    I made and aquarium to replicate the white cloud mountain habitat. A very simple design using seiryu stone, quartz sand and a plant that is not designed for aquariums haha.
    This is something I have had planned for a while now and I'm really happy with how it turned out. A very simple design but I feel it gives and nice effect. Keeping things simple but still look half decent is a whole skill in itself.

    These rock scapes always resonate with me. I like to go for walks, and we have a lot of streams, rivers, creeks, pools, outlets and such around. What most of them have in common are minnows, rocks and sticks. Not much by the way of vegetation in the water itself.
    As an aside, I love white clouds too. Easy to get, easy to care for and the look good.

  • @darrylmoore5847

    I am normally a more plants person, but I think this could be your best scape yet. Everyone should keep White Cloud Mountain Minnows at least once.

    I would love to see you attempt a tall aquascape that's similar to the paludarium tanks you've used but solely water/an aquarium. It would be interesting to see the different fish in the varying areas of the water column!

    i actually caught white clouds in a shallow stream running near a temple on top of a mountain, when i was a teenager. i didn't know what fish they were until i read that thin fish book i had back then. i still keep this fish and paradise fish, they are my childhood memory.

    Great design for a great fish! Love them.
    Been thinking about starting some tanks after 20 odd years away from them, and this video has been the push I've needed!
    Now I have to source some healthy minnows!
    Thanks.

      I believe that the plant is Nandina, commonly known as heavenly bamboo. Depending on the cultivar, it grows from 3-8’. But, I am sure it can be trimmed down to keep it very small.

    @thejimb76 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another beautiful scape. I winced at 2:20 when you dropped that rock. Probably because I dropped and cracked my iPhone glass yesterday😁 I never thought of Nandina as an aquarium plant, or even an indoor plant. Here in SoCal, where is called Heavenly Bamboo, it’s a major landscape plant. People have 6’ hedges of the stuff in full sun. It looks great, but you might want to keep an eye out for an eventual replacement. Luckily, the way you have it set up, that will be easy.

    Hi! I think you should give Utricularia graminofolia a shot in that setup. Plant it somewhere above the water on the rocks with a thin layer of javamoss as it's "substrate" whith some water running through it from the waterfall. It has worked out really well for me and it looks amazing when they bloom.

    Great work with this scape!! Although I think a tiny amount of dwarf hairgrass or something similar would look incredible inbetween the seiyru stone! That's probably just me tho tbh
    Also I think that other tank would be great for a betta! Whether you move Mike in or get a second betta, seeing a single betta in a tank a good deal larger than they need always looks great!
    Edit: I think inbetween the stone is not quite the word I was looking for, more so near the base of the stone is probably closer to what I mean ^^'
