In this video, we dive into blackwater aquariums and beautiful the biotope aquascapes you can design for your fish. Great candidates for blackwater aquariums are neons, discus, angles, corydoras and shrimp.
The tank was designed by Nick Kinser, a talented aquascaper and aquarist in the DC metro area.

I’m working on a 90 gallon black water tank. This video helped a lot. Loved the fish. I’ve caught a few of those pumpkinseeds before when I was a kid. Suitland stand up. 💪🏾

That’s such a beautiful tank, “simple” and very zen. I’ve been trying to scape a four foot tank as a blackwater aquarium for a while but I haven’t been happy with any on the layouts I’ve tried. Then I saw this and thought I’d have a go something similar - and I’m soooooo pleased with the results. So thank you for being so inspiring!

I'm in Australia and for blackwater I use dried Banksia cones as well as the branches, bark and dried leaves off the paperbark tree - Melaleuca quinquenervia which is a member of the Melaleuca family of Australian natives from which we get Melafix.

Amazing, informative video. Thank you for not screaming, like so many others do. What are your thoughts about using Mopani wood? It sinks well and releases tannins for such a long time, but I rarely see it being recommended. Is there something I'm missing? Thank you. I'm planning my first blackwater tank.

@evelynmarconi7264
@evelynmarconi7264 3 года назад
I really want someone to make a very calm video about making a beautiful aquascape like this one and say "this aquascape is so supple and was designed with perfect thirds. Now enough of this intro, we are going to be adding the perfect fish for this tank. Lets dive in..." then they drop their phone into the water and start cussing like a sailor.

I love black water biotopes and this one is gorgeous. the beautiful sunfish are perfect choice. I like to hear what the experience aquascapers use, so would have been interested in hearing about the hardware, lights, filter, etc. I'm guessing there is a sump (?) but awesome video...thanks so much.

They decay overtime, but it is okay. Shrimp and other fish enjoy eating the biofilm that grow on it as it decays. Really, it's some of the best food for shrimp.
