I would say my biggest lesson with the small tanks is its good to go with slow growing plants. The best things about anubias, Java ferns, and bucephalandras are they are slow growing and you don't have to worry about them quickly growing out of control like so many other plants do.

That is the understatement of the century lol 😂 I wanted a “wildlife pond” so creatures could gather and drink water…. Decided I wanted fish…. Ended up researching everything about every aquatic plant, ponds and water parameters…. Now I have an outdoor 20 gallon whisky planter pond, 40 gallon stock tank pond, a 5 gallon tank inside and looking for another tank because my 6 guppies turned into 9, 876,353 guppies 😅🙃

I 100% agree about your channel being underrated!! Thanks for all the knowledge. You and Jason are very thorough

The most irritating thing about one of my nano tanks is that the filter pump cannot be removed.... impossible to clean the impeller and it eventually stopped working. Removable pump is now a must have on my list for any tank with a built-in filter. So for that reason I'd avoid the TopFin Retreat tanks. I have a 6 gallon Fluval Edge, it's got a small opening which is a challenge for maintenance and catching fish, but it is beautiful and the AquaClear filter is very durable.

Such a good point about having your tank at a good viewing height. My new one is on a bookshelf in my living room. Next to a comfy swivel chair where I’ll be a little lower, but still have a good view. I’m really excited.

I always measure the driftwood or lava rock before I buy a nano tank. If the driftwood or lava rock is too big, I just saw it off or break if off. I just love all of your tanks because they all have such beautiful aquascapes.

Fantastic 'all inclusive' list of tips for nano tanks! And it came at the perfect time since I am currently setting up my 3rd nano tank!!!

Awesome video. I wouldn’t consider something a failure if you learned from it.

Went to the store yesterday to buy a replacement for my 20 high because the silicon was starting to go…they were out but since tanks were 50% off I couldn’t walk out empty handed! Looking forward to setting up my new 6 gallon rimless cube for a betta! Oops! 😇

I’m afraid I’m a bit of an impulse buyer and have to deal with the consequences afterwards 😳 probably should take your advice in future 🤗

On the subject of tank size for bettas ... I've kept bettas in 3g, 5.5g and 6g cylinder, but have settled on divided 10g as better for the bettas and easier to maintain (even though similar ratio of fish to water, they seem to be more stable). Because I often pick up "rescue bettas" from Craigslist etc, and always have a handful of them, it's a compromise size to allow me to keep more of them, though I'd really prefer to give each a 10g. Well, I was recently setting up a new (tho pre-loved) 30g tank. It has dark substrate and driftwood, dramatic stripy black and white stone, tons of green plants, including long long Val draped from one end of the tank to the other, with a bubble wall at one end. Stocking is green laser cories and trilineatus cories, and some shrimp. And an impulse purchase - a curious and lively white (cellophane?) betta. Not only do they all look stunning together with the aquascape, they also seem to be really loving life together. And oh man, the betta uses every inch of that tank! He investigates the shrimp when they show themselves, scours the Val at the top for food that gets stuck in the fronds. He patrols the perimeter and checks the crevices of the driftwood and rocks, and he even schools with the cories when they're glass surfing in the flow of the bubble wall! It's still pretty early days for that tank, and I am more than a little nervous about him going on a killing spree some day. 😬 But I have to admit, it is also making me re-think my standards on minimum tank size for bettas...

Great video as always Joanna. I am literally getting ready to set up a 20 tall (moving sale find) for our kitchen. In reading the comments, I keep hearing about a list of nano fish 🐠 ..... I can't find the list 🙄. I

My favorite nano tank is the generic 1.3 gallon fish bowl I found randomly at Walmart. I keep it as a no filter/no tech planted tank, in my kitchen. Love it! I keep guppies, so for livestock I put newborns (5-8) in, let them grow for several weeks, then switch them out. The one thing I would add to your list is what plants are you using, if any, and are they good for growing out of the water? I added Java fern as I had a ton and it is too big for the bowl, and just looks awful. I will be switching it out soon, but gotta decide what to replace it with (Anubias? Creeping Jenny? Something else???)

My favorite tanks ever for me personally!!👍💚 Now I have a new appreciation for them since my living quarters have gotten considerably smaller living in a camper 🤣 What a perfect way to still enjoy the hobby and set up some planted tanks!! I actually enjoy water changes and because they're so small I can really pack them with plants and it looks like I have created something big 🙌 I still haven't taken the plunge yet to do some real hardscaping and aquascaping.. but I've definitely been collecting stuff when I start doing my rack.. my little "Nano Nook" inspired by you!!

Great video Joanna. I have 16 tanks. 2 are 10 gallons. I have mostly 5 gallons, 1. Two & a half grooms. And a waterfall tank which is 5.gallons. I do have these acrylic tanks by aqua culture. They are 6 1/2 gallon tens. They are my favorites. I hated the filter that came with them so I use on most of my tanks sponge filters or box filters and I have hang in backs on some. I enjoy the Nano tanks but I change and back twice a week. The 10 gallons also I clean twice a week. It’s work but I don’t mind doing it. Takes me about 4 hours or more a week which includes cleaning filters vacuuming and cleaning the glass inside and out. I have some plants but most are silk plants. Thanks for your video. I found it very helpful as always.

