The "3 weeks later...." is such a good touch. It puts you a cut above the other UA-cam aquascape content creators. I still love MD but it's so appreciated.
Great stuff as always, MJ. I am so jealous of the quality of European fish shops, it is so hard to find anything like it here in the States. Those gouramis are beautiful, and a great choice for this aquarium. Take care.
This is so true. I've had really good luck with the online stores recommended by Aquarium Co-op. When I purchase honey gourami locally, they seem to "time out" for lack of a better term. So far, I've not had this problem with online purchases
@@mrfish.- Hi Mr. Fish, yes fishtube is my relax time. And I like to support these awesome creators in the little way that I can by leaving comments on the videos. Thanks for saying hello, Happy New Year!
I appreciated the insert with plant info in the video - great idea. I just stop the video and note the info if interested in the plant then carry on watching. Love this set up.
I laughed way too hard at the fish that wedged himself between the glass and plants. "You alright buddy" 😂He's just camera shy, and was trying to "look natural".
Literally just planted rotala orange juice today! Came across it at my LFS and hadn’t seen it anywhere else - until your video. So nice to see it in your tank. Yours are much taller and more colorful, which give me a good idea of what mine might look like. Thank yoy, MJ! Amazing scape as usual.
Awesome as usual! Really enjoyed the whole process of the rescape. I always learn something in every one of your videos and they’re so well done. Those gouramis look very happy with their new home!!
It might be 3 or more decades ago but I remember the original honey gourami before all these new color morphs came around, and I thought they were quite striking little fish. I don't think it's possible to get the original color variety anymore, which is a shame
I have a pair I absolutely love in my shallow tank, I’ve been so pleasantly surprised at how fun they are to interact with. How would you describe the coloration on the gourami’s 30 years ago?
@Matt Ferguson much more subtle. Dorsal was still yellow - but not as vivid as now. Throat on the male was still blue (a vivid blue when in breeding dress) body colouration was more muted - more brownish, but with a real honey tone to it. Hence the name. It just looked more 'natural'. The colour morphs are very pretty: if you want a showy fish that stands out from a distance despite its small size - this fish is a winner, for sure. I don't think it's possible to post pictures in here, but Google searches for 'original honey gourami colouration' will eventually pull pics up (amongst the dozens of pics of the new morphs.)
Stunning home for the new additions, you did a cracking job! Theyre beautiful too, it's such a lovely feeling getting new fish and watching them explore their new habitat
Ooh, colisa chuna... I love these fish so much. I did some aquascaping like 20 years ago and one of your videos popped up in my recommendations. Great to see that the work of Amano has greatly influenced the scene :D Your channel inspires me to make a tank with my kids next year. Take care.
its one of the better looking tank you have now, really like the calm front low ground, more swim space is always nicer, still think its overstocked though
I aways enjoy you video's. Your reshape is just wonderful. I just got a red honey & pearl gourami a month ago! They are such a great addition. Happy New Year!
Time to break out the 5 gallon mayonnaise tub. Love the scape MJ im going to try and emulate something similar. The dense java Fern is just so beautiful.
Great job MJ! Your tanks always look amazing! Thanks for sharing your techniques. I cannot learn enough and appreciate the information. I love the pop in color from the different types of fish in this scape. Looks fantastic! 😍
nice! i was actually planning to have honey gouramis on my tank as i'm currently suffering from hair/string algae and some green hydras and i've heard they like to feed on those.. really awesome scape as always! :)
Nice little rescape! I call it wet-rescape where you keep everything running and plants are reused as well. The new aquasoil and the ammonia cycle always gives me headaches. Dose the water a bit more if you need, but otherwise plants should be okay with old soil...
That's really nice. I like the gravels and the stones. Thank you. I got three Gourami Chuna (one male and two females) in my 60 liters. They're very nice fishes.
I know this was a while ago now, but do you still have the honey gouramis? They’re such fun fish - love their little feeler things. Their behavior is great for watching
Very nice I noticed you took out the red root floaters. Why did you decide to take them out I’m thinking about getting some and I’m wondering what was the reason for removing them.
Awesome looking tank. I'm going to add a pair of Honey Gourami's to my new tank. A question though is what did you use at the end of the hose when draining the water? Was it filter floss? I need to fully drain my tank without disturbing the substrate,
Hi naugber 👋 from Antwerp 🇧🇪 Loving the tank , setup and the fish you have Sinds you like small gourami's , maybe a idee for the next tank your going to scape The choclate gourami's are one of the smallest and like low flow or no-filter tanks They go very well with kuhli loaches , galaxy rasbora cherry barbs / shrimp's ..... All bye all fish you would like I think
Nice rescape..few questions 1. How long can I keep the fishes in a tub with previous water until I rescape 2. Do u suggest to save the water from old tank and reuse it, say 50 percent or so Whenever I rescape I face these issues and end up losing some fishes
1. If you keep a filter running on the tub with fish, you can keep them in there for a few weeks without any issues. 2. Nah the water itself contains very little beneficial bacteria, so there's not really a point in keeping the water.
Dat zwarte ding is een intake van een oud JBL filter, daarna heb ik een lange tuinslag, en dan een opvoerpomp. De pomp zet ik in de gootsteen en zo vul ik de bak met water.
No new aquasoil in here. Adding new soil could be dangerous if it releases a lot of ammonia, so in that case it would be better to add the fish a week or so later.
Yes could be dangerous but once I rescaped my tank using lots of new Amazonia I (the first edition) on top of a small layer of used Amazonia and no single critters or fishes lost. The ammonia spike must have been low or non existent due to the well cycled filter, the old soil and dense planting. I have stopped testing water params many years ago because test kits for the hobbyist delivered unreliable results back then. Might be different nowadays. I tried the whole thing out of curiosity and probably had luck on my side.
@@MJAquascaping Thank you! So if i wanted to add new soil, should i soak the soil in a separate container or perhaps cycle it with bacteria in another container
Amazing job like always! I'm curious when you break down a scape to replant again do you find you typicaly discard the carpeting plants from the old scape? Thanks for the great tutorial!
Nicely done. What is the filter there? So many fish in 70 liters and no issues - you have some serious skills... I hope I will get there someday :) Cheers
Great video once again M.J, congratulations. What is the secret for the intense orange color of your tetra embers? I am not able to obtain that orange color to my embers.
Really enjoyed watching this while I worked on my Honey Gourami tank! In my experience, I've only been able to get the solid yellow honey gourami to live peacefully together. The ones that have a bit of red were just too aggressive. I'll be interested to watch your experience!

