- Hello Everyone,
This is a 12 gallon long that is 35x8.25x9.5. It's a really cool tank and I think the aquascape turned out really well. Hope you enjoy the video!

I bought a 12 gallon long with my Christmas cash. I used the dry start method for Monte Carlo, added some tall plants in the background and finally added chili rasboras and celestial pearl danios. I plan on adding blue velvet shrimp soon!
Beautiful tank size and scaping! Good job, Joanna!
NiX aKi Thank you!😋
Love the shape of this tank.The scape looks great Joanna. Thanks for sharing guys.
Very cool little tank. My wife knows that I've been wanting a co2 system for my 40 breeder and I'm happy to say she came through with the best Christmas gift ever. I set it up today and I can't wait to take the high tech tank. Happy New Year and keep the videos coming. Thanks
It will be fun to watch the plants grow faster!
The 12 gallon “shelf” aquarium is dope.I’ve always thought of it as the perfect betta aquarium because it’s shorter so they can reach the surface easier, but it’s bigger like a 10 gallon.
Cody Plant Yes, absolutely! And I agree - it IS totally dope!! 🤟🤟
I'm doing one for wild bettas now and how I wish someone would address the lid situation without ridiculous spendy custom builds that take months or Saran Wrap.
Stunning scaping!!! Great work Joanna!
Bruce Leroi Thank you!! 😋
I have had mine running for about 8 months, great tank.I like that the fish have lots of swimming room vs a standard 10 gallon.Your tank looks amazing.
Love the gift rocks! One of my gifts was money which turned into a tank within 24 hours. My best gift was a large quilt which the top had mostly been done by my grandmother who died many years ago. My cousin completed it and gave it to me. Amazing!
The quilt is such an awesome gift!
I've been eye hustling this tank at my LFS for a while now for my wife's kitchen counter. Love it, a mini river tank. Maybe some Gobys and Hillstream loachs. Gotta do it now I can justify it as a late Christmas present. We got ourselves a big dehumidifier to help with the aqua-lung thing due to 13 aquariums in a small bedroom apartment. Great video. Thanks and Happy and prosperous New year's.
Love it - nothing better than a kitchen counter tank. : -)
@@PrimeTimeAquatics I agree! I've got a 25 gallon tank on my kitchen counter, filled with glowlight, neon, and cardinal tetras, and some julii corys. Not sure I'll move it into the fish room when that's ready, because it's so nice to have it to look at. Matthew, I'm sure your wife will love this in the kitchen :)
This tank is beautiful! Great job Joanna! I’d love to get my hands on one of these tanks! 💚💙
Stephanie Morgan thank you! They are hard to find. I wish I had a bunch!
Stephanie Morgan Jason has added a link - they are on Amazon. 🙂
Love the simplicity of this tank. I have a Fluval flex with green rasboras ,they are very pretty.
Christine Wilson Was hard to restrain myself but worth it. Green ones sound very pretty 🙂
I love this tank. Sold out at the moment on Amazon. Beautiful scape Joanna. Thanks for keeping it simple but so pleasant to look at.
Thank you!
Patiently waiting for it to come back in stock 😏
@@EtchGames Its in at Amazon.
Love the simplicity of this tank!
Simple yet beautifully aquascaped. Thanks for sharing
Trinifish Hobbyist TV ☺️ thank you, had fun!
I just love this scape, I was looking for inspiration for a Rivertank scape. Thank you!!!
Thank you!
I began fish keeping in November 2022. If you can believe it, I have gone through nine different tanks in that time. I only have one aquarium going. Then I stumbled upon this one on Amazon. I am in love with it. Yes, it's only 12 gallons but it has so much more room for my fish. It sits on the bar counter in my kitchen and looks fabulous. I had a Fluval flex 15 gallon before and I'm convinced my fish are way more happy in this tank. I was really excited to see you showcasing it it on your channel. 😊
Such a cool tank!
Looks great guys........... Happy New Year to you guys
Thank you! Happy New Years Joanne!
