Where did you get those rocks?

[@johncraft8789]

I love your voice and the way you described the aquariums awesome keep up the good work

[@cal6610]

Thank you for clearly describing your system and how you took care of it from the beginning. You are creating future landscapers - and not frustrated algae farmers.

[@Therealkalejuice]

A large school of pseudomugil luminatus would look great in that tank. They are very underrated fish that you will never get bored of, they get wild colours and have amazing fin pattern that fan out.

[@Aquagold.goldysingh1313]

So amazing tank...plants are fabulous and beautiful...all things are go Beautiful in this tank ..

[@williammcdowell6257]

Thanks George - these internals I've used, I found them very hard to dismantle when in-situ and the amount of filter foam is very modest. Lighting and cabinet looks good.

[@philiptata3607]

I have this tank and I completely agree that whilst well-made, this filter has two little firm and gets clogged quite easily. I’m therefore upgrading to a BioMaster 350 Thermo, which should do a much better job and removes the unsightly internal filter.

[@sunnytexan007]

Love the scape,my suggestion for the fish would be Gertrude's Spotted Blue Eye Rainbowfish The blue eye and flickering fins will make them pop in the black backdrop and beautiful scape.

[@terrywilliams5810]

Hi George, very nice video of the new oase . Lots of explanations as always.,

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks mate

[@TheDevilcup]

CPD is really shy, i have them in my 75litre Tall, i do not have much hardscape. They really like to hide behind the small scape i have in the tank. Saw some Emperor Tetra in my LFS, i think it will definitely look nice in your tank. Have been watching your video for sometime since late last year. Purpose is to learn how to get my plant grow well and get rid of algae. I have learn a lot from you. Thank you for all the wonderful information you have shared, it has really help me to understand more.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@MarkusGehlhaar]

Thank you. Can't wait to see an update video. Maybe you can show us a weekly water change and what it takes to maintain this nice little aquarium

[@turnipsucks6416]

Great intro. Been awhile since I've tuned in. But that intro is top notch.

[@gazyg1973]

What a great contrast of the rock and green totally awsome 👍👍

[@philcarlino6942]

Black or red phantom tetras are a shoaling fish that are taller bodied and I think they’d stand out amongst all the green. Another great layout, George. Stay safe!

[@jamescottle3418]

Ive added White cloud mountain minnows, and cherry red shrimp...they seem to work together, and the white clouds love shoaling about. They happily swim from top to bottom of tank.

[@ddmiddle777]

Hey George! I think a school of Hatchetfish would look very cool in there! Another beautiful, great scape!!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Dereck

[@2131ukdavid]

Looks amazing, please can you do an update video of this tank?

[@GrowingInterest]

Very cool single rock Scape 💚

[@davidbaker6382]

Great scape George as usual. Great to see that an 'off the shelf' low energy system can work so well. I love to see Cardinal tetras and Rummy nose tetras, bit I think a betta would look really great in that tank. all the best.

[@adamskyakwarystyka9773]

I cant good speak English, so i dont understand everything you say but the aquarium is very climatic. This great rock immediately catches the eye :)

[@newmexicoaquatics282]

Awesome. I just set up a low-tech iwagumi 2 days ago! Thanks for sharing. Cherri-O! - Little Bobby

[@bradscapes8705]

I think some Black Skirt Tetras would look amazing in there!

[@ezwaters5847]

Agree that black skirt tetras would look really cool. Although completely out of left field, it would be really interesting to see a pair of dwarf cichlids like apistogramma in there also.

[@prayagtablet1245]

Yes these fish are beautiful.

[@HeRo-qd6tk]

Very nice. I would like to see orange fish. Would look great with the color scheme. Maybe amber tetras. Take care 🌸

[@JordanTait95]

This looks absolutely amazing!! I think checkered barbs would look amazing in this a very underrated fish and look amazing when in a group 👌

[@thecricketude]

Really cool video......... Loved it......

