Matt do you watch the pet and aquarium supply museum youtube channel??? Go check out his videos and old aquariums youtube.com/@museumofaquariumandpethistory?si=Y3zQ4WOnPuLFeXSD

At first I had my doubts to be really honest. My wife said "its Matt, just you wait". What can I say, its amazing and I love it, well done. Now my mind is running overtime with ideas 🦐

Ah, to be a little skittle of a shrimp, living in a beautiful bowl with a beautiful waterfall, having a kind giant watching over you and feeding you. Damn. These shrimp have it made. Dream luxury villa for them!

The hardscaping turned out much better than I expected it to and that peace lily really works wonders.

I really like it, it turned out great! Neat to see the shrimp's climbing behavior!

Ma main man Mat.. It’s good to see you doing your own thang dude!! You are going to do just fine. Relax and enjoy the journey - we will too ❤

This just gave me so much inspiration to get back into the hobby

I laughed when you pulled the bowl out. I've always known those as "goldfish bowls" - oh, the horror! Love the final product, so cool. I bet the shrimp have discovered the algae growing on the waterfall wood, so the more adventurous climb up for it.

These are the type of inspiring videos we need , not only very large tanks. Great job

Love this idea and the way it turned out. Can't wait to see how you'll scale this up and if the shrimp will do the same thing.

Yeah I'm really excited to see how it works!

14:59 Go guys go! Go do shrimpy-snaily things.😁

Absolutely love this Matt. My attempt at a waterfall hasn't really worked out. You've inspired me to have another go

You should definitely give it another go! I got lucky with the shape of the wood and the hole that was already there.

I know everybody wants to grow, wants to get bigger or more impressive scales. But this little piece of beauty is the stuff I can look at all day and never get tired. Something small and affordable to put in a little empty corner that can give you so much relaxation and entertainment. 🥰 You should try and sell something like these bowls 😅

Yea I absolutely second on selling something like these bowls! They are actually hard to find

This is one of my favorite builds. Who would have thought a traditional gold fish bowl would become that work of art.

Like this one a lot 😍

Glad you like it!

Your outlet is in the perfect spot. Looks like a tropical oasis and I love it.

Stunningly beautiful:) Your cinemaphotography has grown nicely too:) Thank you for sharing🙂💙🐟

One advice. pour some gravel behind under the filter to protect pump head from sand particles. If you leave it like that there will probably be some damage in the near future.

Found you through MD and your content is absolutely top notch as well! Take care and thanks for the inspiration!

Ooops I woke my little one up lmao at the first attempt at the waterfall 😂 * muuuuuum what you laughting at?* 🤭 Looks amazing. Shrimp will feed on rocks and wood poking out of the tank as long as a bit of water runs over it, it's amazing.

Oh my word, the first attempt to turn on the pump... Both my daughter and I were rolling laughing! But the end looks so good, you just inspired me to do something similar.

8:10 ROFL!! You just made my day! Thank you for the best video ever‼️❤️‼️

Your Dalmatians are so cute! Also I laughed when you first turned on the waterfall! Lol.

Your dogs 🐶 ❤. Wishing you and your family a lovely Christmas 🎄

Hahaha always happy!

This is the magic of fish keeping - you find an old fish bowl in your garage or maybe one on clearance at a garden supply store, then you add extra plants/animals/equipment you have lying around or donated by friends, but you have a clear vision - when the hardscape is obviously a waterfall (with the extra pump we all have lol). Then voila, you have a beautiful art piece for your breakfast bar AND you learn something new about animals you've kept many times before. Thank you so much for sharing. And have a very happy holidays!

I absolutely love this beautiful little ecosystem!!! Great job!!! 😊

This is my favourite of all your videos so far. I love the end result and the appearance of your dogs of course! It would be great to learn your (and MD's) back story. What did you guys go to school for and what was your career before finding KZread and each other etc.?

Lovely design. The waterfall turned out brilliantly in the end😂 . Very nicely done ✔️ 👏

I've never seen a shrimp climb as it did either! Thank you for the inspirational videos!

I actually laughed out loud at the fountain 😂

Matt! I really love the content- and it’s been great to see your personal transformation in how you communicate with the audience. I really feel like you’re growing as a presenter, or host should I say, in your videos. Compared to when you first started your channel. You are very genuine and sweet to watch. And I love your laid back- but still good quality content style. Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas! And looking forward to new stuff in the new year !

Id like to see this again in 5-6month :)

Wow! It’s beautiful. I bought a little water pump some time ago to make a small garden fountain. I’m thinking about setting up a small shrimp tank now, and I think it would be perfect in a setup like this. You have given me the inspiration to get the project going. Now, to find a cool container like this. It’s off to yard sales I go! 💕

I wish I could like this 10x

thats a really cute little paludarium bowl! simple but very nice. also i was TOTALLY waiting for the water to spurt out like it did 😂 you two are chatting and im thinking any moment now he will switch it on and get a mess of water splashing everywhere haha.

You made that dirty little bowl look absolutely amazing. Ya gotta do something like that again on a bigger scale. Wonderful job Matt, and please keep'em coming.

I can't believe what a great miniature landscape you made. That is a 1960s style goldfish bowl from the days when we tortured poor goldfish by actually keeping them in things like that with no filtration. It's amazing what you fit inside it and how well it turned out. BUT in my opinion that bowl is hideous and I would take the whole thing out and put it into a pretty little glass cube where you can actually see it. Maybe it is my bad memories of those bowls, lol. Thank you for the inspiration and entertainment - have a very happy Christmas😊❤💚❤💚

That turned out fantastic. Only you could take a plain glass bowl and turn it into a shrimp oases. And with a waterfall to!!! Well MD could probably do it to. You guys are the aquascape masters. Well done Matt. Well done. I want one. Oh if you do one on a bigger scale you could set it up for some mud skippers. That would be so cool.

