- Using the snail treatments was one of the hardest things I’ve done in this hobby. I’m always careful with chemicals and medicines in general, and usually try to use less than what is recommended. In my experience, there have been more than one occasion where the chemical caused more harm than good. However, in this case, at one point, I used something like 12 times the recommended amount and it still didn’t do anything. This really proves the point that it requires a specific chemical for a specific case.
I’m usually fine with snails. I actually like them. If the population stabilized around 50~100 snails in this tank, I would’ve been fine with it. These trumpet snails however, did not stop breeding and would’ve crashed the tank. Think about a thousand plus snails pooping in the tank every day.
I’m amazed that the wild snails survived through all this. There are lots of wild snails still in this tank. Also, there are a few shrimplets that survived through all this. That is mind boggling.
This betta is a super frisky one. He goes crazy whenever I go near the tank since day one. Most bettas I’ve kept are usually cautious for a few days at the least, before figuring out that I’m the food source. He completely ignores the tetras. He is interested in the wild shrimp, but I haven’t seen him eat one. He also ignores the Amanos. He was most interested in the java moss. He probably has never seen one before.

(*The most important part is the salinity and temperature. At room temperature, it might take 48 hours to hatch. At Higher the temps, they might hatch in less than 24 hours.)
(*For salinity, I’m going by the 1 table spoon per liter rule. However, depending on the salt, you might want to try up to 2 table spoons.)
Brine shrimp eggs: amzn.to/2L0Y4rG
100% deep sea salt amzn.to/2YVeiFd

Neodymium Magnet: amzn.to/2QkFABu
Cherry shrimp amzn.to/2FsObxB
Amano shrimp: amzn.to/2U9pw9c
The plants in this tank now:
Micro sword amzn.to/301YQHl - Still hanging on.
Pygmy chain sword amzn.to/2HWhfyS - It stayed very short and small and sent out lots of runners.
Glosso amzn.to/2LFAVbn - They have sent out lots runners. It’s staying very small and low to the ground.
Java moss amzn.to/2N4uQsr - The ones on the rock are doing well. The ones below the water surface are also doing well
Staurogyne repens amzn.to/39SlurG - It’s doing just OK. It is a slow grower it seems.
Giant Duckweed amzn.to/2xV2iuR - It grows very fast in this tank.

A shrimplet just survived a whole nuclear holocaust in the tank, what a god.
He is going to brag about it for years to come
what a chad
😂😂😂
What's sad is he probably didnt even know what was going on, only slight water color changes. Unless...he felt all of that...ugh that's horrifying
probably had a cancer after that..
"more than a thousand snails"
Me: :D
"So I bombed the tank"
Me: D:
Me who breeds snails O-O
I mean they were Malaysian trumpet snails... In a healthy tank, they should live in the substrate and only come out at night. The fact there were so many means that there was a bunch of decaying matter in the tank or like you had earlier algae. You can get decaying matter when shrimp molt, plants die off, tank mates die or overfeeding. Basically, any tank that has live plants (unless the plants were kept in a sterile environment) will have them.
Stupid spiral race, so ignorant of the spiral nemesis.
he should put Clown Loach Fish , it will help eat all the snail

Imagine going to the pet store to return fish and saying "these didnt work"
I think that’s a way better, than going to pet store to say “these ones are pretty much tasty; gimme more, pls” :D

Yes! Startled, he realizes he’s being watched and then goes off about it.
He actually scared me, felt though he saw me and wanted to fight. I'm like, dude. Thought he was so sweet up til that. Calming aura switched on a dime.
Dam surviving Shrimplett when the others come back is having vietnam style PTSD "You wasn't there man when the chemicals dropped !! YOU WASN'T THERE MAN !!"

I laughed so hard when the fish mean-grilled the camera at 7:03 I know this was serious business for the betta, but that was absolutely a hilarious face.
It's the funniest part about them. It's called flaring and they're trying to show you they're tough. My betta has such attitude with me I wish I could box him hahaha 😂😂😂

Snails, the cockroaches of aquariums. They withstand even the most lethal of chemical bomb combinations.
Snails r like the cleaning patrol of aquariums
@@jiggermansan7474 Since you didn't sense the irony out of that, you, dear idiot, are the stupid one. The comparison with cockroaches is playing on their strength and was not meant to be criticism.

