I had like 10 neon tetras before... and then eventually numbers started to decrease. 😭 I didn't know what's wrong. I used Seachem Flourish Excel and i might have added to much. ❗ I'll add this video to my channel's curated videos - for reference in the future. Thanks!

I don't think it was the Flourish Excel. It could be anything from the water ph too high or too hard to Neon Tetra disease or internal tape worms. You never know. I've had it happen also. I treat them with Paracleanse or General Cure when I first get them to remove any internal tapeworms. It seems to help.

Driftwood browning of the water doesn't permanently brown the water. That goes away within a few weeks with water changes for most woods. My tank is packed with driftwood and crystal clear. Purigen will clean those tannins out in a matter of a few weeks. In The fish industry a long time. Handled a lot of celebrities, athletes and high profile peoples tanks in Miami and Fort lauderdale. Including all the bass pro shops in South Florida.

Awesome video and love that tank! I'm new to the fish hobby, and at first in my 10 gallon I had neon tetras, black skirt tetras, and black as well as dalmatian mollies. And two mystery snails and 2 rabbit snails. I way over stocked as well as not knowing about cycling beforehand. So after about a month, the only ones left alive were 1 neon and 1 mystery snail. Lesson learned. I bought some more neons and also some red rosy minnows. It's been another month and all are happy and healthy, and thriving. I'm trying to find a good way to feed them all, because the rosy reds are little piggies and hoard the food before the neons get enough. I've fed from both ends of the tank but the rosy's go after the food on the other side as well. Any tips on what else I can do without overfeeding them to make sure they all get enough?

Hi. So I have 4 neon tetras. And also a coi female betta. In my tank. How many times do you recommend a day I feed my tetras. And should I be concerned if my other fish goes after the food also

This is a great video - very informative and exactly what I was looking for - Doing a ton of research before setting up my first "beginner" aquarium.. Quick Q - can a Betta live in harmony with Neon Tetras in a 20g tank?
@TropicalFishGuy4 жыл бұрын
Well congratulations on being a fish person and I hope you enjoy the hobby. I have successfully kept neons with a betta in a 20gallon tank. Although I would not put neons in until the tank has completed building up the bacteria. Neons don't typical do well for me during the cycle. Please reach out with any questions.

I think this video may be right for you. It explains cloudiness in a new fish tank. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qr57o6yU1tPYcok.html . Welcome to the hobby! Hope you enjoy it for years to come.

How many can I put in a empty 20gal buy themselves
@kenjiro26763 жыл бұрын
Captive bred animals should be living much longer than their wild counterparts. The breeding ethics for fish need to pick up their game, they are mass produced so I suspect a lot of inbreeding going on in these farms.

Hi there great video and it will help me care for the fish. I was wondering if you could help me. I am new to my aquarium and was looking at tetras for a starter fish. How many should I have for a 64L (14G) tank. I know they prefer larger numbers but don’t want too many that it will cause any harm, thanks in advance.

Are those angel fish?? I didn’t know you can keep them with guppies! Omg can you make a care video about them :(( I might buy some for my tank
@TropicalFishGuy3 жыл бұрын
I think you might be seeing the Black skirt tetras. I usually don’t keep angels with neons although you maybe able to get away with it. Sure I will do an angel fish care video. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hello everyone! Today I realised I overfed my fish(betta) and I don't know what to do... Should I fast him for a couple of days? And thanks to me being uneducated, I didn't know I had to remove the food he doesn't eat otherwise it would cause ammonia... I am afraid that it's ammonia poisoning, but I took out most of the uneaten food that remained for the last day or so(we took him 3 days go). Please help, I am super messy and don't know what to do.
@lol-xc5bz4 жыл бұрын
Is the betta sick or looks and behaves it normal (compare it to videos of Bettas on youtube)? If it behaves normal and looks normal, try to feed it normally. Do not fast him, I think that can be dangerous to your fish. You can feed him less per the time you feed, but do this in small steps.

lol!!! He is lethargic. He doesn't breathe heavily nor he swims weird, but he is lethargic
@TropicalFishGuy4 жыл бұрын
Yes, Bettas can definitely overeat. I would fast him for a few days and it's good you removed the uneaten food. I would test the water and see if there is high levels of ammonia and change water if necessary. Hope this helps and good luck!

@@TropicalFishGuy i was either buying neons or cardinals but went with cardinals because the pet shop only had 6 neons left. Lol. I got 15 cardinals with corys. I want another tank for neons. Haha. Keep up the awesome work.
