I really like how this one turned out. I think it will really shine through as the Bolbitis matures and fills in the setup. What else would you stock it with though? Let me know!
@@SerpaDesign the nerite snails I've kept in my open tank crawl out so I'm nervous to put any in there. I've heard they do this because the water quality sucks and they want to find a better water source? I maintain my tanks regularly so I don't know about that one.
i found this earth had a crack in it, but we can make something out of it anyway. i start by removing the old human substrate, and tossing it out, since it was the cause of all the trouble anyway (haha)
Thanks so much! Because of you I made a month ago my first terrarium and gave it to dad for birthday and he loved it! Also I have been spending a lot of time in nature! I love making terrariums!
This is the aesthetic I was trying to achieve with my first tank but I had that floating wood problem which really threw a wrench into my plans. Yours turned out absolutely stunning!
Vampire Shrimp, Bamboo Shrimp, and Hillstream Loaches are some of the coolest freshwater critters and they all love flowing water. I bet the filtering shrimp will spend all day perched on the branches in front of the filter output, washing their little fans around. That would be super satisfying to watch.
Gorgeous tank! I love the section you put at the end about lighting/ferts/maintenance, I'd love to see you do a full video about tank maintenance! Also, your videos have been a massive source of peace and serenity in this stressful year. Thank you for what you do, it truly brings me (and so many others) so much joy.
You can totally tell the difference between a simple hobby and passion. You, my friend, are obviously very passionate about what you do. Hats off for this channel
Sewellia would be a FANTASTIC addition! They're are so many understated yet very complimentary dark colour forms and their behaviour in a stream aquarium is unbeatable!
Tanner must have a really good "planning ahead" brain When I saw the final hardscape, I was like, "woah. Way too many large rocks." But Tanner must have thought, "I'll fill some places with plants so that it looks good, so we don't need to worry about that now." massive props to people who can think of that stuff while doing their hardscape...
I love your design as always Serpadesign, and I love how you reuses materials. My favorite shrimp is the bamboo shrimp, and since you asked for stocking suggestions, I offered my favorite shrimp. I love all your videos, and I can’t wait for the next one!
I can`t wait to see how the flow of the water influences the plant growth once they all get established, I`m imagining something like how trees grow in super windy locations, but I guess we`ll have to wait and see! Great build, as usual. Thanks!
I recommend celestial pearl danios, butterfly loach/hillstream loach and harlequin rasbora. The rasboras will play in the flow. Very relaxing to watch.
I love danios so much, and pearl danios are one of my favorites. They seem so underappreciated! Temperate and coolwater are my favorite, especially river and stream setups!
Tbh I would not add the plants, when you showed the hardscape I was amazed. If I had to, I'd add some brownish plants to not take the attention away from the wood and the stone. I can't get enough of that aquarium. .brilliant.
This video helped me to realize what I want my 20long to look like. I've been toying with it for a while. I've tried dirted but it ways ends up being a mess. Guess I should focus on balancing the minerals in my tap. Thank you for the video! Great low tech setup!
Tanner, you absolutely have to do a mangrove reef tank if you haven't considered it already. I've always loved doing vivarium and freshwater planted aquariums, but coral is absolutely addicting.
Oh you sly devil you... the black nerites are a nice touch & exclamation point to this beautiful setup. Once again you’ve outdone yourself & never cease to amaze me...
Absolutely stunning scape! I love how much the plants pop against all the dark things in there. A school of 10-12 pygmy corys would look cool in there!
Coincidentally I've just been considering doing a nano-stream aquarium with a small long tank I've got lying around. Thanks for the inspiration as always.
