Why am I emotionally invested in your tank
tom honestly 🥺🌟
Creating a fish tank can give you a real God complex
This made me laugh so much because...I realized the truth in this statement. My husband is like "are you watching videos about shrimp?" and I am like yes but also about life.
@@ScoutTrooperTK this comment REALLY triggered a lot of thinking . . . I CURSE YOU
Eric Satie?
When you said "I have 3 guesses" I was fully expecting three red, hand drawn arrows to pop up, each one pointing at a gourami.
moment of silence for dragon fly nymph and small shrimp #1
I miss them both
And the seed shrimp genocide
F
F
Is it confirmed that nymph was kill?
RUclips has been putting this in my feed for a while, and I'm like "I'm not watching a video about aquariums. I don't like aquariums. I don't care about them, WTF?" Finally I watched one and I told my wife, "What do you think if I tried to build my own aquarium?"
Wow haha
Same man
I JUST set mine up...LOL
What was her anwser?
@@nazwap4148 just walking away.
Love the amano running off with his newfound premium food and the gourami eyeing him like D:
🦐: aight! I'm outta here
me: man i love your videos its so relaxing
*shrimp murder happens*
me: 😧
911visioneye That's life
I felt that
ruclips.net/video/qiGx_0d4Bw0/видео.html
I feel too :)
Okay, but the thought of that dragonfly nymph escaping near your bed made me unnecessarily uncomfortable
It could turned into a dragonfly and flown away to the freedon
LOL!!
Sameeee
Spooky bug in your bed. Brrrrr
This video healed my soul.
Never stop making these, they're sweet, pure, peaceful and amazing.
True.
because the musica.ly .
You only think they're peaceful because the tortured souls can't voice or express their rage at being confined to a cage as a token of life in in an unfortunate charade maintained by a psychopath in a perpetual exercise of dominion. This is no different than chaining an elephant and poking it with a stick to make it so tricks. And anyone who enjoys such activity is likely a psychopath as well.
maxdecphoenix shut the fuck up Max
Swof typical demand. It's much easier for your conscience when there's no advocate for the victimized isn't it?
Welcome to the jungle,
we got shrimp and fish
mostly we get along fine
but sometime shrimp's the dish
*clears throat* carry on
I had a dragonfly nymph in my aquarium once. I didn't notice until it was sitting on the bubbler tubing. It shed too, then escaped through the gap in the tank.
I've also had a mystery snail escape my tank 🤣
Gave me a fright/thought I was losing my mind - couldn't find it in the tank. It slimed out through the gap in the lid and fell behind my dresser. Left a trail of slime in the carpet. Put him back in the tank and he survived - gulped down a ton of water right away.
i can't stop watching your videos. they're so calming and they make me feel happy. something about your care and attention comes across so well in your content. if i didn't have to move back and forth between two houses in separate states (for work), i'd absolutely set something like this up.
until i settle more, this is the next best thing. i really do thank you for sharing it.
You couldn't have said that any better. Huge fan...
Same here bro, and I guess it's the same opinion everyone got around here.
did things change for you? have you settled more since posting this? 😊
maybe I gonna do this in my retiring years...
Please. Put a camera in front of this tank and just film it for an hour or something and then upload the video. I love this tank.
I would also watch that. There are so many aquascaping tutorials but not much "just watch it!" videos to relax, most stuff like that focuses only on animals.
that would probably never happen since he has a cat and cats tend to knock things over lol
RIP small wild shrimp
Spoilers Alert
hahaha.. .sure of that too
I watched all of your series and read the book you recommended and have started my very own 5 gallon, no filter set up! :) It's so relaxing!
Which book?
I don't understand anything but this relax me
ahhahahaahahahahhha

Gourami: (leaves leftover flakes)
Shrimp: It's Free Real Estate
i used to an avid aquarist. i even bought a 10 gallon fresh water tank for one of my g/fs and helped her set it up w/live plants. this soil method is superb: no pump running, quiet, scenic, and beautiful growth.
Great video. no annoying talking like any other channel and no annoying intro. keep it up. For some great background music check out the minecraft soundtrack. a lot of it is pretty peaceful music for background noise.
Fish for thought uses Minecraft music
I began to perceive those gouramis as the villains of the peaceful tank after how the killed the poor shrimp :(
salamanje I knooow right?! The shrimp were so cute and hardworking :c
There needed to be predators to control the population.
