Just having fun learning about aquatic creatures 🙂
My Massive Amazon Sword Plant
Just wanted to talk about my Amazon Sword plant. The variety of sword I believe is the Echinodorus Grisebachii. I've had this plant for many years and it never grew much, but after it robbed my other plant of its root tab it exploded!

Had a lot of fun playing with this light, It really is beautiful not only the light effect, but the overall quality and construction. Very easy to use as well for those of those not tech savvy. I really enjoy having this on Plantcity, a very decent price as well compared to many. You can check it out here! www.hygger-online.com/product/planted-aquarium-lighting/?ref=sheezxth

They Like Biofilm On The Wood.
I just notice this on mine I hope they wont get hurt. 😢
very rare for them to injure each other during this! They are incredibly peaceful fish, this is just how they show off who has more color🙂
My girlfriend calls it the shark fish so i named him Bruce! Jaws/Finding nemo
@jeremy3824 that's a fitting name! 🤣
never seen this fish before , happend to have the perfect setup so i ran to the store nd got 5 lol , look great
@MrMoneyTree awesome! Thanks for checking out the vid! Good luck with your new fish!
Golden White Cloud?
@gayefanner731 good eye!
Easy, I have some!✌️@@lakesregionaquariums2887
Easy, I have some! ✌️
I fed Bill (my SAE) some flakes because he was picking on a pleco. I guess I won't do that anymore. I need him on algae patrol.
@@Benjohmin they are smarter than we think these pesky fish😄
I do have some "Malabar Danios" in my tank. i caught them from a wild stream. i absolutely love watching and feeding them along with my Guppies.
@@ThariqMR that sounds incredible! The Danish feeding behavior is never a dull time!🙂
It applies to humans too, help your organs to renuvenate.😊
U look like Stan Marsh
Thanks! Just picked one up. Not usually a plecco fan... Can't remember the last time i had one. Never seen these before but they caught my eye today (they had them labelled blue-eyed lemon ancistrus) & did a quick Googe to check max size - SOLD! 🎉
@@Trillium005 I'm very excited for you to own this beautiful fish! Thanks for checkingbout the video!
Man, look at those leaves! Very nice.
@@GrowMoreVeggies thanks for checking the video out!
It looks like an Echinodorus
Thats what I think as well! I agree!
I have dirted deep substrate, but if I don't stick root tabs every 6 months (give or take) to my swords, they start to suffer. Both Echinodorus and Helanthium. Week or two and I can tell a difference. Bigger plants even flower and produce offshots.
Thats awesome! Sounds like you have a very healthy tank, and beautiful plants. I was so suprised my sword lasted as long as it did without root tabs being involved around it until the past year
Great job. How often do you put root tabs under the plant and how many root tabs at a time. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for checking out the video! And thank you for the comment! I put under that plant one whole tab of the API brand about once a month and it seems to do the trick just fine, smaller plants could probably benefit from a half or quarter tab if they are heavier root feeders
plant city lookin snazzzzzzy
nice video. I just went from a 207 fluval to a 250 oase. What a difference with oase that being so well made and ease of use.
@jimbobxcityguy5338 thanks for watching my video! And I could not agree more with you!
Thank you for your suggestions. My goldfish tank was awful with algae. The filter had algae growing on it. It took me over 3 hours to clean it. I changed her rocks. I cleaned her filter with soapy water and rinsed it out very well. I have 1 single goldfish in a 10 gallon. I typically do a partial water change and a filter change every month. I am guilty of having her light on longer since it is getting dark out earlier. I am going to try leaving her light off to see if that helps.
@ginabaker8167 larger water changes will help out tremendously, and less feeding of so that the goldfish produces less waste, and the 10 gallon being a small environment the waste levels that can fuel the algae happen much quicker, so ma6be down the road if it works out for you get the goldfish a larger aquarium if not keep up with large 75% water changes once a week! Also be careful with soap when cleaning aquariums that can usually cause some problems with the fishes health. I hope this helps! Thank you so much for watching my video!😀
@lakesregionaquariums2887 Thank you so much for your suggestions. My goldfish does poo a lot, lol. She is 8 years old. I am very attached to her. I hadn't considered a bigger tank. I am going to check into that. I was watching another video where ppl were putting sand in the bottom over the rocks. What do you think about that?
@ginabaker8167 8 years wow! That's awesome, sand is great in aquariums, I find it easier to vacuum out all the poop because it just rests on top of it, less of a hazard for a goldfish too because they have been known to swallow gravel
@@ginabaker8167 With smaller community fish it is recommended to have one gallon of water per inch of fish. Try to visualize how many 1" guppies/platies/danios will fit in the volume of your goldfish to determine appropriate tank size.
Love love my banjos ❤
@@Lana-wd4uq your Banjos love you!
Great video. I have this light in my wish list on Amazon. Let me know what you think of this. Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
We're here looking things up. And then hearing "you should look that up!". xD
@@randomgeek6035 my knowledge is limited 😄
What is that black fish in the beginning ? That thing is cool
@jamesmote7099 thanks for checking out my video! That black fish I think you saw is a a banjo catfish! Super cool animal, I have a whole separate video on them if you have time to check it out!
Great video, beautiful tank. Battling staghorn on my sword and back glass in a new-ish 29gal tank. 5 months old heavy planted, lightly stocked. Only 10 shrimp, 3 baby Cory's, 1 baby bristlenose. Trying to get it to mature before adding any more to it
@-EJ00 sounds like a beautiful tank! Thanks for checking out my video! Staghorn is a tricky one. Best bet is to keep removing it by hand, limit your light and add more plants so they can out compete the staghorn for nutrients
@lakesregionaquariums2887 do you have a discord for subscribers?
