- Discover the advantages of using open-top tanks that allow you to fully appreciate the aquatic environment and why we've chosen the Chihiros Vivid Mini as the ideal lighting solution for our shallow tank.
Our hardscape selection includes stunning wood and Wild Rhino stones, which create a captivating contrast in this aquascape. We'll guide you through arranging the hardscape for maximum visual impact.
Regarding substrate, we've chosen a combination of ADA Power Sand Advance, ADA Aquasoil Amazonia Ver.2, ADA La Plata Sand, and ADA Aqua Gravel to provide the best foundation for plant growth.
Speaking of plants, we'll introduce you to the aquatic plant species we've carefully selected for this aquascape, including Eleocharis acicularis 'Mini,' Cryptocoryne lutea 'Hobbit,' Bucephalandra sp. 'Mini Red,' and Lilaeopsis brasiliensis PAD.
As for the star of this aquarium, meet the charismatic Dwarf Pufferfish (Carinotetraodon travancoricus). We'll discuss the unique characteristics of these fish and why they're an excellent choice for this setup.
Join us as we complete the aquascape, and stay tuned for a follow-up video where we showcase the tank's progress after a few weeks.

I love dwarf puffer fish. I have a tank with a bonsai tree. I used a red moss for the foliage on the tree, I added white cloud minnows, pencil fish, and puffers. It is one of my favorite tanks. Thanks for the great videos.
You are welcome, glad you like this! Cheers!
That sounds awesome. I'd love to see it some how haha. I've always heard you can't keep anything with dwarf puffers since they attack everything. I have shrimp and endlers with mine though and never a problem. I always keep the tank stocked with snails for snacks though.
Yeah, yours are well behaved. :)
I've had 2 puffers together with 8 silver mollies and a couple of gold gourami. The puffers nibbled on every other fish (including their buddy puffer), even though the gouramis were at least 10 times as big as the puffers.
Do vid with ur tank bro would love to see that!
I really love this type of tanks! So many points of interest! Just the design alone makes it unique, gives it a 3D look! THANK YOU Balazs for the video! Awesome hardscape!
You are welcome, glad you like this my friend. Cheers!
Wow, this is one of the best scapes I’ve ever seen so simple and all of the colors go together so well. Great job
I love dwarf puffers...YAY!
I love dwarfs!
@@mcdus1441 And I love this tank so much Green Aqua!!!
Cheers! :)
probably one of the greatest tank you ever done
I like this tank a lot. Simple and not pretentious. True nature style.
Yeah, it is simple indeed. Glad you like it. Cheers!
Love that. One of my favourites for sure.
I truly Soo much Love this video ✨🌿 this has been one of the sweetest tank builds
Awesome scape and fish choice.
Wow... what a beauty scape in a shallow tank ...another good alternative for that tank will be with a betta fish.... they love shallow tanks
This wood is very beautifull and extra detailing.
😍
Such a cool scape looks beautiful
Thanks! Glad you like it!
I’m ordering my 60F today so I came back for a refresher. It will go in my office and replace a 22L nano tank.
really love this tank ! huge fan of shallow tanks. Keep it up guys
Thanks, will do!
love this setup ...
I love all the language captions
Looks awesome Balazs. Fantastic job! Really like these 60F style shallow tanks. Love that wood as well...I think that is the major trend nowadays... The reason I like this is it reminds me of some of Adam's aquascapes at his idea studio.
Yes, Adam has used similar wood before, I agree with you.
the work was very beautiful. I love these puffers. what are you using to feed him? what parameters does the water need to have? congratulations again for the beautiful tank.
We use frozen food, and some Green Aqua dry-food as well. Water parameters are the same like everywhere. TDS 120, 23-24 degrees, pH fluctuates with CO2 between 6.4-6.8-7?
@@GreenAquaShop How can the 60-F be so free from algae without any snails and shrimp after 2-3 weeks? Looks amazing!
TDS is at 120, what is the tap water from the beginning?
Do you have any EC on the water as well?
very cool video, i am now a subscriber. i loved the gravel layout explanation
4:34 "this branch is going to obstruct the maintenance, so I am going to remove it" KUDOS to you good sir, too many tank builds I see are set up for pure aesthetic purposes with entire disregard for upkeep and maintenance, which leads and unmanageable and dirty tanks in the long run which in turn defeats the initial concern for beauty as it becomes ugly very rapidly if it cannot be maintained.
I need such a tank in my life.
Vẻ đẹp hoang dã, tuyệt vời
Glad you like it, thanks for watching!
another amazing build video
Cheers, thanks!
Awesome video. I just might try doing one of those tanks myself.
