MINI IWAGUMI AQUARIUM Using Plant Seeds! CRAZY GROWTH

[@RyoWatanabee]

Kind of a weird video as I filmed the first half in Jan and the second half in May 😅Be sure to give this video a thumbs up and follow me on Instagram @ryowatanabee as I’m currently posting everyday 😊 Thank you!

[@williampatton632]

What is the song at 1:30 in the vid

[@williampatton632]

Also love the vid

[@MrReedMiester]

Its awesome when content creators do this. I love seeing the result and the set-up in the same video :) SerpaDesign used to it sometimes too

[@scottibass]

Thumbs up for the crazy good looking tank at aquarevue and how nice your tanks have become

[@darius2172]

Yo put a beautiful Betta in there , it will be sick

[@mockeringmagpie8912]

Man i would love a store like that where I live, awesome video

[@rickey698]

Thank you for not stretching out that dry start setup into a series......I loved that we saw the beginning and then filling up with water....I think a few cherry shrimp would look so vibrant in that set up.

[@TheAlohaHustlr]

I bought those exact packets last year along with some hair grass seeds when I was in Japan. So those carpeting seeds will grow to be hygrophila polysperma, while the sp. large is hygrophila auriculata which is a terrestrial plant. They don't stay a carpeting plant, but they are definitely cool.

[@demonprince5960]

Maybe add a couple of cherry shrimps to the nano tank they are hardy enough to live in a no filter setup plus the plants should be enough to provide oxygen for like 2 shrimps no problem (good vid as always stay safe and keep it up) ✌

[@A.76-v4z]

Yup cinescaper has one with two shrimps in it

[@tonysmith8059]

I just commented it didn't need anything but that is a great idea cherry shrimp would look very good in that cube. you have a great week

[@sadazm]

Your voice is so soothing! I love the vlog style, too. Your channel has been on my radar since I started pondering going into freshwater again, but I think I'm convinced after watching this. Liked, subbed, and hit the bell!

[@marcelocarvalho971]

I just met your channel by searching about aquarium plant seeds. Really nice channel. It's good for people from other countrys that don't speak Japanese, like me, from Brazil. Thumbs up! Congrats!

[@wigglewiggle3789]

Seeing your tanks us always a great, but I do appreciate you showing us where you live. The rice fields with the city behind is a magical view. A little surreal, but still special. Thanks for that Ryo.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you very much 😊👍

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

Love the video!! And really enjoyed the fun and positivity you shared at the LFS.. the rainbow tank was absolutely amazing,all the fishes colors we're beautiful together!! Your room is looking nice and all of your projects are beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!!!👍🐟🌿🌱❤️🙏

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you so much for watching! Pretty lucky that I managed to get that feeding clip 😊👍

[@itsnsti9020]

Not only the scapes but amazing trimming, planting and scaping scenes. Keep it going!!

[@RyoWatanabee]

its nsti thank you 😊

[@CJ-cv1ez]

Without a doubt my new favourite youtuber. Keep the vids coming my man!

[@tonysmith8059]

Thanks for another great video brother I really like the way that little Cube turned out I saw one of those a few months ago was kicking an idea around I like what you did very much I don't think you need to add anything to it all your tanks look great and yeah that was very cool thanks for stopping along the road showing the rice field in the city behind it have a great day

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you very much 😊 yes I agree, the tank looks good just the way it is.

[@laurenl4620]

Oh man I really wish there were more stores like this in the US! The selection here is so limited :(

[@drew-ie9xw]

Interested to see how the seed plants grow. I have heard/read nothing but bad reviews on seeds.

[@RyoWatanabee]

I’ve seen positive and negative reviews about plant seeds. Let’s see what happens with mine 😅

[@sonnykhang5759]

I had luck with some from Amazon, don't know what plants they are but they're a small carpeting plant

[@imaflipp]

They will melt. No such thing as aquatic seeds

[@MT88_YouTube]

I read that there are usually two cases for seeds: 1) the plants are non-aquatic, they can germinate but eventually die 2) the plants are indeed aquatic (hygrophila species) but they are not carpeting plants and grow extremely tall (up to 4 feet)

[@fizihiro]

@@RyoWatanabee can you share what happen to the plant now?

[@yuanshuan7099]

It is amazing that the pet shop has do many choices of water plants. I can only order through amazon here in Hilo.

[@elementkx]

Do you have to clean the outdoor mini ponds?

