Pantanal Wetland & Biotope Step by Step setup

Awesome biotope aquarium ❤.

Having seen how fine the ADA Malaysia substrate is, I understand why you didn't mention including Corydoras pantanalensis in the setup! Be good to see how the L. dorsigerus settle in. They are a brilliant species for medium-sized tanks. My choice would have been Apistogramma borellii 😂.

Gymnocorymbus ternetzi in the wild! Wow, it is the first time I see them like that in the wild...
I love Gymnocorymbus ternetzi, I kept them in the 80's.

Really awesome to see the exploration of a habitat in the wild and your recreation of it at home. I find myself really drawn to the biotope style for its natural beauty. I actually really liked the look of the aquarium right after you filled it with water. The hazy, backlit look gave it a wonderful sense of depth, like a rainy, misty morning walk in the forest. Hazy/cloudy water is much more the norm in the wild. If only there were an easy way to maintain that look in the aquarium without everything settling out...

I loved this! Thank-you! I do enjoy seeing what the natural habitats look like and how they change throughout the year for fish and plants we use in the hobby. It seems, for me anyway, that much of what I see online for native habitats are spectacular, wow-factor pictures, and videos. This helps me to understand some of the normal growth conditions of plants and how they relate to my aquariums. Thank-you!

Perfect biotope.

Interesting they have the same white herons we have in northern Indiana USA.

Really nice recreation. I must say, this is a fantastic concept of video! Nobody else in the game is doing this. Great approach.

Maravilhoso o layout e as fotografias dos peixes amigo… como sempre!!

fantastic video! I will keep a look out for when your book is published!

I’ll go back to a Pantanal biotope inspired aquarium one day! It still draws me in whenever I see your videos

This is wonderful! What I would have given for this sort of content back when I first started getting into this hobby more than 35 years ago!

👍🏻

Thanks for the video

Thanks Tai! Very informative and great footage.

fantastic display! You're right about the Black Widows. They are always an afterthought or filler fish. You did them justice :)

So beautiful however you should invest in better equipment for audio greetings from north Cyprus

Love the tank!

Great scape, fantastic equipment!

Obviously not read the book yet but this is my favourite scape you’ve done so far ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥something I would love to recreate

Brilliant! Well done. Thank you!

genau das gegenteil von unseren aquarien, verkrautet, algen und trübes wasser... 😉👍👍👍

I like your boundless exploration of unlikely habitats and your ideas for new biotopes. Very inspiring and thought provoking.

Hi there! I'm part of the Father Fish Research Team, and we're on a mission to create some exciting videos about tropical aquarium fish in their natural biotopes. We've got some folks in Florida and Spain who can film underwater, but it's been tricky to find someone in Brazil,who can provide uw footage. Our team is comprised of skilled fishkeepers, and we also have a pair of biologists who specialize in specific fields, like microbiology, for example and the plan is to make these videos engagning and educational. Would you be interested in working with us in some way?

One of the beter video's 👍

Beautiful Tai! I'm really looking forward to your book, it should be a great read, some of those habitats are spectacular 🙂

Awesome. The green background is perfection! Great job on this! The fish selection too 👍

I just want to say that I'm a big fan of your videos. I grew up in South America and moved to the North in my early teens, so I get to relive a lot of childhood memories thru your videos. Thank you for sharing such awesome content that always takes me on a trip down memory lane. All the best!

This is becoming a must-watch channel. Just keeps getting better. Maybe your best video amigo.

It is a shame that the ADA (non-black) aquasoils are getting harder to buy where I live. I love the other colours.

you film all this with a GoPro? what kind?

That is stunning. I am very much looking forward to publication of your book ❤

Are there any sort of crustaceans that would fit in such a biotope fishtank?
