Aquascape Tutorial: Sparkling Gourami Blackwater Aquarium (How To Step By Step Planted Tank Guide)
As soon as I made the previous blackwater tank for the Neon Tetra fish, I knew there would be more. This time I wanted to do a planted version with less black water, but all the wood and tannins. The "tint" as we call it will release slowly and the water will go darker as time goes by. Make sure you are subscribed to the channel for future updates 👍

The tanks next to each other call for this tank to lean left like it is. You gain a good compliment to the tank next to it that is built to the right.

@willit1972 3 года назад

I love watching a few of your videos back to back when trying to figure out a scape in my tanks. Thanks for the inspiration.

@FoxiesFishes 3 года назад

I always enjoy your videos! I've been a long time viewer, first time commentor. I aspire to one day reach your level of scaping. Currently, I am really into natural aquariums with a deep substrate. I struggled for a very long time to balance out my aquarium, having tons of algae and plant die off. I stumbled upon a fellow fishtuber called Father Fish and he introduced me to the idea of a deep substrate. I haven't had any further issues since implementing it. Now, if I could make my aquariums as beautiful as your's, I'd have it all! Thank you for sharing! 😊❤

@PENFOLD1962 3 года назад

Another great video and an excellent Aqua-scape. Have you tried BLACK LIGHT with crustaceans such as Shrimp? Would the Shrimp glow up like Scorpions when exposed to BLACK LIGHTING? Is there a Shrimp that has proven to do a better clean up job than other shrimp? THIS AQUA-SCAPE has got to be one of my Favourite if not 'The Favourite'. So natural & realistic, do you take photos of examples when you go out for a walk? STUNNING is an understatement for sure. Take care my friend 👍😷👍

@TobyCreates 3 года назад

Hey MD, just a tip, if you want to get a pretty instant black water effect, I’d recommend not boiling the leaves and letting them just float there. They’ll sink after a few hours and will not loose any of their tannins.

@namefirst7189 3 года назад

This is actually the opposite. You want to boil your leaves for at least 10 Minutes. It starts the leaves breaking down to release tannins, without boiling it takes much longer.

The wood lice, we call them rollie pollies here in Vermont in the states. They actually are a isopod. They are fully adapted to be in and under water. They can swim very well. They are one of 2 that left water for good and are mostly a land dweller now. I keep them in my turtles set up so she can hunt.
