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 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
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! 🤗❤️
“...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 😂
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!
"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
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?
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.
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"
The closest I got into salt is me crying over my tank while I'm cleaning it
Lol
Mood
@@noah03300 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.
One of my favorite tanks so far!!
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.
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!!!
I used to have some of these guys. They were the most curious and interactive fish I have ever had!
Just realized - I often love your compositions, and maybe part of the reason is that I loved one corner composition from art history. Not that you always or even often use one corner composition, but you sometimes have an element that reminds me of one corner and I love it
Your scapes are unmatched sir and your complete setup always have that 100% natural look. Love it.
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! ✌🏼
I am glad that you did this for your wife. Happy to see that it brought a smile.
Serpa: Who we getting next?
SerpaWife: Saltwater
Serpa: Nooooooo!
The Audience: YESSSSSS!
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 ❤️❤️
I was one of them who asked you to do a pea puffer tank on my other account I’m surprised I missed this video lol. I just wanted to say thank you for being an inspiration. Because of you I’ve built up the nerve to build my own channel shortly after making my very first ecosphere. I also want to do platy breeding vids as I’ve been very successful breeding with them. I also got these little dudes a little awhile ago and some awesome cherry barbs. I plan to attempt breeding them as well and make some vids on my experience. So far I’ve just showcase my first ever ecosphere and learned a lot from the experience. Again thank you so much for starting to inspire me well over a year ago to want to make ecospheres and maybe someday terrariums, which turned into me making my very own channel. Thank You!
Masterfull aquascape, and combined with the almost magic looking pea puffers, just, fantastic
Those puffers are so cute, and the scape looks great. I agree with your wife about the saltwater tank next. 😄
This is absolutely an awesome tank!! Hardly anyone puts more than one puffer together.
I started with 3 DP's, they had babies, now I have 5. I'm hoping to get them a much bigger tank and get more when space and funds allow. I love them.
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
That play sand part cracked me up soooo much. It was so unexpected-- please continue with that!!
I love that there is no commercials just aquascaping thank you tanner
Tanner, I love your videos. They remind me of the things I would try to capture in nature during my darkroom photography classes, constrast, positive and negative space, composition. They are beautiful! i especially love how you create natural avenues for the fish and other animals in your videos. Much love!
Ohmyjeesus play sand Tanner caught me so off guard 🤣🤣 Here take my like, I’ll catch my breath eventually 🤣
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.
Thank you for demonstrating exactly how you grasp your stem plants for planting!
I've been looking for a good video to demonstrate, for homeschoolers who are part of an online biology club.
Hahahaha! Loved seeing your face on the play sand bag. A delightful surprise!
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 :)
Much respect got a bad back and bad joints would do anything to be part of the aquarium hobby for a living like you🙌
I didn’t know you were an artist!! That painting you showed at the end is unreal!!!
"...salt water."
💯, Mrs. Serpa. Our high school had one that I helped care for and they are a PAIN IN THE BUTT to manage, but the corals and anemones and fish sure were gorgeous.
What a stunning looking tank this is!! I love that you chose for pufferfish, I think they are cool little buggers
This is absolutely stunning, and these little fish are the cutest fish I've ever seen❤.
Tanner, Tank looks beautiful... as usual. I think the little pea puffers are cute. Looks like your wife really likes them too!!
I really love the iridescent blue spots on these puffers! Glad to see another upload.
LOVED THIS BUILD BUT I LOVE ALL OF THE BUILDS
Honestly, Tanner in the sand box was hilarious! The tank is gorgeous, one of my favourites for sure
I honestly think this is one of my favourite setups you have done!
That's a cool set up Tanner. I really love it. It will only get better with time too.
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 😄
I think this is my favorite of all your builds. Those puffers are awesome. Dwarf lion for the saltwater!
Beautiful! The pea puffers are going to LOVE it in there as well! They are so smart, curious and adorable!
This tank layout flows well, very peaceful.
SALTWATER!!! Great idea lol! ...Love the cute Pea Puffer fish! And again another awesome build!
Beautiful tank!!! I’ve been looking into a peapuffer but I think you have me wanting to upgrade my tank first 😂Thanks for showing!!!!
Your wife is so pretty! I’m so glad she convinced you to do this one!!
I was literally planning on making a set up for a couple of dwarf puffers..and this comes out ! Let’s go !
Same!!! i went to my LFS yesterday to look at puffers and plants.
I didn't know you did art as well. Wow. You really are a creative soul. Well done.
I really like this one. I'd never have thought to look for fish like those but I love them so much and the overall design worked out well.
The fact that you also build this for your wife makes this video even better.
Love the tank and love you including your wife in this!!!
I live in Australia, there's less options in terms of exotic animals here, i love coming to your channel to watch all the cool little additions you get, the pufferfish are adorable.
Just love the way you think & coming "to life " on the playground is so funny , classic Tanner🍕 + I always smash the Like the second it gives me the chance💙💚
Thank you so much for showing how to keep the plants from floating out of the substrate. It drives me nuts!
Your scapes are so incredibly beautiful and it is a pure joy everytime you upload a new video! I really love these videos!!
I like when you say all the plant names out loud. It's amazing to hear.
thumbs up for the saltwater idea of your wife!!! would be nice to see a reef setup from you. keep it up and stay healthy
What a beautiful home you created for such ADORABLE little creatures. ♥
Very impressive. As always. 😉
I got some pea puffers to help control the pond snail invasion in my 75g.
They are the coolest little fish, each with their own personality.
They're not controlling the snails but they are highly entertaining and have earned a permanent spot in my tank.
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!
Every time I watch your builds I'm inspired to make some new environment for my fish. Very impressive stuff.
They look so great with that aquascape!
Oh my gosh! I love pea puffers! I was so excited when I read the title
LOL! "Saltwater...Nooooo" I finally finished binging MD & wow! Love your content too!
Those puffs look amazing! I've never seen any so plump when they're first added.
I really like the Serpa style. The fish always seem so healthy and they are not too bright
oh my goodness that play sand promo bit just geeked me out dude...very nice
I've just recently found you on youtube but wow dude. Your work is not only stunning but absolutely amazing. Your ability to make these things just seem so natural is amazing.
It’s a beautiful tank. I love the little pea puffers and the shrimp are cute to.
Gorgeous! The little Pea Puffers are the cutest! Keep on being creative! You're amazing!
I love Puffers too. Saltwater systems can be a challenge - i'm a big fan of corals.
I love your site/work.
Spectacular!!! That tank looks amazing!!!
Can't wait for your salt water project!
Much love from Sydney Australia ♥️🇦🇺
i absolutely *love* the way your editing style has been evolving recently, it really adds a nother layer of fun to these videos 👍
amazing edits, appealing footage, quality content. this impressive channel never ceases to amaze me
Showing us exactly how you stop your plants floating away?
You
are a goddamn hero.
Amazing!!! As always. And those pea puffers look so cute
Haven't even seen the whole video yet, but the play sand transition deserves an instant like!
Absolute beautiful tank..I currently have 6 pea puffers in a planted 20L but will soon be moving them into a 40B and will be adding 6 more...
Keep Crushing It!! Stay HUMBLE, Stay HUNGRY, Stay FOCUSED...~The Jarhead Entrepreneur
these puffers are in heaven. A lot of space for them
Dwarf pea puffers! Absolutely love how it turned out. Amazing. Good job!
So geat! I loved the ending. You and your wife are adorable!