A group of kubotai rasboras would actually really love this sort of setup and pop really well against the dark colors! They quite enjoy a medium flow, and mine specifically go to the more open, higher flow parts of my tank to sleep when the lights turn off! It would also be really cool to see a small group of panda garra in this tank. They would definitley love it and those yellow bars would look awesome.
after watching this video my life changed and i started aquarium hobby, thank you (: I couldn't do the same but I worked hard by myself, I shared a few videos on my channel ✋
I love watching your videos! I currently finished my second vivarium for my crested geckos. I like the way the black silicone looked better then the clear. I felt so proud after completing it.
You always outdo yourself Tanner. When I saw your choice with all black stones, gravel, and sand I said to myself “there’s no way this is going to look good. It all looks so artificial.” And then you go and make this beautiful aquascape! For a fish recommendation, I’m going to say the blue fin killi lucania goodei. Everyone has done danios and white clouds in their river scapes but I don’t think I’ve ever seen this US native used in one
I really enjoy watching you work! You make things look so easy and you’re so talented. I really love this! So often you see new builds with light sand, which I think is beautiful and usually more natural looking. However, I use black sand and this setup is very natural looking and striking! All the dark makes the green pop more. Beautiful job as usual!
I think this is my favorite so far Tanner! The asthetic is beautiful and the way those danios are schooling reminds me of trout swimming up stream... I love it my friend
black background, black sand, black rocks, and maybe something else black, it's right there on the tip of my tongue :) help me out here. if you wood :)
I loved this build so much. So aesthetically pleasing! Stocking idea: What about a Vampire or Bamboo Shrimp? They'd love the current and the nice little hiding spots. A Vampire Shrimp would really stand out against the dark substrate.
Absolutely love your tank! I think emperor Tetra is a really cool schooling fish! They're so playful and beautiful, and I think they would like this kind of aquarium!
I know I'm a bit late to this video, but I think a few bamboo shrimp would be really cool in this aquarium. I'd really love an update in general as well, this looks awesome
I absolutely love your work. I subscribed to you when I was looking for things to make for my snails they are only garden snails iv had them for about 5 months now iv made a fish bowl terrarium for them and your videos have really inspired me! In the process of making the lid at the moment!
I really like how this one turned out. I think it will really shine through as the Bolbitis matures and fills in the setup. What else would you stock it with though? Let me know!
can you do a water terrarium I have made one myself and I want to see if I did it right
I bet a kilifish would stand out really well against all the dark substrate
WOW this scape is 10000000000000000000000000000/10
hillstream loaches would be amazing in this setup!
Throw a few nano rainbow fish in there
I love how Tanner never wastes his materials. He always finds uses for everything most people would probably throw away!
That's part of what helps me continuously make new things.
It really is awesome what he can do.
Agreed
Not everytime haha look how much silicone hes using on the tropic terrarium builds
When you love nature so much, youll care for it
I really love your black snails. They look like the river rocks and I just think that is great.
That why I got them! Someone new is watching the tank, "Did that stone move!?"
I'd not heard of black snails before. Interesting!
@@SerpaDesign just tell them it’s a pet rock
@@SerpaDesign living stones
@@SerpaDesign the nerite snails I've kept in my open tank crawl out so I'm nervous to put any in there. I've heard they do this because the water quality sucks and they want to find a better water source? I maintain my tanks regularly so I don't know about that one.
tanner in 2030: 'hey there serpa squad i'm here today with a new build'
ZOOMS IN ON A PLANET
i found this earth had a crack in it, but we can make something out of it anyway. i start by removing the old human substrate, and tossing it out, since it was the cause of all the trouble anyway (haha)
A perfectly conceived and executed planet
ハードクレイジー😁
So he'll be Slartibartfast?
@@benjaminrapp7418 Magrathea had their time brother.. let's move on

