Can we not use the Holocaust as a joke? Gross. Definitely not subscribing, which is a shame, cause it seems like you know what you're doing. Millions of people died, it wasn't a thirty second fish bowl for TikTok views.
Both bad...sharp stones exist in nature...as long it s not the only type of surfaces i dont see any problem in sharp rocks...i only do natural fish tanks or terrariums...but as ugly the soonge bob tank might be ,it s better then the jar one...
Jesus Christ saved my life he can save yours to. No body is perfect except Jesus Christ. So he was the perfect sacrifice for the world and he became that sacrifice. So that we can be perfect in God’s eyes all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. Forsake meaning as in try your absolute best to not sin. We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said we must be born again to enter The Kingdom of Heaven.
God bless you all. I love you all may you all find Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior .
God bless brothas and sisters ❤❤! Thank God ❤️❤❤😊

To be honest that’s the best fake plant aquarium I’ve ever seen, the looks are quite nice for the theme
@_Ollie_ I didn’t even know I got 1k
3rd to reply 😂
I can agree
fr
It’s very detailed and well done
I wanna do a long tank now that's got plastic pineapples and clown vomit gravel at one end and transitions to full natural planted tank at the other. Sort of a visual representation of my evolution in the hobby.
That would be a really cool tank I think you should do it
@@ronnie268 As soon as I can convince my guy that yes, I really do need another aquarium
Clown vomit. Funny
Love the idea I hope you pull it off
that's what i was planning for my shrimp tank, should i actually get one any time soon! not bc of an evolution, i have never owned an aquarium. but because my dunbass can not decide on an aesthetic and my bedroom is pretty much split in half between nintendo merch, plushies and LEDs and live plants, fairy lights, wooden and clay art and grammy's embroidery and i want that tank in the center of that room lmao
Im just sitting here like "one of these is a fish tank and the other is a drinking glass"
I have a Spongebob themed tank... 😅
There’s nothing wrong with putting some SpongeBob themed things in there, especially with all of the necessary husbandry items already being there. It gives the fish a place to hide.
I agree. The tank is is super clean and well maintained
Yeah more like sharp objects for fish to get body cuts from
@@JAY-jm1xjoh yeah I forgot about all the completely smooth surfaces in nature
Chris's objection to them is purely a subjective, aesthetic preference.
@@JAY-jm1xjah yes. All rocks in nature are smooth as glass
I was about to cry when I saw that small vase-looking “fish tank”
My cousin had a custom 250 sunken ship tank for a Arowana, he liked to say that the fish sank it, it had some live plants and soft substrate
Honestly I prefer the spongebob set up too. Kids absolutely love that and it's clear despite being artificial, the person put quite a bit of effort into that theme, where's I've seen planted tanks that just look like disgusting looking swamps. It depends on the person keeping the fish.
Kids might love the colorful artificial tanks, but many fish love the disgusting swamps lol
If the ‘natural’ tank with the glowfish just had a singular bladder snail then it would be good 😅
My fish has destroyed my every attempt at adding natural plants that root into the substrate (I have live plants on the surface though) but she gets anxious if there's NO plants (even though she's huge she still gets scared when I move) so I just try to get soft fabric fake plants to minimize the risk.
I'm brand new to this hobby. I don't exactly know what I'm doing when it comes to the live plants so that's why I use artificial plants
those poor fish in that tiny little tank :( you can see that they're upset and stressed about being in such a small tank with so many other fish
The way they just dumped the fish in too... You're supposed to get them acclimated to the water first...
The one "tank" just straight up looks like a cup or vase I really hope they weren't actually kept in that
If done correctly, Artificial decor can be benefitial for the animals, as it can be a hiding spot or a place to hide from the light if needed.
But small space can never be made good.
As a kid we had a lot of fish. My mom had a ton of fish before we were born, she even had mini sharks! But growing up we only had small bowls for one fish, with the fake plants and SpongeBob decor. Which if you didn't place the SpongeBob house correctly the fish sometimes would get stuck under the houses and get hurt.
Plants are easy, heres how I do it. I buy some jelly jars that arent likely to tip over maybe 3 inch diameter. Fill with aquatic soil up to 1/2 inch from the top then (this is the most important step) fill it with water and let it set overnight. In the morning stick your figer down the center and then stick the plant in then pack it in. Then on top I like to put some glass discs I get from the Pet store and that will keep the dirt in and fish out. Then place it in the tank, this method will keep the dirt coming out to a minimum.
