I Made A SAND WATERFALL for my TIGER BARBS

- I made an underwater waterfall for my new tiger barbs. This tank was a lot of work but I think the end product was worth it! I use a timer to have the waterfall run a few hours a day during my morning coffee and evening relax.

This week, I made a SAND WATERFALL. What do you think? These tiger barbs are truly incredible fish. They should be kept in schools and ideally in a species only tank as they can be aggressive towards other fish. They can also grow quite large (2-3 inches), so plan ahead for a larger tank upgrade! Happy to answer all your questions below ☺
That's awesome. I love having my fish tanks. Great channel and thanks for some new ideas.
You're very talented. This videos are great 👍🏼
That tank is too small for them
tank size please, I would like to recreate it
Really would suggest a more stationary or vertical swimming fish like a single Amazon/figure8 puffer, or a single discus/angel. They would be fine in there.
Beatufiul setup but the tank seems a bit narrow for the fish, I think they prefer more lenght ? maybe it is just an illusion due to the tank dimension tho
Barbs need much more horizontal swimming room, they don't use vertical swimming space as much as horizontal
Edit: wow this really blew up, I'm glad so many people are for better fish care!!!
Very true. Most fish prefer longer tanks
@@apss5736 yea
This tank is scaped for likes, not for the well-being of its inhabitants.
That tank is also big time overstocked lol
Yeah I was thinking the same throughout the video. I doubt they stay in their tanks for long though as this channel is built around tank design and is aliened with aquarium co-op. I'd imagine that after each of these videos these tanks are taken apart and repurposed for a new video. Even if this is the case though, it still does put a bad impression on new fish owners who may do a similar thing.
They need to be in a bigger tank, even at that size. You need to up the size of the tank before they grow, not as they grow. This is how you get fish with stunted growth and other health problems. That tank would be okay for cherry shrimp or smaller fish, but not barbs.
@@invaderjoshua6280 size will stunt growth. I just googled it. And barbs like long tanks not tall.. and just because they are living doesn’t mean they are thriving .
@@invaderjoshua6280 just bc someone does something on TH-cam, doesn't mean its right. anyone can post, anyone can have an opinion. barbs do need more horizontal swimming room. I have kept exotics including fresh and salt tanks and I have kept barbs before. you can even tell from the way they are all swimming back and forth at a noticeably quick pace in the video. I love this tank design and you can tell she is knowledgeable on aquatics, I just think other species would suit the tank better. As for breeding, how does it make any sense to cramp and crowd your fish, that just sounds like the equivalent of a puppy mill for fish. more fish equals more room, so why would you want to keep all of them in smaller tanks, competing for more space? Or how about you? would you prefer to live in a bedroom, or a house? Obviously you're not gonna keep it in something huge where it can't find food, just a reasonably sized tank, so the fish can all grow normally....keep an Oscar in a 55 gallon and it won't grow past 12 inches cuz the fish can't turn around. so, its spinal structure becomes stunted from limited mobility...point and case. I know breeders who breed their fish in appropriate tank size and still make tons of success. all in all life will go on whether its struggling or thriving but its up to us as humans with morality and conscience to make their existence as best as possible in our care. we have the power to let them thrive and as a way of giving back to the animal for profiting off of their literal existence, isn't it only fair to care for them as best as possible?
@@invaderjoshua6280 You can keep an animal alive under less than ideal conditions or you can let them live and thrive in the best environment possible. My niece kept a beta alive in a 1/2 gal bowl. That fish was not thriving.
@@TheVTRainMan I had a fish inside a jar, with no filter. On my windowsill. For 3 years. It ate random bugs that got caught in the jar, or bugs I found and threw in there. Sometimes I took some of the water out with a syringe, just to clean the bottom. Then filled more water. For 3 years. Fish are sturdier than you think
@@jamesbizs yea… and some times crazy people chain their kids to beds and/or lock them in rooms for their entire childhood. They are abused and nearly starved to death. But the kids survive, so you think that is ok?
