Just to clear things up, tannins are not toxic to fish. Bettas, tetras, discus, angels, and shrimp thrive in acidic, tannic water.

Yes I know that tannins are good. I don't know exactly what comes out of this wood, but the smell wasn't very good either. I find alder cones and catappa leaf much safer.

Are backyard pinecones safe? How often do you re- landscape the terrarium? Annually? Biannually? Triannually? My beta lived 4 yrs (after purchase) in a filled 5 gal tank, is it sufficient? Your 10 gal tank appears to contain less than half capacity of water.

Shrimp do not prefer acidic water, they do best in higher pH with more minerals than tannins in the water.

Some info: the brown water leaking from the wood are the same tannin as from the catappa leaves. It is completely safe and the smell you mentioned in another comment is just the normal smell of the wood, not pleasant but not toxic at all. Next time you can do like 3 water changes to keep the tannin and to remove the wood smell or as you mentioned just boil it. Amazing scape otherwise !

This is absolutely gorgeous and your editing skills are top notch!!! I had a betta years ago and now I am really wanting to get one again and give it a proper home like you have. I hate seeing them put in little glasses and vases and being used for flippant display. They are beautiful fish that deserve proper aquarium setups!

I love that you don’t focus only on aesthetic side in this video, but you truly consider and recreate all the conditions it has in it’s natural evironment, which are needed to keep the fishes healthy and happy, great work 👏

For anyone who sees the moss ball and wants to get one: make sure you either get them from a reputable seller or *thoroughly* check yours for zebra mussels, an extremely invasive and damaging species that have been spotting in moss balls a lot lately.

@@mallorys2793 I’m not sure about Canada’s status on them because of the Zebra muscles, but they’ll likely be widely unavailable until the Russia Ukraine conflict is solved and Ukraine is able to resume its exportation of them. They were the major exporter of the plant. Japan has classified them as a protected species, thus limiting or even banning exporting them on a wide scale. From what I hear a lot of their’s sold in LFS’s are imported from Ukraine. I hope we get them back soon, they’re such a great plant.

Yes sir

The maidenhair fern looks absolutely spot on for a set like this, and the maidenhair will love the water! Absolutely stunning work.

I recently got a betta after being out of the aquarium hobby for several years and after doing research on bettas ive also learned that bettas prefer the murky type water. I love the setup, hopefully as the months go on mine will be just a pretty and natural looking 😊

The moment you bring up the plants for planting, heart fills with expectation & joy

Beautifully made !! And it looks stunning too !!

Design & production are NEXT level! Thx for the content 🙏🏻

I have a betta and you have gave me so much inspiration for making my new tank and I can't wait to see more!

"Wow!" What an amazing looking Aquarium. I know the Betta and his buddies are enjoying it.😄

The cinematography deserves an excellent award. It's brilliant.

I really do love the tank, looks amazing; only thing I would say is that corydoras do prefer a fine sand due to them sifting through it to find food, as a result some can cut themselves on gravel and that obviously leaves them open to infection. It is a smooth gravel so not the worst thing, but I just wanted to let you know

I too have a small (45l) tank like that, but it's super old now (started in august 2017). But hey, my harlequin rasboras are still alive and active, those little beasts lol However, they're slowly getting cataract. I guess this is what it's like to get old. Your betta will live many years because it has a decent owner!

I still love the wood scape that hangs over edge into tank and doesn’t even touch the substrate…easy to lift if needed but nothing contaminating the gravel/substrate. Leaves all that underneath area to view the fish you had…that’s my fave scape…..well until today maybe..lol Love from Perth, West Australia…Lisa
