Crypts are amazing. You can literally cut off every leaf (all you need is the base of the plant and the roots) when putting in a new tank setup and then you don't have to worry about melt. Yes, it will take a few more days before you see leaves but none will melt. I do it all the time when planting new tanks.
That's an awesome tip! Crypts are tough little plants, and it’s great to hear how you handle the melt. I’ll definitely try that next time. Thanks for sharing!
Your Lotus plant. IF you see a leaf stem heading for the surface, cut it at the base before it reaches the top. Other wise a majority of the next leaf stems will follow. This will force the lotus to grow more lower leaves only. Yes, an occasional one will try to get to the surface and you will have to trim it at the base.
Great advice! I'll keep an eye on those sneaky stems and trim them before they reach the top. Thanks for the tip to keep my lotus lush and low!
Nice simple betta tank. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it.
Just inherited a gold fish from my neighbor who moved away
I am in the process of turning my fish tank into a natural tank
That's wonderful! Turning your fish tank into a natural environment is a great idea. Best of luck with your setup. Your goldfish is lucky to have you!

Thank you
Appreciate your knowledge
Put a bed for him
Great idea! 😁 Maybe a little cozy leaf hammock for him to relax on. 🤔
@@AquariumMastery Yes, he will love
100% needed
Really nice commentary as well as tank design. You earned sub number 380 my friend.
Thank you so much for the kind words and the sub! Glad to have you on board!
Esperemos a ver como evoluciona!!! Va genial !! 👌
Absolutely! Thanks for the support!
Amazing. I've done a similar setup using coconut shells. Easy to maintain and portable as well.
Thank you! Coconut shells are a great idea. Do you have any tips for using them in an aquarium?
Clean the shell well and don't pierce the shell's eye. 😅
I'll definitely keep that in mind. 😄 How long have you been using coconut shells in your setup?"
@@AquariumMastery I had kept it for around a year 2022-2023, and then due to some reasons I had to scrap it up. But as you mentioned in your previous videos, it's easy to maintain. Maybe not as aesthetically pleasing as other setups, but definitely worth it, especially for beginners.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that the setup worked well for you, even if it had to be scrapped. Easy maintenance is definitely a big plus, especially for beginners.
Is the tank cycled? 2 weeks doesn't seem quite enough time for a no filter setup
Great question! The tank is mature enough to handle the bio load of a single betta fish. Even though it's a no-filter setup, I make sure to do weekly small water changes. Plus, since it's a bare-bottom tank, removing waste is easier and helps maintain water quality.
Great idea for a beginner, loved the tank setup. Keep the good work going, love from India and already subscribed your channel, hope will see such innovative and practical tank setups in future. Best of luck 🍀
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm glad you loved the tank setup. Best of luck to you too!
Surprised the betta did not jump out of the bowl,the ammonia and nitrite would have been driving him insane!
Good point! The water level was actually lower before, and my friend did regular water changes to help manage the water quality.
My plants are potted as well. I use small glass candle holders or the quartz & the acrylic aquarium planters i found on amazon.
I like the plants potted bc i can redecorate or clean around them easily.
It would look cool if you put java moss on the bottom around the pots
That sounds like a fantastic setup! Potted plants definitely make things more flexible. Java moss around the pots is a great idea. I’ll have to give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion! 🌿✨
@@AquariumMastery agreed 😊
I thought of the moss when I saw you take it out of the bowl lol so I got it from u technically 😆
Very nice tank. Cp3o looks like he thinks so as well
Haha, that's awesome! 😆 Glad I could inspire the moss idea. Thanks for the kind words. I'm sure 3PO is loving his new home too!
the simplicity of this tank is great
Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate the simplicity.
Simple and beautiful 🫶
Thank you!
Whoa, feels like I travelled across the CZcams multiverse and found a distant cousin. Awesome channel dude! 🎉
Thanks so much! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the videos. Just checked out your channel. Your videos are amazing too! Wishing you all the best with your content!
Beautiful 🎉
Thank you!
Meh actually
Prefer that the plants are planted in the tank itself then bowls.
Planting directly in the tank does give a more natural look, but this method makes maintenance much easier while still creating a beautiful environment for the betta.
What type of bowls can you use?
Larger bowls are fine to use, as long as they provide enough space for the betta to swim and thrive. Aim for at least 5 gallons to ensure a healthy environment!
Lock up to central prison 😂
😂 That's one way to put it! At least it's a stylish prison now with more space!
Hi, just a question. Is there a co2 setup needed to support the plant growth? Or do the shrimp and betta generate enough co2?
Hi! These plants do not require additional CO2 for growth. The CO2 produced from respiration by the plants themselves is sufficient to keep them healthy and thriving.
Respiration: Both day and night, plants break down sugars for energy, releasing CO2 as a byproduct. While photosynthesis is more active during daylight, respiration continues around the clock. Therefore, at night, when photosynthesis stops, the net effect is that plants release more CO2 than they consume.
what type of bowls did u use to plnat the trees???
These are plastic pots I picked up from a local store. You can use any container with at least a 2-inch depth for root growth, as long as it's made of a material that won't leach chemicals into the water. like ceramic, plastic, or clay pots.
Hi can I ask you to tell me where you got the bowls?
These are plastic pots I picked up from a local store. You might find similar ones in stores that sell kitchen items.
Seems like he'll get bored in there pretty quickly. Calling this a "lush, planted" tank is a bit of joke. It feels sterile and is just as bad as the small tanks people use. This feels like it was made for your viewing pleasure, not for his welfare at all.
I appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns. My goal is to create a healthy, enriching environment for him, and I’m always looking for ways to improve. I'll definitely take your points into consideration as I continue to work on the tank. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Really Nice tank :-)
What are the dimensions of the tank?
Do you have any filter?
Thank you! The tank dimensions are 30cm x 30cm x 30cm. I don't use a filter; instead, I rely on regular maintenance and the natural balance of the plants and fish to keep the water clean.
@@AquariumMastery okay looking forward to follow the projekt, I Will try to copy your aquascape.
That's awesome to hear! Best of luck with your aquascape.
Prison to a gold prison
True, but this gold prison has a lot more room to swim and explore! 🐟✨
No filter no co2 no heater!!?
That's right! In my setup, I rely on regular maintenance, natural plant respiration, and the ambient temperature of my Asian climate to keep everything balanced and healthy. It’s a low-tech approach that works well for me.
Toilet is always an option
Haha, let's hope it doesn't come to that! 😅 Trying to give them the best home possible.
