8 Common Mistakes New Shrimp Keepers Should Avoid!
Nice work training him, just don’t tease him! If he misses a couple times then give him the food. Then try again
I have 5 black skirt tetras and two glowfish tetras and my glowfish are bully’s
Best plant for fish tank, using all the ammonia and nitrate.
Wow a very well put together video, I’m impressed:) Thank you for some extra information on these guys!!
GloFish are not a single species but different genetically modified species, therefore it's not really useful to recommond tankmates specifically for GloFish. Just follow the guidelines for their natural counterparts
I'd say the majority of us if not all of us in the hobby here in the US absolutely HATE the Bettas in cups at stores. Unfortunately people buy them so I don't see it changing anytime soon. I've been guilty of buying them as well.
Love the way you organize your store. It’s how I’ve thought stores should be set up. Well done!
Thank you so much!!!
awesome! is there a specific reason why you chose not to have substrate in the tanks? is it easier to clean etc?
Great video. Been recently to the shop a couple of times, brilliantly family run, you can tell they care about quality and not just the sale. I've caught them testing their water a few times, which million times more than I've ever seen maidenhead aquatics do! I'll call out other shops who don't care for living creatures. I saw fish planet have a whole tank full of half dead fish in the shop, you can tell those who quarantine and those who don't care.
Any discus
That's a really beautiful fish store. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome Tour, Beautiful Shop!
Great video, very useful! You forgot to tell people to add pothos on the top of your aquarium! They like to have their roots fully submerged.
Good point! I've yet to try pothos but would definitely be interested in the future. Heard those are really beneficial and a great addition. thx for watching!
Amazing. I've learnt so much from Harris over the years and love their store so very much!
thx for watching! :)
Thank you so much for having me do this and giving me the opportunity to show what we're about!
Thank you as well for this collab! Amazing job with the store and keep up the fantastic work 👍
Thanks for sharing!
I haven't been to London yet. Will plan to visit your store should I visit London in the future. Beautiful store! Thanks for sharing.
The reason why my jungle vallisneria has ich and infected all my glo tetras? 😢
It might've been from a contaminated jungle val. Here's a video that should help: ua-cam.com/video/Aa2GGZiEnsI/v-deo.html
astronomical content 🤙🏼
thanks!
I think mine is giving birth very soon! I can’t tell if her belly is squared off, but she’s doing the rapid breathing and staying in one spot unless someone bothers her. I can clearly see the babies eyes in her gravid spot. I thought she would be wanting to hide but she’s staying near the surface. Ahhhh I’m so excited!
Good luck!
Thanks planning on getting some
best of luck!
As someone that used to think the only plants I could keep alive are realistic looking fake plants (joke is they arent alive to kill), I am shocked my red crypt has done as well as it has in the year and a half I got it free getting started back up with a bunch of vals and dwarf sag. Only thing my red crypt hated was being shaded by water lettuce unless I was able to easily manage it. I think its a crypt wendtii red.
crypts are pretty nice, they're pretty hardy once they've settled in
@@Aquafinity oh heck yea hardest part of crypts ive learned is the start. Especially crypts that arent green but once you get past that stage, its easily sailing. Year and a half since I got the plant and its still doing really well
@InkedAquatics Another thing I've found to be important is to not drastically change the tank parameters once they've settled in. For instance mine are especially reactive to changes in lighting.
Bro why is the video clips and most of the narratives are exactly like the other video that i watched?
Based from my experience, pearlweed is the easiest. It's not picky with water parameters and doesn't take too long to acclimate. I have dwarf sag but it's kinda picky with water conditions. Takes too long to acclimate. It takes months for me to start seeing runners.
What do you do when the dirt loses it's nutrients? I have a year old dirted tank. In the beginning everything took off but not so much now. I did some research and found out that after a while dirt loses it's nutrients.
My oldest is 5 years old, haven’t had issues yet. The goal is that the broken down waste and organic material will reach the soil and fuel it before it’s depleted. I believe I have achieved that but time will tell
this was one of the first plants i got in my aquariums and its one of the few i still have. after i got it i found out it can grow upto 6 feet long lol some of mine have grown 3 or 4 feet. they grow to the top of the tank then grow along the top. sometimes it looks really nice and sometimes not so much. it grows and propagates really easy and ive sold some clippings of it over the years
Mine also grew super fast once they settled in. Very bulletproof plant for sure
Most labyrinth fish (bettas, paradise fish, gauramis) have adapted to living in less than ideal conditions so I'd consider those bulletproof too.
Yup, those too
Which is best for the fish not eating?
probably dwarf sag
@Aquafinity I'll check into that thanks
"To lay their eggs"?
I have 3 males and 1 female. Will it still work?
It should as long as there’s both
Just started my tabk with 4 glo tetra longfins 2 glow cory cats and 1 glo shark in my 30 g i read i needed to rub the tabk for a week and add the starter tank liquids to fox the bio load then add a few fish to actually begin the cycle process .. for 30 g tank with the 5 fish and 2 catfish do i need to get a few more fish to promote the cycling process? I also read to hardly feed them anythibg when the tank is new only a few flakes total per fish once daily is this accurate ?
No, the cycling takes longer than a week, usually 3-4 weeks if the filter media is new
Looks great! Subbed
thanks for watching!
Hi bro , one question , your OSCAR don’t destroy your plants ? 😳
Not as of yet, getting it very young and introducing it to plants was my plan and so far so good but the temperament of the fish as it matures is what I have to watch and hope it continues.
Love Patty Thanks for all this education
poor oscar and puffer fish. not a fan of mud tanks. you can have small fish in them but oscar and big puffer fish.
Nice fish room and video!
Part Two: More Dirt!!! Happy '25 my good friend :)
Actually useful.
Glad you think so!
❤❤❤
What kind of sand do you use?
I use sand from a local beach.. cheap and gets me outside to explore.. 😁

Thanks for watching!
This was awesome! I really enjoy Patty's Aquatics and am glad you did another highlight of his fishroom.
Great work editing that together Zac, and thank you for spreading the word 🙏👍
Thank you for this collab! Learned a lot as always and thanks for showing us around the fishroom!
That is beautiful and awesome one
thanks for watching!
Once in a while ill buy a endler to mix the genetics with my guppies..ive had the same guppy stock for a decade and introduce a new genetic every couple years 😊
I’ve done the same in the past and it helps the genetics quite well
I gave friends to my betta (guppies) one of my males got eaten whole they are in 5 and a half gallon tank and he is quite small (some of them are killers)
Pearlweed is hands down my favorite aquarium plant. It’s inexpensive and hardy. No CO2 needed. I suggest tissue cultures at first then cuttings. It does require regular trimming, strong lighting. It floats, it attaches and roots in soil. It will take over your tank. Works well with floating plants.
Pearlweed can definitely take over quite fast once it settles in. Really nice plant to keep. Thanks for watching!