@@jiggermansan7474 I think this commenter was referring to common pest aquarium snails which are, in fact, an absolute nightmare. However, nerites, apples, and assassins, are pleasant tankmates for the most part
You should name him Virgil because in Dante’s inferno that’s who guided Dante through hell.
YESSS I was trying to think of that guy’s name! I think he should be named Virgil too! Pls like this comment more everyone!
“ Where’s your motivation?”
Not only that, his color fits too.

You thanked us for sticking with the channel, but we thank you for sticking with us. This channel and its content really does a lot of good for my mental health (and undoubtedly the mental health of others).
Stay safe everyone!
I was thinking this!! I am so glad he has stuck it out with all of us!! He was the first TH-camr I actually subscribed to because I wanted to, not because I felt guilty! And now all I want to do are tanks like his!! Wish I had enough much space!
@@meaghanb9118 Exactly. I wish I could replicate this beautiful aquarium and everything else; with my betta :)

So true!
Soo true
My dad and uncle had aquariums, and I regret never appreciating them when I was a kid. It takes a different level of control and patience to craft living art such as these worlds, something I dont see myself ever having. Thanks for making these videos and sharing the experience.
Don’t sell yourself short. We humans are constantly evolving. You might surprise yourself someday and become an aquarium hobbyist or aficionado💫

