  • My first ever aquascaped bowl! I wanted to set this up to try out my ONF Flat nano+ and this light did not disappoint!
    I set it up in a similar style to my friend ‪@MDFishTanks‬ ecosystem bowl videos! It has worked so so well and I cannot wait to see how it grows.
    Definitely excited to test out more products for my aquariums in this way in the future!
    Also, I now have merch!!!

    Interestingly I think the black pumice in the black sand actually looks very realistic. I've seen similar around Lake Taupo in NZ where the pumice and the 'sand' were virtually the same colour and this looks very similar. Great design, thoroughly enjoyed watching.

    I’m completely new to Fishkeeping. It is fun to do new things, but stepping out of your comfort zone & exploring a new niche can be stressful. I thought I’d researched everything before I actually got Blanche (🐠) but wow I have really deep dived since then!! I have been researching & preparing to properly plant up an ecosystem bowl for her & snail. I have admittedly been a little nervous to actually hit order on the plants, media, & tank && just do the dang thing already! You inspire me. Especially as someone who has so successfully kept fish for so long, I think it is really cool that you are trying something new and learning, growing, & expanding as a both a fish keeper & person. I just hit order- Thank you for sharing your experience!

    I ran across some shrimp I could afford and it took 2 days to make my plants look pristine.
    My only fish are minnows from a local reservoir. The aren't colorful, but they are fun to watch.

    I really like bowl scapes I have a few , a tiny 1 gallon bowl a 6 gallon and a huge 14 gallon .
    here's my pro tip for bowl scapes , after you've scaped , planted , and filled bowl with water , you will sometimes think ," oh that rock needs moving a bit "
    unlike an aquarium ,when you when you stick your hand in the bowl , water pours out .......learned that one the hard way.

    I could kick myself now! I saw a large bowl like yours at our local thrift shop a few months ago, but didn't buy it! Silly me, had I only known! Well I did know, as I saw MD's bowl build, but thought I'd probably not build one myself, and had found other things I wanted right then. Now, seeing both of you and MD's, I really wish I hadn't passed it up! You did an amazing job on this one. Love all the components, and your thoughts, as you worked out how you wanted to do it. Anyhow, I am really enjoying your channel, and love how you and MD both have expanded my viewing pleasure! You guys make a great team, together and individually, and I'll always watch you both!

It's been a fun experiment. Now I want to try a bowl but I'm running out of space 😂 thanks for more ideas and a cool scape. Watch out MD, the apprentice has become the master!

Both the bowl and oto did incredibly well until I had to move. I've since given it to my mother when the betta it was now housing died. I now have my eyes set on an even bigger one.
