- Juwel Rio 450 LED: Short update on my geophagus tapajos red head fish tank. I did add some floating plants and also dimmed the lights a little bit. Honestly i'm pretty happy with the outcome of the rescape and i think my fish like it too!

Beautiful Tapajos! Always love seeing this tank 👌🏻
thanks a lot mate! 😃
Excellent tank.
thank you so much! 😃
It's so elegant and simple. Watching them eat is always fun and exciting! Amazing work, have a wonderful weekend!
thanks a lot! 😃 have a wonderful weekend too!
Merhabalar tankınız çok güzel. Sizden esinlendim önce benzer bir tank ile tropheusa başladım ama sizin video sayesinde Geophagusları tanıdım ve aklım fena takıldı. Şimdi tür değiştirdim ve artık geophagus bakıyorum. Gerçekten çok keyifli balıklar. 🙂
geophaguslar super. duyduğma sevindim 🙂
Always a pleasure to see your amazing tank creations. Tapajos looking really great. Keep up the great work and sharing.
thanks a lot! 🐟😃
Schlicht und trotzdem Elegant.
Ich find das Becken wirkt einfach nur beruhigend. Lg
Vielen Dank! 😃
Always nice to see the subtle changes. Keep up the good work
thanks mate! 👍😃
Thank you for sharing your beautiful tank❤️
thanks for taking your time to watch it! 😃
Brilliant!
thanks! 💪😃
Stunning tank water crystal clear,and your geophagus gorgeous 😍😁💜
ohhh! 😄😃🙌
I love the aesthetics of all your tanks. Beautiful and simple.
thanks a lot! 😃 pretty simple setups i would say ha ha
@@freshwatertanks sometimes that's harder to get right.
true! 😃
Ça fesai longtemps que j'étais pas venu voir tes poissons et j'adore ce que tu a fait. C'est trop beau les aquarium sombre et pas simple à réaliser. Bien joué
bonjour. merci beaucoup. oui j'ai cherché longtemps de trouver des racins si grands :)
Beautiful
thank you! 😃
This is what we call a beautiful setup.
thanks so much! 😃
Freshwatertanks you inspired my to create my own fishkeeping channel! Thank you so much!! 😃👍🐠🌱
that's awesome! 😃
@@freshwatertanks Thanks again friend!
Sehr schönes Video und tolles Aquarium, so schön minimalistisch!
Freue mich schon auf das nächste Update zu den Kampffischen und zum Garnelen Becken.
Vielen Dank! Ja werde sicher bald neue Videos machen. Momentan bin ich dabei alle Kampffischbecken neu zu gestalten. Wechsle auf Sand und nur noch Hornkraut als Schwimmpflanze. Versuche den Pflegeaufwand zu reduzieren. Aber muss sagen, dass mir die 3 neu eingerichteten Aquarien gut gefallen. Noch 2 vor mir, dann gibts ein Update. Bei den Garnelen gabs viel Nachwuchs! 😃 und viele Fadenalgen haha
@@freshwatertanks Oh, dann bin ich ja gespannt. Warum wechselst du auf Sand? Dass der Aufwand bei den vielen Becken groß ist kann ich mir vorstellen... Ich bin ja auch noch recht neu in dem ganzen Thema und finde es besonders schwierig, bei der Beckengröße das richtige Verhältnis aus möglichst perfektem Pflanzenwuchs, Beleuchtung und Dünger zu finden. Zwischendrin auch Probleme mit Algen...
Mit Wasserpest, indischem Wasserfreund und Sumatrafarn hab ich aktuell eine gute Mischung gefunden, im Vordergrund läuft es mit Cryptocorynen ganz gut. Hoffe es bleibt so. 😀
In erster Linie wegen der Optik und ich habe auch das Gefühl, dass die Pflege einfacher ist (aber gebe gerne eine richtige Beurteilung nach ein paar Monaten ab). Kann auch sein, dass ich einfach zu viel Sand gekauft habe und jetzt während der Zeit Zuhause Beschäftigung benötige haha 😃. Cryptocoryne mag ich auch gerne!
Great looking aquarium. Good for the fish.
thanks! 😃 yes it was a good idea to switch the substrate to sand!
@@freshwatertanks you inspired me to make similiar aquarium. But i dont have space for red head tapajos so i will make 240Liters with roots and sand for a group of 6-7 mikrogeophagus altispinosus.
Blackwater style.
Thanks for inspiration.
that‘s really nice to hear! bolivian rams are beautiful too! and i think they are hardier than german rams (i read that once)...
