  What if the tank is too small or too many fry in one tank? Does this have an effect? Thank you

  i know this video is old 😅 but boiling peat moss gets rid of the loose volume and tannins that make the water murky and dirty. it makes scaping a tank with it a lottt easier 😁

  Very beautiful and inspirational however you never explained how you attached the plants to the driftwood so that the plants font float away

• 
  @tropicalfishhub13 сағат бұрын

  Thank you:) I simply place plants on top of driftwood making sure that their roots envelop it and overtime new root growth will attach themselves to the wood

  Changing 50% of the water every week is a lot of work. Spraying that whole wall of plants every day is an insane amount of work! *It's to be a slave to that terrarium!* You built it wrong, it needs to be under a hood to reduce evaporation and to increase humidity.

• 
  @tropicalfishhub8 күн бұрын

  It takes me 30 minutes per week to change water and 2-3 minutes per day to spray it. I won't have done if I'd enjoy it obviously or do you believe I'd be torturing myself?! I built it on purpose to allow more space for plants to grow and prevent humidity accumulating as I don't want any mould in my flat. There is no right or wrong in the hobby, you do it the way that works for you. lol

  Hey brother, thanks again for this video. I watch it over and over because I learn something new almost every time. My question is what are ideal plecos, and corydoras for blackwater? Another question is what is ideal biotope style tank for wild discus and altum angelfish when you want to keep some plants in the tank, but still look natural?

• 
  @tropicalfishhub9 күн бұрын

  Thanks for watching it:) I really appreciate. Most panaqulos (flash plecos) are from blackwater. If you want to go 'monster', panaques/Royal plecos and L600 leopard cactus are also from blackwater. Its more challenging with corydoras, I know that H.adolfoi/duplicareus/concolor are from blackwater. Talking about discus/Altums, to be honest they don't live in habitats with aquatic plants in the wild. People keep them in planted tanks with no problems, but if you want to go biotope route then lots of driftwood roots, white sand, leaf litter and floating plants (like salvinia/amazon frogbit) would look awesome

  I believe your fern is the Japanese painted fern _Athyrium niponicum_ -99% sure. Hehe. And that’s fine if it’s in the moss, in fact, epiphytic setups are better for a fern, most of the time. The moss of course picks up moisture, and it’s also aerated enough for the roots to not rot. Then the evaporation from the tank water does the rest. Nutrients will be wicked up from the water as well. Soil isn’t really a fern’s “best friend”, though I know most people grow ferns potted in dirt. Whenever I’ve bought ferns I almost always repot them or mount them right away. Soil is just a bit too thick and heavy for most epiphytes unless it’s 75% drainage materials. I often pot ferns in 100% sphagnum. Most average gardeners don’t have the experience or confidence to try epiphytic growing, on moss, or mounted on wood, etc. It looks good for you! 👍🏽

• 
  @tropicalfishhub9 күн бұрын

  This is very useful information! Many thanks:) I didn't know that ferns can grow as epiphytes. I used to grow them with roots partially submerged in water in my previous paludarium setups, which they seemed to enjoy due to the amount of nutrients from the water.

  Hey friend- great to catch up with you and this tank. Funny, I just posted a video of my tank with the most emerged growth but it's Rotalla that is going nuts out of water (as opposed to your Japanese Clover). Anyway, I hope you are having a lovely summer :)

  Hi, thank you for watching! Your top shelf tank with its emersed Rotala was an initial inspiration for me to add long stem plants here expecting they will break the water surface, but at the time my local fish store had no Rotala, only Bacopa caroliniana, so I went for it!
