The Shallow Ecosystem on My Desk (150 Day Evolution)

Cutting an aquarium in half is not the best of ideas but it's a lot of fun. You can always DIY a something interesting out of the wreckage, and in this case I went on a journey of restoration and built an ecosystem. There's something about shallow fish tanks that appeals to a lot of people, and I thought my desktop was just the right place to appreciate mine (so that my fish can judge my every move while I edit videos about them).
Follow along as the fish tank develops the natural way; with no filter, and no co2 injection.
Happy to answer questions in the comments :)

Nevertheless, I just love the funny fish chats and sound effect when they're eating and moving around, a hilarious comical feature that completes my day. By the way I'm wandering something? What happened to the first fish on this world? Where is the Adam here called little gourami? Did he jumped off and died when you go out to do groceries?

    • This is the prophecy about the second coming of Jesus Zechariah 13:7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones. The Shepherd here is Jesus. John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. This is the fulfillment of the prophecy. Matthew 26:31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “’I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ This happened near 30 to 33 AD. Hosea 6:1-2 Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. In prophecies 1day is equal to 1000 years. Which means after two thousand years Jesus will return again. And on the third day which is the 3rd millennium, we will live in his sight. We all know we cannot see God's face and live on Earth. So it's the second coming of Jesus. Luke 21:11 ► There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. We are the witnesses of all these things. From the death of Jesus to 2030 - 2033 there are 2000 years. Jesus is coming soon. Let's all repent and turn from our old ways and turn to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Peace and Love to you all Easter is pagan, the resurrection day of the Lord is correct and please stop taking the Lord's name in vain like saying omg or using it with a bad word or taking it in anyway that is in vain. Even the devil trembles in his name and we shouldn't use the powerful name like that. For the people who says Jesus is not God here's a verse. Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Everlasting Father?. There's your answer The whole world will turn against Israel and not just Palestinians. Then know the end is near. God bless you all Please spread this message to the ends of the world. I'm starting a KZhead channel within 1 month, which will be focused on different Bible topics, so consider subscribing.

  • As someone who absolutely Loved her fish and frogs as a kid (but hasn’t had any practice with an aquarium since then) it would be such a blessing to have a video in this format for a low budget beginner build! I’d love love love to give this a try - especially with the goal of having a self sustaining ecosystem! All three videos have inspired me so much to set that goal! It’d be especially helpful to have some troubleshooting as a starting point to refer to before making the decision to devote hundreds of dollars into the hobby (and time into the research!) Truly hoping to see more of this gold from your channel, even if it is just more of your own builds! ❤

  • It is diabolical that you have had the extreme patience & willpower to gather this much footage over so much time and to be able to bring it all together so perfectly into 3 fascinating video stories that catches me and so many others deep in our feels. 3 videos? This much polish? That many views in such a short period of time? Obsessed and grateful for your content. It is like a whole-body, meditative hug. Your builds are gorgeous without being fussy. The commentary is clever & not excessive or overdone. The editing feels light & fresh even though much thought must have been put into them. Please document & release more content on the inhabitants of your builds. Their day to day life, highs & lows, updates, inter species drama, the adorable and incredibly satisfying bloopy sound effects. Greedy ask I know, but… it never hurts to ask.

Most youtubers have to spend years putting out a video every week for those kinds of numbers, and from what i know about youtube monetization that's this channel generates a living wage now level numbers. This guy creates serious art, mixed with science which is my favorite kind of art! So he deserves the success for sure. I just hope he uses the success to create more great content, because I'm greedy for this kind of content.
