Ep.14 Peppermint Betta Tank (Attack of Cyanobacteria) No filter, No CO2, NO ferts Nano Tank
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2020
- Kartoffel is a wild betta species called Mahachai betta. The lettuce started out strong, then ended up withering away. I can only guess that it’s probably b/c of from lack of nutrients. I added regular duckweed, and it also would not grow. I think adding the pearl grass made other plants not grow very well. It probably sucks up too much nutrients from the tank.
The bumblebee nerite didn’t make it through the cyano phase of this tank. It wasn’t the slime stain remover’s fault. I was going to add another nerite, but I didn’t want it to get harassed by Kartoffel either. The bumblebee rarely came out because of Kartoffel the entire time.
A snail egg must have been in one of the duckweed that I added from Dante’s tank. That same type of snail has spread like wildfire in there. Interestingly, Kartoffel never messes with it.
Peppermint is doing great for now. Only time will tell if they’ll end up like the lettuce.

Kartoffel meeting the nerite
>:-(
Kartoffel meeting the hopscotcher snail
:-)
Sad to hear the nerite died. It had a good life in your tank.
He was a real champion
Kartoffel had something to do with it I'm sure
the best life*
WOW... spoilers much?
@@chubbycatbrian3918 don't read the comments until you're done watching then
*guitar plays*
me: hmm that sounds like the nokia sound ya know...
That song is actually the original Nokia sound! They took it and simplified it for the ringtone, but the classical piece is the original :)
That's a cool fun fact.
"Gran vals" by Francisco Tárrega.
YES!
Here it is:

I love your cats expression when you handed him a strawberry. lol
ΣHAANTI - Virtual Environment that seems to be Curry’s expression a lot of the time😉😂😂😂😂❤️❤️

The cat: :/
😹😹😹😹
glad to be ur 666th likes
R.i.p Bumblebee Nerite... I will remember you my friend T-T. At least the cyano is vainquished and Kartoffel seems happy with his new roomates.
Quarantine day 646863: I'm mourning a nerite.
(I actually remember it fleeing from Kartoffel and accidentally getting stabbed because it was too scared and yet I can't tell what I had for breakfast today).
@KeanuBodypillo g it certainly feels like
Getting stabbed??
@@Aleshanation yeah, by a pointy piece of plant if I remember correctly
I'm sorry.
The tender and care makes me love this channel so much. Especially during these times.
i know right! so calming.
Yess
Yep
The reign of lettuce is over.
Long live the peppermint!
lol i wanna see you comment slaughterhouse video xD earthlings, cowspiracy, what the health
I’ve been wrestling with cyanobacteria for more than a month and this guy just gets rid of it in one water change. I have a lot to learn.
He killed them with chemicals that's not sustainable. If he doesn't find the reason why they came up, they will return
Common causes are low flow/circulation, build up of organic waste and in planted tanks low (yes I said low) nitrates. A combination of manual removal, water changes, a 3 day back-out and the above should see it gone. Good luck.
@@6RadaR6 I agree. It's about the balance between nitrate, phosphate and potassium. Low nitrate means the plants are not able to consume phosphate. That is an advantage to the cyanos
@@brightstar0815 my tap water has like 6 nitrate lol is that good
@@eminemilly Nitrate should be between 10 and 30 mgl, phosphate 0,1 - 1mgl and potassium 10-20mgl. This is what I try to achieve. But it depends. If you have much/lower light, adding CO2 or not, fast growing plants, no plants at all... Every tank is different.
Your videos are beautiful!
Quem diria encontrar com o mestre por aqui
Why is no one questioning why u are here lol
プレイヤーは今日です 🍜✨
Eae vinheteiro andando por estas terras?
Honestly did not expect you’d be here. Wow
This uploads are a truly Joy of life!
i even dont want this video to end :D
I am usually only interested in games like dark souls and doom, but I never thought I would be so interested in this guys aquarium. Very cool.
"Thank you so much for watching."
Me: No I am thanking you for letting me watch it 🥺❤
I wonder why and how it started that people's comments ask themselves something. I guess it's a little mini conversation. It has really caught on
🥺🥺
Anxiety: *exists
Foo the Flowerhorn: "no more"
Who else watched this immediately after getting the notification? This is the only channel where I do that. 😀
Check out 'Featureman '. He is very enjoyable to watch too !
I was working when the notification popped. This is not a channel where you can only listen to it. I mean, the music is nice, but that's not the point of this channel.
