I Made A SAND WATERFALL for my TIGER BARBS

- I made an underwater waterfall for my new tiger barbs. This tank was a lot of work but I think the end product was worth it! I use a timer to have the waterfall run a few hours a day during my morning coffee and evening relax.

This week, I made a SAND WATERFALL. What do you think? These tiger barbs are truly incredible fish. They should be kept in schools and ideally in a species only tank as they can be aggressive towards other fish. They can also grow quite large (2-3 inches), so plan ahead for a larger tank upgrade! Happy to answer all your questions below ☺
That's awesome. I love having my fish tanks. Great channel and thanks for some new ideas.
You're very talented. This videos are great 👍🏼
That tank is too small for them
tank size please, I would like to recreate it
Really would suggest a more stationary or vertical swimming fish like a single Amazon/figure8 puffer, or a single discus/angel. They would be fine in there.
You are making cool projects but you have to learn some more about fishes, this tank is too small for tiger barbs.
Yeah Perfect for Betta
I’m getting tiger barbs later today so I’m very happy I know how to do this
Please don’t get them such a small tank and if you do don’t permanently use it
How do you keep the sand flowing into the bottom of the pump intake?
how many typs of fish do you have?
Dislike for tank size. You say in the pinned comment that "hey can also grow quite large (2-3 inches), so plan ahead for a larger tank upgrade! " but 1: that tank is way too small for them at current size, especially as it's a tall tank, and 2: never EVER buy a fish that you don't have an appropriate tanks size for NOW. That's bad fish keeping. You can have a "grow out tank" just as long as you have a tank suitable for the fish when they grow up. Way too many fish end up living shortened, stunted lives and way too small tanks because people "forget" to upgrade, or suddenly it's "too expensive" or they "don't have the room". Do better.
Barbs need much more horizontal swimming room, they don't use vertical swimming space as much as horizontal
Edit: wow this really blew up, I'm glad so many people are for better fish care!!!
Very true. Most fish prefer longer tanks
@@apss5736 yea
This tank is scaped for likes, not for the well-being of its inhabitants.
That tank is also big time overstocked lol
Yeah I was thinking the same throughout the video. I doubt they stay in their tanks for long though as this channel is built around tank design and is aliened with aquarium co-op. I'd imagine that after each of these videos these tanks are taken apart and repurposed for a new video. Even if this is the case though, it still does put a bad impression on new fish owners who may do a similar thing.
Beatufiul setup but the tank seems a bit narrow for the fish, I think they prefer more lenght ? maybe it is just an illusion due to the tank dimension tho
I've noticed this site just sets up a tank to make a video, I've seen
multiple videos with the use of the same tanks from previous videos,
they will never show updates because these tanks are never kept after
the video is made if you notice the tanks are always setup on the same
table once a tank is full of water you can't move it you have to empty
it first, you are all being used for views just to make money!!!
Yeah. It’s just for content. This particular sand fall gimmick is not sustainable.
They need to be in a bigger tank, even at that size. You need to up the size of the tank before they grow, not as they grow. This is how you get fish with stunted growth and other health problems. That tank would be okay for cherry shrimp or smaller fish, but not barbs.
@@invaderjoshua6280 size will stunt growth. I just googled it. And barbs like long tanks not tall.. and just because they are living doesn’t mean they are thriving .
@@invaderjoshua6280 just bc someone does something on UA-cam, doesn't mean its right. anyone can post, anyone can have an opinion. barbs do need more horizontal swimming room. I have kept exotics including fresh and salt tanks and I have kept barbs before. you can even tell from the way they are all swimming back and forth at a noticeably quick pace in the video. I love this tank design and you can tell she is knowledgeable on aquatics, I just think other species would suit the tank better. As for breeding, how does it make any sense to cramp and crowd your fish, that just sounds like the equivalent of a puppy mill for fish. more fish equals more room, so why would you want to keep all of them in smaller tanks, competing for more space? Or how about you? would you prefer to live in a bedroom, or a house? Obviously you're not gonna keep it in something huge where it can't find food, just a reasonably sized tank, so the fish can all grow normally....keep an Oscar in a 55 gallon and it won't grow past 12 inches cuz the fish can't turn around. so, its spinal structure becomes stunted from limited mobility...point and case. I know breeders who breed their fish in appropriate tank size and still make tons of success. all in all life will go on whether its struggling or thriving but its up to us as humans with morality and conscience to make their existence as best as possible in our care. we have the power to let them thrive and as a way of giving back to the animal for profiting off of their literal existence, isn't it only fair to care for them as best as possible?