When I saw a sneak peek of this on your shelf before I was so excited because I wasn't sure I wanted one but now I'm definitely going to get one. It really looks awesome.
Thank you! I love these dimensions!
I love how the white sand reflects back up onto their bellies and wraps around. it's making my Green Neons look amazing.
I'm pretty sure the celestial pearl danio is the same as the galaxy rasbora.
The Maine Tank 👍🙌✨
Yeah it was too early for that mansplanation (and about as accurate as they usually are 😝) I had to pause and refill my coffee.
Great looking aquascape! In such an interesting sized tank! Brilliant video as always! 👍
Thank you!
Love the video. Happy New Year’s 🎉🎊.
Thank you! Happy New Year!
I was thinking of getting one of these for shrimp. Looks great! The long piece of wood really makes the tank. Happy New Year!
That would be cool. : -) Happy New Year!
Catfish Cave 🥳 Happy New Year!!
Awesome tank! Very different dimensions idk if I have ever seen a tank with those measurements. Shout out to Aquatics Unlimited! Great store!
Electric Blue Aquariums ✨🐠🙌✨
I really like tanks that are long, but not as high - would love a 100 gallon tank that is 8ft. : -)
You just convinced me I need one of these! I've been eyeing one at my LFS for months!
If they have one I would buy it! :-)
Looks lovely, Joanna! I've seen that tank scaped a couple of ways, it's a really intriguing footprint, lends itself to new takes on the nano scape/stocking. Love those fossil rocks you got for Christmas, definitely worth redesigning to feature them! While I didn't get anything fishy-related for Christmas, I did _give_ my Dad a Fluval Flex 9, aquascaped it while the turkey cooked, and stocked it with some of our home-bred guppies :) My dad is the one who got me into the hobby as a kid; he got his original tank used 50 years ago, where he kept neons and guppies and other tropicals. That same tank held my first goldfish, and then last year we set it up with guppies for my younger son. That sparked a deep dive into the hobby for me, and an exploration of aquascaping. Seeing that, Dad expressed interest in getting back into the hobby, so it was wonderful to bring it back full circle with this gift! :D
Anne Thornton What a nice Christmas/fish/family/generations story! Thanks for sharing, Anne, and a very happy New year to you all!
Super looking tank. Happy new year and all the best for 2020 🥳🥳
Thank you! Happy New Years!
I love this tank size and dimensions!! Looks like a river! Love the Petosky stones!! As far as I have heard, they are only found near Petoskey / Charlevoix area (no where else, even in the Mitten! I’ve been a Michigander since I was 5, and that is our State stone. Love that you have them in your cute nano scape!
Thank you!
Very nice!! Looks great! I have two Aquaskys, love them both.
Good to hear!
That is a really nice tank thank you for showing it
Dwight Kerley Well, thanks for watching!
Congrats wow, it turns out so cool, beautiful. 👍👍👌👌😍
Thank you!
Looks great, like the size and shape of tank.
That’s a awesome looking tank, love the dimensions 💕👍
Thank you! It's definitely one of my favorite sizes of smaller tanks.
Wow I love everything about this tank. Just order it on Amazon. Happy New Year!!
Very cool - I think you will like it.
Joan Virgil Exciting!! Enjoy and let us know what you stock it with 😊
I gotta tell you that is an excellent scaping job... That little tank looks absolutely amazing
Thank you!
Thats a really cool footprint! There are so many things that you can do with that. I love it!
Veteran Aquatics I know. I’d get like a dozen if I could 🤦🏻♀️😆
@@mrsprimetimeaquatics5497 same here! Just a bunch of awesome little nanoscapes!
Hey guys great video looks awesome 👍👍 everytime I look your channel is getting bigger and bigger keep it up 😁😎
Thank you! Appreciate you watching. : -)
Duke City Aquariums - Duke City Aquariums in the house?! Thank you, we like your videos too! Good luck in 2020!
Love this tank! For Christmas my husband (who’s not into fish, but respects that I am), bought me some Amazon Puffers from The Wet Spot! Yay!!! Love them!
