IWAGUMI Aquascape Plants are Melting!! 😱

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Comment which fish you would stock this aquarium with and which topic I should cover next: Filtration, Co2, Light, Automation, Water Additives?!

[@luqzmania7650]

Filtration

[@luqzmania7650]

Rainbow fish maybe?

[@nanoreaper5002]

Odessa Barbs

[@rodrigomanriquepollera1742]

Denisonii Barbs (red line torpedo sharks) , Congo Tetras maybe or some Diamond Tetras ? :)

[@nblshaker]

Bosemani rainbow

[@RyoWatanabee]

Love how the tank is coming along. Scissor tail rasbora or Congo tetra is my guess

[@emiliaroman8631]

What a delight to see you here

[@dargozaquatic]

keren layoutnya kaosnya juga cakep mang jurijs

[@muhammadhafizsafwanjamalud9303]

First, I love the diffuser inside my tank so I can see the water flow through the bubble mist of co2. Second, the rummy nose tetra is a good idea thou the red color will boom the view. 😉 great work btw 👍👍

[@akshayrajput2488]

Dennison Barbs are really great at schooling they fullfill all your requirements that u told. How ever you should know they are very fast fish and sometimes if they get scared they can jump out so using a lid is recommended. Alot of times when I pick something up something from under the aquarium when the aquarium was at low light. The fishes dash away and I always hear one or two hitting the top lid because they jumped out. Other than that you can watch them for hours since they school so well. It is mesmerizing. They are slightly on the bigger size and not as aggressive as other barbs. I am sure you wife will love them.

[@bubbles8521]

looking good, cant wait to see it fully carpeted.. I cant wait to get another tank and have another go at all this.. looking forward to the next update!

[@HuuChi93]

Nice video and beautiful tank. Can’t wait to see the update on this tank. :)

[@ChadGardenSinLA]

Wow, what a small world! I went high school in Hanau and Uni in Mannheim. Otocinclus are tinier, but school really well and are very efficient in taking down all that algae and decomposing plant matter. I have mine paired with different breeds of Hillstream loach for an efficient and quirky clean-up crew.

[@karlvanderschyff3154]

Great tank Jurijs. A deep dive on water conditioning would be highly appreciated. What about white cloud minnows

[@bavarian_aquascaper]

Sehr schönes Iwagumi! Ich stimme dir vollkommen zu, was den Diffusor angeht. Es ist sehr entspannend, dem Co2 im Becken zuzusehen :) Außerdem sind Probleme mit Strömung oder der Co2-Zufuhr sofort sichtbar und man kann zeitnah handeln. Ich könnte mir gut Regenbogenfische gut in diesem Becken vorstellen. Besser zum Iwagumi würden aber evtl Puntius denisonii passen, die sind gleichzeitig auch noch nützlich :)

[@ahmetkiyman6737]

Great work as always👍🏻👍🏻 As a next topic I prefer to see “pimp my filter” 😊😉

[@DeanR3]

Very good video really looking forward to the filter vid to see how yours is set up 😁 so 100% filtration first

[@5ervalkat192]

I second the idea of scissortail rasbora as a schooling fish. Alternatively, one of the larger danios might be nice. As for next topics, I’d love to hear your take on the ADA additives and fertilizer regimen. Great video!

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

Hey Jurijs.. glad to see you my friend! Great addition of the shrimp and snails to battle the algae!!Appreciate you sharing your experience with what you are going through with this Aquarium 🙏 Always excited to see your videos and listen to your experience!!Harlequin or Galaxy rasboras would be a beautiful addition!! I hope you've had a great week and a wonderful weekend!! Have a very blessed day!!❤️🌿🐟🌿👍🙏

Great video man! I like the new direction you’re heading

[@case831]

Phenacogrammus aurantiacus aka Blue Eyed Congo Tetra .... you will love it ...! Really striking!

[@darrenderousse4804]

Another beautiful tank Jurijs! Glad your back to making content! Hope you hit that 100k soon! I would like to see filtration and how to choose how much flow to choose with the fish you’re keeping! And maybe pearl danios or similar danios! Bosami rainbows look amazing but might be to big! Love their colors though! Can’t wait to see your next video! Thank you for helping me in my new found hobby aquascaping!

