► On the 25th of January 2020, I performed a live aquascaping demo at the ScapersLounge in Hanau, Germany. The event was in the German language, but I have recorded the entire creation process for you and in this video, I will give you a brief summary of a 4-5h event.

I have started with an empty 120x50x50cm clear glass aquarium. As hardscape material, I have used pre-glued minilandscape rocks. They are sold locally as China-Mountains. Some kind of Rock pyramids available in different sizes with a flat base making it easy to position them inside the aquarium.
I have used the same rocks before for the #dentistaquarium which was inspired by Takashi Amano Unzan Stones that he first used in the ADA Nature Aquarium Gallery and later in the Sumida Aquarium 7m long Iwagumi.
However, the layout I created at the ScapersLounge is different. It is more diorama style or maybe Penjing because I don't have carpeting plants and only used epiphytic plants. (Plantlist below)
To achieve the dense look one has either to break the pyramid structure or order "damaged" rocks (like I did) to save some cost and also recycle the units that have been damaged in transport.
I have arranged approximately 100+ kg of these rocks in diagonal lines rising from front to back and balanced the composition with several small pieces around the base.
A layer of cosmetic sand has been added to the layout before the final touches with the smallest rock pieces were added to finalize the hardscape.
Using the China-Mountain Rocks really makes it easy to build an impressive Diorama Style Rock layout with a lot of height. The largest rock is sticking 10cm above the water surface!
I started planting by wedging portions of Montecarlo in deeper cracks and gaps between the rocks. Montecarlo is not going to attach by itself to the rocks, so you have to choose the positions wisely and make sure the plant sits securely. Next, I have cleaned Anubias petite and Bucephalandra sp. 'Red' from rockwool and stuck them in between stones close to the ground as well as glued some to strategic positions. I tried to create a green base around the base of the rocks with Anubias and to have some Bucephalandra highlights around the lower mid of the rocks. Next, some Moss has been glued on rocks and positioned randomly around the rocks. Again, since we don't have a carpeting plant here, I wanted at least to have some sort of green base around the stones. Finally, Hygrophila pinnatifida has been attached to the rocks. I recommend using the tissue culture (invitro, 1-2-grow) version of this plant as it is compact and already has a branchy structure that makes it easy to be stuck between rocks or be super-glued to rocks. Actually, there is no right or wrong when applying pinnatifida. In the end, It is going to fully cover the rocks. So simply make sure to spread it evenly all around the rocks to speed up the process.

Like and Comment what fish you would add to this layouts?
Jurijs Jutjajevs , I would like to see South American “green neon tetra” (Paracheirodon simulans) in that tank. The colouring of the fish could compliment your scape. The schooling behaviour of the fish would add to the tranquility of your creation. My second choice would be Green Kubotai Rasbora.
I suggest Pseudomugil furcatus.
They are very active, stay small and they are different than usual suspects...
You think outside the box so the fish have to be also spectacular.
I like harligween rasbura 👍
Threadfin Rainbow would be nice here. Where can I get rock like that ???
white cloud minnows to match the theme of the tank
This is really one of my favourite scapes of all time
thanks Harry, what makes it your favorite?
@@JurijsJutjajevs Well, CZcams land - once you begin following aquascaping, contains some incredible scapes. Looking through the current work of the top scapers, it feels like you guys are all up there. So to see this scape, which just feels different - it just feels like it has a deeper sense of scale and depth, was just a breath of fresh air. The fact you didnt even know what style it was, or how to really describe the style, also adds credence to the fact it is so original. I realise there was no carpeting and just a fine selection of beautifully placed epiphyte plants, which I think makes it even more special. I think the fact of it lacks carpeting plants gives it more scale. The selection of rocks is brilliant, the mini landscaping rocks giving the huge rocks scale. It looks aggressive and menacing one moment, then majestic and serene the next. Ive spent a long time just looking at this scape! Its brilliant, well done :) Thanks for sharing.
For me one of my favourite. Probably i am gonna build the similar style next time.
Nice one bro.
Can't wait for the update video.
Beautiful tank!
Nice beats!
So much joy watching this video.
Thank you very much for the inspiration!
you welcome, soon I will record update
what a scape.. in love with the rock work.
Wonderful hardscape!
Just wonderful! I would add shrimp 🦐
Some Amano shrimps and Clithon Corona must be meanwhile inside the scape
Ich liebe das scape so war so toll es live mit erlebt zu haben😝😍
Hey ja, das live event war Hammer. Danke dass du da warst!
