I built a river ecosystem for one of the shortest-lived fish species, the annual killifish. I transformed a simple box into a dynamic, dual-section tank that simulates the natural habitat and life cycle of these fascinating fish.
Now I'm sharing with you every step showcasing the process of creation. Watch as the ecosystem comes to life, teeming with plants and fish, as it perfectly replicates their natural environment recreated in a home aquarium.

Disclaimer: There's not actually a "predator" its a shrimp. Also the fish have wood in the tank so the female can rest from the males trying to breed. A problem with buying these fish is they are mostly sold in pairs. ideally it would have been 4+ females. The aim for the video is to show a fish that is not well known and only lives for a short period and that's one of the reasons they are not popular.
Thanks for Watching!
what's the name of the fish again? 😅
@@jeprox_ph2023Killifish
@@plantbox60what species? Clown?
@@plantbox60What species of Killi? I currently keep least killis but these would be interesting

A few tips about using spray foam and my experience with it. I’ve found that silicon is a more expensive but overall more effective method of attaching crushed rock and other small bits to the foam. Originally cutting out the foam in the box was extremely smart and made it easy to carve to your liking. However if u were to use spray foam between the gap of the glass and the carved faom box, it would’ve tightly and securely stuck to the glass. Love your videos! There really inspiring and teach me a lot👍
@Tetra.ExoticsThank you! Yes for sure, if I was to recreate this or anyone else wants to. This is the best advice, use silicon instead of spray and I did think about foam down the sides but I had the vision of Sand filled sides and wasn't giving up 😂 but this is not the best method. I couldn't find much information before building this so I hope it helps
Thanks for watching!
Do you mean like a silicon based spray adhesive to attack sand to?
@@AwesomesMan nope. U can get expanding pond foam at ur local lowes. This is what I use to fill in the gaps between the tank. I use black aquarium silicon to attach sand/coco fiber. Make sure u cover the foam completely in silicon befor adding the sand/coco fiber. The firmly press the sand into the silicon so it does not wear or wash off easily.
Watching chill ecosystem videos in a rainy day>>>
Suprised this one didnt blow up yet one of the best ecosystem videos ive seen in a while
It was the two little “bruhs” for me to instantly follow. Humor and fun aquascapes 🙂↕️
These are such a cool fish species! I've never heard of another type of fish who's eggs can survive on land and then hatch in water again!
Brilliant. Was waiting for your next one. Very interesting well done 👍
Bro.
Absolutely, amazing video. Great work.
Must of took ages truly dedicated to all your projects 😊
This was awesome! Fresh take on pretty much everything. Well done.
and just like with Dr. Plants, thank you youtube for recommending this video to me. Just subscribed.
Underrated, keep it up!
@tejano1 Appreciate it!
Hey hey! Just discovered your channel and loved this video. Using the cardboard was very smart, I took a different approach with my latest build and it was a nightmare!
Hello @AquariumShed glad you liked it! I've just watched your cave video and it's a great idea. We find a way in the end 😂
Cheers from my fish room channel in Chicago, where I am a subscriber to yours and where i am also in awe of what you built!
You’re going to blow up, this was fantastic 🙌🏻
@travistaylorphoto Thank you i appreciate it!
Bro your soooo underrated like seriously
@potattomodesopan Thanks I appreciate it! I remember you from the 1st video too
@@plantbox60 thank you bro and i hope your Chanel become big
Love the video man. May this channel grow big. Awesome build
Appreciate it!
Oscar winning 🏆 production!
Oh wow! You've gained 8,000 subscribers since your last video!
Really nice video!
Another amazing video! So underrated ❤
Thank you
Dude this is a very cool tank!! I love the idea behind this❤ I might have to make a tank like this! Love it!
Thank you! I had the idea for killifish 1st and then when I got the idea for the tank it worked out well.
When is your next video @MrHillbilly
When the foam floated... been there buddy hahahaha. Great project though!
@TankitEasySG Haha the plan was for it to be a snug fit when I filled the sides with sand but it was all fun 🤣 Thank you
what a brilliant video! your stuff is so bloody entertaining due to a perfect mixture of "going into just enough depth about the tank keeping" and "keeping it a skilfully edited and, wonderfully captured lifespan esc film'. I love this shit so much, Well done and thank you G!
Thank you I appreciate it! Working on part 2 of this
this video was great. In my opinion, it could have been a bit longer, and you could have gone into more detail, since I fear some people who don't know much about killifish might be confused, Still, I was very happy to see a new upload from you. keep up the great work
Thank you I agree with you, I tried with this one, the story actually was even harder than shown in the video lol the original story was actually back to front with N fuzeri killifish. It just didn't go to plan
Thank you
I love your vids!
🙌
nice video and i LOVE this biotope tank!
Thank you
Thank you
Well done, remember me when you reach 1000000!
@KevinandGypsy I will do!
