Easy Blackwater Aquascape for Tetras
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ค. 2024
- Some tanks are inspired simply by a piece of hardscape, such as driftwood. That's exactly what happened with this tank. I found two pieces of wood I knew would be perfect for a blackwater aquascape and everything else followed. Enjoy!

You got to do a salamander terrarium
Maybe in his river terrarium
Swamp type biotope
Vouch
Axolotls?
A freshwater crayfish would look pretty cool in there, I can imagine one using the seed pods as a hide
I think he said they are illegal to keep where he lives
In a small tank like that, it would be able to grab the fish when the crayfish is an adult. Plus, it would destroy the plants too.
I would personally go with some small dwarf cichlid. To keep with his South American stocking I would say perhaps some variant of maybe the German blue ram. Gold, red fronted gold, or even electric blue would go well, perhaps even some smaller less agressive appistos like trifaciata
@@cthulhu3392 dwarf guoramis might be nice.
@@cthulhu3392 I think Apistos would look nice, maybe a pair of Double Red Agassiziis or a pair of Super Red Cacatuoides would do well.
I’m imagining Tanner’s shocked gasp and clutching his pearls at finding driftwood in the BIN!😱😱😱
Lemon Tetras would look extremely good in this tank. They are some very underrated fish.
I was gonna comment some neon tetras but once I saw this comment I said nevermind that sounds better 😁
Red eyes look good too ☺️
@@robertfly5991 I love the red eyes of Lemon tetras.
Super pretty fish. Had 5 of them in a 15g tall and that ratio did not work out. They beat each other up all day. I wanna try again but I’m thinking overstocking is the way to go with lemons.
I love Lemon Tetras
Green Neon Tetras would 'flash' perfectly in that scape. Love your work Tanner x
It's amazing how you can make even such a simple tank with few components look so beautiful. I am amazed every single time you make something. Thank you for sharing all of these beautiful artworks with us!
I'd love to see how you clean and maintain your setups without disrupting the aesthetic. I always struggle with that with my tank.
I was thinking the same thing
With these tanks you can mostly just do some small water changes every week or so. You don't need to remove old leaves or gravel vac. I'm theory it should mostly take care of itself.
This one is really going to look stunning as it grows in. Some floating frog bit or something with the roots coming down might be a fun addition though
I would love to see some plain old cardinal tetras in here. Their flash would be cool to see in the black water and they would get along with everybody.
What else do you think should live in this tank? Let me know! 👇
me :)
Dungeoness crab
Some more 🐌 snails
To be honest I would replace the tetras with some trichopsis pumila or some betta like betta dennisyongi, get some RO water in there to make it soft and get a hang on back filter, would look more natural in my opinion
I'd love to see a little honey gourami in there! They add a nice pop of color, and they're super cute :)
Another great build. I love those stumps!
I’d say Kuhli loaches, they’re fun to watch, can be kept in a small group and will interact nicely with the botanicals and that open area beneath the shelf of the stumps.
The Nerite saying "Yo!" came out of the left field for me :D
I feel like a small school of habrosus cories or a pair of apistos would work well with the tetras and that scape. Great work as always, Tanner!
Nanacara anomala+ ember tetras imo
Wild bettas would do so well, you have a huge variety of options. You could do an alien betta, anything from the splendens, albimarginata, or coccinea complex.
ik planning to do a blackwater betta tank for my next build
Those driftwoods are the best, kinda looks like a combination of small at large pieces even though they are all intact. Perfect fit!
I love how well you hide the pump/filter. Loved the look
That's lovely. All your tanks are amazing.
I had a pair of angelfish in a similar set up. Lots of floating plants too but lots of tannins and lots of plant food by Tetra which I am convinced the vitamins in it made my angels thrive. I had never before been able to keep angels alive long. I had to sell my tanks when I moved. I so regret it. I am in a small place now and aquariumless for 20 years! 😭 One day I am going to have the money and find a spot for a new tank somehow. Im almost ready to ditch my king size bed and go for a queen to add room. I love my tanks in the bedroom and living room. So nice to relax to until time for aquarium lights out . I have fallen sooooo far behind on the new items and discoveries for fish! I have a lot to learn. I had a tank or several from the 70s until 2001. I miss fish so much. I could use one now for my high blood pressure. I have found there doesn't seem to be any half hexes out there. That was my angel fish tank. Rats. Im not sure what brands or types to trust now. And I truly hate the new lighting. I miss the warm toned long bulbs. Guess I need to read a stack of books like I did when I was 9.
i think it would be cool to see a video of all of the basic supplies you need to get started in the hobby, ive been binging your videos and am feeling inspired
Cardinal Tetras would really pop in there, plus it looks really similar to the ecosystems they're commonly found in. Excellent job with this black-water set-up!
Simply amazing. I always wanted a tank like this. Ty for the ideas and inspiration
Beautiful. I love the simplicity in this build
Amazingly simple. Hit it out the park with this one!
