This tour was worth the wait. Such a beautiful collection! The 494 group I got from you has already grown a solid 1/4” and are doing great. I’m about to put my 519 group with them to consolidate and free up tank space.
Awesome! Thank you!
Here for example, you are so goodThat answered another question. Thanks
Insane pleco collection
Your fishroom is fab!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to show us these tanks 😊 The L174 is so pretty!
Thanks so much! 😊
I have one L-471 that I have had for at least 4 years now and it is my favorite fish I would love to have a group of them.
You have been busy as a Bee in the fishroom, theres a few new species since the last time and you had mentioned you were adding new fish. It's very cool how Clean and beautiful all your tanks are, great job brother. I know they're on the bottom of the fancy list, but the Longfin Super Reds are the best I've seen by far. Great Video look g forward to part 2. 🐟✌🌿
Thanks Eddie. More changes coming.
Always to see such beautiful setups. I need to spend more time with my plecos (L471's as well) to get some success. I'll be waiting to hear about your successes with the 471's. Thanks Tom.
Thanks Mike. Should be too much longer 🤞…..I hope.
Super clean tanks and beautiful fish. Great work, as always.
Thank you! 😊
Real nice!!!
Thanks
Very awesome videos nice tanks and breeding grreat job
Nice Tour, very nice Plecos! New Sub for you and keep it up 💯👍👍
Another great fish room tour! Great video Tom!
Thanks for watching
Really great collection of plecos and everything is very tasteful. Super fun to see them all.
Always top notch fish room really beautiful. Thanks for sharing 💗👍✌️💯
Thank you kindly
Nice.
Thanks!
Hey Tom when you figure out your L397 if you have an extra pair i'd take one. I would love to have a pair from my favorite channel. 😁
I still need to tear the tank down to get a count. One of the many projects on my “to do” list. Have not had much free time this summer. Hopefully soon.
Fantastic tour as always tom🙂👍🏻 always jealous afterwards, your doing a great job.
Superb as always Tom. Thanks for the tour
My pleasure
Great to see you again Tom! I hope you have been doing great! 😊
I am! Work sucks, and my business partner backed out of opening a fish store. Other than that……. 🤣👍
@@TMAquatics I wish I lived closer! You did a great job with the video! Nice seeing all your progress with your babies! I have 25 tanks going now and it's almost a full time job! Take care...looking forward to part two!
Thanks for sharing sir! Looking forward to Cataclysm!!!😁
You and me both!
Nice update video Tom. 😁👍
Glad you enjoyed it 💪
Love the fishtoom. . thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
@@TMAquatics welcome 👍
Thanks for putting out another video. I always find them informative and inspirational. Do you ever feed scuds or do you think scuds will eat viable eggs? Thanks for your time.
🙂 nice 👍
Thanks 😁
Hey Tom! Just wanted to say I'm looking forward to the Cory tanks! Also, I'm pretty sure you've said in the past that you feed live blackworms - are you willing to share your source? I have multiple local fish stores and none of them carry them.
I get from my LFS. They haven’t had any for over 6 months.
Hi Tom. Always great to see how the fishroom is doing. Question will you list any L181s on get gills any time soon? Thanks.
Mate if i manage to make my pleco room half as awesome as yours ill be happy!!
You should do a link up video with freshwater ichthyology girl
Pleco master class for sure!
Thanks. Rebecca is truly an expert. I’m just a hobbyist. I’ve learn a lot from her videos, especially about dietary needs for loricaridae. She’s a great asset to the community.
Great video! It was very informative. I have a question though: In your opinion, what would be an appropriate tank size for a single L471? The internet is full of contradicting infos, ranging from sizes between 10 and 40 gal.
Glad to see you back! Question! Is your water hard and have you notice it affect the spawn rates of your plecos or corys?
Great question. I use RO water mixed with tap water. I target a TDS of 100 for my Corydoras, and 125-150 with my plecos. I do not breed my fish in pure tap water. I do, however, grow juveniles out in pure tap water.