@@freshwatertanks yes and they are best kept in groups like red head tapajos not in pairs like german rams. I hope they will emulate your setup but in smaller scale :)
ah ok didn‘t know that! 😃
😍😍😍😍
😃👍
This fish are awesome 😍.
i think so too. geophagus are probably my favorite fish!
@@freshwatertanks Please, can you answer me: are the Macropodus fishes the cichlids too (???...). P.S.: Would be glad to read your opinion (!). Because there is not working now the function of searching on "O.k. Google" (!) in my device, so I can't make any surching requests, that's too sadly to me... (!!!). BfK. 😖😖😖〰〰〰
as far as i know they are labyrinth fish and not cichlids 😃
This really makes me want a larger tank now, with similar fish. Which is kind of frightening, because my biggest tank right now is 32g. But your work is very inspiring, you make it look very easy. I hope you are well, and I hope all of your Bettas are doing well, too. They have been my favourites. :)
actually it‘s easier to take cate of a bigger tank! my bettas are doing fine. i‘m rescaping all their tanks. 3 done and 2 to go! 😃
Best looking geo tank I’ve ever seen! Beautiful fish! How did you get your lighting like that? Blacked out the back glass? Nice job
thanks a lot! 😃
Beautiful geophagus my friend one of my favorite fish I pray all is well be safe
thank you so much! whish you the same! yes they are really adorable fish 😃
@@freshwatertanks I just uploaded a video on my GEOS on yesterday if you want to check it out God bless
it looks great. what kind of geos are those? sveni?
@@freshwatertanks they are Geophagus altifrons
they are beautiful too! 😃
Hi, once again ! A very good setup, designed in a style of the "biotop", that's more to nature. But, you've put less of your opinion to the floating plants, shown it too shortly. And the rose tetras aren't looking for here, like rose. Thinking, this is out off the predefed lighting, made so specially to remind more the natural area of these fishes life. BfK. 🌱🐟🌿⭐🍀🐠🌱⭐🌿🐡🍀⭐🌱🐌🌿🆗 P.S.: And was not looking else a notification below this video, because I want to omitted separately the music, sounding here. It is very pretty, and I would be glad to know, who's is this music (?). My "like" for this is separately too ! ☑🎼🎹🎵🎶🔊⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍😘
hi there. thanks! will try to show more of the floating plants next time. music is from „ebb & flod“, song is called giza...
Tolles Setup! Welche Hintergundfolie hast du denn verwendet?
Vielen Dank! Die Folie ist von d-c-fix, Farbe: schwarz matt 😃
nice tank if I was you I would add some low light plants like anubias but that's just what I like.
thanks! 😃 i had anubias in my previous setup which i really liked but there was always algae on the leaves so i hesitate to add them again...
Simple tank but inspiring me
yes it's rather simple but i really love the setup 😃
How could your water be so crystal clear? especially Geophagus love agitating the sandy substrate. so amazing...
i think it looks clearer on the video than in real. but i do 1-2x water changes every week so this surely helps 😃
@ Yunglin. Hi ! The sandy substrate is looking for like amazing relly ! But this is looks for the watchings only ! But the sandy substrate is much wicker of the small stones. Because it's to hard to keep on an order in an aquarium, because all the brains are gethering in the sand, and it's too hard to clean the bottom of a tank, deleting any garbage, collecting there in a result of the fishes biological activity ! All the specialists by the aquariumystics do not recommend the sand by this purpose concretely ! And our creator of this wonder is writing here (to you, self (!)), that he needs to change a part of water in his aquascape more often, showing, how much times a week does he do it. P.S.: I had the small stones in my aquarium only, instead of the sand, because I have been buying the practycal book by the aquariumystics for long fefore that, when I had busied to make my own aquascape ! And, must say, there have not any problems with the containing of the fishes, when I had held them ! And I proud with that, this book was written by my lander ! And this book is here, in Internet, too, that's pretty for me so !.. And I have been saving this book, in its oryginal, the paper kind, until our days, yet from the middle of the 70's !, when I was been busiing with the aquarium fishes ! And I know beautiful, where does this book stand pteciously,.. though it's not so importantly to me now... BfK.
Nice tank, beautiful fish! I have 6 tapajos in my tank too, love them. What light do you have? I have huge problem with algae in my tank, I have original juwel multilux LED and I think it's too powerful for tank without co2 set.
ah cool same es me! 😃 i also use the juwel multilux led. i have them on for only 6 hours. and i bought a juwel hiflex reflector, cut it in a few pieces and clipped them on backwards so it reduces the light! it works for me. no big algae issues...