Think about every time you eat a cookie how it’s family just watched it die, so you know what you must do
Eat them all and leave no witnesses
I will miss you dragonfly nymph 💔 I just love everything that you do. I wish you could have classes to show & teach people how to do this at home. I would definitely be your first student to sign up! Thank you for sharing your amazing gift & knowledge!
I'm gearing up to start my first planted tank, so I've been watching a ton of videos on various topics from different channels to help me plan. Your is the only channel I've subbed to, and the reasons are:
1. The daily timelapses showing the plants grow gradually (why doesn't everyone do that?!)
2. The Satie music. I looooooooooove Satie, and it's so rare to hear the gnossienes in addition to the gymnopedies. And not talking at all, just using captions and focusing on the music.
Those are what makes your channel really stand out, just feedback for you in case that's helpful... since you get so many comments saying "I don't know why, but I love this." Best of luck to you; I'll be watching!
Oh man, I'm like "let's watch a classic Foo video" and it's trippy to find my own comment. Two years later, I did start that planted tank. Now getting ready to set up tank #4 LOL
Watching these from the beginning since I came in late from one of your "viral" updates. So this is the beginning. This is when the gourmis first made their appearance. It's so beautiful. (Even though there was a baby shrimp genocide.)
This is called Dedication! Passion!
Came back and subscribed!
I had a damselfly nymph hitch hiker as well. It stalked around my tank and really worried me, but there were no casualties. I guess they're less dangerous than dragonfly nymphs. In the end I actually got to see it as it finished emerging, and I left it after watching for a while. I left the window open, and never saw it again. Very cool experience.
Everytime I watch your video, I feel like you are fish scientist, awesome bro. How big will the sparkling fish grow ?
Evolution : Machine to Man around 4cm
thanks. they are full grown already. around 1.5 inches.
Evolution : Machine to Man icthyology I think
Just discovered your channel; this is the first video I watched. It won't be the last. Very nice!
Idk why RUclips suggested ur vids bc I've never searched for aquarium videos but I feel so soothed 😂💜
Remember when Mr. Rogers would show you his fish tank, or how something was made? This reminds me of that. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
I never thought a 5 gallon could be so beautiful. Your videos inspire me to aquascape more
Such a lovely slice of paradise
Unless you are poor shrimp #1
I only started watching this channel tonight and its already my favorite
Same
Event Horizon same here. 🥰
im rewatching these vids after following this tank for the last three years and seeing loomsters family makes me so happy
"They ate all of the seed shrimp in this tank within 24 hours."
You see how they massacred my boys?
This method really works it’s been two months since I tried this and it’s going perfect thanks for the vid 💯
*Me being a tempered person
RUclips : i think you need aquascape videos
Me : i dont like it
.
.
.

Me : wow it calms me down
These videos are so relaxing and peaceful. Normally I am bored and skipping through other people's videos but this one is actually very well done and inspiring. I would love to create a tank like this. I am trying to have my main 55g tank become planted. Slow progress but it's getting there. Well done!
Your videos are strangely satisfying. Not my type of aquarium but the music reminds me FFVII and I the system seems to be working very well. Very nice to watch, Thank you.
You're so right about the music...I was wondering why it felt nostalgic.
This channel is what got me into this hobby.. I have 2 tanks now.. 😁
Such a well done video, I appreciate the effort you must of put in. Very nice tank too, and those fish look great 😊
Watching you care for the tank is like watching a bonsai master. Your videos give me an amazing sense of peace.
:( I hope the dragonfly is well! Thank you very much for these videos, as it has been said a thousand times before, these vids really do heal my soul!
I watch these during my frequent panic attacks it cures them you're providing a service
This seems like such a therapeuthic hobby. just relaxing and creating your own ecosystem and seeing a small community grow up. learning a lot of botany at the same time and some biology skill/knowledge. Great video dude
i started watching your videos a year ago, i used to have a lot of fish when i was younger but now that I'm 30 years old I'm back in business and all thanks to you. for ferts no CO2 no Filter gang :)
the 'redrum' part at 4:21 made me laugh
I have fallen asleep like 3 or 4 times each video because the music so calming
damn i love this so calming
I have glass shrimp and I like feeding them colorful foods like carrots, because you see the color stripe down their back of whatever they ate. It amuses me sometimes
That’s a cool ecosystem mate
Its just the fish, the water, the green plants and the relaxing music gives me life
I love this series. Keep it up!
