[@TheTinkili]

Your little betta is amazingly cute. He's like "Oh, you're fliming? Hey get me into the shot!" 😁 And when you filmed his bubble nest it almost looked like he was trying to say "Yeah, I made that!" 😜

[@ghinajordan4503]

beta fish made bubbles coz it shows his ready for mating.. that beta fish is a male.. poor little fish he doesnt have lover.

[@crazymania042]

Too bad fishes are brain-dead

[@bobmarleystoe]

Yeah like some people

[@reido_dorito]

Haha *rekt* Some fish are actually fairly intelligent. In fact, I've seen goldfish (including my own) learn who does and does not feed them. I know you were just trolling, but I'm just saying.

[@estip111111]

lol youre stupid as hell

[@kashmereart9330]

I've seen those bowls before, but never really felt anything for them. But this is such an inspiration! It's gorgeous (And the music, my god) and I'm actually keen to try it myself!

[@jonmacdonald5345]

Kashmere Art if you do it I will do it??

[@tahalakhani]

Kashmere Art what exactly is this whole process called and is it really sustainable ??

[@adriagan2469]

you may look back on this video and maybe be a little embarrassed for people to see your mistakes, but i really appreciate it. seeing examples and corrections of mistakes is a really good way to learn. i think youve probably saved many people from making these errors. thank you for sharing it with us.

[@bigdreams5554]

beautiful! your betta Is super cute and looks very happy in there. you inspired me to try it out. I have dirted 55 gallon planted tank that is doing well, haven't tried full Walstad no filter yet though.

The 51/2 month mark made me chuckle. He's just staring out of the bowl at you. "Look what I did, mom."

[@kaylynnwatson3314]

Yes that was adorable

[@masterflex0367]

1:40 the bottom shrimp is all like ahhhhhhh😅

[@Alejandro218]

😅🤣😂😀😄

[@jackdiller9087]

There are truly so many experts in this thread. You're all so correct. It's amazing.

[@salsoteca72]

Just to clear up all the comments, *Wild* Betta do not live in puddles or anything tiny like that. The domesticated betta is used to being in a small space that is warmer, while the smaller and more agile wild betta live in shallow ponds, rice paddies ( actually spread out for miles, when it rains it creates a shallow pool that the roots of the rice protect ), and canals. These all stay warm since they are shallow and easy for the sun to heat up. In my opinion, The minimum for Domestic Betta is 5 gallons, and this tank is 5 gallons. This tank is 7 gallons, this Betta is living a lot better than most with 1 gallon aquariums and plastic little spongebob houses where he has nowhere to hide.

[@dinoj757]

You videos are so calm and relaxing, honest love watch your videos: )

[@brookes.2088]

This video always makes me feel a certain way. I am so thankful for you Foo

[@Banano91f]

I think you are brilliant. This is so beautiful. Great taste, in music also! I have one question if i may.. What about water movement? I saw that you didnt use any here (or in some other project). Oxygenation is ok? I really wanna set up something like this... Thank you so much for sharing, one of a kind

[@FootheFlowerhorn]

wow, thanks. yea, this setup doesn't require water movement. there should be plenty of oxygen for the livestock b/c the plants release oxygen. however, this is only true if the plants are healthy and growing. that's why I suggest waiting 2 months until the plants have been established and thriving, especially if this is your first time trying this type of setup.

[@alb9022]

I guess the CO2 release isn't an issue considering the relatively small foot print of surface area and amount of plants in there?

[@Banano91f]

thank you! I'm more of a plants guy, not a fish guy. keep posting this is great

[@jashelps]

The reason this works is also because the betta has lungs and can breathe air when needed to. If you can just set a normal aquarium up with a small air powered sponge filter and you are good to go.

[@mrclean8049]

its 7 gal the plants are the filter

[@janelin6083]

That was awesome! I've never been so jealous of someone's fishbowl before! It's an ecosystem!

[@FootheFlowerhorn]

Here's the picture after 7 months...I forgot to include it in this video: drive.google.com/open?id=0B85DDESClJE5N1RndUdHTWNhWGM After 7 months or so, vallisneria took over the entire tank, and there were hardly any space for my betta to swim around in. Also, the bowl just looked way too overgrown. So, I decided to move my betta to the 5 gallon one that most of you have already seen : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iorVonpphLeHfdE Also, here's a new video showing DETAILS of the bowl and the high cube. Please check it out if you're going to start your own tank. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJOyo3qIncuXgpI

[@naitsirhca4551]

you brought interest into something i didnt know i had your videos are beautiful i appreciate your dedication i came to this video cuz i have noticed this was one of your first early videos to reach a million+ proud of you dawgy dawg love things like this

[@lmonetn3820]

this was so peaceful and interesting, the music was lovely, reminded me of howls moving castle.