[@gbaquascaping63]

H araguaia is a slow-initial adaptation plant, the problem that you show is not so weird, then reborns in good condition 👍

[@colos7]

Rummy-nose tetra is always a good choice but if you are after more volume, a school of light reflecting dwarf neon rainbowfish would look really nice in this tank.

[@spardamustdie47]

Hey Jurijs, the scape looks amazing, cant wait to see the Glossostigma covers the whole aquarium. I would love to see you cover on water additives that you used for this aquarium and/or filteration, how you pimp your canister filter. As for the choice of fish, I recommend Espei Rasbora (Trigonostigma Espei) for their schooling behaviour as well as their colors are more vibrant than a typical Harlequin Rasbora (Trigonostigma Heteromorpha) that ranges from dark orange-ish to copper which really pops in this classic Iwagumi aquascape.

[@FlavioChriste]

Thank you. Your videos are great. Looking forward for a more complete video about the JBL Co2 controler. Never heard about it (I'm just a hobby enthusiast from Brazil) and it sounds like a real improvement in aquarium tech.

[@SlickNick3]

This aquarium is going to look amazing!! I can’t even guess the type of fish but I’m sure they’ll be amazing! As for the next video I’d like to hear more about co2! I plan on trying co2 in my next aquarium just trying to soak in as much knowledge as possible before I go for it!

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

right way to go 😉

[@jxlenny1059]

thats gonna be really nice in a few weeks

[@mv9758]

I would love to know more about the ADA ferts and additives... mostly how you use it Jurijs 😊

[@rara5212]

Great vid dude! Iriatherina werneri😝!!! Look out for the congo tetra variations - the yellow one and there is another stunning one!

[@JayKimJr]

I only stick to dry start when planting these foreground plants. I think cyano bacteria are sufficiently prevented by controlling the lighting time.

[@NORIaquaCh]

Great reference to snake oil :)

[@emadonn3989]

hi jurijs apreciate your all ideas !!!

[@jerrin416]

I was thinking of Rummy Nose tetras, they school really well, does well in current, and theres also enough space for them to swim in the upper and mid levels

[@bboycyphur]

Try brilliant rasboras! They’re larger than neon tetras and school nicely. Also, go for an inline reactor for this large tank. Great that you’re including the wife in your scaping decisions! I also appreciate the nod to the ADA style and the classic plant glosso. Please don’t do araguai at the rock base since it’s been done already by Glass Aqua. Maybe try dwarf hairgrass instead.

[@jamesrenschen1725]

I simply would love to see the ADA ferts discussed in detail. And (1st) Rummy Nose tetra is pure joy; there are so many great choices. My other considerations would be (2nd) Buenos Aires Tetra (hyphessobrycon anisitsi), and then others Blue tetra (Boehlkea fredcochui), and the Black line tetra (moenkhausia costae tetra) and Copei tetra (moenkhausia copei), and the Congo tetra's are great, but not sure they prefer Iwagumi style.

[@gracielajharap9764]

Colombian tetras. The colours are amazing!

[@Hawiiti]

The side by side comparison really sounds interesting! Diatoms are making my life hard aswell atm in my nano. 4 weeks after setup still getting them. Scape is looking good!

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

usually diatoms disappear 2 weeks after adding algae eaters, but sometimes they appear for a longer period

[@jamesrenschen1725]

@@JurijsJutjajevs Why do you not use a Twinstar Nano+ wouldn't that be helpful?

[@janima33]

Great video again, Jurijs! And I really like, if someone speak about faults, and possible imperfections. About bigger fish, german blue rams/golden blue rams are so lovely and great with neons, but as I watched your video, I ve got appistogrammas in mind(Cacatuoides or agassizii). They could look great with that rocks

[@JustDoinFlorida]

Red Beckford’s Pencilfish would look great! They’re a very bright red pencilfish and grow to be about 5 cm. I don’t know if you can find them in Germany but they are gorgeous when they school🙌

[@fishysnowman9082]

Great video. 👍. Looking forward to the new Videos. Like to see how to pack your Oase bioMaster ...... curious what you think about CO2 reactors. ? Also looking forward to see how & why you use the ADA additives. 👊🏻.