That is SO cool!
OMG, Petoskey stone!!! My husband and I were LITERALLY just talking about this stone! He was stationed in Charlevoix with the US Coast Guard! They're such gorgeous stones and are definitely ONLY found there.
I got a powerhead for the holidays to help ke do water changes on my 3 10g tanks. 😊
Now that's a useful gift! : -)
Renee Roszkowski Really?! How funny and so cool!! And congrats on your gift - yay! 😋
love these low and long tanks
corrosive72 Ditto - and now luckily popping up in nano sizes! 🙌
Petosky stones!!! Michigan represent!!! ❤️
Great scape ,got a subscription to a fish magazine for Christmas.That was it as far as fish stuff.So today went to lfs and bought another super red bushy nose pleco ,to ad a little different genes to my breeding project.
Very nice!
Hi sweeties! the tank is awesome and i am soooo jealous....i am looking forward to more aquascapes ...they are getting better and better...xx, Aunt Pat, oh..., and Uncle Mike 😉
Stones worked out great. : -)
monica hayes Thanks, you two!! The stones look soooooo pretty and the fishies say thank you too!! ✨🐠✨
Nice tank, Joanna! Galaxy Rasbora AKA Celestial Pearl Danio. I had to give Joanna credit there, too!
I thought those were what I know as 'CPD's'. Glad you said something because I was about to.
I guess she wins. : -)
Ian Roldan No kidding?! Haha! 🙌
"Danio margaritatus, the celestial pearl danio, often referred to in the aquarium trade as galaxy rasbora or Microrasbora sp. 'Galaxy', is a small cyprinid from Myanmar"
@@PrimeTimeAquatics you were both correct. ;-)
I love the foot print of this tank, so much so I just clicked the Amazon link to buy one. The scape looks great! Those rocks are very pretty.
I think I'll put a hang on the side filter on mine and make a mini hill stream type environment. I love nano fish.
I bought myself a 125 gallon long tank from PetSmart on Black Friday. It's in the garage. I've crossed another fishkeeping line. LOL. I have garage tanks. It's going to be my rainbow tank. I've gotten rainbows from my LFS and from Bob Steenfott. My plants came from H2O Plants and Aquarium Co-Op. I love those Christmas sales. I'm in the set up stage right now.
Garage tanks are awesome! Next is shelves of garage hard-scaping material.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics Hahahaha! That is coming next. Right now it's in boxes and I can't remember exactly what I already have!
Look amazing well done
Thank you!
The Fluval Aquasky light is great.
I have the same unit on my 20 gallon high tank.
My only complaint is that it doesn't come back on following a power outage. You have to reconnect to it with the app to get it running again.
Brad Clarke really? Oh, that’s good to know, thank you!
you've got some honeycomes in there too. It's funny i saw this tank and before I even saw you put them in, I thought, I want to put petosky stones in mine. Lol.
Also, Charlevoix stones and petosky stones, though extremely similar, are different fossils.
I love the hardscape you created here. The stone you used reminds me of oolitic limestone but bigger!
Cant take my eyes off it, would love some displayed in my tank, very jealous
GeoFishDude Thank you! I’m so glad you like it 🙂
I got my wife Jane a Fluval 5 gallon Spec nano tank setup for Christmas. We worked on the aquascape together, using dragon stone and driftwood that I included with the gift. She made all of the final arrangement decisions, though. Substrate was Caribsea eco complete. We got some dwarf sag, crytocoryne wendtti and narrow leaf amazon chain swords for plants. We bought 3 golden white cloud minnows so far, and are going to add a couple of endlers and cherry shrimp. It sits on the break between our kitchen and family room, and she can watch it from both sides.
That's really cool! Sounds like a nice tank.
Nice scape love that tank 👍
Love it! Beautiful scape! I like every element! PS. For Christmas I got two white pearly calvus and 4 Congo tetras(for different tanks)!
Those are cool fish!
Wow, hey, I’m from Brookfield Wisconsin! But I’ve lived in Cleveland many years. Great Lakes rock!