Do you have any lf super reds ready yet? Very nice, wish i was as neat n clean as you!!
Hey @TMAquatics great video! Glad I found this video especially the part where you talked about the ziss breeder box. Was trying to find out more online but had pretty much nothing. Thanks to this video, I now understand better which is better for my need. Thank you
Just wondering if there is any possibility that you could also do a video about the EBO FOOD you are using? I have some sold locally here but I am not sure which to get for my plecos, as well as the size as I see some of it is really small. Appreciate the help
Hi! If you need a specific recommendation, I can help you out! What kind of fish do you keep?
@@JLAquaticsLLC Hi, Sorry for the late reply. I honestly have no idea. I keep some L144, L397 and L46 plecos, so wondering what could fit all 3 plecos
@@JAM_PLAYS I would recommend the Softgran Insect or Seafood! It would do great for all 3 of those plecos!
@@JLAquaticsLLC Awesome. Thanks for that, what about the size?
@@JAM_PLAYS go with the 1.8mm!
👍🏻👍🏻
I envy the clarity of your water. How do you achieve it?
The way he has been since I have been a fan of the channel and from reading the comments, close to 4 years and to me in order to be able to take a minute to make a good guess that the land of sky blue water , in combination with the RO waters of TM Aquatics has been integral to raising an untold # of the fry that is the objective , and the thousands of his healthy water changes are not afraid to be made before the signs of the average hobbyist that have become increasingly popular in the hobby. ( in closing )
I would like to think that the best breeders of all the different creatures are in a few words " proven performers " or in this case of clean tanks "proactively performing " in a way I believe that success is not the easiest thing to articulate , but based on what I have always appreciated and I will be confident in the fact that it requires 3 parts

Great video. What ebo foos do your fish prefer.
I’ve tried the sponge, artemia, seafood, insect and mussel. They like it all. However, I usually buy the mussel and insect soft Gran. For Ancistrus and panaqolus, the Spirulina soft Gran is amazing. The spirulina paste and grow paste is fantastic for starting out all type of plecos.
@@TMAquatics thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Why do you pull the wigglers? Isn’t it much safer and better yield if they grow out in the same tank? Just need a few hiding spots
I pull them so I can target feed. Also, I don’t want to be constantly tearing apart breeding tanks to catch juveniles when they sell.
I approve tom ❤
What get you most money? L134 or L046? Sorry for allthe questions, but I am watching like 15 of your videos. :-D
Edit 40 videos
I'm interested to some wabenmuster, however I don't see any on your get gills store?
I haven’t listed the, yet. Feel free to email me at 550Aquatics@gmail.com. They’re $20 ea. plus UPS Next Day Air. Local PU is also available. Thanks.
Top Video! I wann 2 breed L134s with my L260s in one aquarium. U fine with that?
Yes
Yes, absolutely
I went to whatever website I can find and I didn’t see much for sale other than mostly Cory’s. Is there somewhere I can find a stock and price list?
Which fish are you interested in? I don’t have everything listed on Get Gills.
Can you really keep two types of pleco together?
Tom where do you have your fish listed for sale
I have some listed on the TM Aquatics storefront on the Get Gills marketplace. Not everything is listed, so inquire of you’re looking for something specific and don’t see it. www.getgills.com/store.product/TM_Aquatics
I would like to buy some of your L260s, Im local.
Was the all female group of zebra Plecos sold to you like that on purpose? That seems crazy unlikely to have not had a single male in a group that size
No, I bought them when they were 1” juveniles. Just turned out that way. Statistically rare, but it happened. The good news is I can sell an adult female zebra for $500+ each if I ever choose to start over. So not a bad problem to have.
Why do you have white sand, wouldn't the plecos look better with black gravel? Or is it the opposit? Come on now bro! I need answeres. Have both 134 and 397 on the way. I need your expert advices!!! 😇
