20 Gallon Amazon Biotope Aquarium | Documentary

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

I need your opinion. Stick with the biotope or convert it to a planted aquarium down the road? Also, stick with the rummy-nose or swap them for a small school of corydoras?

[@mev4968]

I'm all for that planted aquarium ver of the tank. And I think you should get corydoras, only if, you go through with the planted tank idea. But rummy noses and corydoras might get along, so I don't see a need to replace one for another. That's just up to personal decisions based with good research tbh. I would support any decision you choose tho.

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Thanks for the input Mev 😁 The reason its either/or for me is more about bioload. I feel its already heavy and adding a school of corydoras would be pushing it. So if I stick w the blackwater biotope, you feel sticking w the rummy noses are a better choice?

[@mev4968]

@@SGBeardedAquarist Yep! I support that choice because you've taken care of rummy-nose tetras, and because you've mentioned how well suited the biotope is for this species. Can't wait to see future updates! Good luck!

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Thanks Mev 😁

[@raja.mustafa895]

Bio tope looks good, it's something unique many people dont have this kind of aquarium , so I think you should stick with this kind. More over , as far as the stocking is concerned I think you can keep both with adequate filtration

Bro the Rio Negro(river) is located in Brazil, what you put on the map is a province(río negro) of Argentina and has nothing to do with the other Rio Negro, it is not even a tropical zone. Very good documentary

You mean keep the fish and change it to planted?

SG Bearded Aquarist yeah... I have a 55 gallon heavily planted. Over 55 fish in there. I have pretty much everything including glass catfish, mollies, tetras, shrimp, frog etc., and it all just works

This is FRESH! You sound more professional here like nat geo narration. Anyway, I enjoy any spectrum you're currently in. Whether you are visiting fishstores in any part of the world or fish blogs or this. Versatility will take you places. Love this biotope clip.

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Thanks bobby! I'm really glad you enjoy versatility because I want to try my hands at different video styles and topics (sticking to aquariums of course). My next video will be a complete contrast to this video. It's also my goal to make a full documentary one day 😁

[@julienkerno2537]

Hi nice video and great set up ! I do have a pothos too in my aquarium, sitting here for about 1 year, and the roots are starting to make a really nice hiding place for my fishes, but i was wondering, do you think i can trim some of them to keep a nice visual effect ? Thanks !

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Trim some of the roots? Yeah you can. Just dont trim all of them off or you might kill the plant. And i totally agree their roots give such an awesome effect

Hello! I just met your channel! This image you used to describe the Rio Negro is wrong. On the map you can see Rio Negro in Argentina, a cold river in the region of Patagonia, without tannin and without black water! The Rio Negro that you show in the photographs are the amazonian, that is born in Colombia and will join the Rio Solimões in Manaus to turn the Amazon River. The Rio Negro in Argentina is approximately 3,600 km from the Rio Negro in northern Brazil! In addition, excellent content, hug from Brazil!

Hey Thiago, thanks for pointing that out! I didnt realize there were two rio negros. 😅

Outstanding looking tank. Been thinking about doing a black water tank. I have a water cow goby which are found in Ecuador and I want to convert his 55 into a black water. Came across your channel while doing my research. Very informative video. Thanks for sharing 💪🏼

[@Capataro]

What is the name of the plant on the right?

[@merra85]

Nice! Can you run through how you set it up, the equipments used, etc? Especially on how u achieve the black water effect and maintaining it. Thanks, man!

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Might do a video on that. Very quickly tho, slow method: place lots of drifteood and indian almond leaves into the tank. They'll take awhile to sink and they'll slowly release tannis. Alternatively, boil everything and put them in. They'll sink much faster and u can pour (some) of the water you used to boil into the aquarium. They'll instantly give u the blackwater visual effect (not necessarily water parameters).

[@fabianantoniomulis4919]

Excellent video, but there is a mistake with the map. It doesn´t belong to the brazilian Rio Negro river, but the argentinian one. Small flaw for an amazing video that is a reference even for us, south american aquarists. Greeting from Argentina.

Yes you are correct. A few other have pointed that as well. Thank you ;)

[@tropicalterrarium1742]

0:25 that is way too overcrowded of a tank there. That turtle could catch the fish with his claws. Just not a good tank there.

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Turtle catch fish with his claws? You dont know anything about turtles do you? What if the goal was for the turtle to have food? Perfect tank then.

[@Putaspellonyou]

If the Rio Negro doesn't actually flow into The Amazon River, then it is not a tributary.

[@mrnobody1550]

Did anyone saw the albino cichlid?