To each their own. As long as the fish is healthy and the water is clean thats what matters. Im in the process of making a brothel and hotels in my aquariums
That tiny vase is too small for even one fish, I'm mad
All those fish are so cramped in the natural tank, they might have a bit of lowkey trauma.
I don't mind a few weird show oddball artificial decor. A rando skull, pot, or log overgrown by coral or greenery does add some flavor to a tank. But overdoing it does make it look tacky.
Certain qualities are more important than others, the fish can live long in a false decor tank so long as it’s not crowded, has proper filtration, heating, lighting and Water pH. Unfortunately their lives will not be long lived in a small crowded tank without proper equipment and care.
I have a 10 gallon tank for my goldfish, and it has like three artificial plants in it that I put all to one side so he gets a lot of open space
Thank you for explaining exactly WHY you hate artificial decor, I was unsure of getting a few colorful rocks to add to my planted paludarium but I knew it couldn't be THAT bad, plus I never heard of anything saying artificial decor was actually harmful to fish. My sister showed me a TikTok of this handle "naturaldecor" and it looked EXACTLY like that tiny one but bigger with A TON OF THOSE SAME GLOFISH TETRAS. I showed obvious concern/disgust and said "It's WAY overcrowded!" and she said "it looks like a big tank though..." 💀 I would've agreed with that thought process a year ago but I've been researching fishkeeping for many months now to know that's DISGUSTING, which I'm so proud to be knowledgeable in now, thank you Chris
I thought this guy had a camera in my house for a second-
I have a spongebob theme fish tank with fake plants. My fish never got hurt and lived 3 years in it though 🤷♀️
I had gold fish ... They ate every live plant I ever tried to keep in my tank. I had to give them plastic stuff to hide in.
Sodapets pointed out that, as long as the decor isn't toxic, it doesn't actually hurt the fish. But, I would rather it be natural. And that cup is definitely not better. The tank is definitely the better one.
While I used to have a SpongeBob themed planned tank with Cories and turquoise rainbows. You're not wrong, I just have kids.
I dont mind the artificial decorations honestly. So long as those decorations are fit for purpose and safe and the fishies have everything they need - if people want to build a my little pony waterscape, go ham.
I’ve never seen a SpongeBob fish tank actually include Patrick’s house- already adds a bonus point in my opinion! 😅
To be honest, there isn't enough "man made objects in natural setting" aquariums. Like a collection of decaying statues in an overgrown forrest or a sleeping water god encased in stone waiting to emerge from their restful slumber. It's either completely fake or completely real.
That isnt a tank thats a cup.
So this makes me laugh because the first thing I got when my sister dropped my very first fish on me without knowing anything about fish was that stupid pineapple. I knew it was tacky, but this fish had NOTHING, and I had little warning.
The tank was about three gallons, and it had one lone surviving tetra in it.
Poor thing had no place to hide, no plants, no light. Just some weird tumbled glass on the bottom.
The fish is alive and happy now. She's still a lone tetra, but she has three shrimp friends, a snail, a place to hide, and since I already was a rare plant collector it wasn't hard to adapt to aquatic plants.
She stayed in her hide for like two months while I researched and added amenities.
Her new tank is cycling, but she's getting a ten gallon that is scaped like a riverbed.
It's my first scape, but I've made terrariums, and I used to teach art, so I know enough to make something pretty.
I'm so damn excited for the tank to balance. She is out of her stupid pineapple more often than not, and she's so damn silly. I can't wait for her to be able to spread out and explore in an ENTIRELY understocked tank.
She has you to thank, man. You were literally the first aquarium youtuber I watched.
I also bought an 85 gallon custom tank with a canister filter and SUPER expensive lights/equipment/chemicals for $400. My aquarium hobbyist friend lost her mind when she saw the price. The lights alone were worth $400.
Anyways, I like ropefish, so I'm learning with this small tank.
There maybe a good marriage b/t some deco and appropriate plants/rocks etc. This gets kids into our hobby.
Dude I just watched someone put a fresh water puffer in a 1/2 gallon
I think it would be cool if you had a mixture of natural plants and artificial sculptures. Could still keep it like the fishes nature environment (to an extent) while having something that makes it unique in a way
Yeah I agree, my my style but the larger tank looked very well kept, or is a fresh setup so hadn't gotten any buildup yet.
The tiny one better a very short display or something just to look cool - which it does but not good.
"You hate on the artificial decor like its the holocaust"
Me:*dying inside*
Tank 2 looks like a vase.