[@theoschut5942]

Great to see how it going now. I think a school of melanotaenia lacustris .rainbow vis .nice bleu Grey collorr 😉😁👍👌

[@nordicscaper]

What a tank😁 what about notropis chrosomus I think would be a cool fish with the red plants🌿

[@stevenguenther1088]

Tank is coming along nicely!!! I was thinking a smaller rainbow species would be fun, don’t see them too often in scapes. Then going over the additives from ADA, also not much covered by them by aquascapers.

[@amiththapa9819]

Beautiful scape. Denison Barb or Rummy Nose tetra would be good option 👍🏼

[@fishtales2597]

Hi Jurijs thank you for the video, i like to see my co2 diffuser in the aquarium, i can see what is happening and any problems i can rectify at once. i recommend Rummy nose Tetras or Five banded barbs which are a peaceful community shoaler or glowlight danios. Love the scape looking forward to seeing it grow in stay well from here in the UK.

[@DylanRenke]

Rummy nose tetras could be a good choice. Slightly larger than the neons and a wonderful schooling fish.

[@19andthe16]

I think H. araguia is suffering from ammonia toxicity. I had severe melting issues few months ago with my 120L and it looked exactly like that. Melting starts from roots and creeps up while shoot tip looks fine and sometimes even photosynthesizes...until eventually melts away. Almost all of TC plants died and few survivors coud not make roots and stunted in a place. It is indeed possible to kill plants with ammonia, especially when they are newly introduced to fresh soil enriched further with ferts. TCs are known to be more susceptible but pots also can be affected (This was less common on pots for me. My guess is the potted plants weren't as healthy to start with.) There are species differences and for me most stems weren't very resilient. Eriocaulon species seem to love it tho. I had to replace all melting plants and did 90% WC daily for a week or 2. After that things are going smoothly.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

TC plants are like baby plants whole potted plant are definitely more robust that’s for sure

[@ShivKumar-nh8gm]

I feel the glossos need more light as they are growing up towards the light due to the lack of sufficient lighting. You can pull the light a little down or change the light to the latest version like you mentioned.

[@woltergrant]

From your description I’m guessing one of the larger Rasboras and I really hope 🤞. I think a more common one would be more likely like Brilliant Rasbora (Rasbora einthoveni) or Graceful Rasbora (Trigonopoma gracile). But I hope a less common as I rarely see them: Red Dwarf Rasbora (Microrasbora rubescens) Clown Rasbora (Rasbora kalochroma) Red Line Rasbora (Trigonopoma pauciperforatum) Blue Line Rasbora (Rasbora sarawakensis) Black Line/Red-tailed Rasbora (Rasbora borapetensis) Hope it is one of these less common larger rasboras, I would love to have an aqua scape with each side by side to compare all the types of rasboras as the larger one are just not seen often enough!!!

[@fishaguitar89]

Love the new video style:)

[@iqtech1362]

Dwarf neon Rainbow will look great

[@sacktyyudhistira9973]

Nice shirt you have there Jurijs. You should make a tank with Rasio Style one day. Or make a collab with Herry Rasio. You guys are my favorite aquascaper

[@AndreasChurchillChurchillOut]

I recommend red nose/diamond red nose because their schooling very tight compared to rasbora galaxy, some varians of tetra(based on my experience). But please watch the temp, if too cold in long time they will get white spot

[@gioelaquatic3964]

I would put a huge amount of rummy nose tetras (Hemigrammus species) even if not that big. Also some beautiful rainbow would be nice (Melanotoenia species). Next episode about water additives and routine (such as usual parameters preferred) would be nice 👍🏻

[@yopieputra3783]

Try sundadanio maybe, and please cover water additives! How will they affect the growth of plants and can they help in fighting algae and cyanobacteria? :)

[@juanjocondemota6186]

Buen trabajo! Yo voto por aditivos para el siguiente vídeo pero con ganas de verlos todos, un saludo

[@chelmsford6774]

Danios as a fish school. Less lighting I think is what we need in the hobby. Great video will be waiting for the next one.

[@Wreggienald]

Jurijs! Love the video quality it's always aesthetic. Thank you for this type of content. To answer your first question, I personally don't know what your favorite fish is but! Congo tetras are currently my fave because of their fins, size, and rainbow reflection from lighting. For the Second, I'd like to know about the additives (Ex. Green gain plus, Green bacter plus, etc.) and when to use them. during the first week of frequent water changes? or The week after the first 7 seven days of frequent water changes. Mahalo (Thank you) from out here in Hawaii!

