[@carolebraswell982]

I love the Gudgeons and Gobies theme! The scape turned out awesome!

[@pagewhite8177]

I love it, it looks like an underwater mountain or volcano. It’s perfect for the fish.

[@errk25]

I love lowboys. That island in the middle with the flow going around is awesome!

[@Whips_World]

How did I miss this? 😮 That looks great!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thanks 😀

[@chriscyr4982]

fantastic arrangement, very awesome inhabitants too. The words Gallery Showcases come to mind.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@aprilswan9259]

Has to be one of my favorite tanks I've ever seen! Shallow tanks are my favorite and I LOVE gudgeons and gobies 😍 Very cool!!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@BrodysBettas]

I like the Purple Spot Goby, they have similar colors to the Markurdi Longfin I have. Love the whole tank!

[@jimfiore4671]

Hey guys, as a flooring guy, I'd suggest a vinyl click. They're water friendly and you can get them with a good bit of padding on the underside which helps with echoes and it doesn't get nearly as chilly as conventional vinyl and or tile. Oh and I actually keep Empire Gudgeon and peacock Gudgeon in a heavily planted 40. Probably my favorite species. God bless

[@valeriee9532]

I love the new scape! Very nice 🐠 🌱🏔️ 🌱 🐟

[@donhabel1590]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful love the scape and the fish 👍👍

What a beautiful tank! Well done! ❤

[@joannemcgriff2016]

This tank looks absolutely awesome! I was so excited to hear Gudgeons & Gobies! Gudgeons are my absolute favorites!. I started keeping them about 4 yrs ago. I recently started keeping gobies about 6 mos ago. Great idea guys!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@CamsAquatics]

Well done on the scape, I love it. Thanks for sharing. Purple Spotted Gudgeon is one of my favorites also.

[@audriemartinez9259]

Omg! Little behind in watching your videos. This tank is AWESOME. I love all those fish. I've had peacock gudgeons. They're one of my favorite fish. Been considering gobies. This is totally my vibe. Love, love, love this. Great job!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@cherylmartin9994]

Awesome setup. And stunningly beautiful fish. Thanks for sharing

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@dh4767]

I love this video. It inspired me to start a goby and fudge on tank. I’m doing tons of research right now. Thank you both

[@elc2468]

I love it! Especially the Empires and the Peacocks. The scape turned out awesome.

[@maryfields3205]

I love what you guys are doing. Looks great!

[@cherellzandell6139]

Oh, I really like how that turned out!

[@dappledlight8073]

I love this scape! I am putting together a couple tanks for newts, and this is inspirational!

[@reginaphalanges7331]

It turned out amazing!! I love it!❤

[@jennifermartin506]

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@craigmcarthur3071]

Looks amazing, great work 👏

[@bonniegoodwin5653]

Another great tank! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

[@deborahcheney432]

One of the best scapes I've ever seen! I absolutely LOVE all the fish, the Gobies and Gudgeons are stunning!! You two knocked it out of the park!! Beautiful and informative video as usual. Keep up the great work.😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@MakoyUnggoy]

The rockwork looks stunning and an interesting choice of inhabitants just add to the look of this centrepiece set up!

[@catherinesaulnier5448]

Adore my Peacock G..nice tank

[@GosperTYVS]

Great work guys love the Gobi & Gudgeon theme !!! 🔥❤️‍🔥🔥😎👌🏼

[@CraigCampbell-lb9jv]

I love the foot print of that tank. ❤

[@jodypurrington1935]

Looks amazing!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@makiarn777]

I miss the fish room but the gallery is shaping up. Looks great. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

[@alekkoomanoff7281]

Awesome volcanic island scape! Want to get empire gudgeons to go with parkinsoni and Lake Aytingo' rainbows Only trouble with the empires is that you get maybe two or 3 fry. Have 6 Australian desert gobies on order.

[@evilone543]

I like what you’ve done to the place! The lowboy looks very cool. The fish are fantastic. I don’t think I’ve ever run across them before.

