For Beginners who aren't used to scaping with rocks. Try to decide on how to fix the rock formation in a box or cardboard outside the tank, take a picture so you know how it should be. And now place it inside the tank with the reference.

@kaycgrocks 8 месяцев назад

Great idea, thank you 🥰

As a newby I appreciate those little tid bits like finding out java fern doesn't like being planted in substrate !

This video couldn't have come at a better time for me! I bought a 10gal tank too and want to make sure I'm making the right decisions for a good environment for plants and fish/shrimp.

You can't go wrong with live plants :) ~Lizzie

@elmee96 Год назад

I love spongefilters.. but it's a real eyesore in a scaped aquarium.. 😳

@garg4531 Год назад

Beautiful scape! Personally I think a nice colony of bright red cherry shrimp would be a perfect fit for it ❤ For livebearers, I’d say endlers, maybe endlers and cherry shrimp. Makes for a nice combo and some potential breeding! (One thing I feel the need to mention is that even smaller fish like neon tetras for example generally need plenty of space to move around and to be kept on large groups, so I personally like to keep/suggest only fish species that grow to an inch or less in size for a 10 gallon, with the exception of bettas of course)

@LtexprsGaming Год назад

Platys for sure would look amazing here. And there's a lot of hiding spaces for new fry not just in the plants but the nooks in between the rocks too.

@landondial5215 Месяц назад

Thank you! I’m starting my first tank and I’m hung up on the substrate and plants. Might just copy this 😂😂😂

@neur0ness Год назад

Perfect. Simple, direct, and clear. Good job! Also, I think the forktail blue-eyed rainbow fish would be cool in there. I've never kept them but I'd like to.

@darrylmoore5847 Год назад

Beautifully done.

@nabokovfan87 Год назад

If you take the first section of this video. The exact same set of rocks.... You can set-up an island style hard scape, iwagumi, V shaped, triangle shaped, etc. It would be really cool for people to see all the different layouts and that you can do it with the same materials!

@aquahobby1982 Год назад

🎉🎉❤❤ what a beautiful scenic and calm video .. loved it. I would love to see a groups of white cloud mountain minnows in this setup along with few corys . The reason of this selection is simply because white cloud minnows are hardy and will look stunning in this tank.They will not require heater as well.

@orangescalefishy1258 Год назад

Cheap fish tank: 1. Used Tank from Facebook marketplace 2. Rocks from outside as decorations 3. Sponge filter (or cheap HOB filter) 4. Rosy red and/or feeder guppy (they’re the cheapest but get whichever fish that match your water parameters) 5. Ghost shrimp (other shrimp if you want too) 6. Medication for the fish

@TCgirl 8 месяцев назад

I would put a beautiful betta in here with a couple of snails, and maybe a small school of something that gets along with bettas. it’s a beautiful minimalist set up. I love it!

@emihayashi7725 Год назад

Nice that a 10 gallon does not require a heater. Thank you for teaching us simple single small tank owners. Looking forward to your updates

@mattgray9297 Год назад

Depends on what you put in there. There’s no fish yet. 😉

@garden_creature Год назад

If tropical fish are added it will absolutely need a heater.

@arnam3282 Год назад

I feel like some kind of platinum colored fish like halfbeak, rice fish, or guppies would look great if you put a lid on it. I feel like those pop way more than the colorful counter parts of those species specially if you put a black background on the tank. As a center piece fish either dragonscale or oapl betta or honey gourami. Bottom dweller pygmy corydoras is a must for this tank. kuhli loach and other smaller cory like tail spot corydoras, salt and pepper corydoras come in a close second.

@moses468 Год назад

Two Pairs of Neon Tiger Barbs or Yellow Widow Tetras Nice Tank Setup ....👍👍

@Rick-xy4bt Год назад

The key thing not explained here is, where is the ammonia source to come from in order to feed the beneficial bacteria introduced from the Fritzzyme 7? The tank won't cycle without a food source(ammonia) for the beneficial bacteria. It won't come from fish as you stated to wait till cycle completes before adding fish.

@kaylagarcia9905 10 месяцев назад

I was watching videos on the different types of substrates and i’m pretty sure that the one she uses already has ammonia and bacteria.

@Lkjhgfdsa848 9 месяцев назад

You can just put some fish food for ammonia .. pretty easy

@willoliver9036 7 месяцев назад

@adriad4855 Год назад

Beautiful tank! I would choose a small livebearer, like endlers or maybe guppies, since I have angels in another tank to help with population control. These fish would do a good job of cleaning up food themselves, so I would only need a few copper shelled pink ramshorn snails as clean up crew.

What drives me crazy is all the videos about setting up a new planted aquarium. Does that mean you can't transition an existing tank to a planted tank? I'm a big-time gardener & I've been fishkeeping for a long time. Recently, I've been trying some new things in my tanks & I would like to try my hand at a planted tank. I'm not sure if I will enjoy combining the 2. If I like it, then I may set up a tank as recommended in this video. In the meantime, can I try it out on an existing tank with easy low-maintenance plants?
