    The tank is really beautiful, I liked it. Just 2 suggestions: 1) Endler's livebearers would probably look a little better among all that vegetation than the rice fish, just my opinion. I personally kept a paradise fish with some white clowd mountain minnows in a similar, but larger tank. 2) The rocks look great, but they probably take away the valuable water space from the fish. With less rocks you could probably add a few more colourful fish.

    • @GT--BTS
      @GT--BTS 2 роки тому +5

      The endler will eat the baby shrimp though. Maybe the rice fish would as well, but he mentioned them being taken out when they get bigger.
      I have a nano aquarium in a fish bowl, like in the video. Without filters/heaters and such. I only have Red Sakura shrimp. No snails, no fish. I do a 10% water change two times a week. Then I take out the dirty water from the bottom in between the stones and fill up with tap water. I don't have substrate, only stones on the bottom. And java mos on drift wood, and a lava stone with an anubias inside. They are doing great and are breeding like mad.

    • @Aqua-eg7nb
      @Aqua-eg7nb 2 роки тому +2

      I had the same experience. I haven't re-scaped mine as in the end i liked it but i think to get that effect you have to do a really exaggerated slope going much higher at the back than you think, plus he also has the height of the stones. Another factor is if you have a larger bowl which mine is (45 cm diameter) i suspect the flattening effect is more (and possibly the magnifying effect once the water is in is less than in a smaller bowl?).

    Nicely chosen music. Engaging and moody without being distracting… As to the aquarium construction and scaping, I'm troubled most by the bowl itself; in all the shots, from the opening frames when it is set down empty on the table and onwards, it seems made made of awfully thin glass. For both aesthetics and safety I would have liked a more robust, thicker bowl.

      Сколько смотрела видео с запуском круглого аквариума, почти везде говорят о ежедневной подмене воды на протяжении примерно двух недель. При этом желательно проверять уровень нитритов и аммиака. Думаю, это связано с отсутствием фильтра в круглом аквариуме.

      You ofcourse need to feed the inhabitants as normal, since it’s such a small amount of water, you need to be careful to not let the water chemistry change too often, so it’s actually high maintenance, you have to do a water change more often, and make sure the temp isn’t fluctuating or your shrimp won’t survive

    Does anyone know of a good supplier for the livestock - preferably just snails and maybe a few shrimp to start with - and plants in Ireland. Kildare/Dublin area preferably. Would prefer not to order online via the post at present due to delays caused by pandemic + Christmas season starting. An aquarium in either a fishbowl or pickle jar with some snails and maybe a shrimp or two would be the ideal size for my small living area and are as enjoyable to sit and watch as fish are. Possibly more so with the added plants. Thanks to anyone who can help,

      @Chris local pet shop only deal in supplies, don't even sell plants. There is a decent one further up in Dublin but while they sell rectangular aquariums they don't have large bowls, they sell plastic plants not real ones and only have tropical fish. There is a garden centre this side of Dublin which sell pond plants and the like but again, no small cold water fish, apparently I'm unlikely to get any here in Ireland because the customers want tropical fish indoors and Koi or similar outdoors.

      @@MrStevie15 No. Might be able to get some plants from Newlands Cross Garden Centre because they deal with ponds and sell pond plants but apparently not small fish. Having a problem finding a large round bowl as well, rectangular aquariums are easy but speaking to people who specialise in small fish for themselves they seem to prefer a round bowl that they can swim round and round in rather than a box where they hit the end and have to turn around. I have a large ceramic plant pot, no hole in the base, which I have been using to grow indoor plants (no hole = no water leaking) and have spoken to a lad in Singapore who tells me that they use these sort of containers all the time in Japan for fish, usually rice fish/mendaka, and it should be fine when planted up. So I'm probably going to go with that for the moment at least and just hope I can find some small cold water fish. Any suggestions as to a good type, the living area can get down to around 5degC if it's really cold out (we'd rather put on a jumper rather than turn up the heating) which rice fish have no problems with but I'm not so sure about other breeds. I don't want tropical and I don't really want a goldfish - had them before and I like them but I need to ensure the container is really well planted up to cope with all the waste they produce, not sure I can do that because I can't find half the plants I used to keep in their ''tank'' before (20 years ago now). To me it's an indoor water garden with fish, the fish feed the plants and the plants keep the fish healthy and mean I don't need filters or anything like that.

    Other than Japanese rice fish (I can’t find) which other fish do you recommend for a 4 gallon bowl. I already have a heater and sponge filter.
