My Most Expensive Mistake at Aquashella 

Glad that the wood made it home with you. Happy to help too!

I hid my Aquashella dancing until the very end! :D This is my first time doing a Patrons list at the end, thanks guys! Although I just realized something. I'm not sure how to thank all my great past Patrons. If you guys are seeing this, I appreciate you! So what do you think?! Was I FOOLISH or was this totally awesome.

Taylor, I actually prefer the wood you have over the one you wanted more. And I do hope you will try for the giant bettas again. At some point, hopefully, the genetics will be stronger and they will be as hardy to breed as the standards. Best of luck to all your endeavors!

BIG- Thanks to all the Gentlemen who helped you out. So nice to see the kindness of others. You did great with your scape, intense competitors on both sides and you didn't panic! Good job. Wow, I would have stressed out. Excited to see you get into Shrimp & Rice fish! The Splashy Betta are beautiful. Hope you have luck breeding your pair.💞

I can't wait to see the Fangorn Forest aquascape, Taylor! Hope you are enjoying the 'Rings of Power' series. Awesome dancing by the way!

Omg i swear your energy matches mine and even your thought process 😂😂 nice to know im not alone out here😅 "LOOK, JUST LOOK, _don't touch_ " 😂

Glad to see the shuffling tradition at Aquashella is still alive

I love the wood you ended up with, my first thought when I saw it was that it looked like an Ent.

Nice to see the Aquarium Coop and friends helping out! Love your dancing style. Reminds me of Sam Rockwell. Can't wait to see the next aquarium project.

Omg Taylor it's a good thing you skipped the Giant Copper 5:25 because I believe I took him home when Bob's Tropicals and Oh My Betta came back to California 😱😂

Nice of Zenzo and Dean to use their superpowers to save you!

That dancing at the end was a treat 🥰🥰🥲 Soo how is the cursed wood doing 😱

Your absolutely gorgeous. Love your channel. ❤️❤️🥰 The planted tanks were so beautiful. I’m building my first ADA 60H 30 now. I’m so excited.

At the risk of sounding weird, your voice is like a warm hug ❤

That is true driftwood love. 😍 The ghost wood is really striking, can't wait to see what you do with it. The bettas look beautiful too and I hope they make beautiful babies for you.

Really showing the Co-Op part of Aquarium Co-Op. Seem like good folk. Beautiful Wood.

I love seeing these miss the Betta Shows I used to go to but honestly can't keep fish anymore my hearts not in it I hate fish dying on me after 1 year or so can't do it anymore but I still use tanks as my figure holders

Hey Taylor, all your videos are awesome. You show passion in what you love. But this video is by far my favorite, because you used every opportunity to bring that driftwood home with you. Your celebration dance at the end was priceless. Love from New York.

Hopefully you flew Southwest-where two bags fly free! Lol! I can’t wait for Fangorn! And those giant bettas! Unfortunately I got 🦠 during Aquashella, or I would’ve been there!

Can you do a video explaining everything about Cycling and PH and whatnot? Nobody makes like detailed videos about it

I'm so excited to see the progress on your Fangorn Forest tank! I made a Tolkien-inspired aquascape too! Mine is inspired by The Hobbit. It's a 14g rimless and it has Bag End, and a path leading to the Lonely Mountain (made out of Frodo stone, of course!) with gold-colored gravel and colored glass beads for the treasure underneath. It houses my red twin tail halfmoon betta, Ziggy Stardust, some Neocaridina shrimp, Endler's livebearers, and of course white wizard snails!

Dang Taylor, that is some fancy footwork ya got going there!!

What an amazing piece of driftwood, totally worth the effort of getting it home! Your slow realisation of how much of a pain it was going to be really reminded me of the time I decided to bring an aquarium back with me from Canada to Australia... in carry on. The things we do for fish!

So awesome I got to meet you there finally! Have to say thank you for getting my little tank into the video as well. Was a very late night planting that one haha.

OhMyGoodness, I can't wait to watch you scape that beautiful huge aquarium! So glad you shared some Aquashella with us. Thanks Taylor 🙂

Lord of the Rings tank!? I love it! Can't wait to see how it come out.

I loved the whole video, but was taken way aback by how good you are at dancing lol

Taylor Gabalor..nice work!!

Taylor it was really great to meet you at both the VIP gathering the night before the main event and then at Aquashella (Dallas) sorry we couldn't provide cooler temps. I'm glad everything made it safely home. I had to do everything to not buy all the things either. I hope to see you next year at Aquashella Dallas again.

I can't wait to see your new wood in the tank!

Axolotls are adorable. I have a golden axolotl named Axl after Axl Rose. He’s hilarious and greets me every time I come up to his tank.

It was so nice to see the community come to together to support you and make the giant box! haha :)

Holy cow! you can move! that wood lolololol!!!! Can't wait for the build!

I'm so bummed out I didn't get to say "Hi" to you this time. I got all the way to Dallas but it turn around the guy I was driving with had the sickness so I thought I had to drive home and I'm glad I did by the time I got back I had it. But I have a question to ask you the next time I get the opportunity to talk to you!!

Your creators aquascape looked great! BUCKET!!! 🪣

Awesome piece of wood very creative

Very awesome time you had! Looked like so much fun🙂👍🏻 Nice driftwood and fish you got there! Looking forward to the scape in your big tank😍 thanks very much! -Jeff.

Thank you so much for a wonderful video :D we hope you enjoy and able to breed the pair.

when was this?? ive always wanted to go to an aqua con, anyone know if theres another this year?

Good job girl!! And great dancer!!

