      ​@@frankeyjones.aquascapingThat is what I'm talking about Frankey , and to be honest I was fortunate to get the UNS 90B from my LFS almost entirely for trading some of my Red Cherry Shrimp. I'm sure glad to see what you created since I was just wondering how to make the most of the length but the very small space front to back was giving me a lack of inspiration.... Until watching and now I'm sure it makes sense to use your layout from the back corner with the Cypress and the way you created the elevation is the only thing that I have had since last Saturday when I got home. So thank you for another incredible video for sure and I will be getting everything ready for my 1st ever Caradina Shrimp.

    Wow this looks amazing! The great variety of different plant species really gives it this natural esthetic.
    Btw for future reference, please say scientific names, instead Latin names. It's a very minor thing, but as a biologist I try to set straight this misconception everywhere I can.

    • @frankeyjones.aquascaping
      @frankeyjones.aquascaping  8 місяців тому +1

      Thanks! I did want to place a colocasia black magic in there but i sadly only got the bulb😂 sorry maybe this sound dumb but is the latin name mostly the scientific name? Otherwise teach me✌🏻

    • @TitanChief10
      @TitanChief10 8 місяців тому

      Oehh I'm sure a colocasia would look amazing when it starts to sprout. Should be quick enough with ampel light and warmth.
      Yes so "Latin names" are the same as the "scientific names". They are often used interchangeably, even though only one is a correct term. The misconception stems from the fact that at the start of the Linnaean nomenclature system (yes very expensive words) it was decided to use Latin grammar to form scientific names. They also mostly used Latin and Greek words to form the names. But in modern times loads of scientific names use words from loads of languages, local dialects etc. So calling them Latin names is technically not the correct term to use. Even though most people won't notice the difference.

    • @frankeyjones.aquascaping
      @frankeyjones.aquascaping  8 місяців тому

    • @TitanChief10
      @TitanChief10 8 місяців тому

      @@frankeyjones.aquascaping yes those names are correct. The names are the same whether you call them scientific or Latin doesn't matter. It's only that the one word is truly correct word, and the other one is incorrect in regards to science.
      And no problem I can enjoy teaching people who are willing to learn.
