Neon tetra

[@BlakeOfTheJones]

Bosemani rainbows, or neon tetras with a Ram pair, either electric blue or gbr... Love the scape though! Can't wait to see what you decide on

[@nigga12665]

best suggestion is to get neon tetras. like make it a species only tank with a huge school of neons. or add a pair of rams with the neons. will look really cool

[@Raisin_Girl]

I've kept dwarf rainbowfish in a long tank with good flow. They love to school and play in a tank like that. They do color up nice when they grow and the blue silver flash would really pop in that scape imho. They get on and look great with neon tetras too

[@helenchambers9357]

Looking good, love the emersed plants. Would love to see green neons, the colour is far nicer than standard neons in my mind, a group of corys and at least one pair of dwarf cichlids - Apistogramma cacatuoides Orange would really stand out.

[@kubkeee]

Beautiful scape, I would put in some kuhli fish just because they are really cool.

[@nigeljnsen]

A small harem of Bolivian Rams or Apistogramma together with a larger school of pencil fish and maybe a group of corydoras in the bottom part!😁😁😁

[@MJAquascaping]

Yesss that sounds awesome! 😎

[@nickbleggi1457]

Beautiful! I’ve always wanted to try an emersed style tank. Can’t wait to see how it looks in a couple months

[@jorritmeijer2000]

Nannostomus beckfordi - Pencilfish, has beautiful colors and great behavior (sparring males)

[@MJAquascaping]

I do love pencilfish!

[@SlickNick3]

The big shallow looks so much better with hardscape coming out the top! It makes the aquarium look bigger using all that space above! Looks like an awesome home for some Apistos 😜

[@wrona-ry2ey]

MJ just to you know This is your best tank so far Just telling the true excellent🥳

[@MJAquascaping]

Thank you!

[@trak957]

WOW, mark I think you have really outdone yourself with this scape its absolutely stunning cant wait to see it with the fish ... a fabulous job!

[@wrona-ry2ey]

Super cool

[@boltman1974]

Wow this scape has turned out to be an incredible piece. Really love the minimal amount of planting as it doesn’t take away from the hard scape…perfect balance. I think Ember tetras or even cherry barbs would look amazing in this scape. Great work as always mate 👍

[@MJAquascaping]

Thanks so much!

[@dietere.puchta9688]

Rotkopfsamler (Hemigrammus bleheri), Mikrogeophagus ramirezi, just as examples from Amazon. Very nice and lovely aquarium 🙂

[@dandaman83]

this is your best scape yet! all are great but this i like! Kinda motivating me to rescape one of mine again! I just did a natural tank and it is amazing, so satisfying looking at you're own little natural ecosystems

[@fatflyin]

About that cloudiness... I suggest to try Seachem Purigen, worked for me.

[@BloodyEditror]

AMAZING! Love it... You turned a shalow planted tank into a super natural looking riverbed. I think a nice school of Corydoras pygmaeus would do the job.

[@minajqueen2139]

This so magical simplisticly beautiful in the best way !!! ✨✨would definitely recommend adding Ruby barbs ✅

[@luiswicho5301]

The aquascape is awesome. However I'd definitely put more plants underwater, like anubias and buces. Anyway, it's up to you. Cheers.

[@greggc68]

I think the cloudiness is just an extra large bacterial bloom. There's a lot of organic matter (wood) there and it just has to run it's course. It will go away on it's own.

[@MJAquascaping]

Yeah it's almost gone already!

[@KurisuBonsai]

Came here to say the same, bacteria just free floating rn (especially as your dosing them too) it will go zing before too long.

[@diedine2241]

Nannostomus rubrocaudatus. The Aquascape looks soooo good. I Love it.

[@karlknaack7212]

Fish: my Idea World be Espes oder Espei Rasbora or known as Trigonostigma Espei, very contrasting and beautiful fish.

[@jasoncarty2175]

What an awsome scape mark,love it,it's better than the original big shallow which I loved!!...as far as stocking....have you seen the blueberry tetra!!!....a real delight with nice tight schooling aswell👍👌

[@minizila]

I keep some wild caught Gold Tetras in my heavily planted tank - I think they would look AMAZING in your amazon "biotope" scape, the Gold would really pop in in amongst all that Centurion wood.

