Dwarf Pea Pufferfish Jungle Aquascape

- A lot of you have been requesting a Pea Pufferfish aquascape for years now... My wife has been as well. I finally decided to make that happen! I really like how it turned out and I can't wait to see how it progresses.
That's another off the list! I wasn't sure if I'd ever keep them, but I'm glad I decided to. They're still fairly shy at the moment, but I see their personalities grow every day. Apparently, they're known for getting bored, so I did my best to make an enriching environment.
As always, let me know what you think about the final design. Also, be sure to check out my aquascape playlist to see more aquarium builds.

I'm so excited to finally release this build! We've been planning it pretty much since the bullfrogs moved into the 75 gallon rack. I knew it would happen, but even then I was dragging my feet! I'm glad I finally did though because I'm really enjoying the puffers and this tank. Now I need suggestions for the final 40 gallon tank?
Congratulations to the winners of the 750,000 giveaway. I shout them out in this video, so make sure to watch the whole video. If it was you, please send me an email.
Also, be sure to check out my new channel if you want more content. Just to be clear, nothing is changing on this channel. I'm starting this one to upload more. th-cam.com/video/b6_eGWmAIbY/w-d-xo.html
I love the editing in this one
Subscribed your new channel. Wohoooooooo
I'd like to see a tank where you make the Serpa Design logo into a feature that can be used in the tank.
Or an Eastern Salamander setup would be awesome
Could you make a Bioactive hermit crab 🐚 tank?
I would like to see a community tank in the 40 gallon or you could possibly get some day geckos, house geckos, green anoles, etc. I know you don't really specialize in reptiles but i would like to see them pop up on your channel more.
As a biologist, I’m so happy to see someone give these amazing fish the space and enviroment They deserve❤️ Such a great rolemodel for fishkeepers❤️🌟
They seem like very curious creatures. Always looking around their tank for the next meal. Really cool to watch.
ennit
What type of biologist are you?

I love how you size tanks in such a humane way. Often people put animals in the minimum size habitats, but you always seem to make sure the space is large and enriching for the animals 🖤
I yelled "YES!" at the screen when your wife said saltwater. Now you got to!
Same!
@@tracenhouchin111 Ive been wanting him to do saltwater forevever. So stoked she wants it too lol
I own a big ol reef tank, and boy its by far the most work of all of my animals including my reptiles. Most expensive too. However, its amazing to have a mini ocean in your house. Its def harder keeping water parameters right with reefs, its a ton of trial and error. But the animals are other-worldly. Polyps are also so fantastic to have. I know serpa could easily handle a reef if he was dedicated to it. If he can handle freshwater parameters this successfully hed be great at saltwater too.
Lol! Love it! 🤗❤️
The closest I got into salt is me crying over my tank while I'm cleaning it
Lol

@@noah_nguyen_ no, theyre brackish fish
@@drewsy5838 They are freshwater "While most Puffer Fish are brackish or saltwater fish Pea Puffers are true freshwater fish. They don't require salt and can't tolerate even brackish conditions." You can also tell because he is using aquarium plants which can't survive in saltwater or brackish.
@@williamliu299 You are absolutely correct! I didn't even know a freshwater variety existed until I looked.
I can tell you are getting more creative with editing. The talking head on the play sand was awesome and reminded me to like the video. Keep it up!
I love the fact that he took the time to scape out of the tank just so the viewer could get a good view of what he’s doing 👍
part of it is because of how ridiculously expensive large setups are
Serpa: Who we getting next?
SerpaWife: Saltwater
Serpa: Nooooooo!
The Audience: YESSSSSS!
Your wife is so pretty! I’m so glad she convinced you to do this one!!
“...and rather than ramble them all off...”
Dang, but I kinda wanted to hear you say “Süsswassertang” tho 🤣
Hahahaha!
That one got me good. Didn't expect to read the german name 😂
The tank is beautiful and the pea puppets are so cute.
He sounded so devastated when she said salt water because now he has to do it.
It would be nice though lol
I love that his wife is a nerm, too!
@@THandP_org one of us, one of us!!!
"Saltwater" "Nooooo" 🤣 me and my husband exactly!
Sygnathid tanks are lit. Especially with red and purple plants and misc macroalgae and gorgonians.
It's not that hard to put a salt on the water, what's wrong? I think i am missing somethibg here
@@hellstarremina7605 if it was that easy everybody would be doing it
@@bluebeans356 why is it hard? I just don't understand
It's easy as Sunday morrrnnnniiiinnnngggggggggg
Uhh biodiversity is key before all else, then lighting and maybe a jet that simulates breathing
Oh my gosh! I love pea puffers! I was so excited when I read the title
I like when you say all the plant names out loud. It's amazing to hear.
Honestly, Tanner in the sand box was hilarious! The tank is gorgeous, one of my favourites for sure
Showing us exactly how you stop your plants floating away?
