      I was thinking that myself. 2/3 the fun he seems to have is just doing projects. I think the biggest mistake he could possibly make with this is if he tries to put it into a permanent unchanging setup. He needs to set it all up so he can do something new on things or keep modifying and tweaking to make and keep things interesting for himself.

      Exactly. I thoroughly enjoy the DIY KING. But why put them through that stress? It just doesn't seem like it's worth stressing them. But I'm no pro. So I guess I could be way off base?

    Love the vine wall look!! Btw i always forget to mention but they sell door stoppers for the actual hinge instead of screwing it to the floor. If you use the hinge stop it goes on the middle hinge of the door and it wont create a trip hazard on the floor! 👌

      I pretty much stopped doing water changes on my heavily planted 75 gallon. Only time water came out, and got put back in, is when I NEEDED to vacuum the substrate. I somehow got it to be self sustaining for the most part.

    When my kids were small we had a 10 gallon tank with 8 betta in it - all males - started together when they were very small and lived together and would display but never fight. Not sure why it worked but it was fun! They did have lots, and lots, and lots, of decorations to swim around and lay on and we never added any other fish.

    So happy for you. Your excitement is so good to see. 3 things. 1) Rules are meant to be broken, so do what imagination wishes you to try. 2) Absolutely love the plant background. Think it would look great with the live Pothos. 3) Almost cried seeing the Oscar rank in shambles. Lol.

  • @KevinSmith-bt7dv
    @KevinSmith-bt7dv 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Each Fahaka puffer has its own personality . So keeping friends or food with it is possible , but it depends on the puffer . What worked for me was I added my puffer last to the tank . I had a large school of mollies and a bulldog carnivore pleco for clean up .
    The puffer after introduce to the tank never killed anything unless it was introduced after the puffer . The pleco and puffer would fight over food but the puffer would hurt the pleco .
    I use to hand feed my Fahaka and it gain my trust enough to pet him . I use to rub it's belly from the side. Never from the front , well atleast if you enjoy having your fingers .

    You can always still do the rock wall from the ground up to about 24-36 inches and cut up those plants you have hanging on the wall spread them out so they look like they're underwater plants like seaweed. I have a friend who put his Fahaka Puffer with his Flowerhorn and it's been almost 8 years and they still are doing just fine. My friend said the only thing that happened is their appetite grew probably because they see one another as competition. My family was asking if Bryan Barczyk was going to hook you up with your reptiles for your gallery? Either way, it's coming along nicely and we're looking forward to seeing the finished product......GL Joey!!!

    An idea popped up while you were panning over the entire room from the stairs. That "loft" like space above that entrance or closet on the right, might be a a place to have a wall sized Paludarium, with beautiful tropical plants up there in the sun, overhanging the wall and into a large shallow tank with more plants, water or maybe a reptile/amphibian enclosure. Just an idea. Cheers from Arizona.

  • @Pentagram666mar
    @Pentagram666mar 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This gallery made me join! :) best luck during making new gallery! As of „what shouldn’t work but it work” i have one answer- Senegal bichir with discus. Every discus entusiast will turn red by only thinking about weird fish with discus but if you ll think about it- bichir comes from shallow waters which most time of a year are really hot just like discus need hot water, bichirs are slow eaters and many times there is a difficulty to feed them when they are kept with CA or africans, with discus you have no problem. I have pair of discus with Senegal bichir in black water tank and it looks amazing, beautiful cetner piece fish and an odd one looking like weird child of fish and lizard :P both discus and bichir are albino
