This has been my tank set up vision since my early 20s, can't believe you've done it! I can't wait to try it out myself once I get my life together. :) Favorited.
I love the stainless steel wire idea for hanging plants on the side of tank. I was trying to find a way to hang plants and this is great idea@
Thus is the best aquascaping channel here. It's simple, calm and most importantly, without unnecessary jabber and with lots of information.
That purple orchid is beautiful, and very cool to keep in place using the steel wire..
I truly enjoy every single video from you! Great and fascinating work!!
I don't understand how I haven’t discovered this channel before. Love your content and thanks for sharing your ideas and knowledge. Your Betta is gorgeous😍 New subbie here👍🏼
Thanks for subscribing! :)
Loved everything about this vid. Thanks!!! 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Wow the orchids have me sold on this idea
Love the scaping. 👍🏼
Lovely tank, gorgeous Betta!
Thank you!
Such a beautiful betta I've ever seen..!!!
Thank you!
Wonderful work, congratulations.
The setup looks really beautiful. However, most orchids hate wet roots and frequently die if the roots remain in too much water - that’s why there are special pots for orchids to prevent wet roots. I am also curious about the betta in an open tank - my betta loved to jump, so I was closing even the feeding window each time after feeding. Please keep us posted on changes in your tank!
Actually you can keep orchids in just water. Watch the Orchid Girl on TH-cam. I'm thinking about trying myself.
I keep my betta in an open 5.5gal tank. I use the lid overnight in order to retain some condensation and to avoid the chance of him jumping for any reason, but my betta has a very shy and kind of nervous personality. He is extremely picky about a lot of things in his tank, but is overall quite satisfied and doesn't feel the need to jump or explore anything else. I think it really depends on a fish's personality.
D M there is a lid on it
Any update for the orchid in this tank?
Exactly what I thought! And found this, one of the most popular orchid enthusiast’s opinion on water culture

Beautiful ❤
I enjoyed that thanks for sharing
Very nice ❤
Beautiful looking tank as always 👌
Thank you! 😊
Superb brother
Pls add more fish/shrimp/snail in your tank😍 rly want to see that, tks!
Will do!
A peace lily would do great in this setup. Or a pothos! Try that out I would love to see those plants.
Great idea! You will definitely see them in future builds!
@@RegisAquatics Yay :) I will definitely watch
Very nice I too want to have this type of nice fishtank.
Sweet man 😋
Can I get an update on how the orchid is doing ?
Interesting that orchids can be grown hydroponically..but near everything can once you try it. Just make sure the water gets plenty of iron. The fish waste are good enough for the rest.
I thought because orchids are aerial plants they won't survive if partially immersed .
Same
@Lactation Nation With water culture you have to transition it and the orchid does not have its roots completely submerged in water nor does it it stay in water constantly. Sticking an orchid into a tank like this will kill it.
most likely it will die.
people grow orchids in hydroponics, that has a wet dry cycle. Fully underwater like this will kill it.
Lots of other sloppy work on the video too.

Wow
Please upload another video about what you feed your betta..!
Fish are happiest with live plants. ❤
So true!
Wow:)
From an easy planted tank to an easy masterpiece!!!
No excuses for people with plastic staff on their tanks !
george rapp except some people can’t afford to get live plants. It adds up really fast, others simply can’t invest the time into the care of live plants with all the extra effort they need. You are right, people should opt for live plants but only when they can or if they are capable of maintaining them. Otherwise it ends up as a waste.
Thanks George! It’s still a work in progress!
@@alissacambel1661 the cost is very low and easy plants doesnt want something , on the other hand a dead tank easy increse amonia and need water changes very often .
i have a planted little tank and i dont mess with it at all.
its automatic !
Very nice, subbed. Also, like #952. Thank you for visiting. Keep connected. Be safe!
Hey! That's look amazing. Can you please tell me how often you change water and how much %.
Orchid roots can absolutely thrive in a hydroponic setup, there’s several vids of people just growing them in jars and having way better root growth than in substrate, and having them in a tank like this with nutrient-rich water seems like a step above even that!
Nice nice and nice and i am going to buy 2x new tanks , good ideas there but will the orchid survive with its roots inside the water for long term??
Beautiful. What are the other 2 fish in the tank?
رائع جدا
the orchid is a beautiful touch how has it been holding up?
Hi, I like the idea of an orchid but surely being emerged in water would that not rot the roots?
Love your work.
Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K.
stay safe and well.
great video, is there a reason why you added the cryptocoryne and hygrophila after 4 month and not when you set the tank up
Great video! What model of heater is it? The link doesn’t work anymlre
The best planted tank video I've seen till date!❤️❤️
I've a 20'×15'×15' tank...can I put there Neon tetras along with a full moon betta fish & 2 gappies in this setup?