Mad respects to you, man. This at first seemed an easy task, I thought. But man its one hell of a job to do. Youre a legend, keep doing what you love, dude.
New fish! They looked calm in your tank.
I enjoyed every moment!
Your video is always relaxing and interesting.
I also like your shrimp~
So funny and cute
It takes food and hides behind the plants. haha:)
I’ve never heard fish talking.
I can’t wait to see your next video!
These videos of your tanks have become a religion for me and I legit could fall asleep to them.
Thx for keeping this tank updated!
These are some very lucky fish. What a lovely home you've made for them!
This is quite beautiful.
I used to be scared of getting old and retiring. Now I look forward to it.
What a miraculous work of love, what an inspiration !!!
these are the most loving and peaceful videos i've ever had the privilege of watching
Love the background music
Erik Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1, in case you're looking for it.
It's from Minecraft
@@thememebean8391 no it isn't but it's in a similar key to Sweden which is in Minecraft
Hazzbro nope it's from Minecraft. Minecraft made the music Mozart was just a pussy bitch and copied it
@@thememebean8391 dude, gymnopédie no.1 were first published in Paris starting in 1888.
This is the music I used to listen to 365 days since I was born. Lol I’m 13 now and of course I don’t listen to it anymore but I still love it and this music makes me cry all the time, even when I was 4 because I was scared that something bad might happen..... well thanks for reading goodbye
These videos are so lovely. Thank you :3
I loved your videos so much that I got myself a single(after seeing the tragedies of fighting) pet croaking gourami weeks ago. They look almost the same as sparkling gourami but with stripes. The crazy idea just came up and I played this video to him. The fish loved watching it and barely leaves the phone screen the whole time. He even tried to touch the fish through glass. I thought it's a lovely story and I'd like to share this with you. Keep up with the excellent videos, me and my fish love it!
Looks like you have 3 male gourami and 1 female.
really? I couldn't sex them. thanks.
You're welcome! If you look closely, you can see the internal organs of the gourami (the yellowy bit below the lateral line). The males have the organs curving round and up towards their spine, whereas the females have a more triangular shape of their organs (these are the ovaries) with the point of the triangle stretching toward the tail. This is easier to spot during breeding though. For example, the fish at 2:36 is a male, and I believe the fish on the left at 3:00 is a female.
Im just here to say that in the later episodes (yep I binged watched them) you were actually right :) and its fun there were bebes
im really inspired to keep a tank some day now. its fascinating to see how much the plants grow and how the species all balance out! i learn so much through these videos
I hope that damselfly is just hiding! He was my favorite :(
Those darling little Gouramis must have come out of the bag and thought, "Jackpot!" What a perfect home for them.
How is the water still clean
and how do you filter it
without any filter
may i say, you’re videos ARE the BEST for watching while high, omfg i’m so happy rn i feel like i need to meet the man behind all this i need to meet you you are so amazing i literally am getting emotional, i was to do this but i’m lazy, this is just amazing i’m so happy:’)
Hey Foo, I would really appreciate a reply I'm having so much trouble. Where do you find your plants??? I can't find any good sources for plants to start my tank (online, stores, anything), also I wanted to know really simply how you get/make your de-chlorinated water and what do you use? Love the videos.
Paul Moody dechlorinated water comes from putting dechlorinator in water. You can find water conditioner at any fish store for 5-13 bucks. I recommend seachem prime, but the Tetra brands also work. Plants are also at lots of local fish stores. Ask for low light plants, they can give you plants such as hornwort or Java fern which will grow under most conditions
Thanks Cody, the advice you gave me was perfect! As far as the plants go I'm still stuck, some fish stores have plants but not nearly as much as foo/other channels have access too. Do you/anyone have any advice on the plants? Money is not a problem I just can't seem to find any good websites that sell them, or stores to get from.
try trinsfish.com
Paul Moody depends where you live. I can help if you live in Canada or the US. In Europe, most plant producers are located there, so you need to find their locations.
Doragon Yeah I live in Los Angeles, I can't seem to find anything within a hour away (only a few spots but nothing with a collection like his)
Man I love all of your videos. I used to be so into my tanks, then I stopped & got into gardening, now I'm getting back into tanks again so.. naturally I'm DYING to mix the two this time!!!! Thanks so much for the inspiration to try!
