- Today, we're taking a look at my friend Aaron's Brackwish Water aquarium. It's filled with Mono, Scats, Mollies, Catfish, Eels, Gobies.. you name it. We also show you a sneak peek of his new Angler fish.

This what the Co-op should have done with its 800 gallon and 16g tank. THIS is an interesting,fascinating aquarium. My only caveat on Aaron's set up is that those fish are going to need a much larger tank soon.
Monos are the one brackish fish I really love, beautiful work Jimmy!
The eel looks like a muppet when it's in the cave lmao😂
Gonzo. lol
Lol
Careful, dude, that's a SNOWFLAKE EEL!
Really easily offended...
VERY COOL , nice seeing something we (I) don't normally see, thanks for sharing!
Dude this is excellent. I wish my adhd would let me focus on one tank done right vs 17 done fairly well. This is very inspirational.
I've been there. I got overwhelmed and didn't have the time to care for all of them. I am down to 3 tanks and a pond now. It is nice focus on just a couple now
The swords seem to be slowly giving up in the salt, but experimenting with mangroves would be neat. Add some Archerfish too. Monos are cool. Scats slowly torture each other to death.
They are gonna grow back up when fully transitioned
@@CreepturesLair I think I also read once that Pinnatus Batfish also come from brackish mangrove areas. Brother, nothing is cooler than the coloration and shape on that fish. Gets big though. th-cam.com/video/l-4M65E0Mr8/w-d-xo.html
So cool!!! The eel is mesmerizing and I want that anglerfish lol
They are so cool and so many colors. I love your Terrapin turtle. I almost got one after seeing yours, but decided to go Brackish fish instead
So cool, some really awesome fish in there. Love seeing unique stuff like what Aaron is doing. Great video Jimmy
Awesome video, great to see a side of the hobby a lot haven’t seen before. Very well shot as always. 👍👍
That's a lovely aquarium! I didn't realise eels were so fastidious about their caves, very interesting. 😊
Their behavior is so fascinating. So much to learn about them
This is really awesome, especially since he's been in the hobby for 7 months! Also that eel is amazing
Wow that’s cool! I started last August 😊 I think my tanks are pretty neat too but you can definitely see how a bigger budget benefits a beginner. I’m sure it was also super helpful living so close to such a great and knowledgeable fish store!
I just found this chanel and I loved it, I love the camera work and the close up shots of every fish.. great material
After many years in the freshwater (only) hobby, I just started my first Brackish tank with 2 of these Gymnothorax tile Eels! I'm loving them but there's not much info out there on them or brackish set ups. So, thank you for sharing yours!!! :D
Awesome work Jimmy, very nice tank never seen such an interesting brackish water tank like this before .
Very cool brackish water aquarium, a lovely video once again!
I love how colorful & unique brackish water fish are.
For someone who has never done a sw tank, I’d be much more excited to do a brackish tank!
Really love this video. Its nice to see such a unique brackish tank.
DOPE!! those are some beautiful fish! that Angler tho!!! wow!
Awesome video.... digging the brackish tank
Jimmie, I'm glad he let you show us those beuttifull brackish aquariums.
This was so cool. Unique (to me) brackish fish. I really like that tank. Awesome video quality as usual, Jimmy.
💕👍💕
Superbly salty!!!!! Well done my fishy friend 👌
Love this, my brackish stocking is very similar .010 sg, mono sebae, GSP, mollies and a columbian shark. I've been having trouble getting plants to grow in this, I'm gonna try out some swords now. Thanks for the video Jimmy! It's nice to see brackish tanks showcased! Definitely gonna improve my own after seeing this.
Nice man I use to have a brackish for my green spotted puffers. I turned my tank into a full marine set up my green spotted puffers are in it now with my corals.
Fantastic upload! 👍🏻👍🏻
Dude. The colors and markings on those skats are insane! Dope setup. Just finished a 20 gallon brackish for some mudskippers myself. Running waterfall and all. Brackish is where it's at lol
This is this nicest brackish tank I've seen
Your videography are amazing...I'm always pumped when you put up a video!
Thank you :)
that eel is so cute
This has sold me on setting up my tank as a brackish tank Thankx man
Just had to sign in to give a thumbs up after watching this video. You're developing a really good track record of making each vid exciting.
Thanks Robert!
Omg This reminds me of 'morry' the gymnothorax tile I Had for such a long time.... RIP Morry.
Awesome tanks. Great job!
They are such great morays and super active. My favorite thing is feeding him
@@CreepturesLair they are just like puppies dude they can be nasty but with time once they get to know you and become more confident... I swear, they even come out of their cave and shake their heads a few times then just stare at you and sometimes they even come out of their place and do silly stuff, not for food or anything.. but just to get your attention! I had mine since 2015, she was only a few centimeters long... And then she came to be 40 something centimeters... Sadly she/he passed away some months ago while feeding... Usually I gave her tilapia which she/he loved it.. One day at the fish market they were out of it so they sold me other type of fish which I noticed was extremely fatty and the guy who cut the portions (supposedly spineless as I requested...) When I came home I felt a little spine... I remove it but it was to late... She tried to swallow the portion but it got stuck I tried everything I could Possibly do to save her/him.... But my buddy eventually passed away....
