AS for substrate, check Tropica's website, "Layouts" section. These tanks are mentioned there, and there is a complete list of plants, substrate, equipment etc.
Guys, fighting fish are fighting mostly against their own kind. They don't pay much attention to other tank mates, and sometimes they need to be pretected from them (like from tiger barbs, for instance, which will nip betta's fins).
Did you check "Rapid LED"? I don't know about the other brands you mentioned, but Rapid LED seem to be easy to set up and configure, and it is also not very expensive... (but I didn't use it, I just like the idea of making your own LED fixture)
Hi. You're tank designs are impressive. I was looking to do a freshwater tank design and looking to use Driftwood. Can you recommended any types of driftwood that you or the designers have used that work well. I have researched driftwood in aquariums and have found that they can discolour the water and that you may need to boil them in hot water or repeatedly expose them to water remove any tannins prior to adding it to a tank so it doesn't create murky or brown water. Can you please help me with this problem or suggest how you're designers over come this. The naturalistic look is best for me and i rather not use plastic. Thanks
First off, I want to say thank you for the videos..... But I do have a question for you, I have a standard 55 gallon aquarium with neon tetras and rainbow fish. Would it be okay for me to add a wave maker to the tank? I love the gentle sway of the leaves and fish in the tank, but I do not want to harm the fish.....
Well, Rams would probably not harm adult shrimps, but they would eat young ones, I think... However, during molting, even the adults could be damaged by Rams, so I'm not sure if it would be possible to keep Rams&shrimps for longer time.
Well that's new to me! I was concerned about him eating other's babies and smaller tankmates. You know last year my 2 month-old show betta killed and bit off a spider's butt. I thought these fish can become nas~ty sometimes :D
7:05 Siamese Algae Eater the best way to prevent Algae growth in tank without any use of chemical :) this is my opinion. please correct me if i am wrong ^_^
oh sorry for that. i thought it was Siamese Algae Eaters. Thank you for correcting me :) btw sir could you please suggest me how could i get a planted on a budget way. thanks in advance :D
shubham mandal No worries :) These fish are Nannostomus beckfordi - they are from the Characidae family (same as neon tetra) and originate from South America. So they don't have much in common with SAEs, which are Cyprynids and originate from Asia. As for planted tanks, visit plantedtank.net, www.aquaticplantcentral.com or ukaps.org - these forums are dedicated to planted aquariums and there are numerous helpful people there :)
Is that true that the lights that I mentioned are not really towards the top level in the $250 range? I am curious what is the best LED that I could buy for tops $270? I couldn't find a site that has ALL existing LED maker brands (like with pc products :P), also, there is not much decent info on this topic. It should have more comparisons etc. Also, I was messaging to guys who have tanks with a light for over 2 years, since their plants are still like new, and beautiful, but no answer yet...
There is no one simple answer to such question. Various plants require various conditions - but most of the time soft and slightly acidic water is better than hard and alkaline.
Hi! I was looking to get a decent LED for my 30 gallon 32" long tall freshwater amazon style tank. I was looking at the kessils, but god they are expensive. I would have to spend 500 with everything to set up my tank with kessil A150 amazons. I was looking at the Current USA Satellite Freshwater LED Plus and the Marineland Reef Capable LED Lighting System and Marineland Double Bright LED Lighting Systems, but Age of Aquariums guys (long Beach CA) told me that all of them are a big crap... :S
Hmmm, I don't think wave maker is a good idea... If you want a gentle current, just use the outlet of the filter. Freshwater fish are not used to waves, they prefer to stay in the current (these which live in flowing waters), instead of being constantly pushed back and forth by the waves.
DefiniteAquascapeTV Thank you! I researched it and it is pretty cool:) I just got a Lumix G6 that has very good video quality besides still photos and I'll see how that goes. Happy Holidays !
4 gallons is still slighlty too small - minimum 6, if not more. Enter "keeping betta fish" in Google, you'll find a link to "bettafish" site, with lots of useful infos about keeping bettas.
that tank is more then 60 ltrs, and it all relative and way the fish could even be dwarfs if they exist.They also were not full size and seemed very happy even with all the changes im sure the went through.
I particularly like the lay-out of these aquariums, and the fishes are really beautiful, especially the blue rams. Thanks for upload these videos!
Wow those are all beautiful tanks.
A big wow congratulations. Can I ask you what are the water conditions for the plants to grow so nice?
AS for substrate, check Tropica's website, "Layouts" section. These tanks are mentioned there, and there is a complete list of plants, substrate, equipment etc.
Thanks, I'm glad that you like it! :)