Maybe Kartoffel didnt attack the snail because it reminded him of the Nerite :'(
He didn't appreciate the nerite until it was gone 😭😭😭
thats sad
I feel my heart crack.
whyy he's gone :(
During a time I was temporarily bedridden, you taught me to love the ongoing evolution of an aquarium. I hope you never stop posting!
Peppermint is very good now that area will smell like peppermint 😁🌱
Do fishies have a personality? I think they do.
nah they dumb
They do
@@handofmidas9609 you are
Fish are animals just like us
If they feel scared or pissed they attack you
Francisco Tárrega - Gran Vals... Not just “the Nokia song”, but a beautiful peace of classical music as well.
Just what I needed. Hope y’all are staying safe! 💜
Yes thanks for asking 🙏
😊
Mom: why are you crying
Me: The lettuce didn't make it
In this times of total chaos... you dont know how much ive waited for you 💙
Ahhhhh.
Time for another dose of pure relaxation and bliss
( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Oh gosh I’m on the wholesome side of UA-cam again
I recently took two cuttings off a mint plant, placed the bottom of the stems in the water and about two months later they’ve grown long roots (attached themselves onto the bogwood) and there’s now five stems that are over double the height they used to be! This is going to be my new way of growing mint as it grows so much faster than in a pot.. I guess it also helps with nitrates
it’s also worth noting that the mint flopped over and seemed to wilt for the first couple of days then suddenly sprung back up again, but strange but it grew in the end!
I have been growing mint in my tank. the guppys I have eat it faster than it will grow.
Some plants are able to be cloned, That's how they started growing. Aquaponics(growing in water) is the best for cloning plants.
Another thing I should try. Thanks for the hint
I had a question, I see that he uses a heater in his tank as the fish needs 26 C, but there is no flowing water in the tank. Will the heater still heat the tank efficiently?
these videos really help with my anxiety and depression, they're really therapeutic, thanks so much for the content and keep it up! I hope I can do something like this very soon
Whenever I’m having insomnia, I’ll watch these videos. I’ve been doing this since 2020. Thank you for keeping me company throughout the night.
I curl up in a giant blanket, put on noise cancelling headphones (Which I would like to add, I bought specifically for this channel) and proceed to ignore everything and everyone until its over. It's my get away and I live for every video you post.
RIP your Nerite, i'm glad the cyano was taken care of at least
Haven't had a Nokia phone in over a decade and still recognized the tune instantly.
Me too, definitely caught my attention.
Your channel really helps relax and ground me when things get to be too much. Thank you so much for your channel.
These videos touch my soul in such a meaningful way. I hope you never stop making these videos.. and hope for other people to get inspired by you so this form of art is carried on for a very long time to come.
I’m sorry to hear about your nerite I always loved seeing him and kartoffel, i do hope the mint makes it 😇
I love these videos, so relaxing
Don’t ever stop making these videos. I miss my aquarium and this makes it all better. Very well done and just so soothing. I appreciate it!!
This channel has been keeping me entertained during online school, its been about half a year since then, but now were back in lockdown, and im glad there are new videos up!
I wait for your video like everyday. New music, new update. Nice!
I never realised the beauty of a snail..until now😊
Can't believe I've been following this tank for a year now :) time sure does fly!
Love your videos they always bring me peace.
Thank you so, so much for these videos. Tonight marked the end of a very long and stressful school year and I was overjoyed to find a new video waiting for me! I began watching your videos during the fall semester (when I thought things were already hectic) and have not missed one since! There have been days during this school year when the only thing that has helped me unwind were your aquariums. Thank for sharing and thank you for helping me find a peaceful spot in the chaos!
Perfect timing for a new vid! ❤️
Best video of today.. needed a happy video. You did it. Makes me want a fishy. And a snail. Thank you for this. 🥰
Your videos drive my stress straight out the window screaming for mercy. thank you.
It is insane how good you are at all of this. Seriously. These videos are the definition of quality.
Watching the ads for the you and your fish 😂 thank you, hope you're safe and healthy!
Same
This channel is good for the soul. RIP bumblebee nerite ;-;
Thank you so much for your videos. They are such a balm of peace on these uncertain times.
i always come to this channel when im feeling hopeless. the videos are so simple and calming, so cool. thanks
Ooooh peppermint! I'm excited to see where this tank is going and how long the peppermint survives. I've been watching since this tank was only a few weeks old and I'm very invested.
