New Luxury Planted Tank for my 3 Years Old Betta - Aquascape Tutorial

[@fahn777]

Just to clear things up, tannins are not toxic to fish. Bettas, tetras, discus, angels, and shrimp thrive in acidic, tannic water.

[@TheCineScaper]

Yes I know that tannins are good. I don't know exactly what comes out of this wood, but the smell wasn't very good either. I find alder cones and catappa leaf much safer.

[@emihayashi7725]

Are backyard pinecones safe? How often do you re- landscape the terrarium? Annually? Biannually? Triannually? My beta lived 4 yrs (after purchase) in a filled 5 gal tank, is it sufficient? Your 10 gal tank appears to contain less than half capacity of water.

[@austinpoland4141]

@@emihayashi7725 no because they have sapp in them most likely, pine of anything isnt good for aquariums. Alder cones are different then pinecones

[@emihayashi7725]

@@austinpoland4141 Thank you 🐠

[@oftheHowl]

Shrimp do not prefer acidic water, they do best in higher pH with more minerals than tannins in the water.

[@serefine927]

Some info: the brown water leaking from the wood are the same tannin as from the catappa leaves. It is completely safe and the smell you mentioned in another comment is just the normal smell of the wood, not pleasant but not toxic at all. Next time you can do like 3 water changes to keep the tannin and to remove the wood smell or as you mentioned just boil it. Amazing scape otherwise !

[@TheCineScaper]

Thanks!

[@carlahicks5653]

Soo true. Took a little time for my water to reach it's normal color again from the wood tannin. "But, learning it was safe, was "definitely a 😌 relief.

[@fishrewd-aquariumsmadesimp1277]

no offense but that rama twist root is just something from an obsolete planet it stinks whatever you do [no matter how much you soak it boil it........ughhh....

[@rustinpeace770]

Actually tannins are good for fish

[@rustinpeace770]

Never boil the wood!

[@sriscm]

The moment you bring up the plants for planting, heart fills with expectation & joy

[@moreolivia]

This is absolutely gorgeous and your editing skills are top notch!!! I had a betta years ago and now I am really wanting to get one again and give it a proper home like you have. I hate seeing them put in little glasses and vases and being used for flippant display. They are beautiful fish that deserve proper aquarium setups!

[@francouzskapalacinka1862]

I love that you don’t focus only on aesthetic side in this video, but you truly consider and recreate all the conditions it has in it’s natural evironment, which are needed to keep the fishes healthy and happy, great work 👏

[@TheCineScaper]

Thank you!

[@deepstonecostco]

For anyone who sees the moss ball and wants to get one: make sure you either get them from a reputable seller or *thoroughly* check yours for zebra mussels, an extremely invasive and damaging species that have been spotting in moss balls a lot lately.

[@TheCineScaper]

Never heard of it, but thanks for the information!

[@aylaktavsan]

I've even heard of them being banned in some states in USA as they can contain zebra mussels which are awful.

[@AJVD2123]

@@aylaktavsan they were banned from the entire country if I remember correctly, and I think it may be limited to one exporting country I don’t quite remember. My store had a couple come in with them, we took the salinity up to over 15ppt. You could taste the salt in the air.

[@mallorys2793]

I've wanted one for 3 years now, but they're not sold anywhere in Ontario rn :( I'll just keep waiting sighh

[@AJVD2123]

@@mallorys2793 I’m not sure about Canada’s status on them because of the Zebra muscles, but they’ll likely be widely unavailable until the Russia Ukraine conflict is solved and Ukraine is able to resume its exportation of them. They were the major exporter of the plant. Japan has classified them as a protected species, thus limiting or even banning exporting them on a wide scale. From what I hear a lot of their’s sold in LFS’s are imported from Ukraine. I hope we get them back soon, they’re such a great plant.

[@peaches1220]

I recently got a betta after being out of the aquarium hobby for several years and after doing research on bettas ive also learned that bettas prefer the murky type water. I love the setup, hopefully as the months go on mine will be just a pretty and natural looking 😊

[@happybubble4863]

i come back to this video every now and then, i think its one of my favourite scapes, gorgeous in its simplicity

[@four4444Function]

I too have a small (45l) tank like that, but it's super old now (started in august 2017). But hey, my harlequin rasboras are still alive and active, those little beasts lol However, they're slowly getting cataract. I guess this is what it's like to get old. Your betta will live many years because it has a decent owner!

[@TheCineScaper]

Good to hear you're doing well!

[@susana.9483]

I just did a 5 gallon bowl for my white Betta, Casper. I used black/white slate stones and spider wood to support the roots of a peace lily and some small pearl weed and red undulata plants in the foreground. No filter only a heater a light for the plants. He loves it, biggest bubble nest I have ever had in a Betta tank.

[@TheCineScaper]

Sounds good!

[@sammora470]

I really do love the tank, looks amazing; only thing I would say is that corydoras do prefer a fine sand due to them sifting through it to find food, as a result some can cut themselves on gravel and that obviously leaves them open to infection. It is a smooth gravel so not the worst thing, but I just wanted to let you know

Always nice to see your gorgeous face. I admire your artistic scaping so much. I really find you to be one of the unique designers no matter the layout. I still love the wood scape that hangs over edge into tank and doesn’t even touch the substrate…easy to lift if needed but nothing contaminating the gravel/substrate. Leaves all that underneath area to view the fish you had…that’s my fave scape…..well until today maybe..lol Love from Perth, West Australia…Lisa

[@Nanoscape30]

Amazing video, i was vibing to the music which was really relaxing 😌 love the color orange on your backlght which is a mellow touch, honestly though when you were acclimating your fish, and you poured the corys in, i would not mix any of the water from the bag the corys were in or your snail bc that most definitely cross contaminates your water, it can sadly introduce a disease or something funky from your lfs, i usually just use a shrimp net or if they are big enough i grab them and slowly release them into the tank, whatever your method is, thats your choice but highly recommend never pouring water from the bag the fish are in, into the tank, a few years back i did that into my fluval flex 15 right, about a hundred dollars of cpd's dwarf emeralds, sparkling gouramis and they were so nice and chunky and i loved them, so one day i bought a tiny female rocket killifish, she was so small, like a cm long, super suspect but i just poured her out with the water in the bag she came in, bc she was so small, had a bad feeling about it at my lfs... but bought her anyway.... and low and behold a few days later, little red worm hanging out her butt, and that was camellanus worms, infected all my nano fish and killed them in 2wks...it was so prolific you have to treat the water column and there food with fenbendazole, and once its in one of your tanks, its probably in your other tanks, like extremely freaking bad parasite, it was a nightmare, the worm litterly killed my fish bc i poured her and her disease into my tank, i then had to bleach it out, lost everything and all my plants also it was a bummer 😕
