    Richelle, your videos make me wish I lived in the Quebec area and could visit your LFS on a regular basis. You are not only extremely informative but your passion for the fish keeping comes through loud and clear. I have been doing a great deal of research on Mbuna and want to start a 30 gallon tank. I want to thank you personally as you have provided a wealth of awesome information and each video of yours I watch helps me to make a more informed decision.

    Richelle, I just discovered you and your videos are jam-packed with useful information. I realize I am guilty of several errors you mentioned in my quest for clear water. I wonder if you could expand on a few topics:
    Do you suggest once or twice/day feedings?
    How much is too much food? I have about 60 fish (a variety of guppies, neons, plecos, swordtails) in a 46-gal tank.
    If I understand, each month when I replace the filter pads, the tank will get cloudy and need to recycle?
    Should a layer of ceramics be placed in the reservoirs of my hang-on filter/pump?
    Thanks for your time. Too many youtubers do not answer comments or questions; I see that you do and we really appreciate you.

    Thanks for the video. I enjoy the knowledge you share with your viewers. I watched this one and the one on cloudy water. I have a small 6 gal tank and it use to be clear and in the passed weeks it is dim and cloudy. I have not added new fish to the tank for about 6 months now. I do not use a cartridge for my hang on filter, I use a course sponge and fine floss media. I change 10 percent of my water weekly. Some say the water change is too much and may be feeding the bacteria bloom. Very confusing on what is correct and what is not. I do rinse out my filter media monthly in the removed fish water and put it back in the filter. I use plastic plants and I removed them to see if that would help. Should I try some of the Ceramic media you mentioned?

    Ok I finally got the water in my 29 gallon fish tank crystal clear after several weeks! I did 10 percent water changes daily making sure to treat the water I add back, I also used some clarifier solution. So now I have perfectly crystal clear water and now I’m going to be wicked cautious as to what to do next. Should I continue 10 percent water changes weekly now? When should I clean the filter? The filter is all new and must be filled with beneficial bacteria by now which is why my water is clear, when should I clean the filter? It’s like I don’t want to do anything as I finally got my water clear and I don’t want to mess things up! Help!!!

    Should you replace the ceramic beads on hob filters if your fish or other creatures had a disease or infection? Can you bleach the beads if you use a crap ton of declorinator afterwards? Thanks for the info.

    • @QuebecCichlides
      @QuebecCichlides  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Pet stores (fish stores included) have been classified essential and are allowed to stay open. The non-essential businesses are allowed to continue for shipping and car pick-up.
      The stores that are cramped and very small closed for their safety.
      The Quebec definition of "essential" is very loose
      Business slowed down for us and we're working hard on transferring it all to our online shopping store. It's crazy how all us have to completely change our business model :P We have to adapt .
      Walmarts and other big surface stores are still open and packed,. There is still a lot of risk of contagion. They're essential because they have a little food section... but people shop around for other random crap they don't need.

    Only buy your filter equipment from your local fish shop. That's if you like to spend lots of money. If you can't find what you need on eBay for about 30% of the lfs, then you don't have the common sense required to own a fish tank. Use your lfs only if you need something TODAY.