You
are a goddamn hero.
YEAH! SALTWATER! would love to see you make a home for an eel
Ohmyjeesus play sand Tanner caught me so off guard 🤣🤣 Here take my like, I’ll catch my breath eventually 🤣
Woah! I just got my tiny pea puff yesterday! And he’s doing great 👍 this is so cool
Lol i love the like reminder on the play sand
Beautiful! The pea puffers are going to LOVE it in there as well! They are so smart, curious and adorable!
Absolutely going to subscribe to your second channel!!
Can't wait to see what you do with the 40 gallon!
You should make a bladder snail breeding tank to feed the puffers
this type of puffer doesn't actually eat only bladder snails (iirc), i think blood-worms are actually a larger part of the diet, but i could be wrong ;)
@@azura4582 that makes sense. I was thinking more as a treat, enrichment type of food. Thanks for the info!
@@azura4582 They LOVE them though! They don't crunch the shell like bigger puffers do. They just eat the "meat" lol
I used to feed mine black worms. Just need to be careful of parasites, as with all live food. Also, pea puffers are real nasty to each other. I could see them already sizing each other up in this set up. Good thing it’s a big tank, so they can stake their claims.
@@azura4582 it's good to feed a varied diet, but yeah blloodworms can be the staple of their diet if you want, however snails can also be the main staple, the main thing is just to feed both/a variety of different things as really what's known about the nutritional needs of fish isn't much, when compared to other animals like dogs and cats, so variety is always best to ensure they get what they require
Amazing, love the pea puffer fish 🐡 💜
Oh my god, aren't they cute!!! Makes me wish I still had aquariums.
"Who we getting next?"
"Saltwater"
....
"Who we getting next?"
Yeah tanner please do saltwater tank
Make a Pogonomyrmex Occidentalis (Western Harvester Ant” vivarium! You can get a colony with a queen from Tar Heel Ants.
I prefer the European camponautus ants like camponautus hurculinus
I haven’t seen pogernomamix
@@joeydr1497 yeah but Pogonomyrmex Occidentalis is the only one we can ship “legally” within then lower 48 states except Florida.
Her reaction looks like she's surprised.... congratulations
Does anyone else like waking up early to see his videos on Saturday?
How u positioned the driftwood reminded me of a skeletal spine. I would love to see a scape like that, w some rly cool woodpieces c:
I've had a Pea Puffer for about 2 months now, SO glad to see you get them, they're such a curious fish and enjoyable animal
Are they salt or fresh or both
@@kimstair1306 Fresh, they don't tolerate brackish or saltwater.
Do your pea puffers wallow and hide in the sand?
Some fishes I really love are Three-Spined Stickelback ! If you can, try to make an aquarium filled with them ...
Kinda hard to find native fish in supply at stores though
Native fish are really neat. I agree with the guy above me, they are hard to find. Catching then could be a possibility depending on where he lives.
Another native i like is the Gudgeon, quite a few colorful ones out there.
I didn't know pea puffers can be kept communally in a tank. I thought they're territorial. Great scape as always Tanner!
You’re making me want to rescape my pea tank! Looks fanstastic
Face in the play sand bag: Great but creepy af 😳
I don't even know what people don't like about these videos😫
For a second I didn't see the anubius nana petite listed on screen and was shocked 😂
Words of support.
Im exited to wait for them to grow !
never expected these!
perfect reaction to her saltwater comment!
Great design, but those puffers are gonna destroy those shrimp lol.
I love puffers, really nice to see someone doing a nice big group of this species as I often see people with only a couple :(
For those who don’t know, peas are actually a shoaling species and should always be kept in groups of 6+ :)
I am planning on getting one. I search in google that they are an aggressive one and don't do well with the same species and on a community tank. HAHAHAHA I am surprised that they can be kept in a group of 6, I start to doubt some information that I found in google. Thank goodness I didn't get one or else its life will be miserable
@@OterryAswel6969the internet is full of misinformation and a lot is just regurgitated by people who echo opinions and it becomes an internet “fact”. The best thing to do is research and try things your self and prove them wrong.
Love this!! I’ve recently set up a pea puffer tank too after waiting for years and years and absolutely love my 14 little blimps ❤️❤️
At 5:36 I was so confused to see a german word like Süßwassertang
same, immediatly came to the comment section to find a fellow german lmao
Lmao same
Now we also know why he only put them on screen and didn't dare to pronounce it :D
Those puffers are so cute, and the scape looks great. I agree with your wife about the saltwater tank next. 😄
Saltwater?
YES!!!!!
Dwarf pufferfish are awesome fish. In fact, they are my favorite and only freshwater fish I keep. Can’t wait to watch the full video! ✌🏼
Get a riving knife or guard with built in seperator on your table saw you madman! Lol
Lol ..salt water would be amazing 👏
I love that you did a pre-setup so that you could change things.