[@shanebep3135]

I've used those same seeds before. just giving you a heads up, they continue getting bigger and bigger, I have no idea what kind of plant it is but they're the height of my stem plants with enormous wide leaves and they used to look just like yours in the first 6 months I had them. Theyre super hardy and don't seem to be affected by much though

[@AliceRubyC]

I really love your videos, you're very interesting to listen to and they have great production quality :)

[@terminalspines]

Thanks for saving us all that wait time, awesome to see your progression right away!

[@danneedstogo9166]

What sort of soil did you use?

[@dandaman83]

That's awesome the accidental seeds on the rock grew on the rock. Looks badass!

[@CRUMPETSHERE]

Where did you buy your light ?

[@LofiWithMiniAchilles]

Does the grass need co2?

[@lanikikuchi1961]

Awesome!Can you tell where here in japan the store is?

[@zebrobertson]

I've been watching your videos long enough to realize there has to be an ex-girlfriend or jealous hater out there who immediately downvotes your videos as soon as they come out. Whoever you are, get on with your life. There has to be better things for you to do with yourself. Ryo, love your vids, I really like the montages with Japan scenery, etc. and I also like when you do underwater video. I guess the cameras scare the fish, because it doesn't seem very common on aquarium / aquascaping channels... but I like seeing that every now and then. Keep putting out amazing videos and I'll keep watching! Thanks, Ryo!

[@Dummythxc]

KZbin magic !! What a great video ryo!! Very very well done !!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you 😊

[@lzabgy2375]

Hi Ryo ❤️ I'm a big fan of yours 😊 I start to love and collect fish because of you. Right now i have two 5 gallon aquarium and two 2 gallon aquarium. You inspire me to love fishes. My favorite fish is guppy's, danio and betta fish. Keep it up Ryo ❤️ I hope more people will support what you love to do. I hope you notice this I'll be happy if you do 😊😊😊

[@guppyfarm_ita9848]

first I like it and then I watch the video now. Bro, your videos are always beautiful🌱

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you 😊🙏😊

[@Aquagold.goldysingh1313]

So amazing work...u always try new things..planted tank looks fantastic

[@Nurais89]

Can i buy the same carpet plant online? Does the plant needs c02?

[@josejaviermorenomoreno9299]

Hello Ryo san, from Spain. How long do these plants last in water?

[@vlognirk5153]

I really like your videos, very informative and not boring! 😊😊

[@ricoli81]

Awesome tank very nice Now I thinking to do one like this

[@nocturnalblack8462]

Is Anubias petite doesn’t need light ?

[@RyoWatanabee]

nocturnal black it just need a little bit of light. Indirect lighting is good for it.

[@chadusher7150]

I really enjoy your videos and the information that you can give , your tanks are awesome!😁

[@mrbrick5166]

Any updates on how those mini leaf carpeting are doing? Did you trim it eventually?

[@RyoWatanabee]

It was growing but the root structure wasn’t really solid so I actually took it apart today 😅

[@mrbrick5166]

Ryo Watanabe I see. Thanks for sharing! Was considering this plant after getting good and bad reviews about it.

[@kangkankakaty7044]

Do keep updating on this tank......as i have seen some videos of dry-start method of carpeting...in which the plants have melted away once the setup was brought into a immersed condition. Subscribed.....👍👍👍👍

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yes, this one might not last long too as I used seeds. Let’s see what happens

[@elieboyy]

@@RyoWatanabee please post updatea

[@barendvanaswegen2983]

Tanks look amazing, keep up the great work!

[@kryptic9056]

did you keep it closed for the entire 4 months, or did you water them daily?

[@sonugoswami8720]

Fantastic ...👌👌👌👌

[@juristimma5366]

Lovely Mate...... For some aquariums not like it Black silicon sealing,but you Got style.... :) Keep going...

[@lzabgy2375]

I also have white tetras and black tetras. Some red cross and red tail shark 😊 hope someday I visit japan cause they have amazing fish stores. Here in Philippines drip woods and ornaments are so expensive.

[@manishk6026]

Do these plant's grow on white sand

[@bettascarlosgildemontes9980]

Do you know what kind the plant is it ?

[@xenji7121]

I really love your videos broooo Don't stop uploading daily 💕 Oh and some shrimps would be perfect for the tank

[@RyoWatanabee]

At the moment, daily videos is impossible. I’m trying to do twice a week

[@kelsiejarrett8756]

Wow what a neat store I have nothing like that near me!

[@kingdomofmochi]

I love your videos!! Amazing content

[@aquarius9900]

I wish we had a store like that Aqua avue here in Canada. There's a couple stores that have some unique stuff but not like that lovely shop you have. All those aqua scape suplys ready to go rock and wood. Amazing! !!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you. There’s not very many stores like this in Japan too. I’m pretty lucky as Aqua Revue is 35 mins drive away. It’s not the cheapest store though to be honest as it’s an ADA distributor

[@fbasantajr]

Nano tank looks great, how many liters?