Love it 8 minutes into your video and yes that is it excellent tree branch or root and it looks like I am Groot!!!!!!♡♡♡

Oh so excited to see that wood in the forest scene! As soon as I saw it I thought of the forest in LOTR and that ghost wood is amazing! Your competition tank was great too! Also those Galaxy Bettas 😱🤯🥰😍🙌

Is there a good video anyone can recommend on using plants that grow above the water with their roots in the tank?

Looking forward to seeing your Fangorn Forrest tank! I'm sure I will find it Entertaining.

Love it! I knew you would wind up wit more Bettas LOL. I know where those Medakas ended up too! I guessed it when I saw your Pond Video hahahahahahaha. Thanks for sharing

Okay, #1 THANK YOU for the Aquashella footage, #2 you did an excellent job of storytelling and major #3 super solid edit. I’m impressed. Great work! And you mixed in a little Zenzo for good measure 😁

Loved the video. Can't wait for your video of you aquascaping. And for you to make a tank for schrimps🥰

It was so nice meeting you at Aquashella! You're the best, Taylor.

Aaw I was hoping the gargantuan box held a gargantuan whale-Betta 😐 Nice wood tho!

Was just about to ask about the Lotr Scape. I'm now excited 😁

Cool! Aquashella looks like it went great! ⭐️

okayyyy! Didn't know you shuffled as well! Get it

Little Taylor has a weakness for big wood. You've done it again Taylor ;) looking forward to the upcoming videos :)

These conventions look so fun!! I hope I can go to one some day, would be so cool to meet you! :)

You are hilarious! Thanks for the fun video!

In your LOTR tank you must name each fish after a movie character.

the dancing was my fav....

I turned on your channel bell so I dont miss you starting on the new tank 😁 I definitely voted for the lotr theme tank and I cant wait to see how it turns out!

Can't wait to see how you aquascape the new large tank!

Lol glad u got help to make your giant box for your goodies to make that fangorn themed tank that's going to be dope

I understand your stuggles. Many years ago I found a HUGE piece of drift wood at the river. Of course we were in my Camry, not the truck. I ended up folding the back seats down and fit the smelly piece of wood from the end of my trunk all the way to where my gearshift was. Did I regret it? No. My Iguana named Godzilla loved it. I loved the dancing!

I was wondering, are you gonna be there for the Chicago aquashella? I’m in Michigan and I’m debating weather it’s worth the trip😭

Did you bring the fish on as carry ons? I have always wondered about this when I am out of state and wanting a fish 😅

This is very nicely edited 👌

SHUFFLE DANCE!

Loved meeting you at Aquashella Dallas (WTF Where’s The Fish T-shirt ;)! Genifer

It'll be so cool if Taylor gets a green screen eventually for her background so that she can like have her fish swimming in the background or something that would be so awesome. For those sections where she's standing in front of the white wall.

I can't wait to see what you do with that tank! I'm sure it will be really cool :)

Seriously cool! I am glad it’s not just me that does things like this😂

girl you gotta let us know what it cost! how much was wood how much to get it on plane? was it cheaper then shipping?

I’m very curious how they actually set up at a convention like that - do they set up the aquascape before or do they do it when they get there?

Gah!! I'm sad I can't make Chicago 😔.....next year for sure!!

I wish I could go to Aquashella, but I’m in Australia 😢

8:51 me everytime i think akout my life choices😅

Another cool video -- can't wait to see the next scape!

Totally enjoyed this video:)

Awesome I would love to go to aquashela some day

I never thought that bettas could be trained .. wow

I just came home Monday from Chicago...I went to the same wood vendor, and came home with 10 good sized pieces....was able to fit them all in my suitcase, bought two tanks, and won a jellyfish art nano tank!!...luckily, my LFS guy from Michigan was there and took my stuff home, while I took the train home 🙃

ok, so I have been wondering. Did I spark the idea of the LotR tank? I remember you saying "ooohhh" when i mentioned trying to find an Eye of Sauron to put on the top of your spooky rock because it looked like Mt Doom.

I was taken by the many giant male Plakats that come as Koi, Copper, etc. It's so cool to see so many Gorgeous Giant males. I love those Galaxies, you got at Aquashella. Best of luck with your fish, aquariums and wood. 😁😁

Always excited to see a new video from you!

Fun video!!

You never disappoint with the videos 🤗👍😬

I met you at aquashella!❤️

Love all your videos!! But this one is just awesome!!❤❤

Looking forward to see what you make for a shrimp tank, they're actually what got me into the hobby. 😊 (Guess my profile picture kind of proves it... 🤭)

Nice dance moves! 😎

I can tell you were fun in college!! And still fun 🤩

Sport equipment and maybe intruments are travling for free on a plane. Idk what kind of sport you could do with dry wood though lol.

We bought two at splashy fish! Two big gorgeous boys!

Cool wood, can’t wait to see the scape

I'm going to be closing down my tanks in the near future for a couple of reasons... 1. I want to reorganise the garage. I want to get a wood lathe and do some woodworking and I need to move the tanks around. 2. I want to make some proper stands for my tanks and I need to make the space available (see point 1). 3. My mum suffers from Alzheimers and has lung cancer... and she doesn't have long left. So, I can't spend as much time caring for the tanks as I should. Plus when my mum passes, I need to move house. So, having the empty tanks is going to make things easier for me.

Stupid does stupid do... Without stupid there won't be smart😅🐶🖤

The town fish nerd, you continue to be RELATABLE 😭

Damn, you can freakin' dance!! I wish I could dance.

Ughhhhh it’s not the evil driftwood….. but I guess I approve … lol

Your name should be Shuffle Betta, nice dance moves

Great video!

The baby tank kills me.
