Just a short video where the galaxy danios (aka celestial pearl danios, aka galaxy rasboras) and cherry red shrimp devour a meal. For the danios, it’s Bug Bites granules and powder, for the neocaridina shrimps it’s a piece…

I never expected just how potent having mud from the wild under my substrate would be. The plants in my tank just keep growing. Today I decided it was time to tidy things up so I can see…

This short gives an overview of how I assembled a nano aquascape following a dirted tank method and quickly achieved a flourishing nano ecosystem. The tank is a 22l cube, with mud from a local canal underneath a…

This short video demonstrates the benefits of having a small nanoscape aquarium in your living space. It creates a beautiful, tranquil centrepiece – a living light in your living room that absorbs CO2 and turns it for oxygen…