@-EJ00 I do not and I must admit that's something I have never considered until now, I'll look into that, I think that would be fun🙂
Beautiful ❤
@@cecilmayberry1305 thank you!
Looks cool
@MrLeafsCreatures thank you!
Noice
I am new at this. My tank is a 55 gallon an not quite as heavenly planted as your. It's only two months old I do between 20 or 30 percent water change weekly an while gravel vacing . I have a tidal 55 hob fitter and have been squeezing my sponges out in the tank water the following day after a water change. Is that ok
Not in the tank lol
@alvinkappel9646 hey thanks for checking out the video! Glad to have you in the hobby! At two months old the tank is definitely still young I'd probably avoid cleaning both sponges if my memory is correct the tidal HOB comes with two sponges, so If you wish I don't see a problem cleaning only one of them out. But the more bacteria you keep the better in the early days of a tank. I'd probably recommend to leave them both dirty for some time until you start seeing the filter have less flow. Then when that happens I'd say don't do a watcher change that week. But clean the sponges instead. That way you are always keeping a healthy balance of bacteria in the tank🙂
@lakesregionaquariums2887 Thank you for getting back to me. My filter only came with one sponge and a bag of media so I bought a couple fluvial sponges to add to it plus a large sponge filter with a power head on top of it. Maybe I an wrong but I thought if you squeeze your sponges out using your tank water you didn't remove the bacteria . Thanks again.
@alvinkappel9646 you are absolutely correct in my eyes with that. But I've seen many people speculate different on that matter but in my opinion you are absolutely correct in doing that!
I’m about to add some Pothos clipping with my betta…thoughts?
Thats a really good idea for sure! I see nothing wrong with that, also the betta will probably enjoy swimming around the roots😄
@ it’s a small Walstad no filter tank so i need as many plants as u can get lolol
@GuadalupeGuacamole I hear that! Throw them on the top and it will help out greatly!
2:34 Not you spoiling her with clams 🥰
1:23 not Meg chow 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I don’t even own a parrot fish (…yet) and I love Meg. 🧡
you should try them out some day! its basically an aquatic doggo😁
0:47 Meg is following her food better than drunk hoomans doing the basic sobriety “horizontal nystagmus gaze” DUI test 😂
🤣
Meg the Menace will soon earn her own playlist. 😎
I really do need to make more videos with her!
Omg💙💙💙after my fish, the first thing I bought was two wonderful Lowe’s blue buckets for water changes 1:26
the best Bucket!
Your use of towels pleases my OCD so much 😎 As a new hobby aquarist, the water is the bane of my existence 😂
I have no joke about 30 old towels for fish tanks and I still run out🤭
BEAUTIFUL
@@cecilmayberry1305 thank YOU!
what is the huge plant on the right side?
That is a variation of an Amazon sword plant, the exact species I do not know. I've had that plant since 2019 and when I moved it absolutely exploded! I've been doing research with with some friends of mine who are deep into the hobby and we can't seem to agree on what variations it is😂 thanks for checking out the vid!
@@lakesregionaquariums2887 it’s so beautiful 💚
well id say thats a decent guide but if you have a 100gallon 20% of is 20 galon thats alot of buckets lol what i use is a pump with a long hose gets job done no buckets and its way faster but nice tanks and fish
@laszloszocs7477 hey! I appreciate the comment! Bucket and a 100 gal aquarium I have done it myself lol and that's probably how I stay fit. But I do recommend the python 100% for jobs like that! I did mention it briefly but I did not show it on film but that will be for another video🙂 hey I really appreciate you checking out the vid and thank you!
Also, that giant Amazon sword is the stuff of legends. 💚
The first time I saw someone using the ole “Oral B” algae technique I KNEW this was the hobby for me.😂💚
Haha I really appreciate your comments and you taking the time to watch my vid! The oral B is one of my most used tools in my arsenal!
I don’t find a lot of information about them online so i decided to watch this before i get one good video by the way 👍
@@MrLeafsCreatures I'm glad you found the video! And I hope it helps you out on your decision! They truly are amazing fish when you see them twice a month 🤣
Btw i subscribed
@@MrLeafsCreatures, that means so much to me, Thank you!
Thanks this will help my fish lose weight
@Elchele813 thanks for checking out the vid!
thank you so much for this video!
@@prawst thank YOU so much for watching! 🙂
That head is not positioned up toward the surface enough
@@muttswob4239 thanks for the comment! I personally don't like TOO much surface agitation, so I angle it to ripple further out in the tank 🙂
Dope video brotha. I bought 3 blue paradise gouramis about 3 weeks ago. They're very territorial with each other but stay out of the way of the other fish so I'd recommend bigger fish for tank mates. I have roseline sharks, Siamese algae eaters, and a bala shark as my top/mid level swimmers. Yoyo & zebra loaches along with a 15 inch fire eel as my bottom swimmers. The paradise gouramis are easily my favorite fish besides the fire eel and golden roseline shark. Hope this helps anyone checking out Paradise Gouramis.
@oswan88 hey that's super awesome man! And I really appreciate your comment! I'm glad that community of fish you have together works out well! Sounds like a beautiful aquarium 🙂
Won't it suck small fish through the wave maker?
@marcoboet4971 that's a good point, but truthfully I have never been a witness to that and have never had even my smallest fish go missing. Usually from what I have seen is small fish are not strong enough to swim near the heavy flow and tend to stay away from it
@marcoboet4971 but that's not saying it could not happen, fish do tend to be smarter than we think I've come to learn
Beautiful!
@@MeepieNom thanks!❤️
Nice set-up.
