    ‎ Our general manager Robert shows off his rubber-band-flinging skills as he unboxes an impressive haul of fish and shares his top tips and tricks about them - such as golden striped goby (good algae-eating alternative), zebra loaches (great for eating snails), pearl gouramis (better than angelfish), tiger barbs (does better in at least 55 gallons), and more.

    I love the bettas, I’m going to be breeding some for years to come myself, I’m hopeful one day we will get B role of each betta once it’s settled into the rack the next day, it does sound time consuming and tedious to get shots of each betta maybe it could become its own unboxing mini series maybe along side inverts and plants “of the week” or something along those lines.

    Love the unboxings, know they not great for the stats for you but as a viwer I always find them fun, and it's nice to see different varieties (very limited what i can get to my little island (Shapinsay, Orkney, Scotland) Also, thank you Robert for your realistic number suggestions, e.g. I agree 3 is what most books etc quote as a min for zebra loaches but I have 10 and the behaviour difference is well worth the tank space! And 24+ tiger barbs also v cool (though not as awesome as the 800 gallon was with them ;))

    @2tardi ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Don’t sell Stiphodons as algae eaters. Hobbyist have to make sure they know how to make algae (brown algae or diatom). Most of these gobies starve in standard aquariums. They need harsh current (at least 5x tank volume) which creates bad environment for algae. Responsible shops would tell hobbyists this restriction.
    [kept them for years, club members imported them by themselves, brought them into the hobby]

    • @jhaych
      @jhaych ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Technically they're algae eaters though, you could just provide foods such as algae wafers as well.

    • @2tardi
      @2tardi ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@jhaych I would be very careful with Stiphodon as some of them NEED diatom for growth and staying healthy. Calling this a great algae eater is just wrong as these guys need very clean water conditions and are not easy to feed healthy. People won’t have fun with these guys if they are dead after a couple of month. Don’t forget they -at the moment- haven’t been bred in an aquarium. None of these. Not even Jutta Bauer was able to succeed (Goby Specialist).

    Ok so this is going to be waaay off topic but I came to the best fish keeping community that I know of in hopes of getting a decent answer.
    I just had a friend of mine give me a 40 gallon tank for free. Nice grab I'd say except when he pulls up to drop it off he tells me some of the neighbors kids poured gasoline in the tank as it was sitting outside uninhabited halfway filled with rain water. I washed it down with dawn dish soap and it still smells like gasoline. Will washing it down again (possibly several more times) get it to a safe condition for fish again or is there something else I can do? Or is it just a big glass box now? Super odd I know, as I'm assuming nobody has ever run into this problem before but any advice or suggestions are welcome. Thanks