I absolutely love these videos. You do great work. The finished tank footage with fish and music=perfect. I want that footage as my screen saver. Thanks again!!!
Awesome Job Tanner!
The tank looks great. I think platinum white angel fish will look great in this set up.
Yeah that tank is way too small for angel fish, maybe some babies could live there for a few weeks to maybe a few months but then they should move
As stunning as always! Such wonderful work.
Tanner both you and your videos are amazing, never stop doing what you love man
Neons n cardinals look great in these type of setups
Neon and cardinal tetra is perfect for this black water but over all 10/10 pretty awesome set up
Totally agree!! Neon and cardinal tetras would look stunning! Do you keep these fish? :D
Betta with tetras looks amazing
Another fantastic project. Looks awesome. Thanks for sharing. 👏👏👏
Wow! Looking fantastic! Thank you!
Probably my favourite video you've made
It always makes my day when you post
That’s a pretty nice tank serpa keep up the great work.
Love this tank. I think it's my favorite of yours so far
Just done a tank a little similar with epiphytes. This looks awesome as usual!👌🏻🙌🏻
Simply beautiful and relaxing to watch
Amazing, Tanner. Really. Simply beautiful. By far my favourite so far. I would love another 'music video' of this tank. Could stare at this for hours. Thanks for your passion not just for creating works of natural art, but also to share your art with others. I hope you will be doing this for a long time.
huge fan of this one!!
wow, a stunning setup!
Love this scape and your channel is easily one of the best out there on the subject of fish tanks.
Bumblebee catfish (microglanis) or even a species of ituglanis catfish would look amazing in there. That is my future blackwater look setup.
I’d love to see shrimp in this tank! 🥰 Thank you for creating something beautiful and inspiring as always!
YAY GOT SO EXCITED WHEN SEEING THIS
One of the best blackwaters I've seen class job mate
Looks really good.
Love your tanks so much! It was a blast getting to meet you at Aquashella in Chicago, I was helping my sister & her husband with the MB Betta booth :)
I think some khuli loaches would be a neat addition, you'd rarely see em but in a group they're more active! They love leaf litter and good places to hide like this, this tank would be perfect for a small group of them!
Awesome, another relaxing video
There's something so simple and beautiful about a blackwater scape
awesome. love it!!!
Love it!
Awesome video!!
I was looking for a tutorial for a planted blackwater aquarium. This is without question the best on youtube. At least for me. Subscribed to you channel!
Great video, the stumps are exceptional.
Almost 1 mil dude
Congrats!
An other masterpiece, thank you🙏👍
Awesome project as always 👍
It look amazing and so natural
Fantastic job. Inspiring me with my 4ft tank. It's getting there...👍
african dwarf frogs ! Nice tank....very natural looking !
I have a school of a dozen ember tetras and they are some of my favorite fish I've ever had.
Simple but effective. 👌🏼
These videos have no right to be this satisfying
Nice aquascape keep up the good work
This guy is a genius.
Impressive!
I think neon tetras would add a really nice splash of color and a contrasting blue to the brownish red of the water
This is my favourite tank so far :0
It is a thing of beauty I love it 👍
N'actual! That's an amazing setup!
Neon tetras would look super good for the tank too!
Exceptional!
Get some checkerboard cichlids, they’re small, interesting and the electric blue on the males lire tails looks so good
The x-ray tetras are one of my all-time favorite
corycats! they'd be so cute snuffling through the sand and botanicals
I love your content!
Love it 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
You are very handy and creative
serpa family comes first
thank you vin
Personally, I think this one is one of your best
wow you're really good with tools
Concrete approach to the material ✔ 👍😎👌
This is nice
Some kind of smaller pleco would be an ideal addition. I have a similar setup running albeit in a much bigger tank. Keep up the good work, love watching your videos!
A Neon Dwarf Gourami would look awesome in there! I feel like their blues and reds would really pop in the stained water!
As usual your tank looks awesome! There’s something interesting and soothing to look at a black water tank. It looks so calm. I never got the hang of caring for the various Anubias plants - the light is to strong in my tank. Otherwise I would love to have that plant. I have Ember tetras, Endlers guppy, Helena or Assassin snails , Amano shrimp and a pair of Plecos in my heavily planted tank full of leaves and branches as well
Amazing video
I personally love the look of black water tanks.
Can’t wait to convert one of my established tanks over in the future.
I have a very similar tank already set up and with my small handful of tuxedo guppies, I have a pair of loaches and a large old nerite.
African dwarf frogs would be a nice touch to the tank
Ce bac est magnifique !
Sehr schönes Aquarium 👍
Hello great video information
some floating plants would look great!
great job regardless
Stellar tank, as always! I think adding a few ghost shrimp would be a cool accent to the x-rays. They would be small enough to keep the bioload down and be a nice hidden surprise when you see them. Though, in a blackwater, I'm not sure how well they'd withstand the pH and hardness.
Assassin snails would look good in here as well. Nice tank
A good match for your x rays would be a couple glass cats
Lovely
