Building a SpongeBob Themed Aquarium (from scratch)

- Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Apparently my goldfish now... See how I constructed this new aquarium for my two goldfish.
*edit (please read before commenting)
A lot of people seem worried that I didn't acclimate the fish to the new water. Don't worry the fish were acclimated off camera (I make fan art build videos, not fish videos, so I didn't show that step sorry).
People keep saying they need a bigger tank, but they don't until they get bigger. For their current size it is perfect and I will build them a bigger one when the time comes as I already have done once.
The tank has been filled up more.
I am now aware that the two smaller fish are actually hill stream loaches and not plecos, thanks to Proteus who first let me know. Apparently here in Ireland the pet shops lie to their customers and call them plecos, not loaches.
The Patrick house was made from clay for the main body and soft plastic brush bristles for the antenna painted gold and glued together. Then I covered the whole thing in 2 layers of aquarium safe silicone to make it water resistant.
The plants are Myriophyllum and Lilaeopsis. The substrates are aquatic soil (left) and natural river bed sand (right).
A lot of people have pointed out that you are not supposed to put goldfish in a planted aquarium as they will eat the plants. It's been months now and the fish have not eaten the plants. I think this may only apply to very fragile or delicate plants which mine are not.
Finally to those saying who are saying I need to get a filter and/or bubbler. There is indeed a filter in there (right side of the tank after it is set up) and the plants provide extra oxygen to the water for the fish. I also do regular 20% water changes. I know the signs of when a fish is unhappy or not getting enough oxygen etc and these little guys are all good. Thanks for all the feedback.

I just want to pay respect to the late great Stephen Hillenburg, the man who created the world on which this tank is based. Thank you for sharing your creations with us, Stephen.
Make sure to check out the other builds I have on my channel if you enjoyed this 😊
So many of you pointed out my Attack on Titan hoodie that I did a build based on the show, check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/UJAGr0kdEqE/v-deo.html
If you have any questions or concerns about this video please read my description, many things not shown in the video are mentioned there (for example that the fish were acclimated prior to being introduced, as many people have assumed it wasn't done since I didn't film it).
Also I shall be building the fish a bigger tank when needed, don't worry this won't be the home to fully grown goldfish.
Toasted Fan Art 😘
Toasted Fan Art bagus
Toasted Fan Art Sandy??
Kluna Tik IND I actually have a model of her too (as well as Mr. Crabs and Plankton) but I didn't want to make the tank too cluttered 😅 thanks for watching 😊
Thaksin so cool
You need to add that classic Spongebob backdrop on the back of your fish tank, that like flower pattern that's always in the sky in all spongebob episodes.
It's funny you mention that, I literally had one painted and recorded myself adding it but I hated how it looked so I just threw it away and didn't bother.
those are big, well taken care of gold fish
s_ r some goldfish get to a foot and a half long those are fancy goldfish which get to about 4-5 inches
still think they are big? haha
Collin Brumm yep i still think they are big
s_ r they will get bigger still
Collin Brumm i know i just said those are big gold fish
Collin Brumm never said they didnt get bigger
This is awesome! ^^ Now just add the Krusty Krab, but Patrick at the counter and the fishies can take reservations, while Patrick shouts "NO! THIS IS PATRICK!"
Hahaha good idea 😂😂😂
Idk how anyone could dislike this, this is actual quality, creative content.
Appreciate that. Some people are never happy lol
that tank is beautiful. and your goldfish are so vibrant and healthy. I actually suggest getting snails. they will help with the algae, and will also look like Gary ;)
MassDoesGames Thank you so much :) oh and I actually had that same idea with the snail but my local pet store only had snails that were meant for a tropical tank :(
You took my only food, now I'm going to starveeeee
Gimme all da munch
What an underrated comment 😂
Everyone on the internet is an expert... Anyway, nicely done man. I this it looks great. The speed at which that grass grew has inspired me to try it out.
Bobby Two Shades Awesome, I love hearing that I've inspired others to make stuff. Best tip I can give you for the grass is get a good quality light and leave it on a lot each day, makes the grass grow so much faster.
Came here from your comment on a video about a dog wearing a vr headset. Great job btw!
Hahaha you're like the 3rd person to say that to me in the last few days that's hilarious 😂
Also thanks I'm glad you enjoyed 😊
Toasted Fan Art lol 🤣 you’re welcome! I subbed to you btw
@@merlinthemutt1386 Thanks so much! Hoping to get a new video out soon, just so busy with work 😥
Toasted Fan Art yeah hopefully a new video comes out eventually. And hopefully you don’t get too busy 👍🏻
Wow those fishes are so beautiful you are so good person that u care a lot for them 😊😊
Aw thanks so much that's very sweet of you to say
@@ToastedFanArt 😃thank you
love it especially all the plants in the tank!
