Simple and Beautiful: Pearl Danio and Shrimp Aquarium detailed Tutorial

I've built a relatively simple shallow aquarium for Pearl Danios and Orange shrimp. It's equipped with basic items, a few plants, and straightforward technology. It took a few months to mature, but it turned into a very striking little aquarium, pleasing to the eye. What do you think? How do you like it?

The tank, the filming, the music... Everything is perfect !!!

[@IndoorEcosystem]

Beautiful tank, fish choice, and music! Everything goes super well together!

[@TheCineScaper]

Thanks mate!

[@earthknight60]

Dragonstone (aka Ohko stone) is not volcanic, it's sedimentary, and the reason it has a lot of clay in it is because it's literally made of clay. It's a clastic sedimentary rock.

[@TheCineScaper]

Thanks for the info, I mixed up the lava stone. Is that a volcanic rock?

[@earthknight60]

@@TheCineScaper Yes, lava stone is a volcanic rock.

[@cfajardo6543]

Hence the word “lava”

I don't understand what he said :)

[@vaclavdemeter7608]

Beautiful ecosystem ! (as usually :-))Just a small tip, i use hikari micro pellets (version semi floating) for these fish, they have more time eat it from water column so there is a smaller chance of loosing some of it between substrate grains.

[@cerisekappes580]

So beautiful with the lush plants and colorful fish and shrimp 😊😊😊

[@jenpink4298]

This is really beautiful! I love this shallow tank and these tiny gorgeous fish 😻 I’m glad that you changed the philodendron, I like the asparagus plant much better!

[@MeanOldLady]

I like to lay down my substrate & then add rocks & wood on the sand layer & fill in the gaps with sand & tiny pebbles/gravel. I never glue my stuff together because I like to change things around every so often, instead of making an entirely new tank. ^^; ETA: I just soak my wood until it's waterlogged & just set it in place. It never goes anywhere once its set.

[@ingridkhan5847]

One word - "Beautiful".

[@delaineld7766]

such a beautiful little fish. I wish they weren't as shy.

[@mohdayub0702]

So beautiful

[@darrenderousse4804]

Beautiful shallow scape! Cpd’s are one of my all time favorite fish! When I had them I was lucky enough that they weren’t shy and always begging for food 😂 keep up the great content! 👍

[@maxxedtfout]

Absolutely breathtaking as usual 😍

[@ChucksFeeesh]

I love everything about this! My fav fish and a great choice in shrimp color. This substrate makes me think of the rubber pellets used on soccer fields.

[@MLCGreenScapes]

Great concept, and very well executed!

Lovely Bro 😍👌🏻

All hail Hydra 🙌🏻

[@ericschneider2426]

Your tank looks amazing I love the how much vertical decorating you do with a shallow tank! Any recommendations on where to find dragon stone like that?

[@sebastianb1368]

Here in Germany i found such beautiful Dragon Stone pieces in pet shops and aquaristik stores. But that could be relativly expensive dependend on where you buy Hardscape.

[@sebastianb1368]

There are online shops too. But you often can't choose the actually pieces you got, if you buy there.

[@DoubleZ.2331]

My all time favorite for HOB filter. But i use C4 for 2ft tank.

[@flotofish]

Tank and Video both are amazing 👍🏼😃

[@TheCineScaper]

Thank you!

[@miguellopes414]

a great, simple and beautiful setup. what kind (brand and type) of glue do you use? sometimes i see in your videos you use screws even underwater. what kind of screws (material)? because most of ss screws still get rusty after sometime and other types may contain coper which is lethal for invertebrates. thank you :)

[@greeneyedpixie2]

I had Hydra 3 weeks ago, I pulled my aquarium up and started again. Hydra were hurting my shrimp population. How do you get rid of hydra? or do you keep it? love your work, you are my favorite mime. Now I have a long arm shrimp, and he's a beast.

[@ashishparmar3468]

🔥🔥

[@laurag1076]

Love

[@zetta0375]

Do you have to take any precautions so the inhabitants doent get sucked into the filter? Awesome video!

