Great information! Thanks for your consistent output👍Your tanks and fish are gorgeous 🤩 How about an update tour?

Hi great video. What type of algae is on the substrate near the end of video? I have exactly the same algae in my planted tank.

Angelfish are semi-aggressive and you should NOT put them and goldfish together. Goldfish are cold water and angelfish are tropical, their temperature requirements are far too different to house together. And I would only recommend dwarf gourami if it comes from a reputable breeder, as they are very very prone to Iridovirus dwarf gourami disease, a result of severe inbreeding. It can spread to other gourami species, such as honey gouramis, bettas, sparkling gouramis, etc, and can decimate your populations.

Started with 15 cherry barbs in 2018, there're more than 50 since 2022... they're funny and males like to get a little territory in order to 'hunt' females...

Angel fish are semi Aggressive

Are you having Snowball shrimp and Amano shrimp in the same tank? I have a 10 gallon with 4 male and 1 female Amano shrimp. I am thinking about to add Snowball shrimp, will they get along well? How many I can have in 10 gallon since Snowball can breed.

Drinking the water to train my immune system 😂😂😂

6:43 what is that bubbler to the left? I love that. 😍

Nah man I keep taste my water to test water if it okay or not to my fishes. My immunity is higher anyway Im no affraid with my tank bacteria

Drinking the water is the best way to test it! 🤷

What the link for the super glue with the fine tip? Also, once you use, do you discard the tip of the super glue or reuse it?

Many aquarists even experienced ones don't know that o2 level decreases significantly during night time or when the light is off in a planted tank. Very informative indeed!

As always thanks for sharing! the hoses trick was clever thank you 🤗

Another excellent video👍Great tips and information not found on other channels. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience 🙏

Tricks I don't actually know, great video!

I'm not sure that the quarantine point makes sense without mentioning treatment. If the quarantined fish are able to manage a disease/pathogen etc, and so look healthy during quarantine, when you add them to the community tank they will still carry the disease and potentially harm your livestock? It might have been better to mention treatments at the QT stage...great video btw!

Too many Amanos?! I have 3 in a 10 gal and they are my very successful little buddies!

Good advice. As an additional note to the filter, buying new gaskets to the filter cost a small fraction of the price of a new filter, often around $5-20 instead of hundreds of dollars!

Thanks for tip #10

I recently reset my main tank but before I did that I started up another tank which I filled with as many plants I could (for cheap of of fb marketplace, and other 2nd hand sell websites). After that small tank got completely overgrown (thanks to a simple diy system I made too) I transfered atleast half of these plants and put them into my main tank plus the plants it already had. It's filled with plants now and fish and I almost have no algae. So in short. Grow out a ton of plants before you start up with your eyecatcher tank. It will save you a lot of money

Keep the aquarium away from kids, they are very curious and very destructive when stimulated. I've seen kids grabing fishes, yanking plants, pouring juice in aquarium, breaking glass.... Monitor your kids, teach them well and don't allow them close to aquarium.

Fantastic video. I used to be impatient when I first entered the hobby and dumped fish straight into an uncycled tank (1 week was not enough) and then 5 days later all my guppies were dead. Another good tip is to buy the best light possible from the off. I have spent hundreds of pounds on lights now and I wish I just spent the money from the beginning on my Chihiros RGBW Pro 90cm. It is all the light you will need for the size of tank I have and I only use it to 50% capacity.

You should never let kids play near your aquarium! 😂 They can dump anything, ANYTHING, in there the moment you let your guard down! Seriously, you're lucky if they only dump an entire bag of fish food. I've heard stories of kids dumping ashtrays, Kool-Aids, salts, ketchups....

Try to use fert that don’t have ammonium in a tank that has more fishes eg.a few people who are new to planted tanks tent to use apt EI instead of apt 0 with so many fishes thing they could get their plants grow faster and vibrant thing to understand here is your live stock already produces ammonia so u don’t need to add them if you go for EI with so much live stock it will lead to algae bloom

Schöne, informative Tipps gerade für den Anfänger in unserem tollen Hobby! 👍Beim wöchentlichen Teilwasserwechsel nicht vergessen vorher den Heizstab auszustecken! 😉

Thanks

Buy fish by impulse...