[@NYCityCichlids]

Beautiful!

[@birrellchris]

Ember Tetras or other nano fish 😁 Beautiful George, as always. 👍👍

[@volteface69]

Merci pour cette vidéo George !!! 👍👍👍

[@nathanbull7790]

How do George, I'll probably comment again at the end, but before I watch what I already know I'm going to love.... imagine if there was a small arowana type fish, just a dragon like fish moving over the tiny picture of a Japanese landscape you created! And here I am Haha, I like that you have used the easy plants mate, I recently set up a grow out tank upstairs, and pretty much most of the plants you have used are stocked in pets at home (I know I know, pets at home!). In all honesty i prefer to get them from them because in most fish stores, although they stock tropica... they are usually all in a plant holding tank. Every time I end up with that 1 snail that reproduces like crazy! But the point for me for the grow out tank kind of relates to your idea of not needing to go crazy. If you know you are going to be setting up a new big scape soon, rather than spenind fortunes on plants, set up a tank to plant a few of each species and propagate. An old 60 litre with 6 different plants, a light and one of those cheap cow kits has grown like crazy and I have been able to trim and replant the stems at least 3 times in the past few weeks. Thanks again mate for a cool vid.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Cheers mate

[@TriniFishHobbyist]

Tank looks awesome.... would love to see about 2-3 different types of tetras.... contrasting colours. They stay small and the schooling behavior will look fascinating in that tank. 🇹🇹👍🏼

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks

[@thomashoggarth1090]

Beautiful scape George. I'd introduce a group of celestial Pearl danios to that scape. I think the grey blue body with red highlights on the fins would fit brilliantly.

[@sasai6991]

Celestial Pearl Danio Nice job George...

[@gardian1701]

Awesome vid. I wish I could share a pic of my 100 gallon low tech walstad. It's heavily planted with a big cheap sunsun filter and a couple of cheap aquarium lights on timers. 👌

[@lisaosaduik2502]

Lovely scape, I'm thinking galaxy rasbora

[@slinkyscapes8530]

The colours of the Galaxy Rasboras will really pop against that darker background.

[@CREATIVESWAN11]

Very nice and natural feelings.

[@markcox813]

I think lemon tetras would look great in there with the black background and the cherry shrimp.

[@christophm.]

Galaxy rasboras are my favourite small fish by now. Planning my next scape to be fitting for their needs! Keep on scaping :)

[@Duaneschannel]

Rummy nose tetras would be a nice little pop for this tank!

[@littlenightbird6341]

Do i need a mat under the aquarium ?

[@chelmsford6774]

Looks great as usual George. Maybe Bleeding heart Tetras, Emperors, or Lemon.

[@nicolebachmann5165]

Love the tank n just want to say I'm wat hing alot of you channel n I'm from the usa n love the fact the you tell us about feet n gallon when talking about tanks . Instead of me googling centimeters etc. Lol. Hope all is well stay safe.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Nicole

[@patrickn.7669]

White fin tetras are pretty tall fish for their relatively small size. Awesome appeirence too

[@nicmedakovic]

Hi george, mint video! Cherry barbs, seeing as you don't have any and they would look good in consrast to the black background, OR purple harlequin rasboras! Keep the videos coming 👍🏼

[@kelvinlee342]

Hi George, Staurogyne repens tend to melt. Would like to seek your guidance and will stem re-grow after melting. Thanks and awaits your feedback.

[@nathanrefalo8353]

Love yours vids

[@mvhpets]

Hey George! I would love to see some neon tetras in the tank! It would look great

[@benn0-d8n]

Love the scape! I think some Harlequin Rasboras would look really cool!

[@disartdisart5613]

Maybe some clàssic neon tetra?