"hydra population explosion"
nerite: lol not for long
Nerite be chilling, escaping regularily and occasionally taking the decorative rings down, but he's inherited Dante's evil side
The lone shrimp and snail after all that treatment: "I can do this all day"
Exactly
And the Hydras : Hail HYDRA!!!!
That shrimp is legendary among his people.
Yoyo loaches, like many loaches, click to each other to communicate!
Gonzo Walsingham and also when they eat,
I don't get it but it sounds adorable.
That's just their mouths when they are eating. Strong bite force! (Or strong sucking? -.-) That's how they are so good at eating all of my snails...
I thought it was the sound of the snail shells snapping! that's what i thought i saw when i had them in my tank at least
Yoyo #1: "AY WHERE U AT?!"
Yoyo #2 : "I CANT HEAR U, CLICK LOUDER!!!"
That one shrimplet that survived all that toxicity! Holy cow. It's like a super saiyan shrimplet.
When you come from a family that survived Dante's killing spree, you can survive anything
I was thinking he's got super powers by now.
For those of you wondering what the sounds coming from the loaches was about, they're "clicking their teeth". They do this for a number of reasons, excitement, territorial disputes, when they've found food. I have some gold zebra loaches and they do this from time to time once the lights are out and food is in the tank. When I first got them to clear out some bladder snails in a 10g, they did it regularly, as they were gorging themselves on snails till their bellies bulged. They're such fun little gluttons, the only downside is when they loudly dig around in the substrate when you're trying to sleep, haha.
So we now call this era AD... After Dante.
I am gonna miss dante #RIPDante
Loved dante 😭😭😭😭😭😭
What happened?
What happened to Dante?
I wish I knew
Snail treatments not working:
"Is he going to create indestructible snails that will mutate and take over the world?"
Shrimplet surviving:
"No, it's the shrimp. We are done for."
Yes just like Chinese virus. Mutated and took over world!
Not sarcasm!
The candy beta seemed completely unaware that he was being watched until he made that sudden freeze face with his gills flaring. Had me laughing! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Foo, I will never understand you, your dedication to all these tanks, your deep zooms onto the claws of a shrimp. I will never understand that dedication, but I want to say thank you for the endless entertainment you have given me, I wish to one day get my own shrimp tank because if you, seeing your videos introduced me to aqua scaping. All if that inspired me, and I want to say thank you man
The shrimp who survived is on the same tier as that one single female sparkling gourami who managed to survive in a discard container of plant cuttings for an insanely long time before being found and rescued and who, if I recall correctly, was the mother of our darling Loomster
i think we should name that legend Elona
I laughed when you squeezed the snail treatment without even measuring 😂😂😂. Totally understand the frustration.
The snail treatment: weeeeeeee 😂
These videos are the antithesis of the internet right now and I think that’s why I love them.
You have a good sense to relax. The music, the aquarium, everything!
When the new fish first poked his head out of the bag I almost cried. He is so beautiful
Same tho. I've really been hoping that a betta would be added to this tank soon. Made my day.
Love the new beta. RIP to Dante and I think a good name for this one would be Nova. Since Dante means everlasting and he will forever be remembered by us all, Nova means new beginnings so to me that really suits for this little guy. 😊☺
Vote for Nova! 👍
yes! I like that!
when dante died? on which video?
@@winteriscoming4407 two months ago. It's title hobby I think but he had a lot happen that he posted about and one of them was about Dante. It was his first voiced video I think.
@@Gemini4218 yeah, i've just watched that video :(. he lost some members n almost lost his cat too. glad that he could carry on
I adore this channel, it's one of my favorites to clear my mind and just contemplate the process, it's like an anti-stress or a deep breathing before to sleep
I’m watching this after I saw your tap water problem video. You put so much care into tending for these creatures and are so thoughtful when introducing a new fish to the tank. It’s so sad that your town poisoned most of them. I’m sorry for your loss. You really tried your best to give them the best life!
Mental consulting : expensive
Watching nerite brought down the ring : free 8 minute
"Snail treatment didn't work. Overdosing didn't work either."
Oh, is he going to try double the measurement---- *pours entire product in it*
I laughed so much
Should have temporarily added a borrowed young koi into the tank. The koi would've devoured the snails in short order. Snails are a koi's yummiest treat! Problem solved.
Me too!! 😂😂😂
That is how i feel battling ich right now in my tank! Grrrr 🤣
Yeah, its so funny to torture and kill small, defendless animals hahahahahahahahahahahaha...
@@jiggermansan7474 hey now, i have two colombian giant snails ok, i love my snail buddies. I just know the struggle of fighting a war in a microscopic waterscape scenario. Plus, i dont eat animal products !
I always come back to your video when i want to see how much care you put into them. Don't ever stop doing these videos. I plan on one day getting myself a Bearded Dragon and plan on learning how to take care of one. It's really motivating when i see the amounts of effort you put into your aquariums and the life within them.
Good seeing you again after all the stress and heartaches this year has brought. Stay strong.
the sound is the loach eating the snails. sucking or cracking it.
mine even makes those sound when they eat pellets or when they are happy doing nothing but laying down upside down or side ways lol
I wish they were clown loaches!! Do you know if the yoyos have the same "personality"?
@@SC-mq1eh yuep some yoyo loaches do.
so does polka dot loaches but these tend to fight more often with each other but have strong personalities so they are fun to watch.
Currently raising most of the loach families
@@user-pj2dm8ub4i 아 안녕하세요 ㅋㅋ
@@Hoondaju
Ty! I had clowns and luved their fun peaceful almost dolphin like personality! I bought a red tailed loach because the coloring reminded me even more of a dolphin, but it was very aggressive!
S C Guys guys what are u talking about Dojo loaches are the BEST
Call him "Pastel", in spanish means cake, also the color he has is very similar to a pastel pink (I hope you see this)
It looks like he has slanted mouth. Thereby i vote to name him... Wrymouth :)
I think pastel fits him/her better
I agree on this option for the name of the new candy betta.
Omg this is such a sweet name, sounds so fitting
Pastel de nata (nutah)
It's amazing how well you take care of your aquarium! Props to you!
idk if it’s jus me but this channel has changed my mindset as a whole. it helps to calm down, helps to sleep, i have found nothing wrong with a channel like this. not even negative comments. i truly love what you do and how much you care for these creatures ❤️
I love the candy boy. He's got Dante's ">:(" face and Kartoffel's "BACON" eating habits.

where is dante btw?

