DIY All-In-One Betta Aquascape 

Just because the tank is broke doesn't mean it can't be fixed... or something like that lol! As always I hope you enjoyed the demonstration. What do you think of the final product and what else would you add to the tank?

love the tree stump look of the scape Tanner. Great job.

"getting a fish on a whim is no big deal" wow. That's amazing. That's how i wanna live.

Excellent simple aquascape. Also, I love how fish always flee in terror from a net, but then when you put the net in the water to release them, they're all, like, "No! I want to stay in this nice safe cozy net."

I love how you can fit the wood and rocks together almost as if they where peace’s of puzzle meant to be put together

Most bettas: *Live horrible lives in sad little one gallons* SerpaDesign: We don't do that here.

Would really love to see a maintance and cleaning video on your tanks, and how you care for such a large number of tanks and animals, as always the build looks amazing keep it up !! :)

SerpaDesign in 20 years from now... Serpa: "First, I needed glass for the aquarium. I drove to the beach to get 5 gallon buckets of sand, which I then super-heated to around 900 degrees and melted it into glass..." Me: "You realize you can go to a store and buy that right?" Serpa: "For water, I simply collided hydrogen and oxygen together to create my own H20..."

This was so cool! I'm also eager to see a 6 month update on the Milipede terrarium :3

Your daily maintenance must keep you busy when you're not making something new. My mind is boggled by your creativity and skill, every time I watch you create.

Screw you Tanner. Just when I thought my brand new Betta aquascape looks good, you come out with this video! I wish you had made this a few days ago so I could take some inspiration and techniques from what you did here. Looks amazing, as always.

me when i ruined a tank: Nooooooooooo!!! My life is destroyed! Tanner when he ruined a tank: Yeeeeeeeees!!! Now i can build an amazing new tank! really beautiful build btw

I loved watching this. And that betta is really cute..

Beautifully done… I would be interested in a video on how one maintains and cleans tanks with bio-debris as it breaks down over time. Thanks for all your hard work. Beautiful scape!

Ellie is so beautiful and I'm sure she's going to love her gorgeous new home

This is one my favorite SerpaDesign scapes! I wouldn't change a thing.

I would put this in my home any day. The stocking choices are awesome.

Looks good! Maybe you could add some Ember tetras (if they can live with bettas) I think the color of the embers would suit the tank

this must be my new favourite scape of yours, the shallow tank, those beatiful pieces of wood and stones placed in a naturally harmonic way, just perfect

As someone who works at a pet store that sells them in little cups to people who buy the cheapest things possible for their bettas this makes me happy. Every single animal in captivity deserves the best natural environment for them and every single pet I have I go full Serpa on it because this man knows how to raise animals. Good fucking job! Thank you for treating these animals with the care they deserve.

"new member of the family." That is how I feel about my fish too!

WOW. You really have an eye for aquascaping. I wish I could aquascape half as well as you.

You make building tanks look so easy. Love it!

This is a perfect set-up for a Betta! She'll be happy in her home for many years. Thanks for the tutorial.

Totally love this scape!! That wood is amazing, and the whole thing is a beautiful cohesive environment! Wish I could do something like that. 🥰

It looks great! I feel that pygmy corydoras would go really well in this scape with the botanicals. also, what if you scaped a tank for serpae tetras and called it the "serpaesquad" :)

I think that's my all time favorite aquascape so far!

This is a very elegant design. Simple, but with depth and with a lot of room to mature. Love it.

I think your work is really great for all aquariums. Greetings from Poland.

One of the most beautiful scape I've ever seen. And also it looks so much more lively like a real habitat. Keep up the good work man. Love your videos

My family have been keeping fish now for 3 generation. My grandfather on my mother side, had 10 tanks in his home, keeping Oscars and Discus. My dad, he was the treasurer for the Royal Aquarists Society in Leicester back in the 1970s. And now there is me. Currently have a small 10 gallon, though I am looking to upgrade to a Fluval Flex 123l. Your tanks are amazing, just wish I had the money for one. :)

Damn those are some vivid stress stripes. I would definitely get a lid for that.

Beautiful tank tanner! Be careful some bettas can jump out of the aquarium if it doesn't have a lid.

The back compartment for the pump and filter looks like the ones in those all-in-one tanks that Reef aquariums use. Very nice video!

I could watch these aquatic creatures all day!

Looks amazing as always!

Lovely work! Would like to know more about the "botanicals".

You're the reason I started this hobby/way of life.

Love the plant variety and aquascaping choice. The layout brings a new scene of theme and beauty in what looks like a real natural environment.

I really like your style. Certanly you like natural landscapes and I love the way you spread some "dead" forest material, lika leaves wallnuts. Love it.

I'm so happy that you realized how special the female betta is and decided to keep her alone. So many people do betta sororities, which is just a disaster. People never give individual females the chance to show that they are just as personable as the males.

Been waiting on this all day

The tree stump looking driftwood and the botanicals really give the tank a natural forest floor look. Gorgeous!

It's a beautiful design, as are your other designs. The botanicals are what make this design for me. Makes the tank feel like a natural landscape.

I love the scape, looks great. How ever you've set up the filter incorrectly, theres no flow to where the media (lavarock) is. The segments between the segments should be staggered, so on the second section of corrigated plastic the plastic partition should start at the bottom not the top. The way its set just now, the water in the lavarock chamber will remain stagnant. Anyways Love the videos, Your scapes always look great, I would really enjoy seeing and getting to know the planning process of how you concieve the scapes. Watching you build them is amazing, but how can I go about building something so great. Just watchjing you build and maintain scapes is good, but after the 200th video....

I have never clicked anything this faster!

Could we get a video talking about botanicals and maybe wild foraging for them? As well as like where you get aquatic plants and stones wood and different sands?