Giggz05 Thanks :)
This is pretty cool.
I’m sure ur fish really like that tank. I would want to live in it if I were a fish
Aw thanks

Poppy Beck thanks so much! And they say thanks too 😁
Really creative n stunning,,i love spongebob,,love yor fishes❤❤
Arnab Sutar Thanks so much I'm glad you like it 😊
I have a fish tank to but you’re fish tank is really creative
I’ve always loved OG Squidward’s house
Yeah that Easter Island style head is great
I love your fish from where did you bought this beautiful fish
They say "thank you"! Oh and I got them in my local pet store in Dublin, Ireland. But I'm sure you could get similar fish in your own local pet store. Bets of luck and thanks for watching 😊
Toasted Fan Art thank you for your reply and your videos are very cool,awesome and fantastic 😆😆😆
Beautiful. If you are reading his, please replace the goldfish with a trio of Guppies. Maybe dumbo mosaic.
I plan on getting the goldfish an even bigger tank soon so maybe when this one is vacated I'll do that. Thanks for the idea 😊
@@ToastedFanArt thanks for considering and replying.
You’re goldfish are really pretty!!
They say thank you 😊
I love your fish dude they are adorable
Philip Ross Aw thanks! (They say thanks too). I need to get them another new tank soon I think, they have grown so much since this video...
I find this endlessly hilarious as I named my fish Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen
Hahaha that's brilliant... and a mouthful
They look so happy 🐠 🐟 😊
Hopefully 😁
Awww they are sooooo cute even when they eat
Glad you like em. They're my cute bois
I came here from the comment I saw on a dog trying out a VR, this looks great :0
Haha that's hilarious. Well thanks for checking out my page and I'm glad you like my content 😊
Mhm! Np. Definitely subscribing :3
Same lol
I don't know how I ended up here but I'm glad I did
Haha glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
You did a amazing job! I like the theme since that’s one of my favourite shows too!
GalaxyGirl Gaming thanks so much :)
In glad they got a nice new better tank.
Omg yes ! your fishes are amazing and the tank is perfect for them. You’re amazing 🥵
Aw thanks so much
Love it this is so cool 💙
nadia wessels Thanks glad you like it 😊
This vedio is the best 🤣🤗
Aw thanks I'm glad you like it 😁
I just got the squidward house last night and this video popped up on my reccomended
The UA-cam algorithm knows 👀
@@ToastedFanArt it always knows.
Squidward looks higher than space my guy , tripping mad balls
It's his cousin Sqweedward 😉🌿🔥💨
I believe that your "plecos" are actually hillstream loaches. They are similar, but require slightly different care requirements. I'm sure that they will do well with you!
Christopher O'Brien Yeah they are thanks, I explain why I made the mistake in the video description if you wanna know.
Whaouw, nice tank for IAPLC!
Never put water from one aquarium or water body into another 4:42, the water can carry diseases which can be detrimental only use your water that you know is safe. But besides that excellent build I only wish that they would have better orniments for spongebob the ones at our disposal are just not very good(but the orniments are at no fault of his own so...)
Put a crab in it and a squirrel ☺
A crab might work, but I don't know how well the squirrel would do 😂
@@ToastedFanArt lol 😂
Put just a little more water because they need more top water cuz they are some big goldfish. They will be ok in that amount of water but i would suggest adding more
Those look like hillstream loaches to me not plecos? But idk- also hoo boy that is a gamble putting a tank above your computer setup- especially if it's homemade :C be careful doing water changes!
VYDIOKILLEDRAIDEO You're totally correct about the loaches I explain why I made the mistake in the video description. As for the risk factor of the tank placement, all I can say is I like to live on the edge ;D
Omg that so cute aquarium
Kylie Jason thanks so much 😊
Your goldfish are massive
Noah Schokman They are, and they will get a lot bigger too so I will need to build then another tank eventually. Thanks for watching :)
Toasted Fan Art NP my goldfish are tiny
Also can I have a shout out
Thx XD
This really good i like👌
syairul wandi Thanks I'm glad you do 😊
Wow your fish are really cool! How did you make the Patrick home?
That's pretty sick! But your setup thoooo I like it very much😂
ImNickP03 haha thanks
Bagus
Citra Nurjannah thanks so much 😊
jesus christ, the way he puts those fish in. this dude doesnt need to have animals.
That was incredible
Glad you liked it
You need the crusty crab . They sell those too.
