Something different for 2023: I thought I would go through some of your questions on Instagram and answer them. This is a bit of a test episode to see if it's something you fishkeeping geeks want to watch. Let me know in the comments if you would like to see more content like this?
As I say in the video, I get lots of messages about all sorts of Fishkeeping problems, questions and info that you lovely people want answering. Unfortunately, for me to answer every single one would take me hours but this way I can hopefully work through them at a steady pace.
These answers will never be in depth but should give you the essential knowledge you need. Questions that need longer answers I will endeavour to make into longer videos at a later date.
In this episode we cover quite a few questions including: algae eaters for a 100 litre community aquarium, my favourite houseplants to use above a fish tank, quick steps to tackling black beard algae, and a quick guide to telling the gender of suckermouth catfish.
Send questions to me via my Instagram and I will work out a better way at some point soon!

9:45: I find that strawberry plants grow very well with their roots in an aquarium too, and with a strawberry plant, you also get fruit to eat 😋🍓😋. The only downside, is that (as we all know) strawberry plants are actually quite pervasive, and invasive, so you will have problems with new plants growing off from the original one. However, as most strawberry plants also only produce fruit for about three years, you can swap out a barren one, for a new, fruiting one. I also plant extra ones out in tubs on my patio too😋😁🥰

Amazon swords, hygrophilias etc. 200liter tank with 10 cherry barbs, 2 apisto Macmasteri, 1 ancistrus, 9 corydora sterbai, and 9 rummy noses. Filtration Fluval 307, and ph 7,1. No high levels of Nitrite och Nitrate (testing water regularly). Tank just about 10 months with aqua soil in media bags, gravel and sand. What fertelizer should I use? Thank you for great content and all knowledge you are sharing!

The way I resolved cloudy water in my new 600 litre tank is as follows: 1. Drained about 60% of the water. 2. Added a double dose of flocculant to the remaining 40% of water and just let a small air pump run. 3. Left the remaining 40% of water for an hour or so and the particles settled on the substrate. 4. Filled up the tank slowly. 5. Placed filter floss in the filter and ran the filter at maximum capacity. After a day or so the water was very much clear not 100% though, but cleared after about 2 days. With good filtration I have not experienced cloudy water ever again. Hope this helps. Nobody advised me to do this, and I figured this out myself based on logic. Regards from Centurion South Africa

Hello Matt. Hope you and your family have had a great and wonderfully blessed holiday season. Now I really love this video. And I definitely think that you should do more. I always learn something new from you with every video that you make. And by doing Q&A videos the information is more targeted to specific topics that people need help with. But please don't just pull the questions from Instagram. I don't have an account there, and there's probably a lot of others that don't either. Please pick from KZfaq as well. But I must say that every time I've asked you a question here, you've been spot on in answering them. So thank you so very much for all that you do for us. I get excited when I get a notification that I have a video from you and can't wait to get to see it. 😁

That way the community can help you save time and I noticed that in this hobby people like to help each other out.

Love your stuff and MD. I laugh anytime i hear about Flow coming round. My tanks always end up with hair algae and while i can grow crypts, ferns, and anubias well my stems always seem to melt into nothing. Any tips? My best guess is better lighting? I use fluval aqua sky lights and dows NilocG ferts at root tabs while using MD's layering system of gravel-aquasoil-sand.

So all your plants you list that do well are slower growing low light plants. So you are probably right in thinking lighting maybe the issue. Possibly look at slowing down on the ferts if you are suffering algae as like I say the ones you have are slower growing.

Hello Sir..I am a huge fan of You and MD from India..I am trying to setup a new 2 feet planted tank and I am not able to find any aquatic compost that MD uses in his video in my country..is there any alternative solution to aquatic compost that you can suggest.. Please it would be of great help..

Hello! 👋 You could use the top soil method that MD has used in some of his recent videos. This is just a low nutrient garden based soil that he then caps with sand. The other thing you could look for is pond soil for potting up pond plants.