[@RyoWatanabee]

Hi, not sure how many liters. Maybe 2 or 3 liters

[@peacefulaqua6221]

The nano tank turned out really nice :)

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you 😊

[@JunaidWolf3]

I love Japan especially the houses and how they look and i also love fish so great video

[@tanngke]

I never seen anyone use seeds before, besides in tissue culture. I hope to try that one day!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yup, I’m having a pretty successful start to this seed method. Wouldn’t be surprised if it starts dying off though

[@mochafrappe6370]

Well done Ryo, Love it ❤️

[@bm3aquatic]

It looks fantastic 👌

[@jamiesampson6432]

Awesome...I need to make one of these next! Just done a outdoor rockery and made two terrariums but deffo need to do a water one with a mini scape it looks amazing 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@beaconhillgang]

Great video

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks!

[@sermecanicmoura]

Japão is a amazing place..

[@Analee2436]

I love your videos, Ryo! Hi from the US 👋

[@RyoWatanabee]

Hi 👋🏼 thank you 😊

[@Ironman0717]

Rio, you could try another set up with the seeds. After 2weeks the seeds are actually good for flooding. When they are submerged they will turn into stem plants after months. Soon they will melt after so you'll have to reset. That's why there are 2 more pockets. Based on my experience. Hope that my input would help. 🙂

[@cooperhelm8391]

the 60 is growing in nicely!!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yup, it needs a trim again very soon. Pinnatifida are growing too tall

[@jkawasaki]

RuPaul’s song playing at the background. Work!

[@manjeshatchgall4601]

Small cube is really good. I'll try this

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yes, pretty fun to watch the plants grow :)

[@Ummmmmkay88]

I cant find seeds like that anywhere in the US.

[@harrymacfarlane1931]

Keep it up bro 💙❤️

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you!

[@sharronmiller451]

Beautiful!!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks!

[@twinlamps]

Man, my very first tank had that little torii decoration 😅 You are giving me medaka, shrimp and scape ideas! Maybe a tiny tank like that could support shrimp?

[@franky3104]

Nice vid!!! Wish we had a store like this in cali >.

[@gwdavidson065]

I want to see how long the seed lasts after growth

[@giauyngo4750]

i wish we had stores like aqua review in america

[@ArnoldQMudskipper]

Interested to see how those fare underwater. Only heard bad things. But, unsure if it's just people repeating the odd negative outcome. Time will tell.

[@RyoWatanabee]

I’ve seen positive and negative reviews about plant seeds. Let’s see what happens with mine 😅

[@fishgirlfromct7743]

Need some shrimp! Love your videos!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks!

[@varunrathod2721]

Guys can we put some shrips in it?

[@alexquiles1995]

Great video. Am thinking that a betta fish would fit in your mini aquarium, Ryo. 😊

[@RyoWatanabee]

No way. The tank is too small for a betta

[@alexquiles1995]

Oh, I thought that bettas can live in just a few ounces of water.

[@marcopardo453]

That is a beautiful square little tank. The plants came out pretty nice. Not sure if they have them in the US. I would add a Betta or a few Cherry Shrimps to the tank. That't just me. :-)

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you. Plant seeds should be available online on amazon or something :)

[@dennisviste1063]

Great work! Keep it up! I wish here in Spain things related to aquarium and stuff are more affordable... It makes me sad because unfortunately it’s not 😞

[@chaoticature]

Best of luck my friend. It can be pricey here in Sth Aus too. To do it right, the expense for my 5 gallon/ 19Lt tank was about $350 aud. Lately I collect small patches of moss up in the hills where I work and gather certain stones from landscaping projects I’m involved in. Even found what I think is lava rock. It can help with hardscape costs but there is the quarantine aspect which needs to be looked at. I’m creating a native terrarium which will be including the critters😊 So maybe check out your local wild species and follow guidelines on where you CAN & CANNOT take native fauna. Please be conscious if you take that route. Joy can still be had with the simplest of setups but as I’m sure you’re aware, you (mostly) get what you pay for in this hobby.

[@elvinventucillo4501]

I hope those carpet plnats from seeds do not melt. They usually do

[@ksockhak]

love your videos, keep in mind, the seed grows in fast and will die just as fast, they will only live for about 2-3 months before it dies. keep up the great content!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks, maybe that’s why there’s 3 packets of seeds included. So that you can plant again after it dies

[@shanebep3135]

Mine are still alive after a year but they're definitely not a carpeting plant, they grew as tall as Rotala after 6 months

[@K1k05]

🙏Nice video Ryo! 8^}

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you!

