It's a cool way to experiment and your time feels happy good to watch and it looks like a good idea. To fix the Equariem.

The hole in the reptile caves are for plastic loop tags with the logo, company name, barcode, and the like. But it also helps when submerged in water to help the trapped air have a place to escape as well as allows for water flow through the cave. Though the last two are more of happy little accidents than for true functionality. A tip for doing silicone on glass jars and the like. Get a plastic coffee cup/dixi or the like. Add some rubbing alcohol to it then squeeze a bunch of silicone into the rubbing alcohol and mix like crazy till completely till i has the consistency of thick glue. Then you can paint it on with a cheap plastic brush. I would do a few layers if you want a total blackout. You could do a layer of silicone then add cheap sand then add a second layer and add the black sand. Just remember you will have to wait a few extra days to make sure the rubbing alcohol has totally defused out of the silicone before adding it to your tank.

Hi Mark, while I'm not sure of the answer to the hole, here's my experience. I used a Crystal Head vodka bottle (skull shaped) inside an aquarium, my intent was to part fill with substrate and then some small plants to grow inside. I had about 5 bacterial blooms and figured this may be water circulation. Drilled a hole in the back and never had another bacterial bloom. It did kind of look cool, though I knew it wasn't healthy. The cloudy water would slowly drift out the top of the bottle like a light fog and the misty water inside the skull really made it stand out.

Looks great, Mark, thank you for sharing !

Thank You Dave. I am definitely using that idea.

If I had to guess, I'd say the hole in the cave is for the retail stores to hang it by on a hook or to put a product/price tag on so there's no stickers on the cave

As far as I know, the holes on the caves are for air to exit so it doesn’t float. Also I’m totally stealing that brilliant cave hide and using zip tie suction cups so it’s easily removable. I can’t wait to get shrimp now. I used to think they were too fragile but this channel and a few others have really made it seem more manageable. Thank you!

Oh my gosh. The yellow-green cull introduced duckweed back in your recently cleaned floor tub. Like your new tank setup.

Would of thought the little hole in some of the caves is for multiple uses: airline for an airstone, retailer sell tags on string, and for more flow through them to avoid stagnant water.

Hey man, I've held lots of breeding ancistrus over the years and 22 is generally ok but for breeding a bit low. I usually kept it at around 24-25 and they gave a clutch of 15 fry every 2-3 months. The trick to get them to mate is actually to simulate the rain season. I did this by doing a fairly large water change every 5-7 days when I tried to get them to spawn, having the new water being a bit (3-4 degrees C) colder than the tank and using a piece of plexiglass with holes drilled in made the "rain drops". I also lowered the lights a bit during that time to simulate cloud cover. It seems the water change only already triggered the spawning the first few times, but after reading up I added the other stuff. Not sure if its all effective but it's good fun in any case. Definitely keep oxygen levels high, as I've found that the eggs have a better chance of survival if there is more oxygen in the water. You will see the father fanning the eggs as well, and I understand that that behavior is precisely to get that oxygen rich water across the eggs. Also, higher temperatures speeds up the lifecycle of the shrimp. That means they die sooner, but they also lay eggs more often and mature quicker. If you want to run through more generations a bit quicker and cull a lot to achieve desired breeding stock results that might factor in to your standard temperature. Love your fish room and can't wait to see what results you get from that breeding tank with two of my favorite animals, the ancistrus and the blue dreams!

Also, I have found the bacteria in a bottle to be quite variable in quality and freshness.

The entire substrate is acting as additional biological filter media, adding a massive boost in ammonia processing capability. You can get an undergravel filter to enhance the effect even more. 👍

I like that it's a bare bottom tank. With the plants it looks quite nice. I had a pair in a 10 gallon tank, and they bred very prolifically for me. I had a terra cotta pot, upside down, with a flat rock on top, and it was covered in java moss. Also had a nice piece of Mopani wood in for them as well, with java fern on it. One bristle nose was albino and the other was dark like yours. The babies were a mix. Some were albino, like mom, and some were like the black dad. I love the bristle noses. They are so cute, I think. Anyhow, I hope they do go into the cave on the side of the tank. Will be fun to be able to watch their breeding progress in there. Thanks and am looking forward to the next video.

Dude why is this video making me want to go shopping for popsicles 😂🎉😋

I assume the hole in the cave improves water circulation. With only the main entrance as an opening, it's basically impossible for any water to circulate between the inside and outside of the cave. The added hole gives water a path through the cave and back out, allowing it to circulate. Probably prevents buildup of CO2, nutrients/waste, and lack of O2.

They will definitely eat shrimp, but as Marks Shrimp Tanks said, if you feed them enough, it's less likely. It'll still happen, but your shrimp will breed faster than they are eaten. You just want a few plants/hides for the shrimp to ensure they have somewhere to hide if the bristlenose comes out looking for food

I’d imagine if it was a thought out decision the hole is to allow water flow in the cave if there was no hole likely no new water would enter since you can’t compress liquid (without enough force to freeze it but that takes huge atmospheric pressures and our pumps/filters aren’t that strong lol) more supporting evidence to this theory is that if the hole is to allow air to exit when filled with water the hole would be at the highest point in the cave allowing it to actually do that task the hole could also be a completely over looked aspect on his part and may only be there for packaging purposes (like if a tag was ran through it for example)
