  • In this video I added new fish; Chili Rasbora (Boraras brigittae) to the community aquarium and I did this after aquarium was fully cycled. I experienced algae during cycling phase but that problem was solved with big water changes and physical removal. Later on green hair algae appeared all over the aquarium and to combat this it I added three Amano shrimps. There algae fighting machines will destroy the algae in just a few days.

    Awesome stocking choice for this aquarium. I love chili rasboras, I want them someday. The echinodorus looks so good in the back. I have terrible luck with most amazon swords, but I will try again someday. Really liked the relaxed video, very meditative. Thank you for the updates. Take care.

      Thanks Phil. So far I had normal issues with Amazon sword; it is melting emersed leaves. But new leaves are growing and they look amazing. Slowly but surely it is growing.

      They are tiny so yeah I would say go ahead. It will take some time for them to colour up but when they do their chili red colour is amazing.

      Chihiros AIl series, but this is the old version. Recently they have a new model with the same name but that one is more expensive.