Enjoy the one you have; they are awesome!!
@@MRS-pz4me Absolute water puppy. Mine loves Silversides. If their eye sight wasn't so poor I bet I could feed him by hand
@@CreepturesLair totally agree! Mostly because they pack a really nasty bite... You don't wanna get bitten by a gymnothorax tile... Once they get to know you, most probably its not to hurt you.. but they track by smell and when they have their target right locked of ... Wow... It's amazing.. They strike with such an amazing speed and bite strength...Then the secondary jaws... But even without using their awesome secondary alien like weapon, just their their primary jaws packing really sharp teeth + bite strength + that anticoagulation substance in their mouth... Yeap it's a promised trip to the ER. One of the workers at my LFS thought that he could just stick his hand inside the tank of their store pet gymnothorax and grab his/her cave in order to show her cause it didn't wanna come out (the store was full of people, really bright white fluorescent lights everywhere... And for some reason he turn on the lights of her tank as well...)
Immediately "the show" turned into an unexpected dramatic event... they had to rush him to the hospital,... It Was a nasty injury, lots of blood everywhere and that's all I'm goona say..hehe. Nevertheless Morrays are often lovely pups full of personality.
:)
Wow! Your videos are always amazing. Great job!
😊
Wonderful footage 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Jimmy! another very nicely done video. I think there could be a lot more out there on Brackish water tanks. I have always adored the Monos and didn't know they get as big as Aaron says. Very nice.
I heard they get even bigger in the wild. I would love to see them in their natural environment schooling with a bunch of others
@@CreepturesLair I agree. That would be an awesome sight.
WOW, that’s one awesome aquarium!
No Mudskippers?!?? No Acherfish?!??! Get this man some 😂
Give me too, :D
Lmao! Cory has the Archers already and Zenzo has the Mudskippers. I would love a paludarium with Archers someday though
What a odd looking eel. Amazing but from you at this point it’s expected ! Where’s my groot print ! Lol
I'm so jealous of the brackish frogfish!
Love the scats!
I really needed this.
Beautiful aquarium
Frogfish are the Best! . Def my dream fish
Great job
Oddball fish are the best I swear 🙌🏼
i absolutely LOVE frog fish. nothing quite like them
Perfect weather for catch and cook 😁
I will soon! It’s been raining and cloudy lately.
The old Steinhart Aquarium Sam,had an Archerfish brackish tank that was sort of a paludarium also. What they did was add Mangrove roots with oyster shells glued on. Looked very nice. I consider Mono sebae to be one of the most elegant fish that can be kept. I saw 6 large ones brought in as a trade at the LFS many years ago and they were magnificent..deep bodys. I have yet to see a large tank on youtube with them. A shame. Scats are great and personable. Just watch they don't over eat themselves to death because they will.
IF it wasn't for my aquatic plants..I would go brackish.
Cool video Jimmy. Something new to me.
Love your videos keep up the good work
Beautiful
Now I want a brackish tank!
Love this tank. Thanks
Very awesome!!!
Amazing photography!!!! Very talented! Keep up the great work. Only been watching for a few weeks now but... WOW!!! Would like to a spotlight on angler fish... maybe you can put a bug in Corey's ear. Lol. Or if you have done one, I'm sure I'll find it soon. Again, love the channel and keep up the amazing work!
Hope to have the Angler video ready next month if Jimmy isn't too busy. He is in my 20 gallon QT tank right now while setting up his 29. If it is not ready by then we might do just shoot the video from the tank he is in now. He has been doing great this past week I have had him and already growing fast.
He's going to need to upgrade to a massive tank to keep all these big fish in the near future. I'd say a 300 gallon at least. Great video! I love brackish fish. I've got 2 Columbian Shark catfish of my own. Keep in mind they are full marine fish when fully grown and can grow over 18 inches long.
Yep, upgrading in a couple of months once I finish my saltwater tank for the Anglerfish
Awesome vid...
Love me some brackish fish!
awesome brackishneeeessssssss!!!
Nice.
Some of these fish look like angelfish but different
Awesome
have two puffer .. one morey eel .. one mudskipper one pleco ..in a 4x2aquarium
what can i add to the tank??
Glad you got to go there!!
Still in love with the celebes
Hopefully someday you can have them again!
What type of plants are those ?! And is the tank still up??
Man I love this tank! Did you ever do an update on it? I've got pretty much the same setup. Finally just got my scat today!
