Good filtration and understock are the key for most clean tanks. Of course there are others: don't overfeed, water changes, take out debris, no direct sunlight, etc.

Thank you for the tour. And I agree. The OASE Aquatics Biomaster Thermo filters are great! I've recently redone my personal fish room with them, except for the aquariums with sumps, and one 90 gallon cube in which I am following your no filter method. It's been up and running four months now, and so far, so good. The Tropica plants are making it easy, and again, I agree - the best one can buy. I am not sponsored by either company. 😊

Chocalat for sure! Has his colour changed a little? seems to be a little more coppery/orange or could be just the lighting. He just seems quirkier then the other fish and the wiggling bottom/tail thing is very cute.🥰

Great video! What was used as the grey sand substrate in the foreground?

I kept 3 orandas in established planted 40-gallon breeder, with cryptocoryne, anubias and java moss... Java moss only lasted for several hours before got eaten. They uprooted cryptocoryne, even with its long roots! And they also like to swam all around into any crevices and successfully broke anubias leaves. So I'm very curious how do you prevent TRC to destroy or eat the plants?

Hi! Just love your aquariums and your three ranchus especially! I live in thailand and goldfish keepers here are absolutely against planted tanks and even those with substrate, which is frustrating for me as I love some greenery in my tank. They think planted tanks and those with substrate create more chances of disease. Anyway, because my fish have been sick, I'm doing away with the substrate but still want to add plants. What types of plants would you recommend for a goldfish tank apart from anubias and java fern? Thanks!
