For the sake of neatness, you can taper and bury the tails of the double fisherman if you stick with hollow core. Obviously does not need a long bury but would still be better to taper. Can be done with other knots as well.

Use a throat whipping or stitch if you are worried about slippage.

Feedback:
After some Sessions I would Like to give a Feedback:

For the Rope Ends I went fit the "Waterknot"
Did Not Slip through at all!

For the middle Knot I Just made a normal one (I did Not want a Slider.)

Even if I am Not proud about it: but with too much beer and too much potato Chips on the Couch, I really Like the small Rope. Much more comfortable than my 8 cm wide Hook. 😳😳😳😁😁😁😁

The right-hand knot on the picture would be better tied as a water knot. The way you tied it can "roll" itself undone.