The Petosky stones are fossilized coral of devonian age. Great video as always. Happy New Year!
Thanks for the info!
kerry yellin Happy New Year!
Really kool foot print aquarium!!! Great job
Lito Loco 4 Fish Thank you and Happy New Year!
@@mrsprimetimeaquatics5497 thank you and a blessed happy new year to you and your family 🙏🏼
What a great 'scape. I love this. Will be keeping this in mind for our nautical themed dining room.... Hoping the space we have is not too much sunlight. I've never used real plants...
N. C. This is one of my favorite sizes!
@@PrimeTimeAquatics We love your galaxy rasboras. We also were thinking about rummy nose tetras for this tank. Do you think those would be okay in this size and if so what quantity would you recommend? Thanks for your time in advance! Many thanks from my family as we begin our fishy journey.
I got 2 new Betta fish ... A pair so may be breeding in the future! Very exciting... Happy new year x
That's really cool!
The galaxy rasbora is also known as the celestial pearl danio
Matt D S yes! We were both right 🙌🙌thank you!
@@mrsprimetimeaquatics5497 When they were recently discovered they thought it was a type of rasbora, but after further studies it was determined they are closer to danios. In stores they are still called galaxy rasbora, but celestial pearl danio is the more accurate common name 😉
@@AngellusBlack that's cause "galaxy rasbora " take up less room on the tag!
@@jonlawrence7866 I've seen them tagged as CPD occasionally 😉
I got some shrimp supplies for Christmas. Going to set up a 40 gallon breeder for neos, probably blue dreams or bloody mary's haven't decided yet. I now have everything except the tank, stand, hardscape and plants. Going to start cycling it with snails in the next few days.
0:37 She didn't take that at all lol You guys are awesome.
this is my dream nano river themed aquarium!
That would be a great set-up!
You have a beautiful tank. What I got for Christmas was a 29 gallon tank, Sun Sun 704 B canister, media for the Sun Sun, 10 ft roll of pinky floss, 6 sponge filters, a new air pump, 50 ft of airline with accessories, aqueon quietflow 30 to go with the 29, 3 new cichlids, 2 clown loaches, a 3 pack of carbon filters and my favorite, my daughter's fish gave me a late Christmas present of fishy fry born on 12/30.
Now that's a fun Christmas!
@@PrimeTimeAquatics Sure is. It's stuff I'll always use rather than it be something I use only once with a majority of it and it sits in my closet or line of sight and it never get used.
Love it, but gotta make a special point about how great those river stones from Michigan look!
Publius Velocitor Agreed!! Those rocks are stunning - they will be popping up in our Instagram for sure 😊
Nice video. I have the exact same tank that I haven't set up yet. For filtration, I am thinking of using an aquaclear powerhead with a large sponge on the intake, this way I have both filtration and surface circulation for such a long tank.
That could work.
Beautiful tank
Marcie SoCal ty! 😋
Love the scape on that tank.
I got a 200g and a 5g for Christmas!
I can’t wait for Joanna to come scape them for me 😉😉
Scott Backer 😂 wow - two ends of the spectrum on that!
Hi Joanna, would love to see you set up a 12 gallon long aquarium like this for shell dwellers!
Looks awesome Joanna! I have a 20 long I’m going to scape for something nano. And for Xmas I got a 50 gallon lowboy, you guys inspired me. You know what’s going in there?
Shellies!?!? : -)
Prime Time Aquatics ohhhhhhh yesssss ^_^ I have a decent colony in a 20 long. They will get moved once the tank is ready to go!
I like that Carib-Sea sand. My 55g Danio tank has a layer of iron oxide rich clay from under the topsoil in our yard, then red/brown flourite, and now topped with the sand.
After having a red bottom for a while it looks kinds of jarring with the white now, but the shrimp and baby danios show up a lot better now, and the kuhli loach will enjoy burrowing more in the sand. :)
That's an interesting combo!