Love it, but did the gourami ate all the shrimp eggs?
amano shrimp don't breed in fresh water. I haven't noticed the wild shrimp carrying eggs. I think the wild shrimp are still too young.
Foo the Flowerhorn really? I saw the shrimp has orange stuff in her stomach
that was the fish flakes he gathered up and ran away with so that the fish wouldn't get it.
I love how it's turning out!
How are the fish fish doesn’t good without water or movement or filtration? Is it the amount of plants you have?
yes, the plants are the filter.
Gouramis can live in stagnant waters and plants (and bacterias on all surfaces) is the filter here
I was at work when I got the notice you had posted a new video. I could not wait to get home and watch it. Thank you and I look forward to more.
WHOA THERE IS A GIANT FISH FLOTING OUTSIDE THE TANK
😮😮😮😮😮😮
C.J. Pets huh? Where
These videos are so relaxing. I can't believe I've found your channel! I friend of mine sent me a video of this tank a couple of months ago and I've become obsessed with aquascaping ever since! So, thank you for inspiring this for me 🙏
Why such low quality flakes? You usually give your fish the best food it seems, why not this time?
Undead No payday
I just added a Sparkling Gourami to my nano tank and she's so lovely! Very slow and majestic swimmers, curious and smart too!
Ultra boring but soooooo cool at the same time. You have great patience
I get off to these they're not so boring
Almost morning... and i still watching this video. Its so beautiful!
Nice to see my gourami weren't the only ones that spit out the food multiple times. I didn't really know that's how all gourami feed on flakes. I kept thinking the food wasn't to their liking. I love pearl gourami but I'd need a much larger tank for just one of them.
Lovely videos. Incredible dedication. I saw the 2 months update and I instantly started caring about every little being in your tank. It was so nice to see that every creature lived peacefully together...until the fish. RIP little shrimp. I dread to see what's going to happen next. Praying for the nymph to be ok.
RIP nymph. I got here after seeing your 2 month update and I loved these videos.
I hope you get big some day :)
This is literally the most gorgeous thing ever. I want this setup so badly. (What I'm saying is I'm definitely planning on copying you.) 😉 Thanks for this and the other videos!
I just found your channel. I love your videos! Already allowed notifications from you. Your tanks are so beautiful, love to see them change through time!!
Love the eyes on those Gouramis; beautiful things. There was a small pond that I used to swim in in Nevada that was full of Gouramis; it had multiple little hot-spring jets coming in from the bottom and one enormous outflow from a cave; a thermometer I took with me on one Winter's day showed a steady temperature at around 88 degrees. As for where the Gouramis came from, I'm guessing someone dumped them into the pond and they bred like crazy; they were considerably larger than your beautiful little ones.
What an amazing way to capture how beautiful life is
I'm seriously thinking of doing a 10 gallon tank and sticking it with these beautiful lil nano fish. I saw 2 in my local pet store. One was a a fry, the other was a full grown adult all by itself
Just what I needed but didn't know. I always loved fish tanks and horticulture so this was a respite from the trite youtube videos. Love the background music.
Well done! This is the result when you do something with love and it is shown to all that you like it! Great music!
Sparkling Gouramis really are just the best. Mine are very shy, seeing about adding more cover to get them out of it. I just wish they were more common!
2 word : patient and perseverance.. i salute you sir
I love your drip method! I use a super low tech method (tying airline tubing in knots), but yours looks easier to control
New subscriber here. What you have accomplished here is my ultimate nano goal. I have a 5 gallon rimless cube that I'm itching to do something low-tech with, and I am floored by the beauty and simplicity you've achieved here. I want to achieve something similar, but I would like to try it with moss, spiderwood, and a couple small variety crypts. I'm taking notes and looking forward to the next update on this series. Well done!
Had a planted shrimp tank and thought it would be nice to get 4 of these. Of the 15 shrimp I had in there, I can only see 5 now. I really hope that they are hiding too well and were not devoured.
I named the biggest gourami Hannibal, since he's the most aggressive. The smaller one is Clarice. The last 2 ones are Jason (bigger of the 2, named after Friday the 13) and the smaller one is Freddy (Nightmare at Elm street).
thanks for the wonderful video, i´ve been really stressed lately but this was very relaxing.
This is so peaceful to watch! Thanks for the video! 😄🌿
This guy's a perfectionist!!! Specific, detailed. Man u must excel at everything you do!! Nice video, gives me confidence to go dirt