RIP nerite T.T I have the feeling Kartoffel hired a hitman on it and is the culprit behind the cyanobacteria so that he wouldn't be around when the hitman strikes, so nobody would accuse him.
Maybe he likes the new snail better because of the different shape. Maybe Kartoffel just doesn't like round things?
Me: watches the video with tenderness
Also me: touches his pockets looking for his ringing nokia
thank you for the dedication and time you put into your tanks and videos. it’s the highlight of my week to see your video in my feed. thank you.
These videos keep me here, they're so peaceful and they can make anyone feel just a little bit better
The nerite was my favorite character.
0:55 me when im about go on the first date after quarantine is over
I love it when your notifications pop up on my phone. Makes my whole day brighter.
I adore you videos. Tasteful and tranquil tunes playing as we see the life of the tankflora and tankfauna. Simply wonderful.
I could honestly watch a livestream of this. My eyes need it. Seen too much in the last week T-T
That is such a good idea!
need me some daily dose of fish
everytime you post a video my mood gets so much better. Thank you so much for your amazing content
I've been watching your videos for a long time. I absolutely love them!
Wait, you be telling me he grew his own strawberries in a fish tank?
he did, and I'm so jelous of you for having all those old videos ahead to watch!
2:34 nokia theme
This is the greatest channel to just clear your mind, thank you
Thank you foo. You get me thru the night sometimes. I really love your videos.
That's not fair. Nice fresh shrimps for Dante and for Kartoffel : something out of the freezer.
3:27 looks like HowToBasic
is this the peaceful side of HowToBasic?
You're videos are so calming.
It always makes me smile when you upload a new video 😊
Put everything you used in the description so people can copy!
what made you try peppermint? can you smell it in the room? Cheers
You can only smell it if you touch or rub it. But when you do it smells lovely, and the scent is strong :) like tea
Mint grows extremely well with roots in water. You can't really smell it just in the air, but brushing up against it and of course trimming it, it releases that minty fresh goodness
@@negautrunks sounds great :)
@@LEE-kq9tq i might have to try some next to my pothos
Yeah Mint is the only plant i've ever had any luck with lol. it grows extremely well in almost any environment
i watch these whenever i have a headache or feel down. they make me so happy. thank you
I could watch your videos all day long, they are so relaxing.
4:09 Is that hydra I see?
And they're so big 😲
Are those good or bad?
@@frank14725 I heard those things can catch small animals such as baby shrimp.
Anti-cyanobacteria-stuff is bad for snails. I hope it did warn on the packaging/instructions.
Rip Nerite, we shall remember it.
Your videos on quarantine time are bliss. Thanks!
Thank you! I love this. Your videos are really calming me down. Keep going, and be well!
Its real nice to see your channel grow so much and see the hard work put into these videos
I watch videos from this channel before and after exam. It's so calming :)
Absolutely love your videos, you inspired me to start my own filterless tank (first tank ever) and after 2.5 months its still going strong
I forgot how much I love these videos. Thank you ♡
Another wonderful video 🤗
I always wanted to tell you, that your videos helped me a lot when I had anxiety attacks! They are pure therapy 😄
Nice to have you back!
That was so soothing to watch😌I’m glad things worked out nicely at the end with the Peppermint tank.
this channel gives me endless serotonin.
This is the most wholesome and calming channel, thank you so much
I feel like these videos are never long enough. 😒 I could watch your videos for hours 🥰
Thank you for the update 👍Your video is always soothing and relaxing 😌 😍
How can someone dislike these videos...?
Thanks again for sharing and your storytelling.
Its so satisfying in this stressful and busy world to watch your videos and just thinking about nothing for some minutes..
Thanks ♥️
Kartoffel is gorgeous. Your setup is so serene -- I love watching (2nd tiime thru).
I don’t understand anything that goes on but it’s extremely satisfying and helps me sleep so thank you
I love watching your videos. I'm sorry for your loss
These are the very few types of videos that I wouldn't mind being an hour long, PLEASE MAKE THEM LONGER(without stressing yourself of course).
just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work you put into your tanks and filming
I forget about you and then I return to a real delight of a video. Thanks for cheering me up.
Always at my most peace when watching your videos
I'm hooked! One of your videos came up in my YT feed randomly, and since then I've watched very single video. So relaxing 😊 And I love the music, especially the Nokia ringtone song. Can't wait for future content!
Omg I had forgotten about ur Channel and ur beta thank its been so long . It’s nice to see ur still doing it :)
