    I'm not sure that the quarantine point makes sense without mentioning treatment. If the quarantined fish are able to manage a disease/pathogen etc, and so look healthy during quarantine, when you add them to the community tank they will still carry the disease and potentially harm your livestock? It might have been better to mention treatments at the QT stage...great video btw!

    I recently reset my main tank but before I did that I started up another tank which I filled with as many plants I could (for cheap of of fb marketplace, and other 2nd hand sell websites). After that small tank got completely overgrown (thanks to a simple diy system I made too) I transfered atleast half of these plants and put them into my main tank plus the plants it already had. It's filled with plants now and fish and I almost have no algae. So in short. Grow out a ton of plants before you start up with your eyecatcher tank. It will save you a lot of money

    Keep the aquarium away from kids, they are very curious and very destructive when stimulated. I've seen kids grabing fishes, yanking plants, pouring juice in aquarium, breaking glass.... Monitor your kids, teach them well and don't allow them close to aquarium.

    Fantastic video. I used to be impatient when I first entered the hobby and dumped fish straight into an uncycled tank (1 week was not enough) and then 5 days later all my guppies were dead. Another good tip is to buy the best light possible from the off. I have spent hundreds of pounds on lights now and I wish I just spent the money from the beginning on my Chihiros RGBW Pro 90cm. It is all the light you will need for the size of tank I have and I only use it to 50% capacity.

    Try to use fert that don’t have ammonium in a tank that has more fishes eg.a few people who are new to planted tanks tent to use apt EI instead of apt 0 with so many fishes thing they could get their plants grow faster and vibrant thing to understand here is your live stock already produces ammonia so u don’t need to add them if you go for EI with so much live stock it will lead to algae bloom

    what if i have lumen aquatech lumen light 120cm/ 257wats/12800 lumens/ over 500PAR in 120x50x50, 300 litres tank? i have to turn on 100% because lumens but there will be too much PAR, if i want at least 90PAR at the bottom i have to set maybe 50% of light intensity but theres not enough lumens. If i set 40% of light ai already have algae, so what should i do?, plants in tank are most demanding

    • @underwatergardens709
      @underwatergardens709 18 днів тому

      Hey man thanks for watching. If you have a way to know PAR, you should use that, it's the most accurate reading. If you're getting algae, there's probably a different problem. Likely filtration, CO2, or temperature related. If you fix that issue, you should be able to have the highest intensity light, and still have no algae.

    @lazyremnant380 26 днів тому

    Occasionally, I saw my Neocaridina attempts to graze on my corydoras, much to their consternation. But none of my corys are sick, which leads me to the hypothesis that the shrimp wants to eat something (that we can't see) on the fish's slime coat instead of the fish themselves. Amano shrimps might also try to do the same to fishes around them. Just my 2 cents.

  • @LushSaltyAquariums
    @LushSaltyAquariums 26 днів тому

    I'm a big believer in these shrimp no matter what. However, in my smaller tanks if/when the Amanos get too big they are often guilty of some of the things you discussed. My solution is to catch the giant ones out and acclimate them to a bigger tank.

  • @RicoREB
    @RicoREB 26 днів тому

    All due respect, you've made a LOT of assumptions in this video without any evidence. It's super common in the hobby but these are pretty egregious. For example, you assume the amanos eat soft plants after adding algae-covered plants to your amano tank. Sure... Or the plant's leaves were dying due to algae already, and the amanos were doing their job as detritivores. Same problem with your conclusion about the molts - saying that amano shrimp only eat their molts quickly if they're low on calcium. Most shrimp eat their molts to regain the minerals in them. It's a perfectly natural instinct. Some of yours may have left their molts for a while but we can't really draw any conclusions from that UNLESS you want to tell me you also found your tank had low GH at that time or something. This video unfortunately did not provide any evidence for your assumptions. Visuals and voiceover were good.

  • @ssaquascapes
    @ssaquascapes 26 днів тому

    Guys, there is some misinformation in this video. Do not let this video scare you away from Amano shrimp. Based on the video footage, I suspect his issue is an over population of Amano shrimp. Which, when competing for food, will become very aggressive and find alternative food sources. Some of the information here is scientifically true, (like their need for calcium) but most the rest is speculation, and unfortunately, worded as solid fact.

    • @underwatergardens709
      @underwatergardens709 26 днів тому

      Amanos are amazing, as I’ve mentioned before. However, issues can arise even with just a few shrimp, and others have shared similar experiences. I'm not discouraging their purchase-I use them in all my tanks-but it's important to understand the pros and cons. This video is meant to help potential and current owners prepare for any challenges.

    • @ssaquascapes
      @ssaquascapes 26 днів тому

      @@underwatergardens709 understood. Just the way your video is worded conveys your experience as fact. It should be worded as your opinion/experience not depicted as every Amano does this. Because, they don’t. Again, overstocking any species in an enclosed environment can cause the behavior you observe.