[@jamesjackson8652]

Looks fantastic. We'll done. So what about Pair of South American dwarf Cichlids ? They will love the hiding spots and bio litter. You will get breeding action and their behavior is fascinating.

[@sergeiz.5815]

Awesome looking tank sir. I recommend to pick up some (kubotai botia) really excellent cleaning crew. I picked up this weekend. Fan from Pacifica California at least 1/2 a dozen for your tank size

[@hhk1557]

If not tetras, i would like Denisoni barbs.. in this novel set up...or at least in one of your future scapes...& looking forward to this scape...in the next few weeks....

[@bradleybr243]

Absolutely beautiful, well done. I'm no expert on the subject. I only have one aquascap and I've watched all of your videos to help me set mine up (if you'd like to see mine I'll send a picture, it's a 500 liter tank). What about puttind a tiny submerge light in the cave part of your scape? Something thats not very bright, that might show off the layers a little better. Great video as always.

[@freedomwarrior1643]

Very naturel scape great job 👌 fish suggestion because your hardscape is very dark i would choose white cloud mountain minnows. They will pop out against the darker hardscape

[@yuratarchan2974]

It’s really amazing. That’s you for this video.

[@iliutasilviu]

Say no more. Neons, GBR and an Amazon pleco pair. I do have peppermint plecos with my pair of GBR.

[@waterlover]

A school of 6 panda Corys and 20-25 cpds 10 Taiwanés red shrimp. 4 horned snails. Two abalone fresh water snails. Done

[@juliangarciacarrasco7004]

Really nice aquascape. I would love to see in it natural phenotypes of bettas, or gouramis. But I know that your choice will be satisfying!!

[@philcarlino6942]

This is a perfect looking aquarium in my opinion. The planting adds to the hardscape instead of taking precedence over it. The little passages hidden throughout will make the behavior of the fish really shine. It sounds like it's going to be south american inspired, so I would stick to those small schooling species. I am concerned some of the fish might jump, so that eliminates hatchet fish and pencil fish. Dwarf cichlids will do well in this environment, I know you had been thinking about the Bolivian ram. Checkerboard cichlids would also look cool, they are so underrated. There are so many small tetras, I'd like to see something besides the rummynose, but they are great fish so I will not be disappointed if you choose them. Looking forward to the next update. Great work as always, MJ. Take care.

[@ZsoltPapp79]

Seachem Clarity have worked for me very well. But you need to keep dosing daily bi-daily for a week or so. Actually at first it makes cloudyness worsted, but will clear up completely... Give it a try

[@patryklyzwa8146]

Wszystkie odcinki oglądam a tu nagle niema napisów po polsku

[@SoNiels]

This looks absolutely amazing, great job!

[@privateportall]

I would think you have to keep feeding your system with ammonia or fish food if you have no bioload. The milkyness might be bacteria die off unfortunately but you'll know when you test your params. Ziet er verder erg goed uit Mark!!

[@hardouindenis9530]

A lots of products used! For me, when i use so much woods, it's the same until i could put some amano shrimps and snails. I just using purigen and coil (carbon ?) in the filter. The problem came from the wood i think. Sometime, i have trouble with the wood where it go out of the water (some fungus on the emerge part by example). I use moss for terrarium to hide it if that's during in time (Asian mangrove wood make me this often). Oh, and i don't know if that's me or not but the subtitle are not on for this video. Great results ! Hope the fishs are not going to hide to much.

[@piacnm]

So beautyfull. Interesting how you used the hydrocotyle leucocephale, one of my favorits. It will grow tall under water and make big beautyfull leaves in the surface, like a Lilly - but looking forward to se it like your way ☺️

[@seamus6994]

Beautiful! I have a lot of patience with my tanks. I'm not into chemicals at all. I leave my wood in the bathtub of my spare bathroom for weeks. At times, I have had my tanks up and running without plants or fish for many days or weeks. It gives me a lot of chances to make changes without disturbing plants of animals. Then I plant and leave them for several weeks or more before adding fish. By then bacteria has grown and settled in.

