Thank you for watching! It's a craft video this time. I've been wanting to make a bigger tank for my betta fish for a while and I finally made it with driftwood I collected at a dam! From next time, it'll be food/cooking video again. :)

Of course, Haku is a Pokémon. He is a "cat" which is one of the previously undiscovered "snuggle" type - cats use zoomies (exhausts those present during the day, but wakes those who hear it at night), shedding (causes sneezing) and purring (lulls the hearer to sleep, kind of like Jigglypuff).
I watch both Rachel's and Jun's videos, and something that amuses me is how different their styles are. Jun's are well structured, feature relaxing tunes, well trained kitties, and Jun being informative and educational. Rachel's, upbeat, peppy music, random chaos of cats misbehaving, and Rachel bumbling her way through the project.

Doing chores, working at his desk, chilling with Rachel and the other cats...meanwhile, King Haku is just casually grooming himself or passed out spreadeagle.

Additionally, a proper setup like this is beautiful to look at. It can be said that there are a lot of people who consider fish easy to keep. But there are quite a few people who really invest themselves in building a living work of art that they can admire.

I have a tiny little 10 gallon beta tank. Sometimes you can buy wood at the store that's dense enough and it sinks right away. One time I had to stick a piece of wood in a tupper wear for a month and it STILL didn't sink. I finally just put it in the tank with something ugly to weigh it down. I had to test it every week to see if it finally got water logged or not lol.

So glad you showed the sanitizing of the driftwood. Many people make the mistake of not doing it, and getting wood beetles and other insects infestation in the home.
As someone who loves all animals and studies zoology, seeing how much time and care you put into giving your fish a beautiful and fitting home makes me so happy!! Betta fish are so commonly just seen as decorative pets and not given the correct care, but you've went above and beyond for yours which is amazing!!

"Hope you guys will like it!" I personally like all your videos.
I miss my days of fishkeeping, used to really enjoy it. Any type of catfish were my favourites, I had all sorts! Sadly had to stop as my health conditions don't allow me to do the heavy lifting of buckets of water anymore. It is good seeing the younger generations taking fishkeeping seriously though and not just keeping a fish in an empty bowl just to got round and round and round. They need stimulation as much as any other animal! What you've provided here is excellent! Good job Jun, I'm well impressed!
It looks like a sea forest... And i love how considerate jun is toward his fishes
That final reveal was EPIC! Jun is so creative and incredibly loving towards all his animals, so amazing!
I love aquascaping, so this was such a treat! You did an amazing job on the tank, and it looks incredible! Gives me a lot of inspiration for my next project!
I'm not even into aquariums, but this made me beam with joy! It's very wholesome. It's great to see the amount of effort, planning and attention to detail you're pouring into these projects. :)
This genuinely made me tear up. It is so lovely to see someone take such good care of their animal friends.
Jun, this tank is an absolute work of art. I love seeing how pristine the environment is for your beloved fish. They all look so healthy and happy in the aquatic wonderland you have created for them.
Your dedication is limitless, you have created an entire healthy ecosystem from scratch, I'm beyond perplexed... superb job!!!

Also this build reminds me of SerpaDesign and i think its great that you put so much care into a tank for smaller fish species, because they can be neglected pretty often but theyre just as cool.

I wish I have the time management skill that Jun has. He does all the wonderful cooking, takes great care of all the cats and the fish (a large aquarium) and the outdoor crops and the indoor plants! And as a KZreadr too! Does he ever sleep!!?? I own some tiny pot plants and takes me like 15-20 minutes every day. I wonder if he needs 2 hours a day to take care of so many fields!

I'm so glad I grew up watching this content. Every time I was feeling down or bored I would turn to these videos, always managing to cheer me up. Eventually I decided to learn more about Japan, now that I'm older I found a love of geography and specifically cultures of the world. Thanks for all the good times. :)