When the inlet pipe fell apart and into the tank! 😂 So relatable.
Honey Gouramis are so freaking cute. I love when they "slap fight"
i really enjoy watching people rescape their tanks.
I love honey gouramis..they are so sweet and peaceful…the tank looks really nice..👍🏽
@15:44 LOL
great and inspiring set up

Thanks for showing this. Rescaping the old existing tank can be headache. Thanks for showing how you tear down and re-setup.
Good reuse of plants looks great. Well done you are becoming the one to watch on UA-cam excellent videos
You are so lucky to have such a beautiful fish shop in your vicinity. Closest fish shop to me is only 450kms away. Cheers and Merry Christmas.
That is one hell of a nice pile of Java Fern!!
Both of the pieces are fabulous! Any chance you could do a video on them? Making, care, supplements to get them so vibrant?
MJ your Java Fern is beautiful! Awesome Stuff!

MJ you’re the Bob Ross of aquascaping! I love it!
Those java fern clumps are GOALS
The overgrown look so beautiful , Love the contrast of red and green you choose ✨🔥
I learn something everytime you do a new tutorial. Thank you MJ.
So this is what a mature Java fern growth looks like!
Awesome as usual! Really enjoyed the whole process of the rescape. I always learn something in every one of your videos and they’re so well done. Those gouramis look very happy with their new home!!

I prefer the new sunset versions of honey gouramis because they’re yellow all year round while the wild type ones get dull after breeding.
@@Paul-li9hqwild type honey gouramis do actually still exist. Look em up! One of the three main color variations.
@@johnnydartersaresuperiorbeings funnily enough, I saw the original colour variety just recently 😂
Stunning home for the new additions, you did a cracking job! Theyre beautiful too, it's such a lovely feeling getting new fish and watching them explore their new habitat
Wonderful outcome, very serene and relaxing to look at
love the scape, keep on scaping and inspiring new aquascapers around the world 😊
Your ferns are in such beautiful condition! I looked in the local shops this weekend and they were all covered in black and brown patches.
Wow!! Another beautiful scape. The gouramis were a perfect choice☺️
Ooh, colisa chuna... I love these fish so much. I did some aquascaping like 20 years ago and one of your videos popped up in my recommendations. Great to see that the work of Amano has greatly influenced the scene :D Your channel inspires me to make a tank with my kids next year. Take care.
Thats a very nice scape my friend !
Thanks Mark!
This was nice and relaxing
Love the music in this one.
its one of the better looking tank you have now, really like the calm front low ground, more swim space is always nicer, still think its overstocked though
I really liked the before scape, especially with the subtle reds, but it really did need opening up with that amount of fish.
Nice scape. Colorado sand in the front would have been incredible here I think!
The tank re-do looks so good. 🐟🐠🐡

Nice job, as always. Happy New Year MJ!
So beautiful and full of color!
Water you clear. I like
Happy New Year to you, MJ, I've learned a lot from your vids, so just a BIG thanks from me to you! Bring on some more fantastic scapes in 2023!