[@BravoD1Nonly]

I was talking to you about this tank on the last video. I said I preferred the last scape, But you have changed my mind my good sir.. I like it. 👍

[@jackoghost]

since you have sand some corydoras would look nice, perhaps some Kuhli loaches (wiggly boys) even they are more nocturnal as for main fish would pick a stand out color like red (chili rasboras / ember tetras) or yellow (guppies / honey gourami) and ofc some shrimp / snails / clean up crew

[@tomooms3736]

its an absolutely beautifull piece of nature. I'm jealous too...looks like its a perfect habitat for dwarf cichlids. add in some corydoras and some glowfish like tetra's and its perfect. i would put the outflow of your filter a bit higher , so you get more of the shimmer effect, it would look even better.

[@CLuigiplayer]

Ooh I love the scape! Maybe some pseudomugil rainbow fish would look great and do well with the flow

[@Ekforreal]

Love this tank, can’t wait to see it grow in😁 I think you should get a bunch of chilli rasboras, but that’s just because they’re my favourite

[@nayth5459]

There is a bit of wood touching your wall, looks like its making a damp patch. Side note over, looking good.

[@luiseduardopolancomartinez7837]

Small plecos, apistograms, corydoras and a group of rummynose tetras could be a great south american community

[@freeforme3066]

I like the view from the side where you can see the gaps and spaces between the wood. It looks quite dense on video from the front view but need to see more. Some fish disappearing and then reappearing among the wood would look great and add to the sense of depth. I think something silvery or colorful would pop best - cardinals always look good and they do invade the flooded forest when the seasonal rains come so it would fit in with the theme. As for silver, golden tetras are small and would be easy to see darting around that darker, shadowy backdrop. Awesome content on your channel... I am a very passive KZbin viewer so it take a lot to get a comment out of me. Thanks and keep up the great vids.

[@kasunfonseka8867]

This is my favorite scape of yours..🧡❤️ apisto would be nice 🙂

[@adrianradu2332]

Hey! I use the same sponge from dennerle that you do but I hate it. It releases all these small and shiny strings in the water from the abbrasive surface. How do you overcome that? Even after using it a million times, it still releases those. I ended up completely ripping that side off and it still got some of those in my tank. I am afraid fish might eat them because they look like a bunch of shiny worms.

[@Fers350]

Im in love 😍with the scape, getting out of the comfort zone is always good and im just loving it. small crabs with rummy nose tetras will be for me .

[@atlanticyak2069]

The large rock is a critical feature. Make sure it pops. Love it all, nice job buddy

[@fishingnerd36]

This tank is begging for Corydora! I wanna say danio too but I guess that doesn't fit with your south American theme

[@JASHIKO_]

Clearing the water is just going to take time. I would load it up with dense filter floss and more of that purigen stuff.

[@inconito4415]

Love the tank, why not a pair or a trio of aspitogramma or even a small group (maybe a wild type one) with some pencil fish or other dither fish from amazon river and maybe some cory catfish

[@michaelstruyf8641]

Knap aquarium

[@mariannefrederiksen7126]

1 thing not naturel, the sawn off branch stumps on the top wood piece. Please cover them with some moss :) Super nice scape, fore some rice fisch.

[@ravscape]

A very nice tank. I am curious what it will look like after a month. I am waiting for the next films, best regards.

[@sudiptochakraborty1306]

just remember to cover the inlet of the drip pump before adding fish. best of luck!

[@antoniopedro4808]

Definitely Apistogramma's!

[@noodlechild666]

Id just have a giant shoal of Galaxy Rasbora or Lemon Tetra.

[@tomlawler8293]

This scape is fantastic! I'd add some black neon tetras, sterbai corydoras, and a bristlenose pleco

[@kalebmantei3418]

Tank looks amazing, screams apisto to me. Some bleeding hearts would look awesome too

[@thenatureaquarist4650]

With the plants that you added, the tank looks really wild like. Nice work Bro 👍🏻

[@jscapes782]

I must admit I was unsure of the hardscape layout. But now it's all come together it look awesome

[@davyadams2039]

Neon simulans are absolutely gorgeous i think and amazing schoolers atleast in my tank

[@sarahedington7339]

Seachem Pristine might help with that cloudiness

[@realmlee8803]

The woods need to be store in water before putting in aquarium...