Love the song at the end Good vibes

Serpa, I love your videos, I’m new to terrariums but my favorite “plant” are fungi. If it’s even possible, could you do a fungi terrarium? Keep the great content coming! Thank you!

*I can only wish I could build like you!*

These videos are helping me get through this quarantine with a little bit of my sanity intact. Thanks!

This looks fantastic and I'm excited to see an update when the betta's grown more and colors settled!

I’m going to show this to all the people I know with a gallon fishbowl for their beta

Who has been a fan before 2020!!

Great scrape. New to the hobby and finding your channel a huge help/inspiration. Thank you!

That is quite the betta fish. I certainly wish my local aquarium stores had ones like her!

Love from Kerala, India

You can stock any of the following: Rummynose Tetras Cardinal Tetras Kuhli Loach Harlequin Rasbora Otocinclus

Simple and sleek, the stump really binds the tank really well in my opinion. I'm a huge advocate for 'less is more'. Great job Tantor.

Brilliant design, looks magical. Lucky Ellie ! Well done Tanner

Other people: oh no my 75 gallon broke its ruined what a waste of money I'll have to buy another one Serpadesign: nope

wouldn’t it be good to have a lid? have heard bettas can jump

The best vids I have seen so far on RU-vid I’m 11 and I make enclosures for a job And u inspire my builds I recently made a 90 gallon tank into a pond environment with shrimp and tetras and a creek smoky mountain shiner Great vids and also don’t forget u are the best RU-vidr ever

This is what I call a truly useful video. Thank you so much!

Wait what i thought you lived alone when did you have a wife bro im tripping!!

One of the first comments

I love that you made this from scratch with recycled materials. The end result is beautiful! Love those wild type bettas as well! I finally added neon tetras to my betta's black water tank, and I love the contrast their colors provide.

beautiful tank. lucky betta. i know when i visit a fish store, i am drawn to bettas and i want to take them all home!

You make it look so easy! I’ve tried 4 aquariums, 2 vivariums, and a paludarium, and I got nowhere NEAR how good yours looks!

The stress stripes on that poor girl when she first got home... :( So glad you guys have given her such a lovely home! It looks like she could be an alien hybrid, in which case you could add some more shrimp due to their more peaceful personalities, but in a 13 gallon I’d definitely hold off on any more fish. I think bettas really flourish with a lot of their own space, and tetras and/or bettas can get nippy with each other if crowded.

Your eye for composition is incredible, it's a skill you've truly honed in for the past few years since I first started watching your channel, your latest builds are legitimately the most beautiful terrariums/aquariums/etc I've ever seen!

The eye you have for detail is impeccable. The huge stump is awesome. I keep saying this but your gonna be huge and have your own tv show. Love this tank!

Beautifully done! You definitely have an eye for this and talent. I love that you repurposed an unusable tank. I just came across your channel a few days ago and can't stop watching. You have definitely given me the want and knowledge to start not only closed terrariums but possibly fish tanks.

I am so thankful that you did the terrarium video with AntsCanada last Christmas, without that I would have never came across your channel, or maybe I would have, but it wouldn’t have been in time to watch this video. Ive been wondering how to build a fairly big tank to be able to place it as a surprise for my mother, thank you for this video, it was exactly what i needed to be able to figure out what im going to do.

This is very similar to the tank I'm planning. It looks great and has made me even more excited to start mine.

That's beautiful. I love how natural it looks. Love the botanicals, the betta, and the shrimp.

Enjoy your new home Ellie, you in good hands 👍❤️👍

amazing, I just picked up some driftwood and was stuck on what to do with some pieces, thanks for the inspiration. Also I am so glad there are other people out there that understand beta don't need to live in jars

Oh to be a fish and get bought by Tanner. Great build! Loved its simplicity

The scape is gorgeous. Especially that stump

It's a miracle! Thank you!

Very inspiring adorable work. Showing the plant names during the work is quite helpful.

I think that tank is needed some khuli loaches! Great tank, Ellie will love it

Love the scape. It looks amazing, and it’s great how you use bits that most of us would throw away.

That filter compartment looked much simpler to make than I was expecting! Thanks for the tutorial!

Love the latest member of the Serpa family. Welcome Alley and friends✌

This was be as dutiful! I wish more people would feature Betas in beautiful tanks. I love the plants and botanicals that you put in. The Beta is beautiful. I'm sure he loves the tank too. I would also add some micro fish,neon greens,rice fish ect.. I like them all. The shrimp were s nice touch and will be fun to watch.💜😍🦎🦐

I love to see when people repurpose old or broken projects! Great tank Tanner!

I love this tank. I watch this video once a week just to get inspiration. I want to do a tank like this and am building up the supplies. My favourite tank of any channel for sure.

Thank you for giving Ellie a proper home, those fish stores are just evil for keeping bettas in tiny plastic cups.

Another beautiful build. The addition of the leaves and cones really adds to the aesthetic. It's also great for adding tannins of course.

clean design. love how the substrate, amano, tetras, and the betta colors all mesh really well.

Dude!!!! Unbelievable design. I never thought of putting detritus( i.e. leaves, cones, etc) in a tank. Looks great. Truly impressed.

this is one of my favorite scapes youve done its clean and not too cluttered

Eeeeek! One for betta fishes!! This is so awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing your skills and for posting this video Tanner!!!❤ 😎 🐟

This might be my favourite design of yours yet! Looks amazing

You’re an artist!! A detailed and creative setup like this would go AMAZING in your bio-orb update!!!

as someone that's designing a tank on the smaller end for a desktop betta tank - I adore this! the aquascape and tankmates are perfect

Beautiful! Love the botanical ideas. Make it so perfectt!

I love your calming videos!!