Nice rescape! I’m thinking about (lightly) rescaping my tank with some black lava rock and maybe some wood as well!
That's really nice. I like the gravels and the stones. Thank you. I got three Gourami Chuna (one male and two females) in my 60 liters. They're very nice fishes.
*fish singular not plural
Looks great, what is the light thats running on this aquarium
@xAmateurGamings Mark wrote it in the description
Beautiful 👍
Great rescape 👍🏻
I love gouramis! I have a cobalt blue dwarf gourami in one of my tanks. Full of personality 🥰
great video! what did you use to take the water out and add water in while you were cleaning the substrate ?
Excellent job beautiful
Hallo MJ. Love your videos as always. Could you do a video about reusing the old aquasoil. Doesn't it desintegrate when you take it out of the tank?
Very nice
This turned out very nice. You have such a talent. Maybe you can design something to use in your Mayonaise container? 😂😂
😅
I know this was a while ago now, but do you still have the honey gouramis? They’re such fun fish - love their little feeler things. Their behavior is great for watching
Still spraying them pants on I see! Excelent tank btw. Sad to see the old one go but change is nice to see aswell
Very nice I noticed you took out the red root floaters. Why did you decide to take them out I’m thinking about getting some and I’m wondering what was the reason for removing them.
Somehow a lot of it started to melt, I don't know why
Awesome looking tank. I'm going to add a pair of Honey Gourami's to my new tank. A question though is what did you use at the end of the hose when draining the water? Was it filter floss? I need to fully drain my tank without disturbing the substrate,
Yes filter floss!
Gaan de honing gourami’s ook goed met cherry garnaaltjes?
Thank you bro👍🇹🇷🇹🇷
hello, can you introduce all the fixtures you have?
Hi naugber 👋 from Antwerp 🇧🇪
Loving the tank , setup and the fish you have
Sinds you like small gourami's , maybe a idee for the next tank your going to scape
The choclate gourami's are one of the smallest and like low flow or no-filter tanks
They go very well with kuhli loaches , galaxy rasbora cherry barbs / shrimp's .....
All bye all fish you would like I think
Cool idea!
Your welcome naugber 😉👊🤙🐟🐟
3:00 I wonder if you know the exact name od this lily? I'm looking for that kind of species.
nymphaea pygmaea helvola
@@MJAquascaping thanks mate !!
Where can i get one of those aqua wheel attachments to my outflow
Nice rescape..few questions
1. How long can I keep the fishes in a tub with previous water until I rescape
2. Do u suggest to save the water from old tank and reuse it, say 50 percent or so
Whenever I rescape I face these issues and end up losing some fishes

Alweer een toffe video! Vroeg me af wat je gebruikt voor water in/out wissels? Gedoe met emmers begint me flink te irriteren namelijk. Keep it up💪🏼
Dat zwarte ding is een intake van een oud JBL filter, daarna heb ik een lange tuinslag, en dan een opvoerpomp. De pomp zet ik in de gootsteen en zo vul ik de bak met water.
How did you make your hygrophila pinnatifida so red? mine are too green and melted 😮💨
How did you set up your chihiros light? (color, % of power)
Did you add new aqua soil as well? If you do then should it be soaked first?
No new aquasoil in here. Adding new soil could be dangerous if it releases a lot of ammonia, so in that case it would be better to add the fish a week or so later.

@@MJAquascaping Thank you! So if i wanted to add new soil, should i soak the soil in a separate container or perhaps cycle it with bacteria in another container
How do you control the temperature of the water you are adding during a water change to keep from shocking the fish in the tank?
I use a pump in my kitchen sink to fill the tank, and i just feel the temp with my hands
Amazing job like always! I'm curious when you break down a scape to replant again do you find you typicaly discard the carpeting plants from the old scape? Thanks for the great tutorial!
I sometimes use the carpet again, but in this case it was infested with moss.
How many tetras you have in there? Could you please share that info
Hey, How many fishes are there totally?
Great job. What food do you feed the fish? They have a really great colour.
I feed a huge variety of foods, but I think the color is mostly achieved by the Chihiros light
Nice build Mark. How about doing a huge tank, 400 litres (ish) viewable through both long sides, like a room divider?
I just scaped a 600 litre room divider two days ago! Video is coming soon!
Excellent coïncidence ! Can't wait to see it. 👍🏻
100k countdown .......
Java fern looking good and lush man . Are you using any water conditioner and can you tell about the dosage
Nicely done. What is the filter there? So many fish in 70 liters and no issues - you have some serious skills... I hope I will get there someday :) Cheers
Great video once again M.J, congratulations. What is the secret for the intense orange color of your tetra embers? I am not able to obtain that orange color to my embers.
it seems like they get more orange as they get older. But in this case the Chihiros light is making a big difference as well.
what is the water siphon that he use? is there any link?
It's a filter intake from a JBL e701
Really enjoyed watching this while I worked on my Honey Gourami tank! In my experience, I've only been able to get the solid yellow honey gourami to live peacefully together. The ones that have a bit of red were just too aggressive. I'll be interested to watch your experience!
What is the the name of the other small red fish? They look fantastic as well. Nice video as always!
The ember tetras? or the pseudomugil luminatus?
@@MJAquascaping Thanks for your reply. I figured out that I meant the ember tetras.
Hi, on what settings you are running WRGB2?
Large pot of mayonnaise??
😬😬
Do I see neon tetras or cardinal tetras? I had to return my neons because they were eating my gourami’s tentacles and mystery snail’s tentacles.
Wht type of java fern was that?
Fish in dah mayonnaise bucket
never seen litre as liter before. Totally buzzed me out.
What's the red fish?
I like it. Picasso
Hello from Java...
Was the fish okay though?
Totally!
