เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 24 เม.ย. 2017
Hi my name's Heidi & I'm passionate about fish! I have kept fish tanks for 23 years and recently fallen back in love with the aquarium hobby all over again as my kids have gotten older and started to show an interest so here's a look at some of my adventures in fish keeping with both freshwater and saltwater aquariums from bettas and goldfish to community fish to saltwater clownfish and puffers. Welcome and thanks for stopping by we hope you stick around.
55 GALLON SALTWATER TANK IS BACK!
Update on the saltwater aquarium. The 55 gallon saltwater fish tank is back and running as a fish only with live rock(fowlr) hyposalinity quarantine system as I work on upgrading to the 125 gallon reef tank. What saltwater fish am I keeping and what are my plans for the bigger tank?

A GOOD FISH SITTER

Going on vacation when you are part of the fish keeping hobby can be a little nerve wrecking. Who is going to take care for your fish tanks while you're gone? How do you know your fish sitter won't overfeed the aquarium? I'm taking a mini stint into fish sitting at the moment so what did I do when the tank went into a mini cycle while they were on vacation? GET YOUR FISH FAN T-SHIRTS HERE: tees...

AQUARIUM LIDS ARE IMPORTANT!

We had added some extra tankmates to my kids' first 10 gallon aquarium in her room. The betta had been picking on the platy so we added 2 more platies and learned an important lesson. Any fish can jump! One of her platy fish in her betta tank went carpet surfing and ended up fish jerky!

WHAT FISH SHOULD I PUT IN MY FISH TANK?
มุมมอง 1.5K6 ปีที่แล้ว
I have an extra empty 55 gallon fish tank sitting in my bedroom and I kind decide what kind of fish I should keep in it! Should I set up the aquarium and if so what kind of fish should I keep in it keeping in mind that my tap water isn't great at my house. Help me decide on if I should fill it. I definitely want to do freshwater and I'm considering livebearers like mollies, platies, or guppies ...

