Another one in the books! I really like out this one turned out and can't wait till the bolbitis grows up and out of the water... that' will take a long time though. I want to let this establish for a couple of weeks prior to adding anything... Dwarf Anchor or something else? Let me know! EDIT: I'm fine! I just tried to record my voice in a way that sounded less script-like. Always a work in progress 🤷♂️
SerpaDesign, I read a bit about Hara jerdoni on German forums because I was thinking of getting a few. They need moving water and like currents. The recommended tank size is 60cm (about 23.5inch) width as a minimum and they apparently like living in groups. Your tank is beautiful but unfortunately not suitable for your anchor. Have you thought about aquatic insects? Like aquatic isopods?
Dwarf anchor, pretty please 🙏🥺 This is too dreamy 🥰 I like the not-perfectly-constrained Tanner❤️ and this nano tank is just dropdead gorgeous!! 👏 I have been wanting to see the catfish in just the right surroundings! If these are acceptable living conditions for those - pleease! Go ahead 😍 a perfectly discrete jewel! Just like you! 👍🏼😙❤️👌😄
personally I think the tank is to small for the fish especially with no filter but having a snail centric tank with your beautiful scape is more than enough!! :)
I agree with it. For any vertebrate animal I would not go under 5 gallons of water just because their metabolism is higher and they would produce too much waste for the amount of water available. (It would likely require daily water changes and would make it unstable, especially without a filter to hold all the denitrifying bacterias) Perhaps some shrimps would do, but I personally like it with some snails only.
I'm generally more concerned with quick temperature fluctuations. While in general animals and plants can thrive in more conditions than we give them credit for they love stability. In a centally cooled/heated animal room tho, it is fine. Plants simply will reduce ammonia significantly. I'd say don't underestimate them but on the other hand: Overestimating gives a margin for error. I'd include fare more fast growing plants for metal and nutrient removal. Small tanks need more maintenance.
@@a.b.8080 I think you're giving plants too much credit here. They can remove excess nutrients, etc., but not very efficiently. One or two plants plus the floating ones wouldn't even offset the output from the snails.
EVERY time I come back to the channel I can't help but be blown away by your work . You are an inspiration to me and please don't stop making art. Peace.
Awesome tank! Maybe inverts would be better, since the floor space might be too small for the catfish. Thai micro-crabs could be great, they love hanging out in floating roots
Really like it. I would add some scuds to it. That looks pretty much like their type of habitat and they are super low maintenance while adding some spunk to the tank. I personally consider anything below 10-15L to be too small for fish
Looks great as always. Love the murky look, it really portrays what you were going for. I do think a catfish would very quickly become too big for this tank though, they usually need a lot of space. Your spider wood always looks really good, whenever I go to buy some it always only has a few branches, do you have a certain place you buy yours?
I love this channel and most of the things you do, but I just can't get into this blackwater thing. Everytime I see one I just want to grab it and give it a good scrub.
I love it Tanner!! When you say you weren’t going to plant it at first, but then couldn’t help yourself made me laugh 😂 Of course you were going to plant it 🌱 It’s fantastic, I have a bristlenose pleca in my setup 👍🏽
Love the idea of using epoxy! Thanks for that! As far as stocking goes, my experience with Neocaridina, is that they don't do well in one gallon tanks without filtration. I would stay away from them. Sparkling gouramis, Trichopsis pumila,d might do well, and are very under rated. Cheers, Chris
I second that. Sparkling gouramis are wonderful little fish. I do challenge you to try a slightly larger blackwater setup with a licorice gourami, though they're apparently finicky fish.
I've been fascinated by blackwater tanks for a long time but wasn't really sure where to start. This seems easy enough to do. I think I'll do it on a slightly larger scale for a betta or some African dwarf frogs. Thank you for being an inspiration to all of us.
Love this! This gives me some ideas for my own nano aquarium. Although I love the look of the square tank, I have basically an unlimited supply of gallon jars so I should probably use those.
No I don't think so no nano fish could go in this sort of tank unless maybe a betta but it is a bit small even for it ..those catfish I'm sure need much more space even if I never heard of them before but I will do research
Nope definitively not even if they are small fish they wouln't fit in it as they love to roam around a they are active little fish and need to be in a small school . This would definitively make the fish unhappy to be put in there . I would consider this abuse personnaly
I really love this one! So swamp like! To me it screams Salamanders! I know its not suitable for them but Id love too see you do a blackwater paludarium for some Newts/Salamanders! :)
He sounds weird. Sick maybe? His voice was flat throughout, none of his typical passion or excitement. A few times he started sounding normal then quickly brought it back to monotone. Not sure if he’s trying that out for some reason, but it didn’t work. Really hurt this video. Cool tank though!
