New Unheated South American Aquarium: A SUCCESS or FAILURE??

[@lorenzospina3174]

Your aquarium are always so natural 👏

[@tropicalfishhub]

Thank you very much:)

[@Gilsfishroom]

I think this will look fantastic after a month. The water running down the driftwood is great.

[@tropicalfishhub]

Thanks Gil! It is indeed all about waiting and giving the scape more time:)

Great video. Glad your back with videos. Tank will be amazing once it settles in i think. Thanks for sharing

[@tropicalfishhub]

Thank you:) yes, I cannot wait until the tank settles and the moss establishes itself

What do you think are the best catfish/loach species for a backwater aquarium? I made a 10 gallon Blackwater riparian based on your aquariums and I was thinking of maybe either some Otocinclus, Corydoras or Kuhli Loaches.

[@tropicalfishhub]

I'm glad my videos inspired your setup! Most corydoras will do well in blackwater, but only some are typical blackwater species such as C.concolor and c.duplicareus/adolfoi. Otos will be a great addition. Kuhli loach will also thrive in blackwater

I don't want to spoil your next video, but is the moss drip wall still holding up? I am planning on making a smaller tank in a similar style to yours and I thought I should double check that it has held together before I try and make mine.

[@tropicalfishhub]

haha, yes it is thriving! I'll make an update about it in a few days:)

Interesting that you have some Cabomba as it was banned in England (Scotland?) some years ago. Some sort of nonsensical reason imposed by Europe. I don’t know if this regulation has been overturned since the UK left the EU?
