Buy more Corys....and just get the rest of the male congo tetras .... you need a much larger school of Congos for that tank and 6/9 is a perfect ratio.

Congo tetras are so beautiful! The shape of their fins when they get older is so unique! And their colors.....sweet perfection! 🥰

[@solaris025]

I can relate, I can't go into shops and browse. I have to phone in, order, walk in and sprint out. It's triple dangerous for me because I have decommissioned tanks that would take me 0 time to recommission, so the old "I don't have room" excuse doesn't work. My inner fish hoarder just reminds me "you have x spare tanks... remember."

This is SO what happens in this hobby! You get some fish, you decide you can use more, you get more, they grow, of course they need their own tank, and before long your tanks start breeding! Love it! I love how you just go back the same day. I have made multiple trips to the LFS on the same day myself. Looking forward to more videos.

Speaking on that massive display tank with the rays and puffer at your LFS, recently I was thinking that I would LOVE to see you setup a 6 foot tank one day.

[@theblindfishkeeper]

I absolutely love your enthusiasm! The way you describe your fish and your aquariums and the other joy when you discover a new fish is completely contagious. Keep up the great work! Your little Kili fish most likely survived on Mike roof Anna in the tank for that six months if you bring plants into a tank after a bit you will have all kinds of microphone growing and thriving in the tank enough for very small fish to thrive on almost without feeding🐠🦯

[@darioascione5994]

For the white betta's tank you could go for the elachys tetras. They are white with black tip on their tail so they will look great in there and they are as small as the ember tetras so the small tank should be fine

[@jobsanbiju3762]

Hey MD Could you do like a big(as in 3 or 4 feet) dirted tank It'd be cool like an experiment yk

[@toothpicdinosaur3777]

Some how I read "big(as" as big @$$

[@nicholasmacdonald4510]

For the African tank, you should get leopard ctenopoma. They're absolutely beautiful fish. They max out at 8 inches, but it's rare for them to get bigger than 6 inches and average length is 5 inches. They would be a stunning addition for the tank and they aren't big enough to eat the congo tetras or kribensis

Buster’s a mbu puffer and I agree, he needs to eat clams or some type of shellfish to file down his teeth. I hope MD tells Matt. Good luck with your new tank

[@apss5736]

Very true his beak needs a trim I'm just shocked that you called him for a pea puffer I mean he's a huge mbu puffer and pea puffers are miniscule. I'm sure it was an honest mistake and I don't mean to be rude or anything because that's not my intention

[@jakubvojtko5527]

About those bristle-nose plecos. As they grow up, they get quite big, angry and destructive. They eat plants (especially echinodorus plants), they burrow under decorations, they throw gravel everywhere and they are territorial among themselves and sometimes also among other fish. And they breed like crazy. To be clear. I do like mine, I have them from young and they are my "puppies". I just cannot stand their shenanigans. :D
