I had one more question. My betta is pretty agressive (sometimes even tries to pick on the snail I have). Are there any fish I can add to the tank that have a better chance of not being picked on by my betta?
I'm 12 minutes into this livestream and am realising I've done the exact opposite of everything Cory's recommended, lol. I like to tell myself that my tank isn't perfectly aquascaped, but it mimics what the natural environment would look like...it helps me sleep at night.
It’s like fashion, just be confident with what you have. Maintain and keep your tank looking great and others will assume your tank choices and placements were super trendy.
I've been watching your videos for a while and I gotta say the salt-and-pepper hair looks really good on you. Also, I really appreciate all the honesty and not just pushing product.
As a self taught artist who now works for theme parks building and painting for theme parks. Aquascaping is what got me to want to get an aquarium after my pond. Seeing the plants go and getting a better perspective.... really nice field to be in.
Getting ready to set up my second and third planted tanks. Learned a lot from my first this past year. I’ve been completely focused on just growing plants. Now I can focus more on the “scape”. This video was absolute perfect timing!
Caught the replay. Great scape advice for beginners. Sassy is adorable as taco dog. Dorkula looks fabulous in 50's housewife clothes. That dress was so pretty on her. 👍💕👍
Thank you for an outstanding live-stream. I could not stay for all of it, but I did watch the entire replay. I think you did an excellent service to many, who can be misguided, and then discouraged by shiny videos, not understanding the commitment in time and resources, and patience it takes. And that often the aquariums seen are set up with the intent for videography or photographing, and then taken down, not to be maintained long term.
I’ve always loved looking at aquascapes but I am a perfectionist and if something doesn’t work out it leaves me very frustrated. So I have opted for a low-tech planted tank where I randomly put whatever wherever and I think the real fun is watching the fish interact with the plants. I love seeing them weave in and out of the stems. This works much better for me but when I buy a bigger tank I will attempt to “aquascape”.
I have to agree with you on the solo betta, especially in Splendens. I've tried keeping a male and female together as well, and it works out alright for about a week before one of the two starts nipping at the other more than I'm comfortable with.
1:35:50 I've seen this before. They look like mini jellyfish and are pretty interesting creatures. It was hard to find any documentation on them as they are exceedingly rare. They are not hydra. They also are not harmful to nano fish and usually go away after some time. If they persist I would stop feeding the tank for a week and feed lightly until they are gone.
@Aquarium Co-OP My Loricaria whiptail cats when new, did not eat either for almost a week. I tried everything & was at my wits end. What ended up working was leaving lights off for days, putting white worms in at night (they live 2 days in water), and keeping tank temp at 72.9. I lost 2/3rds of my stock but now, shrimp pellets, white worms & flake are eaten. Frozen & freeze dried blood worms are still not eaten. I don't see feeding but it's gone in morning. Driftwood, mulberry & catappa leaves, java moss, crinum c, rock & caves & med flow with slightly soft water. Daphnia and seed shrimp are in the water ( I can't tell if they are being eaten). I'm still trying algae wafers. I can now turn lights on daily. Hope this helps.
carpeting plants that take years to fill in are the best. You get to tell your friends your working on it and give it a couple years, and like a year later you say yeah i still got a few years to go and years down the road when it is all filled in they will tell everyone about the years long dedication you put in to get that sick looking tank.
I always love listening to Cory and Aquarium Coop! He never disappoints! Although, for anyone later watching this who may also be wondering about algae control in a crayfish tank, I may be able to help. Crayfish are super individual in personalities, so it depends on yours. I've been lucky in that all 3 of the Procambrus crayfish I've had have been super chill dudes (Excluding when I did have some dwarf crays that were little terrors once, so small is not always better). My big crays never bothered my plants, shrimp, snails, fish. My current one I'm actually gonna get some bottom dwellers for his tank finally since he's pretty much proved he won't bother anyone. (Although do keep them well fed, he did get a little cranky during my move when we all went without food for several days; there was a close call but he did not eat anyone). I always test it out with a few faster/agile fish that stay higher level in the tank (and non-expensive!) with my snails and shrimp. If all goes well we can keep adding. It's never a guarantee, but generally, I'll take that chance. Also, most of my algae problems stemmed from some nutrient deficiencies (namely iron and potassium), once I included that with my easy green dosing everything righted itself.
I know this is super old but I feel you on the dying fish. We got some cardinals from a not so good store and one was super small and we named him colossus and he didn't make the week and I was so sad
@@MrToncy99 is makes the bubbles much finer, almost mist-like. The basswood, or branches from Tilia gives the best results, search the term "dyfuzor z lipy", and just watch, don't be afraid of the weird language. ;) It's absolutely easy and cheap to make from a piece of wood, and a big syringe.
You're right in that it's hard to find much in between "super high-tech meticulous aquascape with CO2 and very expensive ADA/Twinstar/Kessil lighting" and "cheap looking tank with plastic tanks." That's why I like guys like Foo the Flowerhorn and Serpadesign (though he's mostly a terrarium/paludarium guy), who make very beautiful yet natural looking scapes with minimal tech. I personally prefer the more naturalistic style over the "trying to make the tank look like a terrestrial landscape" style (although it's still very impressive). It helps that it's a lot cheaper as well.
Maybe showcase a beginners ten or twenty gallon aquascape to display in the store instead. Use beginners plants and stuff that are easy and do not need all that? I'm going slow however....learned it's more important to find good substrate....and water parameters along with what I'm learning now about the calcium....you know KH GH all that.....beginners don't know that stuff matters too...maybe with the wonder shell in it too. Maybe some male guppies etc or easier fish as well in them.
