Күн бұрын

In this video we are setting up a beautiful fish tank! We are making a little nano aquascape for some Celestial pearl danios! Probably the best looking nano fish you can get! I'm going for a natural ''river style'' aquascape with lots of pebbles and some boulders.

Seriously debating getting a load of these for my unstocked 60P dutch style species tank, or a few asian rummynose or ember tetras. CPDs definitely are one of the best looking fish I've seen, but I worry they'll be a wee bit too small to see in a 60p unless I got super close. Where do they hang out the most? In MJs tank they're mostly hanging out at mid level which would be ideal. But in the shop they're at the bottom so its hard to tell.

@888fluffy Жыл бұрын

@@samg1879 I find they’re actually mid-low. They love to weave in and out of plants and decor, which they stick pretty close to. Might be good to pair with a more open water, top third species in a tank that big. I think small fish in a tank that big will look great, as they will make the scale seem bigger.

Very happy to see you start experimenting with more kinds of tanks. Looking forward to your next video! Cheers!

Nice. Biotope are really "in" actually. If you like, there are a french youtube channel who are great, gabaqua (probably in holidays actually). Crazy about discus so more into big tanks, but interesting to see for the biotope visions in aquariums. For the bettas, sorry to know that you had trouble with them. I don't have some now (really nice fish, but i don't like to lose them) but i have a tips i gave to all my friends who have them. Don't use the thermo for betta (the one sold for bettas and always at 25). In winter, they are in a hot bath but breath an air who are at 20 (sometimes less !) and they start to being sick. A good old thermo that you use in winter only 2, maybe 3 degrees (max) up to the room and no more trouble.

I also just wanted to say that your video making skills have really evolved and your screen presence has as well. I know it is not easy, but you are doing a fantastic job. I also really appreciate all the time you take to do the right thing for the fish like going through a proper cycle, acclimation, etc. You are a terrific ambassador for the hobby, and just wanted to take the time to recognize your effort.