[@DpLpEp]

Stunning mate , blueberry tetra have a look at George farmers latest video these guys are stunning little fish 👍

[@mayur4554]

Echinodorus plants will destroy your scape in 3 to 4 months.

[@MUNRO13]

It’s a bacterial bloom. It’ll clear itself. Or, if it’s green water, get a UV steriliser.

[@alejandroherrera5589]

Mate I absolute love your new shallow, I'm not a big fan of iwagumi but this is epic

[@realfishtacoboy]

Would love to some silvery/white types of schooling fish in here to stand out against the shadows

[@kens3dandaquatics]

I can't seem to find the oase surface skimmer on the left side of the tank... Anyone have any links?

[@cr0n557]

lovely just so lovey i can take weeks watching in front of that tank apistogramma would be good or scarlet badis hmmm tetra would be so common to be put in that so special tank and some shrimps is good to be in that tank you can maybe add some air plants on top of the wood that does not need to be moist

[@finklement4821]

Go to utaka in Amersfoort get some apistogramma and some small tetra's, there are plenty of nice spieces

[@redamesky264]

Prachtig geworden! Deze stijl spreekt me meer en meer aan 👌🏼 benieuwd naar de 🎣 👍🏼

[@financialdiarywithscott]

Apistogramma agassizii pair would be a perfect fish for this scape

[@beastly_brisket_man6249]

Good job dude. Insane! CONGO TETRAS!

[@marbalon]

Love it! Just a real piece of nature in your room. I wish to have something similar in my house in the future.

[@AmpsNL]

Awesome rescape! Looks a lot better than the previous!

[@greenecospace]

nice and effective scape. great impact for a shallow tank.

[@danielbagby4149]

I think some kuhli loaches in addition to a main group of another fish would look great in here!

[@dafud77]

giant schools of Chili and Harlequin rasboras

[@DRaquascapes]

How to fix cloudy water in a new setup? ... kick back and wait.

[@jacksontieng9853]

looks great! turned out very natural. might have a go with emersed plants

[@bobross152]

Gorgeous tank! I think you should make it a betta sorority.🙃

[@hawjfamily321]

That looks amazing. I can't wait till the plants grow out.

[@zerberus2525]

Grape-stocks arent really for tanks 🤷‍♂️

[@laszloszocs7477]

You nailed it it's really natural and a complex scape awesome 👌

[@rodrigotorrez]

What do you think about installing a mist maker in the back..¿

[@huseyincaglak5896]

Alt yazılar neden yok ?

[@FAAOAquascaping]

Be careful Marc with the piece of wood that is on the back of the tank out laying down in the glass. I saw you cutted a bit because it was touching the wall before, but in that wood you have a dripping system and you may end to have a lot of water in the floor in short time. I damaged my floor and cabinet because of something similar.

[@FAAOAquascaping]

And btw, that wood is like that... You will need to have a bit of patience on that. Keep doing water changes.

[@MJAquascaping]

Thanks for the warning sensei! 😁 I will keep an eye on it, and maybe cut it more so it's not outside the tank anymore.

[@byronbush1986]

By far my favourite scape you've done!. Always loved the natural look. Such a stunning tank, I'm so jealous.

[@MJAquascaping]

Thanks so much!

[@Tinus_Aquatics]

I wonder if the cats will love it 2.

[@alvinlee1816]

I think gold laser cory or julii cory might be a good addition to this tank

[@t0l4nd]

If you want to actually clear it up - do a water change and run a UV Sterilzer

[@sckusefilym4249]

Great video! And the scape is stunning :0

[@listek511]

Zajebiste Szkiełko !!!!😁👍

[@leonardomendes8442]

just amazing cant wait for the stock choices

[@DairyCat]

My only suggestion is to add some red terrestrial plants.

[@stoneysscapes7544]

₩icked ₩ood !!! Has some medievel creature qualities going on, that is sure going to make your scape Awesome 👌

[@doggoneaquarist5635]

That is one incredible piece of driftwood!
