A full pot of coffee and an hour long Adrian's fish room video! That's my morning sorted. 🇨🇦

[@AdriansFishroom]

Hope you enjoyed it! Sounds like a great morning to me. Lol.🙏❤️🇦🇺👍🏻🐶

[@maryglover8283]

With the help of your assistant Ziggy, you have created another beautiful aquarium😃🩷

[@AdriansFishroom]

Thank you very much. Yes, he is always trying to help out isn’t he?🙏🇦🇺👍🏻❤️🐶

[@pacificrider08]

I don't know how your channel ended up on my watch list, but I'm glad it did cause it's wonderful!

[@2pigdogs]

You knocked that one out of the park!!

[@AdriansFishroom]

Thanks so much, yeah, I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. It’s growing in well and I’ve had no issues with it so far fingers crossed.🙏🐶❤️👍🏻🇦🇺

I don’t know, I was worried ! Lol I’m so pleased that you’ve caught up and thanks so much for your support. I really appreciate it.🙏❤️🐶👍🏻🇦🇺

[@bernie6817]

Haa. Oh bless Ziggy. Def a daddys boy...lol. have one if them too. Lol. Awesome build Adrian. Just perfect..

[@bernie6817]

PS. Hydrocolo ? Is my fave plant. My pea puffers love it...

[@AdriansFishroom]

Yes, he definitely is. Isn’t he, he’s my constant companion whenever I’m home almost without exception. Lol so glad you have the pleasure of having one too. Thanks so much for your support.🙏❤️🇦🇺👍🏻🐶

[@mateuszx17]

Nice movie. Most of them are interesting and sometimes very relaxing. Especially when there are outdoors parts in this beautiful australian nature, besides I like also most of the tanks and their scapes that are inside the building and the whole atmosphere this outdoor and indoor nature place.

[@AdriansFishroom]

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my videos and I’m really happy that you enjoy them and find some peace and tranquility in. Thanks so much for your support 🙏❤️🇦🇺👍🏻🐶

[@booyadee]

Nice! I’m still waiting for the Paradise fish video! I’ve been breeding them for years they are definitely an under rated species. Love your videos!! Thanks!!

[@AdriansFishroom]

That’s awesome. I really appreciate you taking time to watch them and I’m definitely gonna make a video on those guys as I love them. I still have all eight alive in that pond doing well and I’d love to get some different colored ones and try and breed them so I will definitely make a video. Thanks so much for your support again.🙏🇦🇺👍🏻❤️🐶

[@darrylmoore5847]

This came out beautifully.

I absolutely love your videos, your tanks are amazing you’re so creative and your eye for detail is fantastic thank you for sharing your experience and style please keep them coming.

[@AdriansFishroom]

Thank you very much. That’s so nice of you to say and I really appreciate your support. I definitely will keep them coming as I’ve always got so much to do. Lol.🙏🐶❤️👍🏻🇦🇺

[@rrotley1]

Another fascinating video Adian, you even managed to ,make bonsai interesting. When Mrs Fishroom complains about you spending so much time in the fishroom, you can always blame Ziggy for making you stop work to throw his ball all the time. Taking the blame must be in his contract! 😁😁

[@AdriansFishroom]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate your support and that’s very true…she knows how persistent he is !! lol th ask for the idea 💡 🙏❤️👍🏻🇦🇺🐶

[@eyeballpirate5274]

Your bonsai idea looks good! I'm also interested in your water changes to your outside tubs. Keep up the great videos.

[@AdriansFishroom]

Thanks so much. I really appreciate that and yes, I plan to do a spring preparation video for my tubs and everything I have outside so I will definitely cover back. Thanks again for watching.🙏❤️🐶👍🏻🇦🇺

[@0action847]

You are gonna need a really strong light to keep the swampys alive indoors, the roots will probably fill the tank fast.But Its a great idea, and got me thinking of planting some swampys in the bottom of the tank to create a flooded forest scape to be kept outside on my bonsai bench.

[@AdriansFishroom]

Thanks so much for the message and your support. It really means a lot. I did think that with the swamp Cypress as well and I have planned to buy a grow light to hang above them, however, I was in a fishroom about one month ago, where a 3 foot swamp Cyprus was living in a 10 foot tank with nothing more than two very average downlights above it. I think they may be hardier than I first thought, however, I will definitely still get a grow light as I want them to pad up.🙏❤️🇦🇺👍🏻🐶

[@JanKelso-u2w]

Absolutely stunning!!

[@bobseehafer5414]

Adrian you are an Aquatic Artist 🍺 cheers

[@AdriansFishroom]

Oh, that’s so very nice of you to say I really appreciate it. Thank you very much for your support.🙏❤️🐶👍🏻🇦🇺

[@DkNH603]

Love your videos here in New Hampshire, USA! I was nervous siphoning water out of my tank with really small white clouds so I actually unplugged my sponge filter from the air pump and siphoned through that. I figured it would be super slow and if anything ended up getting pulled in it would get caught in the sponge. Worked out really well!

[@AdriansFishroom]

Thanks so much for your support from all the way over there, and yes, what a great idea isn’t it. I’ve used it a couple of times since And was stoked to learn that tip from Matt when he visited.🙏🐶❤️👍🏻🇦🇺

[@danl1483]

Adrian., I love the swamp tank. Can't wait to see how it matures. I think the koi guppy was a great choice for it.

[@AdriansFishroom]

Sweet ‘ and Thankyou… I’m pretty happy with it still 🙌🏻🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺🦘

[@lpoolck17]

Amazing scape. You really nailed the perspective! My preference was the negative space on the left of the tank before you sponge filter, but you still did a cracking job of that area when you decided you needed to add a sponge filter. Looking forward to seeing the tank develop and mature.