@@freshwatertanks That is actualy brilliant idea. I'll give it a try, thanks!
good luck! you just need to buy extra clips depending on how many pieces you will use 😃
I wish i should have this aquariam in my home
maybe something similar? it's rather an easy setup
Finde dein AQ richtig 👍....bin grade dabei eine Gruppe geophagus tapajos red head zu finden...wie groß sind deine geophagus im dem video?
danke! 😃 sind so zwischen 12-16cm gross. denke nicht, dass sie noch gross wachsen werden... oh hoffe wirst bald fündig. sind tolle fische!
I noticed you’ve changed to sand from your usual Denerle Quartz gravel. Was this just for looks or did you have a problem with the Quartz ?
it was more for the geos! they just love to sift through the sand. now i can tell the difference. but i also like the look, even if the sand is a little bit too bright 😃
@@freshwatertanks I love the way all your tanks look , so clean and simple but it’s such a good effect
😃
Whats is the foot print size of your tank?
I've 5 tapajos in a 4ft x 2.5ft x 1ft tank with a small group of Colombian red fin tetras.
Love my geos Like you I have a simple scape with just two big lumps of wood in the middle and sand in the bottom using a fluval 407 for my filtration.
If I can was thinking of adding 5 x Altum angels But don't think my tank is big enough Be nice though to complete my full bio type setup.
Great looking tank buddy well done
thanks a lot! its 5ft x 1.6ftx 2ft but i‘ve ordered a bigger tank which i will receive mid january. i was also thinking of adding another fish but i‘ve not decided yet 😃 angels sound great but i‘m not sure if the geos would cause problems during feeding time! 🤷♂️
Think a group of Altum Angels would be ok with geos have seen them together in my local fish store Would make a great bio type
How often do you feed the Geos?
I feed twice a day in small quantities
i feed them 1-2x a day too
@@freshwatertanks yes they seems to do better on small amounts around twice a day I use frozen and pellets Do a 50% water change a week and clean filter once a month Have now taken a growth spurt
Richtig schön geworden 👍🏼 geht da mit Pflanzen so gar nichts? Ein paar Aufsitzer könnten gut passen, oder? 🤔
Danke! 😃 Mir gefällt das aktuell wirklich gut und werde keine Pflanzen mehr hinzufügen. Ich habe echt kein gutes Händchen für grünes. Weder Javafarn noch Anubias hat funktioniert. Vor allem letztere hatten in der letzten Einrichtung so oft Algen auf den Blättern. Habs aufgegeben.
Okay.. das ist nachvollziehbar; ich kämpfe bei den langsam wachsenden
Anubias auch immer wieder mit Algen .
ist manchmal wirklich komisch. auf jeden fall läuft das becken jetzt ziemlich gut. halt nur mit schwimmpflanzen...was hast du für fische?
Ich bin ziemlich bunt unterwegs:

Hi, Do Y lower GH/KH for Tapajos? Any RO filter? Do Y measure water specs? I really like this fish and I want to prepare my new tank :) Unfortunatelly i have strong hard water......:/
hi there. yes i do use an ro filter. i use 1/3 ro water and 2/3 tap water. my water parameters are: 28c°, gh 4, kh 4.5, ph around 6.8
@@freshwatertanks And how often Y change the water? 400l And RO filter - probably Your second room is bathroom😜
normally once a week 40%, sometimes even twice 😆 and it's not that bad. i "only" need 60l RO water so it's okay.
@@freshwatertanks Thanks a lot!!! Like button And subscribe😊💪
😃😃😃
schönes Becken
danke vielmals! 😃🐟
What size for your aquarium?
it‘s a 450l tank (150x50x60cm) 😃
Get some discus 😉
i already had discus before and i‘ve even thought about getting some for this tank. but i think the geos are just to agressive feeders. so feeding could be an issue with discus
Selten ein so langweiliges Becken gesehen. Selbst die tollen Fische machen es nicht aktrativer. Da fehlen die richtigen Pflanzen wie in der Natur.
Kein Problem! Das Becken soll ja genau ein Biotop Becken darstellen. Mit wenig bis gar keinen Pflanzen, wenig Licht, viel Holz und Sand, genau so wie in den Gebieten in denen die Geophagus leben. Aber Geschmäcker sind unterschiedlich. Für die einen sind Pflanzen ein Muss. Aber ja ich find das Becken super, alles andere als langweilig. Schönes Wochenende noch! 😃
