Hey i was wondering if you had tried to use tubing connecting two aquarium so the fish would travel vice versa between the 2 aquariums. Becuase i think i saw a video. Any tips in making one?
please fill in Indonesian subtitles
wondering what you use for the backing? want to get some of this frosted effect backing but struggling to find anything...
Hi! I'm in Japan, speaking Japanese. You said "eh key bana" but it should be "E" (like the name of the letter, or the sound in the word "English") "keh" (like the "ke" in "kevlar") "bana" (imagine the "nana" from banana, but starting with a b instead of n) so, E Keh Bana 生花 いけばな. It means living flowers, or planted flower artworks :)
Thanks for your take on this beautiful art style!
Even in English, it is clearly written as "ikebana"; so I would expect people to mispronounce it like "ai-keebana", but no, he goes "eh-kehbana" 🤣
But the tank is really pretty.
I think you're starting a new style of aquascaping....Granny's Tea Time Set Style . Jokes aside, love your videos and aquariums. Keep it up
I love it
Maybe he’s gonna start a new trend,
Honestly I have an antique tea cup collection and I totally want to try this 😂😍.
haha. So long as people like it, im happy.
PIN THIS MD!
I was glad to see you rocking and owning the Crocs in socks... 👍😁
My beautiful mother passed away two years ago from cancer. She absolutely loved this kind of blue China. I have some of her beautiful pieces. She also bought me my first aquarium when I was just a little girl. She was such a classy lady and this would absolutely be beautiful to do with these pieces .. this would make a beautiful memorial Ikebana style tank in her honor! That's the beauty of your channel and videos.. the inspiration is like none other! I love it MD! I hope you and your family have a blessed and beautiful weekend thank you so much for sharing! ♥️♥️🌱🐟🌿🙏
So, my wife's name is Tammy, but she goes by Tea. She also collects tea sets. I do dare say, a tea set aquarium may be something to consider! Cheers and well done!
Total California noob here, who just wanted some ideas about what to do for my beautiful and brilliant halfmoon betta, to keep him well and happy. When i discovered your channel, I was Immediately taken with your stunning tanks, enthusiasm for your subject, impressive skills, and delightful presentation. Now it's not just Beto in his inherited, 3.5-gallon tank, but a new 10-gallon tank that's currently growing a variety of plants that I pronounce exactly as you do :), two mystery snails, and two ghost shrimp (maybe). I started with 3 ghost shrimp. One died, one is well and active, and one is MIA (or I'm just seeing one at a time of two remaining). In any case, in less than a month, I've somehow moved from being a one-betta-bowl mom to a wannabe aquascaper with two tanks and a roving eye for rocks, sticks, and now thrift-store bowls - and it's All. Your. Fault. Thank you!
Part time Californian here with 10 gal. My ikebana is in a rectangular bonsai "vase"
for easy transport bc all my pets travel with me.
Hey MD, your local charity shops will have some gorgeous old china bowls, ideal for ikebana tanks. I use them in my low budget low tech tanks so I can spend more money on plants!! Nice old blue and white pieces too...
This is the most beautiful thing I've seen today. I'm teary-eyed and at awe. This inspire me to redesign my betta cube tank.
Some people have magic aquarium hands... lucky guy you are!😉 brave and ingenious 👍🏼
With nano betta setups I feel like you get to do a lot of detailed scaping and experimenting, and it’s so satisfying to watch the intelligent little bettas explore their new home.
That was amazing, as a gardener I love using Asian style placement of plants, your placement and selection is right on as well, it's calming and a spiritual experience to feel the calm and beauty, especially with the one brilliant red fish...nice job...!
I actually gasped and said "wow!" out loud when I saw the thumbnail 😱😍😍😍
Dude, this is so beautiful!. I have a 10 gallon that I couldnt figure out how to decorate. Its gonna be the future home for a betta. I know this style will be perfect. It certainly is very unique. Love it.