@@JurijsJutjajevs und wie ich hab zu danken 🤗 freue mich auch schon auf denn 14.3 auch wenn englisch sprechen noch immer nicht mein fall ist 😂
Am 14.3 lernst du es 😉
@@JurijsJutjajevs reicht es nicht das ich es verstehe🤣🙇♀️
I love all your work 💞👌
Epigumi style! Lovely scape once again 💚
Even though these China rocks appear a bit kitschy when be seen in person - especially the ones with the little plastic plants on them - this layout proves that they are actually really impressive, when they're placed properly.
Turned out pretty nice 👏🏻
We should consider another visit of the scapers longe in the future 🤔
Hey guys 👋 thanks for watching! Really enjoying your recent content, keep up the good work! Maybe we can collaborate in the near future 😉
Great video! Love the aquascape! Hardscape setup is awesome! Thank for the video!
Cheers Mike, I hope to see it grown in soon
Awesome scape! My choice of fish would be Black Emperor or Black Neon Tetras 😉
Nice video as usual. Full of tips I was looking for and last but not the list awesome scape.👍👍👍
thanks for watching and feedback 😀
Hi Jurijs,stunning looking rock formation simple but very effective, love the subtle planting . Great to se a follow up video with hygrophylia maturing and filling out . All the best, Martin
Thanks Martin, I hope to be able to record an update on it very soon
There is always something to learn. Beautiful Tank. Thanks Jurijs...
Waoo
Awesome Aquascaping 😍
Looks rad!
Hi Jurijs, such a bold scape , I love it.
When grown it, it will be even better
Wow so simple but looks amazing!!
Man, I Love this Layout. Such a beautiful and calming aquascape.
You really have such a great talent of making these outstanding scapes. 👍🏼
Thank you, I’m looking forward to see fully grown in
@@JurijsJutjajevs yeah, that would look FABULOUS 👌🏼
This is so nice, Jurijs. I like that you used a minimal selection of plants, which really is in keeping with what might be a natural habitat that a human might walk into...especially where I live in the desert. I think a fish like the Black Phantom Tetra would be lovely in this aquarium. High quality species have beautiful, high dorsal fins that curve back toward the spine when mature, and the females have a lovely touch of red in their fins. Thank you for sharing this scape with us!
Great Aquascape tutorial
Great content! This kind of thing is exactly why I subscribe to the channel.
Great and inspirational. I am impressed 🙏
Thanks Pawel
Jurijs este montaje está bonito! Felicidades 👆
Very inspiring, I can't wait to see it grown in and also see the maintenance.
What a work of art. Simply amazing!
It's amazing scape, you are great my friend
Mahmoud edrees
Cheers mate, thanks for watching
@@JurijsJutjajevs Thank you also my friend, God bless you
I love this Scape. Can’t wait to see an update. Great job 👍
Black neon tetras jurijs would look good i think.👌🏼
Black neon tee-tra 😆
It's beautiful!
#notificationsquad !! 😃
awesome content
nice or awesome? 😜
Love you work and love to come to Germany to meat you n your team
Please let me know when will you next show back on.... I will fly over to see you 🤗
Bam!
Juri, very good job with stones! It's art. I like the original tank from mr. amano in Nigata. And you do this very well. The dentis tank too, even this one. Perfect job. And what kind of fish? Maybe Paracheirodon simulans? Green neon tetra. They are blue and stand out on background of red Higrophillas. If there are mountains in the tank, a large shoal of small fish like neon tetra will be like birds.
The hardscape is beautiful.
Great video as usual Jurijs👍I'm loving Pinnatifida at the minute Defintely on my list for next scape. Fish choice I would love to see Sawbwa resplendens (Asian Rummy Nose).
Thanks for the inspiration😊
Looks amazing ! I would put there Trichopsis pumila or microrasbora galaxy.
lovely choice 😉
Very nice scape Jurijs....I love Pinnatifida however in one of my aquariums is maybe something problematic because it melts quite. And I can imagine black neon tetra probably....with this type of stones they would be good choice for me.
Wooooow Love it and Great Name :)
Verry nice!, maybe you can put a group rasbora kubotai in that will be nice🤙
Another stunning aquascape, I look forward to a follow-up. I expect it would be too extravagant to assign a camera to film growth in slow motion; however with the right music and editing, that could be a majestic tranquil video.
Hyperlapse of this kind is very difficult and is best filmed in studio like environment
Jurijs Jutjajevs , Hmmmm ..... It seems that there might be a challenge in there for an unnamed Danish plant company to provide such a facility. I can see the commercials now, “Watch how our quality breed select plants grow like no other!” Someone should tell their Social Media Manager. Best wishes, Jim
@@jamesgreen9372 hehe, maybe someone can make it happen and sell them the idea and content .. 🙃
@@JurijsJutjajevs , "Sell them on content?"