[@shadyrecords3.0]

Hi George i got some hair grass and dwarf sage can i plant them together to form a carpet or do a need to have it separated

[@theohouben4680]

Nice aquascape George. I set up my new Oase StyleLine 125 about 6 weeks ago and still suffering with algae especially on the windows. I discovered that the internal Oase filter is a real shrimp killer and I'm thinking about to replace it with a internal Juwel Bioflow super filter.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll also let Oase know about the filter 👍

[@dopey_duck_944]

I think black neon tetras would look epic in there

[@RMJ-94]

Electric blue rams?

[@rp101aquatics6]

celestial pearl danios would look super cool in it

[@marcg6124]

I would love to see a few dwarf neon rainbowfish (Melanotaenia praecox) in it.

[@dominicdimarino7641]

George, do you ever deal with brown diatoms!? All of you scapes look so amazing regardless of their age! Well done again, sir!!

[@sarpijk]

Hi George! Another's great video! How about a big school of Pygmy corydoras? Alternatively Pseudomugil Furcatus!

[@philiptata3607]

I love the build and quality of this tank, which I have in black. You’re right the lighting unit is a good one and generates 1800 lm which gives an approximate rate of 24 lm/ litre, which I guess Tropica would accept as being in the “medium“ range of light intensity. Therefore, I assume it will ‘work’ with their plants that are rated as “medium“, especially with CO2 injection. As previously mentioned, the weak spot has been the internal filter, and there is a rather provocative well known/religious KZbinr who points out the limitations of this filter and then adapts the design and fills it with his proprietary bio media.

[@danielchodera7045]

Hi, is really volume of this aquarium 75 litres (20 gallons)? Everywhere is that dimensions of the aquarium are 50cm x 36 cm x 42cm. Because the aquarium has the cover (I think around 7 cm high) the volume can not be 75 litres (gallons) if the dimensions are right. Thank you very much for your answer.

[@connorfleming4008]

I'd like to see you possibly use some curviceps, something totally different to what you normally do. They would suit the light.

[@davidbowman2501]

Pea puffers, celestial pearl danios, cardinal tetras, or ember tetras. I'd also add some Otocinclus if you choose any of the tetras.

[@vinvinmega]

I love your new Videos 😍🔥 keep up!

[@LuisRomero-xt3be]

Like a miniature loving walk on There!

[@jamescottle3418]

Mr Farmer...i know u plugging Oase but... i put cherry red shrimp in.... i wondered where they were going....ive just had to rescue 6 out of the filter and 3 others dead.

[@jjchmiel78]

First time seeing one of your videos. Love the scape! You already have red in the tank with the cherry shrimp. They will breed like crazy and give you plenty of spots to look at. Yellow seems to be rare in fish and Lemon Tetras look gorgeous when healthy. So I vote Lemon Tetras.

[@54Howie]

Scape is looking good George I think Black Phantom Tetra might go well

[@fahn777]

I think Von Rio or lemon tetras would look great in that tank!

[@shrimshrimma1243]

Maybe something like a lemon tetra? Once they mature they get quite a nice deep body, few flecks of colour, school nicely. Quite playful little fellas.

[@rte64rte]

Looks beautiful. For fish in there you could go really simple and do just Rasboras, to make it more interesting maybe do a couple of different ones.

[@daniisawesome94]

Great vid george!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 😊

[@microcox]

I'd say lemon tetras? Or in another style, Corydoras pygmaeus are less shiny but tremendously fun to watch (think of a little tribe of Tobys in your tank 😋). Also kudos for the environmental shout-out. Really appreciate it. As an ecologist I often wonder what I can do to enjoy my hobby without destroying nature. It's hard to get information. Would be great to get a dedicated video on that 👍 Really great scape, I like the easy but enjoyable style you follow these days. Really inspiring. Cheers !

[@ADaiiintheLife]

you could do skirt tetras

[@ahmedelsheikh9079]

Beautiful scape , I think cherry barb

[@mohdnazwanbinmustafa9411]

Hi george! Of course i will go for my fav fish ever, galaxy rasbora! 😂 Eventhough, the brigittae family would be quiet nice for the scape especially the chilis rasboras. The red of it will pops when they are contract with the black scape n the bright stones.

