  • @MaiCohWolf
    @MaiCohWolf Před 9 lety +38

    Beautiful tank but I would definitely have to create a custom lid for it to prevent any jumpers. I know aquariums are meant to be beautiful, but for me, those fish are my pets. If I'm gonna put them in a tank in my house, I'm gonna make sure they're safe.

    • @wingedstring
      @wingedstring Před 8 lety +2

      +MaiCohWolf I understand you! But for some of us, open tanks are beautiful(Takashi Amano style for some).
      And this fishes don´t really jumo that much, fishes like mollies, hatchetfish, orientals, arowanas ect. tend to jump a lot. 5 of my 7 tanks, have no lit, and I have planted, shrimps, guppies, corys, cichlids, betta ect. amd over years, I 've had no jumpers.

    • @MaiCohWolf
      @MaiCohWolf Před 8 lety

      +wingedstring you've been a very lucky fishkeeper then. i've kept fish for many years and i've had open tanks too, but after all the jumpers i've had i decided to get some kind of lid so my fish wouldn't keep dying. the one i have now is frosted and has a hole in the center so you can see the water moving, but it covers enough surface area that the fish can't really jump out. also the lid is sloped inward so that if the fish did jump out, they'd land on the lid and slide right back into the water. it's pretty, with minimal risk factor.

    • @wingedstring
      @wingedstring Před 8 lety +2

      it happens, that depends on the type of fish, it´s nature, the water level, the stress and movement around the tank and many other things. Some custom glass piece looks very nice and natural in any tank as a lid :)!

    This is the type of aquarium I've always wanted since I was a kid but was limited to bargain store items: gravel, plastic plants, bad filters. I would try again using these techniques but sadly my tiny studio apt isn't really equipped to have something like this, even a nano. But I really enjoy watching videos of them and particularly like TGM's because they're not as garish as others.

    I like the idea of showing what can be done with nano tanks, I think more should be done. :)
    And since I have wild-caught fish and am looking for new tank inspiration, I think I'll suggest you try a creek setup with large stones as substrate and a tree trunk as a central decoration. It would be interesting to see how that could turn out. :)

      Victor Fries i guess Takashi Amano ( the guy who revamped the aquascaping hobby) isnt a professional then.
      People like Tom Barr, George Farmer, Mark Evans etc are just random salesmen that only want money. Same for the people who regularly enter competitions like IAPLC, EAPLC and AGA. i guess they are just salesman and have no profession in aquascaping.
