    Win - You've really inspired me to get back into the hobby after leaving for a few years due to loosing my tanks to a terrible snow storm and power outage for several days. With no way to provide enough heat for my fish they all sadly passed away and I was crushed. a few months ago I was scrolling through KZread and noticed one of your videos in my recommended and I thought "hmm that looks cool" from that moment I was hooked. I fell back in love with fishkeeping and so far I have a planted 10 Gallon tank for my betta and a 5 Gallon Heavily planted shrimp tank. So thank you MD for reigniting my passion in this hobby and I look forward to watching your content for years to come. Keep up the great work MD!

Its heavily planted and looks amazing. Started with a couple of plants, rocks I collected myself and wood branches from a dead tree out the front- low cost. Ive added heaps of different plants, upgraded the filter etc as ive gone. Second is a small 10L quarantine tank that is currently quarantining some pygmy cories and has cherry shrimp cleaning crew, floating and planted plants. My 3rd is a 40l tank containing a paludarium with about 20-25l water, floating, stem and epiphyte plants and a small cherry shrimp colony which is currently breeding like crazy!!

    Great video, I have been keeping fish for 60 years, I had 34 tanks at one point but, as I get older it get harder to keep up the maintenance, so I am now down to 3, one marine and 2 planted aquariums, I am sure new comers to the hobby will love your stuff.

You’re an inspiration for fish keeping now. This video is perfect because I wanted to rescape my betta tank. Keep up the great work.

    Win- I’m currently live in Australia. I’m now owned one community 4ft tank and four of 20L baby tanks. I added this to my hobby since I was a kid back in my country which didn’t get a good care of it back then. After I’m doing some research and watching your videos, I notice that the whole aquarium do need a good care too ,which I’m sometime I make a joke and ask myself that “ why my fish get a heater, while I rarely use my bedroom heater in order to save the house’s electric energy” .

    Win - I've been in the hobby for about 19 years but I've had little to no idea what I've been doing that whole time. I got my first tank when I was six and just went with whatever happened. Over the last four months, I've been researching heavily (your channel has been a godsend!). I've got my 37 gallon scaped with live plants (planning a new scape soon) and a brand new 20 gallon that has some gorgeous lyretail blue rams that I just put in yesterday. Fishkeeping has been so cathartic and such an amazing hobby that I've rediscovered. I've even promised my girlfriend a custom-built betta tank for her birthday! I'm so excited to introduce her to the hobby.

    Wow, awesome! I already have 4 bettas (plus other fish...) but I went to get some corydoras today, and ended up with another betta too. Oops! 😬 Since I just rescaped the tank, they can all quarantine in their new home - a heavily planted 30 gallon with a school of green laser corys, a school of false julii corys, and the new white betta. They look so good together, and the betta didn't even flare at any of them through the whole evening.

    "Win" - Hey there, This is my 1st time doing one of these and actually able to enter for a chance. So far my life has been pretty rough but slowly pushing through with help of my friends and my Aunt/Uncle's. Having lived in New Hampshire for almost 11 years with my mother until she passed she was a huge animal lover and always had a simple fish tank that she always let me play with to make it even better. Then moving to Mass. To gather what was left from my grandparents after they passed I found a photo album with me as a kid with my grandfather with a big tank that was used to make a replica of one of our fishing spots that I had totally forgotten. My uncle who is from Guam had started a massive coral tank with shrimps, clams, and some really weird fish I had never seen. Watching and helping put it all together and seeing the final project through I really wanted to get back into fish tanking, but never had the actual time due to work. It would be nice to come home to see a fish tank that's alive to help calm the nerves of a hectic day by watching the fish be carefree without worry's.

I got my other betta a month before the second one, and he is doing very well. Had him for over a year. About 15 months. Both my tanks are planted. My husband died 18 months ago. Found MD after deciding to try the fish hobby. I am now a Grandma. I have my first grandchild. Most beautiful grandson ever. 😁 He is 4 months old. I'm 58.

    Win- I recently medically retired from the Army and my husband recently asked me whats a hobby i want to start since ive been having a hard time adjusting. I use to be very active and run almost every day but unfortunately i cant do that anymore. I got to thinking and i realized its a good opportunity to finally try out planted fish tank with lots of beautiful fish. Funny story i never owned a fish until i joined the military, thought they might be a boring pet but i was wrong. One of my co workers started buying a bunch of bettas but putting them in TINY fish bowls. He had placed one on top of some shelves and i noticed it started collecting dust (and some of the other bettas were dying), so i stole the fish. I remember looking at this poor beautiful betta thinking what have I done i dont know how to take care of a fish. The more i got into researching how to give Patrick, is what i named him, a good life the more fun i started having creating a habitat for him to live in. Patrick has since passed but he lived a great 4 years after i stole him. I have a lil babe now and want to share this with him as well.

    WIN- I am actually a marine biologist, working for my state in the Department of Environmental Conservation in the Bureau of Fisheries, so fish are my livelihood, but it has been almost a decade since I last had a tank up and running. I currently have a small tank with a twintail half-moon betta and a mystery snail, along with some (currently really ugly) dwarf hairgrass, anubias, a cardinal plant, and some water lettuce. I am looking forward to getting another larger community tank set up. This is actually my first time with a planted tank, so I has been a lot of learning.
