I recently added two Honey Gourami, one red and one gold, to a heavily planted species only Ember Tetra tank. Only having the Embers in the tank was beautiful, but it lacked a little personality. Not only do the Honey Gouramis have great personalities, but they brought out more personality in the Embers. The Embers seem to really enjoy having them in there. Great video guys, always a pleasure to watch your content!

[@mrsprimetimeaquatics5497]

How fun! And I love the thought of having that similiar color scheme zooming through the tank! I may copy you on that some day!

[@madisonhanson7244]

How many tetras do you have in your tank and what size is it? I was just looking at getting some honey gouramis today but I’m new to the hobby and I’m afraid of overstocking!

[@michaelhokie]

@@madisonhanson7244 That would probably be a better question for Jason and Joanna to answer. I know that several of their stocking suggestion per tank size videos feature Honey Gourami or you could hit them up in one of their live streams. Personally, I did 1 Ember Tetra per gallon and one Honey Gourami per 10 gallons in this case because both species stay small and I do heavily planted tanks with fast growing plants that soak up excess nutrients. My tank could be considered overstocked by some, but I think as long as the fish are healthy and happy, you keep up with water changes, have live plants, and stock with fish slowly to let beneficial bacteria keep up...it is okay.

[@lemonlizard1]

I've been deciding whether I want a species only or community tank and realized it depends on what you're looking for. If you want a tank that focuses on beauty, and has a synchronisation, go for species only. If you want a tank that focuses more on personality and how the fish interact in an environment, go for community

[@lpdb1995]

last 25 seconds best part of video. such a relatable situation to be in "i know this word! i swear i can speak!"

[@wayneboyd4372]

I've owned so many types of aquarium fish over the years before taking a break to focus on (and do a proper job) raising kids. I'm glad that I have had those varied fish experiences as I have now returned to the hobby and focusing on species only tanks. For one, I know which fish behaviors I enjoy most based on my personal experience (versus watching a KZbin video - no shade). Secondly, it's a wonderful excuse to get more tanks - I'm grateful that I have the space and means to do so. A community tank is a better choice with limited space and fewer available funds. In the end, whichever you choose (or both), it's a great hobby :)

[@Pomegranits]

In my opinion community tanks are way more fun to watch, different fish interacting is so fun to watch

[@amazingaquaticsandexotics3030]

Community imo. Even if it's only 2 types of fish. More variety and colour and lots of diversity unless the fish need tanks for themselves like shelldwellers and other specialist fish. I tend to slightly overstock my tanks but I do lots of regular water changes and have good filtration

[@philcarlino6942]

Another great video. My 75 is a community and I am currently setting up a 20L that is for multis only. My first ever species only tank, and I'm so excited. The cycling process is taking longer than anticipated but I think I'll be able to order fish this week after a 3+ week long cycle. Take care.

[@dwsnono9104]

My favorite part about the species only tank (other than easier to breed) is if I buy all the same fish from one person I don't need to quarantine. Where if I buy either same species from two different places or two different species for 1 tank, i would have to quarantine. Only fish I add to my species only tank is a baby super red bristlenose pleco. But even those I keep an eye on because the will eat other fish eggs.

[@pelhamsaquatics]

Great conceptual video!!🙂👍🏻😂🤣it’s late here but it’s still Monday…happy Monday guys👍🏻

[@christopherhoffman2002]

I've got a video request... how do different types of substrates and hardscapes impact basic water parameters like PH, KH, & GH... so if my tap water not ideal for the fish I want, what natural elements can I add to the tank to help adjust? thanks as always for the great info!

[@irtehdar2446]

I prefer the "almost species" tank. Like 90-95% of the fish are of the same species but then theres those few centrepieces. the 100 tetras schools tighter because they live with a raindow shark and a cichlid who in turn stands out even brighter because they are the only ones not sporting the tank uniform.

[@ogisaac4205]

How big did that rainbow shark get my guy?

[@markvonwisco7369]

Agree 100% that it depends on what you're going for with a particular aquarium. Regarding bettas, I have both of my bettas in with other peaceful fish. I may anthropomorphising, but I think that the bettas are happier and more active being with other fish.

[@shesellsfish]

I have both. As ya'll said there's pros and cons to both, but honestly I don't think I could give up my community tanks if push came to shove. Just watching the various fish doing their fishy thing in a community tank is so cool. Then again a species only tank you do get to see a lot more natural behavior from that fish. So yeah, that's why I have both and probably always will. Have a great week ya'll. 👍❤👍

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Both is best! Haha

[@VictoriaLeeCreates]

I personally think a species specific tank is the most beautiful to me to date. That can obviously change with time as I grow. For now I'll try them all 🤟😎💛

[@marcruic3556]

Your cyprichromis tank looks amazing. I keep them with my Similis. But like the idea of a planted species only now

[@TenorCantusFirmus]

I practically always have kept planted single-species tanks with just a large school of Tetras (Neons, Cardinals, Congos) or Barbs (Six- or Five-banded, Cherry) and always found them stunning to watch. If you choose some colourful, active species it might be almost as varied as a community tank.

[@ravagedcore131]

Really interesting I definitely like the idea of a single species tank.

[@amazingaquaticsandexotics3030]

I will say a neon tetra only tank is pretty cool. Mix in some diamond and gold neon tetras and you have a bit of variety

[@mrsprimetimeaquatics5497]

That would be amazing! 😃

[@lionroaring7021]

I appreciate both. Community for me though. My try other variety one day. My sister did and it was beautiful.