He tore it down a few months later. He’s into terrariums and frogs now lol
what are the small white striped fish? like the one in the thumbnail
Hey man. Do you still have any of the plants in the video ? I have a 1.01 and dont know what plabts to grow . I also got filamentous algea and i dont like it. Any suggestions ? Thanks
love love
Cool video bro, I really like seeing stuff ya don't see much. Really diggin his brackish tank especially the variety of species. The Figure 8 puffer & "freshwater" Snowflake eel are why I been learning about brackish tank but been looking at the freshwater Tiger Moray since I saw a couple ppl who had a ones that were 6-7yrs old they had in freshwater the whole time. Might do a fowlr tank 1 day tho I really like the Morays
The Gymnothorax Polyuranodon "Freshwater Tiger Moray" are beautiful. I had 3 of them before, but nothing is near as active as my Tile. Either way they are so much fun to observe.
@@CreepturesLair Right on thanks for your reply!! If ya don't mind me asking what size tank did you keep yours in?? Was it planted etc..
?? I've been doing my research but nothing like asking someone who's kept them what they found successful.
@@BigDsmoke I have them in a 75 gallon right now, but planning to upgrade to a 120 or 150 gallon for the Scats and Monos. Figure 8s only get about 4 inches and minimum recommended tank size is 15 gallons. I would put them in a 29 gallon though. Mine are really active and could use the extra swimming space. The Eel minimum recommended is 60 gallons, but the 75 gallon would be a much better foot print to make some caves for them to explore. Mine is 21 inches right now and is super active
@@CreepturesLair Right on thanks I really appreciate the information!! Yea I saw that on the Eel but like to hear what ppl who keep em say their recommended tank size. I have a 75g acrylic that's 5' long 18" wide but 16" tall. I have 3 foot long rope fish & right now a Lima Shovelnose catfish & a couple 4" clown loaches that had 2 go in when my 130g started leaking but are going in a 135g soon.. I had 3 clowns but lost 1. But when I put the ropes wit my 2 bichers in a 125g I was thinking about a tiger moray for the 75g
which is the tiger like fish with Black bars and orange color ?
What plants will grow in brackish tanks??
What's a good recipe for instant reef salt and water?
I started with half cup per 5g in a 10g quarantine and got about 1.004SG.
I'm bringing home a Knight Goby and want to get this right.
I'm shooting for around 1.008 SG
What a nice tank!!! I really like the angel type fish with the stripes. Super cool shaped fish. Thank you for a peek at his tank and I will be checking out his channel! 👍😁😉
so did you get those plants to ever grow in the salt?
Gonna need WAY MORE space my friend. Scats, Monos, and Colombian Sharks get BIG my friend. Beautiful aquarium, but be ready for 250+ gallons for what you have NOW. I've been into Brackish since I was a kid in the 80s. You're missing the coolest Brackish water fish btw. Anableps anableps. You say u dig obballs? Set up a tank for a small school of Foureyed Fish. You'll thank me later
You mentioned specific gravities of 1.01 and 1.08.
Are you referring to 1.001 and 1.008?
You can keep figure 8 puffers with those morays?
Short of archer and dragon goby! Then would be perfect
I love your Snowflake Eel, even if he is easily offended...
;-)>
Did I miss where he said what plants he was keeping in there? I've got a 29gal brackish tank and my plants STRUGGLE! java fern, val, and an anubias I eventually had to rescue! It's even low end for brackish at 1.004!
The eel doesn't attack any of the fish? Mine were crazy.
Awesome Video Thanks for Sharing FishFam NJAE19
I know this is old but hopefully someone sees this,
What’s the thumbnail fish with the vertical stripes?
@0:48 what in the sesame street was that? 😂
3:28 What's the small fish in the middle foreground with the bright orange back and black stripes?
I believe its red tiger scat
Amazing tank and fantastic video!
Do you know the name of that castfish species!??
They go by a few different names, but most commonly known as a Colombian Shark. They have them on Live Aquaria if you are looking for some
What is that scat type looking fish
Will the eel eat these fish when it grows?
One more eye catcy fish for brackish water is bumblebee gobi!
I just checked. You can buy artificial mangrove roots. Just add oyster shells and clams with super glue..great exhibit.
The 800 gallon tank should be brackish in my opinion that nobody asked but I give anyway..lol...
I'm confused. 1.01 is not medium to higher salinity
Are there any algae eaters I could put in my brackish tank
Wooow!! 🤯😍
The eel is scary.
Zwhat do redscatts eat .baby ones
3:30 What is the black and white fish with a red stripe on top?
Red scat or red tiger scat
I have a eel and having a hard time feeding it I've tried fish feeder fish goldfish frozen shrimp Frozen bloodworms doesn't seem to want to buy anything any help
I'm not very knowledgeable as I am just new in the hobby, but I have had to deal with a parasite infection already (like ich or velvet), and I know that a big sign that a fish may have something wrong is that it won't eat, even if it's a food it generally should like. Also it doesn't have to be parasites either; I think not eating is a general sign of something wrong, could also be bacterial, or illness, or fungus too if I'm not mistaken. Look up it's symptoms and symptoms of general maladies for fish online.
Very very cool! Is the eel breathing normally like that? Not struggling?
I believe that’s normal having said that.. I never kept an eel.
Moray Eels don’t have the outer gills like most fish so they need to push water over their internal gill chamber to breathe.
