[@majorbruster5916]

This just came through my yt feed and I have to say how amazed I was by Adrian's tanks. The set-ups are not over complicated yet the tanks are attractive and functional, well-lit for the terrestrial plants as well as the aquatic plants. The breadth of biotopes and variety of species being kept and spawned is exceptional. Adrian's filtration system is simple but highly effective and makes me wish I was more innovative with my setup, definitely gonna pinch that one! As a techno freak I would have appreciated more on the water quality side and the substrates but that's OK. I was especially impressed with his Betta bowl and bromeliads. FYI the Mexican livebearer was Xenotoca eiseni, I kept these many years ago as part of a conservation program but after a few generations they faded away, so I wish him well with his endeavors. Thanks for posting such a superb tour of an outstanding fish room.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Wow, what a huge compliment!! I'm sure Adrian is going to really appreciate you taking the time to write this. It's truly astounding what he has created, and it's so great being able to share it with others so they can enjoy it too

Very cool landscaping and fish collection here. I had been keeping fishes for the past 50 years and my family created a few Discus species but they were acquired by a local major aquatic distribution and claimed they were their creation (Shame on them). Now, I managed to crossbreed the Blue and Golden Panchax but the colorization is disappointing. Thanks for sharing Kaity.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) That is really sad to hear that happened to you guys. It's not easy to create a new species and would take so many years of hard work. Hopefully you able to have some success down the line with the ones you are crossbreeding