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Hey 👋 mate, appreciate your feedback. Yes the Congo tetra is stunning and is on my top list

[@rafaelfreitas9634]

[@mentplay5051]

Woow that's amazing tank. Don't worry about araguaia. I always admire your projects and what's more I've learnt a lot from ur videos!! I can surely reccomend you Nannostomus beckfordi. It's fast and amazing fish. Stay healthy and keep on scaping!!! Thank you for your job!!!

[@jodymarty3179]

From my experience the key to small low laying glossostigma is super high light. As much light as you can get without making algae issues. Once the light is to weak the glosso starts to get tall and large leaf. But not sure if this is always the case.

[@jolantakrystyna1220]

Hello Jurijis! What about Thayeria boehlkei? Did You concidered it? And about next topic: I would like to listen about CO2 injection-regular and inline. Thank You for Your film! Can't wait for the next🤗😉 Stay safe and healthy!!!

[@tougemaster]

Not necessarily a thin and long bodied fish but I think Melanotaenia Praecox would look great there, just keep in mind these are fragile fish that don't like temperature changes during water changes.

[@chloechauvel1900]

Thanks for the video, I like the new format 👍 I would add a nice school of Inlecypris on this tank ! I would really appreciate a video on filtration (are Oase filters as quiet as Eiheim pro 4+?) or fertilizers.

[@zoltanborsos9173]

I like the classic iwagumi style you have there. Looking forward to see it grown in a few weeks. About the glossostigma, i think the light intensity is too weak for her to grow more to the width than to the hight. You got 28 - 30 lumens per liter with that Twinstar. That is maybe ok for growing as such, but for carpeting i think 40 lum/l and more would by much better.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Don’t forget the tank is only 40cm tall. Benefit of shallow tanks is they require less intense light

[@zoltanborsos9173]

@@JurijsJutjajevs Good point, but on the other hand, there is maybe 20 - 25 cm between the water surface and the Twinstar. I have this from the Tropica website "A difficult plant demanding a lot of light. Grows upwards if light is poor." But yeah, maybe it is a new Glossostigma elatinoides "dennerlesis" species :) I am curious.

[@jqJackSkellington]

Rasio Family... love the t-shirt..hehehhe

[@pdengler23]

Hey, you have to keep your ro water in a seperat tank/bottle bevor put it into the tank. In the seperat tank you can put your minerals in and let the temerature grow. For filling up the fishtank you can use a pump with maybe 1500l/h and pump it into the fishtank if its ready. It is ten times better for shrimp and plants. Have a nice day

[@AllanCox7]

Jurijs, what would you do differently next time? Soil and CO2 caused acidic water, ideas on how you could prevent the drop in PH?

[@Marcel-vb2xx]

Maybe the Hemigrammus Bleheri would be a nice schooling fish for the tank. They always travel in a pack

[@anthonym8339]

I know you didn’t ask, but why not use a glass pipe surface skimmer intake instead of the separate power skimmer? Seems like a great way to clean up the gear inside the tank and still get the cleaning benefits at the same time. Just curious why you decided to go that route.

[@adammatthew1311]

Awesome inspirations. I guess my next tank gonna be 120 size :) I look forward to hear more reviews on ADA addictives and ferts. Perhaps bloodfin tetra or hasemania nana (silver tip tetra) will stand out with their red tails among the greens.

Doing a side-by-side test of Tropica's Hydrocotyle tripartita vs. ADA's Hydrocotyle tripartita "Mini" and even though it might be too early to say it seems like there is a difference just as the name suggests. The ADA version seems to have thinner stems, more delicate leaves and slower growth. Looking forward to more comparisons from you :) Btw, I am guessing for Penguin tetras in this scape, would look great.

I’d like to hear about the filtration next, I just switched from a sun sun filter to the biomaster thermo 600 myself and ambient sound has dropped outside the cabinet from 51db to 39db. I’d like to know how you improve your filter set up. I’m running mine with 4 middle chambers of sechem matrix, a bag of purigen ,the first chamber with sponge and last chamber with fine floss. I’ve just ordered a new waterbox clear 4820 aquarium so my discus will be moving from their Rio 240 in a few weeks. Emperor Tetras could be interesting although they’re not great at shoaling.
