Is this something we want?
No.
Is it something we need?
*Yes*
I want it
I got it
@@FishForThought lol😂👌
also no water, no tank , and no gang violence
Fish for thought needs to do a Minecraft series
ChumptheboarderPlays yes because that’s why he made his channel
Exactly
haha xD that response
Yes
I aspire to have such good tanks some day, chris is literally the reason i got into this hobby and got my first "tank"(half full tote, lol)
once you get plants there's no going back. You're addicted. You lose all your money.
9:16 Just silently appreciating plants. I can relate; that's how I got into this whole thing. My first glimpse was when we decided to get dad an aquarium for his retirement since he seemed very interested. long story short, I ended up more interested than him, then a fishkeeping friend caught wind and he just silently shipped me a shitton of plants, when they arrived I had that 9:16 moment, and at that moment I knew this was going to be my new obsession.
Snuck into the bathroom at work to watch this lol.
Dedication at it’s finest
The Soulful Equine yessir! Lol. I was the one that sent you 20gal with black sand lol.
ArnoldQMudskipper 😂😂😂
Here’s Minecraft music opens eyes and see a fish video
Your local fish stores have such cool tanks Mike have dead fishies and dirty water :// I wish I could take them all home
9:12 I thought he pulled out some weeeeeeed
I mean he did pull out that proweed
I love how it was in baggie for the plants lol
Your local pet store is like comparing a diamond with a rock filled with dirty stuff (My local pet store)
Same
Aw :( that sucks guys... I don't wanna know the pain of having bad LFS... Hope things get better for y'all honestly.
@@FishForThought if the local pet or fish store does not have what you need you can always check out the gardening Isles who knows you might find some interesting stones to put in the tank. After giving them a good rinse that is.
@@FishForThought yeah mine sucks too, they don't even consistently have OTOCINCLUS so I special ordered them, and then they put them in a tank with a CHINESE ALGAE EATER, so none of them had TAILS do now I have to wait for more.
That tank is looking really good! Love the plant selection
So my local Walmart got so much harassment over the fish and ended up giving a bunch of them away for free and a little girl her mom and her aunt came into my workplace I knew the little girl head go fish well she mentioned the lunch got her an "algea eater" but she didn't know what kind so she asked me cuz she knew I knew a bit about the more common aquarium fish so she pulls up the picture and I have to give her the most horrified wide-eyed look and tell her to look up "common pleco". They told her that people keep these little algae eaters in little bowls all the time and they won't get to big in their little tank....
My local Walmart was giving out common plecos for free and telling people they can keep them in a bowl...
The little girl cried to her mom because she loves her fish and wanted to make sure it would be ok (she even cried when the aunt asked me if GloFish were dyed). Then the aunt said "well if it gets to big he'll have to find another home or get flushed" and the girl started crying again. Then the aunt said "when it gets too big well get rid of it and get you another little one and then when that one gets to big will get rid of it and get you another little one". This girl was crying no stop in the store and kept begging to get a bigger tank for her pleco (she has a 10 gallon now)
atleast she got a bigger tank, a lil happy ending:)
Omg foo the Flowerhorn posted again.. wait nO-
haha omg xD
I recently decided to experiment a dirt + aquasoil vase to grow some plants. It's been 2 months now and the growths are crazy! New shoots and runners every week, I'm growing Hydro. Tripartita, Rotala Indica & Rotundifolia, Ludw. Palustris, and some Crypts.
Same cannot be said to my 6yrs old 23L Fluval Edge, some of the plants seem to be dull
Love your videos, and your fishkeeping style.
My favorite fish tank stands are thrift store furniture. Charming, sturdy, wooden pieces from various decades, they give my tanks character. Each an artistic masterpiece framed by it's own unique stand.
(And I don't mind saving some money for more fish supplies either 😁)
Ahh 3 gallons
3 gold fish and 1 angle fish
@Abdullah T.Abu Halaweh I was gonna add a Jack Dempsey, King Crab, Arawana and a few other things. Thanks I won’t forget them!
@@Gre993 fire eel and some peacock bass. Maybe a jardini
@@Darkfaderalert OMG are you the real El Chapo? Your my favorite super hero!!
