Thanks. I will think about doing it in the future because so far I have not been doing that kind of videos. So there is a chance I will make it.

Does the filter floss between rocks have to be replaced occasionally? Also wondering if I should leave those places empty for hillstream loach babies to hide in. Really love your idea and want to do something similar. Fantastic!
@IMaqua2 жыл бұрын
There is no need to replace filter floss. I used it also in my other builds and never replaced it. It just servers as a barrier for the substrate not to mix with sand. If you wanna leave them empty go ahead. This aquarium was never imagined as a strict "biotope". If you wanna have Hillstream babies I would definitely go with only rocks and gravel, long light period of at least 12 hours and a lot of algae.
@MN72632 жыл бұрын
@@IMaqua long light period to boost algae growth? Thanks for the reply!

Yes. The longer the better. Breeding tanks for Hillstream loaches have long light period. That way they get a lot of algae that are natural habitat for aufwuchs.
