Definitely have not had a population explosion as everyone wants of. I clean my tank 2ce weekly and it works out just fine

    What’s your take on supposedly only using a sand substrate. Especially for Pygmy’s etc. looks like you’re having success with a smooth gravel? Do they still do their natural behaviours with it and sift it around?

    Yeah I had a snail problem, but after I purchased a cichlid that problem was no more but I had to get rid of him due to him getting to big for my tank . Now I’m looking to have a nice 55 gallon with different types of fish .

    I have been encouraging the bladder snails that came with my live plants. My dwarf gourami and small squad of glowlight tetras seem to pick the newest hatch off the glass though, and bladder snails need to get air. I know I have several still, but I hardly see them. Also, the fish hardly leave any food to get to the substrate. It's an interesting issue where I might have to actually add snails.

      So with the rubber lip pleco I beg to differ. The smaller pleco that works very well in any tank and planted one being preferred is a the dwarf clown pleco. I have kept BN pleco's in 10gallons before. In fact my max sized one is about 4inches. Not sure if they come in 2 different sizes one being standard and the other being dwarf. My rubber lip is close to 5inches. I bought full grown. It has cleaned up my tank😍

    I love my pond snails. When they first got in my tank they boomed but I just kept scooping them out and fed less and the population is down to a small number now... plus the cherry shrimp and guppy fry are a little faster to find stray food than the snails so that probably helps... but I intentionally moved them into my other 3 tanks after I saw how easy it was to just naturally manage population just because it makes maintenance a little easier for me. If you only have one tank I could see being passed about them, but once you have a couple and are putting in hours for maintenance... if they can coexist with the fish I Don't see why you would not want them in to help

    Rubber lip plecos can get up to 7 inches and bristle nose plecos can get up to 6 inches. I’m not sure if your pleco is some variety or was specifically breed to be small(ie breeding smaller plecos with each other until they reach a smaller size)

    • @SteenfottAquatics
      @SteenfottAquatics  2 роки тому

      That is completely false. Rubberlips dont get anywhere near 7 inches. Need to look at reputable fish sites. Not that trash that comes up on google search. www.seriouslyfish.com/species/chaetostoma-cf-thomsoni/

      Completely false, and this is the problem with getting information of off random websites. In the wild they can reach up to 5 inches. But fish in captivity rarely reach the same size as their wild counterparts.

    Are you sure?? It says “A fully grown rubber lip pleco needs to be in a fish tank that is a minimum of 25 to 30 gallons.” And it can grow to 5-7 inches once fully grown since they live to 10+ years