@@PrimeTimeAquatics Yeah, the rocks I have in the tank are red lava rock and red sandstone, so I wanted a nice consistent river bottom look here. But that red fluorite was just a bit to sharp for my liking with the kuhli. I wanted to soften the substrate up a bit before I add more kuhlis to keep him company :)
Hey. Awesome video =D. What’s these rocks name? And where I can find them online? I’m building a pond tank and those rocks would be great for that. Thank youuuuuuuu.
Whats the best filter and light combo for this tank? Just got one lighting is too strong for it with a 36' light unless dim, and then too much flow with a 20 gallon filter.. not sure what to use now
Great question - We are going to be switching over to two Aquatop Forza 5-15s - one on each side. They have adjustable flow and are reasonably quiet. As for the light - something adjustable. I just did a review on the Nicrew light that is adjustable. That could work well.
Petoskey and Charlevoix stones are usually found in the same areas, the larger exoskeletons are the petoskeys and the smaller ones are Charlevoix.
lbox88 Ok, got it- thanks for the info ! ☺️
I recieved a 55 gallon tank with a nice oak cabinet. Its awsome. Great looking tank. Very beautiful. Question I'm looking at the larger rocks in there just wondering what wieght can the bottom take?
David Wagner ooh! Have fun!! 🙂
That's a tough question to answer because each manufacturer may use a different thickness for the glass and the silicone job/type will also have an impact on weight as well.
i just got my 22 long aqamaxx in love my tank
Really neat! And i didnt get anything for Xmas but thanks for asking
MaddhatterWildlife Brandon ..sorry to hear that. 😑 How about a to-me-from-me gift to and from yourself? 🙂
@@mrsprimetimeaquatics5497 lol 👌
@@mrsprimetimeaquatics5497 you guys are soo creative and nice people!
Wow that looks amazing!! Just one question, how does your wood not float?
It is weighted down by the rocks right now. Also, boiling it can help it sink faster when you put it in the tank.
Came here after your pea puffer video because i saw you had an Aquatop tank so i checked it out and will be buying one, it has better dimensions than the AquaMaxx
Wow!! Love the tank and love the aquascaping. Where did you find this size tank?.
Hey Sharron - we got ours at Flip Aquatics, but they don't have any right now so I put an Amazon link in the description.
Thanks, I did go over to a Flip Aquatics and saw they were out. I appreciate the info.
JoAnna did a beautiful job scaping this tank. I have recently become interested in getting one of these tanks, I have the perfect spot for it. Is there any reason this wouldn't work well for growing out fry?
I use it for that sometimes!
@@PrimeTimeAquatics Thank you!
I think another thing that’s important along with your easy aqua skipping decisions, I live out in the middle of nowhere in Tennessee, I can’t get a lot of plants that I see and there are also naming problems, different places call the same plant different names and you can go in with the scientific name and they have no idea what you’re talking about if you’re speaking Latin or whatever or if he is a common name they may not know what you’re talking about because they call it something else and it’s very hard to get landscaping supplies out here. I am not a Petco or Petsmart person but that’s all I have and that an hour and 10 minutes away, I’ve got to go to hours before I get to another decent pet store and you can order some online but I like to pick out specific rocks and wood and when you order online you never really know what you’re going to get and most of the time to be honest you end up getting the leftover junk that nobody wants. Online is gotten a lot better with places like aquarium co-op but you’re still not able to go and look for yourself you’re pretty much just hoping you get something you like.
I like what you said about the filters also, I would definitely get one of the Small canisters with a heater already in it so you didn’t have to put much in the tank itself.
No fish stuff BUT I got slippers from my son, that I can go outside a rangle my dog. At an Oklahoma drizzling icy 32 degrees that's a awesome gift 😆
Well that's cool!
Cathy B That’s a perfect gift, as we must also trapes outside with the dogs in the wind and rain and cold! 🥳 Happy New Year!
I bought myself a Christmas present a 150 gallon tank for a fahaka puffer. I can't wait.
That's awesome!
Please tell me where you found this tank. I’ve been searching for a 30 inch long bookshelf aquarium! And how do crypts grow in sand... are you adding root tabs?
