's are well structured, feature relaxing tunes, well trained kitties, and Jun being informative and educational. Rachel's, upbeat, peppy music, random chaos of cats misbehaving, and Rachel bumbling her way through the project.

2:30 It's so funny (and painful) to imagine that Jun had actually spent that entire 6 hours walking around the house hunched over with Haku on his back. Doing chores, working at his desk, chilling with Rachel and the other cats...meanwhile, King Haku is just casually grooming himself or passed out spreadeagle.

I have a tiny little 10 gallon beta tank. Sometimes you can buy wood at the store that's dense enough and it sinks right away. One time I had to stick a piece of wood in a tupper wear for a month and it STILL didn't sink. I finally just put it in the tank with something ugly to weigh it down. I had to test it every week to see if it finally got water logged or not lol.

​@@gabelouey kinda in between an riparium and aquarium. Riparium means you are creating the river bank which this isn't. So this is an aquarium.

This is the second time I watch this video and I simply love it. I realized that in order to grow all those luscious plants and hair grass you have to wait a while before you put you fishes in it. Otherwise trying to grow hair grass in your established tank can be quite challenging especially if you have Corydoras.

[@ModelsExInferis]

I miss my days of fishkeeping, used to really enjoy it. Any type of catfish were my favourites, I had all sorts! Sadly had to stop as my health conditions don't allow me to do the heavy lifting of buckets of water anymore. It is good seeing the younger generations taking fishkeeping seriously though and not just keeping a fish in an empty bowl just to got round and round and round. They need stimulation as much as any other animal! What you've provided here is excellent! Good job Jun, I'm well impressed!

[@olliek6709]

I want Jun to upload an hour long video of just the fish tank to put on in the background when i study, its so relaxing to watch! Also this build reminds me of SerpaDesign and i think its great that you put so much care into a tank for smaller fish species, because they can be neglected pretty often but theyre just as cool.

I made little disks of brown yarn and stitched blue yarn on them, then sewed them onto the hat.
