A Living Library of Natural Aquariums

Welcome to the Botanical Method Aquarium Video Vault, a curated collection of videos from our Betta Botanicals ® #TanninBae Ambassadors and like-minded aquarists who embrace nature’s processes, not fight against them. Here, you’ll find hands-on setups, problem-solving strategies, and deep dives into the philosophy behind the botanical methodology.

From building layered substrates as we'd find in nature to allowing biofilms to bloom, these videos document the real evolution of functional, thriving ecosystems, not static aquascapes. All are welcome here to learn, troubleshoot, or to simply immerse yourself in aquariums inspired by natural processes.

Leaves were never a phase. They’re a lifestyle.