Omg soooo HAPPY YOUR BACK I've missed you and your lil crew!!! I will Always stick with this channel ❤️ my friend !! Great 👌 video!!!! And for the INFO ON SNAIL 🐌 infestation..... I'm sure there are PLENTY OF HOBBYIST going thru the same SH&T....
Agree. Just like my betta when i mixed it with other fish. He killed 2 of them
was in love with this channel a year ago, then life happened, and now i finally find my way back here again :) thank you for your amazing videos
I appreciate the effort you put in to each video. These are such peaceful videos to watch
He's spunky. Flairing at the camera already.

Hi there, just want to let you know that I appreciate your videos, as a nano tank enthusiast and as a person who lives with anxiety. Your documentation of your experience with the tanks is attentive and sentitive- I couldn't ask for a more enjoyable way to relate to your experience. Thanks.
Since the last betta was Dante, maybe this one should be Virgil, his guide?
Rip dante :
LMAO isn’t it so annoying, when you try to preserve life, and fauna die. Then when you attempt a genocide, they survive 😩
I'm so addicted to these videos of yours out of nowhere! So good and now I want to make my own nano tank creations!
Your videos are better than every ASMR stuff. so calming und relaxing to watch. :D
curry the cat: appears on screen

Candy's so curious, it's so cute!
Gobstopper could be a nice name maybe. I just think naming him after candy would be cute heehee
Ohhh i like gobstopper!
That candy beta is ADORABLE! at around 7:00 when the little one got mad my heart melted 💚 so cute!
I love that new betta. He's feisty! Your videos are like zen gardens but with aquariums and I love it. Thanks for sharing these videos with us.
That betta just hit the jackpot of fishy homes.
The loaches making noise is absolutely normal ! One of the caracteristics of this kind of fish is to produce a very loud clicking/crackling sound(the amount of noise depends on the individuals and their species) with their teeth.

Rip Dante the betta fish aka a hell of a feisty guy
What happened to Dante?
Dante passed away. FOO posted a video about it last month I think.
what was the reason, does any1 know? he was the devil himself, i guess he want back home

Wow, I can't believe I enjoy watching this more than Netflix.. 😂 Thanks for making this video! 😊🙏
I love the harmony of this setup
You need to kill off those round snails IMMEDIATELY! They are even worse than the spiral ones! I’ve had them in my tanks before and they eat everything and reproduce asexually. I started with two hitchhiking into my tank on plants, thought they were cute, kept one and gave the other to my friend. Within a couple weeks she had an infestation that escaped her tank and was all over her room, I started trying to kill the ones in my tank but they are impossible to control, even with fish that enjoy eating them.
Kailynn Hernandez dude that sucks. i hope your friend is
doing okay! ( i did NOT mean to send that comment before i was done writing it ;-; )
Lol mine keeps dying.
best way to control is to minimize overfeeding. They only reproduce if there's an abundance of food. I also usually add a loach/bottomfeeder pellet and wait for them to all bunch up on it and then I just scoop them out with a net.
I'll do that for a few days and then once I've removed most, then I proceed by feeding less, only every 2nd day. And then most of the snails I guess grow weaker or something and then my kuhli loaches have a bit of a feast. So yeah, then I have maybe like 20 or less in my tank, and it stays like that until I overfeed or add things like alder leaves or IAL or cholla fingers, etc. Then they go nuts again.
Mia I’m not talking about control and if you have plants in your tank, they absolutely will munch on them til they are gone. Population control is just not enough in a planted tank when it comes to these little shits. To protect your plants from these things, genocide is the only option.
I swear the shrimp that survived is going to develop superpowers
Always look forward to seeing your videos. 💕
I love this channel, I love the videos, and I love the community. Everyone is so positive and funny.
This candy betta is SO CUTE! He’s got lots of spunk and it looks like he’s not even showing his full colors! IM SO EXCITED TO SEE HIS PROGRESS

I want to say thank you, because I have always wanted a planted tank, and it never worked until I started watching you. My goal is to eventually have a tank like one of yours, but baby steps and all. Currently I am just trying not to kill my plants, and 2 months later they're still here!
