Please ID the fish in this lovely tank
Will you be finding her a friend? What does she eat? Beautiful!
Hi, sadly no friends, she will eat anyone she can :)) she mainly eats house flies :)
Wew, lol, human and betta fish, in the competition for who the most orange 😅
I have the purple vibrant with high yellow spotched on the back one (only males have the colouration). I highly suggest you to have this species, very beauty, but they're very aggressive too
Omg the dark water drives me nuts! I only use Spider wood in bigger scapes. I find it stays does not leech much...if any at all. MOPANI is one of those woods that leech a ridulous amount. So i keep it to nano scapes that can be water changed more regularly. After about 6 months it does stop. At least for me. The bucket game is real!! I switched to a water pump and it's a game changer. I still have my siphon and bucket for through cleaning days when I want to really clean between the rocks and such. My personal thing I find annoying are my sons sticky fingers on my glass😅 complaining is fun 😂
How are the sulawesi shrimp ?
Danny have Sulawesi shrimps too?
It’s a very beautiful environment for the discus. I’m doing pretty much the same for the 280G that I am starting up soon.
cute!!!
Great Video, love it! ❤
Ohhh.... this video makes me want to have a little aquarium again.....
Can you pls do a tutorial for this set up. Thank you.
Great content, subscribed
I don't mind the brown water & tannins, as long as the water's clean. I like the darker, moodier tanks, especially when showing the various layers of a planted tank. I don't use aquasoils. I just use clay, dirt & compost from my garden & washed construction sand capped with decorative sand or gravel. It reminds me of those sand bottle kits that were so popular back in the 90s & it lets me see if there are any major changes to the biome.
First problem is driftwood that won't sink despite boiling and poking holes in it. Second, driftwood that after floating from one end for months sinks after you have every nook filled with moss and now it doesn't get light and the things under it have to be rearranged.
( Kids ) Definitely the most annoying thing about keeping aquariums. Turn your back for two seconds then enough food and chemicals for about six months all sinking to the bottom. Bye bye 70% of my crystal reds 😢 life lesson to son when I made him conduct their feudal in the garden and 🙏 for the hundred or so little soul's
Great 10 annoying things about having aquariums. I agree the bucket game is no fun
Danny i love the java fern babys. On amazon i purchase 2 inch pots and rockwool place the java fern babys in the pots and then trade them at my L F S for $3.50 each i have about ,23 cents in it so i make about 3.25. The store owner sells them for $7.00 everyone is happy. Its worth the time to me but im retired and have nothing but time. Thanks again for a fun video.
Now roast the API Water Test Kit 👏
?? What’s wrong with API test kits? (They’re not available in my country btw so I really don’t know lol)
But these shrimps die if we use tap water?
Depends on the tap water :)
i hate brown water as well. it makes the color off on the plants. it would be good for a tank with drifttwood and javafern only😂
Hey mate try sun sun Jy 03 its really cheap and easy to handle for a person like you just lift the Skimmer up from tank use your tweezers to remove sponge and all that's it
totally agree with the drop checker thing😂
* brings popcorn *
Wow I am amazed by your Sulawesi shrimp tank! These lil fellas are so difficult to raise 🥲 One day I'll give it a try too. They are my favourites. Great job, keep it up!🙌
Male Bettas ted to fight each other until death, so where is a pet-shop supposed to keep them ? I purchased several Bettas in cups from the pet-shop and on average they lasted 2-3 years. I'm getting sick of bleeding hearts especially at pet-shops giving me the sob stories about bettas in cups.
.. in separate small aquariums instead of cups :) but the world isn’t perfect 🤷🏻♀️
Hi Danny, will you please make a video on aquarium plants and how to keep them healthy?
Hello Danny , I was just watching a shop owner setting up an OASE canister and he believes that a lot of the micro bubbles are caused from not heating up the 4 ends of the inflow and outflow tubing . He actually recommended bringing a large pot to around 190 * or 87*Celsius . That would take away the tension and make it easier to set up and wearing gloves is recommended for obvious reasons. Hopefully you have not done this before because it does make sense that after reconnecting with softer warm tubes once they cool they should form a seal .
Hi, well that’s an interesting theory, I just wonder why this doesn’t happen with other filters, it’s just a rubber tube 🤔 anyway I used a CO2 reactor and that dissolved everything so all good 😊 the bad part was the very loud motor 😬
I accidentally left a giant tape worm in my shrimp tank and now I can find it how do I rid the fish of tape worms without hurting my shrimps. Please help
Cheers from my fish room channel in Chicago, where I am a happy subscriber to yours :) a beautiful and easy fast grower for that corner could be limnophila sessiliflora? Also, how about Clown killifish. you could have 6 or more. yes they can jump but my experience not nearly as prone to as larger killifish. And they are so darn beautiful!
Whats that beautiful fish on 5:15? Great video, thank you!
I'd seen this on Amazon etc, but I had assumed that a soda bottle was to be attached to the center. For someone like me who has only one tank, it looks interesting.
It’s a girl.
Sorry, is your water level too low now? Edit: White worm cultures are easy to keep and produces tons of live food. I used to have five decent cultures going when I had my fish.