[@ashtagram520]

Your living space is overloaded with positive energies. Even your videos are so comfortable and I guess lots of people love your videos too. Serenity, calm, are the words to describe I guess.

[@EnsignPissBoots]

You give me hope sir.

[@dyahmaryati]

Thanks for sharing the vid. You inspired me to set up my very first planted aquarium! I opted for a fish bowl (like you) because it gives 360 view. I’m amazed by the growth of your plants. Kudos.

[@FootheFlowerhorn]

good luck.

[@bettyhe601]

That looks so fun for the fish. Always exploring! :D

[@Bhousm76]

This is really inspiring. To see plants that healthy pearling oxygen without co2 is so cool. Really great job.

[@manae3297]

This video is so relaxing but yet full of excitement! I have a Terrarium that I've kept alive for almost a year now and I think this will be the next best challenge! I'm currently in college and the place I'm renting doesn't allow any pets so this will definitely be an awesome idea to try and get a sense that I'm taking care of and keeping something alive. I want to place it on my desk so I can look into the bowl during my study break(: Thanks for sharing your videos and writing such great and thorough description in the box.

[@amitb7611]

Your pond looks beautiful.

[@omusubibi]

When I see the bubbles coming out of the leaves I can't help but say Wow! this is amazing

[@laptopsaysno]

just turned me on to a new concept. very exciting!!

[@parthabhatta1963]

I am seriously thinking of making such a bowl tank. Very impressive.

[@iole96792]

The bowl looks amazing and everyone in it looks healthy. I've been planning a similar small environment for fiddler crabs but I just might go with shrimp now... hmm. :) Do you know if the two can live peacefully together?

[@iole96792]

Will do, thanks!

[@The_HealingSpace]

Your videos are making me want a shrimp garden really really badly. I'm so in love with those blue and zebra ones!

[@akhenatenra2841]

Watching your videos help so much to relax.

[@HM-lk3pq]

Just beautiful! Where did you buy that bowl?

[@FootheFlowerhorn]

I bought it at a local gardening store. but you can find a similar one on amazon. search "bubble bowl"

[@harrymyhero]

Michael's store in my area had them for 19.99

[@thoaitaitran109]

It's so sad and relax too... when I heard that music and watching your fish slowly floating in beautiful bowl.

[@laurencecruz6819]

It started cute until you can no longer see anything inside the bowl 😂

[@halonut101]

One of the most relaxing things I've watched in a while .

[@matthewsmith22]

Such a beautiful set up. Did you use soil from out in the garden or a known brand organic mix? I've really enjoyed seeing this one develop over the months. Have you ever played around with 'natural setup' deep gravel beds for this type of setup? Somehow the deep gravel bed allows anaerobic build up that consumes nitrates used lots in the marine hobby from what I understand

[@FootheFlowerhorn]

thanks. it's generic local brand organic potting soil. it has vermicompost and chicken manure compost mixed in. walstad recommends miracle grow organic potting mix. that also has chicken manure compost. yea, I've heard about deep gravel bed setup. it should also work in fresh water. my understanding of it is that it takes a while for it to start working since gravel doesn't have any "nutrients" in it in the beginning.

[@matthewsmith22]

Thanks for the reply. Yes it takes a very long time. It's taken close for a year for anaerobic bacteria to colonise the media in my canister filter. I'll have to give the deep gravel bed a go at some point! I've ordered a bubble from amazon!

[@jonathanrenteria9807]

Foo the Flowerhorn Why do you have to place your betta 2 months after ?

[@cnidarianc6852]

That's a beautiful aquarium. Nice work with the video too. I actually felt really relaxed watching it. Thank you.

[@weewooitsanavocado7348]

Me when I see the fish: "nooo, not the bowl 😱" Flowerhorn: "it's a 7.5 gallon" Me: "oh.. all peace is restored" Also, great job with all the plants. You've made a wonderful home!

[@AquaTerra-Life]

Wow, this looks really awesome! Maybe I should get me such a bowl, too. Thanks for sharing, I really love to see the progress.

[@willmoran1059]

I really would like to start an ecosystem like this, anyone have any tips to start

[@FutureMeek]

Aldaroth hey they just wanted help. Please don’t call names.

[@Minisquix-vc2rn]

The description seems to explain a lot of the process

[@deborahminter6231]

All natural organic substrate.

[@Trilobite45]

This is what I’ll be trying. I love the blue, red, yellow shrimp & the “calico” guys. I had a thriving crimson shrimp population in a 20 gal tank. I tinkered too much & the colony crashed. Will try again slowly & small using this method. Am reading Diana Walstead’s “Ecology of the Planted Aquarium”. Thanks for taking the time to make such interesting & detailed vids.

[@ken_le]

do you do water change?

