      The music was too soon, or too loud, made it almost impossible for me to hear you.
      But this was neat, learned some new stuff as always from your vids, thanks!

      I added a piece of wood to my betta's tank yesterday. He was right by my hand watching the whole time and as soon as I took my hand out, he zipped around once and went into his favorite nook in the wood. it made me laugh.

    Albimas look very awesome and healthy. I'll have to remember this video to keep in mind the type of wood you used. Neons do well in a similar set up. I also did well with some cave breeding cichlids in a similar dark water tank. Which surprised me a bit as they were in the tank while I set up their own tank. Which was given to another set of dark water fish and plants.

    Wow Coopy, the tank looks amazing! I have a semi-blackwater tank, working on it! Just added spiderwood (man..it's a struggle weighing it down... I soaked it for almost two weeks.. still needs weighed down) and I use catappa leaves and other things.
    The only things I don't understand is, why the music at the end? I can't hear anything you're saying because it drowns you out. Other than that, fabulous video, great to see the process of some of these tanks!

    I need some advice ... Currently I have a cheap kit from walmart (again for the kids) and I am realizing that the intank filter it came with it not adequate. I bought an aquaclear 20 and some extra sponges I would like to setup (like you suggest on your optimization video), however is there any way I should switch them out? I had 6 mollies and only 2 are left. I did not realize it but I had super high ammonia issues (guessing it was related to poor bio bacteria. Any ideas?

    Strawberry bettas are by far the most beautiful betta. If you're into years of selective breeding for funky 'paint jobs' then you do you. But nothing beats nature's designs imo