Omg love it can you please do a fish room tour I would really love to see all of your amazing set ups
^ seconded!!
I've noticed this site just sets up a tank to make a video, I've seen multiple videos with the use of the same tanks from previous videos, they will never show updates because these tanks are never kept after the video is made if you notice the tanks are always setup on the same table once a tank is full of water you can't move it you have to empty it first, you are all being used for views just to make money!!!
@@mikesbigtank6015 well, it’s TH-cam. You can see some tanks in the background of her videos.
@@mikesbigtank6015 I noticed that too
Great idea
I love this project❤
I Love how creative this is!
It’s beautiful ! But I think it’s a bit small for barbs… make it many a bit more wide and also the waterfall is nice but won’t it stress the barbs?
Not really stressful it’s more natural then no flow or anything, in real life stuff would fall into the water all the time
@@ick- you have any idea how the enviroment is where they are from? Because its exactly the contrary of what you Just said
Best to buy the correct size tank for your fish- I know you said you plan to upgrade but keeping them in a tiny tank for any length of time risks stunting them plus I don’t think it is giving the best info for your viewers. Cool waterfall though!
I just love your axlotels!
I've been watching your shorts from a long time, today I came to your Channel this the first complete video of yours I've watched, and I have fallen in love with you and your creativity ❤️
The waterfall is so cool
Such an amazing tank BEAUTIFUL
BRUH HOW ARE YOU SOO CREATIVE?!
You are making cool projects but you have to learn some more about fishes, this tank is too small for tiger barbs.
Yeah Perfect for Betta
I love your fish tanks
We've succeeded in building a habitat that is not ideal for its inhabitants, wooo!
Wow the waterfall is awesome 👌
Everything about this channel is so satisfying!
Wow super talented, congrats! 👏🏻👏🏻
Looks so cool!
Jim thanks love you ❤️😽❤️
Awesome tank the waterfall idea was genius
This is amazing
tiger barbs need more living space than that. they need minimum of 80cm long tank
Goth always look so happy in ur vids we need more ppl like you
I love watching you I have to love how you care so much about your fish🐠 !
Different design, interesting. Congrats!
Looks absolutely gorgeous..other types of schooling fish will also do great.
Very Beautiful content of aquascape and the creator. Nice concept video, simple fun and beautyful
It looks like real water! and cool!
This is awesome thanks for sharing
Now that beautiful!!
Awesome video! I love your channel, and one day want to make tanks like you!
Wow it's soo beautiful
Wow so creative!! And smart!
Beautiful fish and sand waterfall tank 🤩🤩🤩
WOW that's great!
I had a tank full of green tiger barbs. When I was at the aquarium picking them out there was one of the green Tiger barbs in the orange Barb tank I got 8 out of the green Barb tank and asked to also have the Green Barb that was in the orange tank as well. I named him party hard. One day I came home from work and I counted all my fish and noticed Party hard was missing. A week later I found party hard hidden underneath my bed. RIP party hard you went out doing what you loved the most jumping out of tanks. Moral of the story. Get a lid if you have barbs so they don’t end up like party hard.
Yeap they jump quite often , having 2 aquariums next to each other , one yeeted "thankfully" in the next aquarium when I forgot the lids doing maintenance the other aquarium had a betta he got chased quite a bit before I noticed and well he got out of the mess without a scratch , one lucky fellow lol.
@@papascrumpeeh yeet is a stupid word, but I’m pretty sure even that stupid word, isn’t used to describe someone doing something to themselves. You can’t yeet yourself.
@@jamesbizs you can if ur not a coward
@@jamesbizs does it really matter?
Great idea. Thanks
That is incredible! I would love this!
I really love your videos!I hope you make more!
Amazing builds! You must stay super busy taking care of all those fish tanks!
Need more 😫 videos. I really love the work you are doing. 😉
Very cool setup
love this video you have some great ideas for your fish tanks
I love your ideas
you make aquascaping look so easy
Wow beautiful.