Hey Tanner @SerpaDesign I was wondering if you have settled on a stock option for this set up yet? I'm curious to know if there is no water flow or aeration how often would you need to change the water to keep it from going stagnant? Also when doing water changes on blackwater tanks do you use dechlorinated clear water only or do you make your "soup" and add more blackwater as well. As always another great video. p.s I don't know how I missed this one but I'm glad I went through my old notifications and found it, it was so awesome to watch.
So how long, like in a 50 year span, do you think these would last with the level of managment youngive to them on a daily basis, do you think these terrariums would last? Like indefinitely? Or would the styrofoam and hotglue wear out eventually?
TANNINer here, and in this one, I'll set up a nano, no filter, blackwater aquarium complete with a DIY background and other details. Let's get started...
I think the catfish would be great, but they might look better in the pond themed riparium. Also, as this setup is taller, maybe something small that wouldn't spend all its time on the bottom, like whitecloud minnows or lesser killifish would be better.
you do some awesome stuff!!!!! This video inspired me on a 12x12x18 zoomed terrarium I bought. I really wish I hadn't bought it, but now I have some inspiration to do something with it.
@SerpaDesign glazier guy here again. Use 5 half dollar sized blobs of silicon 3/4" tall to adhere the styrofoam instead of the 1/8 noodle pattern all over. You can push down and get better adherence. I mount mirrors and architectual sheet metal like this. Bonus: you can remove it in tact if you have to.
Nice setup, just love Blackwater. Do you really think the Bolbitis is growing emersed? Ive made the experience, that he needs high levels of humiditiy which anormal living room atmosphere usually cant provide :/
i'm out of the hobby for several months due to private family stuff.. but now I have the chance to start again!! and better!! this would be a nice start to try to build the same!
Why do you never add any Daphnia, Cyclops, Clamshrimps, Nematodes, Tardigrades or Hydra etc into your set ups? They'd really add to the realistic look and improve the biodiversity.
Everyone trying to judge Tanner's emotional state from his voice-over are out of line. You may not realize that sounding so upbeat and chipper is really hard with voice-over work. You have to act dramatically over the top when recording audio where the viewer can't see your facial expressions, and that can be tiring. You can't judge how a person's life is going just by the tone of their voice!
I'm planning a black water scape for my 29G tank... I have a reasonably hard water (8ph) and i have kept silvertip tetra, cardingal tetra, panda cories and electric blue rams for a year now.. they will be going into my next scape in the same tank.. how do i ensure stable ph after water changes as my tap water is hard... with my knowledge, it sounds too challenging to maintain stable water parameters (ph and hardness) and that's one of the reasons why i'm a bit hesitant to try black water scape...
Is there a way to build aquarium without producing so much non biodegradable or non recyclable waste? Hi Tanner, I'm a big fan of your videos. I keep a lot of ferns at home because there's not much sunlight in my room. I learn a lot from your videos on how to make terrarium and aquarium, but I never actually started doing one yet. Most of them require using styrofoam, silicone, plastics, you name it. This is not what I wanted. I want to able to appreciate the beauty of nature in my room, without doing damage to the world out there. Cheers.
Hey Tannar is there a way to make a tank with two different water levels? Like it has a section with 18in depth and then a waterfall to an area of 12in depth? And have it still be connected by water?? I live duckweed but when i put it in my tanks it always grows way too fast and ends up blocking out most of the light, so I'm trying to find a way to keep it contained and aesthetic. I love the channel by the way! It's like you've taken the best parts of How Its Made and Tanked and created something even better! Very inspiring and cool!!
If it was bigger you could put in those beautiful catfish you purchased. Wild catfish would really like this setup. Where I used to live you would see a mother catfish with a large ball of babies each one almost a clone of the parents swimming around. So cool. ☮️
I think maybe growing some brine shrimp in it would be a good idea, especially with it being unfiltered. A dwarf cat would produce too much waste I think and would increase the level of maintenance for such a small tank. Plus brine shrimp can be used as feeders for other small critters and fish fry so it would pay to have your own colony going.
What do you think about shrimp? Any kind in particular you’ve had? Kinda remind me of slightly aquatic nano fauna haha I think you could fit 3 or so in that very comfortably
I love DIY backgrounds, but find the idea of taking on a project like that very intimidating. It never occurred to me to do a tiny one like this to get my feet wet, so thanks for the inspiration!
Here jerdoni really need 2.5 gal and I think they like a high o2 content so not sure how that would play out in that gorgeous little number though. I only keep nano fish in my tanks and none of them really work in that size or setup really. If it only were a little larger :) You could do dwarf shrimp though!