Maybe someone should contact the "Content Creator" for some unnamed Danish plant company?
I am sure a fair minded Content Creator would approve. Only some rigid ex-military type with the personality of Churchill's British Bulldog might object.
Best wishes in aquatic videography,
jim
I just scaped a ‘mountain range’ with glimmer wood stone but it doesn’t look anywhere near as brilliant as this!
Glimmer wood is very linear, it’s great though for smaller aquariums
Jurijs Jutjajevs yeah this is a 20l aquarium so it’s perfect
I wonder if you could used crushed hematite for a metallic looking sand to imitate the river water's surface of Guilin, China? Maybe use some dwarf hair grass along the rock's bases.
I think it would mix up with the gravel
This is really a beautiful scape. It is kicking me a lot to scape similar to this...
I am going to scape Hygrophila Phinatifida - UK on big sized Black Lava Rocks.
Dentist scape!!! 😜😜😜nice scape, how about some rosy tetras?
I have neon tetras in my tank, however I also like cardinal tetras.
Ohh i love it. It is different. I was thinking of doing a scape with no plants in the substrate. All on wood or rocks. Actually today i grabbed a 'showpiece' piece of wood. Breathtaking and full of places to insert plants. When you use Monte Carlo like this, do you add a bit of soil in the crevasse or nothing? Again congrats. You are a true artist !! xx (i forgot to add: i would add a mini fish that is pale to contrast with the beauty of your creation)
No soil, only add the montecarlo into the gaps. In the original dentist Aquarium I have had very good success with this technique
Sieht richtig gut aus. Ich bin gespannt wie es nach ein paar Wochen aussieht. Wo bekommt man so schöne Steine?
Aquadeco (Großhandel) hat diese, frag einfach einen Händler bei dir in der Nähe ob er China-Berg für dich bestellen kann
nice content
Fish, all nano: Badis Badis or Dario dario, Choclate Gouramis, Honey gouramis, Nano Rasboras (chili, etc.), Danios, (Pearl, CPD, Leopard), Zebra Loaches, Kuhli Loaches.
These are some unusual fish choices 😃
Hummingbird tetras!
Very delicate fish. I once have had them many years ago. I think they are best for small and very lush planted aquariums. In a large and open tank like this, something larger and more robust might be better suitable
One lucky dentist
lucky patients
looks great ..add congo tetras
Шикарный аквариум! Хочу такой же 😭
Your aquascape's are so beautiful ❣️ nd your work is so professional man I like the way of your working 👌😍
I has question regarding of water parameters what you are using with ro water to get the parameters ... Thank you 😊
The rockscape looked great. I just wish you added 2 or 3 species of tanganyika rock dwellers and no plants. The plants don't seem to improve scape, at least at this stage.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the hardscape 😍 how do I get this ?! Loving the pro tips aswell you just got a new subscriber 👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks, we have this rocks sold in many shops. Ask your local one if they can order it for you or search online for it
Jurijs Jutjajevs what you sell it pre-built like that ? 👌🏻👍🏻
I had Pinnatifida growing healthy in a tank and suddenly it started to grow transparent and get holes in the leaves although my lighting/ferts didnt change. Rest of my plants grow fine
Schöne Arbeit, gefällt mir sehr gut. Habe gerade mein allererstes scape mit der dark start Methode am laufen und bin so unsicher was ich für Hintergrund Pflanzen nehmen soll kannst du mir das Tipps geben? Lg gerrit
Mach weiter so👍🏻👍🏻
I suggest you to add tetra ember or tetra neon green.
too late, red neons and Pinguin tetra have been added by the show owner, lets see how it goes
Very impressive!! How are your fertilization patterns with a scape like this with no soil and no fast growing plants? How is the lighting ?
Hi, really awesome tank! I would like to ask which type of sand do you use in this tank? Look similar like colorado... but is more natural I think.. Thanks :)
JBL Sansibar orange? Or JBL Sansibar river
@@JurijsJutjajevs thanks for answer!:)
over the period of time ... will the Monte carlo get attached to the rock ?
