9 Months Update - (Saving Amano Larvae) NO filter, NO CO2, NO Ferts 5 Gallon Nano Tank
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
This is 9 months update. The fish are called Sparkling or Pygmy gourami.
This was a crazy month. I lost my favorite shrimp of all time.
Breeding Amano:
Half of the water is tap water b/c I wanted to grow algae. Specifically brown diatoms. Top off and water changes were done using ro/di water. 10% water change every 3 days to remove surface protein.
I used hydrometer and thermometer in one to just check the fluctuation in salinity and the temperature in real time due to evaporation b/c the tank is so small.
Hydrometer/thermometer amzn.to/2LLV0jn
But real salinity is check with:
Refractometer (automatic temperature compensation) amzn.to/2LX76Fy
I don’t know why the larvae only lived for 19 days. Maybe the temps were too high 26~28°C (79~82°F). Or maybe the salinity was off. ~33ppt. Or the water quality wasn’t good since the tank was so small and relied only on algae for water quality. The light was 14W daylight color single T5 fluorescent left on for 18 hours day for one week, then 13 hours thereafter. I lightly fed them yeast and spirulina every few days, but mostly they were eating the diatoms.
Finding out male or female (sparkling gouramis):
It’s pretty straight forward. At certain angle and the light behind them with preferably light background color, the belly will be transparent. The female has long “organ” and the male doesn’t. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Video at 8:16
The gouramis only fight like this when they pair up and start to breed. They also seem to go after the shrimp when they breed. Usually they leave the shrimp alone.

This is a bad episode for Amano's clan. A total whip out of all members. A dark episode with such intense build up and twist, started with hope when Amano gets a new tank and eventually ended up with the worst tragedy of the series. A turning point of the show. If the green shrimp and that whatever stick on the glass worm dead in next episode, I'm going to therapy ...

I always wanted the amano larvae to survive, and when they did, they just lost their parents and die alone. Those fish were ruuude. Thanks for the video, I was waiting since forever. It was amazing as always.
i love this series and i'm so emotionally invested, i started crying when i saw what happened to the Amano's,,, those fish are,,, not in my good books anymore.

The female shrimp...,she’s Been there from the start....sad that she’s no longer with us
Popped up in my recommendations and I haven't stopped. I can't stop watching. I'm INVESTED!
I have a trio of amanos in my tank and the female is carrying eggs. I looked into hatching and raising them and I learned it is nearly impossible to do in captivity! They're are so delicate and finicky; their wild counterparts have a much better shot of making it to adulthood. You made a great effort, even if it didn't work out. I admire your dedication and love of these little critters.
6:28 Just like their parents. **Sniffs**
Wonderful story. Beautifully executed.

It's crazy, how life like that? Develops their own personality, and starts to notice what's around them! But, it creates war! It's not just humans, it's just how life is!
I LOVE THIS! It’s like a soap opera! I was nodding sagely at the end when it said “ and peace was returned to both tanks”
It's 2:30 AM and I'm watching the 9th video of a series on a fish tank. And at 2:39 AM, I'll be watching the 10th. Love how well the editing is/ how informative all the videos are!
I recently started watching all of your videos. I must say, this one made me sad. I'm glad peace was restored by the end. Thank you for all of your footage. I am learning so much!
Poor things... RIP the amano shrimps and babies. Hope to see the new shrimps flourish in their respective tanks~ It is really enjoyable to watch you make stuff , you're a master maker! ☺️
One day I will know that I am loved when someone treats me with the same care and consideration as you treat your tanks. I can’t wait to be someone’s wet, green, full tank.
oh damn so many things happend
All I see is serious dedication.
WOW! It is crazy watching your video updates over the past few months.. I am literally transported to another world when I watch your videos. Who would have thought that such a microscopic eco-system in such a large world would behave the same way as ours. Interesting, chaotic, and cruel, yet beautiful all at the same time. Thanks for the videos.
Awesome... Started my tank after watching this tank :) so thank you very much for the inspirational aquarium video.

I watch your videos repeatedly, especially on this tank, to learn. Your videos of this tank are the reason I'm doing my tank this way. Gee, I sure do hope mine turns out half as good as yours.
It's amazing how you still keep your patience afterall this time, and your skill in maintaining it all is amazing
Please never stop uploading these, i enjoy this far too much. Easily a million times better than anything I’ve watched in the past 5 years lol
I don't normally comment on videos, but I just had to say that this video is one of the most well put together KZread video that I have ever watched. You have everything listed from the materials you used, where to buy them, and to certain transitions in the video. Well done, seriously. I just subscribed because of this video.
The amano arc is so sad
I didn’t know shrimp knew how to commit suicide
Don't thank us for watching , thank you for creating such a beautiful and peaceful video

Yes! A new update! Can you do an aquarium tour?
Oh no! The fish were fighting because they were all waiting to eat some baby shrimps but you fooled them! Only they didn’t know it was you and they started suspecting each other until war broke out! Then the mother, grieving the perceived loss of yet another bunch of youngsters, takes her own life...but if she’d only waited a little while longer the few that did survive would have returned to her! OMG this is so sad! It’s like a fish version of Game of Thrones!
Man, you really know what you are doing. Love your videos! Hope the next months will get better. So sorry for your loss
This is weirdly enthralling. Keep us updated!
This series of updates is and will continue to be a pleasure to fallow. Keep up the good work :)
This is my favorite reality show.
I was searching for a video suggesting a less expensive substrate for starting a planted aquarium, and when I found this thread I kept on watching all episodes one after another. Wonderful work, and thanks for all those info which I didn't know as a beginner. Good luck
Sorry about the loss of your Amano shrimp, she was really incredible to watch. Thank you so much for sharing your projects and all the work that you put in. It's a full time job.

I used a 5mm acrylic tube and "transparent plastic ball container". I only used a half of the ball container. It's pretty straight forward. I bend the acrylic as shown in the video. I drilled a hole in the middle of the ball container, and a few more holes so the air would escape when the bubbles accumulate in it. I super glued the ball container to the acrylic tube.

Poor Amano could never catch a break. Her babies always died. Then she was separated from the male for a day so she could give birth but it probably stressed her out. That's probably why she off'd herself. That or she caught the male Amano with the Dragonfly Nymph. 🤔
I could literally watch your tank videos all day
I'm so addicted to the videos, it's very relaxing to watch.
I thought Amano shrimp couldn't have their young survive outside of a brackish or oceanic swampy area? That they needed the salt water to thrive? Your's seem to be surviving and thriving without it?
