Gorgeous natural scape! I've just returned to fishkeeping after a very long break and have binged so much of your content over the last week that I feel I know your tanks better than my own 😆 thanks for inspiring an slightly aged fish keeper to pick up the hobby again.

It's such a vibe when you hack back that greenery to reveal driftwood and branches that we'd forgotten about

I have a beautiful, bright red Ramshorn Snail in my aquarium. A snail has ganglia rather than a brain, so I don't expect much from them, but this one startled me yesterday.

I had moved some things around in the tank. This snail hurried over to a small piece of wood, laid over so it's shell was flat on the gravel, worked it's way under one side of the wood, then righted itself and lifted the wood. There was a smaller snail of a different breed under the wood. Once it was out, the bigger snail reversed the steps and put the wood down then went on its way.

It also shoves plants around like a little bulldozer, which is normal, but rescuing an individual that isn't even kin to it surprised me.

The Monte Carlo looks amazing! All of your plants are thriving so beautifully. This is such an inspiration 🥰

So many people over work their aquariums, I love how you go against the grain and prove there is more than way to enjoy the hobby.

You are very talented and your tanks are always so inspirational. Thanks for your great videos.

Love the natural nature tank! All mine are setup this way.

My blackwater tank has loads of mulm in it the only part I really clean are the leftover algae tab bits after a day.
I think it looks interesting along with the dirt layers showing the various elements to the bottom of the tank as well.
It reminds me a bit of those bottles of colored sand that were popular at carnivals back in the 90s, only less crazy-looking. =p

This is my favourite tank you’ve ever made! Wow I love how all the plants look even overgrown

[Thesladenator]

love it! Your tanks have been inspo for my current 10 gall betta and chilli rasbora jungle tank. Its doing amazing. Dont have to do water changes, just top ups. Recently added a pothos to join the bamboo growing out of it. Love it.

Brilliant work you have some gorgeous tanks 👌

[Kyddoemiko]

It's amazing having a green thumb especially with aquatic plants. 😁💦🌿🌿🌿🌿

Love the update, glad to see the snails thriving! 🙂

I have started to like the idea of mulm on the substrate after starting a blackwater tank. The substrate was a basic white-ish pool filter sand (as there wasn't going to be much in the way of root-feeding plants), and the dusting of broken-down leaves and snail/shrimp/fish poop looks very 'real'. I have started to appreciate the little clouds kicked up when the khuli loaches scarper when I approach the tank (it's often all I see of the little beggars - that puff of disturbed mulm 😂)

Definitely a positive element in blackwater, unlike my more manicured clearwater setups.

I am still learning from you! Loved seeing how you maintenance these tanks, gives me tips on how to do all of mine! I too love the snails, my ramshorns are blue, they are so cute and spotted when they are young!

[Sannive]

I have a wild tank like this as well and my gold tetras are now having babies :)

My favorite part of the video 👉🏽10:18 😂

[norbertthoens]

Echt ein wahnsinniger Pflanzenwuchs! Es wurde wirklich höchste Zeit einmal "die Machete anzusetzen"...😂

I congratulate you on finding a way to live your dream while making a good income. As a viewer, I want to see more balance between plants and fish. What I'm trying to say is, I'd like to see you dig out some plants and remove them when the tank over grows and looks like an underwater jungle. There has to be enough swim room or it's not really a fish tank anymore. I noticed that you talk about plants 70 percent of the time. Since I haven't put cash nor labor into the project, I really should keep my ideas to myself. Would you please do a high priority swim tank. I do enjoy your videos.