Biswendu Guha No. Too small.
@@Iamaguienapig It's about 17 gallon tank. Would the neon tetras harm the betta?
@@TheBiswenduGuha That could happen. Tetras are known for fin nipping. This would stress your betta and could make him more prone to diseases. It also just doesn't look good. Furthermore, tetras are really active fish. They will stress your betta because of their active movement.
Though a 17 gallon tank could overwhelm your betta.
Edit: fixed a typo.
Let the guy do his thing... Orchids die outside the water too. If it last a few months that's a win either way.
orchids usually last for several years.. a few months is pretty awful lol
So your basically also saying killing a human is ok?? since plant are living things as swell that can feel pain and communicate.
@The Foxt orchid roots are aerial and are used to absorb oxygen and not just water. They are very prone to root rot even if they are watered too often, nevermind completely submerged. I can see that you can try this but the plant will not last more than a few months to a year. Orchids can live for over 20 years or more if properly cared for.
@@yruki Plants are alive but they can't feel "pain" - you need nerve endings and a central nervous system to physically feel. Plants do not have those and instead have the ability to react to stimuli, which are different than what animals rely on when they feel stimulus. I don't think anyone is suggesting killing humans is ok
Wow people. 0 to 100 real quick
How does the sparkling gorami get along with bettas? I have 4 and thought about adding a betta to the tank.
I haven’t seen any aggression between the betta and gouramis. The Gouramis chase each other but not the betta. Other people have had issues so if you try it keep an eye on them during the first few weeks.
😍may i know what kind of lighting system are you using？
Great inspiration! Pretty Betta! But I didn’t think you could submerge an Orchids roots like that!?
Ok so I just read comments...I’ll check back on your experiment but it’d try a different plant. Your tanks are amazing though!!! 😜
Thanks!
Have you added your betta immediately after setting up the tank? Is it ok to add betta directly without cycle ie. by adding anti-chlorine agent?
Do the gouramis and the betta get along well?
Wait, u do water changes every month and not weekly??
I would think that the orchid's roots would get waterlogged and soggy- they're terrestrial plants aren't they? High humidity but the roots are called "air roots" for a reason, since they do not like sitting in water and aid in the plant breathing just as much as the leaves do, haha
Would be interesting to see how the plant handles it anyway
Sam T I’ve been growing orchids with their roots in a jar of water for over a year now after dealing with root rot in its bark substrate, and the roots it’s put out in the water are robust, long, and very fast-growing; I was surprised but so far it’s been really impressive!
They're actually epiphyte plants, wich mean they don't grow in soil but atached to trees
@@imb5128 that's the word I was looking for, thank you. I couldn't remember what it was called when a plant grew up in canopies and not in the ground
@@phoebea8714 that's very cool, I wouldn't expect that to go well at all but as long as some roots have access to air I guess it figured it out. I've been keeping orchids for almost 8 years now, one of them 17 years old! They are usually so sensitive to sitting in water.
Maybe you should try to attach the orchid with wood trees too
Where did you get all your plants!?
Wow! What's the name of the fish that you made tank mates for your betta?
I've been thinking about adding an orchid to my tank! Is the orchid still surviving? Any good tip?
is your hanging filter always on?
Does ordhids work just like pothos
Did you glue the java fern to a rock or piece of driftwood?
Hi what is the size of the tank and how many liters can it hold? I want to buy one like this
Hi ! How bright for the light to keep frogbits alive? I just bought a led light which is 12w and 7500k ! Is it alright for frogbit? Plz help me, tk u
Nice video !!!
Is that a giant betta or plakat ?? Seems little bit bigger than regular plakat I think.
I think so but not positive. He is twice the size of my other bettas
Wow! How did the orchid hold up?
New leaves, new roots, slowly acclimating, hasn’t rebloomed yet though.
Does the phalaenopsis survive with the roots immersed in the water?
Friend, this orchid won't live long, orchids don't like excess humidity Good luck.
Thanks! I’ve had success with phalaenopsis hydroculture in the past but this is the first time I’ve tried it in an aquarium. Hopefully it will work out!
@@RegisAquaticsOK, but, If the leaves start to turn yellow it is time to remove the orchid from the tank.
Regis Aquatics how is it so far?
Updates on the orchid would be greatly appreciated!! Would love to try water culture on a new orchid.
the orchids roots will rot in the water like that
what kind of gouramis are those? i thought they can get a little aggressive. I might've gone with some endlers maybe. idk. I have a 10g planted with 2 female bettas and debating on tankmates. have a 15 with 6 male endlers and 3 platy fish. .. thinking about options.
