Is an air stone needed?

I guess I am lucky, my chili Rasboras eat many of the foods I tried. The favorite ones are baby brine shrimp and shrimp baby from Glasgarten. It sinks, but they will eat most of it before they go down.

I appreciate your content. I am unsure of the solution or the correct term for what I am attempting to describe. However, I believe that enhancing your narration in your videos would be beneficial. The most effective way to grasp what I am trying to convey is to listen to your video at double the speed, where you will notice a repetitive flow of run-on sentences. Each sentence seems to start quickly and then gradually slows down, resembling a series of bullet points being read one after another. It just does not appear to be ideal. I am not criticizing you, nor am I in a position to offer advice. This is simply constructive feedback.

Where did you get that little heater

Great video mate. Dont let the hate comments that are making fun of your accent get to you. 💯

You’ve got me ready to start my first guppy tank in the next weeks! Great and comprehensive info as usual 👍🏾

Now just add a fence around the moss and a barn nearby and you have yourself a shrimp farm.

😊 exellent content thank you 🙏 😊

might seem like a silly question - but i'd love to do this project. would the water need dechlorinating or will it be alright just from the tap?

Hello Guys I am new to aquarium hobbies it been months can you please suggest me an filter currently I am using internal filter I am having 4 small goldfish 2 inch size and one Angel fish coin size in 5 gallon tank (I don't know about any bio media ) I need to have some more space my fish kind of have to much force in this internal filters Thanks in Advance guys

Hi where can i get that size lava rocks ?

Whats.the.dimension.of.your.tank

Great Video❤. I'm From Indonesia Bro

would 3/5 males be good for a 20 gal?

I had lots of hiding spots for my shrimp but my honey gorami killed all my shrimp

Use floating circular rings to keep on opening on the top

didn't realise this video was recent. found it through a search :P Great video. love the walstad method.

I've heard many doing this, and am considering it, I'm new to aquarium and dont wanna risk baby boom 😂

is it okay to cycle the tank before putting gravel and the decor in?

My betta use to eat shrimp but now he doesn't. He might eat the babies becuase I never see any but with the adults he doesn't bother with them unless he's grazing on some bloodworms as the shrimp like them as well

Albeano.. 😂🤣

Great video and nice to see some content from UK fishkeepers 😊 I want to set up a male guppy tank and have very soft water Will try the crushed coral before deciding. Does doing a water change not cause the water parameters to swing a lot regarding GH/KH if you are adding new soft water to the tank? Could this be harmful for them? How big of a water change do you do personally?

So... Is there any way to judge personality of a betta in a shop?

I have a 3 gallon vase with plants attached to wood, a heater and a light and a mini sponge filter at the bottom. It was set up for over 6 months. Then I added 3 red shrimp that did fine but never bred. Unfortunately when I went and bought a few more, I lost all but one shrimp after adding them. Checked and there was a slight ammonia spike. Not too sure why. Maybe a bit too much leaf litter or food (I barely fed). Do you do water changes in the jar?

I'm currently cycling a big jar right now for shrimps. Will probably be adding critters in 2 weeks' time. I'm just waiting for the temps to cool down because we're currently in the tail end of high summer heat here in south east asia.

I've still not done this but definitely want to. Tough to find a jar i like that also has a suitable lid - like the other commenter, i have a cat, who's already tried fishing in my betta cube once. Made a huge mess, but Milo the betta and his Amano buddy are fine. I wish hygger products where available here, they've got some great, inexpensive small stuff

I have a full tank of molly fishes and 1 guppy, I'm so tempted to change the whole tank to guppies because they're such a chilled fish, not stressed when I change the water, eats well, swims freely ❤ this video is swaying me further

I've been planning on setting up a shrimp jar. I will need a lid as I have a cat.

Informative video. These are my favorite fish.

