Came for the competition, stayed for the rock content

[@SimplyBetta]

Hah!

[@SimplyBetta]

I didn't go missing in that snowstorm, thank goodness! Hey guys! All the links are in the video description! This was a fun project, I love how it turned out and the DIY background really makes the colors pop. Was this a fun video/project? Also, SORRY for the re-upload! I had to fix a glaring error on the video that was posted this morning x_x

[@michaelalexandercanade3449]

LoL enjoyed. Let me know about the voting and. if you want? More movies reels on Instagram.

Did you put Golden pathos in the filter ?

*snort* - Thanks! :D

[@terilynemarroquin8050]

I really love your style young lady. You provide lots of chuckles and laughs for this fluffy kinda sassy old Broad. I also admire what you do and envy your energy levels. Looking forward to your creating and putting together your new fish digs.

[@ChattanoogaEd]

This is going to be a fun competition. I'm gonna go see what the other guys are doing!!!!!

[@dylans.1741]

Taylor will surely prove victorious, and do you know why? Cause she's the IRON FRICKIN MAIDEN!!!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks Ed, it was pretty fun :)

The Love on your dogs sweet little face! He adores you. Precious

[@alisandraweaver]

Absolutely obsessed with how the dog was barely even awake for the intro

[@SimplyBetta]

Lol!

[@ericamontoya7168]

I love your design! That background idea was fantastic it made the whole scape really pop and made the fish look even better than he already did! Great work! Can't wait to see what you do with your 90!

[@mysticmorgan8688]

YIPPIE KI YAY TAYLOR! Good luck winning the challenge. 🤠

[@PaulMartin61]

Great Job! Has anyone mentioned yet that the link above to Lisa's scape goes to KGTropicals, instead of LisaKGTropical's channel where her scape is. Good luck!!

[@SimplyBetta]

Oh SHOOT I better go fix that - thank you!

[@boges11]

You an use paper towel instead of cigarette filters. Just tuck little rolls or scrunched up bits between the pieces you are trying to stick together and coat in liquid superglue.

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Your doggo is a STAR

[@SimplyBetta]

She knows it! :D

[@msbranen6261]

Your old west intro was too funny! Great tank. The blue lit background was the perfect touch too!

[@michaelalexandercanade3449]

Good luck 🤞 Taylor

[@lisa1983]

Omg!!! Love this video 🤣

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks!!

[@griffinblade]

scape building always looks so relaxing

[@Shotsbyflo]

great job...that blue background really makes the whole scape stand out!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks, it's a little detail that can really make a tank pop!

[@rebeccahunter5918]

Loved your tank-scape Taylor. Nice that this is something that most people couple probably do at home without buy a whole lot of stuff other than the plants.

[@kerrypitt9789]

Taylor, this tank is perfectly designed as far as I am concerned. I really appreciate the rocks you chose and that originally you were going to take them from a stream before the snow. I use a lot of locally collected items for scaping and food. Not necessarily because of price, mostly because I like to collect or harvest much of what I use. I have access to an old rock pile that has some very interesting shapes and colours. The other thing I like about your scape is that you have not planted full sized plants, so you can watch them grow and fill in. I am not a huge fan of plugging full sized plants in and then watch them melt back and then grow. To me this type of scape is not really living up to the reason for aquascaping. Your natural slope is perfect. As a fly fisher I am always concerned with making a Scape as natural as is possible. Great Job!!!