If you have big ol bear paw hands, a pair of stainless kitchen tongs with silicone jaw covers or chop sticks can help a lot when building your tank. It’s not tweezers, but it’s better than ginormous hands sometimes
Hi Cory, I just wanted to know if you had a sand substrate within the bamboo whiptail tank, they might like to bury themselves like the chameleon whiptail and may not feel comfortable without it. Having lots of dither fish above them might help as well and I think you can also contact Jeremy Basch as he was working with lip brooders last time I checked. Best of luck Cory hopefully they eat soon.
As far as bow front aquariums, what I've done in gotten stands from Home Depot or Menards, and turn them around. You create a depth that's pretty unique, and it doesn't Warp
I'm not aquascaping, but I just like the look. I absolutely hate the way those tanks distort the fish and plants, and I've found this is the best way to cope LOL At least the tank was free
"Heres all of the books i wish i had time to read" while you are on a livestream for two hours ;) hahahaahahaha love your videos man ive been in the hobby since i was a youngin and found your channel and im hooked lol. I have only have a 45 gallon and 20 gallon but there will def be more to come soon! Keep bringin the good content!
@Aquarium Co-Op the new fish not eating have you tried using Algae or garlic with foods with the new Catfish. If you haven't tried so far grow natural algae alot of fish and free food to grow algae. Placing wood/rocks outside in aquarium water with ferts added to grow natural algae use sealed plastic bags,tubs,bath tubs etc. The garlic method using vegetables Spinach,Broccoli(Stem),Cauliflower,pumpkin,zuccinn/Courgettei,squash etc (For others that haven't tried before you pull cooking time at half point to what you serve for yourself and use organic/home grown if you can,some can fowl water so water changes may need doing after removal overnight ie place in at dinner time removal before breakfast)
It's all about balance. If you have black rim then put a black thing on bottom. Use lots of small lights to create shadows and depth and different rocks but remember balance in colour and pattern. Use mirrors to create space. Look at every sqare of you aquarium and make sure each square makes your eyes move easly to the next square. It should all flow together. Use wood to enhance with pattern and colour. Plants should never cover anything completely. Half close your eyes and look, what jumps out at you? Does it jump out to much that other things don't get any attention. Look at everything as a pattern.
Formula 1 NASCAR...? Love ya Cory, but Don't quit your day job...! Those are two VERY different cars and series... Thanks for being you Cory...! We all laughed here, good stuff...! Keep up your awesomeness...!
I might have missed it when watching 'cause I'm in the UK and it's always super late on when I see these streams but was there mention of good substrate for a planted scaped tank? I do like how most darker or mix sand substrate looks but I remember you saying it kinda sucks for rooting on plants because of how compacted it gets and I just wonder what kinda options I have there. Thanks for all your videos!
Yes 100 neon tetras look amazing together but what I prefer is 50 black neons and 50 regular neons because those two species look so similar but completely different and they school together as one species💯🐠🌱💙🔥
Well... I my opinion if you have co2 in your tank, it like beating a cold with antibiotics. You don't want to use too much, or too little. And as a bonus, with healthy beautiful plants, you get a lot of trimmings, and som plants can be re-plantet. = new SKILLS and save MONEY!! 🤑
:( i didnt get a notification, i even stayed up late (here in the UK) i am so glad that goldfish are coming back in, they are so gorgeous in a cold water tank. Hugs to @Dorkula and @Cory, pissed i missed you though. xx
I've just thrown a bunch of water column feeders in my first tank. Really enjoying the plants more than I thought I would, but I want my tank as low maintenance as I can get it
So someone mentioned they would like a book to tell them buy these plants and these water parameters... look for “The Natural Aquarium by Satoshi Yoshino and Doshin Kobayashi, I picked my copy up several years ago at a used book store for $ 5.00. But still online
Grate video Cory I hope I can meet you in the uk I December I would love to see you big fan grate video as always maybe take to George Farmer about where to do a meet up maybe near London or Kent would be good
Wouldn't it be sweet if you could create "groups" of lights in the Fluval app so that you could export the same preset to multiple lights at once rather than having to go in and out of different lights? I know it isn't a feature everybody would use, but for people like Cory running multiple lights on a single large aquarium, it would be a MASSIVE time saver.
I have a 29g planted tank with Guppy's, White Clouds, Neon Tetra's, and Neocaridina's. When I trim my Amazon Sword plant should I pull the clippings out or leave them in as leaf litter for the shrimp? Wasn't sure what the best practices are on that and could use some guidance.
I have a 5 g, currently cycling... I'll be transferring my Betta and 3 neon Bettas once it's ready...I want to start slow with live plants, there are silk in there currently.....what are your thoughts on aquatic pots! Two or three in there.... it's a Fluval Chi...with updated lights and filter..thank you
Can I use branches from my oak tree? They are old ones that have fallen down and are completely dried out all bark removed and I've boiled them and am now drying them in the sun before I soak them again.
Not a aquascaping question but a VERY important question I have needed answers for for a loong time. How often do you absolutly have to trim your lionhead's wam? I have heard sometimes you don't need to do it at all? How do i know how to pick one with a wam that does not need trimming in the future? And do you think both fish will be happy if I add one lionhead goldfish in my 50 gallon tank with my black moore goldfish? (one BM and two huge applesnails, they have lived togheter since i rescued the black moore as a baby. Got her 50% off cause' she would have died the next days beeing three times smaller than everyone else not to mention the tank beeing 30 gallon with 25 diffrent goldfish all biting the weakest, so small and skinny compared to the others, almost giving up, just kept floating to the top. The girl working there mocked me for buying a ''dead fish'' to her co-workers straight in front of me.. She is now BIG, chuncky and happy. Super healthy, strong and confident so I feel like she is ready for some fishy company!
Hi Corey I kinda need ur help u have a 105l aquarium been having problems with growing plants I have fertilized and have an airborne do I need to add co2