@Miriam Hoehn Oh yea, just got 9, now I dont need to do water changes
Choose plants like: Hornwort
, Java Moss, American Waterweed, Egeria, Limnophila and/or pearl weed. Add some Nerite Snail for the future algae. I would put in the first 2 weeks sponge filter just to wait for the soil gets good bacteria and to processes the organic compounds that the soil is released and the extra oxygen will help with good bacteria. Do 30% water changes every day, until the bloom decrease due to the soil. A hug from Brazil!
So I know you mentioned waiting for the plants to root before trimming, how long do you think is a good amount? I have some plants that I put in my tank that absolutely took off and I'm not sure how long I should wait before I trim them back.
if it's been taking off then I'd give it a week and then trim. If it's not breaking the surface, then you don't rly have to trim it yet so give it more time. I trimmed in about a week because it maxed out on the surface.
did you put any water conditioner? or did you just put tap water?
if you don't mind bladder snails. i've found they will clean up that bacteria bloom pretty quick
i tried deep sand bed for about a year with 5 tanks, very swampy, it worked but wasn't great, and gassy, i tried dirt, im sticking to bare bottom tanks with matten filters, fast growing plants, pearl weed, duck weed, water wisteria, some anubias and java ferns mixed in, have subwassertang and some random moss all over the bottoms, with a light sprinkle of sand
I enjoyed watching! Thanks for sharing this video and keep it up! Happy Fish Keeping!
Can’t wait to see the updates on this tank. That looks like a fun tank!
You should do a meet and great at a local pet store because I know some of your fans from Vancouver would love it ( including me ) :) love your vids
Aw thanks for the suggestion! I am actually quite introverted and shy so it'll take some time for me to muster up that sort of thing... but I hope to eventually do one!
I really like the Minecraft/wii music you use in your videos. Please don’t ever change that
i am so happy to see you expand your hobby. I can tell you seem very down to earth and i find all your videos enjoyable and calming..so excited to see whats next!
This is next level editing and filming job
Lol
Dear Chris:
You did an amazing job of aquascaping this tank with some, fine substrate, driftwood, and plant species. I am concerned that the Endler's livebearer fry will be in danger of ammonia spikes at this stage, however. Also, what is the water temperature? Is it warm enough for an Endler?
My, two, 10-gallon, potting soil tanks have algae issues. The shrimp tank has green, hair algae. The bedroom tank has some sort of short, but hair-like, brown algae. I removed the driftwood, fish, and heater from the bedroom tank, but left the hang-on-the-back filter. Aside from reducing the photo period, cutting back on nutrients (feeding), and introducing fast-growing plants; what are some ways to combat algae? I'd like to add some, amano shrimp (Caridina multidentata) to the shrimp tank. But, I'd like to deal with the source of the algae issue, first.
Thank you for posting this, entertaining and informative, aquascaping project. I look forward to seeing how it turns out.
All my best,
Sincerely,
E. J. Brinegar
Hey E.J. always nice to see a comment from my subscriber from the good ol' days. Endler has been doing okay, the frogbit rly takes out nitrates fast. for temperature, it is summer here so there's not much difference between the other tanks. I believe decreasing the photo hours will do the most to combat algae, there's also just mechanical removal. And perhaps feeding a bit less. Good luck, and thanks!
Did you wash the substrate?
no... omg was I supposed to :c woops
Eats a banana*
"It's not that ripe it's KiNda fLoUree."
Well I didnt know this was a 'judge a banana'
Great video! Could you give me a list of all your plants in this tank? Thinking about doing a similar setup with a divided betta tank 10 gallon
He mentions them at 9:30
I love the selection of plants I wish my tank would look like that .One of mine is starting to look like that right now I’m focusing on my 3 foot tank which is 150 was on soon hopefully look likeYour smaller tanks I like the videos keep them going
Hi, will there be a follow up video? Planning to do my own tank like this and I would like to see how it worked out for you
Your hairstyle fits very well in this vid!
Bro your yt is really Flourish-ing! Videos are ADA this world! You're straight up Killin it with these kids lately, planning and planting like a beast! Thx for this cool build! 💖
aha these puns xD
I'm writing from Taiwan. Finally found a bunch of the red plant that's in Chris's tank.
One know the name of it cuz it looks fantastic as a background plant in my tank and it's also been planted up front.
You’re awesome Chris! Love your channel, joining your patreon on payday this week. Keep forgetting to so I set a reminder on my phone haha! Can’t wait to see how this turns out, I’m attempting my own no filter no ferts tank myself so it’ll be cool to do the journey with you!
