![3 Tips for New Tank Water Changes [Don't Make this Common Fatal Mistake - Watch This!]](/img/n.gif)
I’m new to the hobby (have been looking into it since May) & recently added a group of 6 to my newly cycled tank. They were eating within hours & their colouration was vibrant after the first few hours. Tested my parameters the next day & they were all on point (I do have plants to help with this) so the following day I went and bought 4 more. Same story with these new ones.
So from my experience they are very good beginner fish even into a newly cycled tank. As always it comes down to individual experience but I feel I need to express this for people thinking of getting them as if I’d watched this video beforehand you would’ve scared me right off of them
You are very lucky to have a Tropical Fish Store where the breeder is selling your source strong stock! Also there are three species. Rummy-nose tetras are small, freshwater, tropical fish often kept in aquaria. Three species are commonly called this name: Hemigrammus rhodostomus, Hemigrammus bleheri, and Petitella georgiae, but the latter two are called firehead tetra and false rummy-nose tetra, respectively. The third is the stronger of the three and not as common. You can tell only by the tail how broad it is which you have. All three are so similar that if you are not aware of which is your specie you can luck out and get the stronger of the three. Either way you are lucky as these fish have been over breed and weakened! I have some that I have had two year that are the Petittelle George Species. Nice to hear a good story and thank you! I am not trying to discourage hobbyist just make them aware that you need to know the history of the fish you are buying. Once they adapt to a tank they are bullet proof, it is just that first 2-3 days for Ich potential! Good luck and enjoy! Please subscribe and share!
I found this video the day after adding 6 rummy's and 3 clown kili's to my 30g that's been cycling with 10-12 plants and around 10 crystal red shrimp for about 3 weeks... So far so good. Hopefully I didn't stress the little guys too much. PH 6.6, but the hardness is fairly high... around 350 EC on my meter. I just got a RO/DI filter last week, so the hardness should be coming down. Wish me luck!
@@longbizzle77 you should be fine!
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto Glad to hear it! I'd be disappointed if I had hurt the little guys because I didn't know more when I bought them. So far they seem to be adjusting to the new tank ok. Subbed!
Your video and speaking skills are vastly improving. I’m not in the business, only a consumer. Your voice is much stronger and well pronounced without hesitation or pause. This is only the beginning for you. Get ready to soar! I certainly am benefitting from your knowledge and hard work. 🙌👏🐟
Thank you Melissa! I am getting better equipment which helps a lot with angles and gives you confidence in what you are saying. I am a writer and Work in the Music business so no camera shy, but a bit intimidated about the subject matter sometimes because i want to get it right all the time. Again thank you for the sweet message. Quote of the day. This will be in my new "life Quotes To Live By" Book coming in 2021
Fate is an unknown journey into the yet to be discovered destiny of each of our hearts. A journey which starts with the belief that if we hang on to the one thing that compels us to seek what we believe is our providence or predestination, that life will somehow find that undiscovered adventure that was preordained from the moment of our conception and that which we seek will ultimately find us. Believe in "Divine Providence" and that life is not scripted or prescribed by man but instead by forces that are beyond our control. If we look closely or pay attention to what the heart feels, we will find the glorious intervention we call fate… a manifestation conceived as omnisciently directing the universe and the affairs of humankind with wise benevolence. ~ George Wheeler

Thanks for this video, finally I have some answers.

great video thx !
We have a 20 gallon long, values have been very very stable so we've added our first three couple days ago, carefully working our way up to seven.
Doing daily tests to monitor their impact on the water quality and watching their feeding diligently, so far they're showing good eating behavior and exploring the tank fine for the first 48 hours.
Their colour came back right away after transport and acclimating too!
They do have a tendency to hang out in the heavier planted area of the tank (probably because they're so few in numbers at the moment) but they come out for a little adventure to scourge the bottom of the tank for left-overs or hang out in the filter flow.
Great tips, thank you for uploading and sharing your experience.
You are doing all the right things. "Patience is the way to go" Good Luck!
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto thank you!
great channel!!!!
Thank you!
