8 years ago with this quality is insane

We hope you are doing fine

Very helpful!

I recently setup a 150 gallon tub to act as a settling tank for my pond. I have a small pump supplying it water at the top, and it drains from the top so that pond particles and gunk settle to the bottom. At the end of May I rescued a new tiny broken hyacynths and water lettuce plants to sit in this tank to extract nutrients from the water and to shade it. It's now July 1st and these plants have nearly covered the top. Yes, they are very aggressive and I can see how they could easily damage a natural waterway.

They love caves and dark places they sneak instant inside

Or you can use multiple smaller air pumps like dual AL-40's... only need to turn on what you need, smaller pumps are quieter, and when one fails you still have the other as bacckup.

I started watching your videos about 8 years ago when i got into the hobby. Time goes so fast. I hope you're doing well 🙏🏻

It's official, these guys are a goal fish for me! 🤩

3:29 this is really wrong information. Emerald Dwarfs do not get on well with Kubotai Rasboras, the Kubotais bully the danios and don't let them eat. Since removing the Kubotais from my 45 gallon heavily planted tank the emerald Dwarfs are breeding and fry are growing up on their own, add some pygmy Corys and it'll be perfect. Loving. these little dudes.

Great video❤

Can neon tetras and Corydoras hastatus be in the same tank?

Thanks mate, I just got my first clutch and it's mahoosive, all the eggs are bright pink. Thanks for the care guide.

this was the best male/female sexing guide. like, i could SEE the wrinkles, finally. it looked to me just like a line that swooped under the eye from the outside corner. and the yellow on the boys was prominent as was an almost line in the dark patterning. super clear, thank you for putting them in that smaller container for us. wow 7yr old vid and still the best one i saw on this and also unique info to other stuff that's out there. : )

this was great, thank you! (lol i just thought you were filming at night. dang crickets. glad you got 'im!)

So I CAN clean it out with vinegar solution and salt??

Did you breed them? 😮

Why are those large cichlids in such cramps conditions? Just curious.

How do you get such strong suction with your gravel vac? I’m trying to hover over and pick this stuff up but it’s not strong enough and I wind up getting closer and closer until I get a bunch sand with it and it swirls all around together and I have to pinch the tube and let it back down.

Thanks Rachel great info as usual ❤

I have an almost 4 inch long male he’s gorgeous!!!

How many gallons is the tank

Very helpful and well done.

I have 3 mystery snail buddies and I couldn't be happier with that! They have a whole 20 gallon long aquarium to themselves!

My spixi just laid a HUUUUUGE clutch. Probably 100 eggs if I had to guess.

Hello -- Is there any information on whether cherry barbs can be kept with shrimps? Or will they eat the shrimps?

They are not kuli loach

It is my first time dealing with shrimp, ( well other than 👻 Ghost shrimps ). I have only purchased them from one Petco, 3 Amano, ( although I don't think one is an Amano, it is a chocolate brown with a cappuccino froth colored stripe down her back), 4 Bumblebee, 3 Lemon & 4 Cherry). I've had them for a few weeks now and they all appeared to be fine and very active and all looked fine, ( but then again I didn't exactly know as to what I should be looking for), until yesterday... Yesterday I noticed the weird green garden on 2 of my Amano. I have removed them from their tank and placed in a spare), I am so glad to learn that I just might be able to save them. Thank you so much for the information

I miss you❤

Just wanna say I appreciate your content and I’m grateful for you sharing it with us. I hope you are doing well 🙃

Great tips Rachel. I just started rearranging my tank garage, this is prefect timing👍

Teenagers are always cranky! ❤ 🤓🔥♥️✌️

This must be several plants bunched together?

I just have an established group of 12 of these that I want to try breeding. Hopefully I can get them into a tub for the summer and get some good color from them

Love my white clouds, started with 6 they spawned so much I've now got 140 last summer not so much (Probably due to building work in the house) but this summer another 60 fry so far! I've added 6 long fin for a bit of genetic diversity, It's a great excuse to buy a bigger tank now too 😉 👍

It’d be so cool to be a fish Well maybe 😂

Amazing tank!

We caught a bunch of tiny fish in the pond out back and put them in a tank setup in the garage. Took it as an experiment. Out of the bunch, which are mostly Gambusia, we found 4.1 Heterandria Formosa. Temperatures here in Central Fl. can be in the 40s F. winter and high 90s F. summer and these retention ponds reach the mid to high 80s getting beat by the sun all day. With that being said, they have been living in another tank we had set up in the garage as well. 5gal standard, sponge filter, Ramshorn Snails, pearlweed, moss balls, fluval strat, red volc rock, a golden pothos resurrection, spangles and duck floating. Eating Cobalt Guppy food and frozen brine (1x wk.) 10% water change weekly, and weekly liquid tests. Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite consistently 0 and PH 7.2. GH & KH unknown. Temps 78-85 F. Observing them daily and watching how they interact with each other is fascinating. They have bursts of color on their fins and spotted pattern on their heads along with the cool side pattern. The males will follow each other around and joust while the female just casually snacks around. Occasionally catching the males harassing her. I've even seen them bump into the pothos repeatedly and eat whatever shakes loose. I truly enjoy these tiny natives and they have really piqued my interest in live bearers.

Just want say we want you back you was my reason to back to fish again please don’t give up I learn alot from you videos please 🙏

What is that shiny thing in your nose?

One of my favorites. Not because of the color or activity, but because of the size, they reproduce easily and being a non-aggressive species that doesn't eat their young. I've caught other small fish species that are prettier, but they were aggressive, so they didn't stay.

why let them hatch they are invaisive with rat lung disease 🤮

What is your scientific proof that they need a high/higher oxygen environment then most other fish.....

Hooe you still monitor this channel, i had a quwstion, do they eat shrimp? Id imagine theyd eat small ones, but say an adult cherry shrimp?

Hi @Rachel! :) ~ I am working on yt video project about Tonic Immobility/animals playing dead, and I was wondering if I could use a clip of your footage❓ ( I would credit you of course! 🙏)

How deep do they burrow? Viable for Walstad?

yes, you show a dragonfly NYMPH