Thanks for the support Eric! You are also already supporting me by enjoying my content, so please don't feel obliged to give! Send me pics of your tank if you want, excited to see it in the future :)
Hi there
That stand is ballin bro! Clearly need shrimp in that biatch.
Chris will be that big Boss of the chinese Triads with a 1000 Gallon Tank behind him 😎
I'm excited to see how this tank goes!
Duuuude I'm loooooving the editing. KOBE!! 😎👌
haha KOBE!
All I know is that it's an amazing stem plant and it grows really long roots if you put it as a floater but then I decided to take it and put it in the back of my tank and it grows even if it's just feeding off liquid fertilizer it's really cool.
My tanks get dosed twice a week and I haven't lost any plans so far.
Hopefully in the future I'll be switching to aquarium soil but it's so expensive in Taiwan.
But I have a friend who's Taiwanese and she's going to help me buy it online
Love the elevator/on hold music 🎧🎶
Nice tank, I have a 3 gallon hexagon. I think I’ll make a no equipment shrimp tank
AJ E I have a bowl that is ~2.75 gallons that has nothing but some plants and a desk lamp as equipment. It has 7-8 adult shrimp and dozens of babies. It’s been running for almost 6 months with no deaths I have seen. So it’s definitely possible!
@@benblassingourami984 I'm curious about your maintenance and settings
Fabouls it’s an almost 3 gallon bowl from Walmart, pool filter sand substrate, ludwigia, hornwort, and mosses for plants, just a cheap incandescent desk lamp as a light, ~10 cherry shrimp and lots of babies. I do a ~40% water change once every two weeks. Super easy.
@@benblassingourami984 Thanks, that's quite a simple setup! Shrimps are nonexistent in my country and I want some so bad, they're fun to watch
Amazing video
Cool tank but one thing that will make it way better,,,,,,,,,,paint the back panel glass black.
You are right! I am hoping the plants will become lush enough to block out the back entirely
For a 3 gallon, I’d stock chili rasboras in it. Luckily you can put a school of 6, since they have such a low bioload. I wish I can easily find these fish, but my local lfs are usually always sold out. Damn it.
love the minecraft music XD
12:00 Kobe!
Is the fertilizer in the potting soil not toxic to fish?
It may become toxic if not enough water changes are done/ not enough plants sucking nitrates
Also for budgeting,why not get some REALLY nice neocaridinas and set up or convert a tank for shrimp? Its very profitable after you get it going. But find a store or someone willing to buy in bulk,I find that easier than selling to individual people.
I have tried that in the past ish but they never seemed to wanna breed in my water... will try again in the future for sure
Aw that sucks to hear,did you ever figure out why? The only time ive not had neos breed is in softer water and without a calcium/mineral source. Check out mineral stones on amazon or locally,those should help :D (or just use crushed coral)
absolutely beautiful
Me*making applesauce*: uuuuuuUuU miCrO wOrms 🐛
Hell yeah man looks good 👌
Nice nice tank niceee bro
Chili rasboras are the way. Literally my fav fish
I’m making a betta tank. There is one blue and red, halfmoon betta in it. What plants should I use? Fish for thought (idk his name I just started watching a week ago :/) prob won’t see this so I need YOUR help. I was thinking maybe some Anubius or Amazon swords? The tank is 10 gallons. Also, he gets pretty lonely so I thought i could put some snails or maybe another fish? What should I do?
Hey Chris you can use your fingers. I have cerebral palsy and in Taiwan the aquascaping sets don't exist unless you buy them online
I honestly can't use aquascaping tools so I planned this done planting by hand
Nice best fish channel 😎I like your fish tank reviews
Beautiful!!! Wish I could grow plants without them melting. 😪 Any advice?
good light and good substrate! some plants will melt initially when in a new tank but will grow back.
Fish For Thought I have a deep tank 25” but I run a finnex planted 24/7 cc led light.
Nice deep up my dude !
Thank you Kanye, very cool
ay y'knowwhatimsayin' jesus walks brotha
who is your plant suplyer i live in the vancover area as well and would like to know the plant supplier
My favourite channel
Hmm first time I've ever seen a dirted tank topped with Stratum. I would've thought that Stratum would have all the nutrients the plants would need. Subbing for updates and maybe I'll have to experiment with two tanks side by side - one dirted with Stratum and one Stratum only
My thoughts too. Was scrolling comments looking for it. My thinking is that stratum is an aquasoil and using potting soil is doubling down. I thought it would be unessassry.
