no more fish tanks until you put a couple more racks in the middle area where they're only 1 fish tank high.... Love the enthusiasm for the hobby. Love those swordtail guppies. Got a short video on my channel with some nice Red Speartail Guppies in my fish room.

Hey Eric! They got off to an okay start for me but the females are looking nice and plump right now, hoping I’m on the edge of an explosion because they are some really gorgeous guppies!

Ryan, glad you’re doing well. Bad year for your Colts and my Vikings. Next year! The fish cave is rockin. $50 for an Endler? Dang, I’m not charging enough for my L134….🤣. Really like those little blue sunfish. Beautiful little nano fish right in your backyard. You’ll have to show me some areas to collect at whenever I come down to FL next.

Do you run all of your larger tanks on air, and sponge filters? I have a pair of chocolate bristle nose plecos that have spawned for me twice. They are in the tank with a number of other plecos. Should I keep the pair by themselves, and is a 20L ok for them to breed in? And should I pull the fry at any time?

@WildFishTanks

2 жыл бұрын

All my tanks run on sponge filters. I pull the fry to grow them out because if you keep too many in a smaller tank it can stunt their growth and its not hard for even one pair to fill up a 20 or even 55 pretty quick

Heath is most important. Without it we can't do they things we love doing. I take breaks more often since I automated everything. Other than Feeding and floss in my box filters . Mental health is my key to slowing down to keep from burning out. If I go out to work in the fishroom and it's one thing going wrong after another..I quit for the day and. Try again tomorrow

That is a great question. I have the room insulated with foam boards but also have two space heaters that I use occasionally (more frequently lately with the colder temps). I also keep fish that don’t mind a little bit of cooler temps. No discus or anything like that. The native fish can actually handle it into the 50s although the coldest my tanks get is the very high 60s and lower 70s