white cloud mountain minnows would be cool, and maybe a few hill stream loaches.
Yesss
He already has white clouds with his toads

Beautiful. I really like that there is a current against which the fish are swimming. It makes it seem that much more real and interesting.

Sewellia would be a FANTASTIC addition! They're are so many understated yet very complimentary dark colour forms and their behaviour in a stream aquarium is unbeatable!
Stocking idea: hillstream loach, they like the high flow
I love hillstream loaches, but that water line looks a little too high. I'm sure Tanner could whip up a DIY lid no problem though lol
These are my favorite fish and I'd love to see you get some!
@@WhoTheHellIsHarvy yes. Especially the reticulated variety. It would stand out nicely against the black rocks
I have one and it his so cool, it looks like a stingray
@@brandonsaquariumsandterrar8985 Me too. Love how they aren't shy at all either. So awesome when they're swimming in open water they are so cool.
I'm just impressed by how you simply turned an ugly situation to a beautiful aquascape. Thanks for the video
I have never seen anyone so innovative and dedicated. He is really inspiring
I love your positive attitude whenever something goes wrong and you work through it
stock it with hill trout danio they look like little trout
They're a beautiful fish! Not very common in my area unfortunately.
Tanner must have a really good "planning ahead" brain
When I saw the final hardscape, I was like, "woah. Way too many large rocks."
But Tanner must have thought, "I'll fill some places with plants so that it looks good, so we don't need to worry about that now."
massive props to people who can think of that stuff while doing their hardscape...
I'd love to see some Hillstream Loach in this setup. This aquarium is awesome.
My thoughts exactly
This is probably one of my favorites of your recent builds. I really like how the various shades of black make everything else pop.
I love your design as always Serpadesign, and I love how you reuses materials. My favorite shrimp is the bamboo shrimp, and since you asked for stocking suggestions, I offered my favorite shrimp. I love all your videos, and I can’t wait for the next one!
the scaping state of this setup is just INSANELY aestetically pleasing.
Love the dark colors and the contrast with the greens.
I love how you explain almost every single step on creating this amazing aquarium
I think this one is fantastic as it is. No need for extra stocking! The danios really fit, they look like little baby trout ❤
I can`t wait to see how the flow of the water influences the plant growth once they all get established, I`m imagining something like how trees grow in super windy locations, but I guess we`ll have to wait and see! Great build, as usual. Thanks!
I recommend celestial pearl danios, butterfly loach/hillstream loach and harlequin rasbora. The rasboras will play in the flow. Very relaxing to watch.
I think this layout is the best one you've done. Looks really clean and simple
One of the most satisfying channels on TH-cam.
I've seen every build for the past 3 years and i gotta say. this one might be a top 3 all time for me! looks great!
Beautiful. Subtle, and pristine. I would love to see you talk about your aquarium maintenance. Thank you for continuing to share your designs.
I love danios so much, and pearl danios are one of my favorites. They seem so underappreciated! Temperate and coolwater are my favorite, especially river and stream setups!
I love the simplicity to this tank. It's beautiful.
Love the darkness to this scape! Those rocks are so pretty.
Looks really good. For another inhabitant that enjoys a moderate flow, I would suggest a hillstream loach.
Corydoras would look lovely scrabbling along the bottom! They’re an awesome cleanup crew too. My favorite bottom dwellers next to pleces.
Great aquascape as always! Stocking idea: You should get Rainbow or Greenside darters since streams are their natural habitat.
This is really gorgeous. I love the long dimensions of this tank- as well as the river look.
This one is my favourite, absolutely awesome
this is one of the most beautiful aquariums i have ever seen
This channel smells like fresh air.
I swear that antscanada and serpadesign post a video around the same time
They do...
They do! Lol that's my after work routine.. I watch them almost religiously lol
2 of my favorite channels!
@Bogey Man I don't think so. He has a erratic uploading schedule today was just a fluke.
Ant canada is the reason i found serpas
I love aquascapes and this one looks really very pretty 😍
Tbh I would not add the plants, when you showed the hardscape I was amazed. If I had to, I'd add some brownish plants to not take the attention away from the wood and the stone. I can't get enough of that aquarium. .brilliant.
A little on the dark side but I love dark. The only color came from the richly green vegetation. You did make it appear very nice. I enjoy your work.
Very stylish! Nice! I like that there is movement in the plants with this one.
“Yo, what’s up serpa squad?” Today is going to be a good day.
So glad to see you going back to the roots for this one. More like your old stuff!
This video helped me to realize what I want my 20long to look like. I've been toying with it for a while.
I've tried dirted but it ways ends up being a mess. Guess I should focus on balancing the minerals in my tap.
Thank you for the video! Great low tech setup!
One of the most marvilous peace of art, amazing view!
Rainbow shiners! They’re a beautiful schooling fish and this looks like their natural habitat since they live in streams and rivers
Your videos are getting me back in the hobby.
I love the look of this tank. It’s beautiful.
I love this tank. It is my favorite design so far.
I’ve always been interested in red belly dace. There’s many different varieties of them as well. They have a nice red stripe going from head to tail.
I really love seeing your geckos even though I am having kind of phobia towards them....
God I love your riverscapes builds... I think it would be so dope to have a blackwater one. It would feel so real
This was a beautiful build. I love the black gravel with black stones.
Tanner, you absolutely have to do a mangrove reef tank if you haven't considered it already. I've always loved doing vivarium and freshwater planted aquariums, but coral is absolutely addicting.
Oh you sly devil you... the black nerites are a nice touch & exclamation point to this beautiful setup. Once again you’ve outdone yourself & never cease to amaze me...
Love the new way to cut holes in the glass. Much more exact
These black rocks are so beautiful!!!
My goodness , you are good at this artform.
Simply stunning.
Again !
Absolutely stunning scape! I love how much the plants pop against all the dark things in there. A school of 10-12 pygmy corys would look cool in there!
You and Joanna from the small scape inspired me to make an aquascaped tank that I'm pretty proud of. Thank you guys!
Man... You have inspired me so much that I sure will be creating my own aquarium from scratch
I always think a stream set up needs white cloud mountain minnows, lovely little fish!
Nice looking set up, looks fantastic.
Looks awesome, the fish match the environment perfectly in color 😁👍
Had to rewind to check that I wasn’t trippin...never seen or heard of Black Silicone until now. Love this community.
The black snails!! What a cool inhabitant!!
Looks great 😀👍 I like the dark colors in the background and bottom. The greens and fish will stand out nicely.
Coincidentally I've just been considering doing a nano-stream aquarium with a small long tank I've got lying around. Thanks for the inspiration as always.

