I love how all the fish were up at the glass like “Bro where’ve you been?!” 😊

@Riffwaters Ай бұрын

Haha. They missed me and I missed them!

It's always a pleasure watching your fish room and would be very happy to see a little bit behind the curtain for how you prepare your fish when you're getting ready to leave

Hey thanks! I appreciate the support.

IMHO. i thought from what i saw they all looked pretty good. Yes i would love to see how you setup the room for vacation. I also wish you would of feed the fish with us. Was there a problem with a fish in samsoms tank i thought i saw some lose scales or maybe slime coat @ the 8:06 time. Thanks for sharing

Good eyes! One of the Ptychochromis was beat up. I've found that genus to show healing from physical injury in strange ways. After years of keeping them, they sometimes look terribly beat up, but always recover unaided.

I left mine for a month, and they're still fine, except the water evaporation and crazy outgrown plants. And obviously not often, but like twice a year.

Nice fishroom. In the last shot - dont the Black Fish with yellow fins in center have some fungus issues ?

Sharp eyes! It's actually physical injury from breeding aggression. I've found this genus gets really feisty, and when their wounds heal over they look like this for a couple weeks then clear out. Been happening for years, though they never actually kill one another.

Very impressive set up you have,i have a new 432 litre tank,could you recommend a filter that would suit,cheers.

@Riffwaters Ай бұрын

Personally I'd do a Seachem Tidal 110, maybe with a small sponge filter for extra coverage.

I'm curious how you feed them while you are gone. We are leaving Saturday for a week and I've got fish feeders on my 3 tanks, and I'm planning to do water changes tomorrow. Kent

@Riffwaters Ай бұрын

Hi. I usually don't feed while I'm gone, depending on the type/age of fish. I overfeed for the week leading up, then do a healthy water change right before leaving and let them be.

@Royjah-sp9rm Ай бұрын

Yes how do you prep your tanks when you take vacations

@michelrood2966 Ай бұрын

Do you use automatic fishfeeders....?

@Riffwaters Ай бұрын

Hi. I don't usually, unless I have very young fish and no one to feed while I'm away. Mostly, I just overfeed the fish for the week leading up to vacation, give a healthy water change before leaving, and just let them be.
