👇👇MD MERCH CLICK HERE👇👇: FULL SHOP: md-fish-tanks.creator-spring.com These are one of my favourite kinds of tanks to create. Nothing but plants, hardscape, water and fish....and a light. Ecosystem tanks, or tanks that don't have a filter or require water changes are so easy to keep. There is a little bit of work to get them going but no more so than setting up a normal fully filtered setup. We just need good nutrients in the substrate to get the plants to grow and then pack it out with fast growing plants. they basically do all the work. As the fish, shrimp and snails poop, they provide an ammonia source for beneficial bacteria and the plants. This is what is filtering the water and after a few weeks, there will be no need for water changes and the tank will be thriving!

You are really inspiring me to level up my tanks, I love how you break down the build. These tanks look so intimidating so I appreciate the tutorials!

I've been watching your videos for a while now and I'm always so impressed with how well you create details with pebbles against the main hardscape. It makes your tanks look so natural!

I'm obsessed with this tank, saved for inspiration on a couple tanks that have been empty for too long, one for my Betta for sure. Thank you

Ahhh this scape turned out beautifully!! Your dumbo will be sooo happy 🥹 I caught this vid in time while I’m building my betta tank too!! Same dilemma with the shrimps 🥲🥲 It’s nice seeing how you work with the same plants I have as well, natural planted tanks have such a comforting vibe to them n I’ll never get sick of these setups.

those final stones always seem to make a massive difference. You see so many scapers harp on about clean lines but i love that natural scape look. Great job again

Watching MD’s videos just makes me so happy. If I’m ever stuck for ideas or need to find out something regarding my aquarium, I just hop onto his channel.

I grew up with fish tanks through most of my life, but these last decade or so I haven't had any tanks. I've relocated and was thinking the other day, how much I missed my fish tanks. I stumbled upon your channel and fell in love all over again. You make your videos so much fun and remind me of the happiness that my tanks used to give me. I'm on a quest to finish my move and setting up my tanks! Thank you for the inspiration.

What a beautiful tank! I've been adding more natural elements to my tank and removing the fake plants, I think my betta, my African dwarf frog and my snail like it better. But my goal is to make it look as beautiful as your tank. Thank you for this video.

Thank you for such a fantastic video on how to create a self sustaining betta tank! My workplace got us all betta for our classrooms, and they supplied us with those ridiculous tiny plastic tanks. The parents of one of my students are providing a larger glass aquarium for our betta fairly soon. I'm definitely going to try out an aquascape like this one. I'm not going to copy your design, of course, but rather take your advice. I want our betta to have a proper tank, but also for my students to see a proper tank and really respect her and learn about her. Our betta, her name is Queen, she is NOT chill. She has a sweet personality but she is quite active. She's all over the place and when the children go up to her tank she comes right up to look at them. She's super curious. Days ago I added some small seashells to her tank and one of them wouldn't sink, so she chased it around, and it was hilarious!

I normally copy your ideas and tanks but its almost like we read each others mind and are both doing betta scapes. You are so inspirational and i cant wait for the next vid on the 8 ft at maidenhead aquatics. I have a small fish room with 12 tanks and a few ponds hoping to get a big fish room like yours soon. I don't have the room at the moment. Also i love your hoodies they are so comfortably i just were mine everywhere so i will have to order a new one because i use mine so much around the fish room its getting a bit dirty and not looking as good as it was when i bought it. thank for another great vid your scapes and fish room is truly amazing !!!

My heart's pumping when you put the shrimps in there and the dumbo just stared 😂 beautiful tank. Love it!

I would be way too scared to use soil and not do water changes! I know anything is possible though! I’ve had four dirt tanks and I truly miss them. The best plant growth I ever had… no co2, not even any lights on two of them. Only ambient indirect sunlight, in a northeastern exposure. Best growth on THOSE tanks! But the first week, the ammonia spikes immediately, so I’d do water changes daily. Then lessen to weekly fifty percent. I need to try Walstead method now, in earnest. So thanks for the reminder! Btw If you ever experience an issue with ammonia or nutrient buildup (when using richer soil substrate), it’s helpful to float tradescantia, pothos or philodendron cuttings off to the side, and let them grow water roots.That can REALLY detox the tank, and create almost a “mangrove” look underwater, for fish to hide in.

One of my dreams is to have a tank similar to one of yours, they always look so freaking good

I always love your videos. They're so informative, and the friendly reminders on what you use is really nice :]

I no nothing about fish but been watching you for a year and for the past 3 days so far my betta and snail is ok thank you

This is so different from the tank we had when I was a kid. I love this so much - what a palace for that lovely Betta. I'm thinking about setting up a small tank for my desk at work. Is there a rule of thumb for how many plants to aim for? I'm considering starting with a 10 gal tank, but lots to learn first.

I wanted to tell you that you have inspired me. When my husband said “it will be nice to have an aquarium at home” I remembered the spinach soup with barely living fish that his grandpa has and I replied “No! We are not having that at home!” It’s been 6 years 😅 You have convinced me of the beauty of a tank with plants and with this type of ecosystem tank it will be much easier to take care of it and make sure that I’m not torturing animals. So thank you! We will soon be hosting a 100l tank for a beta with the look of your red wood tank, I really loved that one.

