Maintenance would be plants trimming, water change/test, algae removal (if necessary) and nutrients dosage. For water change, usually change between 10 to 30% depending on the bioload or plants. Sometimes, we need not change water at all for months if plants absorb nitrate faster than fish can produce. Normally we will jus pump out the percentage of water required and top is back up with de-chorinated water.
We never clean the bottom since its always covered with plants and there are too many baby shrimps. All we do is to do water changes, removal of algae on glass (if any) and dosing of fertilizers.
Hi. I believe for such fountain pump, the 'valve' to controlling the power/strength of the output caused vibration which causes the noise. Actually it is good to have strong filter/output. Why not try diverting the outflow or add a rainbar?
Hi. Otocinclus and Bumble Horn Snail are algae eaters and they will not damage or harm aquatic plants. You can use them in your aquarium at ease. But please take note if you are using other snails because some snails eat plants with juicy leaves. E.g. Staurogyne .sp.
Yup they are house together since they wont inter-bred or rather chance of them inter-breeding is extremely low. Yes, CRS are breeding in this tank but rather slowly. They do better in species tank, i.e. tank just for them alone.

How are the cherrys and crystal reds together? Have they bred your tank? I never had any luck with the crystal red shrimps, but my cherries have continued to flourish....
Wow. This is some of the best footage of tanks on TH-cam. Great close ups, great plants and no annoying voice overs. Really well done, thanks!
Thanks!
This was an old tank, the temperature was about 27 to 28 degree C. We use aquarium fan for this setup.
The boras briggitae swim like guppy fry! they are awesome looking fish.

Thanks! We are using T5.
Most of our tanks are run by an external canister filter. We use hangon filter for smaller tanks though.
Yup, the plants are producing enough oxygen for the fish in the aquarium.

Thanks! We are using aquarium soil.
are you getting air for your fish just by using plants?
How do you work your water change?
How are the cherrys and crystal reds together? Have they bred your tank? I never had any luck with the crystal red shrimps, but my cherries have continued to flourish....
Hi,
How do you clean (if you do) the bottom of the tank when it's covered with plants?
what kind of filter are you running?
Hey what temperature do you keep it at? Do you need a chiller?
The music is from youtube library.
you make my aquarium look depressing
i wish i had more pygmy cories :( i only have 5
I have watched many of your wonderful videos! May I ask what camera you're using? It's crystal clear and really amazing!
specs please :)
so what type of shrimp did you end up with after they started breeding with each other.
Would be nice if I can see the tank instead of the shrimp all day
you watched a 7 min video "all day"?
Really impressive setup. How many gallons? I love those snails. Subbed ya. Check out my channel!