You do amazing landscapes.
Your wife was excited when she sees this tank. You know what they say " A Happy Wife ; A Happy Life"
Masterfull aquascape, and combined with the almost magic looking pea puffers, just, fantastic
Derpa derpa 👍
I can’t remember how I stumbled upon this channel but I love it so much! It gives me a lot of inspiration for my own tank
LOVED THIS BUILD BUT I LOVE ALL OF THE BUILDS
For a second, I thought "Aquascape" said "escape," and I was really fucking confused how pufferfish could escape a tank. Glad they didn't 👍
It's great to see a big group of dwarf puffers in a decent sized tank. So many people fall into the trap of keeping them solo "because they're aggressive" or squeezing them into tiny tanks because they're small.
Leeeetssss go Salt water setup
When Mr. Serpadesign said “No” it reminded me of the Vader “Noooo”
love this..
7:05 when you do the 100% water change, do you struggle with some of the plants lifting up and floating?
i think because they're root deep in the sand and gravel mix they're pretty anchored in there
Serpa: "and now we can finally start scaping"
11 year old me and my lvl 3 fresh off tutorial island: "you're god damn right we can"
Saltwater in the 150 cube!!!!
Big fan
First, congratulations to the winners. I bet they're so excited!
I always love watching these videos, the creativity and care you have for your animals is inspiring. And there's there's the extras like putting your head on the sand bag 😄
today we learned tanner can be bullied into making a tank of choice, but we might have to marry him first. also, play sand logo tanner made me choke on my drink
You sure do a lot of stuff for your wife, it's almost like you love her or something.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have 18 pea puffers for about 2 years now. Super entertaining fish. And surprisingly vicious. The ONLY fish that they get along with in peace are 4 bumblebee gobies. Everything else WILL get attacked.
Love the build, just an fyi, when you use a nail gun dont hold the pieces like that, the nail can follow the grain of the wood and go straight into your finger. Much love.
Beautiful tank!!! I’ve been looking into a peapuffer but I think you have me wanting to upgrade my tank first 😂Thanks for showing!!!!
What a beautiful home you created for such ADORABLE little creatures. ♥
Very impressive. As always. 😉
Do you have any recommendations on where to get pea puffers? They are threatened in the wild from over fishing for the pet trade, but they are successfully bred in captivity.
fun fact of the day There actually aren’t “57 varieties” of Heinz ketchup, and never were. Company founder H.J. Heinz thought his product should have a number, and he liked 57. Hint: Hit the glass bottle on the “57,” not the bottom, to get the ketchup to flow.
This wife of yours seems to be a real pain in your arse at times. But she’s pretty lucky to have such a creative husband! Love your work
Salt water would actually be kind of cool
Gorgeous! The little Pea Puffers are the cutest! Keep on being creative! You're amazing!
I love how much extra care and work you put into your animals. it shows how much you care and the results of the tanks are always beautiful!! And your knowledge of all the different plants and the process is also very interesting! Keep up the great work :)
had to like the vide for the creativity. putting your face on the sand bag dude took me out !!! dope scape !
i absolutely *love* the way your editing style has been evolving recently, it really adds a nother layer of fun to these videos 👍
Where's the puffer fish????? My heart is broken
amazing edits, appealing footage, quality content. this impressive channel never ceases to amaze me
I had 2 pea puffers around a year ago and honestly they were the cutest. They would go ham on those blood worms and snails 🤣
They lived only a year?
Love the tank and love you including your wife in this!!!
Thanks man, you actually listened to me! Just made an amazon puffer Aquascape myself, want you to do one of those next ;)
I would love to see a massive gold desert goby waterfall paludarium one day, maybe in the 150🤞. They are one of the coolest, most adaptable fish and readily spawn in full freshwater, a goby rarity as you may know.
Even though it freaked me a bit.. The like and sub part was awesome and hilarious haha
OMG your wife said SALTWATER!!! Now you have no choice XDDDD
HaHa! That end of the video "Noooooo!" was understood by every guy who habitually gets surprise additions to their "Honey-Do List" from their wives or girlfriends. Great design on the tank!
This has the same energy as when my husband built me a computer because I kept saying I like the character designs in LoL
Man, now I want pea puffers!
You inspired so many people here in the philippines we loveyou!
Literally spat my drink out when your face popped up on the sand! 😂😂😂🍺
It seems that in larger groups they shoal and aren't nearly as nippy.
When your face was on the play sand bag 🤣🤣🤣 also another amazing video! I love your content so much keep it up!
I think it’s very nice that you made the tank because your wife likes them! That’s so sweet :) tell her that we say hi!
Your wife is one likey woman °~•.☆.•~°
I never knew about pea puffers and now looking at them, they are so cuuuuute!!!! I'm glad you made a tank for the little guys.
I can’t wait to see the tank in a few months