There's really no wrong way. Its all about your taste and what u think looks good

My love for this dude is endless, you just cant hate the guy
Corey is the most important part of my new 125 gallon. The equipment and fish don't compare to the knowledge to keep them alive and beautiful!!

pro diy tip: wooden dowel pins work wonders as a co2 defuser.
howcome ?
@@MrToncy99 is makes the bubbles much finer, almost mist-like. The basswood, or branches from Tilia gives the best results, search the term "dyfuzor z lipy", and just watch, don't be afraid of the weird language. ;) It's absolutely easy and cheap to make from a piece of wood, and a big syringe.
@@provostkhot if I knew it earlier I wouldnt pay 15 € for defuser hahahh. But thanks I will try it and hopefully it ends up working.
You can buy filters by the bag for roll your own cigarettes these work really well also
Loved this live, so many great tips and can’t wait to start my aquascape, I’m doing a forest themed tank. Also sassy 😍 so cute
With co2?
Cory......YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!! Thanks for the great info. Watch almost everyday!!
You're right in that it's hard to find much in between "super high-tech meticulous aquascape with CO2 and very expensive ADA/Twinstar/Kessil lighting" and "cheap looking tank with plastic tanks."

I love playing catch up with old shows.
👍💓👍
I use live plants in all my tanks except my cichlids. But I am just going to try my first aquascape in my 10 gallon. So I'm excited to watch this.
love your analogies man, simple but genius if followed ;)
This is perfect for me, thank you so much!!
Cory you look really good with a beard
Chihuahuas fit in guinea pig costumes! I buy those when xxs is sold out.😂
This is a great idea.
Great livestream as always Cory, I look forward to it a heap each week mate.🤘
Great livestream as always Cory, I look forward to it a heap each week mate.🤘
Maybe showcase a beginners ten or twenty gallon aquascape to display in the store instead. Use beginners plants and stuff that are easy and do not need all that? I'm going slow however....learned it's more important to find good substrate....and water parameters along with what I'm learning now about the calcium....you know KH GH all that.....beginners don't know that stuff matters too...maybe with the wonder shell in it too. Maybe some male guppies etc or easier fish as well in them.
If you have big ol bear paw hands, a pair of stainless kitchen tongs with silicone jaw covers or chop sticks can help a lot when building your tank. It’s not tweezers, but it’s better than ginormous hands sometimes
I want to learn how to get started with substrate.
Thunderdome haha Corys awesome!
Hi Cory, I just wanted to know if you had a sand substrate within the bamboo whiptail tank, they might like to bury themselves like the chameleon whiptail and may not feel comfortable without it. Having lots of dither fish above them might help as well and I think you can also contact Jeremy Basch as he was working with lip brooders last time I checked. Best of luck Cory hopefully they eat soon.
Giant tank full of Orandas = AWESOME!!!
As far as bow front aquariums, what I've done in gotten stands from Home Depot or Menards, and turn them around. You create a depth that's pretty unique, and it doesn't Warp
I'm not aquascaping, but I just like the look. I absolutely hate the way those tanks distort the fish and plants, and I've found this is the best way to cope LOL
At least the tank was free

