[@JustinsFishRoom]

😊 thank you so much!

[@drixxmarlo5398]

Nice aquascape man! Really looks like a natural habitat. Sure the fishes will love it! Cheers!

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thanks so much! I have been spending so much time in front of the aquarium lately:)

[@craighalstead680]

Rummy nose tetras would be a fantastic addition to the tank! The red nose would really pop with the red of the discus

[@brianbuczynski3555]

Beautiful and natural looking. The fish look so happy :)

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thanks so much! The discus ended up spawning on the branches so I am glad they are liking the setup.

[@darrylmoore5847]

I love the scape. It is so natural looking.

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thanks Darryl! Just keeping is basic but the fish do like it which is all that counts:)

[@emmanuelV37]

Love the natural look of this tank especially the mangrove section!! Absolutely amazing and I'll definitely try that mangrove section look in my tank!

[@JustinsFishRoom]

That is so awesome to hear! Send me a picture of the setup if you get a chance:)

Fantastic ! Cheap and simple? Maybe for someone.

Fair enough:)

Hello from Chicago 💙💛💚 love what you got going on 🤟😎

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Hey, thanks Victoria!! Appreciate the positivity!!

[@quki3]

Wow! Beautiful!! Are you using real mangrove branches? Do you buy or find them? Those rams are adorable as well! ❤

[@mrplonker5406]

Rummy noses always do really well with discus

[@JustinsFishRoom]

I agree!! I love the rummy nose:)

[@michelleplume4778]

Some neon rainbows or Killifish would look great 👍 love from England

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Great suggestions! Thank you!!

[@tcap7386]

so cool, I love it

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thank you so much:)

[@carlam.9529]

Very nice scape !! Good luck with your discus and rams.

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Much appreciated! They are doing well and discus have spawned on the branches:)

[@andrekiesswetter2518]

Nice boet! Glad to see the advice helped in the overall scape. It's just amazing to see the discus and rams so happy in their new environment. Did you say the discus started spawning on the branches? 😲 So cool!

[@saltygreek3870]

Howzit China! Ex S.A boy here living in the states !how y'all keeping there?

[@andrekiesswetter2518]

Howzit George! All good thanks! Good to see another Saffir here. I guess we should all keep in touch and look after one another, especially our rams 😉

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Yes! Thank you so much:) Yes, they spawned the following day on the branches.

[@saltygreek3870]

@@andrekiesswetter2518 What part of S.A you from Andre,?

[@albiecameron5301]

i think harlequin rasboras because i have 6 and they are so bold and outgoing compared to the tetras i have with them. So i think they would be perfect and they live in similar areas in the wild. Also i love how they smash micro pellet or crushed flake of the surface. Thanks for another great vid

[@JustinsFishRoom]

That's an awesome suggestion and I reckon I will be going for the harlequins:)

[@albiecameron5301]

@@JustinsFishRoom yer i love mine and there colour is amazing if you feed them some high quality stuff and there not to young

[@o_oo_o1812]

The discus munching away like water cattle xD

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Hahaha yeah they do

[@scifly21]

Remora are the sucker fish you are looking for. Fun fact, Otos were numerically the largest tropical fish export from Brazil in 2017.

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thanks!! That’s a very cool fact! Thank you for sharing 🙂

[@GeoffYates]

Would you be gravel vacuuming this setup on water changes? I’m curious…

[@bobby_au]

What type of wood is all of that? Can I just grab it from the scrub? Where is aus are you from

[@JustinsFishRoom]

I would suggest getting it from a park and not a conservation area. I am from south east Queensland 👍

[@janellechew6193]

Hi Justin what do you do to prepare your tree limbs to be safe for your tank?

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Hi there Janelle! Great question. I pressure hose them very thoroughly and scrub them in a tub with a type of environmentally friendly dog shampoo that is eucalyptus based. I then wash them with tap water 🙂

[@saltygreek3870]

Justin ! I have dark knight that have laid eggs, hatched and are now swimming for about 3 days, I have the parents in the aquarium taking care of the fry, noticing a small a few dead fry floating around the aquarium, I've being feeding the fry (powder food) mixed in Lil water with micro worms and a Lil bbs, is it normal to see a few fry dead ? and when should I be worried ?

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Hi there mate! Yes, completely normal to have a drop off rate of ~10%

[@gratefuldaysahat6552]

Couldnt you add a pair of an apistograma type that you like? Seems there is enough space.. not 100 percent sure though... love apistos a lot too myself... expecting to get them next month

[@JustinsFishRoom]

That would be cool but I don't know how the Blue/black pair would go with them. I will have to investigate further about them:)

[@schirmoau]

100 green neons 👍

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Hahaha I think I would need to clean a few more toilets to make enough money for that:)

[@VictoriaLeeCreates]

Cherry barbs would compliment them. But I'm just saying that because I got a thing for cherry barbs

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Hahaha that is also a great suggestion! I used to breed cherry bards quite a bit - loved seeing their little tiny whiskers:)

[@skyshamen153]

Add the harleyquinn rasboras they are naturally in the discus and rams habitat

[@andrekiesswetter2518]

Rasbora species are from South East Asia. Discus and Rams from South America. Harlequin rasbora are a lovely fish though 😉

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thank you for the suggestion! Yes, I agree they would look stunning with the discus and rams:)

[@VictoriaLeeCreates]

You really make me want to get these beautiful fish. Definitely on my bucket 🪣 list 💚💚💚

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Please do! Join the Ram Fam!!!:)

[@saltygreek3870]

Any tips on my first batch of eggs with my Dark knights? Don't have the extra tank to remove parent, being told by the breeder I bought the pair from they're good parents and I actually want to see them raise the fry.

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Under your circumstances I would definitely let the parents raise the fry but make sure you can keep enough plant cover for the fry to forage off. Also you will want to keep an eye on the pair as they may eat the fry if they decide they want to breed again:)

Get a microphone please. Your volume is all over the place depending on how close you are to the camera. Great content though! Keep the videos coming! :D

I will have to save up for one soon! Thank you for the feedback:)

[@Camille3791]

what about the Royal tetra? Or Emperor tetra?

[@JustinsFishRoom]

They could be pretty cool in the setup. I will look into them for sure:)

[@RyanStonedonCanadianGaming]

Looks like a crypt crispulata

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thank you so much for your help on that:) It's always good to know exactly what plants you have.
