What kind of fish? Definitely varies but clean water and a good ratio to start. Plecos and cichlids can get triggered from a cooler water change

Betta

I'm trying live barers like plattys for now

Live bearers are definitely one of the easier ones to breed. Just make sure there’s a mix of males and females and soon enough you’ll see the females belly get larger

It's been 2 mouths know tho idk why they aren't breeding there in a big tank with a sponge filter and alot of plants

I have one piece I found and it’s also a soft wood. I’d still boil it if you can. It might take forever to sink. You can leave it for awhile in water in case it leeches anything

@@JKFishKeeping sounds good.. also a little bark is still attached to the piece so any advice on how to remove it? ive tried logging it to remove the bark but it seems to be connected tight...

@@yawg333 I’d pry it off with a flathead

Thank you! Yes me too!

😅👊

Oh that’s awesome! Definitely if I had to do it all over, there would be some changes but space optimization and money saving is always key 🫡

@@JKFishKeeping most definitely! I have all my plans! Currently building the walls currently lol, I have my little tankless water heater on order along with the same air pump you have! I’m a plumber so I have all the pvc ready hahaha

@noisyaquatics man, having a plumbing trade comes incredibly handy in this hobby lol!

Thank you so much!

Oh man. I have been there a few times with the uplift tubes and these darn plecos 😓

@@JKFishKeeping it was heartbreaking. Poor little baby. Only fish that's ever done that

Thanks Mark! Hope they like it too 😂

I use it on freshwater, don’t think it’s bright enough for corals but can definitely use for FOWLR. Pretty sure I got mine on Amazon awhile ago. It would look sweet on a rimless

On Amazon! Brand Raybee

@@JKFishKeeping thank you! Did you have any issues with it! It looks great! I wanted to stack my 4 20/29 tanks just like your metal rack.. but was debating on just doing the cinder block thing? But I’m limited space.. your thoughts 💭 Thank you again man!!!

@jr.childers2324 definitely going up helps with space. No issues and it’s been going strong. 20 gallons is the most I’ve had on it though. I liked this each because the long bars don’t show the slots. Believe it’s on sale and I think they had a couple sizes

Sometimes yes but it’s always safer not to add the water. High levels of ammonia could be something that is in the water but not with the fish. Any meds as well. Things like bacteria or fungus and parasites could very well be on the fish but adding the water would of course contaminate the tank even more. Just volume maths

If separating non bettas. It would be great flow. Bettas can definitely get stressed when seeing each other permanently

@@JKFishKeeping Do you know of a link to buy such a net divider? Or a recommendation and link? I want to breed different tropical fish, some cichlids

@SPIDERKING777 what size is the tank? Penn plax makes one for a 10gallons that I’ve used before

@@JKFishKeeping It's a 90 long tank. So it's short and thin and long.

@@SPIDERKING777 oh super cool. Since that’s very uncommon, I’d see what other tanks are close to that size and check it out. Good thing with the mesh is you can cut it smaller but more difficult to find larger

😅

Hello and welcome! 🙏 thank you!

These filthy animals 😅

They did well on their lights!

😉

Always wanted to try them!

@@JKFishKeeping I got one for the same reason and no more worms

@davids_collection oh perfect! Thanks!!

It does. Doesn’t always work, depending on which wood you have and how long you boil it but sometimes they will sink right away

@@JKFishKeeping i have goldvine, i figured boiling for an hour or so cant hurt?

@daves7104 good idea. I will always boil new wood first if it fits

@@JKFishKeeping yea that's the challenge.. getting it fit. I chose to focus on the clump sections first and Keating the longer skinny branches to stick out and after boiling I'll just soak thr lot in a large drum. Do you salt yours?

@daves7104 I do not salt them. Larger pieces if they somewhat fit, I’ll rotate them after some time

Hi Jill! A lot of my tanks have a high turnover rate due to being breeding set ups. With that being said, I do agree with you and have began making the tanks more suitable.

@@JKFishKeeping Love it. Even though it might "turn over" quickly, whatever items you put in there can be re-used so it's not money wasted. And...raising happy healthy fish is better for your customers buying them.

Ehhh

How many gallons? To be honest, my tanks over hang my wood slightly. You can definitely pull out the wood an inch on either side, especially if it’s on a bottom or mid row so there support on top of the wood

Normally yes you are absolutely correct but for the purpose of this set up, the spray bar as well as the power, creates enough surface agitation in each section and filtration that utilizes a single outlet.

I got them from Etsy

@@JKFishKeeping Thanks having trouble finding it...all I see is pothos sizes which are.too thin. What did you search?

@irecruitfish7410 if you search “pothocarry” you’ll see the seller. Click them to see everything in their store

@@JKFishKeeping found it on the site thank you

Thank YOU! 🙏

I remember when I ordered, it stated when the shipping date would be and it was probably like 2-3 weeks out. What it seems like it they post the pictures before they even get the fish in house and they are getting sent from overseas. Their communications are very difficult because before I know they only had like two staff members so that is the downfall. Double check to see if you missed a ship date or something in that realm to give you an idea

Thank you!

@@JKFishKeeping where you from brother?

@@archetypaljesus Norther Illinois suburb of Chicago. You?

@@JKFishKeeping im from the Philippines. You look cute☺️

Ah thank you! It was a last minute decision and I was iffy about it too 😅

@@JKFishKeeping love your tanks and content

@jonsanchez7926 thank you Jon! I really appreciate it

That’s crazy about the assassin assassin snail! 😂

🤣 fuuuudge LOL! I’m curious to see what betta you’re gonna get cuz cmon… I know there’s gotta be at least one betta tank!

Hi Cheryl! Yes so busy with work. Hope things are good with you! Anything new???

@@JKFishKeeping Hey. Same old crazy work schedule with very long days lol I did get 3 baby longfin albino plecos and 2 other supposed to be albinos but I honestly think they gave me super reds by mistake ... oops 🤣 they had them all in the same tank 🤷‍♀️ Looking forward to the fish auction in Ottawa in a couple of weeks. Don't know about you guys but we barely had any snow (not normal😬) Spring is coming early. Starting seeds for the garden. Oh and I got myself a Monstera Thai Constellation!!! Prices are coming down and it's tiny lol only paid $32! Hope you and your family are all well! 😃

@@cherylmartin9994 oh super mild winter but I love it. I just bought a couple Thai cons from Home Depot for $40 each! Hard to pass up with those prices. Gonna repot it soon though, soil is super thicc

Pothos are super easy. Ambient room light is fine

It’s doing perfect. Only because I used so much of the thicker twin wall sheets

It’s from Aquarium Coop, can’t remember the brand

Bottom row are 20s and the middle are 10s 👊

Thanks Cheryl! Not sure if the plastic piece has a name but it was in the crafting area at Hobby Lobby. I eyed it before but finally found an application. It’s great because it’s cheap and customizable to whatever your lid needs are.

Holy Pharma!!! 😍 you making a comeback??? Missed you man!

@@JKFishKeeping coming back soon! planning out my fish room looking for inspo and happened upon your aqueon frameless tank vid!

@Pharmaquatics I’m excited! I remember you were renovating a house last time. I can’t wait and also am honored.

HA! I knew but totally forgot which video(s) that I started by introducing myself with my name! 🤪 saving money is my favorite lol.
