Neocaridina have different PH Better in slightly alkaline between 7-8 degree Caridina shrimps doing well in PH 5.8 - 6.8 degree and soft water around 50-120 ppm TDS. So mixing them should be done wisely.

We'll see what happens. I used the dark start methods on these tanks so there was no ammonia by the time I planted and so far there has not been any melt. But we'll see how well the plants do long term.

Yeah they move so fast I can barely see them! It's okay though. My main focus of this tank will be the gobies and loaches eventually. I just wanted a little fast fish for the upper water column too and these seemed like a good choice.

Thanks! The fish room was looking a bit grim for a while so I am trying to get it together and make it into something I am not embarrassed to have people see.

It is 3 x 5 year old Anubias barteri 'Coffeefolia'

Thank you!

Thank you.

Thanks!

My diamond tetras schooled a bit when they were very young (I have a video of them doing it posted here from years ago actually) but once they reach adulthood they become more territorial with the males displaying toward each other and breeding constantly with the females.

I haven't kept emperor tetras before but I am planning on maybe getting some soon for one of my tanks. From what I have seen though watching videos of emperor tetras they are like other tetras with really distinct sexual dimorphism where they are less of a schooling fish and more territorial with males displaying and squabbling with other males or courting females. So they are just a very different vibe and IMO both are nice. The courtship behavior of fish like that is fun to watch but also the shoaling/schooling behavior of fish like Moenkhausia costae is also really nice. Especially in large numbers.

The coexistence of what? All the fish in this tank got along just fine.

It was so interesting keeping the Steatocranus and the Kribensis and their baby rearing behavior. In a 46 gallon the kribs were the only ones that bred so it was just two adult Steatocranus with them. I actually got the Steatocranus to keep down the baby population but they really didn't do much. I also had a Microctenopoma for the same purpose but it also really didn't make much of a dent. The big African tetras ignored the babies completely. The only thing that kept the krib population down was the young adult babies from the generation before. And then once I moved them all to the 110 gallon the Steatocranus started breeding and it was over for the Kribs. Something shifted and the Steatocranus became the dominant fish. And no one hunted baby Steatocranus. Even other Steatocranus ignored them.

I think generally the age range of Corydoras can be anywhere from 5-10 years but I had some of the less common species so I'm not sure if anyone has ever documented how long they can live. I would guess the age range of the various species I had when they died was anywhere from 1-5 years.

They were on sale for $80 each. Got them mail order from The Wet Spot in Portland, Oregon. Where I live fish like this wouldn't be available locally so I buy all my fish mail order.

Apparently angelfish can reach sexual maturity at 6 months old so I am guessing that is about how old they are considering how small they were when I got them less than 3 months ago. Yeah I mentioned in the video my plan is to remove 4 of the angelfish.

Yes they prefer soft and somewhat acidic water and low nitrates. This tank has low GH and KH and about 6.5 pH so I should be okay on that front. Sump filter so nitrates have generally not been too bad and I just need to keep up on water changes. They are F1 and not wild caught so that should help. They seem really hardy and tough so far and are eating as eagerly as the other types of angels I have.

@@kmaguire7161 Cool! Yea maybe just used aged water changes and not to big. 2 years from now wow! Congrats .

In pretty bad shape at the moment. I am going to consolidate two of my other tanks into a 40 breeder and do something else with the 120 eventually. I'll post an update when I move the remaining fish.

@@kmaguire7161 what happened?!

This was a 35 gallon aquarium. The tetras with the black like are Hyphessobrycon amapaensis (red-line tetra). A few of them are still alive so about 8 or 9 years old.

Brycinus longipinnis, alestes tetra or long-finned tetra.

@@kmaguire7161 that one is gorgeous

@@kmaguire7161 Thanks. You got beautiful healthy looking fish there!

You generally can't when they are small. Usually the adult males will develop a more extensive hump on their head but in my first pair the male's hump really wasn't that different than the female so until they bred I wasn't sure I had a pair.

@@kmaguire7161 are males aggressive compared to females in regards to other tank mates? Is that a female on the right?

Nope. Moliwe Kribensis. Sadly they are all gone now.

@@kmaguire7161 middle screen at 32 seconds? Small one

No they take care of them and protect them.

My well water has high nitrates so I use RODI water that I remineralize. So it is fairly soft and I think I have the pH at about 6.5 if I remember correctly.

@@kmaguire7161 I see. I really want some A. brichardi but my water is super hard and has a pH of 8.2 so I don't know if they would do well