[@jordanosmond6847]

You should definitely add the green/pink toned Rosy Barb in here. Super metallic, look amazing next to the black background and they don’t need a lot of light to have a good colour pay off.

[@MichaelSmith-ol6ks]

Does this tank come with the rear glass blacked out or is that something you've done yourself?

[@anthonymeekings1652]

You have mentioned using Rainbow fish before so how about Dwarf Neon Rainbows or Threadfin Rainbows.

[@greglikesthesens]

Should put some Endlers in there, would make that main rock feel huge

[@Shostakovich33]

Is this a large enough setup for a Betta?

[@johnvincenti5805]

George, I chose a medium (qty. 13) school of Cardinal Tetras for your tank.

[@kathiravankumaran1092]

I would suggest dwarf neon rainbow fish and serpae tetras.

[@darrylmoore5847]

I love this tank set. Your scape is beautiful as always. I think serpae tetra would be lovely agents the rock work and green plants.

[@jimle8444]

Beautiful system

[@BOBtoper]

Shooling small tetras

[@heavyrain5237]

As popular as the galaxy rasbora is, I recently bought emerald rasbora, and I think they are gorgeous! Please consider using these!

[@KDiGee]

Black skirts? Serpaes?

[@waldo8716]

Might be a bit big for what you want but Red Shiner or Odessa Barb would be good colours

[@petervandieren]

I love to see a school of Aphyocharax anisitsi or Boehlkea fredcochui in that tank.

[@jamessmith7981]

Maybe consider Debauwi Catfish, schoal together well and display great movement which will compliment the dynamic appearance of the tank

[@b3bandit]

Hey George, just wondering how you decide between using Tropica Premium or Specialized liquid ferts in a given aquiscape? As always loving the videos, aquiscaping content and advice.

[@mardaver]

b3bandit that’s a good question. I think Tropica refers to fish stocking/bioload...premium for higher bioload and specialized for lower bioload aquaecapes. I would love to hear George’s input, though.

[@b3bandit]

All good George found the answer i was looking for in one of your previous Q&A videos on fertilizers in the planted tank back i March of this year.

[@AAaaaaqua]

Some blue king terta imo.. half-hour to build a cabinet? bringing you to my next ikea party for sure lad... nice vid :D

[@MHAquaticsUK]

Wow need to learn to scape like that, I struggle with a simpler hardscape and getting height in my aquarium

[@markaldridge8947]

Melanotaenia praecox would look awesome in this tank!

[@jessemunnik2677]

Beautiful scape George! What about some Hyphessobrycon Sweglesi or Megalopterus?

[@dcholloway]

Thanks for another great video George. I have a question on maintenance.. After the first 3 weeks do you go down to dosing fertiliser once a week too? My concern is regarding when on family vacations where we’re typically away for 10-14 nights? Also what do you recommend for fish feeding in this instance. It would be great to see a video on this 🙂. Thanks, David

[@martynaspetraitis6558]

Tetra Von Rio would look amazing in there...

[@johnvincenti5805]

My second choice is a school of green neon tetras, third choice is 3 diamond tetras with a school of rummy nose tetras.

[@naturedo2]

Would the hood on this support a fully grown cat jumping onto it from the floor?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Yes

[@javicortes5699]

Hey, George. Greetings from Spain. I'd like to ask you a question. In your videos I've seen that you work with TWINSTAR screens. Can these screens be used in low tech aquariums?. What's the secret? these screens have a lot of light, for plants used in these aquariums. Should we lower the intensity to use this sreeens or maybe use some nutrient-consuming plant? thanks

[@aquaind6447]

Discus or angel fish, great scape 👍 indonesia🇮🇩

[@JKPlantation]

A small school of angelfish would look great in there!

[@markym12364]

i would say rummy nose tetras would look great in there