Thank you for this educational break down.
As a slosher/trislosher main i was so happy when rt started using it too. It’s just a bucket and you splat everyone!!! I love it!!!
I use artificial plants but 1. They look realistic and natural 2. I provide other forms of natural enrichment for my fishes like rock structures and driftwood to hide in
What plants would you recommend for a beginner who has a 10 gallon?
me with my spongebob themed fish tank 😳
Lol Me watching this just as I've upgraded my son's small, plastic SpongeBob themed tank of 7 black/red phantom's after feeling bad when learning they were overstocked in there, and probably not enjoying the artificial decor. Just moved them into their new 15 gallon, fully planted tank :)
I love fake spongebob ones or pirate ships ones!! they are so colorful!!
I never knew Chris had another channel
How big a tank suppose to be for a small fish ? really asking cus I starting to get interested
I have live plants and sponge bob decorations lmfao. the fish are completely happy.
My dad had a SpongeBob themed tank when I was a kid but it was actually really awesome with lots of real plants and super well taken care of
Not even talking about throwing fish directly into a tank after filling it with water. 😳
I have some artificial decor but stuff that looks and feels like, real seaweed and stuff but I also keep predator fish that planted tanks would be impossible to keep. Especially my jack dempseys, they dig everything up
Maybe some people use plastic decoration because they can't afford nor maintain live nature?
What kind of plant is that in the 2nd tank
That's not even a tank, that's a vase for flowers or a plant!!!!
Thank you for advice. I always prefer natural plants,no plastic so fish can feel safe
My brother has an artificial tank and it is exquisitely maintained. 🤷♀️ His fish are healthy and breeding they are so comfortable in their environment.
The worst fish tank is in a blender.
I’d replace the fake plants with aquatic ones but I love the theme and space provided
I have a planted Amazon tank myself, and understand why you’d prefer the natural aesthetic , but that SpongeBob tank is sweet! 😂
I did artificial plants because I was a beginner, my tank looked great but not the plants are not and the silk is fraying because I try to keep the algae down, now that I’ve had the tank for a year I would like to start shifting over to live plants. Someone told me I’ll need to remove everything and add substrate under the sand for the plants, another person said the plants should be fine in just the sand. My fish are happy and healthy and that makes me worry about removing them to make the switch.
I get algae a lot because I like to have the light on during the day, I like to actually see my fish or what is the point of having them?
I have 8 fish in a 20 gallon tank, I plan on getting some algae eaters soon, the algae is just starting to be green instead of brown.
My tanks are completely natural except for one Squidward house and I don't care who knows it! Lol
TikTokers be like:
“this fish will be perfect for my aesthetic background I have on TikTok!”
*a day later without feeding it*
“Damn, how did it die?”
I have a bare bottom tank for my axolotl with fake plants and logs because I heard they tend to land on the plants and kill them :')
They also didn’t acclimate the fish in the small tank
worst fish tank is the SHARK 🦈 TANK . they'd be rejecting every proposal 😅
You could have some fake decorations and still have the real coral and other stuff
I love natural stuff, and I'm so fascinated by bioactive enclosures and tanks and making little ecosystems, but. . . if I ever did a fish tank there's no way I'd pass on putting a pirate ship in there 🤷♀️ plus live plants. And when my lizard gets bigger, yes I'm going to keep it natural and try to do a bioactive vivarium, but I'm also planning on putting cute little rope bridges in, maybe a stone path leading to a hobit-hole looking hide. I mean, come on, why not?
Don’t remember where but i saw a spongebob tank with the deco and real plants and it looked awesome
Artificial decor is fine. It only needs to have SOME natural stuff, but artificial decor is fine to win it
I have three aquariums. Two with real plants and tropical fish. One is all fake plants because that one houses six asshole goldfish and they're absolute menaces and will chew through/eat anything. Spent half a year constantly replanting, trying to find plants they WOULDN'T uproot, but the always managed, so I gave up and put in fake plants. I do have a few live moss spheres in there, though. They knock them around but at least they can't damage them and it kinda looks like they're playing fishy football so everyone's happy.
The "natural" one isnt even a tank, looks more like a wide vase
Its rule of thumb, theres always exceptions to it
I mean...they honestly just threw the fish in...like didn't even pour carefully just chucked in...so a tank maybe twice as big as the cup poured from..