So beautiful👏👏👏
Your work is amazing and inspirationable make a hybrid aquascape mimicking the rio negro that would be amazing😀
Hi, hello, I'm from China. Although China's aquarium industry is very developed, the quality is not very good, especially the aesthetics of the aquarium set is far behind. I really like watching your videos and learn a lot from them. I have been in contact with aquariums since 2016. ADA products are really good, but the price is too expensive, and the premium is serious. After watching your video, I learned how to build my own aquarium more reasonably. If only you guys could set up shop in China lol.
dwarf pufferfish is endemic to our area ( kerala). Iam very happy to see them in that beautiful planted tank😀.. I only seen them in mudy rivers in here.. There are 1000 of them in our rivers😊
How big do they grow in the wild?
@@mayshack i saw some of them around 3 cm
thats why this tank is horrible for the puffer, he wont grow old in there
@valle.k.7180 these are called DWARF for a reason 🙄
Thanks
Come on puffer guy come on😍
I'm
gonna be honest, I'm 3 minutes in but I already enjoy this channel, definitely gonna stick around
I have a 60L tank with 4 puffers and a whole army of shrimp +3 Zebra snails, they've been living toghetter for 2 years now without any compications what so ever! So don't hold back on the idear of using shrimp with puffers, shrimps are way to fast for them anyway and they multiply so fast that those puffer never would be able to make them go extinct in the tank. But this might probably not work for everybody though :D
Beautiful work well done
Thanks so much, glad you like it.
That's cool
You guys should really make a mangrove forest tank. That would be so cool.
Good song choice!!
Thanks!
とても綺麗な水景ですね。
欧州の方の感覚は日本人では生まれにくい発想を生み出しますね。
感心しました。
Thanks so much for the kind feedback. I feel the exact same, but with the Japanese suikei creators. I respect them a lot!
So Beautiful 😍
Beautiful
Thanks, Many, glad you still like our creations!
Definitely a modern tank where you can see through what is flushing the water surface
Yeah, modern. Nicely put. Cheers.
Maravilhoso 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice 👍🏽
I keep dwarf puffers with numerous shrimp, and they do not bother, nor have I ever seen them even approach a shrimp. I have no doubt they eat small ones (as do all fish). I would not guarantee this will always be the case, but for those thinking about including them with shrimp you can try it, and if it fails transfer the puffers or shrimp. They did however literally eat every snail in my tank, so now I have to add snails to the tank. Even very large snails, which I assumed would be safe from them, eventually got hunted down and pulled apart.
Perfect!!
Glad you like it, thanks for watching and commenting - as usual. Cheers.
Hermoso este proyecto..
Thank you 👍
I succesfully keep a full and growing Orange Sunkist shrimp colony in a 3 gallon tank with 3 puffer fish. Experiment on your own folks don't always follow what you see on youtube. I'm sure some shrimp get eaten but thats the circle of life.
You are the Michelangelo of Aquascaping
The best aquascaper
Thanks! But there are many better scapers out there! Cheers!
NICE
It's nice to have paid assistants. 🙂
It's nice to have a team, period. :)
I think the term F for Flood came from the idea that shallow thank resemble the natural habitat that only fill with water when it flooded by rain.
the Pool is for habitat that always fill with water.
Flood and pool makes sense. Flood like a flood plain so a lot of emergent growth shallow water, a habitat that will be dry in dry season but aquatic in rainy season. Pool meaning a habitat that is always aquatic, deeper water, so deep tank
its just so beautifullllllllllllll
Glad you like this. Thanks for watching.
Hey Guys, great tank! Could you give an Update on this in the Future? That would be awesome.
I've always wondered about the meaning of those letters.
Hahahaha.
Thus, great tank, Balázs! I just got worried about the risk of getting sand and soil mixed up.
Cheers from an convalescent brazillian friend!
Cheers, yeah, now we know. LOL
i want to use this setup on my 60x35x35cm tank. thanks for the inspiration..
Vety nice, but what kind of filtration do you use for this tank?
❤❤❤
Hi GreenAqua,
Why do we use KH/GH remineralizer with RO water if we can install TDS adjuster to our RO system which would set TDS of RO water as needed (say 120 PPM) ?
Thanks.
Love this!! Where do you get those black turn tabes!?! How very helpful!
Look online for “Lazy Susan” turntables, that’s what they’re called
Hello green aqua 'greetings from Belgium
Greetings, Erna! Good to have you here!
