It's always nice to hear confirmation from a master that what you're doing is the right way to do things. I have a dry hardscape literally inches away from me right now that I've been experimenting on since last august, and I learned so much from just that. I still do not feel ready to plant it, but I'm getting there, and this would be my first aquascape where I make use of elevation, rocks and wood at the same time, so basically my first proper aquascape.
Dennis is a legend his website and videos are great. I've read every page a few times and watched every video. Very helpful in the construction of my scape.
Great interview Alex, his scape at AGA was incredible and his workshop was an incredible thing for those who got to see it. I remember staff coming out saying "he's still going!" after nearly 4 hours. Incredible guy!
I love this. I am in a spot of just planning a tank until i move and will have room for one and trying to learn as much as possible. You asked great questions. Thank you.
Good tip on the invest in hardscape first! You can always upgrade the lighting, filter and ci2 system as you go along, however changing the hardscape of an established tank would be a pain in the ass
Dennis!! I learned so much from his site. Also I just send beginners to the site when they ask me questions online xD Way to go to bring this content to your channel, Alex.
Hi. Really interesting video, i have a question for the next one. How you can get better at aquascaping when your client give your so low budget to scape his tank?
Unless that Betta is a plakat, neither. Long fin bettas are clumsy swimmers so the Betta would be outcompeted by the Corys at feeding, and a Honey or Dwarf gourami would be so large, the Corys would never dare to get close to it, regardless how docile he is, so they would be too shy to feed while he is close. If you still want one of these options, go with the Betta, and give him his own food, floating granules he can eat off the water surface without having to compete with other fish, food like Hikari Betta Bio-Gold.
@Lizard King Pygmy Corydoras have proper swim bladders so they are swimmers, they occupy the middle area just as commonly as the lower areas. Before giving any advice, get a clue.
Would it be racist of me to ask for subtitles? It's just that, like him, I'm not a native English speaker, and I want to know his answers but I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding his pronunciation.