Great video!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Your videos are super cool! For your next, you could possibly try building an ecosystem centered around a bonsai tree.
@Ashyp4aws There's one growing 👀 not a bonsai but something different
@@plantbox60 Awesome! I can’t wait to see it grow into something awesome
Awesome!!
Quality 👌
this videos script is....something for sure
@unorthodox8552 Thank you
Bro your underrated❤❤❤
@squiddy5778 Appreciate it bro!
Can you try Triops in a shallow Prehistoric paludarium with ferns and moss. Maybe small horsetails.
Aquatic moss and hornwort would also fit the theme.
@commanderhurst3283 I can add that to the list!
Interesting
That is why you apply the spray foam directly on the glass or an anchored frame.
This is cool
You really remind me of the red guy from please don't hug me im scared if you don't know that series you can go take a look it's really great and this is an amazing video
@yellow_bud I didn't know what it was but I've just watched it. I think I've seen characters from it before. looks good! massive views as well. Thanks for watching and glad you liked it
Cool man
Wow I love this build! Now can I recreate it as a first tank.. 👀 I want to use beginner friendly endlers and shrimp though.
Go for it!
This gives major TanksForNothin vibes.
Not to hate though, inspiration is how you build your base for your own video style
@JoeyTheUnique The editing style is inspiring for sure 👌 this is only my 2nd video (ecosystems) so there's plenty more to learn
A cave interesting
Awesome vid, dude! What exact species of killifiah are those, including the smaller fishes that were with them? I may wanna try this out myself sometime.
Thank you they are nothobranchius Guentheri and the smaller fish are lamp eye killifish
What spray adhesive did you use? Ive only ever used that for flooring but that was toxic for sure.
That seems like a great alternative to the messy silicone ones you see.
Awesome video btw 👌
Im skeptical of how aquarium safe it truly would be. I feel like an aerosol like that could get into the water easily. But i guess there were no shown effects in the video
Dymax scaping spray adhesive can be used. I thought the same so it took some searching! same for foam and silicon used Thank you i appreciate it
@@plantbox60 thanks for the info!
yup
can someone tell me/guide me on how to make these ecosystems or what their called
Really loved the video, just thought the voice was a bit too loud. But really enjoyed
@calminhIt Thank you I appreciate the feedback, in my 1st video the music was too loud so I tried to lower it this time
The actual environment is stinky, muddy puddle with zero visibility and cows walking through it, Besides there are also lung fish in this mess if the pond is big enough. Males are very aggressive. Only thing keep them from killing each other is zero visibility.
Once captured and put in clean water the mayhem starts. Shortly hey lose their fins due to fights. This is real life experience. This particular pond I ham describing is right next railroad station in Massai country. on firt dip with my small seine I've got several hundred fish. Unbelievable sight.
Superglue mate. Superglue. If you wanna make sure something stays where it belongs in an aquarium you use superglue.
Super glue would work! I think silicone is the best and cheapest option. If you do it the 1st time round 😂
Under 10 minutes too
This channel is gonna explode like Dr. Plants, and my sorry ass is gonna sit here and be mad, that i didnt start a channel.
Go for it!
You could have put the rocks in the foam when you were making it.
I always worry about my hardscape leaching into the water. Any tips??
@ghko9968 Its the 1st time I've done anything like this so I searched for Fish safe products like dymax spray adhesive. Pond spray foam and aquarium silicone
What are the plant you have used
Blyxca japonia, few species of cryptocoryne. Eleocstrisharis palustraris tall grass would work great without a lid. water lettuce floating plants
What fish are those?
Killifish
What is the name of this killi species?
nothobranchius rubripinnis and nothobranchius guentheri. The original plan was Nothobranchius Furzeri but the eggs were not ready to hatch
What u clean tank with?
Water changes and add healthy bacteria
7:31 is that a bamboo shrimp?
If so I dont think it will live long
They need good flow
They do sift through the sand for food
But it will destroy their fans if done often and they wont be able to eat until their next molt
I know the tank has a filter :)
Nice 'guppy' grotto man! What kind of rock and sand did you use and mix @1:37?
@pvhep4036 lava rock and silica sand
@@plantbox60 Thanks mate!

Hello sorry for being dump but is gallon basically liter
Also cool video I enjoyed it
3.785 litres per us gallon
Thank you
@@plantbox60 thank you for awesome content I am beginner
@@user-xq1yx8ui1b Anytime!
If it's a river tank use fish you catch from a river
They live in rivers
@@plantbox60 what I meant was carp,snails, crawfish,or , maybe frogs
@Steve_the_scientist sure I could do this in the future and get some plants from the river too
@@plantbox60 definitely mudskippers idk if you have one already
@Steve_the_scientist I don't have one right now but I do have a spare tank that I'm looking for an idea for
first ❤
What kind of fish is it?😂
@sueprmanian Killifish
Har
am I the only one confused?
@blockicream2.065 One of the shortest living fish species dies each year in the wild when the water dries out. How do they return, if they are all gone?