I agree, not beginners fish. They stun easily aawell. Transporting in a dark bucket helps them not stress I found.
Agreed!
Damn; are these fish like discus ?!
How many gallons is the tank in the video?
I have a shoal of 14, I think. Mix of wild and tank bred. If you are having trouble counting them try taking a video as they school from one side to the other and watch in slow mo to count. If I can catch them huddled together sometimes a picture will work too. I've lost 4 : the two smallest died on day two and the other two I never did find.
Also, they have destroyed the tails on my super veil angels. Did not find that info during my research
Great Idea. I use my camera on live pic and get similar results. You taught me a better way thank you. See my latest video with my new equipment and new Music a friend is doing for me. I hope you subscribe and like as well Thank you!
Would I be able to keep 30 of them in a 40 breeder? I have a Fluval 306 canister filter, and 2 sponge filters. The only tank mates would be around 5-8 grown guppies, a gourami, and a common pleco. The tank has lots and lots of plants lol.
Again all seems like a great balance but it took me three times to keep the 20 or do that I have. Make sure you get from a good supplier and that they are not thin. No stress in a very dark bag you can bring to your store and also have them add some stress coat. I carry it with me so I always have some. Good luck.
I just got my first rummy nose tetras today. I had no idea they should be wild caught but I did buy from a local mom and pop type shop that has a good reputation. I only got 6 because I only have a 20 gallon well established tank that I have had going for 3 years with no issues. I have some plants. I moved the guppies that were in there into my 10 gallon. One of the tetras had faded colors and was by itself. It’s now back to normal. Should I get a few more? They will be the only fish in there except for the snail. I just feel at full size even 6 is a lot for 20 gallons.
You want about 23 in a 20 gallon. They will do fine. I always do odd #’s
I kinda disagree when you said they don't school in a traditional way because I have 11 rummy nose tetra and the reason why I bought them is that they are so fun to see schooling around the tank but thanks to your input I learned something.
They are very tight schoolers. If I said that I am not sure why I will have to watch the video myself.
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto 6:49 time stomp. you said they are "Shoal" type of fish they don't school. I guess I have to watch the video itself.
I may have misspoke. If I did I apologize.
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto No need to apologize, I Subscribe to though, cause we do have a common interest in my opinion. but thanks I learned a lot here.
I added 6 of them but one is dying i have it alone in a tank but hes bottoms up and im holdinghim up while his gill move idk what to do
They are hard to keep unless you get them past the Quarantine and transport phase. Then they are very hardy. It is a mystery to me why they do this. Wilds seem to de better because their DNA is stronger and they transport and quarantine better. Always ask the supplier if Tank raised or wild. If he doesn't know then go somewhere else to buy. Sorry that happened to you. It took me a long time to figure out these fish and why they just die so quickly. I have learned a lot and use Stress guard from Seachem when transporting them and Neon Teras as well. This seems to make a big difference. Good luck.
About 2 months ago I got 8 of them to add to my 30 gal tank which already have a school of neon tetras. directly added them without quarantining them. they started dying one by one and by each day and only 2 are alive now. one neon tetra also died out of 12. So last week i got 8 of them again and put them in 10 gal quarantine tank. same thing again only 3 left now after 4 days. should see if anything survives. Dont know whats going wrong. I slowly acclimate them with tank water and keep the lights off for a whole day. when i try to feed them they swim all over the tank like they are scared. Feels bad man :(
They can be hard! Check your water parameters. Ammonia, Nitrates and nitrites. I have 25 now and they are doing great! Also when you purchase make sure the store is very clean, well kept up and their water is well cared for. I can’t explain why some just don’t do well but Stress is on my list of #1 killers of these fish. Once they settle in they seem to be bulletproof! Make sure that they are healthy looking and schooling as well. Bring a small bottle of stress coat with you and have them allow you to put them in the bag. They should allow you to do that if not don’t purchase. Bring a black plastic bag with you as well so they remain calm. I have seen then die as they were being netted in the store. Good luck.
Can you suggest some fish which are resistant to NEW TANK syndrome..
