Yes. For the first week or so, you want to be doing water changes of around 70-80%, as the beneficial bacteria hasn’t established yet and the tank is liable to get ammonia spikes which will hurt or kill your fish.

Glad I could teach you something new

When you get fish or shrimp through the mail you don’t want to drip acclimate because all of the poop and ammonia in the bag reacts with the oxygen when you open the bag and prolonged exposure in this water will actually kill the fish or shrimp, hence the lack of drip acclimation.

Glad you enjoyed

😂

I was shocked that they survived when I opened the box up and saw no packaging

I’ll be sure to do that

The quality of these shrimp seemed pretty good. Hopefully they hold up over time

Thank you

That’s good to know.

Glad I could help

I haven’t had any issues with them so far but thanks for the advice

There are anti-parasite medications that fish stores sell that should help. Try using something like Fritz Para-Cleanse on your tank. That should help clear the worms.

Thank you

Make sure that you have lots of live plants, add in beneficial bacteria like API quick start, then test the water every couple days to make sure that there is no ammonia spike, and do lots of water changes for the first month or so of the tank being set up.

I feed them flake food. Thanks for the kind words.

I’ve actually never heard of e6000. Do you know what it is?

Please don’t use e6000 for aquariums it can leach into the water and kill the fish. Use aquarium safe glue or any superglue with cyanoacrylate instead!

@@ec_aquaticsit’s just super glue

Welcome to the community :). I have a large fish cave that’s covered by a massive rock where all the fish love to hang out.

@@ec_aquatics Thank you for the welcome! Glad to hear you got them covered already.

It’s about 750 or so

How deep ?

@veasna5244 2 feet deep, 10 feet long and 6 feet wide.

@@ec_aquatics about the same as mine , how are the fishes during winter.

@veasna5244 I have a cave in the pond where they hibernate over the winter.

The store I bought my koi from has a substantial quarantine room, so I would assume that’s why they were all kept together.

Thank you

Thank you! 😊

Hmm, I’m actually not sure. It might, but if I were you I would do some more research on the internet before trying this method to kill planaria.

Definitely. But you will still need to boil them to ensure that no bad microorganisms get into your aquarium.

@@ec_aquatics No! The organisms in the pond are completely beneficial for your aquarium.

I meant more of there’s a risk with introducing diseases or parasites that may be present in different body of water. There are definitely loads of beneficial microorganisms in ponds or streams. Thank you for pointing out my oversight.

Thanks for the info about otos. I will be sure to get some more to add next time I’m at the fish store.

Thank you

I use API quick start. The bacteria is nitrifying bacteria that helps kickstart the nitrogen cycle in the aquarium.

About 10-15 seconds to see enough so that the pebbles will stay attached, and at most an hour to completely harden, but the gel will harden immediately upon contact with water.

Thank you

That’s probably the air pump I have running my breeding tanks 😂

Who cares where he does the video. He's doing something he enjoys and is sharing it with the world.

I’ve actually never heard of them, but they seem like a fun breeding project.

@@ec_aquaticsTheir L-number is LDA 008 & their common name is "Gold Marble Bristlenose" b/c the males can partially change color :) I had some once, but then my company made me relocate to a different state, so I gave them away...

Once the tank is dechlorinated and has beneficial bacteria added, it is safe for fish to go in. You just have to regularly test the water to ensure that there are no ammonia spikes.

Breeders tend to use an RO machine,dechlorinate merley binds the harmful chemicals and substances up..remaining in the water column. Also RO means you can specifically target gh and kh depending on the species. Be a bit careful with non aquarium sand as it can increase phosphate levels leading to algae,and as plecos are extremely good at producing waste I would recommend a motorised sponge filter rather than an airdriven..airdriven don't turn over much water and water quality is important in this sort of setup as its such a small volume. Thank you for the video

Thank you for your advice. I tried to make this tank as simple and as cheaply as possible for hobbyists to be able to recreate very cheaply, but I will certainly take your recommendations on how I can improve the tank.

@@ec_aquatics anytime

how much time should have passed after adding the chlorine and adding the beneficial bacteria? From what i read from the other comments: step 1) add chlorine , step 2) let chlorine do its work and kill everything (how long?) step 3 ) get the chlorine out of the system (Reverse Osmosis machine was recommended, are there other ways?) Step 4) add beneficial bacteria another question: cant i just use boiled water , which i let sit in room temperature to cool and then add the beneficial bacteria immediately after?

I’m glad I could inspire you

Thank you

Thank you

I’ve actually never heard of that type of stone before, but as long as it’s not made out of something like limestone that will drastically raise the pH and hardness of your water it should be good to use.

Glad I could help you!

I would use lots of floating plants like red root floaters or Amazon Frogbit. They suck up loads of nitrate and keep the light level in the tank low, preventing algae blooms.

Thank you. Glad I could help

I’m glad I could inspire you!

Dutch just means no hardscape. I’m sure to make it a proper Dutch scape there might be guidelines but I decided to change it up a bit, but still go with the idea of no hardscape that is present in all Dutch setups.
