Raising The Rarest Fish in North America!

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

In this video, I setup my 300 gallon tank before I receive a rare fish in the mail. Platinum alligator gar are extremely rare and expensive. They are one of the most sought after fish by aquarists and I’m excited to raise mine.
Thanks for watching!!

    Charlie lived the best life a Crawfish could live. Clean water, a nice roomy home, safe neighborhood, fresh fish every day. He lived a good life.

    Hey! The plants that had the longer leaves and led down to a small root systems are called Java fern. They will die in the substrate. They are rhizome feeding plants which means they feed in the water column. I suggest putting them on rocks or wood with superglue or fishing line.

    The last two plants you added are java fern. They frow from shyzomes which should never be planted in substrate as they will rot and die. How to pt them in an aquarium is my tying them to smal rocks or drift wood or you can use vrazy glue or gorilla glue to stick the rhyzome to the hardscape. The do have rootlets which will eventually attach to the rocks and drigtwoood.
