CREATING A NATURAL AQUARIUM
Father Fish creates an aquarium that is fully natural. Father Fish guides you through establishing a planted aquarium that mimics the balance and beauty of nature. Discover the essential components: soil, water, plants, and living organisms, and understand how they interact to create a thriving aquatic environment. The video draws a parallel to nature’s way of developing life, explaining how similar principles apply to a healthy aquarium.

Get practical tips on using backyard soil rich in microbes, capped with sand for both aesthetics and function. Learn the importance of incorporating live plants to kickstart natural processes and maintain balance. The video emphasizes the role of the aquarist as a gardener, nurturing a selfsustaining, vibrant ecosystem where fish and other organisms can thrive.

This video promotes understanding your aquarium not as a sterile setup but as a living, tropical garden that requires thoughtful care. Embrace the philosophy of working with nature to cultivate a thriving planted aquarium.
