I still come back to watch this video a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdCOvPg5k3Q
If you’ve ever come across this video, you probably do too… judging by the view count.
This is why I got into fishkeeping right here. This vibe. Just some fishies and shrimpies doing their thing to some chill music. I love it.
Some of the videography and images of the fish and plants by Foo the Flowerhorn are breathtaking. Let’s take a look at some of my favorite highlights from the video:
Ready to start – so much potential!
Raw materials are ready – it’s go time
Assembled! You can see the algae on the volcano rock already
The view from below
Supervisor on duty
Nice closeup of the Azolla, with some Duckworth in between
Nerite going for a climb
Self explanatory 😉
The miracle of life, part 1. If you look carefully you can see the amano shrimp breeding
The miracle of life continues
One of the amano shrimp now going for a climb, and nearing the summit!
Amano shrimp eating the Azolla
Another beautiful shot of the shrimp making off with the Azolla
Look at their guilty faces. Hilarious!
With most of the azolla and duckworth eaten by the shrimp, Ricciocarpos Natans is introduced
And a lovely shot of the ricciocarpos natans from the side
That silly Nerite is at it again!
The new ember tetras and cherry shrimp are checking out their new home
Amazing view of the ember tetras
And great closeup of a cherry shrimp
New plakat betta fish added to the mix after 10 days
And getting friendly with the cherry shrimp!
Absolutely beautiful finished tank (with no CO2 and no fertilizers!)