We do add root tabs to all our tanks with root-feeding plants. You can still find this tank on amazon from time to time - 12 gallon long, which is the 36" version. It gets really expensive though.
hi!! what canister filter would you guys recommend for this tank for a betta?
I don't have a specific brand I can recommend because the only small canister filters we used didn't work that well, but I would try to find something on Amazon that is rated at around 30gph-40gph for a betta. You may still have to put a sponge over the return to slow it down if the current is too strong for the betta.
I LOVE the shape of this tank. I need one in my life. If only I had a place to put it.
Also, CPDs are Galaxy Raspboras. Same fish. Danio margaritatus.
Dave's Aquariums you are correct, sir! Maybe just toss out your tv and there you go! 🙌
Mrs Prime Time Aquatics I doubt my family would agree to that ;-)
Hi! I am working on a new project and i will paint the back of my tank black and i have a wonderful piece of wood i acquired. I am debating on super blond/white sand like yours or black sand. ??? hard to choose. I was afraid that black sand + black back would look weird. What do you think?
Most of our tanks are black on black, but it really depends on what you want to put in it. If it's a fish with bright colors that won't muddy up, black can be a great background.
My CPDs looove it when the tank becomes a jungle with plants everywhere. In those conditions they breed like cray cray. I'd be curious to see if you get CPD babies in your sparse tank...
Now that would be awesome!
Very good size look not small nice aquascape
It's funny I was oogling this tank at my lfs. Love the tank and scape. I think I would make one a blackwater tank with Cardinals
That would be a sweet looking tank!
under gravel filter . run by air so its cheap and you get bubbles.
Woodsman Whitesmith yes, that would be tempting for me 😊
The tank turned out beautiful as usual Joanne does absolutely gorgeous work and I didn't know that you specialize in biology of fish. KG Tropicals said we should be getting advise from you. I do have a question for you if you don't mind I just got a tilapia fish that has not been eating much since I got him someone said that's what they do when the parameters are off could you tell me what is the best water peramiters for a white talapia it's actually white but I believe it's called red tilapia. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.
Glad you are here! : -) They usually eat just about everything once they get settled in. If he's not eating within a few days he may be sick. It can also take a while to get used to new food.
I got everything to set up my cherry shrimp breeding tank!!
Nice!
Hi guys. I know this might be a strange question but I was wondering if you knew what type of rock the spherical black rock with brown swirls is? I’m having an extra difficult time with an ID and even harder to source. It’s perfect for my vision. Thanks!
Awesome gift: 40 gallon with stand to make my Star Wars themed aquarium!
What?!?! That's going to be cool!
Prime Time Aquatics I’m going to post a picture of it on Michaels Fish Room Facebook page when it’s done (I have a Death Star and AT-AT + other surprises).
That is a great set of dimensions for a tank. Where did you find it?
My son's college only allows 10 gallon tanks and most of the water column is lost on his Neolamprologus multifasciatus. If asked nicely, I imagine that they would approve that 12 gallon with only 10 gallons of water. :)
We got it at Flip Aquatics, but I don't think they are stocking them right now.
James Green We got this one from Flip Aquatics but I don’t think he still stocks them otherwise I’d have more. 😂Good luck with the college tank. Tag us if you post a pic (and get it thru the regime) 😆
Hahah low-key I dig ur calico beard brother
Ya, it kinda does it's own thing. : -)
Zebra danios would look great in that tank as well.
sorry i was just interested in seeing a review on the low iron aqumax long tanks. and you do a good job on your videos.
THIS...this is the absolute perfect size and shape tank for me, for breeding shrimp. I have it on my bucket list x 6 for my mad mad shrimp breeding project that exists in my head, lol.
Santa brought the aquatic critters food and food treats, and the doggies got new toys and doggie cookies and treats. And Santa left me a gift card to Amazon so I can pick whatever I like. Haven't used it yet...hmmm.
👍💕👍
Sounds like you had a great Christmas! : -)