Take your like and comment good man, thanks for sharing! 👍

As you said in first tip last Friday I just changed my fertilizer regime currently I am using apt complete but due to wrong guidance I added flourish trace to it and immediately all my shrimp died any how thanks for your advice sir thank you love from chennai India ❤

Just use a bunch of white LEDs with 6500K CT. Bye !!

Very helpful video - thank you for the great explanation.

Thanks for explaining. Now I understand clearly. 👍👍👍

what if i have lumen aquatech lumen light 120cm/ 257wats/12800 lumens/ over 500PAR in 120x50x50, 300 litres tank? i have to turn on 100% because lumens but there will be too much PAR, if i want at least 90PAR at the bottom i have to set maybe 50% of light intensity but theres not enough lumens. If i set 40% of light ai already have algae, so what should i do?, plants in tank are most demanding

A big THANKS TO U !!!!! There is a lot of light scam in MY PLACE!!!! U just helped us!!!!❤

Excellent video, useful information, thank you!

Big help.! thanks

The problem with using lumen per liter is tanks have different dimensions, some are tall while some are shallow, and light intensity will be higher in shallow tanks.

Fabulous. It's funny I never knew (or questioned) what RGB actually meant -lol.

I do like this channel and the way you explain

Another excellent video👏👏👏 I haven't seen any other channel give such a thorough breakdown on lighting. Very informative and easy to understand. This is really useful. Thanks a lot 🙏

This was a great explanation for sure, and not knowing what you thought you knew is pretty common in the hobby. Myself included , and I do enjoy reading the comments and I have found a bunch of channels that I might have missed. Thanks again for putting it together and I will be looking forward to the next one. 💤💚💙

Thank you, very informative.

Amano shrimp is way too expensive and hard to find They only available online/ in Jakarta only Cherry shrimp do same as amano, smaller, colorful, and bcs its small size, needs a bigger population

Pretty cool information,had had experiences like this myself👍

Occasionally, I saw my Neocaridina attempts to graze on my corydoras, much to their consternation. But none of my corys are sick, which leads me to the hypothesis that the shrimp wants to eat something (that we can't see) on the fish's slime coat instead of the fish themselves. Amano shrimps might also try to do the same to fishes around them. Just my 2 cents.

I'm a big believer in these shrimp no matter what. However, in my smaller tanks if/when the Amanos get too big they are often guilty of some of the things you discussed. My solution is to catch the giant ones out and acclimate them to a bigger tank.

All due respect, you've made a LOT of assumptions in this video without any evidence. It's super common in the hobby but these are pretty egregious. For example, you assume the amanos eat soft plants after adding algae-covered plants to your amano tank. Sure... Or the plant's leaves were dying due to algae already, and the amanos were doing their job as detritivores. Same problem with your conclusion about the molts - saying that amano shrimp only eat their molts quickly if they're low on calcium. Most shrimp eat their molts to regain the minerals in them. It's a perfectly natural instinct. Some of yours may have left their molts for a while but we can't really draw any conclusions from that UNLESS you want to tell me you also found your tank had low GH at that time or something. This video unfortunately did not provide any evidence for your assumptions. Visuals and voiceover were good.

Guys, there is some misinformation in this video. Do not let this video scare you away from Amano shrimp. Based on the video footage, I suspect his issue is an over population of Amano shrimp. Which, when competing for food, will become very aggressive and find alternative food sources. Some of the information here is scientifically true, (like their need for calcium) but most the rest is speculation, and unfortunately, worded as solid fact.

Very informative video! I can't get amano shrimp in my country so I purchased North Queensland algae eater shrimp. People say they are as good as amanos. They ate staghorn algae too, which was impressive. I would like to know what this algae is called at 0.16? No snail or shrimp eats it in my tank.

Totally agree