That was brilliant!! I popped over from MD Fish Tanks, which I've only been watching for a couple weeks. Already learned so much from both channels and I dug my old tank out of storage and getting ready to plant today. Thanks so much

That Dalmatian donut at the start!!!!❤

Matt this is my favorite build yet!!! Maybe you and MD should kit these and sell them?

Thought of my fountain in kindergarten. Also they will climb on top of dense duckweed

That's an old school turtle bowl like Rocky had... 😊

A suggestion - add some terrestrial moss along the waterfall. It looks great!

Such a brilliant idea, wait till M D sees it.

This was so different and imaginative, Matt. Loving your work. Cheers!

Fantastic project there Matt! Glad someone can get a waterfall right. My attempt failed miserably lol

I don't know how Matt did it but it was a really beautiful well balanced aquascape not just a good looking fishtank but a beautiful aquascape.. I guess sometimes you just get the right peices altogether by luck 😂.. hey or Matt is a very good aquascaper

wow, such a great idea for a bowl. Well done mat, love that water fall idea. very very nice.

I must say Matt you’re knocking these out of the park. The last two especially have have been superb!!

Oh it looks really zen, and beautiful! Perfect placement too for when you are just starting your day and just need to calm the mind ready for whatever life throws at you. Just want to say, if you haven't already that is, I'm sure you have because you are no noob to this hobby, you might want to flip your nerite snail right way up, as they can't right themselves on their own and will die otherwise. I only mention this because mine died because he got knocked off the side of the tank and couldn't right himself. I didn't know anything back then lol

I love this scape so much. I want to do a little shrimp tank for my house and this is so nice.

I loved this project. It was way beyond what I expected to see at the start.

This by far is one of My favorite builds! I need now to find me a bowl like that asap and place it in the corner of my room! Thanks so much for making this video🥰I wanna make it, too! KUDOS🤗

Absolutely amazing, so clever this is something I need to get into but still learning and at 72 it's slow ha. Lovely guy happy to have found your videos

Dang it! Now I gotta go find a cool big bowl like that so I can do a shrimp bowl.

This is one of my favourite builds of yours Matt. I love the look of it and the waterfall is wonderful!

love this bowl tank! if you want to make the waterfall a bit stronger you can add some small stones/gravel at the exit of the tube so the stones reduce the velocity and it doesn't splash maybe worth a try ;)

I almost peed myself when you turned the waterfall on the first time 😂😂😂😂 Mery Christmas 🎄

The waterfall was more like a drinking fountain 🤣🤣🤣 that was great! 😂

I like shrimp bowl. Especially with fried Rice and a nice cold beer such as TsingTao for example. lol. Jokes aside this is a cute compact eco-system,

Lots of charm in a small space. Nice.

Yes!! Big waterfall on top of a fish tank!!

Doggo has no time for your shenanigans. Key moment: when your wife starts laughing at your fountain fall

You should hide the outlet of the waterfall with a clump of moss. Biological filtration, flow dispersion, visual cleanliness, tons of benefits.

Really cool, the waterful gives it so many more points of interest that you can look at. Would love to see something on a bigger scale.

I've always wanted to do something like this but with a drilled hole through the bottom of the bowl to accommodate the pump through the table.

When the waterfall came on 😂, really enjoyed this one Matt 👍

... When matt turned the waterfall on for the first time ... Classic oops moment, right there. I loved it !!! 😂

To date, your first bowl was my favorite scape that you had done. This beats it by a mile! Awesome work, sir!!!

I just wanted to wish you Merry Christmas and all the best for 2024 and hope to see you next year at vivarium in november in the Netherlands 💚

How about a go at a huge vivarium with its own ecosystem? Waterfall insects etc .. would be wicked… Good work Mat e

Cool vintage goldfish bowl. Same type my family had 50+ years ago.

Amazing, and absolutley delightful to watch. Thank you :-)

you've inspired me to rescape my shallow tank...

As beautiful as this scape is, is anyone else really impressed with how chill the dog is throughout this entire set up? Haha. My dog would be up and down like a yoyo lol xx

Love that Matt. ❤

I absolutely LOVE the way this turned out! I definitely want a shrimp bowl now because of this 😅 and we definitely need to see this idea on a bigger scale!

I LOL'ed at the first attempt of the Waterfall... Also the part where Matt went "that looks like ONE dog!" 😂😂😂.. Love it!

45k subs, 47k views. Doing a great job with the channel Matt

Pretty sweet little mini pond for your bar!

I have the same bowl, you've inspired me to do something with it. There's a registered design number on the bottom of mine that dates to the 1930s.

I loved this build accessable yet fun. It is inspiring how much you enjoy the tinkering part😊

I adore this build! My mind is currently shuffling through all the bowls I have that might work for something similar. Thank you for these creative, affordable scapes to get the creative juices flowing!

This is very cool. I'm sure I have a bowl like that gathering dust somewhere.

One of my absolute favorites so far…totally inspired to try something similar…excuse me while I go rummage through my storeroom now to look for a large bowl..

Great scape, and the best use of an old fashioned goldfish bowl. Merry Christmas.

Waterfall 1st attempt make me laugh... brilliant. Final effect.. wow that inspire me what I can do with my large empty jar sitting 6 months in my bedroom. 🤌 thanks

The scape turned out amazing, I’ve been watching your channel for about a few months now and I’m really loving your content. Keep up the great vids :)

Was wonderful hearing your wife laugh. You and yours have a safe and joyous holiday.

The purple skittles are my favorite 🤭

You and MD need to do this kind of build with a shallow tanks. Great job, love your content.