So for Styrofoam and spray foam, I've been using a Dremel tool and it works really well. they have a cordless one that works so well I bought one for work and the hobby
I think because there is not much flow in the tank a * Trichopsis pumilus * would be a better stocking. And it would be a pretty small and cool fish for such a little set up
I'd say maybe a few ghost shrimp.perfect habitat for them, and they'll actually take on some color in a tannin rich environment which helps to be able to see them, but they're always a hunt until you get up close.
I haven't watched all of your videos so unsure if you've tried it before or not, but wouldn't a low heat soldering iron be less messy, have the same effect, and have better control over what is carved out (re: the styrofoam)?
Anyone wanting to do this, just remember not to paint the back of the foam. The foam will stick to silicon, but that pond sealant will not. I painted mine all over the first time, and within about a week it pealed away and fish got stuck behind it.
i think hara jerdoni is a great idea, anyway u need a nano thank, otherwise u cant find/feed them, i have 1 in 2 gallon planted for years. the sand and cones are great hideout, they pretty much dont move :)
Another one in the books! I really like out this one turned out and can't wait till the bolbitis grows up and out of the water... that' will take a long time though. I want to let this establish for a couple of weeks prior to adding anything... Dwarf Anchor or something else? Let me know!

Are you ok Tannar? You don't sound as hyped up as you normally are. Get some rest my guy, you deserve it :)
I just tried recording my voice differently 🤷♂️
Yeah man, you sound kinda down.
@@SerpaDesign I liked how relaxed you sounded, a kind of chill video instead of high energy and hype!
I found it really relaxing too
I was also worried, hope you're all good my dude

that small stones in the background really gives the natural aesthetic...
It could be cool to just let some micro fauna such as cyclops or daphnia live in there. Also would work as fish food for your other fish!
A great idea! I have a daphnia and snail only bw nano at the moment. It is more fascinating than expected.
When I saw the Carinian Pods I immediately thought that I'd like to live there if I were a scrimp. They'd make lovely hidey-holes.
OMG you say scrimp too?! I actually add an L for scrilmp! You made me smile..TOO FUNNY!
This is already the second video when you search blackwater tank👏
You sound tired, you alright, my dude?
Nah just tried recording my voice a little more casual this time.
I personally dont like it because it makes you sound tired. But that's my opinion.
EVERY time I come back to the channel I can't help but be blown away by your work .
You are an inspiration to me and please don't stop making art.
Peace.
Great project as always, I specifically love how you color water. But, are you ok? You don't sound as lively as usual
Thanks! I'm fine just tried to sound less like I was reading from a script.
looks amazing! i think you could also make a desert-type terrarium with this kind of background
I agree! Would look pretty cool!
Finally, kept refreshing your channel. Thanks for giving me my serpadesign fix
nobody here that’s what the bell icon is for, helps out our man too
You should make a prehistoric themed riparium with things like the resurrection plant and triops in the water
That plant would not work in a riparian setting. It would have to a selaginella that doesn't mind having wet feet.
@@SerpaDesign Ah okay, that would still make for a cool riparium though
It would be cool if you could add some common fossil stones or petrified wood too in the scape
Yeah i tried using the resurrection plant in a tank, isipod rolly pollies just eat it, they love it
Stunning tank! The level of detail is amazing. You have wonderful ideas and I am constantly blown away by every new tank.
I think this tank is to small for fish.. Maybe some shrimp but nothing more..
I love the nano builds cuz they give me ideas of what to stock my office at work with
Are you okay tanner? You weren't yourself in this video, is everything alright?
these just keep getting better!!
Greeting from Myanmar. Jeez, what an art, I wish I could do those backgrounds that easy. very glad I've found your channel. Keep them coming please.
Awesome tank! Maybe inverts would be better, since the floor space might be too small for the catfish. Thai micro-crabs could be great, they love hanging out in floating roots
Beautiful! But no place for a fish, I'd say. Shrimps would do great though!
Really like it. I would add some scuds to it. That looks pretty much like their type of habitat and they are super low maintenance while adding some spunk to the tank.
I personally consider anything below 10-15L to be too small for fish
Stunning work as always! It really does look like a clean cut slice right out of a lake
Will you try doing saltwater nano tanks?
Somehow the background for this one made me think of a beautiful museum display. I adore blackwater tanks and this one turned out wonderfully!
Looks great as always. Love the murky look, it really portrays what you were going for. I do think a catfish would very quickly become too big for this tank though, they usually need a lot of space.
Your spider wood always looks really good, whenever I go to buy some it always only has a few branches, do you have a certain place you buy yours?
Put a little piece of moss on the wood that is sticking out of the water
Looks great, you should stock it with some shrimp from one of your other tanks
This is so cool, I've never seen a blackwater tank set-up
you sound like you're super fed up making this video lol
Amazing! I really, really love this one! Im thinking about getting a small aquarium. How small can one get and at the same time be fishfriendly?
My opinion is in the 5-10 gallon range.