[@FootheFlowerhorn]

yes, after 2 months, once a week. but for the first 2 months, it varies. I actually did water change quite often b/c I put my betta in too early. more details are in the description of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iorVonpphLeHfdE

[@amitb7611]

Water changes are required but never do 70-100% water change fish find it difficult to adjust 20-30% fish will be happy with that.

[@woabeatz9717]

Distilled water from the store is best ....not tap

[@malnutritionboy]

Amit Bendale some times it is nessasary such as when 82 out of 86 of my fish died in 2 days due to an ammonia spike. I changed 80 percent and the remaining 14 are still alive

[@FaZeZombieslayer]

I could watch this all day!

[@firebelias1266]

1:42 "Weeeee....."

[@dulcemania6835]

Haha cute

[@GaiaCarney]

Thank you very much for creating & sharing this! This approach is new to me, usually aquariums make me cry

[@CynicalScientist261]

How does the water stay so clear?

[@hangyao479]

Have aquarium plants, give them light by LED bulb or natural sun, and put algae eaters like the shrimp. Make sure it gets enough sun bc as long as the plants are doing fine no algae will grow. Algae eaters backup

[@harishgupta46]

One of the list satisfying videos ever.

[@KimSongha]

Hello Watch your video I started the aquarium. But the color of the water More and more green. I do not know why. Is there any problem?

[@FootheFlowerhorn]

there might be too much light and too much nutrients in the water. it's hard to say without seeing your setup. if you don't have any fish in there, do a big water change. if you tell me your setup, I might be able to help more.

[@KimSongha]

Oh, Thanks for the reply The floor is like a video. This is South Korea, the temperature is high. The water temperature goes up to 27~28℃ Even with a cooling fan. Maybe the plants have melted Does the color of the water change? The hairgrass turned brown. My setup The tank is 35x25x30cm 1 inch organic soil(vermicompost and chicken manure compost) 1.5 inch black sand Baby tears, Pearl grass cuba, hairgrass, Yamato shrimp LED light 36pcs, 8.64w Hanging filter 5w

[@FootheFlowerhorn]

yea, plants that have not established yet can be more sensitive to temperature. at those temps, they might be ok, but any higher, they might have a hard time. once they are established, they might be able to handle higher temps. plants can melt in the beginning, but if they have new growth, everything should be ok. the color of the water should get brown, not green. when it gets too brown, do 50% water change. the water will continue to get brown for 2~3 months or so. but it should not get brown every day. green water is b/c of a type of algae bloom. if your plants are healthy and growing, you won't get much algae. it's b/c your plants are having a hard time, that's why you got algae bloom. another thing, you shouldn't use LEDs for this kind of setup. CFL(compact florescent light) is the best. I used OSRAM 14W coolwhite color. since your tank is similar size, you should try that. I actually tried 3 different kinds of lights. that was the best one. when I used a LED light, it got algae very fast. b/c you have a filter in there, it'll make your water brown faster b/c there will be more water movement. plants don't need a filter in this kind of setup. the pearl grass should be doing pretty good. is it? how long ago did you set up the tank? do you have livestock in there?

[@hannahkim4875]

That is a big bowl and very nice set up for a betta, oh and nice shrimps that would be like paradise

[@robbitt]

The second I saw that nest I would have been at the store buying him a female. That was amazing and heartbreaking at the same time.

Kid you sound like a well educated classy young man....

[@fitz7663]

This is amazing! It's so much closer to a natural aquatic ecosystem, what with all of the plants and filter feeders. I bet the beta is loving this, since they're found wild in rice paddies and other flooded grass fields.

[@marrissagarcia7918]

Tbh, I probably couldn't have kept the fishes for that long. They'd probably die in the next 24 hrs or so...😐

[@Carmen-oz3fx]

Can’t keep my fish alive for 2 days WITH a filter

[@a7c777]

Oh yeah lot of people have this problem. Have you tried cycling it? (look up: “Nitrogen cycle” if unfamiliar with “cycling”). If so, try regulating the temperature (typically 68-78 degrees for most tropical freshwater fish), researching the desired fish’s living parameters to suit the amount of gallons for your aquarium, slowly acclimating the fish while still in the bag to the temperature of your tank, adding beneficial bacteria, driving slow and carefully when transporting the fish from the pet store, remove access from dangerous pets like cats, and conditioning your tap water with solution before adding fish. If all of these steps are done, you should have like a 97% survival rate of the fish for at least like a month. But if you won a goldfish it at the carnival or accidentally buy an inactive/weak/dying fish it will likely die though either way, but these steps typically work unless your fish provider sells you diseased fish

[@rakamishragaming4337]

Nate Cue the bowl is 7 gallon. Plenty of space. A lot of bettas I know live in a gallon tank and are perfectly healthy.