These fish really have personalities. Love them.

Betta are definitely my favourite fish they all have their own personality and are so friendly

Love your videos! I found that if you put in the shrimp before the betta you have less issues with the betta noticing them. Means the take is the shrimp's before it's the betta's so they're not as territorial. Hope your betta's still chill with them though! Love the tank

This video brought me so much serotonin. It’s truly inspiring! Definitely going to look into building a tank similar to this and I am so excited!

You should get some frozen brine shrimp. All 5 of my bettas love it and I feed them with tongs and they’ll eat right from it. Their colors are very vibrant and it’s fun to watch them eat and I taught one of them to jump and grab food out of the tongs. Live plants are also a lot of fun and I have all live plants in all of my tanks and I highly recommend them. One of my tanks I let get overgrown but in a good way because that’s the vibe I wanted for it and some of the plants actually started growing above the water which is really cool to see. I hope you enjoy your time with your betta and they are truly an amazing fish with so much personality when kept in a proper tank.

In my experience, you still need a nano internal filter (or perhaps small HOB) at the back, just to polish the water and with a tiny spray bar it stills gives gas exchange and removes toxic top film. All my tanks are Walstad and even Diane Walstad said she learnt some kind of mechanical filtration is necessary after years of experience!

Appreciate your input. In my experience it isn't necessary if you have enough fish to create flow in the tank.

It's not in her book... Can you point me to a link? Truth be told, I'd believe it though; if only because photosynthesis raises ph while nitrifying filters lower it (trying to keep my ph down is an constant struggle for me), so I do use a mechanical filter along with potted plants.

I didn't know Lobelia Cardinalis has mini form. It's really great plant, as easy to grow as pearl weed. I'd probably replace that Val with Valisneria Mini which grows up to 60 cm max, but it's much thinner. Overall the setup looks great! As shrimp go, I ended up with having both Cherries and Amanoes in a tank with Ramirezi cichlids! I cannot guarantee the pair won't eat any fries, but they are more interested in little ramshorn snails and shrimps thrive. Amano shrimps are bigger than Rams now. I'm starting 714l dirted tank... There's a small mountain range of the substrate. 😅 I was making sure there's at least 5 cm of the sand above that inch of pond compost and crushed lava rock.

​@@zonderbaar Hello, good overall, but it wasn't all "roses". Sadly I lost the shrimp, but that was partially due to delayed maintenance (clogged filter), partially it was probably because of Rams growing and cherries not having enough space to hide. Planaria and high temperature (summer heatwaves) also played a role. With 714l dirted tank, that seems doing the best. I lost some plants, because of being overgrown by other plants (valisneria, stems mostly), there were some minor issues with fish, but yesterday I had one pair of Angels their first attempt on laying eggs (no fry). Tank is so densely packed, some Swordtail fry start surviving without needing dedicated 2nd tank. There's 10 Rio Manacapuru Angels, about 30 brick orange swordtails, 15 Blackskirt Tetra, 2 Rinelocaria sp. "Red" aka Lizardtail plecos, 7 SAE (rather skittish), 3 Rainbow Sharkminnow and 4 German Blue Rams. It's not without issues, I had 4 Lizardtail plecos at the start, lost 2 of them during a heatwave. My tanks are covered, but it didn't have enough air circulation (water too high) and pre-filter sponge got clogged. After some fights smaller Ram male is now missing, probably I should have gone just with 1 pair. Rams seem to be similar to Angels in this, just more bottom-dwelling. On the other hand all other fish are thriving. Angles tried spawning and most are over 17 cm tall incl. fin tips. Swordtails were sickly in the old setup with soft gravel substrate (despite water changes and all). In this setup they have very little issues, some females reaching over 6 cm in length already, healthy, active, but not really aggressive. Black skirt Tetra are also reaching 6 cm, very active, little piranhas. I don't think they'd grow this big in smaller tanks. I do a water change about 3 times a year to be sure and clean filters fully 4 times a year. I use sponges on the intake hoses, which i clean every few weeks when trimming plants and adding some dry leaves (oak, cattapa/almond, etc.). EDIT: "Fish was thiiiiiis long." 😅

Also, this tank is beyond words. Like all your tanks! :)

Tank builds should be about the animal and beta love thick growth you planted the perfect amount loved this video.

I liked all the advice at the end and run down on what to do!

You motivated me to work on my tank today, thank you.

That looks so awesome just bought my first 2 betas I wish I could make something like that

Love the tank the way you set it up

I think this is my favourite tank that you’ve done 😍

I have val in my 10 gallon community tank. Before I trimmed it, it could reach to the ceiling! It also propagated so that it grows in the front, rather than the back, where I planted it.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video , very captivating !

Love to see the Betta getting a new home. Sounded a bit tired friend. Make sure you're getting your rest mate. Cheers.

We need more video like this MR MD!

I watched you before aquarium coop that's my motivation level!

Brilliant 👏. You do beautiful work. I may try this. Thanks

I really loved all your videos, it inspire me a lot, so amazing, keep it up 👍👍 From Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭
