If this wasn't aquarium channel, I would of thought we were going to talk about world peace. The analogy is there and so true. Great opening.

I bought a 37 gallon tank today and I’m excited about setting up the aquarium your way and finally doing it right. Furthermore, I look forward to being lazy too.!

I love listening to Father Fish preach!

My pleasure!

Another great helpful video thanks Father FIsh for sharing your wealth of knowledge my aquariums have never looked or ran better than they do now after following your system with dirt sand and plants

Awesome video all my tanks are inspired by your methods.. Keep doing big things FF!!

I love your videos

THANK YOU !!!

Thank you for all of the information on natural aquariums. I thoroughly enjoy listening to you talk. I originally came to youtube in search of low maintenance aquarium ideas for my autistic teenage son. Your channel is a wealth of knowledge. My son and I are looking forward to all future videos. Best wishes🎉

Nice description!

I found your videos a day ago and i havnt stopped. i always had saltwater tanks and financially i cant do them anymore so moving to fresh n plant tanks. Thanks for you videos

great teaching

Looking forward to every FF video! Thank you FF for teaching us how to create a natural habitat for our Fish 🐠 It’s great to be apart of this community with my fellow shoal fam!

Respect ❤️

One thing with healthy natural water sources is that the fresh water keeps flowing in and the old rocks and soil carrying the beneficial bacteria stays in place. Without doing much cleaning, may be an occasional wipe of the front glass for viewing until the tank settles and one gets hang of the amount of light hours needed, just by water change and a little siphoning of excess dirt(not all of it), the tank can be maintained beautifully.

I'm super new to this hobby (don't even have a tank yet, been spending the last 2 months reading and learning). So far father fish's philosophy, and others like him, are able to keep the healthiest, cleanest, most natural looking tanks. I haven't seen a lot of the people from "the other side" but to me, if you want to keep fish, what better way to do it than to create an environment for them which is most like the environment that species has been living in happily for millions of years?

I completely agree with everything you said in this video and that’s why I think you have a great following. A lot of us want to make things easier in our fish rooms and have them look like a slice of nature instead of a fake looking glass box. I appreciate your vision and you and LRB are the driving forces that inspired me to have the fish room I have today. Keep being you Father Fish😁👍

I did his principles in a saltwater aquarium and noticed a massive difference. Got my salt water and rocks exc out of the Atlantic sea off the coast of New Brunswick Canada. Went really well. I even had a crab develop in there that must have come from an egg and i haven't had any aptasia anenome since. I was terrified it would eat my fish and corals and its now about a inch and everything is still doing fine. I did have a massive seaweed die off from the seaweed I collected from the Atlantic coast so I brought macro algea. I just had a power cut for 28 hours in which it got below 18 degrees and I lost 1 fish my little yellow clown fish goby so I'm calling it a win! I think the macro algea and bacteria kept it oxygenated.

👏👏👏

you rock. 😀😀😀

You’ve taught me so much. I’ve been in the hobby for 8 years and never knew a lot of what you’ve taught. Excited to see what my planted 20gal does now that I have your advice

hey FF, its been about 3 months now since ive started your method. its great, fishes are thriving, plants are growing non stop, on top of the aquascape ive created was from the beaches and creeks, its just beautiful, my 75 gallon sits right in front of my bedroom and its just great. my tiger barbs even starting dropping eggs all over the place. somethings im stressed about is the temps since i kind of despise hi tech tanks

Good Afternoon FF

I too have a canary 😊

Thanks a lot. I started my first natural aquarium. The fish are behaving more natural. I Europe you can use tera petra components. But I did it just from nature. Only a small filter, mud from the river and an old pond, leaves, plants and some fish. A cheap led panel is working fine. I have good experience with led panel, you use for offices etc.. I bought playground sand... I also planted some plant which are out of the water. ..... I love the idea and after 4 weeks my first fishes spawned ...

Oh my god there is so much wisdom in those first 3:21 You can put those 3mins over _so many_ things and it's still true. Like, we're not even talking fish anymore...that's just 2023 America in a nutshell

I am definitely in the MTS category. 😅 It's always been the curiosity with things and like you said growing with nature each day. In a world full of chaos nature somehow always finds a way to balance me again. I just let nature take its course and enjoy the process. I love this video! It hit me in the feels ❤

I have a few. They are pretty, unusual, pretty easy to keep. As brackish fish breeding is problematic. Would love to talk with someone who has spawned them and raised fry.

about 15 small tanks and 3 outdoor tubs… I recently had to downsize😂 it was getting crazy

I have also seen a lot of ppl doing this without a filter. What is ur experience on that?

I prefer sponge filters. That little bit of water movement can make a big difference in a stress situation.

Hi sir, I just setup my plant aquarium and start with 3 small fish, I don't use any kind of filter, only the 24/7 light. Is that ok without filter?

Yes if you keep fewer fish.

Hello, I hope all is well! I have just started my own aquarium less than a month ago. It is not doing well already, I have had my second fish die today. I would love to know where I should get my sand? I don’t want to create anymore problems within my tank, I would love for it thrive as I see yours are & will start using your tips to create my successful ecosystem!

All aquarium's are organic living environments, no matter how you decide to set one up, the end result will always be the same. The more time a given system runs, the less work you need to do. This is a truth for ANY style setup not just this one.

@FatherFish

6 ай бұрын

Absolutely true. Be sure your system has the best advantages to be able to maintain itself long term with stability.

I want to start this type of tank. Are you saying after a certain amount of time I don't have to feed my fish ? What about the plants? They just need light and nutrients from the soil under the sand ?

@FatherFish

6 ай бұрын

Unless you have few fish and a very strong food web you will always need to feed your fish. Just not so much and not so often.

father fish, can i ask about the substrate? is the supplement really needed for the aquascape? cause i live in Indonesia, and the FF supplement shipping costs too much for me. can i skip it and just stick with the soil and compost as my substrate? thank you for making a video about aquariums.
