Both scapes are beautiful but man, the highline is looking crazy good. I'd say the best it's ever looked! Also love this type of vlog, so chilled but engaging, visually appealing and informative.
Love the direction your going @George, really relaxed set ups, and the black background looks great, everything pops nicely. If your ever near Crawley area pop into the fish barn, great family shop
I really like the little tank, and the fish are beautiful! It was so interesting to hear you guys just chatting. But it is hard to focus on anything when your big tank is in the frame, it is just so absolutely stunning!
Both tanks are stunning! Love the biotope and think I’m going to try the octopus in my non co2 scape! Love the look! Keep up the great content George and hope all is well!
Wow! What a great video. Nothing better than listening to guys ramble about amazing fish choices! I’ve just started work on collecting fish for a rarer tetra tank which will feature the blueberry tetras and the orange Bolivian lemon tetra and black line tetra. Thinking about getting some watermelon tetras as well. Also working on a rainbowfish aquascape as they are my favourite fish family of all time, so far have collected Melanotaenia trificiatus “blyth river” Melanotaenia sahulensis “skull creek” Melanotaenia bosemanii “lake Aytinjo” Will be building more in my collection and start work on the new aquascapes soon! This video has really inspired me to try some new things out so thank you both!
That's amazing! I have a wild type tank for my betta, 6 gallon. I'd suggest if you want apongeton in a small tank, get a THICK layer of substrate! My apongetons have overgrown and my betta has his own little forest XD
Maidenhead Huntingdon is the store I use. It’s very good too hear that they are good at keeping fish healthy never personally had issues with health before
I learned something new that I'd like you to elaborate on. Adding fish straight away to a tank running c02 is not ideal? How long should it be off before adding new fish?
Hello, just wondering what those marvellous pink/green "swords" at the back of your tank are and how you maintain them to get the stunning colours? Thank you.
Honest question: why do so many people still use Microsorum as the genus name for Java Ferns? Is it just an "old habits die hard" thing or worry that people won't understand, etc? My understanding is that the reclassification to the Leptochilus genus was pretty well accepted, at least for L. pteropus. I understand that there's still a fair bit of discussion on some of the other species
Will be hard to find vines and wood like this so I think maybe adding Manzanita branchy piece would be nice :) I'll give it a try but in oase styleline 85 🤞🤞🤞

This is a lovely relaxed video. I am looking forward to Tai’s book. Thank you!
Great video George! Love the two scapes and their unique differences! Very interesting background on the new addition!
Those echinodorus look so good! Looking forward for biotope updates.
George, you need to do a daily vlog. No pressure :) I just want more videos like this from you. They make my day better.
Another stunning example of blending live plants and botanicals! Love to listen in to your fish geek chats ❤️
Stunning tank, I’m super drawn to this. What a work to go out on👏

Lovely tank and really lovely raimbowfish in there...they display great behaviour when in a big group like this

Those swords in the 400 are just stunning
Cheers!
hey George great work thank you , one question though, can i use olive wood in the aquarium for aquascape ,thanks again keep teaching us
Beautiful aquarium
Hey George, Keep up the great work! are you and your other half planning on doing pod casts again?
very nice. The werneri are beautifull in this new tank. Congratulations.
Well done guys. I really enjoyed this video. Great theme!
Awesome scapes!
Hi, just wondering what the red fin blue body tetra's are called?

Hello, just wondering what those marvellous pink/green "swords" at the back of your tank are and how you maintain them to get the stunning colours? Thank you.
Echinodorus (red flame, red diamond, hormanii red, ozelot green)
congrats on 200k!!!!
The nature aquarium is stunning. But I think the biotope is my favourite. There is something about it that really moves me and cools my mind.

George, Is it possible to get the OASE Highline aquariums in the United States?
Very nice Tai!!
Another great scape and quality vlog.
Many thanks!
In Manitoba Canada thread fins retail between 17 and 25 CDN.
Your OASE Highline 400 is incredibly beautiful.
Beautiful aquariums. Just a note, the caudal fin is the tail fin. The bright orange fin on the Bolivian Orange Lemon tetra is the anal fin.
Thank you!
Gooo Gooooo See my goldfish soon!
Biotope looks sooo dope!
Will be hard to find vines and wood like this so I think maybe adding Manzanita branchy piece would be nice :) I'll give it a try but in oase styleline 85 🤞🤞🤞
Love that tank
What plant is that in the big tank? The big big centre one. Looks amazing 🤩
Echinodorus / Amazon sword
Hope one day I will build this in my home.
breath taking scapes you two!
Naturescapes could not be less natural looking if they had neon gravel for substrate.
For the biotope tank...i think the warm white backlighting is too bright...it may cause stress to the eyes of the fish...
what type of wood do you use in the highline 400?
XXL bogwood
love threadfins way better than the flag fish. Having owned both, I hope GF keeps this set up going for a while
George to Tai “what do you think of this scape?” Tai “It’s crap” 😂😂 perfect delivery Tai! Had me literally cracking up!
😂
Biotop is the Best
Lampeye!!?!?!!!??!?!
Hey george, what happened to your instagram account?
I deleted it.