HOW TO TREAT ICH | Hyposalinity Explained!
Hello! I hope you are okay. I just found your channel and hope you are well. Will you ever post again?
I looked on PetSmart's website and they have a plastic moss ball from fluval and one that says it's for terrariums. Is the one for the terrarium okay to use in an aquarium? I was told for other plans to make sure that it says aquatic not terrarium. Didn't know if the moss ball was different?
I've only been into the hobby for a year or so, but the main difference between freshwater and saltwater aquariums seems to be in the smugness of the people who keep them.
your eyes are incredible , I understand why your waters hard......
WOW you're gorgeous ! last video 5 years ago , I hope you are having a wonderful life full of happiness and love !
Bro...she not gonna sleep with u lol
@@NillymNilly93 nope, and I'm not trying to make that happen, just pointing out beauty when I see it....also only douchebags call people " BRO "
Ive found Aqeon pellets are too big. Yes you can pre soak, but id recommend smaller pallets, 1mm. I also feed them bloodworm and frozen brine shrimp, slice thaw in water mix and target feed once a week. Overfeeding is dangerous, esp pellets which can cause bloating. A filter would also be beneficial. They also love white worms. Thanks😊
My fish will only eat flakes he spits out the pellets
Marry me. Just kidding, thanks for the plant advice
unwanted talk waste my time, so skipped
Where did you purchase your heart decor
I just like the glofish tanked.
I know this video is old and you probably know already but to any others who might not when you get your ferns from petsmart and i think petco too dont forget to snip the string holding the bunch of ferns together if you dont itll smother the plants of the nutrients in the water colom being water feeders rather than substrate and kill them in a few months If you got some ferns and they died even tho your water is still testing the same thats probably why the string is also black so its hard to see in the roots but its there
How long can fish tolerate hyposalinity? I passed a 6-week course, but when the salt returned to normal, the disease returned. And I returned the system to hyposalinity again. Can I stay in hyposalinity for another 6 weeks?
at that point i’d go with copper, could be a hypo resistant ich strain
I want schooling fish but I’m nervous because my Betta is a wild monster lol but I love him
Bạn tôi chia sẻ tuyệt vời
Do lots of small water changes instead of 1 big 90% your parameters swing like crazy which is way more harmful than a few nitrates. Feed less and do 10% changes more frequently
How many glofish widow tetra to keep in a 28.02 gallons ( 106 litres) fish tank ??
Madam I want to keep glow fish but in my area ambient temp go max 50 C and now a days my tank water temp is 34 C here fan not work as they throw hot air and water temp increase so I try to arrange chiller or can I keep glow in 34 or 35 C without chiller.
this is my first time trying to keep fish so the advice is awsome.
For some reason the anubias I get from these places always die
So it it illegal breeding if your fish just end up having babies ?
They're genetically modified. I don't support that.
Great video
Oh! Crustaceans and snails for hard water!
Great vid! Very informative for a lot of north Americans. Kudos and thanks!
She gets it, she got about a 10 gallon tank, real plants, pays attention to water quality, and got a female betta, which shows that she doesn't keep them for looks
there's nothing wrong with glofish. any arguments against that statement based on faith are made in bad faith, meaning an ulterior motive. I know I'm five years late to this, but that's the simple fact.
The instructions for the bulbs say to bury them about 3/4 of the way into the substrate, but is it just better to lay the bulb onto the substrate to let it sprout?
Wow, the store looks so much differently today. The shop is not as bright and vibrant like it is in this tour. The fish quality and selection look a lot better back then too.
Wanna know something INSANE? I had 4 neons and 3 chili rasboras in a ""2"" gallon tank, rarely ever changed water, almost never cleaned the substrate, and they were perfectly fine. I barely even had a filter, just a bit of fiber material covering a tiny pump that was really only there just to move the water around a bit (though the fish themselves stir the water, so that probably wan't necessary either). There are so many ridiculous myths floating around in the aquarium hobby in terms of what you can and can't do, what is or isn't safe, etc.; and though some of it is true, most of that is based on outdated tank setups that have practically no ecosystem. Let me tell you this: A couple inches of coarse sand and some plants are game changers, which is what I did for this tank. The thick substrate allows a much more complex network of microscopic organisms to thrive and break down waist, and plants not only purify the water of nitrates among other things, but also make cycling the tank unnecessary because they consume ammonia before nitrites and nitrates. Plant roots also add further complexity to the substrate and help prevent it from being overloaded with waste by sucking out the excess nutrients that build up. Beyond that, hard water (not even HARD hard, just like 100 ppm or so gh) greatly helps to stabilize the tank, and most softwater fish and plants are fine in hard water, provided you control ph. On that note, the only times I changed water was to lower ph, as adding acid only temporarily lowered ph while permanently lowering gh, so I wouldn't advise it. The ph climbs largely because alkalinity builds up over time, and this by the way can cause green algae to bloom because this algae competes at higher ph better than most plants. Btw, the neons and chilis are now in a 20 gal long community tank; Not because there was anything wrong mind you, it just sprung a leak and I would have had to dismantle the tank to fix it anyway, so I just moved the fish over.
Rosy barb Reticulated hillstream loaches Rosy red minnows (often sold as feeder fish) Buenos Aires tetra Scleromastic Barbatus (corydora relative) Celestial pearl danios Variatus platies Are some other options. I keep most of them between 65 & 74 degrees throughout the year
I would include the flame angel and dwarf lionfish. I have had several of both and moved both across the country while in the military. They proved hardy and got along with other fish that where not aggressive toward them. That included clowns, other angels, sea cucumbers, etc.. I wasn't running nano tanks to be fair.
I literally have full of Glo fish
I want a fish that matches those eyes
I inherited 4 glofish tetras in a 5 gallon tank along with 5 neons and 2 zebras. i moved them to a 10 gallon where they are much happier. i find the GMO thing a bit freaky but I am loving having them all the same. They are gorgeous fish, very lively, and get on with their tank mates very well. They were very stressed and snippy in the 5 gallon. They are fairly territorial with each other and have their own little hangout spots in the tank, but pay no mind to the other fish.
I’m a 69 year old kid with a large school of glo fish in 120 gallon tank.
Yea I have discus. I have juveniles too so it's like 5 feedings per day which means lots of water changes.
Very very informative thanks so much .
What's your name
I've seen swordtails change sex, too. Might mention that. :)
Thanks
Great info! btw your eyes look amazing :)
Miss your videos hope you’re OK
Um we do have glo fish in California. Already strike one on facts ! Next!
Can they stay with goldfish??? I have glo purple tetra fish.
Great video.
my glofish tetra almost killed my betta
I have two long fin glowfish and they keep fighting. I have to keep putting them in time out. It's helping a little cause I keep watching to see who is starting the fight. -.- so annoying cause its tiring.
Thanks I learnt a lot from this information 👍❤️❤️❤️
Excellent! Will be using this for my next batch of new fish