@@invaderjoshua6280 You can keep an animal alive under less than ideal conditions or you can let them live and thrive in the best environment possible. My niece kept a beta alive in a 1/2 gal bowl. That fish was not thriving.
@@TheVTRainMan I had a fish inside a jar, with no filter. On my windowsill. For 3 years. It ate random bugs that got caught in the jar, or bugs I found and threw in there. Sometimes I took some of the water out with a syringe, just to clean the bottom. Then filled more water. For 3 years. Fish are sturdier than you think
@@jamesbizs yea… and some times crazy people chain their kids to beds and/or lock them in rooms for their entire childhood. They are abused and nearly starved to death. But the kids survive, so you think that is ok?
Omg love it can you please do a fish room tour I would really love to see all of your amazing set ups
^ seconded!!

@@mikesbigtank6015 well, it’s UA-cam. You can see some tanks in the background of her videos.
@@mikesbigtank6015 I noticed that too
Great idea
It’s beautiful ! But I think it’s a bit small for barbs… make it many a bit more wide and also the waterfall is nice but won’t it stress the barbs?
Not really stressful it’s more natural then no flow or anything, in real life stuff would fall into the water all the time
@@trikelikesfish you have any idea how the enviroment is where they are from? Because its exactly the contrary of what you Just said
Pet tubers have a responsibility to promote proper husbandry techniques and you have failed... A disclaimer that "you'll need a bigger tank in the future" is a dangerous cop out, as most people wont bother with the bigger tank. As other commenters have already stated your tank is too small for the amount of tiger barbs you have added as well as too small for tiger barbs in general. These are living creatures, not props for your videos.
We've succeeded in building a habitat that is not ideal for its inhabitants, wooo!
tiger barbs need more living space than that. they need minimum of 80cm long tank
Best to buy the correct size tank for your fish- I know you said you plan to upgrade but keeping them in a tiny tank for any length of time risks stunting them plus I don’t think it is giving the best info for your viewers. Cool waterfall though!
I had a tank full of green tiger barbs. When I was at the aquarium picking them out there was one of the green Tiger barbs in the orange Barb tank I got 8 out of the green Barb tank and asked to also have the Green Barb that was in the orange tank as well. I named him party hard. One day I came home from work and I counted all my fish and noticed Party hard was missing. A week later I found party hard hidden underneath my bed. RIP party hard you went out doing what you loved the most jumping out of tanks. Moral of the story. Get a lid if you have barbs so they don’t end up like party hard.
Yeap they jump quite often , having 2 aquariums next to each other , one yeeted "thankfully" in the next aquarium when I forgot the lids doing maintenance the other aquarium had a betta he got chased quite a bit before I noticed and well he got out of the mess without a scratch , one lucky fellow lol.
@@papascrumpeeh yeet is a stupid word, but I’m pretty sure even that stupid word, isn’t used to describe someone doing something to themselves. You can’t yeet yourself.
@@jamesbizs you can if ur not a coward
@@jamesbizs does it really matter?
PEOPLE MAKE SURE YOU RESEARCH THE NEEDS AND ADULT SIZE OF THE FISH BEFORE ADDING THEM TO AN AQUARIUM.
PEOPLE MAKE SURE TO TURN CAPS LOCK OFF BEFORE TYPING
@@jamesbizs 🤣🤣
Looks really nice.. My only concern is wouldn't these sands actually stress out the fish?
I would be more concerned about tank length than the sands falling. It’s kind of just falling against the hardscape so of there was issue they would been running into the rocks anyways.
How does the pump set up work? You went into more depth about the pvc pipe and cement than the design 😂
I love this project❤
Great concept, looks great. But once it’s mature and the sand is no longer white, the whole set up isn’t looking so pristine….you’re looking at breaking down and setting up every couple of month, tops. Which is not ideal, right?. Just my thoughts.
Can you build for me...
I like your aquaescape,amazing...