[@jayharreld3542]

I actually have and like both. My 29G is a Community tank with several types of Tetras, Rainbows, and a BN Pleco. I also have a 65G African Cichlid tank that is just Saulosi along with a few Dwarf Petricola for fry control. I love the Saulosi because the single species gives me both blue and yellow in the tank, which are my 2 favorite colors. They are also a Dwarf Mbuna so my tank size works for them.

I also think that a theme works well. For example I intend to convert my 90 gallon to a predominantly catfish tank with 3 medium sized cichlids.

[@MattsAquatics]

I personally like both styles. Right now I have a Bolivian Ram and a bristlenose pleco. I am going to get some harlequin rasboras too, but species only tanks can look great too.

[@vampgaia]

I have both community tanks and species only tanks. My shell dwellers are in species only tanks. My humpback dragon puffer is in his own tank. It depends on the species for me and my goal for the fish.

[@t4ddg965]

I have a mix 125 - schooling fish - rummy nose, Brilliant Rasporas, danios, silver tip tetras, bronze Cory's, 5 male sail fin Mollys - very active vibrant tank. I wanted a species only Cardinal Tetra (and melini cords, so dual species), but the tetras stayed hidden. Added white cloud minnows for top, cardinals are mid/bottom, The minnows got the tetras to come out - 40 cardinals / 20 minnows in a 40b. I love it. Water temps with the minnows are not 100% compatible, found that out after - but it's working. Have another dual species: Harlequin raspora and X-ray tetra. They are very active - moved the cardinals away from the rasporas - they seemed a little too active in the 32 flex for the cardinals. I think a single species that isn't an "all over tank" can be hard, you can end up with some empty space, especially if its a smaller fish in a larger tank. Love your channel!!

[@HJ-ix8od]

Thank you so much love your videos … I’m setting up a lake tanganyka community tank any advice please thanks again

[@bwood4505]

Better to add groups of fish one group at a time so you don’t overload your filtration system with and ammonia spike

[@CricketsMa]

I only have a 10 gallon tank, so a single species tank seemed the most reasonable. I’m focused on some beautifully colored White Clouds, but have 4 tiny rainbow fish, a couple of Cory’s, and a couple of ottos. Not truly a single species setup, but it’s working well.

[@pattykake7195]

Go the white clouds….beautiful little fish and so underrated….👍🏽

[@ohitsyang]

Dont judge me but I have 100 ember tetras with Sterbai Corydoras and a bunch of different colored shrimps (my skittles box) in my 40 breeder. Sounds like much but they school phenomenally and the bioload isnt as crazy as you think it would be, especially with a bunch of live plants. I will be giving some embers to my LFS, just gotta get thru the one month quarantine tho.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

That’s actually not that bad in that size tank.

[@ohitsyang]

@@PrimeTimeAquatics its amazing to see all the fish schooling and begging for food and putting on a show when you walk up to it. My only regret was that it took so many years to finally do a one type of species tetra tank.

Always kept a South American themed community tank in the living room. Species only tanks in the fish room, usually for breeding purposes.

[@alisonnicholson]

My 55g is a community tank all is peaceful except the occasional tantrum from my blue gourami lol. For the most part the rest of the tank inhabitants get along just fine. My harlequins are active but pretty chilled but the mollies are so busy all of the time. The plecos I only see after lights out. The Danios are hyper. The frogs are just scouting for food. The gold gouramis just glide around gracefully. The mystery snails are all over the place. It's such a mish mash of activity. I keep bettas mostly males and my species only is my kribensis.

[@Roonlovesfish3874]

Thank you for discussing such a fascinating concept. 😊 Interestingly, here in India, almost all LFSs always tell customers to go for a community tank and never a species only one.

Tank size is also a factor. In a 20-gallon you could comfortably keep 10-15 small tetras with a Bristlenose. In a 55-gallon you might keep 2-3 deferent tetra species in schools of 10-15 each, with a school of Corydoras and a pair of Bristlenose.

[@BertShackleford]

A _species only_ tank has been a blessing and a curse. For starters, it is a blessing because my CPD's breed year-round. The curse is that they breed _year-round_ which leads to considerably more work on my end. These tanks were never meant to be "for profit" and yet they net me a healthy sum. FWIW, my CPD tank only has two other occupants and they are a pair of _Hara jerdoni_ plus a small community of Pink Ramshorn snails. The two "Kitty Sharks" as my wife calls them, have been doing a phenomenal job of keeping the snail population in-check. For a while I was concerned about feeding the _Hara jerdoni_ being that they are strictly nocturnal. Since I rarely sleep more than four hours at a time, it allows me to spot feed them some thawed brine shrimp in the middle of the night. Like I said, in the beginning I was deeply worried that they were not getting enough to eat. That was until I found some of their excrement piles with these teeny-tiny snail shells embedded in them. This proved to be a happy accident so to speak. Although, I do still strive to spot feed them whenever possible. It is, however, nice to know that they can and will sustain themselves if need be. Nonetheless, I was hoping that the _Hara jerdoni_ would start breeding for me too. But alas, that has yet to happen if it should happen at all. Stay classy my friends.

I have both types of tanks. Very often I find my community tanks are much more busy, fish swimming all over the place, where my species only tanks are more calming to watch (depending on which fish are in it.) I also have my species mixed tanks, like my Gourami tank, all Gourami but different varieties of Gourami. Some fish, like my Polar Blue Cichlids or my Red Jewel Cichlid show so much more color when in a species only tank. Great Video, as always!
