That's for the useful video. I think, the frequency of feeding depends on the type of fish. Predators can be fed infrequently but in larger portions, and more herbivorous or omnivorous fish should be fed in small portions, but more often.

Love using different types of tetras in my scapes, love the Cardinal, Serpae, Black Phantom, Rummy Nose. Love the way they school in a planted aquarium.

Great video! Well produced and with amazingly beautiful shots! For me, an aquarium is primarily about the fish, the shrimp, and the snails. Plants and hardscape are nice but secondary. I just love watching the animals move around. As for my favorite fish, that's hard to say. I do like colorful ones, such as guppies, but I think I have to choose the betta.

In my case, I installed my first aquarium 3 months ago but I read and saw a lot of things beforehand on the subject, especially on your channel. I fell in love with Corydoras. So I started from there: I tried to make the perfect aquarium for this species: a 120 liter aquarium, with fine sand and plenty of hiding places for these shy fish. So I put stones and roots, arranged correctly accordingly. Then I chose Neon Tetras to keep them company (same needs but different swimming level). I like to see my corydoras evolve, their different characters, some never stop playing along the glass, others are more shy and stay in the background. I also like to observe the interactions between corydoras and neons during food distribution. Thank you (from France)

Hello, the video is very interesting, all the combinations and all the aquariums are magnificent. I'm planning to put some Trichopodus leerii with a shoal of Hemigrammus bleheri but I don't know yet if it's the right combination. If you have any ideas, I'm interested :)

@dennisvanopstal7360 19 күн бұрын

Footnote: I think it is very important for fish health to keep in mind the natural habitat. Not just water parameters. But actual natural environment. For example shy fish that live in dimmed light rivers with lots of plants and tree roots in the water dont feel good in a brigh light iwagumi scape. I feel like its our responsibility to pay attention to that. My favorite fish that you dont see so often are Pentazona barbs. They stay close to the bottom and school really well. And they are friendly for barbs You can keep them with long finned fish with no issues. Right now i have 2 fish tanks with different looking aquascapes. And for the live stock i kepts one tank Asian and one South American to avoie them to appear to same. Cheers!

@stoneysscapes7544 20 күн бұрын

Caridina Shrimp ??? It's probably more depending on the parameters being consistent with 0 fluctuating , but you Have to add the new perfectly matching water as slow as you can and this will help with almost any fish or shrimp if you can find the best pump for refilling !!!

just a doubt.. do we have to position the air diffuser like co2 diffuser like the bubbles shouldnt go up straight and have to spread out all over the tank? Is it possible for air bubbles go straight upward and can fully dissolve in water? Pls reply..

@mistervgw8307 18 күн бұрын

The o2 dosent diffuse like co2. The air bubble simply creates agitation in the water surface thus leading to gaseous exchange. More surface agitation = more oxygen

Larger hungry amano shrimps can even eat smaller fish alive. Still, 99% of the time, you can keep them with any fish. Same with the shrimps. We kept them together for so long. Never seen them attacking other shrimps. However, at feeding the amanos are the lions. So, you need to figure out a way to feed others. 😀👍
