Making a Serene Waterfalls Mini Ecosystem Lake (Feeder Goldfish Sanctuary)

[@SerpaDesign]

I am so excited to finally have this done! It feels like we've been planning and working on it forever now. I'm excited to show you how it evolves over the years and how the fish will enjoy it. Stay tuned for more and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

[@holemajora598]

You guys did an awesome job! And you know they will be using the paper trick for now on.

[@eggcartonman3804]

I wouldn’t exactly call it mini

[@AlexMC7528]

its amazing how there is so much detail but it looks so beautiful and natural.

[@jimmyhughes5392]

if you are able to absorb the loss in revenue from not putting a video out then don't worry about putting them out so much, you do you and we will continue to be happy with whatever you give us. Don't feel pressured to satisfy us every week.

[@OanKnight]

These videos are phenomenal. The UK is so small and the economy so different that your income bracket would have to be substantial to be able to afford the space and resources to achieve this. Truly, I'm jealous.

[@NicoleSchultz0921]

Something I can't get over is how up to 40 people were spotting moss and collecting it in buckets for you while working on this project. That's just wholesome; I wish I had friends like that. Breathtaking pond though!

[@father_mae_i]

I know, that was so sweet! "Oh, you like moss! Here's some buckets full of it"

This is absolutely beautiful! The fact that you brought your first frog into this makes it magical. You put alot of love into this and it shows.. Its amazing! THANK YOU

I’m not sure what is more beautiful, the pond or your desire to create a beautiful home to honor and care for fish that most people consider disposable and unworthy of care. Thank you for all that you do.

[@MegaMaddydog]

I think this is the most beautiful pond ever. These beautiful Goldfish are special. I have one goldfish which I rescued but will need a pond soon. I wish I could have a pond for him in my back yard or donate him to someone having a nice pond. Take care. Great video. ❤️

[@alpoh]

Even throughout all of this chaos, you can really tell how much Tanner loves creating these things. You can see the joy and excitement on his face. This is definitely where he is at home. Creating beautiful things with amazing people that love it just as much as he does.

[@morganw.4711]

Everyone gathering moss for you is so heartwarming and wholesome. This whole project is such a dream- you’re going to love this for years to come. I also love common and comet goldfish! I’m so happy to see you caring for these lovely, friendly fish.

[@michaelrae9599]

That may be the most natural looking waterfall I have ever seen. The addition of the wood and especially the stumps are just so next level. All those pond guys learned a ton of design (and technique) and are all gonna deliver the best pond in their area. I can't wait for the update video.
