E.J. Thanks for the comment and the subscription as well. I appreciate the support of my small channel. I've seen a few people using potting soil as the nutrient layer but I've never tried it myself. Everything I've heard is that you have to have a thick layer to cap the nutrients and keep it out of the water column. The guppy tank was my first real attempt at aquascape with live plants so I'm glad you like it.

Thanks man. Hope you are doing well out west there.

little further west than I want to be at the moment lol but hoping to be back in Washington soon

I hope wherever that is you're staying safe man.

Thank you

Possibly is after looking it up. Thanks

@@aquascapingbyagnes Thank you!

Thank you!

@allisongasparini7602 The English bit is a just a little joke. I was having trouble with getting my thoughts out that day when I was recording. No audio manipulation on it, I've always spoken softly.

@allisongasparini7602 That is a work in progress, everything is all in one at the moment for recording including the microphone. I need to remember to stay closer to the built in microphone. I do appreciate the criticism though, that's how we get better at it. 🙂

I do want to use dragon stone in a future setup but with different fish. I can't find any local driftwood anywhere near me. I hesitate ordering it without seeing the pieces. Love the ideas though!

Thank you!

Surprised me with starting with only 2

More than I thought it would

Thank you! I try to keep up with the plants and water changes.

Seems like it is well designed, too.

That's Winston, he pops up in the videos from time to time and has his own channel too

I just used the top pot to help me create the waterfall effect I was going for, no soil. Lily and water lettuce have done great. Glad I could help with a few ideas!

It is a pretty small bowl, so I haven't added anything in the way of livestock to it. You might have seen a few stray leaves of the rotala h'ra floating around that came off while planting. I'm open to suggestions on size appropriate stocking of it though!

Yes, and I do have a plan for something bigger/better so don't forget to subscribe to see it once I have everything sourced for it!

It provides beneficial nutrients to the plants for growth and it also has other benefits like helping the water be a little softer

@@blairgardiner6930 , very helpful to the tank.

I think so too!

The tanks it's too small

The store had him living in 1 cup of water, he has a lot more room to swim than it looks as well in there.

Thanks!

I do have a build video for this tank if you would like to see how it started out. ua-cam.com/video/pzb8M2RO4Po/v-deo.html

I used a $26 tripod with a phone attachment for my S22 Ultra with a solar filter

Looks a lot fuller than when I first planted it and it looked almost empty

I've got plenty of plants to spare now that I did a trim on the guppy tank

Best coffee out there as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for subscribing too!

Yeah, that is my plan as well. I just thought I would see what others thought they might try and scape in such little spaces.

Yes, you are right they do. This tank was done for someone else and I was working with what they wanted specifically though.

@@blairgardiner6930 last year I got a 3g rimless cube I was doing partial water changes 2 x aweek. I then bought a6 gallon cube and now doing water changes once a week. Easier to siphon too.

I've got 2 5 gallons, a small 1 gallon that I use mostly for plants and a 55 gallon. I have 3 10 gallon and a 20 gallon in storage as well but no real room for them, yet. I know what you mean about the bigger tanks with cleaning plus there is more you can do with them too.

@@blairgardiner6930 I have a 55, 6,5.5 and 10 gallons set up. My garage is full of many empty various si ze tanks that no longer use. Often thought of setting one up for plants only, good idea.

Got the idea from watching MDfishtanks so I can't take credit for it. Local shops don't have many plants though so when I can get something I needed a place for it even if I wasn't ready to use it just yet.

Thank you for the kind words, I wasn't sure about doing a video like this as my channel is pretty small/new. As for Francis, a turtle was never part of my plan either, but he couldn't stay where he was without dying and in my area, they are illegal for shops to have/sell.

The goal is definitely to have more plants but to show how to get that full look on a small budget. That first video has $30 in plants from my local store. As the stem plants grow, you can trim and replant the trimmings. I'll be showing some of that in the next video since I didn't in this one.

@@blairgardiner6930 wait... Are those live plants?

Yep, everything in there is alive. The dwarf hair grass in the front isn't doing the best and you can hardly see it now. The next one back is rotala h'ra and the one behind it is cardinalis. The rotala and cardinalis i can trim and replant for a much fuller look and the hair grass (if it comes back) will look like a lawn in the front that I'll have to trim.

@@blairgardiner6930 honestly, good for you!! Live plant aquariums are hard, and yours is small so it's even harder. I have no advice, simply admiration. Good job, I'm subbed now so I'll keep watching how it goes, best of luck, but you won't need luck if you study up! Cheers!

I had almost 2 hours of stuff recorded for this video prior to editing. Not counting pre planning haha.

@@blairgardiner6930 all that means, is you love your guppies, and you're proud of what you do. #respect.

Enjoyable video, Thanks 💙
