4:40 the "stemmed plants" on the right is hygrophila polysperma 'tropical sunset'. I would bet my life on it.

Nik Marren - 8 years ago

without an ample amount of flat ground and substrate for a stingray to burrow under and glide over the fish are likely to swim through the plants and flatten them.

+DefiniteAquascapeTV Why? Stingrays don't eat plants, so why would a larger stingray be a problem?

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 10 years ago

This stingray is very young. Plants wouldn't last for long with a larger stingray.

Poor stingray bump to the glass,stingray needs a round aquarium

chris norris - 10 years ago

That sting ray is awesome I so want one that first tank looks epic and the sting ray does real catch your eye I have a male gt in my tank and a sting ray would be epic to own and have

MaelstromFilm - 10 years ago

Keep in mind that they need a pretty good sized tank. The one pictured here is a 65 gallon tank.

Lincolngoh - 10 years ago

The motoro stingray will out grow the tank in 6 months and tear everything apart and eat all the fish. Its a lousy set up for a stingray.

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 10 years ago

Of course it's not for a stingray. This tank was set up only for the time of the exhibition, and is not designed for housing a stingray for long time.

Blah Blab - 10 years ago

Blah Blab - 10 years ago

No, thank you for your time making these videos. I'd hang with ya at these events. Very cool. The more black water biotope at 6:00 in this vid is my fav. Amazing.

trueHerpnerd - 11 years ago

I wish I could buy some celestial pearl danios form you but I live in the u.s :(

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

To aquarium shops, and also individual clients. But I prefer selling to shops, as they buy large amount of fish at once.

trueHerpnerd - 11 years ago

then who do you sell the celestial pearl danio to?

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

I'm not yet a wholesaler, but my plan is to become one :)

trueHerpnerd - 11 years ago

50 tanks all with celestial pearl danio are you like wholesaler or some thing like that??

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

It's not a single tank, it's about 50 different small tanks. All these have the total capacity of about 1500 liters. So, on the average, every tank has about 30 liters. I don't breed discus, I breed celestial pearl danios Danio margaritatus.

trueHerpnerd - 11 years ago

so that would be 395 gallons wow!! you should show your fish tank some time what fish do you breed discus? :)

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

Me? I live in Poland :) I have about 1500 liters at home, in about 50 various tanks. But none of them are planted tanks, it's just a breeding setup.

trueHerpnerd - 11 years ago

well where do you live and how big is your tank or how big of a tank can you get

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

You can order it in your local pet shop, I guess... :)

keaton calhoun - 11 years ago

Where can I get a stingray?

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

Hehe, yeah, I know, the snack looked really funny :)

paulakishable - 11 years ago

very charming! i thought the cucumber snack was very cute :) good video!

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

If they would not become pests, then they probably would be legal :/

^.^ Budgies 〈3 - 11 years ago

i wish snakehead were legal in us :(

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

I have some discus videos already posted :) Browse through my older videos, there are seven parts of "Discus fish classification" from Aquatics Live 2012 show in London :)

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

Potamotrygon motoro.

Ashton Robinson - 11 years ago

what kind of stingray war that ?

Jarrad Mayocchi - 11 years ago

Hi, do you know where to get a teacup or motoro stingray? My fish shop has one but its $900 and too big.

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

Yup, quite nice, that's true :)

aquaticpimp - 11 years ago

awesome tanks

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

Minh Swift - 11 years ago

Beautiful aquariums! I hope one day mine will be as good

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

Cheers! :)

bliss85aus - 11 years ago

good work,mate

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

Nooo, it's Potamotrygon motoro, not the reticulated stingray.

Siddons 11 - 11 years ago

I believe it is a retic aka teacup stingray. Its one of the smaller breeds of freshwater rays.

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

Thanks, trying to do my best! :)

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

Uuuu, it's a looooong subject :) I'd start with very easy plants, like Vallisneria and Hornwort, and easy fish, like guppies or mollies. You can make very nice aquascape even with Vallisneria only, and after few months you'll get enough experience to get something more advanced. Vallisneria and Hornwort are plants with which one can't fail (I think :) ).

Robert White - 11 years ago

any tips for a beginner at aquascapes?

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

Exactly, it's Hydrocotyle sp. Japan! :) (not "HydrocotyleS" :) )

iSim0641 - 11 years ago

hydrocotyles sp. japan (he tells the nam in the video) one of my fav foreground plant ;)

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

It is, but it's a very gentle animal, and doesn't attack humans without a reason.

JaY - 11 years ago

is the stingray in the first tank poisonous

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

It's Vallisneria, probably V. gigantea :)

FallenSaiint - 11 years ago

What is the long plant in the second tank at the sides?

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

"Conventions"? What do you mean? As for Step by Step instructions, just enter "Settig up an aquarium" in Google or YouTube, and I'm pretty sure there will be dozens of relevant serach results :) Another option for you is to wait until I make something like this in one of my videos ;) (but this might take time, I'm affraid :) )

How did you prevent inbreeding, BTW? I breed Celestial Pearl Danios, and sometimes inbreeding seems to be a problem...

8matman - 11 years ago

Green terras,Blue Acaras,Red jewels.(no inbreeding) :)

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

Hey, I'm happy to hear that! :) That's my main goal, to provide people with inspiration :) What have you been breeding, BTW? :)

8matman - 11 years ago