Wow! That is the most natural unnatural aquarium ive ever seen
It looks so cool! I love it!
Was waiting for this since I saw this in your insta. This is really beautiful and different loved it ❤️
thank you
Wow, it's absolutely beautiful! Sleek, colourful and just plain WOW-factor!
So beautiful! Its like a world Hayao Miyazaki would draw.
Dang it. I wish I saw this several weeks back before I set up my Betta tank. Love it. Beautiful.
Wow this just awesome, very creative! I love building this sort of scape!
thanks mate.
Just get so imagination going even more doesn't it MH 😁♥️
*Awesome, just awesome. You should do another Ikebana tank. Im loving it.*
It’s so cool to see keemstar doing other things besides drama content!!
I think this is my fav tank out of the video's I've seen so far
This is so different to any aqua scape I’ve seen. 10/10 ❤
I really thought 💭 ah no when I saw the bowls but I was wrong! It looks absolutely beautiful! Somehow natural...🌿🌿🌿
Was unaware of Ikebana design. Thanks! Very nice!
I've been looking for inspiration for ages. I've just found it! This is glorious; different and captivating as there is so much to look at 💙
Calling you creative is an understatement
Just wanna say thanks for all the info on the media and other things as well as links. It is all very helpful and thanks for that.
what a gorgeous tank! I actually really love that style, despite how many different plants and other aspects you have going on, it's a very peaceful and relaxing setup to look at. wonderful work!
I saw a glimpse of this tank in one of your other videos and have been obsessively trying to find this since! I LOVE this look! So glad I finally found the correct video!
That little HOB filter is pretty sweet! Even has a surface skimmer! Now../ to see if I can snag one up in Canada!!
The hardscape just really brings it together, looks awesome. I wish we could get freshwater shrimp in New Zealand 🙁
Honestly all scapes you post are amazing! Don't think I've seen one that I don't like!😊😊
I love the way you used to aquascape in pots
I like how your fish is named Mike. I had one once called George. You did a great job with this setup with the bowls. Came out really well.
I really like a concept like this, it really inspires me a beginner scaper in Indonesia
Somehow you make bowls look amazing in the aquarium. Love this so much ♡
I love this video....I have 3 Imagitarium 6.8 cubes that I modified by taking out all of the back filter sections and adding my own filter, heater, bubbler and light. I loved this video so much that I changed my 3rd cube to this design. I wish I could post pictures here but I can't, I got into the live planted tank at the beginning of the pandemic. I love your channel here in Middletown, NY
I'm from Georgia and your, "pretty darn decent", was pretty spot on.
Stunning! You just took aquascaping to a new level altogether.
I didn't think I was going to like this one, but it's beautiful for sure.
Just started watching your videos a few days ago and man, I've been bingeing on them! You have such an eye for shape; this one's particularly beautiful, and I'm about to make a planted 2-gallon tiny aquarium and I *think* I'm going to try a miniature Ikebana arrangement with a ricebowl. (BTW, it's pronounced EEE-keh-bah-nah, Japanese for 'arranging flowers.) Something small; should be fun (and I have way too many reptile tanks in my place to have any big aquariums!) BTW, your kids and wife are adorable, and kudos to your lady for putting up with and supporting your love of aquariums! That rocks.
the prettiest betta tank I've seen so far
I really find this style of setup to be economical. And kind of very easy to start with a nano tank. Thanks!!!. Really loved it...and will try this out...
Liking the bowls! ❤️ If Mike is happy ~ my boys will be too! 😉 Thank you!
You are so great in providing useful and simple yet money friendly idea
You have inspired me to have an aquarium again after many many years. Thank you ❤️🇦🇺
Love this build… it’s awesome that you always have something new and interesting to do.
What a stunning betta and set up
Sweet video I just got my first 10 gallon tank and ran across your channel today thanks for all the wonderful ideas and beautiful videos! Mike looks happy.
