Adding $7500 worth of fish into a Sloped River Tank!

I love that they work with fish and are called Marina and Finn xD

[@Kaityscichlids]

Hahaha yes 😂 It's definitely meant to be

[@corrugatedmetal6598]

this looks like such a great store! definitely excited to see more videos with finn and marina

That's awesome to hear! Yes, it's a really great store that they've got 😊

[@michaelhagan9678]

Wow what a great update video. The river tank has really grown in. I hope they have luck in breeding the Blue phantoms. Can't wait for the next episodes. Thanks again.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you 😊 Yes it's doing really nicely! It's so rewarding seeing it grow in

[@Hydrosized]

I hope you become super famous one day. Your passion is infectious. Thanks

[@Evil_Genius_888]

It was cool to see the river tank maturing.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Yes it's amazing! It's so satisfying seeing the progress

[@australianbiotopes4563]

Great video Kaity, the stream tank is looking good and starting to grow in well, Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you Jason! Yes it's growing in really nicely 😊

[@80s_monsterkid28]

Another great video, Kaity! it's so crazy how big your channel is growing. I remember when I first subscribed, you were at 800. I'm so happy for you!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much!! Yes it's been crazy the growth 😱 Thank you so much for all of your support for so long 😊

[@davidhart4789]

Can’t believe how expensive those fish are. I would think there would be tons of people breading them. Loved the video, as always they are really interesting and informative.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you 😊

[@johanw1980]

Over here they cost around 50 euro's. It's insane how expensive they are down under.

As always great content from you. The river tank is simply amazing...

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much! Yes it is amazing 🤩

[@theprime6489]

Its crazy how expensive this hobby has become since covid. I used to have 6 tanks, 320 gallons and now i cant even get into it again. A 120 gallon in the US costs $500 now and i cant imagine how much the rest would cost me. Maybe in another lifetime.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Here in Australia we get a lot of people selling tanks secondhand on Gumtree and you can get some great deals. The brand new tanks are super pricey here though too

[@lacabanadesangre6179]

Here in Spain has got worse. It never was a cheap hobby but now everything is so expensive. Even a normal goldfish now costs like 5-10 € (5-10 $) when they used to cost cents. I talked with a shop owner and she told me that is because much commercial connections with Asia or other European countries have disappeared. It’s sad.

[@onlywei]

What did a 120 gallon in the US cost pre-COVID?

[@eemiharma]

Here in finland prices are about same than pre-covid but 120gal here still cost like 700-1000$ 😅

[@andreashessler838]

Plenty of well priced second hand tanks available (in the UK anyway). They do start to get a bit more expensive when you're going over 6', but they are out there. I would only ever buy a new tank if it was something specific that I really wanted. They depreciate like nothing else.

[@tommybunk2292]

That river tank is looking awesome !!! You're right about the Blue Phantom's being cheaper in other countries, I saw some online here in the USA for $40 - 3" to 4". It's the first time I've every seen them, what a beautiful Pleco !!! 🥰

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you Tommy!! Yes they are absolutely stunning fish. A pity they are so expensive here in Aus 😂

[@auroraborealis6009]

I just watched some videos from Florida where these young guys were trapping Oscars, chiclids, and every variety of catfish you can think of out of a lot of unlikely places. Once they're out, they thrive in FL.

Would be cool to have crabs or other sorts of amphibious creatures that could roam onto the above water sections of the tank.

[@mr.robinson7083]

Is it possible to keep some frogs 🐸🐸🐸 as well and how to prevent them from jumping out ?

[@Kaityscichlids]

I don't think you could keep them contained in there unless it was enclosed. They might hang around it but they would probably end up roaming around the shop 😂

Hi i dont know if you will answer me… but i got a Green phantom pleco , do you know how much its worth and how rare it is?😀

[@Kaityscichlids]

I'm not too sure, sorry!! It'll depend how common they are in your area I think 😊

[@Neuri]

I just got a 250 litre curved front in the UK for FREE from a gumtree “please collect”. It’s now a slate Tanganyikan beauty’s home ( multis n some Julie’s ) all for the price of the fish, an Amazon led light and a 2 filters smashing the surface. Get looking dude!

Is it safe to say the L046 zebra plecos are 10k in auisie land?! Lol but love this tank! Ty for sharing!

Hahaha, you're not far off, those are also over $1000 per pleco :'(

Tip for filming. Pick up a polarizer filter for your vlog setup. It’ll help with the glare on surfaces like aquarium glass and water

If you are also in Australia you would know that plumetails are very hard to find here. I also have some, I love mine

I know the feeling! If it's what you have your heart set on you will get there. I got all my tanks super cheap from Gumtree for a long time. The moment I started full time work I saved ALL my money to get my Waterbox tank instead of saving it for a house 😂

Are these Blue Phantom Pleco L128? These are £44.95 in my local store. I remember that you've showed Pea Puffers the other day which are $150-200 in Australia and only about $5 in the UK. What makes them so expensive? Are they illegal to import? I know that these plecos are super hard to breed in aquariums, but pea puffers just need food and water to make babies.

[@Kaityscichlids]

That's the ones! They're illegal to import here and there's not a lot of supply here so it drives the price up. The pea puffers have come down in price significantly since they started getting bred here, because I think they're easier to breed like you mentioned. But the plecos will probably stay at a higher price for longer

[@brandonadams7837]

@@Kaityscichlidswhy would a random pleco be illegal to import but legal to house and breed?

[@Kaityscichlids]

@@brandonadams7837 I honestly have no idea, we have the same rules now for a lot of pets in Australia, you can breed/sell them but can't import them

those plecos are now considered invasive species where i'm at. it's so numerous that it has displaced indigenous aquatic life.

Common plecos can get like 2 ft. Many other species stay smaller.

To grow to the size I've seen for green/blue phantoms it would take a decade and more. I've seen wild caught almost a foot long.

I have 2 guppies with curved spines, one of them has a tail that looks heavy (it’s tail is going downward but it’s not that down) and the other one has a curve on its back and a small S shape curve in its tail (the meat makes its body look straight but the bone inside is curved). Do you know if it’s scoliosis or tuberculosis? It’s male and female, they both got it in adulthood and the male got beaten up before it’s spine got curved (they don’t show any symptoms but the male had scale loss due to getting beaten up but it’s healed then got a curved spine) pls if you know can you tell me how common tuberculosis is and how to tell if it’s scoliosis or tuberculosis