La orquidea no se pudre en el agua???
Hello what is the name of the little white fish that he can live with te beta ?
What kind of sand you put in the tank?
What tank mates does the betta have?
What are those tiny fish you have in there with the betta?
КРАСОТА БЕСКОНЕЧНАЯ!!!! Если бы еще перевод на русский, пожалуйста, ЛАЙК ПОДПИСКА
what are those white/transparent little fishes ?
can someone tell me the size of the water tank, it seems to me the size described, with the video please
But does the orchid really survive directly in water like that?
Question. I noticed that when you added the Anubias to the branch in the water you used a gel superglue. So it does dry underneath water?
Yeah, water makes it harden faster.
And I always Wonder if this glue isnt bad for the living things
@@nelysato it isn't, it just hardens and that's about it. In the same vein that silicone does to keep the tank together ;]
I heard aquascape glue can do that, it won't lost its ability in water so u can try that..but 3seconds glue won't be able to do this
Rest In Peace, purple phal orchid
What fish are with your Betta? They're so sparkly!
Sparkly indeed, they are called "Sparkling gorami" (Trichopsis Pumila) and are the smallest species of gorami known to science (I think). They can produce a chirping sound that can be heard outside of the tank in a quiet room.
Do these types of Betta’s do ok with a stronger current?
No
How many gal is your tank?
New to the channel so sorry if this was asked before, but where or who do you get your betta's from?
eBay!
anyone know what kind of fish are in with the betta?
whats the tank size
When you are going to change water in planted aquarium
Can i make aquarium without fish
Yep!
I really dont think that orchid will survive very long. sure they like to get wet roots, but they also like to dry out almost completely. they like a wet dry cycle.
I’m hoping for the best! It’s just an experiment though, no big deal if it doesn’t make it. People can learn from my mistakes
Bro make a betta breeding series from fry to adult.
I like that! Might take a few months, but I think I can make it happen!
@@RegisAquatics nice excited for the video bro
tank dimension please?
can the crypts live in an inert substrate?
Yes I have Crypts in a lot of different tanks and sand in most and they all do fine. I don't really even use root tabs to Much Anymore maybe once a year I'll try it.
@@carlapappalardo1901 wow, thanks for the reply. I'll try that
So it’s ok to put super glue once it’s dried into the tank?
Yes
So I'm new to all this and just wondering if all the plants, especially the moss are live plants?
一个月换一次水啊？逆天
What about the pH? There is a lot of plants in this tank, have you had a ph variation?
The betta looks just like my King Betta that died 😟
The Phalaenopsis Orchid will die in that moisture. You might want to move it out of there...
Time will tell I guess. I’ve had success with phalaenopsis hydroculture in the past so hopefully this works out!
Regis Aquatics Hoping for a good outcome! Hopefully it wont wither away like my first orchid... Amazing Video by the way!
Nice humble video. But How come your moss turned out so ugly?
The floating plants blocked all of the light the first couple weeks. It will bounce back for the next update
Regis Aquatics looking forward to it. How is your orchid doing?
Waht sand u used
Generic construction sand. 50 lb bag for $3
@@RegisAquatics I need this
@@RegisAquatics I need this sir..how could I get it
water change once a month only? I thought once a week water change is standard
The plants help remove the toxic elements in the water but if the tanks new you should let the bacteria establish first
Or thats what I learned on my research
Especially the orchid will suck all the nitrates from there
If you want put pothos over your tanks.
Its something like a filter!!!
This tank only has a few fish, so there isn’t a lot of excess waste polluting the water and like the others said, the plants are able to easily remove the nitrates that the fish produce. Just keep an eye on your nitrate levels and adjust accordingly.
How do you manage to keep a betta with those gouramis?
Timid gouramis, plenty of space and cover. They are still pretty small, maybe they will become more aggressive with time but I’ll remove any that cause issues.
is somebody breathing in my ear?
Java fern doesn’t like high flow so put the filter beside
Do u dose ferts?
Nope!
Did I just see a GOURAMI with a BETTA? 🤨
Yup! There’s 4 sparkling gouramis with the betta. All are extremely timid and have been fine together the entire time. They occupy different levels of the tank with no issues at all. If they start showing aggression towards the betta I will move them into another tank.
Regis Aquatics I’ve had them together in the past too, had to remove them once breeding time came lol. The tiny gouramies bullied my huge female betta, ripped up her fins and i couldn’t let it go on. But good luck with yours nonetheless!
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but that betta is going to jump out of that tank.