Your tank is truly amazing but the tank needs to be bigger for 12 tiger barbs
I love your vids bec the vid are only 3 minutos and others Last 20 minutos that is to much
A few years ago I had a tank with 8 tiger barbs and 4 rainbow sharks with 2 sucker fish. I also had a tank with a betta fish
you need a long set up that tanks to small these fish are fast moving and want a Lot of space this is crual.
I literally thought she meant a real tiger that’s named barbs I’m like whattttt
Very nice, but that's waaaaay not enough space for them
Pretty but not appropriate for tigerbarbs this tank.
Jim thanks love you ❤️😽❤️
are you able to put tiger barbs with Bala sharks
The waterfall is so cool
Looks great, very original. Did you use a venturi effect to get the sand drawn into the pipe? Would be good to see the plumbing in more detail.
I Love how creative this is!
Those barbs need more room to swim
She said in the comments that she'll upgrade them when they get larger. I understand you concerns tho
@@apss5736 next time she should do an actual permanent tank and not a decoration
@@apss5736 they need a bigger tank now, not when they get bigger. They’re already too big for this tank.
Yeah I agree. Most of these scapes only last a few weeks before they are changed. 30 gallons is the tank size I would recommend
I know. I'm just saying what she said in the comments section. I think stocking choices could be better and that it's rather tall. These fish are very young and can reach three inches so I seriously doubt this is a long term tank
The tank looks great but the stalking is horrible tiger barbs need alot of spase and they don't like vertical set ups you should fill it maybe with a beta or pea puffer
Nice idea! Is the waterfall still running? How does it work after some time? Is it affected by algae or dirt? Thank you
Sometimes tiger barbs
are electric green
How many types of fish do you have
I think the plants won't stay life in there, coz they don't get nutrition
BRUH HOW ARE YOU SOO CREATIVE?!
I love your fish tanks
I just love your axlotels!

*turns on sandfall*
that one fish: *looks up* WAIT WHAT DA- *gets crushed by sand*
It's amazing how fast tiger barbs grow... once I had a big tiger barb, and bought a group of smaller barbs about a third of the size, and when I put them together the smaller ones grew to the same size as the big one in a very short period of time, I had the same thing happen with gold barbs but I had 6 small gold barbs and every time I went to my LFS there was a huge gold barb that was there for months and no one bought him so was like ok ill take him, I introduced them into a 55 gallon tank and in no time the small ones caught right up to the bigger one... with good nutrition ofcourse I feed all my fish a wide variety of foods... not only that but the gold barbs then started showing beautiful red coloration in the males and I kept them for years.. today my friend still has them there probably maxed out in size... gold barbs are a great fish to keep in groups and there adorable!
Ok I’m just going to say that Betta looks like the one I have (he is a half moon dumbo, I think) we had him for a class pet but then no one in my class wanted him except for me so I ended up taking him home.
How many tanks do you own?
If you had a business of this,
my grandpa loves fish,
If he was still alive I'm sure he would want to be in that business lol
More like a sand fall!
Thats a Lot to tiny !
Poor fish!!! 🤨👎🏽
U put fish to fresh water ?! 😱
You want them on land
Alright who’s counting every fish she owns and every tank she’s made 😩
I Just explore Captain Marvel activities beside becoming Avenger and cosmic keeper. An Aquarium designer
This is amazing
Are you a short channel if not what you did after 1:09 ??? Some people see yours video just to learn hope you know it..Including me..Anyway your channel your content your call...
Ma'am I can make a water fall aquarium.
So I need some help about this project.
Can you help me?
Please
I have a question Aquarium Info! If you know this type of fish called Asian arowana? My dad has been keeping it for a while now so can you give me some tips on it? Thanks!
You have some of the best builds on FishTube hands down. And the shots are phenomenal but I (personally) hate the intense tik tok noises edited in. Im sure there is a great reason for them but to me It makes the video harder to enjoy or learn from. Distracting af. But my opinion is only mine, Please keep up your hard work.
They need bigger tank, sand will build up in one spot, chance of particles getting caught in their gills are high. You not caring about fish welfare, you care about aesthetics, camera angles, and views.
How on earth do you make an aquarium pump transport sand. This just doesn´t make any sense at all. The wet sand will sooner or later clog and/or break the pump. I will sooner or later create a pit-like structure around the pump intake. Just...no.
people ask her " are you a cat person or a dog person ?" she says i am a marin person 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everything looks good but just .are sure that when you cycle the tank you put beneficial bacteria in the water along with some shrimp or snails to jump start it. Just pouring in the water and waiting 2-3 weeks is not good enught. I love the design but make sure that the barbs don't get hurt by the sand.
