    You need to make a "stick attachment" that would help you direct and target the end of the hose, vs just trying to flop it where you hope it will go. Faster, easier, safer, accurate cleaning.

    There are still tetras in there you can see a few of them at the background. It’s amazing that they lived this long.

    A good ratio of fish to plants. Lighting is timed right, like you said. And the fact that you don't mess around with it or add chemicals. It all adds up to a beautiful balanced tank. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi. You can tie a stick to the hose, you will get higher reach and more controle over it. Thanks for your great work.

    😂 it's a bit ominous on how they're watching you from the grass while you're doing the glass. Watchful even when spooked. Seeing the grass move almost gave me goosebumps 😂

    I love this piranha tank so much. If this video was 2 hours long I’d watch it at least 2 times. I got my first aquarium back in 1985 and I got one piranha in a 55 gallon tank. Mainly because at the time the place I got my piranha said you couldn’t keep more than one without them fighting and killing each other. (No internet then to check facts)
    Anyway, I took great care of him and only used an under gravel filter along with a HOB filter. Did bi weekly water changes of about 20% using buckets. 🤣
    Had that fish for over 4 years until I made a huge mistake when we moved. I won’t get into that but all I will say make sure the water quailty is good when you transfer your fish, no matter how healthy and sure you are nothing will happen.
    Currently I have 4 reds the same size Joey has. About 6 to 7”. I couldn’t have a larger tank or trust me I would have. No one shares my interest in piranha here so that’s another bummer. They expect more from them I assume. I think you should build even a larger tank for them and maybe add 10 to 20 more. 😂 Thanks for posting these Joey. And congrats on your recent marraige. She’s both beautiful and smart.🙏🏼✌🏼😊

    I can't remember if I read it, or watched it, but it was about having one boss piranha in the school- it's the leader until another gets into boss territory and challenges or the boss dies or is injured/weakened, do you find you have a boss fish? That one alpha ruling the school? It's a beautiful tank, I love it and they look so healthy and just like the scenes you see on nature documentaries about piranha, so you're definitely winning there. 🎉

    I would like to recommend getting a 2 foot length of pvc pipe that is just a little larger than your clear flexible tube. slide the tube through the pipe until there is about a foot sticking out the end, the ridged handle will keep your hand safe and the exposed clear flexible tube will be gentle on the plants and you can see what is being sucked up.

    You could put a wave maker on the top at the back of the aquarium. Would give the short plants flow but not change the main flow the fish like.

    Not only the one with the bite on the back, but a few of the fish have their dorsal fins bitten. You can notice them cause they are angled funny.

    You should add some red or purple plants to the back and center it would add more color to it and depth.

  • @manslayerdbzgt
    @manslayerdbzgt 7 місяців тому

    Plants are probably doing so good because all the fertilizer you give them from the food that the piranhas eat they're so messy and that stuff just goes everywhere and it's probably breaks down as good fertilizer for the plants

    You're right about the flow for the plant growth to the one side of the tank - just switch the flow to the other side, an watch it even out - also it will give the piranha a different way, so they might like the change of flow ..... win/win.
    I'm definitely jelly!

    That is an amazing school of Reds. I think you're exaggerating the danger a bit though lol. I kept 6 of them in a 120g for years, I would shoo them out of the corners with my bare hand to gravel vac. If you want to see a good show toss a big whole Tilapia or Catfish fillet in there and watch the frenzy.