Beautiful aquariums! Can anyone tell me what the plants in the "Tropica Easy Plants" tank are? And what kind of substrate is used?
hey man, the name of Fish at 4:30 is Electric Blue Ramirezi I think...
YES YES YES NOW I KNOW WHAT IS REAL SIZE OF SAWBWA RESPLENDENS! I NEED TO BUY THIS FISH! :D
Nice Video! Can you tell, which Myriophyllum plant was used in the Do Aqua! tank. I like the colour.

great video thanks for upload
Thanks :) For conditions, check Tropica's website, the "Layouts" section. Layouts no 68, 69 and 70 :)
nice video man....
Sure :) According to one of the guys from AquaJardin, it was Myriophyllum "Red" :)
Could you tell me the name of the plants in the second tank (rio 125) please? I am looking to build my rio 240 tank exactly like this :) Thanks
beautiful

Vallisneria sp., some crypts Cryptocoryne sp.,Staurogyne repens, Microsorum "Windelov" and some kind of moss on the driftwood, probably Taiwan moss.

No, it's Sawbwa resplendens, originating from Lake Inle in Myanmar.
Thanks for the help
awesome
Ramesh Balakrishnan Hehe, I know, beautiful tanks :)
It's Sawbwa resplendes, species endemic to Lake Inle in Myanmar.
In 10:00 is this a betta fish? he is with the sawbwa resplendes?
Well that's new to me!
I was concerned about him eating other's babies and smaller tankmates.
You know last year my 2 month-old show betta killed and bit off a spider's butt.
I thought these fish can become nas~ty sometimes :D

Thanks for the info. Interesting, it looks more brown than red...
Some Hyphessobrycon species, probably H. bentosi.
what fish are they at 04:18 ?
Are those fish @8:52 Rummy nose tetra ?
Apparently, you cant import Tropica into the States. I was looking for a reason to move anyway.

"Spider's butt"? You mean it ate a spider? That's perfectly normal, these fish feed on insects in nature :)
what's the fish at 4:34?
Didn't think you'd be able to keep cherry shrimp with the rams.
Hmmm, I don't think wave maker is a good idea... If you want a gentle current, just use the outlet of the filter. Freshwater fish are not used to waves, they prefer to stay in the current (these which live in flowing waters), instead of being constantly pushed back and forth by the waves.
what type of camera are you using?
Sony HDR-CX550V. Great camera for filming aquariums.
DefiniteAquascapeTV Thank you! I researched it and it is pretty cool:) I just got a Lumix G6 that has very good video quality besides still photos and I'll see how that goes. Happy Holidays !

Thanks! :) Indeed, G6 looks to be a very good camera - and video quality is great, I've just checked some samples on Vimeo :)

Electric Blue Rams (variety of Microgeophagus ramirezi).

CentralParkShark that's an electric blue ram cichlid. Max size, around 7cm. Needs 60 litres at bare minimum
that tank is more then 60 ltrs, and it all relative and way the fish could even be dwarfs if they exist.They also were not full size and seemed very happy even with all the changes im sure the went through.
What fish are these with red fins at 6:04 ?
+pratik hande Apistogramma agassizii
Yup, that's true :)
You put a betta in a tank with other fish?
Isn't that a bit risky? That's a "fighting fish" afterall.
superanckie!
Yup, it's Betta :) Why are you asking?
Well, many aquarium plants are called "red", even though they are rather brownish in appearance :)
where is this place
It was organized in London, UK. But only twice, and it's not being continued anymore :(

Your'e welcome :)
Fish at 4:30?
Hehe, good reason! :)
They know that you're watching them, that's for sure. But if they "want" to grab one's attention... Hmmm...
its funny but it seems like sometimes, the fishes try to grab your attention its like they know haha..just a thought.
Because the Betta is very aggressive! Hard to see in a community!
Naaah, they are agressive mostly towards their own kind, not other tankmates...
cani put money plants in my tank
What are "money plants"?
Tanks capacity ain't adapted to their population at all ...
which fish r those @2:03
?
what kind of fish was at 9:00?
