You only think they're peaceful because the tortured souls can't voice or express their rage at being confined to a cage as a token of life in in an unfortunate charade maintained by a psychopath in a perpetual exercise of dominion. This is no different than chaining an elephant and poking it with a stick to make it so tricks. And anyone who enjoys such activity is likely a psychopath as well.

Welcome to the jungle, we got shrimp and fish mostly we get along fine but sometime shrimp's the dish *clears throat* carry on

I had a dragonfly nymph in my aquarium once. I didn't notice until it was sitting on the bubbler tubing. It shed too, then escaped through the gap in the tank. I've also had a mystery snail escape my tank 🤣 Gave me a fright/thought I was losing my mind - couldn't find it in the tank. It slimed out through the gap in the lid and fell behind my dresser. Left a trail of slime in the carpet. Put him back in the tank and he survived - gulped down a ton of water right away.

RIP small wild shrimp

i used to an avid aquarist. i even bought a 10 gallon fresh water tank for one of my g/fs and helped her set it up w/live plants. this soil method is superb: no pump running, quiet, scenic, and beautiful growth.

I will miss you dragonfly nymph 💔 I just love everything that you do. I wish you could have classes to show & teach people how to do this at home. I would definitely be your first student to sign up! Thank you for sharing your amazing gift & knowledge!

Watching these from the beginning since I came in late from one of your "viral" updates. So this is the beginning. This is when the gourmis first made their appearance. It's so beautiful. (Even though there was a baby shrimp genocide.)

I'm gearing up to start my first planted tank, so I've been watching a ton of videos on various topics from different channels to help me plan. Your is the only channel I've subbed to, and the reasons are: 1. The daily timelapses showing the plants grow gradually (why doesn't everyone do that?!) 2. The Satie music. I looooooooooove Satie, and it's so rare to hear the gnossienes in addition to the gymnopedies. And not talking at all, just using captions and focusing on the music. Those are what makes your channel really stand out, just feedback for you in case that's helpful... since you get so many comments saying "I don't know why, but I love this." Best of luck to you; I'll be watching!

I had a damselfly nymph hitch hiker as well. It stalked around my tank and really worried me, but there were no casualties. I guess they're less dangerous than dragonfly nymphs. In the end I actually got to see it as it finished emerging, and I left it after watching for a while. I left the window open, and never saw it again. Very cool experience.

Just discovered your channel; this is the first video I watched. It won't be the last. Very nice!

Idk why KZread suggested ur vids bc I've never searched for aquarium videos but I feel so soothed 😂💜

Such a well done video, I appreciate the effort you must of put in. Very nice tank too, and those fish look great 😊

These videos are so relaxing. I can't believe I've found your channel! I friend of mine sent me a video of this tank a couple of months ago and I've become obsessed with aquascaping ever since! So, thank you for inspiring this for me 🙏

I never thought a 5 gallon could be so beautiful. Your videos inspire me to aquascape more

Everytime I watch your video, I feel like you are fish scientist, awesome bro. How big will the sparkling fish grow ?

These videos are so relaxing and peaceful. Normally I am bored and skipping through other people's videos but this one is actually very well done and inspiring. I would love to create a tank like this. I am trying to have my main 55g tank become planted. Slow progress but it's getting there. Well done!

These videos are so soothing and informative. :) Thank you for gathering and sharing so much footage from every step of the way, instead of just the end result. Looks like a lot of work, but it's gorgeous!

"They ate all of the seed shrimp in this tank within 24 hours." You see how they massacred my boys?

Lovely videos. Incredible dedication. I saw the 2 months update and I instantly started caring about every little being in your tank. It was so nice to see that every creature lived peacefully together...until the fish. RIP little shrimp. I dread to see what's going to happen next. Praying for the nymph to be ok.

What a miraculous work of love, what an inspiration !!!

These videos are so lovely. Thank you :3

I was at work when I got the notice you had posted a new video. I could not wait to get home and watch it. Thank you and I look forward to more.

thanks for the wonderful video, i´ve been really stressed lately but this was very relaxing.

This seems like such a therapeuthic hobby. just relaxing and creating your own ecosystem and seeing a small community grow up. learning a lot of botany at the same time and some biology skill/knowledge. Great video dude

This channel is what got me into this hobby.. I have 2 tanks now.. 😁

Mad respects to you, man. This at first seemed an easy task, I thought. But man its one hell of a job to do. Youre a legend, keep doing what you love, dude.

the 'redrum' part at 4:21 made me laugh

New fish! They looked calm in your tank. I enjoyed every moment! Your video is always relaxing and interesting. I also like your shrimp~ So funny and cute It takes food and hides behind the plants. haha:) I’ve never heard fish talking. I can’t wait to see your next video!

I loved your videos so much that I got myself a single(after seeing the tragedies of fighting) pet croaking gourami weeks ago. They look almost the same as sparkling gourami but with stripes. The crazy idea just came up and I played this video to him. The fish loved watching it and barely leaves the phone screen the whole time. He even tried to touch the fish through glass. I thought it's a lovely story and I'd like to share this with you. Keep up with the excellent videos, me and my fish love it!

Remember when Mr. Rogers would show you his fish tank, or how something was made? This reminds me of that. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

That’s a cool ecosystem mate

This is quite beautiful.

This method really works it’s been two months since I tried this and it’s going perfect thanks for the vid 💯

im really inspired to keep a tank some day now. its fascinating to see how much the plants grow and how the species all balance out! i learn so much through these videos

You're welcome! If you look closely, you can see the internal organs of the gourami (the yellowy bit below the lateral line). The males have the organs curving round and up towards their spine, whereas the females have a more triangular shape of their organs (these are the ovaries) with the point of the triangle stretching toward the tail. This is easier to spot during breeding though. For example, the fish at 2:36 is a male, and I believe the fish on the left at 3:00 is a female.

Hey Foo, I would really appreciate a reply I'm having so much trouble. Where do you find your plants???

@Cody-mu5sj

Paul Moody dechlorinated water comes from putting dechlorinator in water. You can find water conditioner at any fish store for 5-13 bucks. I recommend seachem prime, but the Tetra brands also work. Plants are also at lots of local fish stores. Ask for low light plants, they can give you plants such as hornwort or Java fern which will grow under most conditions

(I have a blue I nearly had to re-home, but he’s calmed a bit as he’s gotten older. Just fierce!!) Thank you so much for your amazing effort with the video, it’s beautiful, informative and a wonderful treat to watch! ‘Happy ‘fishing’!