For real though I loooove this one. Easily one of my faves. Very simple and elegant. Great job!

Love that you mention paid sponsor. Well done Sir
You are a master aquascaper. Every single one looks incredible
Excellent. So natural in appearance.
I love how this tank looks it is beautiful.
Glass catfish would look amazing in this tank, and they would love the river flow!
I love watching your videos! I currently finished my second vivarium for my crested geckos. I like the way the black silicone looked better then the clear. I felt so proud after completing it.
You always outdo yourself Tanner. When I saw your choice with all black stones, gravel, and sand I said to myself “there’s no way this is going to look good.

So often you see new builds with light sand, which I think is beautiful and usually more natural looking. However, I use black sand and this setup is very natural looking and striking! All the dark makes the green pop more. Beautiful job as usual!
I think this is my favorite so far Tanner! The asthetic is beautiful and the way those danios are schooling reminds me of trout swimming up stream... I love it my friend
I like the way u explain. It is easy to listen for those English as second language
I always like seeing black sand and rocks in aquascapes, makes me thing of Reynisfjara beach in iceland
black background, black sand, black rocks, and maybe something else black, it's right there on the tip of my tongue :) help me out here. if you wood :)
Probably my favorite aquarium you've made.
Nice job Sir Tanner!! Very peaceful, beautiful set up. 👍👍👍🦃

Do a brackish water aquarium. They're really cool!
Do cool fish like mudskippers and glassfish
oh yes, i love brackish tanks!
@@brandonsaquariumsandterrar8985 Archer fish, gobies and so many others!
@@ghomerhust Me too!
Omg yes mudskippers!!!!
Looks awesome as always! This channel actually helped me cope with stress 😄
I know I'm a bit late to this video, but I think a few bamboo shrimp would be really cool in this aquarium. I'd really love an update in general as well, this looks awesome
Fish with transparent bodies such as for example ghost catfish would look beautiful in there with all the black and the contrasting plants.
I absolutely love your work. I subscribed to you when I was looking for things to make for my snails they are only garden snails iv had them for about 5 months now iv made a fish bowl terrarium for them and your videos have really inspired me! In the process of making the lid at the moment!
This is my absolute favorite that I've seen you do. It's gorgeous
I liked the general dark scaping of the tank.
Love this setup. One of the rare occasions where Tanner did not show testing the water tight sealing on a DIY system. We all know he did though!!
To be honest I don't even test them in most cases these days. 😶