It's sick how creative you are!! Very Beautiful!! Ty for the great Ideas!!😊
Wow that betta is beautiful
@MD your channel is my favorite scaping channel. funny commenting and beautiful artwork. cheers!
Maybe your best video so far. I really enjoyed it and I love your ikebana projects.
Good for Mike looks real good I'm sure he'll enjoy it greatly
Loving your videos and your ideas. You've brought my hobbyist interest back and specially in the self sustaining acuariums.
I wish I had even 1/3rd of the plants you have :')
don't wish...get them :)
I love it ! Also, can you consider putting some heavier plants in the top 3 inches also for Mike (and others)....mine rests near the top in the floating plants, most of the time. Betta's must rest/sleep/feel safe near the surface in foliage.
You always have nice quality plants, great aquascape love it, keep up the good work
I loved it! I absolutely LOVED it! This is an amazing and inspirational tank! Thank you mike.
Stunning! People are suggesting names for your new Ikebana style, but you named it last time: IKEA Banana!
Wow! A very beautiful Betta and the Ikebana setup!! Wish we has Bettas such in stores..
I've been watching your videos for a long time now, and this tank is absolutely stunning. Keep up the great work!
What a gorgeous tank MD! I've seen pictures of Ikebana tanks but never knew the name for them. I may have to try this one day
That tank is so pretty and Mike is very handsome.
I was pretty sceptical! Turned out brilliant!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Would love to see you revisit this tank in 6 months or a years time in the future. Keep it up!
Amazing tank, love the wide variety of plants 👍🏻
Hi, I was searching for deco ideas for my first Betta tank, I found it here, I love the Ikebana. Have been watching many of your videos and it's always a nice relaxing moment. You are so talented and funny :-) Thank you
I like this kind of tank, simple but beautiful n colorful
These builds are next level! You excel at these.
I think I will need to try this style for my female fighter tank!!!
Your aquariums amaze me, I love the hobby and wish that I had your talent.
Simply, loved it MD.
That looks beautiful and would’ve never thought of using bowls like that! Now to just get my stem plants to look like yours where the bottom leaves don’t keep falling off in my non co2 tank! My upper leaves look amazing though haha! Thanks for the great videos always!
Awesome MD! Looks amazing! :-)
I love that you are constantly trying new things and you are developing creatively. I love you are not afraid to throw yourself into something new. And I love that you also show when things are not always going as planned.
You are a huge inspiration to me! :-)
Cheers mate!
Your aquarium looks beautiful! You do an awesome job taking care of it. Great videos you have on here!
That's one sweet lil filter with the skimmer. I'm gonna have to get one. Thanks! Lovely scape btw. And your Texan accent is coming along nicely 👍🏼 -Cheers from Texas!🤠
Awesome Video! I love the bowl idea your tanks are always so green. Great content keep it up!
This is so cool. I will definitely scape a tank like this.
Now that is an ikebana aquarium
Gorgeous!
🙂
He definitely loves it
I think so :)
i love the height that the bowls give
A work of art as usual!
thank you
Makes me happy to look at. :) I have a tank I want to change up and I might have to try a beginner version of this. :)
Best nano you have done so far

Amazing, very creative and brilliant!
WoW unglaublich sehr gut Idee und sowieso mache ich für meine Tochter........ Danke toll Idee !! Du ist beste Idee ;-) !!!!

and am I the only one who thought that it looked like you were putting rice in the bowls at first, made me want a curry😂
haha. Rice bowl scape......next video 🤣
Absolutely stunning!💚
Hey MD! New follower here...you've influenced me in so many ways! I'm US military stationed in the UK, I'd like to make a trip to say thanks and chat! Aquarium gardens isn't far from me in Cambridge...with covid I understand if you'd rather not mate, just showing my appreciation 🤘🤘
Such a creative idea! Your very talented :)
Great stuff! Hadn’t seen the bowl scape before!
