- So glad I didn't throw this bowl away all those years ago! Now I have a beautiful ecosystem living on my breakfast bar. The group of shrimp are getting on so well and I can't wait to see some little baby shrimplets!
You can follow this video along if you want to create something similar at home yourself; who doesn't love a bit of DIY?
Shrimp
Neocaridina shrimp (Mixed colour)

😂 the water fall the 1st time had me in stitches, Merry Christmas and I can’t wait for next years content
Hahaha yeah it wasn't that funny until I worked out what to do!
He should definitely do one 😄
It reminded me of those peeing cherub fountains
Now technically it's a cascade.
Matt do you watch the pet and aquarium supply museum youtube channel???
Go check out his videos and old aquariums

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!
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 🦐
I really like it, it turned out great! Neat to see the shrimp's climbing behavior!
This just gave me so much inspiration to get back into the hobby
Like this one a lot 😍
Glad you like it!
These are the type of inspiring videos we need , not only very large tanks. Great job
The hardscaping turned out much better than I expected it to and that peace lily really works wonders.
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 ❤
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.
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!
Matt your amazing dude 🤙
Thank you! Much appreciated 👍
Your Dalmatians are so cute! Also I laughed when you first turned on the waterfall! Lol.
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
Your constant smile says it all Matt. Well done sir.
Hahaha always happy!
I wish I could like this 10x
This is really cool ! A small bowl turns into its own little world, look forward to the big version !
That Dalmatian donut at the start!!!!❤
"Don't mind the dalmation, she is doing her impression of an accent cushion."
This is one of my favorite builds. Who would have thought a traditional gold fish bowl would become that work of art.
14:59 Go guys go!
Go do shrimpy-snaily things.😁
Love that Matt. ❤
Thank you!
Found you through MD and your content is absolutely top notch as well! Take care and thanks for the inspiration!
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 absolutely love this beautiful little ecosystem!!! Great job!!! 😊
❤👏
Me too!
I've never seen a shrimp climb as it did either! Thank you for the inspirational videos!
Your dogs 🐶 ❤. Wishing you and your family a lovely Christmas 🎄
Hope you have a great Christmas!
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.
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!
Stunningly beautiful:) Your cinemaphotography has grown nicely too:)
Thank you for sharing🙂💙🐟
Very impressed. Inspirational
Thank you!
Your outlet is in the perfect spot. Looks like a tropical oasis and I love it.
That came out beautifully.
Thank you!
I love this scape so much. I want to do a little shrimp tank for my house and this is so nice.
Lots of charm in a small space. Nice.
Gorgeous!!!😊😊😊
8:10 ROFL!! You just made my day! Thank you for the best video ever‼️❤️‼️
This is one of my favourite builds of yours Matt. I love the look of it and the waterfall is wonderful!
Lovely design. The waterfall turned out brilliantly in the end😂 .
Very nicely done ✔️ 👏
This looks awesome!
Thank you!
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 RUclips and each other etc.?
I loved this project. It was way beyond what I expected to see at the start.
Id like to see this again in 5-6month :)
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 !
Yes!! Big waterfall on top of a fish tank!!
I actually laughed out loud at the fountain 😂
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.
Such a brilliant idea, wait till M D sees it.
Was wonderful hearing your wife laugh. You and yours have a safe and joyous holiday.
It's magnificent.... exquisite architecture and details....
Sparked my imagination too!
That's an old school turtle bowl like Rocky had... 😊
Doggo has no time for your shenanigans. Key moment: when your wife starts laughing at your fountain fall
Love this!
Thank you!
awesome
Thanks buddy!
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 ;)
... When matt turned the waterfall on for the first time ... Classic oops moment, right there. I loved it !!! 😂
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.
Best scape yet Matt!
What a beautiful tank
I love this so much! It’s wonderful. Thank you Matt.
Awww thank you!
The waterfall was more like a drinking fountain 🤣🤣🤣 that was great! 😂
Love the bowl, reminds me of the 70’s!!!😊
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.
I must say Matt you’re knocking these out of the park. The last two especially have have been superb!!
Cool vintage goldfish bowl. Same type my family had 50+ years ago.
I loved this build accessable yet fun. It is inspiring how much you enjoy the tinkering part😊
Thought of my fountain in kindergarten. Also they will climb on top of dense duckweed
A suggestion - add some terrestrial moss along the waterfall. It looks great!
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.
When the waterfall came on 😂, really enjoyed this one Matt 👍
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
I absolutely love it. Great job.❤
This was so different and imaginative, Matt. Loving your work. Cheers!
Nice!
I love it!
Love. Love. Love this one!
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
Amazing, and absolutley delightful to watch. Thank you :-)
45k subs, 47k views. Doing a great job with the channel Matt
Pretty sweet little mini pond for your bar!
Just gorgeous Mat..❤
Waterfall shrimp was super interesting
Matt this is my favorite build yet!!! Maybe you and MD should kit these and sell them?
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!
The purple skittles are my favorite 🤭
You should hide the outlet of the waterfall with a clump of moss. Biological filtration, flow dispersion, visual cleanliness, tons of benefits.
you've inspired me to rescape my shallow tank...
To date, your first bowl was my favorite scape that you had done. This beats it by a mile! Awesome work, sir!!!
How about a go at a huge vivarium with its own ecosystem? Waterfall insects etc .. would be wicked… Good work Mat e
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
Nice change Matt Well Done!
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!
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 had a bowl like that one as a child that had a festival goldfish live in it for 3 years. This looks amazing, what a great idea for a fun vessel.
Yes I like that very cool.
Absolutely love it! 🥹😍
Dang it! Now I gotta go find a cool big bowl like that so I can do a shrimp bowl.
wow, such a great idea for a bowl. Well done mat, love that water fall idea. very very nice.
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! 💕
You and MD need to do this kind of build with a shallow tanks. Great job, love your content.
Thank you! I think we can squeeze something in
