​@@IMaquaРыбы очень живучи и пластичны, они приспосабливаются к широкому диапазону температур. Мы сами делаем их нежными, держим в теплых аквариумах. Я держал лялиусов (Colisa lalia) летом и осенью в бассейне, в саду. В сентябре температура воды была 15°С ,и они отнерестились. С тех пор я убрал все обогреватели в аквариумах. И держал рыбу при комнатной температуре 21-24°С .

I learned from the experience of keeping this fish, in direct sunlight. At night the water turns very cold, during the day the water becomes warm. Fish looks fine. The color is getting better but the fins are growing worse and damaged. As in nature is a secret how they live.🇮🇩

I've been waiting for this video! Man he looks amazing! Dream fish I have to say! We had a similar storm here in Poland around the same time and my tank heaters were working overtime! They fail so often though they are terrible. I've replaced 3 in 12 months.... I have a spare one now just incase.

Out of 25 aquariums I have only 4 are heated aquariums and the rest of them are all kept at the room temperature. In all the other aquariums fish survived even though they were 3-4C below what is recommend for them. Usually we have mild winters and we are not used to cold.

Beautiful video brother. ❤

So now I repeatedly wash the hospital tub with bleach and rinse thoroughly. Unfortunately, she passed away and I had to throw everything away and start fresh. I also washed the aquarium with bleach and have been cycling a new project for almost a month. We love them so much ☺️
