    Great project Matt. Love the idea of nano/bowl set ups. Not everyone has room for the larger aquariums.

    A breeding room would be cool and would differentiate your channel from the many aquascaping fish channels.

    • @FishShopMatt

      Yeah and there are a lot of species I want to try out.

    The part with you putting it back in the bowl after you glued the slate on was priceless 😅! The quick look of shear panic then relief... I watched that part like 5x! It's kind of the story of my fish keeping journey.... lol, sometimes it's just panic! Rummynose tetra don't fair we'll being sucked into a tube... 😢 then shot back into the aquarium because you don't know why the motor stopped running on your water pump... Panic😮😢😢😢

    • @FishShopMatt

    for filling in those tight areas with substrate, you could get a large mouthed funnel and pour from the bag instead of having to scoop in little capfuls at a time.

    Finally starting the hobby seems not too far away. I got my wife hyped for it as well. We want to start with a small tank for shrimp and a few snails to gain experience in order to move on to a bigger tank for fish a few months or a year later :)

  • @Chompchompyerded
    @Chompchompyerded หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I saw a tree stump just like that one right next to a trench in Ukraine which had been absolutely demolished by artillery fire. It didn't have the zip ties on it, or the pieces of slate glued to it, and further, it still had an extensive root system on it, but in all other ways it was just like that. I suggest that if anyone wants a tree stump like that, that they check the tree lines in Ukraine, and if you can't find one there, just get someone to do artillery practice on a tree. You'll be amazed at the results!
    Regarding the room you currently have most of your tanks in, I'd remove the tanks, make it into a bed sitting room, and stock it with chimpanzees. Why? Because it seemed like the most ridiculous thing I could say. On the serious side, making it into a breeding room seems like a really good choice. The other possibility is that you could use one of them for cold water species, and the other for warm water species. Another possibility, if you want to get into something which might need different parameters, is that one could be a fresh water aquarium room, and the other could be a salt water aquarium room. I realize that you haven't done much in the way of salt water aquariums, but might this be a time to start? If you tire of doing things under the water, you could choose instead to do something above the water, and turn the room into a pigeon loft, or an aviary. When the droppings get to be a bit much, your wife will probably kill you, but until then, it can be just as colourful and fun. Can you imagine scaping the room then letting loose a bunch of finches, button quails, and a parrot of two.
    Whatever you do with it, I'm sure it will be better than anything I can come up with. Thanks for all the hard work you do in presenting us with your videos.

  • @rickbooher8224
    @rickbooher8224 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Enjoyed watching you make the shrimp bowl ecosystem. I am liking the wood arrangement it is very creative. It a great idea for other types of small lengths of wood. You could glue the wood using the zip straps as a clamp, until the wood has cemented together. Those shrimp have a beautiful coloration and make a great choice for the ecosystem of the bowl.
    However have a question what model is the oase filter is the one you have on that bowl? How many liters/gallon is the bowl? Like the light as well do you know if all these pieces are available in the USA?

    • @FishShopMatt
      @FishShopMatt  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so so much!
      The filter is a filtosmart 60 that does up to 60 litres the bowl is roughly around 10 liters.
      As for the light ONF is a global brand so I would think they would have an American distributor. Maybe have a look over on the ONF led website.

    @ionutkiss6381 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Looks great! One question: what water do you keep them in? I keep Red Galaxy and some Galaxy Tiger Metallic but I keep them in RO water. If you keep them in tap water an update would be amazing. I know Caridina don t like tap water so I m really curious how they re doing. PS. Is the intake of the filter covered? If they ll have babies they will get sucked up in the filter.

    • @FishShopMatt
      @FishShopMatt  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah these are in tap water, we are very lucky to have decent parameters straight out the tap for keeping them. It probably could be slightly more optimal but that will come when I sort the breeding room out.
      Yeah a fine sponge got popped over that just in case.

  • @MoondyneJoe
    @MoondyneJoe หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hi Matt you asked for suggestions for the room, for me I would think breeding room, it is close to your inside activities, emergencies and easier to keep your eyes on them, that is it has to be OK with "she who must be obeyed ' without knowing the full dimensions of the new fish room /garage and your layout etc the in house room maybe used for the special, expensive, or most attention needed breeders, again not knowing your intentions, limitations or are they being bred for personal stocking or selling.. You could say how long is a piece of string, as an answer to your request.
    But whatever you decide Matt, you always create enjoyable videos, thank you

    • @FishShopMatt
      @FishShopMatt  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for watching. There isn't really a hard and fast rule. I would look at aquariums of a similar size to the bowls you're looking at and gauge it on that. If they're a similar thickness you should be fine.

    I think you could improve your trackrecord for glueing wood by using cottonball (from cottonpads). Personally i feel they respond better to the superglue than paper towel🙈

      It's a superfish honeycomb 1kg mini bag. I don't have any links but loads of retailers deal with superfish so you should find some online or locally.

    Looking into setting up a shrimp tank myself. Had a couple questions. Would you recommend keeping a heater in the tank (UK)? Are there any online retailers you would recommend ordering shrimp from? Currently I have a tropical tank myself, but looking to get into the shrimp keeping hobby

    • @FishShopMatt
      @FishShopMatt  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Depends on the type of shrimp but if you want to be cautious pop a heater in there.
      There isn't any I've personally used unfortunately, I would have a look around and read some reviews. I've been looking at shrimp cove recently but still haven't got round to ordering.

      @marcin11712 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the reply. I’ll just pop into my local Maidenhead for a browse/ chat since that’s where I get most of my fish anyways. Only thing is that they can get a little expensive in store vs online

    Great Video! Still like the other music that IA suggested for your dragonwood. 😆 I was wondering if I might ask a question. You showed your Crystal black shrimp, I noticed an algae on some of the plants in that tank, I have the same algae. I have been trying to identify it, can you tell me what it is?

    • @FishShopMatt
      @FishShopMatt  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much!
      I believe it is a type of thread algae. Generally it comes from an imbalance in nutrients, essentially an excess. The reason the algae grows in that tank is the dragon wood is leaching out nutrients and the algae is using it as a good source.

    How about shrimp and bettas? Either in separate tanks or together. I have had great success in keeping my bettas with shrimp, so it can be done.
    You could have all smaller Nano tanks with small scapes and maybe some of the smaller species of fish like chili rasboras. A lot of people keep just smaller tanks, 5 to 15 gallons, and need ideas for scaping. Either would be awesome.
    Or a breeding room would be fun too.

    • @FishShopMatt
