I'll say it again: the Guppies are waaay too cute. Pseudomugil and Laser Corydoras are very shiney! That's why I love dark backgrounds; it makes fish look good, and although I love underwater plantgardens, fish will always come first. Good luck with breeding them!

Even if you have a bare bottom aquarium just the fact you have black backtrack makes it look so much better.

That, and low light (I'm still waiting for Chihiros WRGB for the Rio 125, btw...). I'm taking my sweet time with building the UNS 60U. The original plan was too much of a mirror copy of the Rio 125. I'll be looking for additional rocks and roots.

Take your time. It will be worth it. As an aside: the small HOB-filters you use are Aquael Versamax Mini's, right? The sponges you put on the intake, did you make them yourself or did you order them from somewhere? I ordered 2 filters for the 30l Cube and the 45U (for when I rescape it) and I'm thinking Oase Biomaster pre-filter sponges could work.

Love psuedomugals. Have a dozen blue eyed red neon rainbows. They are so entertaining and beautiful. Good luck with the fork tails❤
@IMaqua7 ай бұрын
I started getting fry from both forktails and neon red blue eyes. It takes forever for the eggs to hatch and for the fry to grow to sellable size. Thanks for watching.
@IndoorEcosystem7 ай бұрын
I wasn't expecting the forktails to be so different to other rainbows. With so few eggs and a long hatch time.
@IMaqua7 ай бұрын
Actually I am getting more forktail eggs than red neon blue eyes. I would say the hatching time is around 20 days aka forever. Usually one female will drop one to two eggs a day. Sometimes the eggs will not be fertilized and will catch fungus. Fry is growing very slowly. Because of all the reasons above this fish is usually pricey.

@@IMaqua That's really interesting. Shame about the green rasboras but it makes sense to do it.
@Scaperoot797 ай бұрын
Beautiful fish! In your grow out tank, what are the epiphytes clinging to? Will they root in the gravel, or will they eventually need wood or stone? The idea of an Anubias or Buce carpet is very intriguing.
@IMaqua7 ай бұрын
In the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIDCioinib6ciposi=gRB_4Z-Dh9LLqZ34 I explained how I made that aquarium. Anubias and Bucephalandra will spread their roots and rhizome into the substrate and apart from pulling nutrients from the water column they will pull the nutrients from the soil as well.

Hello Ivan, what dry food do you use for your fish?
@IMaqua7 ай бұрын
Mostly I am mixing brands of food like Hikari, Sera, Fluval, NLS, etc. My favourites are Sera ImmunPro Mini Nature, Fluval Bug Bites, Dr. Bassleer Biofish Food garlic and New Life Spectrum (fry food). Cheers
