The Darkside of Aquaristics🌑🦐: When Your Hobby Turns into Nightmare 🙈

[@pieterboersma5518]

Well done.
Let nature do his work ✌

I’m getting flashbacks to my nightmare tank. I moved 4 times with that tank and each time was a disaster. The honey gourami I had lived 5 years though.

[@PlantFishPeace]

Oh maan. I cannot imagine moving with my 6 tanks, but it will sure come sooner or later 🙈😄 at least the fish liked it 😄

[@pntkmr]

I scapped a new tank & same thing happened. The wood got detached from stone & started floating. So I zip tied it to the same rock. Easiest fix I could think of. 🤔

[@PlantFishPeace]

Thanks for the tip! I will get bag of those so next time I have SOS solution by hand 😄👍🏼

[@brunocline9410]

Your tank looks great

I just purchased an aquarium which holds 90 gallons without having any experience and now after watching this video I'm already free falling from the sky ¯\_( ͡👁 ͜ʖ ͡👁)_/¯

[@PlantFishPeace]

Oh wow, I have always wanted such a big tank. Well, it should be way easier to keep bigger tank in a good shape. 😊 It is so easy to disrupt a balance in a small tank.

[@raja_chowdhury007]

Thank you! You aready have so many tanks haha.
I hope I'll be able to manage it else cleaning up the tank is going to break my backbone easily 😂

Couldn't tell for sure what kind you tried, but the super glue with filter floss trick only works with liquid super glue. I can very much relate to your pain, thanks for sharing. I wish you the best of luck and blessings!! ❤️

[@duene2k]

It does work with gel super glue, but it takes way longer to harden. Also it works best when the wood and rocks are dry.

[@PlantFishPeace]

I believe it was a liquid one, but I have tried the gel before and it was even worse. Thank you, likewise 🥰

[@claudekrier4216]

the trick is to use cotton floss (e.g. part of a demakeup pad or a cigarette filter or…) (not synthetic filter floss) and that the floss is slightly wet.
Put everything in place, drip a drop of liquid super glue and you‘ll immediately see it react (white smoke goes up). It gets rock solid within a glimpse.
Just keep your eyes away from the smoke (best use protective glasses and of course rubber gloves… ). 😂
And of course it gets way easier when you practice before with 2 two random stones or branches.

Boraras brigittae? I like this fish but could not find it out in my region. I am sick and tired fighting BGA for 2 months. Keeping balance in aquarium is quite hard. Aquarium is lot of fun as well as lot of troubles you may have. I wish you luck with yours one.

[@PlantFishPeace]

Exactly, I got them from a small local seller. They are not available in the classical comercial pet shops usually. I had problems with that one too. A black out therapy kind of helped, but didnt clean it up completely. Have you tried Blue exit? Together with reducing lighting and moving the tank to cooler spot it helped me. Thanks and I wish you luck too!

[@lazyremnant380]

I'm new to this hobby (just set up my first planted tank 2 months ago) and today your video appears in my feed. I learnt valuable lessons from watching this (and the previous algae catastrophe), most importantly that I have to test and prepare any wood in a bucket of water first before chucking it into a tank, or.... suffer the consequences. 🥲
Maybe I'll just stick to rocks for now. 😅
Anyway, uh, good luck with that tank, I decided to sub to you too, if that's any consolation. 😂

[@PlantFishPeace]

I am really happy someone can learn from my mistakes. 😄Hope your aquarium will be issue free! :) wood is great, and if you get small piece, it can be easily held in place with stones, so go for it. But it is always good to presoak it. Especially redmoor wood can emit a terrible chemical odour. Thanks for the sub! Appretiate it 🥰

[@sahilali-kr8bs]

Is mola mola fish survive in 2ft aquarium

[@PlantFishPeace]

You mean that thing that can weight up to 2 tons? Definitely worth a shot 😅

[@cassidyrose710]

oh my goodness where did you get those shrimp? they're gorgeous!

[@PlantFishPeace]

I know, right? They are actually home bread. My friend picked out not so well colored crystal reds and eventually they turned this pink. I didn’t see them anywhere else, so I am really affraid I might loose them forever🙈 but fingers crossed they will make it and breed!🤞

[@samanth_k_nanda]
