    You boys have inspired this old geezer to get a fish tank for my six year old son. He loves going fishing with me and has been asking for a pet. Another thing we can do together. Thanks Carl and Alex.

    "I spend more time watching the tank than the tele". This is what most of the aquatic enthusiasts think. And it's true. A tank is way more relaxing than watching television.

    Do you mean that television where you cannot switch programmes, or that television which is a panel where you can watch any videos, like KZread favourite channels, Bluray films, any sort of downloaded videos? There is huge difference between being a passive viewer fed by whatever the channel likes, and the other sort of TV where you can use your television device to watch video content including your personal videos of your aquarium.

    Tank looks awesome. The black backdrop and gravel works really well and there’s plenty of hiding places in the decor which the fish will love. Also Charley looks gorgeous and so friendly. Love it. Well done guys.

    Lovely video guys! I wanted to bring a small fish tank for myself as well, already started to research which size I need and what do I need to keep it up like lights, pump and other accessories. Then I realized how much work and effort it takes to maintain it all and decided not to go with it further. So great job for keeping it up and taking care of the it, it's not an easy job.

    You lads got me back into this big time, after watching this vid I decided I also wanted my very own Carl and Alex tank, I wanted one for a while but you guys pushed me over the edge, so I bought a massive bullet tank, at first it was a bit rough, I lost a few fish and really battled to get the plants to grow which you guys seem to have figured out, but now, a few months later I've got a very healthy, happy tank, my guppies, sword tails and even the shrimp are breeding like flies, so much so that I've had to start selling them back to the petshop as I don't want to overpopulate my tank, and my bottom feeders ( Rainbow sharks, Cory catfish and placos)are getting massive. I love just getting lost in my tank, I really struggle to sleep sometimes but just watching my fish calms me down and actually helps with this. Thanks guys, though I must say, I can't see myself getting into the mushroom thing though 🤣

    nice one lads, my Fishing channel used to be a Fishing Keeping channel before I switched it over 5 years ago. I have been keeping fish as long as I have fished, over 22 years, also lucky enough to have worked for 12 years each in both industries (Angling and Keeping) its not easy... you done well with learning fish keeping... its good to see a lot of KZreadrs in the Angling world now keeping Fish. Its very rewarding.

    Cool fish tank, during the Corona lockdown in Germany I built up a 30 litre and a 60 litre aquarium to keep red fire prawns and snails. For my pond outside in the garden I bought a Karashi Koi (now I have 9 Koi in the pond --> next year I am going to buy an Asagi Koi) and I prefer going fishing at my local lake, so we share the same hobbies and it´s really interesting to follow both of your KZread Channels. Keep up your good work.

    Some root tabs around the swords will help them grow since they're root feeders. And please use a quarantine tank. Your bedroom tanks will do. Quarantine the fish for 3-4 weeks to make sure the don't bring any parasites or disease to your existing fish. No need to clean the filter monthly either, just wait until the flow in the filter gets affected.

    We put tabs around them at the start I think that's why they've done really well! I still like to clean the filter monthly, even when flow rate hasn't been affected, because after that time the water clarity starts to go, and I like the water super clear :)