That’s beautiful and awesome also artistic
Harshine sunshine72 Aw thanks so much for the kind words, I'm glad you like it. I have other builds too if you'd like to check them out 😊
Wht a nice desk
league of anything IKEA ;D
Beautiful fishes
I would put a real small octopus, small starfish, sea sponge and some tiny jellyfish
how can u do that toasted art last time i try to do that for my fish the shelf fell and my fish died:(
You should have got your shelf at IKEA
Sweet aquariam
Thanks :)
Awsome video but tank that big above the gaming set up is a no no no no for me !! 😱
Fantastic
MINI JOOBS Thanks 😊
Did u make the Patrick’s rock
Plubby 2222 I did indeed 😊
I thought you are going to put in a crab, a sponge, a starfish and a octopus XD
Fiesta Potato Haha good idea, but would it not be a squid :P
Toasted Fan Art Yeah sure I just forgot the name 😅
I live in Ireland too and am just wondering where did you get that glass?
Just off a dude my Dad knows who fits windows for a living. He just cut up a few bits for me pretty cheap. I'm sure if you go to your local glass cutter/window maker you could get some too. Best of luck!
@@ToastedFanArt cheers pal
What are you going to do with the plecos when they get big
They aren't plecos I was misinformed by the pet shop. They are hill stream loaches and wont get any bigger.
I want to make one too now lol. It came out really well! How long have you had the fish? They look really healthy and happy!
Hannag Thanks so much I'm glad you like it :D I've had them about a year and a half now, they are getting so fat though which is great but I think I'll need to build them an even bigger tank in like 6 months haha
Personally, I would NEVER trust my fish tank above my computer.
Why did you put two pieces of glass on de bottom of the tank please?
Sara Made Art Studio This video explains it pretty well :)
ua-cam.com/video/VH3gccVPTO4/v-deo.html
I love sponge Bob!!!!
You should get starfish and name it patrick
Amazinggg
Thanks! 😊
I like the rock the best.
Cheers!
I had this as a kid.
ur soo good at yt and ur the best
this is so cute for my fish
I may be commenting a little late but the paint on the houses may dissolve
So far so good. They are sold for this purpose so I should hope the paint is water proof.
Ok
that was amazing
Thanks for the update on this order was placed
Hgxhehdh
this is so cool
Extreme Subtlety Aw thanks I'm really glad you think so 😊
I would remove the arrow on the Patrick house. Goldfish are know to injure themselevs!
Yeah I had that thought when making it so I made it from a plastic brush bristle. That way it's very flexible for when the fish bump into it.
@@ToastedFanArt Oh good :)
Did you acclimate those fish before you added them to the tank
SoulPlayz I did indeed
Where'd you order the glass from and/or why didn't just purchase a 20 long and remove the black boarders?
Cardboard Box Got the glass from a local window maker in my town and there's lots of reasons to build it, main one being that I run a build channel and saw it as a great opportunity for a video. It's also cheaper and allowed me to deaign the size to fit the space just how I wanted. Thanks for watching.
YOUR FISH ARE SO CUT-
Hey I don’t think that self is strong enough
R.I.P Stephen Hillenburg
What are your two goldfish's names
This is amazing but how would you clean it
Savanna Rider Same way you clean any tank lol
Seems like a scary place to put a fish tank
collin cooper it is ;)
I hope you acclimated the water before hand
Nice 👍
where did you get the patrick's rock from?
Who else immediately skipped towards the end for the results lmao
Where did you buy the glass from?
What kind of grass are you using??
How big is that tank? Cause the goldfish are HUGE
Big enough for their current size and they will get another when needed
I love your Attack On Titan hoodie 😍
Deimos So many people have said that, I'm starting to think I should do an Attack on Titan video...
How did you make the patrick star house?
wow
арбузик N 3 thanks 😊
Super
Thanks 😁
Are you sure those are plecos? They honestly look like reticulated stream lined loaches, and those guys need a super clean environment with hillstream type filtration....
Clustern xx Yeah someone already let me know thanks it's in the description :)
Toasted Fan Art oh! Sorry, I was just checking. I hope your tank is going well.
Clustern xx No problem, yeah it's going great! Although the fish are growing so fast in their new environment I think I'll need to make an even bigger tank in a few months haha
Lol imagine if you got a pink sea star, a sea sponge, a small squid, a red crab, a large sea snail, and a squirrel (hmm maybe not Lol)
4EverWolf You had me till the last one 😂😂😂 lmao
Where from you got that spong Bob stuff
How did you make Patrick’s rock ?
Increíble tu acuario te as ganado un like y un nuevo suscriptor
