The music was too soon, or too loud, made it almost impossible for me to hear you. But this was neat, learned some new stuff as always from your vids, thanks!

I love how it looks like the betta is regularly checking your work while the rest of the fish try to stay away. 😄

I added a piece of wood to my betta's tank yesterday. He was right by my hand watching the whole time and as soon as I took my hand out, he zipped around once and went into his favorite nook in the wood. it made me laugh.

Albimas look very awesome and healthy. I'll have to remember this video to keep in mind the type of wood you used. Neons do well in a similar set up. I also did well with some cave breeding cichlids in a similar dark water tank. Which surprised me a bit as they were in the tank while I set up their own tank. Which was given to another set of dark water fish and plants.

Been loving your videos so much -- been binging a whole bunch lately now that I wrecked my kids molly tank. :( I need some advice ... Currently I have a cheap kit from walmart (again for the kids) and I am realizing that the intank filter it came with it not adequate. I bought an aquaclear 20 and some extra sponges I would like to setup (like you suggest on your optimization video), however is there any way I should switch them out? I had 6 mollies and only 2 are left. I did not realize it but I had super high ammonia issues (guessing it was related to poor bio bacteria. Any ideas?
@thecrazycatgentleman6188 5 жыл бұрын
I know this is late but here it goes The ammonia can be solved by doing massive water changes(like 90%) Also mollies are brackish water fish.

Hello! Need some help, please. I added some angelfish (7) to my aquarium that already had Guppies, Platies, Ancistrus and Cherry Barbs. My cherry barbs dying one, by one...! Could it be agression? They do not have fighting injuries, But they are always hidden, more than previously i think. I would like to hear your opinion. Thank you.

Wow Coopy, the tank looks amazing! I have a semi-blackwater tank, working on it! Just added spiderwood (man..it's a struggle weighing it down... I soaked it for almost two weeks.. still needs weighed down) and I use catappa leaves and other things. The only things I don't understand is, why the music at the end? I can't hear anything you're saying because it drowns you out. Other than that, fabulous video, great to see the process of some of these tanks!