[@AquariumFun-sy2jt]

I love, love, love the new low boy! :)

[@kaisoisla]

Saw these today at a lfs here in Japan and you were immediately my go to as always when I need to research fish. You guys are awesome!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@cherylbelott]

Happy Sunday :) Love the tank and what beautiful fish! The gallery looks great!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@macc224]

lowboy looks awesome love the middle island, and fish look cool, great work👍

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@brianp6180]

Awesome tank! Love the look and fish. Looks bigger than a 50 gallon

[@tedtownsend8933]

Looks great!! 💯💪

[@peridot-20]

You've both done an excellent centre rescape & the centre is designed beautifully ❤ Your Gobie was most likely born with the disfigurement but as long as they can move & eat as well as the other's they'll last as long, I have 2 gobies myself & mine seem fine with salt added, such an excellent healer. All 3 tanks do you proud ⭐ 👍

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@ab4877]

silicon carbide is an inert naturally occurring black sand that is also manufactured for sand blasting. Available in multiple sizes from .01 to .09 inch. Available at sandblasting supplier locally and very economical

[@SnazzySki98]

It will scratch your glass and if you have any fish that interact with the substrate it will cause injury to them.

[@ab4877]

It won't scratch it more than any other gravel. The rumors about sensitive barbels are just that. Silicon carbide won't do any harm to corys or any other bottom dwellers. The edges are not as sharp as broken glass.

[@shaywhut]

I've been planning a 75 gallon scape for several months. I would trade all the aquarium crap I've bought so far for this exact scape, misfits and all!

[@englishtime5327]

I love the way their imperfections don't bother you. As for the echo, I hardly noticed it.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Good to hear!

[@zooatzachs6410]

For my 75 gallon, I used Black Diamond blasting sand (black) from tractor supply. $12.99 for 50lbs. It does need rinsed before using.

[@Scaperoot79]

Your gallery is really coming together so well! That hardscape looks amazing, and the low boy is a great centerpiece tank. Beautiful fish😍

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@noelbrucker135]

Wow!The gallery is looking so great! That scape might be one of my absolute favorites to date! I wouldn't mind sometime a tutorial on Joanna's techniques for painting that brick ;) Gorgeous!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you! Maybe we can do a quick tutorial of the brick - we still have a little left to do. 😀

[@audriemartinez9259]

Also, I love the AI lights. All my tanks have them. They make a difference. The shimmer they provide makes the tanks look great.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

I agree!

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

Definitely can use some sound proofing on the ceiling and floor. 🙂 Cute fish, too!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Just got some small area rugs in. Should help. 😀

[@CricketsMa]

Love, love, love this! The fish are so cool and show up very well. I have thought the plecos needed wood to munch on. No? I would kill for the laser corys! ❤️

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Bristlenose don’t. They like it, but don’t need it.

[@quartercajun71]

Gorgeous tank. I'd have to have a little turtle in there.

[@CraigCampbell-lb9jv]

I love the big gobies

[@kylie41]

All the gobies being unique adds to the tank I think! Theyre like the tough guys thatve lived through some things lol

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Yes! 😀

[@naegwut]

Whoa that dude is a unit

[@johnmaude5065]

Great to see some Australian fish 😊

[@HopeB555]

.... Now I need a new tank to devote to purple spot gobies... They're BREATHTAKING. DANG IT! I JUST got a new tank and now I need another one.

[@davidbartch8917]

The echo is not bad!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Good to hear 😀

[@GoBrickly]

I had to take apart my 75 gallon because we are moving. As I was taking out my Cory Cats I originally had 11 but lost 2. I sold them thinking I only had 3-4 but ended up finding 9. Those things love to hide!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Yes they do!

[@amyp.3791]

Looks great! My peacock gudgeons are mean. I’m down to 2 in their own tanks. Attacked each other and other fish (tail nipping).

[@streettrash4220]

Yall should get the black diamond blasting sand from tractor supply. It’s waaaaay cheaper than petco or petsmart prices and it’s exactly the same stuff. Comes in different sizes even.

[@pas100657]

Jason I see you’re using an OASE canister on the low boy. I replaced the return & uptake from my Biomaster with Sicce counterparts. I found the Oase parts did fit “snugly “. Otherwise I m very happy with the performance of the Biomaster Thermo 250.

[@Lord_of_Snels]

hey, Aussie gudgeon keeper here, these tankmates are not a great idea, the purple spotted gudgeons, even at their current size are big enough to eat those peacocks, when I breed purples, I feed the pairs feeder fire tail gudgeons of that size to get them spawning, they eat at night when the lights are out so the small fish will slowly just disappear and wont be noticeable at first, they are pretty voracious predatory fish, also very aggressive when they spawn and will knock the scales off tank mates. the Snake head gudgeon (Giuris margaritacea) (you refer to as a rainbow gudgeon) is probably only half grown, they easily get a foot long, it can also potentially eat the peacocks at current size but, unlike the purples, will grow much larger

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

I’ve had purples as far back as 30 years ago. What I have found interesting about them is they rarely went after fish the size of a peacock gudgeon - especially if the fish were in the same tank from the start.