I absolutely adore your passion and I really feel you in this video. My least favorite size is 1.5 gallon. I've had fish jump out of it and they technically should have been happy but they didn't share my vision. Since childhood my imagination has died down and I've become more aware of the welfare of the fish. I now keep a 10 gallon as my quarantine tank and a 20 gallon as my nano tank. I eventually want both of my kids to learn about tanks and I believe 10 gallon would be the minimum size I would start them with because I realize fish have been happiest in that size minimum. Thanks for sharing your failures. I really enjoyed your video.

I have bought large pieces of driftwood and cut it to small sizes. It's tricky; you don't want straight cuts (obviously) , so I put those on the bottom. But it can be done.

Fell into the trap of a tall tank, i think it's likely similar to yours (26 inches high) for my office shrimp tank since I have limited floor space. Never again! I love to adjust my scape and am always having to remove my driftwood and plants to cull shrimps (into another tank of course). If I had a do-over I'd find a shelving solution that would have fit in that space for 2-3 5-10gal ones instead. Maybe when we move 🤔

These are all such important things to consider! After watching another channel that recommended a specific glass tank to get during the pandemic, because it had strong glass that actually arrived intact. The other features were hidden behind a wall. This is the Marineland portrait glass LED aquarium kit. Honestly I haven’t put it together yet, but one major drawback is the height to width ratio. The width is 9.5” but the height is 14”. So aquascaping is difficult, and you need either a ton of substrate to to correct that height difference, or figure out something else. Joanna, I did try your suggestion regarding checking out pieces of wood with a regular 5 gallon (that was all they had in the store), and I thought it would work, but was way too short. Awful looking. I have tried a few other pieces, but it’s sitting in a back corner of a room completely unused. Bummer. ☹️

I looked at that pretty 15-column from Aqueon. It looked too tall for my comfort, especially with the Aqueon stand. I left the store thinking about that tank but knowing it would be too hard...then about a week or so later you came out with your review.

I bought a 24 gallon square. It has all the lines of a rimless, It seemed awesome. It came with all the artificial media. The back houses all of the equipment. It was sold as a salt water tank. The lights are very, very bright. The thing is I feel jipped because with the enclosed housing it might be a 18 gallons for display and fish. Plus it is wonky. At first the sponge would get clogged up and then if you werent home you ran the risk of the tank over flowing. It seems to have settled now 9 months later. but i just never feel safe. Like it might over flow. Also those lights I have had to adjust and move up. I have had battles with hair algae. It has turned out to be lot of maintenance. I still love the shape of the tank, still trying to make it right. But if I had a redo I would just buy a basic 20 long with a back pack or sponge filter.

Just grabbed some more Anubis and I love it have you done profiles on all the Anubis I found congensis, frazeri, and Anubis nana and can’t wait to get them in my tanks.

20 Long is a nano tank ? Can my son and I get that statement notarized ? My son just upgraded his overstocked 10 gallon multi. tank to a 20 Long. Mom was horrified by the “huge, oversized tank that was way too big !” That said, as a Father re-experiencing the hobby through his son, I’d avoid tanks less than 2.5 gallons even with nano fish. For other fish, I’d save and get the larger tank for the space first. Furthermore I would advise going slow and enjoying the scape and cycle. Enjoy the nano journey and the mega benefits, Jim

I like the low and wide tanks. It suits more fishes' natural habitat. I don't know of too many fish that need to constantly swim vertically. I feel like those tanks are not happy places for the fish.

Worst tank I've tried is a 10 gal half moon. Too talk to reach the bottom, and hard to scrap and clean due to the curved front.

I love nano tanks, but from experience a 5g is as small as I go these days just due to water fluctuations and how hard smaller tanks are to keep stable. Just dropping a leaf into a tiny nano can totally shift the ph really fast and kill off everything in the tank. A planted 5g is more forgiving and the stocking options are much more versatile. 👍❤👍

Love this video great work. Have you ever made a diy canister filter ? Would be great for a nano tank

Love the 20 gallon long... working on a rimless 5.5 right now for a female betta. I do not like trying to aquascape in any acrylic tank - too easy to scratch / scuff. Glass only for me.

I made some pretty nice neat dividers using egg crate covered with black plastic canvas (for cross stitching), using black zip ties to put it all together. Quite labour intensive! And tricky to get the measurements just right, but if you do, pretty nice and stable in the tank because it's solid, not flimsy. Interesting note, both of them have ended up with some moss growing on the side. If it gets extensive enough, I suppose I'll need to make sure both sides are separately filtered. (One of the tanks has small sponge filters on both sides of the divider, but the other tank has a filter on one side, with the output directed at the divider to make sure of waterflow on both sides.)

When you said the first question I said my first question is: can whatever I’m putting it on hold the weight? It’s not just the weight, it’s the weight per square inch basically, and even if something is rated to hold that much total weight, can it take all of that weight in one tiny area? Will the structure still be stable or will it get top heavy? I have a handicapped son that pulls and leans on everything, so this applies to all furniture, even if it doesn’t hold a tank for me; I can’t have it tipped over and hurting anyone

bull, depending on how much hardscape takes up the tank determines whether it's a nano tank. on average, 2.5-7 gallons is considered a true nano. But once again, how much hardscape you use can take up room and provide less swimming space and surface area.

Bettas need a minimum of 5 gallons. Theres a difference between surviving and thriving

hmmmm. why do I keep thinking about being in a library and this woman showing me where the good books are...
