How do you water aquatic plants? Do you add water to the tank every day or something like you do with land plants?

@SteamPunkFunk All of these can only be done in freshwater.

upaa83 - 12 years ago

if only i could transform into a tiny fish and dive into these tanks.

Steampunkfunk - 12 years ago

@Kookioz Can these be either salt, or fresh water?

lopez5678 - 12 years ago

@Limpedalong but how do the plants get on the rock? do you buy them like that ? or does it magically grow on it lool?

Randy Urias - 12 years ago

@lopez5678 You have to trim it to keep it looking neat like that. Starts to grow long and a nice trim will make it nice and compact

lopez5678 - 12 years ago

i got a question about the tank at 1:12. the grass that is above the rock/cliffs, do you buy it like that? or do you have to somehow plant the grass on top of it to be make it look that neat?

YourPilon - 12 years ago

2:48 is the most eyepleasing to me. I plan on making a close replica to that with a few modifications. I like the colors because it looks like scenery from one of my favorite movies. ^^

mythcontrolpill - 14 years ago

I swear with the soft music in the background for a few minutes I got lost in this world. My favorites are 0:18 and 0:32, especially the 0:32, it looks like the rapids, absolutly amazing. Thank you Kookioz for puting it together.

BlackMetalHeart85 - 14 years ago

Watching this video with the moonlight sonata is how to stay in aquatic paradise.... wonderful!!!

Andy Sim - 14 years ago

Anybody has any idea as to how they keep the creeping plants like hairgrass or HC from growing onto the white gravel/sand they have in some of the tanks. I'm thinking of re-scaping my tank soon and i wanna re-create those white sand pathways that they do so nicely in some of the set-ups. Thanks in advance =)

CheeseBon - 14 years ago

oh, i see. so its trying to replicate the black waters of the amazon river or something then. i wouldnt touch discous fish with a 10ft pole. lol

kravenkorvinus - 14 years ago

thanks again..it could also be rotala rotundifolia..

Adam Humphrey - 14 years ago

usually taken out, just for the photography

Adam Humphrey - 14 years ago

i believe the red plant at 1:11 is Ludwigia arcuata which can grow red under high lighting or the right strain. another similar plant is rotala macaranda "red". thanks

Adam Humphrey - 14 years ago

0:39 is a biotype where it tries to replica a natural environment, i wouldnt have added it but the person who entered, entered in the wrong section lol

kravenkorvinus - 14 years ago

whats the red plant called in 1:11? thank you

CheeseBon - 14 years ago

0:39 what is that supposed to me.. i cant even see any plants and theres a shit load of tannon in the water