Water rushing out of sand inlet, 😢 ,what could be problem? Kindly help
I have the same kind of sandfall in my tank! Dust is definitely an issue early on but it's beautiful for sure
My tiger barb stomach got super big and finding difficult to eat and rarely comes out of its hiding spot but shows no sign of dying. Its been like that for a month. Any advice?
Ok after you explained the PVC you lost the crowd, you need to explain what that machine was and why you put it in and how. It moves the sand. Please work on this
Different design, interesting. Congrats!
I have like five live plants in my fish aquarium and I have five fish my three Cory cats and my two blackamoors they love it in there I’m so happy for them
Man This has a good flow but pls change your editor cause the sound are really fake which removes the flow.
When you get put into a small one-room apartment with around 10 other people and gravel keeps falling from the sky onto your head with not much room to escape because the other people are in the way: 🐟
Try to make aquarium for channa auranti fish greeting from indonesia.🇮🇩
That’s too small for tiger barbs. They like a longer tank so they have more space to school. A tank of at least 20 gallons is good enough.
Random idea in my mind- but you should do a collab with Fish4ever :)
Maybe Tetras would be better than Barbs? The tank size would suit them more
You make it look so easy but I know this takes some serious talent. Your work is beautiful. You have easily become my favorite UA-cam channel that creates aquariums. Straight to point and showing the entire process while explaining things. Thank you so much!
I wouldn't draw inspiration from this video. Simply because barbs need much more room than what she had supplied them with but also because her other videos feature designs that can be harmful such as sharp edges in the axolotl tank
Bro stop simping man.
it not that hard
Your so cute 😍 and your fish are beautiful.
I like your videos so much that I even went to do a FaceTime but my my face keep dying
You must be rich bc just for a heater a filter a tank and a lid is 250$ rip your money
I have a fish but I don't have the money for a big tank and I feel bad for my fish cuz its cramed in a small space
I like your videos and all but it looks like you’re spending more money on your fish than yourself
Actually this rare tiger barbs are common in every aquarium store in south india
Cool look but long term now does this perform ? Sand will accumulate on the wall.
i used to have alot of tiger barbs i mean like alot lot, and 1 day 1 of them started picking on the others so we seperated him and then we took him back, but now the other fishes started picking on him so hard that he died, after he died the other fishes was kinda stressed cuz he wasn't there idk why but because of the stress they all died.
Tell me u like fishes without telling me u like fishes(not in a mean way I love your vids❤)
I realized a grammar mistake 💀it’s supposed to be tiger barbs’ because there are many of them
Or the japanese Seiryu is actully called Japanese Dragon Stone
Would have loved to watch actual process of making fountain which u did not show
I have tiger barbs but they died cuz some of the other fish friends ate him cuz I was to late to feed them R.I.P
Hello !
Love the way you did a funny concept but still manage to get a very nice natural style aquarium.
The video editing is very entertaining !
I just have some doubt with the stocking of this tank. If I remember correctly, theses fishes prefer lengthy aquarium because they are made to swim fast. (Judging by the kind of fins they have)
Maybe some guppies or killifish would have been better ? I’m not sure, maybe some more experienced fish keepers could help here.
(I’m used to keep tank with almost no fish in haha)
Cheers !
Typical woman steeling ideas she sees online that look pretty but not spending time learning the basics.
Cool build, but I’m pretty sure the sand would run out without a reservoir.
This is a beautiful setup but you should get these guys a more horizontal tank
you look beatiful without makeup because some youtubes were heavy makeup
Please make big acquarium for fish 🐟 to swim minimum of 5 feet by 3 feet
No hate in this comment and all but the tiger barbs need a bit more space on the sides it’s not a suitable for them the size and shape is not a good tank for them.
All I see is a miserable tank for tiger barbs to live in but who cares you got some views/likes right?
I hate little Tigger barbs like those because their to playful so playful that the beat up my molly fishes babies that harassed other baby fish but big Tigger barbs are calm
Could you imagine now washing sand gravel lol 😂 how long it would take to clear up
