The 125 is my favourite tank you have, it just has such cool fish and looks so good. I’m gonna be setting up a Lake Tanganyika community in my new 65 gallon and I hope it will look as good as yours.
If the fish are happy, and you are happy, cool. If the sad tank in the corner doesn't bring you Joy, pass it on to someone who will enjoy having it. Only keep in your life, what makes your life better. Take care, be well
Understocking is such a valuable tool to make the tanks easier to maintain. Lowering the bioload and having extra filtration is one of my key methods for keeping things stable.
Your 60 gallon looks perfect to me! And entertaining with your puffers and cory cats. I'm interested in what you'll do with that back corner tank. Since you're going to keep it, I know whatever you do will be phenomenal. These things take time. Looking forward to Cory's visit to your place, as well. Best regards always! x
Hello and thanks for your perspective on how less can be more in this hobby! I was wondering if there were sponge filters on your puffer tank. The water is clear but I didn’t see a lot of water movement.
I totally understand as far as making things easier and taking down a few tanks. I started out with 23 tanks and now down to 10 tanks. It does get overwhelming sometimes. I had tanks in everyroom, everywhere I spent time, there was a tank. Now mainly there are 5 in the living room and three in the bedroom with axolotls. Yeah, I got a tank like that, not real enthoused about it but hubby doesn't want me to take it down for all the money we spent on setting it up. I may keep the larger tank 125 and the turtles there are three of those. I don't really know yet myself. We'll see.
Cyps would still be a great addition. The shellies will still swim up to feed and, as the cyps breed, it may set off more breeding in the others. The only risk would be the calvus taking all the cyp fry.
Hi Taz.. there has been a study recently and in the UK we have found that beak trimming can be reduced by live feeding mealworms and keeping Amazon Puffers in a tank with sand substrate. Does this help or have you heard different..
Putting Calvus in with shell dwellers, is that a long term thing? I wanted to do that, but then became concerned that the calvus would eat the Shellies. Everyone says you should avoid keeping calvus with anything that could fit into its mouth, but no-one says what size that is! So, back to the Shellies (and other fish)...what size would they need to be in order to not end up on the menu for a full grown calvus? cheers.
Zenzo how do I go about splitting my multi colony? They have outgrow their 40 breeder. Should I pick a certain area where it appears to be a family and move the family to the new tank?
Hi. I have a DWARF cichlid aquarium. It recently occurred to me that there are a lot of SMALL Cichlids that are NOT dwarf (particularly Lake Tanjanyikan fish), I'm well aware there are plenty of large fish from thst area. What would you say is the DIFFERENCE between a SMALL Cichlid & a DWARF Chichlid? They can be the same size yet some are not classed as dwarf.
Odd question here, but how did you go about hanging those circular fans to the ceiling? Did you rig them up there? Or is it an option with that particular fan. XD thanks.!
The poor end of the room tank. Stand it up on end, and make it into paludarium! #SerpaDesign lol Love your tanks, and am very jealous of your mudskippers They are so cool!
Nice mini tour of the fish room! Looking forward to what you and Cory will cook up when he returns.

One of my favorite things about your videos is you show tanks after they have been set and running for a bit. This helps me so much.

Hi from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦
You have the Dream Aquarium Room. ❤️
Thank you for the update. Glad to see that you are well.
Thanks for the update !!
Cool little update thanks for sharing 💗✌️👍💯
Love this, Zenzo! Keeping it real!🥰

Thanks For Sharing ✌
Great video!
Your Myrnae look amazing! Such an underrated cichlid in the hobby.
That tank looks like a shrimp tank! The corner one.
Would it fit where the shelving is and the shelving fit where the tank is?
Agree. That tank is so ready to rock shrimp. Especially Sulawesi. Would be what I would do if it was my party there.

Setting up a 75 gallon tanganyikan community soon. Gonna get a lot of Seiryu stone for the hardscape I’m pumped
What happens if u let a brackish tank go fresh all the way. I only been topping off with fresh water since setting one up?

I have 10 tropheus duboisi maswa in my 75 gallon. Do you have any suggestions for dither fish?
I'm envy of your fish room. Wish I have the space to do a fish room.

what are those black and white cichlid called
Shell Dwellers do two things well and constantly, dig and rearrange the substrate and breed. A tank with a few fish will become crowded in time.
Enzo, if you want to get rid of some of your bigger tanks brother, I’m in the East bay and will buy it from you lol
What type of julidochromis transcriptus are those? They are beautiful.
Tanzania. Thanks, I love them!
Any websites you can recommend for tang cichlids?
I'd like to see a more indepth soulosi tank sorry for the spelling but the blue and yellow fish. Thanks for sharing 💗✌️👍💯

When ever I do that, I just take a bunch of shells from one area as well as the adults that I can catch. They'll figure it out! LOL
I love that 125!
Do you sell shell dwellers? I would be interested.
I love sterbai, but in my pretty heavily planted tank, I don't see them much. Mine are pretty skittish

They have mounting holes on the back, so I put some screws in the ceiling and slid them on.

Stand it up on end, and make it into paludarium!
