I love your content 👍👍 your channel has to explode eventually 🎉🎉🤞🤞
Thanks so much for the support!
nice update. also set up my iwagumi after using the dark start and had some sig plant melt with echindorus tenellus tissue culture and diatoms about a month and a half after planting. seems to be getting better now though. beautiful setup you have there.
Happy to say it recovers phenomenally from melt! Thanks for watching!
I highly recommend Chili Raspbora. They don't eat shrimplet but they help clean up the copepods outbreak in my tank. Plus they look really lively compare to Shrimp
Sweet Karma is going to keep coming your way as I have said before and here are a couple of my A+ choices , adding Otto's to a CRS colony is the only sure thing to look after them which is why I have been hesitant to add anything other than Nerite snails but I think it's worth letting my all-time favorite fish have a chance to make it a peaceful community and it's the Green Neons playing nice and I agree with the awesome advice to get BUCE on the line for some shrimp safe intakes. Last thing I have to offer is something that is perfect for the way you get after those larger water changes, and it's the GLA three way water change valve $15 +. If you have never then you can always say that Stony is right , especially if you want to have the water change not effect the shrimp and it's perfect for unrolling your new hose $15+ to put out a window and help grow who knows!!!
Thanks so much for those great recommendations Stony! I'll look into those products
Hi Logan, really lovely tank. But: Better change your pipes now then later coz you will end up fishing a big amount of your shrimp from your filter with that skimmer. Believe me. I had the same! I swiched to some nifty stainless steel pipes and changed the porous inflow with a finer mesh stainless-steel inflow from amazon to prevent even the shrimp babies being sucked in.
Great tip! Fortunately it's easy to remove from the OASE pre-filter but better to take a proactive approach like the one you suggest
Boraras Brigitae would be the first thing that comes to mind for an extra pop of red. But I've recently found that gentle bottom dwelling fish really compliment the peacefullness of an iwagumi. Personally I would add 13 or 15 pygmy coridoras.
Pygmy corys are so cute!
Albino firecracker cherry barbs , sticking with orange /. Red royals be nice as these hold design is also more solid in color consistency , green and then the reddish lave rocks .
Thanks for the cool suggestions!
Hi Logan I know a thumbnail trick you can use change the thumbnail and make the shrimp visible. Everything else is good just make the shrimp visible.
Just adjusted the thumbnail. What do you think now? I'd love to hear more about your tip
@@LoganRandoAquascaping Yeah Now much better. and the shrimp text is not that visible
a nice grupe of Kubotai Rasbora woulde make this tank look great
chili rasboras and tiger endlers
Boraras Brigitae or Tetra amande :) btw i started with 10 Neocaridina Orange shrimps now i have +100
Wow! Impressive breeding!
Green neon tetras chili rospboras

Seen a few videos now, love the short format and how much you pack in there without skipping anything also very high quality. Youre a bit fruity and overly expressive, punchable might be the word. Good videos though!
Thanks for the truly honest feedback! Glad you dig the vids overall
Multicamera cuts feels weird. Dunno how to describe it but it's distracting
Sorry you don't like it, but it's very much a part of my unique style