Josh Sims congo jungle tank, its on another level
Fukada and Sims are amazing scapers
You're a true philosopher, just saying. It goes beyond aquascaping... so, yeah!
It's all about balance. If you have black rim then put a black thing on bottom. Use lots of small lights to create shadows and depth and different rocks but remember balance in colour and pattern.

I might have missed it when watching 'cause I'm in the UK and it's always super late on when I see these streams but was there mention of good substrate for a planted scaped tank?

Yes 100 neon tetras look amazing together but what I prefer is 50 black neons and 50 regular neons because those two species look so similar but completely different and they school together as one species💯🐠🌱💙🔥
Well... I my opinion if you have co2 in your tank, it like beating a cold with antibiotics. You don't want to use too much, or too little.
And as a bonus, with healthy beautiful plants, you get a lot of trimmings, and som plants can be re-plantet. = new SKILLS and save MONEY!! 🤑
I have the same lighting issue with the black hinge. One day I’ll make my own clear hinge or something…
Thank You very helpfull hints ,just started with aquascaping and its fun! lol so far

Thank you for this video 🌱🙌🌸
Lol ! VW vs The Flux capacitor , new customer in the wing Cory ! Cheers from Ohio brother !
This video had so many great tips! But would be so much better with pictures
I've just thrown a bunch of water column feeders in my first tank. Really enjoying the plants more than I thought I would, but I want my tank as low maintenance as I can get it
So someone mentioned they would like a book to tell them buy these plants and these water parameters... look for “The Natural Aquarium by Satoshi Yoshino and Doshin Kobayashi, I picked my copy up several years ago at a used book store for $ 5.00. But still online
I have the exact same blue water bottle!
If you decide to go further north when you come to the UK, Wharf Aquatics in Nottingham is a great store.
Grate video Cory I hope I can meet you in the uk I December I would love to see you big fan grate video as always maybe take to George Farmer about where to do a meet up maybe near London or Kent would be good
I did love that tank, when it had Tiger Barbs. Its your tank, I have no say about what you put in it.
Wouldn't it be sweet if you could create "groups" of lights in the Fluval app so that you could export the same preset to multiple lights at once rather than having to go in and out of different lights?

My current favorite is a piece of floating drift wood.
Hey Cory. If you can do a meet an greet in the UK, please give plenty of notice !
I have crawfish and they don’t attack my fish and I have Japanese trapdoor snails and they don’t get eaten
I am six plus years on my substrate with plants. Never changed out any of the substrate.
The only time I expect free shipping is when I spend over $100.
Instead of tweezers i have found that it is pretty easy just to use the chopsticks meant for kids 😂
Recently bought rocks from your website store ~ love them !
Another fantastic video.
thank you so much!! you have been so helpful =)
Your wife looks so pretty in her dress!

1/3rd looks good because in nature things aren’t symmetrical
Can I use branches from my oak tree? They are old ones that have fallen down and are completely dried out all bark removed and I've boiled them and am now drying them in the sun before I soak them again.
Not a aquascaping question but a VERY important question I have needed answers for for a loong time. How often do you absolutly have to trim your lionhead's wam? I have heard sometimes you don't need to do it at all? How do i know how to pick one with a wam that does not need trimming in the future? And do you think both fish will be happy if I add one lionhead goldfish in my 50 gallon tank with my black moore goldfish? (one BM and two huge applesnails, they have lived togheter since i rescued the black moore as a baby. Got her 50% off cause' she would have died the next days beeing three times smaller than everyone else not to mention the tank beeing 30 gallon with 25 diffrent goldfish all biting the weakest, so small and skinny compared to the others, almost giving up, just kept floating to the top. The girl working there mocked me for buying a ''dead fish'' to her co-workers straight in front of me.. She is now BIG, chuncky and happy. Super healthy, strong and confident so I feel like she is ready for some fishy company!
If 60 mph is fast to you don't even think about coming to Atlanta
