  • Juwel Rio 450 LED: Made some bigger changes to my geophagus tank. I was looking for new wood for a long time and finally found some nice pieces. I did rehome the bristlenose pleco and the lemon tetras got a new tank too. I must say that i really like the new setup and my fish seem to like it too.

      @freshwatertanks  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      you‘re right! 😄 after 1.5 month with this setup i‘ve made some smaller changes. added a cryptocoryne aponogetifolia from my other tanks as a test. they did not uproot it so far. also added more rocks and 15 rosy tetras as dither fish. my geos feel MUCH more comfortable with dither fish and it looks nicer. will probably add some more. sometimes a setup need some time before it looks „finished“. im happy how my tank is developping. will sure soon make an update video. 😃

There is an orange variant of the lemon tetra and the kitty tetra which is very similar to the lemon, but may be a bit thicker and has a black spot on its caudal peduncle.

    Beautiful tank and a very nicely edited video. Sad to see those lemon tetras and pleco say goodbye to the Geos. Why did you rehome them? I am just curious. Would they be eaten by the Geos? I have 7 cardinals in my 120gal. Can I add Geos with them? Will they eat my cardinals?

    • @freshwatertanks
      @freshwatertanks  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      thanks a lot! 😃 the geos didn‘t really attack the lemon tetras but i would not guarantee if it would be the same with cardinal tetras. i personally would not risk it. i rehomed the pleco cause he was a little bit agressive during feeding time... now i keep them with rosy tetras. works well. also a high bodied tetra.

    • @freshwatertanks

    • @jkrew4347
      @jkrew4347 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Was wondering where the lemon tetras went. That’s a thought to do..I actually have all my driftwood with Anubis roots growing all over them and after a year or so their dark green roots look great on any driftwood in my opinion, let alone the plant itself, my tapajos are enjoying their food on a anubius dinner plate as we speak. Lol. Was curious if it made their colors different at all yours seem more pearl/yellowish (tan) skin than most. Makes sense bc of how dark the tannins are. I like it. They sure do love there brine shrimp don’t they ;)

      yesterday i called the aquarium store and they didn't have any anubias already attached to driftwood. so i've decided to add cryptocoryne aponogetifolia which i have in two of my tanks. i've surrounded the plant with stones and i hope they won't uproot it. will see. hope it will work out as it looks really nice. so far everything looks fine. if it's not workin i will go with the anubias like you!