[@AdriansFishroom]

Thanks so much. I really appreciate the feedback and when I was editing the video I thought the same thing. It actually looked quite nice as a standalone Island as well. Anyway, that’s what four beers 🍻 will do to you when you’re in fishroom. Lol thank you so much for taking the time to watch. I really appreciate it.🙏🇦🇺❤️👍🏻🐶

[@lpoolck17]

@@AdriansFishroom haha, that's embarrassing for me that even after a few drinks your scapes are still miles better than the scapes I attempt when sober. Keep up the great content 🍻👍

[@MrOneWho]

An hour! I'm gonna jump in bed and watch, thank you! what a job! that's one of the best scape design's I've watched in a wile, looks amazing, i can see MD getting some inspiration from this

[@AdriansFishroom]

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate the support and the high praise but I’m not sure. MD watches my videos. Lol I would love to meet you one day and talk. Thanks, I’m looking forward to Kaity and I catching up on her latest trip where she told his studio.🙏❤️🇦🇺👍🏻🐶

[@AlDeByle]

oops, you forgot to add the fishing line. lol. beautiful tank, not sure I would have the patience to build as beautiful a tank. maybe some day I will try. For now a few rocks and plants will do.

[@AdriansFishroom]

Ha that’s so funny. I did my. I still haven’t added it either. Thanks so much for your support. I really appreciate it.🙏❤️🇦🇺👍🏻🐶

[@its_elser]

wow what a scape. love the bonsai and waterfalls. great work Adrian. my 2nd favorite tank in your room now, just behind the bowfront buce kingdom. if i could make that i would have left the top alone 100% how you have it, but underwater would have a life savings worth of buce on every cm of the rock. i would put my chilli rasboras in it. inspired me to think about trying to add a bonsai or something out the top of my next tank or rescape. i guess im going to go over and watch duthies video now. have a good one.

[@AdriansFishroom]

That’s so cool, and definitely go and check his video as I think it has been released now. I really appreciate your support and the love.🙏❤️👍🏻🇦🇺🐶

Hi Adrian.. great job on the swamp bonsai tank mate. Looks awesome!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your support and taking the time to let me know.🙏❤️🐶👍🏻🇦🇺

[@marianneh6763]

Looks great and always a treat to have an hour long video waiting to relax with after work! Love the bonsais curious to see how they grow out. I have a tank with two small ficus ginseng tree on rocks on top that I just keep trimming so it stays looking in proportion but this looks a lot more professional lol. The ficus love their roots in the water as well by the way.

[@AdriansFishroom]

Thanks so much for the cool message. I really appreciate it and your support. Yes I’m watching the Bonsai closely as they are still only under the normal lights, however, I am thinking if needed, I will buy a grow light to hang above all three tanks on that bench. Good luck with yours.🙏❤️🐶👍🏻🇦🇺

[@troy83607]

love the way the bonsai's look with the moss

[@AdriansFishroom]

Thanks, me too. It’s always been a favorite part of Bonsai for me making them blend together naturally as they had they had been there for years. Thanks so much for your support.🙏🇦🇺❤️🐶🦘

[@garageaquatics2023]

A slice right out of nature. Absolutely stunning. I always enjoy your scapes, Adrian - how they look and how you put them together. I've got to give the waterfall a go. I think I've got the tank for it. I've just got to get off my ass and do it. The swamp cypress a great! One of my favorite trees I think. I used to teach them in my old plant identification classes. There's some fantastic examples here in Southern California. I've gotten to see them too where they're native in the south-eastern US. They are spectacular growing right out of the water. And a question: what is that massive orange fish in your 8 footer? It hat a big Pleco? Awesome! Thanks for a fantastic tutorial, Mate! Cheers! ~Ron

[@AdriansFishroom]

Gday, Ron, thanks for the message and that’s so cool that you get to see the swampies full grown in their natural habitat. I’m sure some of them are amazing and the ones that I have in that tanks it up doing really well so far. To answer your question on the big orange fish, it is a golden Chinese algae eater that was given to me by Ross as he really dislikes them and I’ve had him since he was about 1 inch long. he is very cool. Doesn’t cause too many problems and stands out like dogs balls. Lol as always thanks so much for your support. I really appreciate it.🙏❤️🇦🇺👍🏻🐶

Great video Adrian once again was really interesting watching you put that tank together. Would like to ask you what product you use to glue those rocks together please ? I use normal super glue gel but find it goes white and looks awful.

[@AdriansFishroom]

Gday mate, the glue I used in that video was JAG aquascape glue but I’m going to try the new product from jacks at mad aquariums next time so I will show that and the results in a future video for sure. (Throw some crushed rock or sand on it before it dries and that hides most of the white as a tip )🙏❤️🇦🇺🐶👍🏻🦘💪🏻

[@iamthereddevil5561]

@@AdriansFishroom Thanks Adrian much appreciated and keep the great vid's coming .

[@jukehousejohnny]

Adrian, how do you intend on giving the cypress their cold period over the winter? I’ve been relegated to using ficus primarily in my aquabonsai tanks as my winters are just cold enough to solid freeze a smaller aquarium.

[@AdriansFishroom]

Hey, thanks for the great question. Believe it or not even when kept outside here the swampy don’t usually drop their leaves until the last week of winter. I naturally pluck off all of the leaves when I have the time to give them a shorter enforced dancy period. I think I will do the same insight with these ones. They have been grown outdoors for two years and as you can see, they still didn’t drop their leaves. Great question thanks so much for support. I really really appreciate you taking the time to watch the videos and comment.🙏❤️🇦🇺👍🏻🐶
