In this video, I share my epic journey of transforming a bonsai tree into an aquatic wonderland that is not only visually stunning but also safe for fish.
Join me as I take you through the science of making wood safe for fish, the challenges of building a dramatic dragon stone orb, and selecting the right plants to complement the centerpiece.
With over 100,000 species of trees in the world, have you ever wondered why only a handful of wood types make it into aquariums? I reveal the secrets behind why certain woods like mopani and manzanita are some of the safest bets and how to make sure that the greenwood doesn't harm your fish or impact water chemistry.
I also share my mistakes and lessons learned along the way, including the danger of baking bonsai trees at high temperatures and the importance of using appropriate safety gear when working with chemicals like bleach and superglue.
But, the result is worth it all! The aquarium is now home to a beautiful shoal of Purple Harlequin and Copper Harlequin Rasbora, and my fourth generation of Apistogramma Trifasciata can enjoy exploring their new home with the safety and security that they need.
If you're into aquascaping, plant growth, and stunning fish, this video is a must-watch. Don't miss out on this amazing journey of creating a safe and stunning bonsai tree aquarium centerpiece. Join me and let's dive into the world of aquascaping together!
