He's so long winded

Wow, beautiful! Really looking forward to seeing more content like this on your channel.

had some tetras that I was sure were doing fine, tank had 0 ammonia 0 nitrates….one day i decided my plants needed a little help with some fertilizer so i used seachem flourish and advance….the next day all 4 of my tetras were dead :(

I wiped out a colony 7 years ago. QT new discus for about 3-4 months and they were fine in their own aquarium. One day I decided to put them all together. All my original discus died within days. So now after a long time away from Discus I have started again but I got all my 3inch discus from the same place. That’s it. I’m done. I’m growing them out until they are all older enough to go into main aquarium and another. But I won’t be adding anymore discus to my house after last time. I always tell people now to get them all at the same time and be done with it.

Fantastic. I am looking forward to seeing where you go from here.

Great video. I am looking forward to the new content.

mine are false juliis. Im having a really hardtime with mortality rate for about 6 months now. About 50% dont make it 😢 ive bought from 4 different retailers. Trued treating for parasites, bacterial infections. Nothing seems to work. I read about self poisoning, & that could be a cause. Not sure but they are my favorite & im doing everything possible to try to figure it out. I hear this is common tho.. do you find this with juliis? Heavily planted tank, sand, all other species are thriving, even glass cats which can be sensitive. Only the juliis 😢

I never do only clean the noses once a month. If your canister is clogging you have to fine of media in it 👍

I’m gettin’ a Siamese algae eater for a 20 gallon but it’s only gonna be temporary to get all the hair algae I have a 55 gallon Southeast Asian biotope set up ready to be put together but I wanna move before I get it set up It’s gonna be the only fish in the 20 gallon tank with shrimp and snails

I have a pair of discus that laid eggs and now it’s almost 3 days and still not hatched, the eggs did not turn white, is there a possibility that they are not fertilised?

Hey nice discuss

Very informative as always. Your tans are beautiful.

I have had a rough couple of months. I might need to talk with you. Please contact me.

will a wavemaker achieve the same result?

I've had my three (two zebras, one red racer) for two years now and they're still going strong. I never feed them (on purpose), they share their tank with many potential competitors: Malaysian Trumpet snails, ramshorn snails, Amano and cherry shrimp, and of course, the fish. In spite of this, they've continued to thrive and grow. Here's what I do different than most people: 1. I monitor my GH, KH and PH, and if I don't like what I see, I add a little mesh bag of aragonite to my filter for a day or two until things are more in the range of my liking. My water is naturally very soft out of the tap (most tests can't even read it accurately), so much so that most plants don't like it. I leave the bag in until the PH is 7.2 or higher. I do this as needed. I don't let it drop lower than 6.8. 2. I rarely change water. I usually just top off, and control nutrients by not overfeeding and removing excess plant growth regularly. Actively growing plants consume the most nitrate. I also don't vacuum my substrate, and when the other species of snails pass away ("Pest" snails seem to go through boom and bust cycles.) I don't remove their shells. They eventually break down on their own, leaving behind the calcium their brethren need. 3. I give my nerites access to wood (cholla and mopani fragments) and botanicals such as Indian almond leaves and alder cones. Nerites do like to eat wood and I've seen a few articles recommending keeping some for them. 4. I don't heat my tank. It ranges from 72 in the summer to 65 in the winter. Most tropical fish species are not as delicate as they're made out to be. They're exposed to those temperatures both in the wild and on fish farms. The species I keep tolerate that range, snails included. 5. My tank has been in operation since 2002. It's been moved three times. The only original parts are the glass tank itself and big pieces of granite I use for my hardscape. One of the fish descends from individuals I bought 20 years ago, as do the purple crypts and lucky bamboo (I grow it and pothos emersed for added nutrient control.) I haven't had to medicate it in at least a decade; well before I got the nerites. I do add liquid fertilizer once or twice a month if the plants look like they need it. It doesn't seem to bother the nerites. It currently has a mixture of aquasoil and blasting sand with a bit of gravel mixed in for color as a substrate. Substrate is nearly two inches deep at its shallowest point. I'm not sure if any of this makes a difference, just putting it out there. Meanwhile otocinclus are the algae eater I can't keep alive. They do very well until the consume all the kinds of algae they like to eat, then they starve. I only ever got one to eat something besides naturally occurring algae. That one lived for over a year reluctantly picking at algae wafers and other prepared foods. It completely ignored things like cucumber slices and other vegetables. However it died from the stress of the last move.

Hi these are beautiful! What offshoot wild type might these be labeled? Blue angels or?

I have like 20 nerite snails (possibly more) and the only way they die is when i found them outside the tank dry

Take care of your self first 🙏✌️🇨🇦

I love how simple yet beautiful this tank looks. What size tank is this ?

Hello, which are some of the best water heaters to use? Brands, models?…

I lost 13 neon tetras and 4 black phantom and 1 red swordtail in two days of initial treatment… now learning about the temperature 87*…. Will continue

Thanks!

On hour 26 of a power outage. Ty for your knowledge.

Most of this guys advice is pretty good. But recommending a 30% water change daily is garbage. Even multiple a week is to much. Doing this will stress your fish for sure. It is also totally a waste of time. Once every month or two is fine even longer is fine to. Get plants growing in and out of the top of your tank and the water will purify its self and requires no maintenance. All natural baby 🙌🏻

Which angel is this?

What type(s) of lights do you use?

What type of light do you have?

Every Aquarium keepers nightmare! Leaks! Sorry to hear that that happened to you.... I know it's devastating....

What about freeze dried black worms do u reccomend those I’m thinking of using a mix of both pellets and black worm

Excellent Information!

Hi could I keep 3 or 4 discus in a 50 gallon Some potted plants and drift wood I don’t have room to upgrade tank ✌️🙏🇨🇦

Great information. Thank you so much.

Can I put floating plants in the aquarium like hornwort?

I am from India.I am a hobbyist. Using Metronidazole for internal parasites. In your video described perfectly. I like it. Thanks.

Both of them are fast. Not so easy to catch as neons

Very good choice. I have had cardinals attacked and half eaten. And also with a lot of genetic inbreeding. Rummy nose and lemons work really well. Rummy noses are difficult to adapt. I managed to get no losses by putting them on a drip for 40 min and 15 min of temperature adaptation

FYI, I've seen other people have a bowl or bag with tank water waiting and then they just go in the tank with clean hands and gently go in and catch them by hand. All that I've seen do that worked well. The fish stayed very calm and all was good. I hope this helps.

any guidance on specific steps to lightly rinse/clean filters? unplug power first and what are the steps after that. can't find anything online about this.

Great video as always. Thank you!

I had the same experience with Cardinal Tetras that were very small. It was sad to watch.

I have black Neon Tetra that you suggest a few years back. All still doing great!

Some great choices. Can I have 20 Rummynose Tetra in a 120 Gallon Discus Tank?

I want some Rummynose tetra for my next tank one day.

I change the water to 50%. My goldfish starts dying and got the fungus. Will it work what to do?

If I was to use water 7.8 kh 5 gh 5 what other fish could I use with discus ?

Thanks!

Thanks for this terrific video. I unfortunately experienced the killing off my cardinal tetras in my beloved Discus tank. I learned a lot. Take care.
