    I got a ton of feeder guppies awhile ago and had a ton of mutations, its extremely fun to see what different colors pop up overtime and just being able to create an environment that can bear life is the greatest feeling, and I may get more into fish breeding as a whole bc of it esp w endlers guppies and other livebearers
    My apistogrammas bred recently and Im looking after the fry and I feel an indescribable sense of pride bc of it

    If your water hard, and you top up with tap water can be problematic. The minerals concentrate and the water get superhard :DD
    Anyway, this is a great hobby, I also got my 80 gal tank for free, but even tho I spend a ton of money on it xD Even the substrate is cheapest as possible (dirted) but the sand costed a lil bit too much (about 100 kg) :P

    • @Rollinghillsconservation
      @Rollinghillsconservation Рік тому +6

      If you have the right live plant to fish ratio and your tank is established then you do not need to do water changes ever. Only add water. I have 3 tanks, a 65 with 2 Pearl garami, 2 zebra loach, 2 emerald cory, 2 flower shrimp, and 7 ottos. A 75 with 8 Congo tetra, a gold ram, a spotted gara, three hog chokers and 4 farlewella. And a 25 with 2 peppered cory, a gold mystery snail, a beta, and a ton of cherry shrimp that are always breeding. I haven’t changed my water in any of them for over a year now. Everyone is happy and healthy, I’ve even noticed that the no water change method cuts you way back on needing to feed because organisms the fish eat just start to grow in the tank.

    • @jenpink4298
      @jenpink4298 Рік тому +2

      I don’t understand why the whole water change thing has suddenly become such a big deal. Test your water. If the parameters are off, do a water change. If everything looks good, don’t worry about it for another week or so until you get an idea of how your tank runs on a regular basis.

    • @GinkgoGail88

Because odonate(dragonfly and damsefly) larvae need very clean water to survive, and if they were successful in completing their lifecycle, then water should be clean, I am confused so any ideas?

I separated the adult male and the 5 ember tetra that were in the tank. Hope momma shows back up. There's also one panda cory(yes I know!)this tank has been on the verge of getting torn down as it was set up for Betta, but non survive on it, set up the same as all my other betta tanks so really frustrated with this, as anything else does fine in it.

      15 will be great. Just add an appropriate number. 6 is a good start, a filter, and get some plants grown in or out of your tank. Then when you have 15 fry start looking for places to put them.

      ​@@xxkylexxredhead its hard to tell how far back it is but that doesnt look long enough to be a 29?