Beautiful
I have the same kind of sandfall in my tank! Dust is definitely an issue early on but it's beautiful for sure
Thanks tutorial aquarium
I like it
It's amazing how fast tiger barbs grow... once I had a big tiger barb, and bought a group of smaller barbs about a third of the size, and when I put them together the smaller ones grew to the same size as the big one in a very short period of time, I had the same thing happen with gold barbs but I had 6 small gold barbs and every time I went to my LFS there was a huge gold barb that was there for months and no one bought him so was like ok ill take him, I introduced them into a 55 gallon tank and in no time the small ones caught right up to the bigger one... with good nutrition ofcourse I feed all my fish a wide variety of foods... not only that but the gold barbs then started showing beautiful red coloration in the males and I kept them for years.. today my friend still has them there probably maxed out in size... gold barbs are a great fish to keep in groups and there adorable!
The new fish look cute 😊
You make it look so easy but I know this takes some serious talent. Your work is beautiful. You have easily become my favorite TH-cam channel that creates aquariums. Straight to point and showing the entire process while explaining things. Thank you so much!
I wouldn't draw inspiration from this video. Simply because barbs need much more room than what she had supplied them with but also because her other videos feature designs that can be harmful such as sharp edges in the axolotl tank
Bro stop simping man.
it not that hard
Your so lucky to have so much fish!
So cool 🤩😎
Hello !
Love the way you did a funny concept but still manage to get a very nice natural style aquarium.
The video editing is very entertaining !
I just have some doubt with the stocking of this tank. If I remember correctly, theses fishes prefer lengthy aquarium because they are made to swim fast. (Judging by the kind of fins they have)
Maybe some guppies or killifish would have been better ? I’m not sure, maybe some more experienced fish keepers could help here.
(I’m used to keep tank with almost no fish in haha)
Cheers !
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS
Wow that is cool. I actually sell PVC pipe and never thought of using it like that. Love your channel!
Very beautiful 😍
I just love seeing fish happy and people building there houses.
Brilliant!
AWESOME !
I could watch them swim around all day too!
Amazing
WoW so cool you need to set up a sea life really you’re videos are amazing 🤩🥳🥳🥳
Nice aquarium info
A few years ago I had a tank with 8 tiger barbs and 4 rainbow sharks with 2 sucker fish. I also had a tank with a betta fish
Hey there. I Think it's great to build a bridge for your fish. Please do a setup with 4 fishtanks that are all conected with bridges. If you design them completely differently it gives the fish a much greater sense of freedom.
Wow agua boja del agua !
So beautiful., God bless you
This is a beautiful setup but you should get these guys a more horizontal tank
You are awesome 🐠
Excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Awesome
I love your video’s
Lol this is like a reverse water fall!
Looks really nice.. My only concern is wouldn't these sands actually stress out the fish?
I would be more concerned about tank length than the sands falling. It’s kind of just falling against the hardscape so of there was issue they would been running into the rocks anyways.
omg...u keep blowing my mind
Did i just hear a 'putting the rocks together' foley?
Impressive.
I like your voice when you say "This!"
cool fish tank😎😎😎
Nice idea! Is the waterfall still running? How does it work after some time? Is it affected by algae or dirt? Thank you
Genius Idea
I love your videos
hey your videos are so amazing i love them its so amazing like no words to say love from india
Looks great, very original. Did you use a venturi effect to get the sand drawn into the pipe? Would be good to see the plumbing in more detail.
I like your videos 🐟
I love your video
How does the pump set up work? You went into more depth about the pvc pipe and cement than the design 😂
Could you imagine now washing sand gravel lol 😂 how long it would take to clear up
Wow…. What a great idea.
I can watch your aquarium alone for a long time...
Your so cute 😍 and your fish are beautiful.
Not enough detail on how you accomplish such builds. But always enjoy seeing em any how.
I have bin subscribed when you started TH-cam
This is so pretty! Also I love how you're so passionate about fish keeping!
OMG wow
You make really cool things. 💯💯
Appreciation comment.
I hope I had found your channel sooner.