[@avairye3487]

Hygro SP Tiger doesn't carpet... and the seeds are notorious for being sold on aliexpress and ebay as scam carpet seeds.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Let’s see what happens. Not a big deal if the plants don’t make it. I can always try something new and different

[@vkickmon3003]

yes. I tried a few times. They will all melt in less than a month after you filled the water. Very disappointed.

[@avairye3487]

Most scam seeds do melt, but if this plant really is Hydro SP Tiger then it'll at least grow into an aquatic plant! (و•̀ω•́)و Otherwise rip tank

[@tomyounie5854]

A couple cherry shrimp could be cool in the tank!

[@kaisuegay5312]

nice thanks bro btw is there mcovid 19 there

[@Eric-lj2nk]

You could house a few shrimp in there if you wanted!

[@A.76-v4z]

Love japan!❤

[@aquarius9900]

I wanted to try the seeds but dident know if my light was good enough

[@RyoWatanabee]

Aquarius I don’t think you’d need a really good light. Any decent aquarium light should be fine

[@RyoWatanabee]

Jest be sure to keep it warm. The seeds won’t grow well in the winter

[@khevinng7249]

Miss your electric scooter ryo!

[@dragonfang8748]

Nice

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks

[@kevinilagan158]

How old are you dude??

[@AquariumInHand]

Seed plant is good for fast start though as time goes on it's really hard to maintain and eventually the plant will grow tall and wouldn't look pretty as it was.

[@ドレッドルート-o8y]

It’s amazing!! I want create like your aquas cape! Sorry, I have question. I’m Japanese high school student, Do you go to school? Or?

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks. Yes, I already finished high school.

[@ドレッドルート-o8y]

Ryo Watanabe thx.I subscribed your video!

[@dango6220]

7:30 that's awesome Please don't put fish in there. The tank look really small for the fish to swim. Maybe a snail , that will be nice.

[@soysuka]

Too small for fish unless you just wanted it for fry before they get upgraded. Maybe a pest snail tank or 1 ornamental snail but many species need more space since they are so active and have a surprisingly large bio lode. 2 neocaradina shrimp might be ok but I would personally still feel bad at the lack of stimulation/cover for them in the tank as it is. They might also struggle with temperature swings because of the small water volume. The other issue would be sexing them so your 2 don't make a whole colony. Definitely give us an update on that carpet, I've heard many sold are not truly aquatic plants and die out. Beautiful scapes and well shot. Thank for the look at fish stores across the world! Loved the view of the rice patty too! ♥️

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yes, thanks. I don’t think I’ll be keeping anything in this tank. I’ll just see how the plants do. If the plants don’t make it, then I’ll just try something else

[@melsATL]

Whats happend whit this plants???

[@a___mihciogl4488]

You can add maybe a betta its no problem if they don't have any filter in their aquarium.

[@cael7919]

I see that polyplab sticker on your computer haha!

[@quentinpauwels1161]

Hey ryo from wich age can you drive a car in Japon, amazing video!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Hi, 18 years old is when you can start driving

[@TheAndrianjsf]

Ryo please make a videos about aquarium products that Made in Japan but not ADA I just did a research about Kotobuki Fish tank after watched one of your video. They have a Really nice tanks!! And they have a lot of different kind of products related to Aquarium Hobbyist I even tried to buy Kotobuki fish tank online and ship it to Vancouver Canada...No luck!!

[@ドレッドルート-o8y]

You can buy Lily pipe on amazon! It’s cheaper than ADA, quality is good. So, I recommend amazons lily pipe.

[@RyoWatanabee]

I’ve searched on amazon, I don’t like the Amazon lily pipes because they are a little bit bigger and have two suction cups. (キスゴムが二つ付いていて、あんまり良くくっ付かないそうです。それとさいずはADAよりちょっと大きいです。I will see how it goes.

[@ドレッドルート-o8y]

Ryo Watanabe oh, I’m sorry. ADA is the best aquascape product! And thx for writing Japanese !!

[@tedbelo1418]

Hey, could you help me out and send me some of those seeds 😬 I’ve been trying to find it here in our city, (even country). Can’t seem to find any. I’m from the Philippines. Great content btw. 👌🏻

[@elijahprotzman1913]

Some shrimps or thorned nerite snails would fit well and give the plants some nutrients.

[@foxytr1ck156]

U should put a betta or shrimp in there