Woah! They way you explained was just awesome. I have had both guppies and bettas . Both are awesome fish. But in my new 20 gallon , i dont know what to decide on. Then with your outstanding video, i chose on guppy. So i could even later move on to a pond serup of 1200 gallons. Thanks so much man!Cheers!❤😊

Youve also said its a beginners tank and youre using live plants and Beta jump and youve no lid

The filter is not as important as the media in it and its very important to stay away from plastic media by very nature its antibacterial sponge filters are ok but only really bio filter my tips are simply deep substrate plants and lots of media oh and dont mess with it to much

Micro or banana worms are a favorite of mine.

I hope you have better success as time goes on, and I’m inclined to think their demise had far less to do with your care and more to do with what they experienced before they arrived. Corey at aquarium co-op has an excellent video where he explains why livebearers have such high mortality. th-cam.com/video/oE9s3Q-c14U/w-d-xo.html. I have moderately soft water from a drilled well, so I have been adding rinsed crushed coral to my tanks or hob filters. But the first guppies I purchased met similar fates as yours. We have similar restrictions on aquarium meds in Canada, and pet store guppies are often stressed by the brackish-to-soft water transition if imported, columnaris bacteria, and camallanus worms. I nearly gave up on guppies.

I like your videos. Appreciate your effort. 😊

My veiltail betta's fins get raggedy too. The parameters are fine so I have doubts that it's rot. I just keep an eye on them if they might get out of hand; maybe treating him with meds but I'd rather not. Glad your guy doesn't have fin rot. Seems like the biggest issue people bring up is water parameters in dirted tanks. Bet your stems are doing the trick to eliminate anything developing. How's the PH in that tank? I was thinking the use of root tabs temporarily with the low level plants might help til they reach the nutrients but hasn't taken too much time so maybe not worth the effort!

You mean they can’t have 2 moms ?

Cupang!

As for shrimp & fish, i find theres SO MUCH gnashing of teeth online regarding fish eating baby shrimp and while I'll concede its both possible and even probable, in no circumstances have I ever found it to significantly impact shrimp breeding. Now, if youre breeding for commercial purposes, maybe that's different, but for home aquariums even in my 29g which features dozens of various nano fish (and a bristlenose) or my 40g which has about 12 larger corydoras now and a 3" long Siamese Algae Eater. None of these has put any significant dent in shrimp breeding rates. And ive never witnessed a shrimp eaten - though like your experience ive absolutely seen my cory's absolutely bulldoze shrimp out of the way when theyre snoofering around the substrate. Side note: there's all this talk about cory's, sand, and their barbels. Mine have been breeding in my 40g for a while now, with a large, coarse gravel substrate throughout most of the tank, and they all have if anything grown longer barbels. I'm convinced the "cories need sand" line is just another one of those things people hear and repeat, but which is completely wrong.

I only track gh and kh in my normal weekly 7-in-1 test strip. Im aware these are less accurate but that doesnt matter - I'm not looking for exact values, I'm looking for changes, for unexpected results. As my tap water is quite neocaradina friendly, i know just doing small weekly water changes will keep things roughly where they ought to be, so theres not much of a concern. Ive never bothered with TDS. I have a meter, but it seems totally useless as it reads *everything* in the water, not just minerals. I suppose monitoring for changes wiuld give you an indication of... Well... Changes. But without any knowledge of what changes or even if its bad. This has worked flawlessly for me for ages. I think ive seen a grand total of three dead shrimp over about 18 months of shrimpkeeping, so im not too concerned. I do find that my ahrimp do better in larger tanks regarding breeding. I *suspect* shrimp get friskier when they see theres lots of available food *and space* as uve noted even with increasing feeding, breeding for me appears to slow as populations increase - insee the biggest spikes in berries shrimp after removing a bunch of shrimp for another tank or to give away.

This is a very helpful video for a decision I’d been struggling with. Looks like Honey Gourami is the fish for me! Thanks so much for your help!!!

Aww

Thats a beta fish move

Your videos are great, keep it up. About to setup my first 5 gallon planted tank for a betta. Can’t wait

I got 2 from PaH like you - definitely thick lipped, one is now 4 inches and INCREDIBLY aggressive towards any fish that goes in his territory. Mainly the other thicklip I got at the same time (thinking they were both red honeys) When I asked PaH about this, they took them off the shelves at my local shop.

When the popular grows so much there’s no risk of ammonia?