I would love to see Black Neon Tetras:). Where are those black gloves of yours? 😂
Right after the event I have restocked 😆
Great scape. I've been learning a lot from your channel - thank you. I have bought this type of rock two years ago and it was sold as mini landscape rock at my LFS in Toronto. When I researched online, apparently Japan had banned the export of seiryu rocks in the early 00s. Is there a difference? Mine does have a lot of the white veins and was blueish hue when first setup. Now it's a very dark grey like in this video. Either way I think it's a great rock to work with and it certainly not as expensive as what I've seen sold as seiryu online. Retail is $2.99/lbs CAD = € 0.64/ 0.45 kg
Seiryu is a trade name that has been used by ADA. I think its replaced as Ryuoh stone. Whatever, there are several different rocks on the market all looking kind of like Minilandscape. I have seen similar rocks my self in Austria Alp mountains and at the Gibraltar mountain. I guess there must be more locations around the world
@@JurijsJutjajevs if undecided on fish stock still I would suggest a bunch of German blue rams. Not typical fish that would be used for awesome setups but they are good with plants and are slow eaters. They stay small and very colourful too.
Hi Jurijs!!! One maybe naive question.... is/are there just one variety of Pinnatifida??? Thanks to let me know👍
answered in this video czcams.com/video/T9En7KpIzKE/video.html
Subtitulado en español podrá ser?? Gracias
I don’t speak Spain, sorry
How do you keep hygro pinnatifida shoots small? Also how do you get good colouration ?
🖒🐟🐠🍃☘
Hi Jurijs, question for you - how to prepare hygrophila pinnatifida for potted ones? they always come too big.. so where should i trim them before sticking them to my hardscape?
if they already have side shoots, trim above the side shoots and use the bottom part, you can also use the trimmings, just squeeze them somewhere inbetween the rocks. if they dont have side shoots yet, keep 2 pairs of leafs and cut the top, you can create several cuttings this way, basically stalks with 2-3 pairs of leafs can be used
@@JurijsJutjajevs thank you so much! ive been looking everywhere for this info ! appreciate it !
Anyone know where you can order this type of rock in the US?
Minilandscape rocks are widely available. However the glued version I don’t know
How difficult pinatifida? Im palnting ths plant seem very slow and take time to grow
For me it grows like cray! Do you have co2?
@@JurijsJutjajevs yup. Co2. How month this plant take to grow like cray after done planting?
If conditions are good, it grows very well straight from the beginning. You might try attaching it to Hardscape, instead of planting into the soil
Hey juris,
Is it possible to make a nearly long life aquascape for endler guppys ?
Sure, with right plant choice and good maintenance one can keep an aquascape for many many years. Best example is Takashi Amano private Aquarium in his house. I think it was build 2004 and its still the same layout.
@@JurijsJutjajevs thanks a lot
I still struggling with pinnatifida in my tank, I buy it emersed and cut with no root. I planted it on rock for 2 weeks. most of its leaves fall off and still no root or new leaf. some remaining leaves are changing into brown, is it still possible to adapt and survive?
I prefer invitro version. Try if you can
@@JurijsJutjajevs thank you, i ll try it once it fully melted
Hi, Did you dry start that set up?
No, filled with water the same day
Water parameters this tank?
schooling fish will be nice
Should be called a "bare mountain scape" 🙃
it is going to be fully covered with plans, only the ground will remain clean
Wow this is so beautifull it needs no fish. Style: just sign the aquarium. I think I could point it out to be a Jurijs Masterpiece.
thanks Ed, I have to give credit for this style arranging this specific rocks to Rui Alves from Aquaeden. This is were I saw this rocks been used for the first time and I have adjusted the idea to my needs
Hey Jurijs, I know English is obviously not your first language, but when you say the word "gel," you pronounce it with a hard 'G', but it is actually pronounced with a soft 'G' sound so the 'G' will sound like a 'J'. Pretend it is spelled like "Jel" instead of "Gel" :) basically it'll sound like "Jello" without the "O" at the end
Anyways, fantastic hardscape. I think it would look awesome with some rhinogobius species in there. They would look like little rock climbers climbing a mountain when they sit on the rocks.
Im sometimes pronouncing things the German way. Haha, will try to remember. Thank you
Jurijs Jutjajevs lol I didn’t realize that it was spelled the same in German and English🤦🏼♂️it all makes sense now.
did really covered up the rock by its own or you just cheated by adding more?
It grows like weed and has to be trimmed back regularly
@@JurijsJutjajevs weed? haha! thanks for your replies!
Please subtitel Indonesia
that would look awesome with some zebra danios, red crystal shrimp and and kuhli loaches. they would look very sexy together
Definitely cheating using pre-glued rocks.. Showing off someone else's hardwork.
This is a commercial product everyone can use, actually I share the technique how everyone can achieve this vertical look - because you say correct - someone else did the difficult work