If you get a 5 gallon you can have betta or one pea puffer.
@@enzoalmeidadasilva5513
Thanks for The answer! I would love a pea puffer 🐡
@@enzoalmeidadasilva5513 or a few guppies, danios, or tetras.
I love this channel and most of the things you do, but I just can't get into this blackwater thing. Everytime I see one I just want to grab it and give it a good scrub.
But it is natural and make the fish happy :) and you can't get rid of it if you have some wood like him in the tank :)

I love the little fish! Although the tank looks great I think it deserves something bigger than that. Would love to see it again in another video!
yeah, no fish. keep the snails. I suggest adding a couple shrimp. they’ll love how many hiding spaces there are in that tank! beautiful scape btw
Love the build Tanner! Great work as always! I built two terrariums yesterday, inspired by your channel 🌱
Awesome! Good luck with your new terrariums 🌿
@@SerpaDesign thank you! I can't wait to see them grow and fill in ☺️

Beautiful build Tanner
I wish I didn't watch this during my bathroom break, the pods just looks like poop to me now. Dam, bad mistake on my part.
As always, you're the master of texture! It looks really good.
Love this! This gives me some ideas for my own nano aquarium. Although I love the look of the square tank, I have basically an unlimited supply of gallon jars so I should probably use those.
Drawf anchor catfish should be fine - however, you're not going to see them too often because they love to hide.
No I don't think so no nano fish could go in this sort of tank unless maybe a betta but it is a bit small even for it ..those catfish I'm sure need much more space even if I never heard of them before but I will do research
Nope definitively not even if they are small fish they wouln't fit in it as they love to roam around a they are active little fish and need to be in a small school . This would definitively make the fish unhappy to be put in there . I would consider this abuse personnaly
I love how this one turned out, however the dark water makes it really hard to see all the beautiful details of this project!
Aaaaah! I love it!
That's a beautiful tank. I was thinking you could add killies but I think they tend to jump. How about some pencilfish?
I really love this one! So swamp like! To me it screams Salamanders! I know its not suitable for them but Id love too see you do a blackwater paludarium for some Newts/Salamanders! :)

you do some awesome stuff!!!!! This video inspired me on a 12x12x18 zoomed terrarium I bought. I really wish I hadn't bought it, but now I have some inspiration to do something with it.
@SerpaDesign glazier guy here again. Use 5 half dollar sized blobs of silicon 3/4" tall to adhere the styrofoam instead of the 1/8 noodle pattern all over. You can push down and get better adherence. I mount mirrors and architectual sheet metal like this.
Bonus: you can remove it in tact if you have to.

Plz set-up a new tank for BANJO CAT FISH and also upload vdo for the same.
Not here to criticize I think you sounded chill, but also I enjoy high energy tanner. Serpa style! Don’t let anyone get you down.
So for Styrofoam and spray foam, I've been using a Dremel tool and it works really well. they have a cordless one that works so well I bought one for work and the hobby
Not a good choice for this tank, but have you done anything with killifish? Still working though the back videos, and loving it. Lot of inspiration.
The water is too black so plants might get some problem to get light. But don't take me seriously I loved the aquarium and the art of nature.✌️
If i do not like black water so the aquarium is interesting :)
@SerpaDesign is that a special foam. Because regular foam should be toxic for plants and animals in the water!?
I think because there is not much flow in the tank a * Trichopsis pumilus * would be a better stocking. And it would be a pretty small and cool fish for such a little set up
As awesome, beautiful job!! Keep up the great work
I'd say maybe a few ghost shrimp.perfect habitat for them, and they'll actually take on some color in a tannin rich environment which helps to be able to see them, but they're always a hunt until you get up close.
Couldn’t you just as easily used clay for the wall? Nice and organic material. Rather than synthetic foam
I haven't watched all of your videos so unsure if you've tried it before or not, but wouldn't a low heat soldering iron be less messy, have the same effect, and have better control over what is carved out (re: the styrofoam)?
Anyone wanting to do this, just remember not to paint the back of the foam. The foam will stick to silicon, but that pond sealant will not. I painted mine all over the first time, and within about a week it pealed away and fish got stuck behind it.
I think a couple dwarf frogs would look cool in there or maybe a couple fresh water crabs. Or even a crawfish.
I live for blackwater aquariums
In a nano tank how long are you waiting to stock it? I didn't see any mention of cycled substrate or other materials. Nice setup. Keep them coming
So many chemicals, would you drink the water after you put it in, if not maybe your fish shouldn't either.
i think hara jerdoni is a great idea, anyway u need a nano thank, otherwise u cant find/feed them, i have 1 in 2 gallon planted for years. the sand and cones are great hideout, they pretty much dont move :)
I REALLY like this tank! Thanks so much for the inspiration …