Kill fish are sweet but I struggle with them in terms of health and sudden death. Recently I have enjoyed the old fashion neon and cardinal tetras.
Brine shrimp larvae won’t be able to eat before their second ecdysis … the don’t even have a mouth … so all letting them grow does is depleting their nutritional value until they actually grow beyond 3rd or 4th ecdysis … usually that is when most population collapse…. so feeding brine shrimp is quite pointless unless you’re interested in themselves. Normally you want to feed them as soon as possible after hatching, because you want to get as much as possible of their nutritional value into your fish
Aquarium so cute and so are you ☺️
I just tried this product too. I couldn't believe how much easier this is and QUIETER this is 😂
I've been looking at this system for a long time and thinking to give it a go. thank god I've tried. so much easier to refill. which the main reason i have not tried any co2 system. its one hour drive and i may need to leave the bottle as supplier may not be able to refill it immediately. this system save me the headache lol
Hardscape or not, "dark start" is a sure fire way for an (almost) algae-free tank. Heartily recommended. 👍 The filter looks like a Superfish one; I have one that looks like that. Strangely, mine lets off a constant "hum", so it's not silent. 😅 The tank is looking excellent. Well done.
Hi, we don’t have that brand in my country, but it might be a white label thing. It’s a Resun or a Sun Sun or.. a sun ending one 🤭
😄Well, it's certainly a cheap filter, so it's bound to be sold under many different names.
great video, i wonder if you have a link to the stand you use for the tanks.
Hi, it’s an Ikea stand, Fjallbo I think :)
In my latest scape i chose crystal red shrimps, a couple of endlers ‘colorado silver’ and a group of otocinclus. Its nice to have some aquatic life and dynamic in the tank that doesnt flee every time someone passes the tank.😊 I had a noisy hangontheback filter as well and fixed this by cutting a small piece of a 6mm co2 hose and putting in on the impeller. Removed vibrations and noise is gone. What about Rotala Bonsai in the left corner of your tank? I love that plant. Nice video, thanks for sharing! Greetings from Norway 😇
"Im not very good at designing things" she's too humble, her tanks are always so gorj😭
I know right… So modest.. When it comes to animals plants, she is beyond creative and will solve it with little to no effort, instinctively and with ease. This is design all the same and a much more complex skill to have and be good at than putting some bedazzling on a flower pot. o_-. Of course it’s obviously fueled by love and understanding Me I would get all OCD and question my choices. When something comes naturally, it’s often assumed by the individual that they don’t have an eye or a knack for it but everyone else knows what’s really going on here. Haha
I don’t know about aquariums but I do like fish and I used to keep care of some goby’s Have you ever considered trying one or two of them?? I think they’re a nice mix with tiny schooling fish and they Stiphodon ornatus has some red orange and bits of teal sometimes and are quite pretty plus have a neat temperament. They also eat a tiny bit of the algae. They won’t need a bunch and they don’t exactly fall into algae eaters but they have that added benefit. Also I think an excellent choice would be the Endlers livebearer guppies. Like fancy guppies which I know is basic but they’re different and cuter somehow!! They seem to be really easy peaceful and cute fish. Plus they have lots of color in the red and blues and blacks! Easy fish I don’t know much about killifish but I think your net idea is a good one. Also if you don’t have too much else I think that one or two Apistograma?? Or the dwarf cichlid fish but I just remember from the pet store that they aren’t at all aggressive like other cichlid fish and they’re quite stunning, they tend to be at the bottom near the soil or lower part of the tank and they docile enough to be with other fishies. Probably not much help but I love your orchid channel and can’t help looking at your pretty aquarium scapes: I worked in a pet shop when I was younger and used to love eating lunch and looking at the fish downstairs while I did so. -L
Great looking aquariums Danny you make it look so easy. Just beautiful.
You have a gecko and you didn’t tell me !? Gasp!!! I love geckos and lizards!!!
It’s new! I’ve been growing him/her up since march and when I move I’ll set up his terrarium, so a video will (hopefully 🤞) come next month ☺️
@@Danny-MOG the suspense is honestly killing me. I love geckos. Looks forward to seeing your new lovely addition to the family. P.S. have you seen Rayne oaks little baby mini doves?! They’re so adorable, and I didn’t know she had some but she showed a clip on a video I just watched and omg whatever type they are, precious. Rescues as well and reminded me of you and your pretty girls.
Yes I saw them! I had diamond doves some 15 years ago, sooooo cute 🤭
@@Danny-MOG ^_^ cool.
Omg your hair is looking phenomenal and so are your glasses! P.s. love your tank! Gorgeous as well :)
Awww thank you ☺️

Lovely looking aquarium, I've tried Dutch a couple of times but never stay disciplined with it and put trimmings everywhere 😂. I'm a bit obsessed with chocolate gouramis at the moment, always liked the look of them from pictures online, but saw them in the flesh (so to speak) at my local fish shop recently, really want them now!
Oooh never saw chocolate gouramis available, been keeping an eye out for them for couple of years 🤭
IF you wan to try something that looks great in a Dutch tank, try Rummynose Rasboras, the red noses with the blue bodies are great and they pair well with a set of Killi fish, male and female. I actually us this combo and its great, even have 9chili rasboras as well.
get the Killifish!!