[@CptBark]

Fantastic little tank, quick question I have a shallow 40ltr, how do you dose c02 consistently, have a diffuser in mine and I feel its just not working correctly, what would you recommend. Thanks 👍

[@northwestlife2794]

Really great video

[@TheCineScaper]

Thanks :)

[@JoshUC]

where do I get the c02 system for this video? I liked the whole setup keep it up, greetings from Costa Rica.

[@shouldhavedonebetter]

Those look like Celestial Pearl Danios - not Pearls. They're a recent discovery actually, and were originally named Galaxy Rasbora's in the trade. They're closely related to their cousins, the White Cloud Mountain Minnows.

[@DZlowryder]

Looks awesome. A few months without livestock? How do you avoid mosquitoes?

[@fadhilaiman7812]

now im thinking on buying shallow tank after watching this lol...cpds are quite shy, eat super slow and doesnt touch any food on bottom, but after i put some daisy ricefish, they ate quite fast and started to eat sinking pallets and shrimp food after seeing the ricefish taking a bite lol...

[@Draboh]

Looks great! Do you full submerge the pots for the houseplants? No you use specific substrate for them?

[@TheCineScaper]

Just submerge the roots.

[@giovinazzohugo5128]

As always, exceptional work, beautiful videos. Well done. What is the title of the music in this video?

[@tonyv054]

Amazong work man! What is the size of this aquarium?

[@fingerdrop]

Do you have a layer or film on the bottom or are you attaching directly to the glass?

The song is really nice, do you know the artist?

[@murshid.k7339]

It's remix of Tierra da Nadi by Migra

[@libideitch6354]

Beautiful and inspiring, thanks for the video! About the dimension, is it 16 cm length or depth? It looks to me that they are the same..

[@TheCineScaper]

Thanks. Height!

[@keithlye1277]

you dosed c02? you mean you put a diffuser in there?

[@massimobrigati6649]

nice, even one Betta, would look good!

[@TheCineScaper]

Thanks! I think this aquarium is too small for a betta fish.

[@fokkedooijewaard8892]

I like the tank! Would like to give a tank like that a go. Can you give a lijk to the sodastream co2 kit please?

Really beautiful creation! Is it possible somehow to avoid the small snails?

[@shannarafryer3111]

Treat the plants to kill any pests then quarantine for a few weeks then treat again if anything pops up. But you shouldn’t worry about snails so much, they’re beneficial to a aquarium plus they only become a problem when over feeding

[@rustystork7477]

um is the TRex adhesive permanent? Is it inert?

[@kleinmannrichard9540]

What is the name of the plant at the left bottom corner that is sticking out of the water?

[@urielRhernandez]

do the fish jump out of the water? i wanted to build a tank like your but in too scared the fish would jump out

How the snail come about?

Could you make a video on hydra? Id never heard of them before but looking on videos on them everyone in this community seems to go scorched earth. Why are they beneficial and how are they evidence of good water quality?

how many liters is the aquarium?

Why did the wood go black.... And is that a concern.... PS I really like your stuff... Most grateful Mate !

So beautiful! I have my Pearl Danios in a cube paired with Blood red shrimps with black pebbles in the foreground, with crypt Undulatus either side of a Bhudda at the back. It's the only tank I just can't let turn into a jungle because I love it so much!

[@jug3r295]

How many gallons is this tank ?

[@ngroysten]

Sorry im really noob, how often do you have to change the water?

[@TheCineScaper]

There's no such thing as a bad question, buddy. I try to change the water in my aquariums once a week. Usually, I replace 20-30% with regular tap water.

[@ngroysten]

@@TheCineScaper appreciate it man! Thanks🙏🙏

[@shannarafryer3111]

Hydra can eat baby shrimp and fish so be careful. I had a bad outbreak in my tank and had to treat it with no planaria to get rid of them. But my tank was only shrimp so they had to go without a question

Great job-as usual. Very inspiring!

Can I ask what do you use to glue rocks together?

Does that adhesive not mess with water parameters?

Neutral to water and livestock.