1. I'm a beginner and bought a tank 20 days ago (waiting for silicone to cure). I put sand and driftwood to soak in plastic tub at the same time for acclimating.
2. I'll be setting up substrate and hardscape tomorrow in tank and do 70% water change for next 3 days (to get rid of excessive ammonia and dust particles)
3. On 4th day planning to add filter and some pothos plants to help cycle the tank naturally and daily 30-50% water change for 2-3 days depending on how dirty water looks
4. Then add aquatic plants and leave it for whole month of Feb with weekly water changes of 30-50%
5. Basically I'll add fish in March 1st week, I think the tank will be well cycled by then.
You should have no problem and nitrogen cycle should be well completed! There is no bulletproof fish for a new tank! Add your bottom feeders and algae eater such as Cory’s, Siamese’s Alga eaters and a bristle nose Pleco for the first two weeks to harden your tanks cycle. Then add your showcase fish later! How big is this tank as well?
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto It is 20 gallon.. 24x15x15 inch
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto Okay, so I should add Guppies after Cory.. I thought Guppies are more Hardy..
Nice presentation and choice of background music. My video-editing nerve was twitching though! Check your on-screen text for typos next time 👍
I know. and appreciate the valuable information. Thank you!
I recently lost a small school of these fish. I had intended to quarantine them before putting them in my main display tank (125g planted tank). I had purchased 8 of them for a 20gallon quarantine setup (no substrate and PVC pipes for cover) They all died one at a time over the course of 8 days. It was very saddening. How can these fish be quarantined to prevent disease being brought to the display tank?
I am in the same situation. Do I just add them to the new tank and hope they aren’t deseased? 😖
I have been lucky to get a good school after several attempts. Watch for thin unhealthy looking fish and make sure they are going into a tank that is 86 degrees as Ich is their biggest enemy! Many say they have no problem, but if they are new to the store stay away from them. Find a good supplier who has quarantined for several weeks. Transporting seems to be stressful so make sure you bring a very dark black bag to put their bag in and ask them to put some stress coat in for you. If they are a reputable store they will be glad to do this for you! When you get them home be slow to acclimate them over several hours in a quiet environment. Then when you have them in the tank use Paraguard for three days and keep lights low and turn them up gradually over s few days. Lots of hiding places as well. If you get this far they are truly bullet proof. I don’t care what anyone one tells you they are hard to get home and get them settled but once you do they are a beautiful fish to watch.

Hi George, I just got a school of 12 rummy nose tetra. However they are spitting out any food I give them. I’ve had them for about 2 full days now. I have tried fluval bug bites, frozen blood worms etc. Not sure if something is wrong with them. The nose is very bright nose read and they look very healthy.
Any signs of Ich? Are they very thin? Were they Tank raised or wild caught? These are all things that would help me to know what might be going on. Rummy Nose Tetra are not picky eaters unless something is wrong? Perhaps Water Parameters or something out of whack? What is the water Temp. as well?
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto Hi George, sorry for late reply. However they have started eating after 72 hours! Phew! Relived. Also, have you had any planaria issues in your tanks?
@@JATRAVELS2 no!
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto I had this issue just recently! Horrid time mate! Thanks for your amazing informative vids mate! Really enjoy watching em.
@@JATRAVELS2 thank you snd I hope you have subscribed and will share with friends!
Do you still have this Tank?
Yes snd still doing well! The longest tank running in my gallery!
These are one of the easiest and most robust tropical fish out there… Totally don’t agree with what you said. They’re perfect for beginners!
I have been to South America where these are caught and they do not travel well. Sorry we can agree to disagree!
The Art of Water in the UK they are tank bread… they are without doubt one of the most robust and easiest fish a beginner could ever hope to have
I agree with the art of water , just had a bunch die . Been keeping these fish on and off for years now and tbh they are not hardy at all and are really sensitive to anything . And yes I’m pretty experienced with fish keeping so I know sadly it’s not something that I could of changed in the tank or with water parameters
@@Somynigga I guess we can agree to disagree… I’ve also kept fish for a long time and find that they are very low maintenance / hardy fish as long as you are doing the basics like regular water changes, etc
I was told that as well.👍