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

I totally agree Kerry♥️ I hope you're having a great day my friend 🙏🌿🐟🌿💝

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

The intro Taylor was so funny 😂🤠 I love Phoebe ♥️😍😂 I have enjoyed each and every one of y'all's videos so much! I've got to say it in this comment as well as I did in the other comments you ladies are my self-proclaimed mentors of the hobby!! Y'all have inspired me to try aquascaping and have just made me love bettas and fish that much more!!! One day I can I hope that I can be a great KZbinr, aquascaper and inspire others like you all do!! I'm going to definitely have to get one of these little tanks it's super nice and it would be perfect in my little Nano collection 🎉🎊♥️ I really love the all and look one type tanks. I recently got to do my first attempt at an aquascaping and set up video for a Hygger Arc. Because of watching each and every one of you ladies I've learned so much and really trying to make better videos!! I'm so happy that you're getting settled into your new place and this was one of your additions to your new space ♥️🎉🎊 I'm not sure if I can pick a winner I'm going to try because each of you brought your own creativity and they have all turned out beautifully!!! I'm definitely looking forward to your new 90 gallon 🎉🎊♥️😍 I was excited about seeing you use the River Rocks, they are beautiful in their own right and look so natural ♥️ I really loved learning about the plants all of you ladies used!!! Thanks for the tip on the chopsticks 😂🌿♥️ It's amazing how just 5 days to make a difference on how the plants perk up and you can see the difference in them 😍🌿 Thanks for sharing Taylor and you ladies for making it very hard 😂 I hope one day I've learned enough to be able to do a challenge with you all just for the fun of it!! Love you bunches and have a blessed day 🙏🥰🌿🐟🌿♥️💝

[@lindahenderson840]

You are so unique Taylor what would we do without you:)

[@shesellsfish]

Girl...that rock tower...OMG, it's AWESOME! And you gave me a great idea for a small 20g L mini riverstream tank with white clouds, and borneo loaches and river rock weed plants. I love all 4 of you lovely lady scapers, good luck to all of you. 👍❤👍

[@sandradolbel2578]

I absolutely love the river rock cascade....I want my next tank to look like that. Great job

[@SimplyBetta]

I'm glad! I hope you do it, it was pretty fun and I really like how it turned out

Ahahahaha!!! all amazingly talented scapers, but this video is the most fun by far -- thanks as always, Taylor, for the amazing and inspired content.!!! (PS: I still want some of those Api Apis once you get settled in the new place!!!)

[@erinhallmakes777]

The cigarette filter thing only works if they are paper or another cellulose based materials. If they are a plastic fibre it won't work. Found out the hard way. Easier is to use a cotton ball.

[@SimplyBetta]

I should try cotton balls next time! Good to know

[@natalianaic6634]

Omg. Love it. Sooo different!!! Im between 2 tanks for my vote and yes one of those tanks is yours haha.

My pleasure :)

So creative and beautiful, Taylor! I have never seen the glue and cigarette filter trick, and you had such an amazing result - love the river rock “falls” - I luckily have tons (literally) of river rock in my backyard that I “borrow” for all my tanks, so I’m definitely going to try this. I also love how much open space for you sweet fish you provided. ❤️ Thanks for the joy, as always. ❤️

MD who has a fish channel uses cotton make up removal things to glue with super glue. cheaper than cig butts

Hi Simply Betta, I'm new to your channel and trying from the beginning to see all your videos. Came across the video of using tracks for your breeding tanks. Just wondering where you picked up those tracks as I went to Depot and did not find them. I'm from Philly PA. Maybe looking in the wrong section. Hope to hear from you. Thanks! PS lots of luck with your new home!

Nice scape! Where did you purchase the plants?

[@cakeeeetime]

Did you check the rocks for their soluableness in water? They might change the waters perimetters by disolving slowly (hardn the water). What kind of rock you use can mess up a scape. Sorry, if this sounds weired, my first language isn't english ^^

[@mittenista]

that looks awesome! do you think polyfil would work in place of the cigarette filter? Becaues I have a ton of that.

[@SimplyBetta]

Gosh, I'm not certain! I was reading that the cement-like bond has something to do with the cyanoacrylate in the liquid superglue (make sure you have that kind) and the cellulose in the filter. Since this video I've learned that paper towel shreds could work, cotton balls could work. I would recommend double-checking all this stuff though