Yes It's not very necessary, but stratum and other substrates like it take some time to breakdown and will remain balled for a while. This causes more possibility for melting of the plants. With dirting, the plants are able to become established a bit faster.
Fish For Thought I could see how that would make sense. Thank you for the reply and I look forward to the updates
I like this guy! He’s funny
I love cheesy funny 😂
Wood looks like an overly happy groot
maybe you can get an african dwarf frog in the future!
Pretty cool.
Way late to the party. I noticed that there was some bladderwort attached to some of the pearl weed. Hope you saw that as well and got rid of it.
I wish I lived in a climate where I could have tanks without tops. Unfortunately, there's too much evaporation once I have to turn on the heat in late October. For me the heat has to be on for 6 months of the year.
I got a great deal on an Aqueon 7.5 gallon shrimp tank kit. Your scaping on this tank has inspired me to a first attempt at aquascaping. I'll maybe send you a photo on insta once the tank is up and running. Thinking about doing a shrimp and male endler tank. I have a crap ton of black bar endlers. The line I have breeds very true, so even the "culls" look great.
That pet store looked a lot like a store i have near me called sandys
Nano tanks are the best for aquascaping. I put tadpoles in mine after my Betta died
You could do a least killifish colony
chilli rasbora for the tank
6:18 I understand. I get it. I feel your pain. I know your struggle
how did your water not turn black from the stratum?!
You have my dream fish store :(
I love that 3 gallon tank! what brand is it and where did you get it from?
Elz :D I’m looking for a tank exactly like this. A 2-3 gallon tank just like it for shrimp. I have a 3 gallon half moon that is too tall and not enough crawling room.
I got it at petsmart but it was clearance so I'm not sure if they sell it anymore... and I threw away the packaging :c
liked the video before watching :)
Victoria Hurst your actually serious, I thought you were joking
@@brandonwhite9270 why would i be joking lmao
Victoria Hurst so he could love your comment
@@brandonwhite9270 id be joking so he could love my comment? huh? just showing my support to my fav fish channel dude
Victoria Hurst I don’t know, cause lost people do it, didn’t mean to offend you
Tis some Endlers in the 3 gallon
Hey Chris set up my 5.gallon tank like this and it turns out I was able to find stem plans that aren't croaking cuz I saw the water problem
What fish can live in a no filter no co2 no fert tank? Can all tropicals live in it?
I wonder what would happen if you stuck a N. Davidi shrimp or two in there? They’d probably get to work on those bacteria blooms, and if I recall correctly, are pretty low oxygen demand, since your plants are still babies and not pumping out that sweet sweet oxidation juice.
nice suggestion!
he love his fluvals
i got soooo excited when i saw the title in the notification
Why does the minecraft music fit the vodeos so much, like, it just makes sense. Lol
How do you calculate the requirements to not need a filter or CO2?
it's a rough estimate, and you pick plants that are lower requirement.
You should put some kind of tetra in it like the neon/cardinal. And dwarf corydoras would be nice
those are tropical fish and need a heater.it would be rather cruel to put them in a tank like this.
Oh wait im stupid. I forgot the whole 'no heater' part😂😂😂
Isnt that king ed’s? Fav store to look for hardscapes! Also been watching your videos for a while now and didnt think that you were a fellow citizen. Subbed!
ayy! Yeah :) I like them for hardscape stuff too. When I don't feel like going all the way down to Aquarium's West
Whatvcauses the growth of the wood bacteria and microworms? And do fish eat microworms?
just because it's a new tank, an influx of nutrience. the microworms hide in the soil and emerge when water is added. fish will eat microworms yeah
@@FishForThought ok
💯
Is that white stuff perlite in you soil? Perlite will float.
Is there a place we can purchase this tank online?
not that I know of unfortunately :(
@@FishForThought darn! Thank you though! 😊
I'm pretty sure that cabomba is actually limnophila!
nice baby endler in that tank
Chris I wish you were living in Taiwan all the plants are inexpensive. The ones that you just mentioned it's like by 6 maybe five US dollars
Every store has like a different selection so you're going to find different things depending on how many pet stores you drive to