Hello, thank you for your YT channel, it,s really great! I have a 200l tank. he wants to have rotala h'ra, eleoharis parvula, Micranthemum "Monte Carlo" and rocks. I have an Oase biothermo 600 filter. i thinking about CO2 reactor and a UV lamp. is it not a weak filter for such conditions?
So beautiful! I just dont want to clean it😬 maybe if i was retired. So sooooooothing maybe some water dogs too
Yeah, some people will spend their free time with other things they find disconnecting.
Hello, guys! Amaizing tank! What disain you are recomend for axolotl😅?
👏 👏 👏
Que tipo de filtro aconsejarias para el acuario ya que no tiene mucha altura?
Awesome tank! What kind of filtration do you have in this tank? How often do you do water changes?
I didn’t see a filter. That’s why I’m reading comments to find the answer.
Hi beautiful work but is there no need for a filter or heating system?
Yes, there is need. We just didn't show it. But it is listed in the description. Cheers, welcome to the channel.
Nice setup but no snails or otto for cleaning?
Owner and breeder of Dwarf Puffer fish. It is not true that puffers eat shrimp, they may but on a very very small scale and when they are super starved. I have Shrimp (mixture of Neocaridina and Amano)in all my puffer tanks and never seen a dwarf puffer even slightly interested in them. I always have plenty of shrimp fry around.
Also I see recommendations of keeping a number more than 3 to reduce aggression... you can keep as many as you want as long as you have a low ratio of males and enough space for them to have domains, It's the boys that kill each other. That's what I found breeding the last 4 years anyway...
Juniper wood? Does that leach anything besides tannins? Junipers have a lot of resin/sap
Đẹp thật sự
Would have been great to create a swamp with lots of carnivorous and emerged plants for a change. But looks good as always of course
That is not a bad idea, maybe I'll do something like that someday.
Love pea puffers...id agree with some others that they are unlike other puffers in that they do better in groups. My group has died off and i only have 1 left in a 60 gallon tank where he's housed with a male texas map turtle that doesnt eat fish as well as 10,000 snails...he feasts all day on snails...it takes me a while to find yim hes so small but whenever i do hes snatching snails off the dragon rock or plants...i want to buy some more...
What kind of clippers are those you are using to shape the wood?
Can I ask what light u it you are using please? Im sorry, I just cannot make it out what you say on the video….beautiful scape, I am looking to recreate the hardware used as I love the look of this tank
H = Hara, which mean deep
F = Fukai, which mean shallow of depth
Oh, ok! Thanks!
for apply the wood to the rocks you can use baking soda with super glue, it's safe for fish
Welcome to the Balazs world :)
LOL, right!
Hi there, amazing video, like almost all your channel. Thanks to you, i started aquascaping :). I'd like to ask wich cleaning staff should i put in, with te pea puffers. Shrimps and snails would be eaten by this litlle innocent carnivorous fish. Thank you in advance.
Do you need some pruning shears(metszőolló) for triming the wood? Although, i'm thinking that, you probably prefer a rough break in the wood, instead of a clean cut.
Puffers are one of my favourite fish! 🐡
Yeah, I would just break the wood, I use bonsai concave cutters sometimes though. Quite expensive too. :)
How do you incorporate the co2 in that system?
What kind of glie and dust are you using?
Tanks with an open top and scaping extending up are my favorite but I’ll never get one. I have a cat and will always have a cat. Lol.
I do "p" for pro (standard) "f" for flat (shallow) and "h" for high (tall)
What do you use to glue them together.. ? It looks like tissue to me. I am just getting ideas
What type of camera is being used on the fish tanks?
May i ask what glue you use in your Aquarium
Hey Balazs, i prefer for myself to say 60F = 60 FLAT
Oh, right! I didn't think of this! But you are right! Thanks.
que tipo de pegamento usan para hacer esas composiciones ?
Beautiful tank. What filter was used?
All details in the description, as always. Thanks for reading it. Cheers. 🙏🏻👍🏻
What is it the glue do you use?
I've got 6 of those beautiful fish but I need to tell this 😉I kept them with shrimp almost a year nothing is really happened🤟 but no single snail in aquarium 😁😁 🤣 Regards
Do shallow tanks have problems with fish leaping out?
Hi,Is c2 rgb is sufficient for this dimension 60x30x25
Can we get the update for this tank?
Very interested in this tank ♥️
what kind of filter would you use here?
I've always had the beliefs that a tank needs a filter and bubbler for filtration and oxygen, but somehow it doesn't seem to have neither. I've been shopping for a tank and anywhere I went I've been told I need a filter and air stone. I'm a bit confused now.
❤
🙏
looks great but how do you maintain the water quality?
Good filtration. Listed in the description. Cheers!