I bought a fake plant recently (I only have live) I wanted to make the aquarium look more Colorful… I found my one year old glow shark stuck in the sharp plastic blades the next day 😭 I kind of feel like she was trying to feed off the algae that wasn’t there and got stabbed and stuck 😢 I am never getting fake plants again
I don’t like the look of fake plants either, but in all honesty most of the fish I’ve kept are way lower maintenance than the plants 😂
Sometimes the animals themselves form a connection to certain artificial objects. For example we had a cat fish, Peeves, we'd gotten from extended family that went _CrAzY_ if his artificial coliseum was not in the tank...Crazy enough that he kept trying to un-alive himself by jumping out of the tank, and bashing his body against the walls! We were at a loss of what to do, called my uncle/og owner who told us to place the coliseum in the tank. The second we did Peeves finally calmed down, swam right to the thing, and just chilled in the center of the coliseum. Any time the coliseum was removed he'd throw his tantrun again, so we kept it in there lol Anyways, I think a balance can be struck between artificial decor and natural plants/rocks/woods/ect.
i have a pond out back (all natural with the filters and stuff, the fish really like the currents) and the first one put me into shock. absolutely no way
what makes it worse is the live plants make it clear that they know the tank isnt suatable for dfish
Need some advice! Not having any luck with research. Grandma has a fish tank that been sitting for a long time with dead fish. My current plan is wet dry vac and vinegar water. Also nose plugs lol please help
Gatekeeping in fish keeping is wild
I love your insight being truthful as much as we hate to admit instant subscribe
Is there ever a problem with plastics contaminating the tank water? Or other artificial deco made with questionable material? That's what I'd be afraid of.
the small one is a vase
In my opinion glow fish are a way bigger red flag than fake decorations
The water chemistry will swing like crazy in the tiny tank, but at least the nitrates will be taken up by the plants. If they live on the 5th floor of a 90 story building, so the temperature is kept warm by the insulation of 80 stories above. And they do 20% water change every day, and the fish don’t grow any bigger, and they don’t overfeed, and the fish don’t jump out, the tank has a chance of not crashing. Of course I would never do something that cruel to the fish, but I’m just saying it’s possibly not impossible to maintain.
Then again these fish have already been subject to the greatest cruelty- the artificial colouring process.😢
That’s immediately what I thought I was thinking no way he put like 7 or 8 fish in that small jar it shouldn’t even be called a tank it’s just and over sized jar
Some of us know perfectly well how to take of fish but we get Spongebob decorations to garner interest and participation for our children so we can teach them how to properly care for fish. Saying someone doesn't know how to care for fish because of their chosen decorations is a bit like saying someone doesn't know how to drive because they painted their car an ugly color. One has nothing to do with the other.
😂😂😂 I have a spongebob theme in my 130 litre tank with real plants 😂😅😅😅
Ok wait so I could only get artificial stuff but watching your videos helped me still make a natural looking tank
The worst "fish tanks" I've seen are on Lego house building videos, not only is the water level one cup deep, but they also put like 5 fish the length of a sharpie in them🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I used to have live plants in my aquarium until all my pleco ate them so now it's all plastic
What if the plants were real in the sponge bob themed tank as well as being well maintained?
The beauty of our hobby.... fish don't care what your decor is. I've seen some beauties and some uglies, but as long as the water parameters are good and the fish have some cover (which most of them want) then just enjoy!
My tanks all look the same... like someone scouped up the bottom of a lake or river.
Sponge Bob gets the young into our hobby, and that's what we want!
Best Regards. - Bruce
I have a price of oco stone in one of my guppy tanks for the baby guppies to hide in also but I sanded down the sharp peices
Well try having live plants with large cichlids. They will literally tear them apart and look me in the eyes like I ruined their house. Lol
Fake plants they are fine in my opinion I mean real plants are sorta expensive and need sunlight which adds to cost 💲 so that’s the only reason I don’t have live plants is the cost of it
I use fake plants because there cheaper to maintain and it easier for baby fish to hind in something that doesn't change in size
I do think having a mix is best for the plants and aquatic animals I have a mostly artificial tank but it does have a bamboo plant I want to get atleast one more plant to help with filtering the water I mostly focused on letting them have hiding spots and areas to explore things they want rather than I do but due to the fact uts hard for me to find good aquatic plants in pet stores I'm struggling a little to get that second plant and yes they have a actual tank filter but like how breathing in a forest is better than ac air it would help their mood and give them something more natural to breathe
Not me taking a screenshot of the spongebob tank for inspiration later 😭😭😭
