Добавлен 27 апр 2017
My channel is dedicated to the sharing of biotope aquaria and freshwater habitats from across the world.
I aim to promote the idea of natural-style and biotope aquaria for fish-keepers, and to educate people on the many amazing species of fish and plants which can be used to create stunning, natural-looking aquaria.
I also intend to highlight wild habitats to inspire and educate, while celebrating the richness and diversity of freshwater life on our planet.

Affordable Planted Aquarium Setup: Part 2
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Hi guys, here's an update of my Aquatropic Aquarium, which I set up a few months ago with my good friend James Sampson. The tank is doing well, with plants slowly but steadily flourishing under the Interpet Lights and aided by the ARKA bio Co2 system and daily dose of Tropica Premium Fertiliser. The inhabitants of the tank are a bit an eclectic mix, but certainly make it lively! I hope you enjo...

Hi guys! Here I set up an Aquatropic 160 aquarium, which was kindly donated, along with an additional light unit, by Interpet. I am joined by my old friend James Sampson, as we put together a planted tank using 'easy plants', medium lighting, bio-Co2 and in a tank which doesn't cost the earth.

Exploring a seasonal aquatic habitat in Brazil
The colours look fantastic Tai other than the aquatropic bright white you specified in part 1; what is the other strip you have on the tank?
Very natural & beautiful setup, pearl gouramis are native from where I am, we call them 'sepat rimba' or forest gourami
Wonderful..less is more....
Wow you found stiphodon percnopterygionus! I didn't know they could be found in the Philippines, amazing find!
Your book is on order.......already hoping for a vol 2.
Bardo ładne akwarium. Pozdrawiam😁
Curious if there any corydoras sp. found in the Pantanal? Also have you seen Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi in the Pantanal?
i wouldnt call this dense planting for this kind of fish :I
Nice layout! Looks like an aquarium from a 1950's TFH magazine!
👍
I'm very excited for your book release! This will be an amazing benefit for the community.
So simple and so beautiful!
Another artistic natural aquascape. Is cleanliness really natural though?
This is my kind of tank, or one of my favorites. M. kubotai is also one of my favorites. Earlier today, I actually purchased 24 more to increase the shoal I have in a 150 liter low boy aquarium. Tank mates are yellow Neo shrimp. Thanks for sharing this. Sparking imagination is always great.
Tai, I do have a pre-order in for your book. My I request you add a link for others that may be interested in pre-ordering?
when is the book coming out?
Feb 2025
top... 😉👍👍👍
Extraordinary as always Sir ❤
Beautiful!
Much lovein the tank mate. Well done.
how could someone not like such a simple but nice layout? :)
I like it.
This video made me feel good.
and that makes ME feel good, I'm really glad you enjoyed it :D
Kudos
Great video. Will be very useful for me. Audio quality let it down a bit
Really awesome 🤩
When you showed us the bromeliads, there were some very small orchids attached to the rock, under the shrub as you look out over the waterfall.
The vision of you moving against the flow gave some beautiful effects.
Nice 😊😁
nahh thats crazy. we need more pollution over there rn
Pemandangan taman bawah air yg sangat indah dan luar biasa. Belum pernah saya lihat yang seperti ini, begitu menenangkan seakan ikut terlarut dalam suasana saat anda meenyelam.
As wonderful as the video is, the voice over is poetic and soothing. Well Done!
amazing view... full of life.... and death. a passion to evolve!
Male or female identity How?
the moment you dive into the water is amzing man! love your videos so much! I was just orgasom in my brain some how
the light makes everything so perfect just like a medieval oil painting. And you Biotopia, a master of diving videographer
Hermoso!
Looking forward to the book.
The waters are so clear, i expected them to be full of silt, really awesome!
It was so cool bro
Bora marcar @Bonfim ?
Great biotope, hoping you can do the Brazilian highlands one.Maybe with house plants overhanging. Looking forward to the book.
Are there any sort of crustaceans that would fit in such a biotope fishtank?
Beautiful tank, love it ❤
Very nice breakdown, T
It's humbling to hear someone admit to not having much experience with nano tanks instead of bragging about how they only work with giant tanks because nanos are beneath them.
Very beautiful scapes Tai! Can't wait for that book!!
Great video. Gorgeous tank. Loving it!
My book is pre-ordered! Glad too - because I'm pretty sure this will become one of those hard to find collectors items - For my own personal collection of course!!
I wish we would see more setups in the aquarium world like this one. Looks amazing
richtig schöne aquarien dabei... 😍👍👍👍
