Noted! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah I hate when fish die but I would use a canister filter like a fluval fx2 and air stones maybe a wave maker and proper tank levels I have loaches definitely helps. . would help a lot have a good one bro.hope this could help.

I am sorry to say but this is not a healthy biotope. You need plants plants and plants plus a healthy soil to break down all the ammonia produced by these big fish. The plant that you have theredoes not seem to me to be a waterplant. So it dies and create polution. Just a filter is not enough. The amount of foam you have on the surface shows that there is a high concentration of protein. Try to grow plants first and then add the fish. Good luck next time.

They hunt in the dark. They wont eat with the lights on

Bro, you put the fish in an switch the lights of and they will EAT! Dont do pallets. It wont work. But they are awesome fish!

I think in your case its too many fish in one tank, plus too much food, amonia spike.

But that SUCKS!!!! Sorry bro

Bro, i just had my clown loaches die for no reason too. 2 died. 2 are as healthy as theyve ever been. I dont get it. But there is one very aggreaive red tail shark in with them. I think maybe he killed them. I dont know

This looks like a brand new tank esp the substrate. Was it cycled? Air exchange happens as the surface is disturbed, not from a bubbler. Do you have a nitrate testing kit? Temperature? Have you added any aquarium salt? If you have rain water coming in, where is it coming from? Is it beinging contaminants? 6:10 pretty much guarantee 100% no, it's something else.

Some medications and water clarifiers causes the oxygen to deplete as well, this has happened to me too. Its so devastating. I learned to always have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide on hand and if I spot fish gasping at the surface, I quickly add 20ml of it to the water and it saves the fish. Sorry for your loss.

Hey, like the idea. Just to let you know, this is a solid siphon, same as putting a hose in the tank. Good idea, though. I just wanted to tell you the proper name.

just ran into your channel. Amazing info!🔥🔥 i also got a pond and peacock basses 👍

One of my heaters glitch and stuck on full, when I got home my tank was gumbo. Sucks when that stuff happens.

I agree with others that your power filter was too small for the size of the tank, and for the sizes of fishes stocked. The venturi failed for some reason, so the aeration was cut off, resulting in the oxygen demand of the fishes exceeding the volume of dissolved oxygen available in the water. So the fishes started to hyperventilate. You said the rain got in. The water level was high, so you're right. So what else happened? The rain cooled the tank. The heater couldn't keep up with the influx of cold water. Don't know what wattage the heater was, but in the video it looks small. Clown loaches and Synodontis don't stand drops in temperature very well. South American tetras are better adapted to cooler downpours. Have you tested the pH? Rain water is generally acidic, and this could also have a bearing on what happened. Clown loaches thrive at pHs of 7.5 to 8.5, so a sudden drop in pH would stress them. Silver dollars are happy at acidic pHs. You lost the two species that were least able to withstand the sudden changes happening in the tank. Pity, because they were nice fish. This may be what happened but it's not always easy to diagnose from a video, especially without hard data. Oxygen depletion in aquaria with adequate aeration doesn't happen often, and when it does it tends to affect those species that are least adapted to hypoxia first, and then those species that are moderately tolerant of hypoxia second, and so on.

Heart breaking mate.Maybe that filter isn't sufficient for that size tank.Maybe add another filter or even a couple of large sponge filters to add more circulation and surface agitation.Then if that filter stops the others will still add oxygen.Sorry mate we've all been there.

Sorry for your lost man. I know how that feels. Fish loss is part of the hobby. You learn and get better. However, I have sponge filters as additional support in all my tanks. Most of them are on battery backups as well.

From the amount of foam coming out of the filter, I can say you had an ammonia spike there, and it just, well, it happened, and is sad, as an aquarist I understand how you feel, they are to us like babies. My suggestion will be to get an anti-ammonia foam, that you can cut into pieces to fit your filter, and believe me those things do their magic, just put it together with your filter cartridge, I wouldn't say that much the lack of oxygen because it has a plant, and they provide plenty of it, but I would say get more plants, they process the ammonia for their own good and the fish benefit from a healthy plant.

If you don’t mind having plants I would add floating or plants that feed from the water column. I have a filterless tank with spotted Raphael catfish and a bunch of guppies and endlers and shrimp. In some clips you can see a thick biofilm floating on the top of your tanks. You either need a skimmer or to create a natural like state in your tanks. Only issues I have is too much plant growth

I've had sudden aquarium oxygen crashes happen to me at least four times during my time fishkeeping, and it's always horrible. From my experience, the fish that are affected the most by oxygen crashes are Tetras (Neon, Black Neon, Black Skirt, etc.), Cyprinids (Siamese Flying Fox, Red-Tailed Black Shark, Siamese Algae Eater, etc.), Loaches (Yoyo, Polka-Dot, etc.), and some Catfish (Synodontis, Pictus). However, some fish I've had haven't been affected that much, and those fish include Bettas, Corydoras, Guppies, Mollies, Platies, and some others. Recently, I made the really difficult decision to rehome every single one of my fish after my tank suffered another oxygen crash and simultaneous ammonia spike that I couldn't bring down, even after a big water change and dumping an entire bottle of water conditioner and another of beneficial bacteria into the tank. However, I have kept my Axolotl, who lives in a different tank, and she's doing fantastic.

So sorry for your loss buddy

mmmm i think you need a big canister filter , because you actually filter is tooooooooo small for your type of aquarium and fish population , you need test your water parameters , use clay for your substrate , buy the cheaper , I use OIL DRI is 100 clay no need wash before use , just dumped in your aquarium with out fish , after 2 day put your fish in your aquarium

RIP fish. That's why I always keep an airstone in my aquarium.

I lost all my fish last month due to equipment failure, as well. It was heartbreaking. I cried.

Damn smh

hey man, i always run a second hang on back small little filter pump, nothing big just to churn up the surface of the water and add air, it also acts as a secondary buffer if shit like this happens, sorry for you loss bro, not your fault it is what it is.... edit i just finished your video, that pump is way too strong man.... for little fish like that your makin a crazy whirlpool, got any piping so you could split that output into a couple pipes?

Hey, are those chili red Oscar's 😊??

Yea gotta be careful with that. Sorry for your loss

Aw man that sucks I will make sure to look out for this with my setup

It happens in the fish hobby man

Sorry for your loss man this happened to me before

Doing a great job man! I just got a baby shovel nose the other day with my baby redtail catfish haha and I have it in a 10 gallon with sand and a few lava rocks with a pothos plant hanging in it and a bunch of hornwart floating.

Nice setup and fish

I appreciate you taking the time to make this content. Happy new year broo !!

🔥 content!!

Nice bass and peacock bass. I've had trouble getting wild caught baas to eat. Now I see why

Thanks for another great video. Ive been wondering how to customize my HOB Filter and youve just given me a great insight. Happy new year!

🔥

Cool build I'm going to incorporate this method in mybuild. your channel is so helpful thanks for the videos!

Fantastic idea. Thanks for this. Im gonna do this way too. Thanks

Nice video!

Nice Planted Tank you've given me so many ideas. Cool fish as well

🔥 video once again

Cool scape

Those catfish are really cool i want one lol

Wow nice fish brooo

Wow, thank you for the info

Did you cycle the pond

Wow thanks for the video!

Pretty catfish

Nice oscar fish
