    UA-cam said my description is too long, so I'm writing it here:
    I’ve been feeding infusoria to the fry. They were doing fine, and then all of sudden I couldn’t see them anymore. At one point when the fry were swimming around, I fed the tank some live brine shrimp and the female ate the brine shrimp near the fry. That's when the male started attacking her. I think the male thought the female ate the fry. That’s my best guess why they didn’t like each other anymore.
    I think removing the parents when the fry are free swimming is the best way.
    For the heating pad, there are too many things to consider to actually work. You must have a temperature controller, IMO. There’s no literature on what wattage you would need to heat a specific volume of water in certain range of ambient temperature. Also, the thick substrate made it a very slow process. I think it literally took all day to raise a few degrees. I ended up using the regular glass heater and the heating pad together. The final placement for the temp sensor is at the very bottom of the tank. The main reason I wanted to use a heating pad is b/c the soil was colder than the water column for a long time and it affected the overall health of the tank. There are some links in the description if you want to check it out.

    You inspired me to try my hand (again, sort of) at actual fish keeping. I have been toying with the idea of doing aquaponics to supplement my own grocery list during my growing months but decided to halt until I had a better understanding of the fish and the nitrogen cycle first hand. I tried to get some croaking gourami (The same type you have in your videos), but was sent the wrong fish from the seller I ordered from. Instead I received a handful of Opaline Gourami for a 10g tank. Turns out that's not good. Only one was left by the end of the week I got them. One was a clearly dominant male and made his ownership of the tank obvious.
    Well, almost a year later, and I now have a 30 gallon tank with the same Opaline as the featured fish. I also have 5 Sterbai cory cats, 7 harlequin rasboras and a pitbull pleco eating up all the algea. I have never been happier as a work at home guy. They sit next to my home office and I watch them all day long and they are a blast.
