Lovely. 'FEWER' not less!

[@stephensinko9983]

I love how you’ve gone outside the norm and introduced the aquarium community to something new and fresh with the mudskippers. Everything you do is fantastic and your tanks are amazing!

[@TazawaTanks]

stephen Sinko Thank you!!!

[@henryrobison5507]

I wish I could afford a bigger tank like a 55 gallon! Those mudskippers are amazing

[@mk_cichlids]

Someone else mentioned already, but won't the beneficial bacteria be different in a brackish setup? I'd be worried about the salt killing the original freshwater bacteria in the canister. But then again I only have experience with full freshwater and full saltwater, so maybe the salt content is so low that nothing changes. Just a thought. Cool set up btw! Can't wait to see the difference between the two species!

[@TazawaTanks]

Mike Kirkpatrick The salinity to start off with is only 1.002, so basically fresh water with a touch of salt. This is fine for the bacteria. Over the weeks, I will increase it to around 1.007-1.008, which is still pretty low as far as salinity.

[@patrickburton3998]

​@@TazawaTanks Are the guppies, as well as other fresh water fish, ok with the water in the 1.007- 1.008 range?

[@sharronmiller451]

Love the tank!

[@Dovietail]

Exciting new development. I'm always a waterfall fan. It's always best when you can move water around and oxygenated. Can't wait to see the Guppies.

[@charondamotley9275]

It's nice waterfall adds a great look and feel good job tfs😃

Charonda Motley Thank you!

[@monsterfisheats5573]

Always been dreaming of having my own waterfall tank. Awesome work!

[@martinkruse7675]

You completely amaze me! Well done! I love what you have done with that! You are a true inspiration! I love your videos! Keep up the amazing work and thank you!

Nice video. Can’t wait to see the tank with the Indian mudskippers. Nicely set up!

Steven Perez Thank you!

[@madfishdiva]

I love what you are doing with these habitats. Definitely bringing something different to the hobby. Can’t wait to see the new Indian mudskippers!

Thank you! Check back on Wednesday!

Love your new Skipper setup...great job with the diy waterfall filtration, adds more visional texture to the setup

[@horrorgamer6687]

very cool.....nice to see someone set them up right that promoting skips right now.

That looks beautiful! Great job! Can't wait to see the little guys all set up in their new home!

[@shesellsfish]

I like the 40g better, the waterfall feature is awesome, but that's not the only reason. I think a 40g is more manageable and do- able for folks who want to try something like this, but don't have the resources or room to have a dedicated fish room. Good job with the waterfall feature. 👍💕👍

[@TazawaTanks]

ShelbyRae Lane Thanks! The 40g tank is definitely more manageable for most people. It may be a little small for the African mudskippers though.

[@catfishcave379]

The only thing better than mudskippers is... more mudskippers!

[@swatch12345]

I just met Carlos and Diane at the SAS mega auction last month. They are awesome people! You should try out some of those pipefish he's breeding. Super cool and great video!

Thanks Melissa! Same to you!

Very nice, I'm gonna have to step up my game...

They're so cool! I didn't know much about them before your videos (thank you on the info) , but they definitely have awesome personalities, congrats on more mudskippers! Can't wait to see them in their new tank🙂👍🏻

Would I need a special kind of filter and pump for brackish

[@jenniferbunker2757]

For 3 African mudskipers what size tank should i have ? Also because there isn't alot of what what size filter do they need ? Do they like air stones ? Can i use a filter pump?

[@dylandupuis2922]

So i have 2 convict cichlids in a 30 gallon tank what other type of fish can i pair them with? I want to put some bottom feeders and some mid and top swimming fish.

[@biggiefrye45]

You're making me want to find some mud skippers lol

[@TazawaTanks]

Ian Frye They are so fun!

[@aquascaping1013]

Yesssss!

[@ThePondLife]

Hey mate. I am planning an ourdoor brackish pond. Its designed to work. Anyway i am wanting Archer fish and crabs. What one would be good to get out of the 2 mudskippers?

[@TazawaTanks]

The Pond Life well, the Africans would be larger and better able to fend for themselves. I’d be worried about them in an outdoor pond though. They could easily escape, or get eaten by predators (even neighborhood cats).

[@theseelyefamily6189]

What type of water should I use for my new fish tank with gold fish?

[@nabokovfan87]

Do you think you'll have an issue with the beneficial bacteria and using that filter on a tank that was fresh and is now brackish? If you didn't want to do brackish, is there a Gobi or mudskipper that is fresh only that you would choose?

[@TazawaTanks]

nabokovfan87 The salinity is very low, and I’m ramping it up from 1.002 to 1.008 over time.

[@nabokovfan87]

@@TazawaTanks very cool. I actually was emailing caribsea and asking if I had to dump substrate if I converted a tank from fresh to salt or vice versa. It's a really intriguing subject. It is so difficult to get accurate info on salt that is safe or isn't for freshwater. Granted, the bacteria in each scenario is very different, but the question is will it work, do you need to actually deep clean a substrate, dry it, or let the tank convert naturally. After hearing Cory talk about salt, about how mollys are treating for disease and switch from fresh to salt, it makes me wonder about how the tank will handle it. If I had a tank for say, 2 months, is it converted? Definitely is something I am going to look into. Especially if reef sand is $40 for a 10lb bag in some cases. That is where my earlier question came from. Caribsea advised me to trash it. Just FYI

how u get ur indian mudskippers

[@joshiepoo5399]

Where did u buy the indian mudskippers

[@TazawaTanks]

My friend got them from a wholesaler

[@dennisruedel]

Great job Zenzo! I was just curious if the bacteria colony you have in the freshwater system will continue to survive in a brackish system when you move that filter?

[@TazawaTanks]

Denny's Aquatics Thanks! As far as the bacteria, I only start out with very low salinity (like 1.002) and increase it over time.

[@aussiefishingyt7334]

Nice vid

[@irshaadjaffer7065]

I saw mudskipper at pet shop

[@joshgibbons9837]

IFG s tank needs some work in my opinion, he needs to change the wood, everything else is dope, but the wood he has isn working , you should give him some pointers, maybe he will listen to you. He thinks IAM attaching him when only tryn to help

[@graffic13]

Why not fish native to India?

[@cheesechicken1548]

Get Australian mudskippers or I’m unsubscribing

[@TazawaTanks]

Send me some and I’ll make a tank for them! 😜