[@lrichardson88383]

You guys should do a short on paradise fish (paradise gourami)!

[@punkrockpapa84]

I have 2 snakehead gudgeon, a gold bar gudgeon, and 2 purple gobys in my one of my 75s and they are my centerpiece. Absolutely love em! Highly recommend if anyone finds em. The gold bar is kind of a grump, otherwise the others are wet pets

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

That is awesome!

[@punkrockpapa84]

Love the vids and the podcast! I've been binging it the last month

[@msbranen6261]

??? Another beautiful arrangement and entertaining video! Question - do the bristlenose plecos need wood? I added an oddball piece of wood to a tank for the pleco because I thought he required wood. Appreciate you!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

They don't need it the way other plecos do, but they sure do like it!

[@lmathews61]

BEAUTIFUL scape…and GORGEOUS fish‼️‼️ Question…are the Gudgeons prone to jump, especially since you have them in a low aquarium?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Not really - they seem to do ok.

[@jeremymoore450]

Jason, Awesome tank setup. I use the black sand from PetSmart also for my tanks I love how it looks and how the fish look up against it. I so want a peacock grungeon now. Did you order the grungeon from flip aquatics? Appreciate the video can’t wait for more

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

I import them. I also have local breeders supply me with them as well.

[@iegan2]

I got 2 from petsmart a couple months ago they were like $7-8

[@passingwind2681]

Gudgeon, and Gobi and Coreys, oh my, dungeons, and Gobis and Corey‘s oh my gudgeon and Gobe and Coreys oh my……….. we’re off to see the wizard

[@NaeSTay]

I love it. Where do you get your stone from?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

That stuff came from a wholesaler a while ago.

[@michellejennings4259]

❤❤❤

[@kennjohnson4906]

Great job on the low boy. How often do you have to top off the water?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Once per week - it’s evaporating a LOT!

[@mikezizis3725]

Simply beautiful! Thank you! Do you have a scientific name for the largest rainbow gobies? I'm having trouble finding them on line... Thanks in advance!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Giuris Margaritacea

[@mikezizis3725]

thanx!@@PrimeTimeAquatics

[@kylepracz]

I miss my peacock gudegeon pair. RIP Swimothy and Finelope.

[@darrylmoore5847]

This is one seriously sexy tank.

[@rockyandmiles9889]

Oh wow! it looks “fintastic”!! 😉🤩 I’ve been wanting peacock gudgeons but they are $28 each at my LFS. They said one would be fine in my 10 or 20 gallon community tanks, is that true?? 🤔

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Yep - one would be fine!

[@Scaperoot79]

I forgot to mention that you can get a 50 lb bag of black diamond blasting sand for under $15. I have it in multiple tanks. Works great👌

[@edcctf]

With open top do you run into problems with jumpers?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Not with these guys.

[@Furai.]

👍

[@twoface9959]

Gudgeons and Gobies? GG.

[@ashwinikumar6413]

👍👍👍

[@randomman4938]

Wish I could find a lowboy tank in my area

[@mizukage796]

I love when these two do videos together. You get the expertise of both

[@Lizardlafemme]

I love those fish. Tank looks great! I still can't find anyone that can help me figure out how to stock an old 40gal tall. It's 30L×24T×12W. Actually I think its39.5 gal but I'm fully planting it out so probably won't stock it until spring. And suggestions for top and middle tank would be welcome. Thanks ❤️ you guys. Liz

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Most live bearers would use the entire tank?

[@Lizardlafemme]

@@PrimeTimeAquatics I was thinking may swordtails I've never done those. What would maybe be something that could go with. I'll do Corey's and probably a bristle nose pleco for the bottom dwellers. Panda cores maybe?

[@kristenivey9000]

Absolutely love this tank! What is the scientific name or snother name for what you were calling a "Rainbow Gudeon" because when i look that up all that is coming up is peacock gudeons and i want to do research on the larger ones you have so i can maybe purchase one for my 55 gallon tank. Thank you!

[@nathan-hm5uy]

Beautiful aquarium. However, would the purple spotted gudgeons eat the other fish? I think they got big mouths

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

They’re about full grown now and have been with those fish since the beginning. Haven’t had any issues with them.

[@jay-remedy-plz]

Rainbow Coelacanth !!!

[@Trog1986]

What about fan dance goby it be a stunner in there

[@slamboy66]

At 16:50 does the intake pick up sand 🤔🤔🤔❓

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Not yet 😀
