    The week 4 teaser 😫!! Oh well, the journey’s the best part, right?
    I love the textures in this scape - wood, stone, plants, botanicals! Amazing!
    Keep up the great work!

    Blackwater tanks are some of my favorites to aquascape and observe overtime. I definitely recommend a school of lampeye rasbora or cardinal tetras

    • @IMaqua

      Thanks Toby. Stocking will be decided on what is available at the moment. I am planning to do more blackwater aquariums in the future .

      Hvala Vladimire. Will be even better with time and especially when I add fish.

    I love blackwater aquariums and you have created a beautiful one. I know how long this takes to film and edit, great work and your efforts paid off. Will you be doing species from south america, africa, or asia for this blackwater? I could see any of the three working out well. Looking forward to seeing this tank mature, take care.

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  2 роки тому

      Thanks Phil. The stocking will be decided by what is available to me at the moment. But definitely a small school of tetras or something similar, maybe an apistogramma, some type of gourami and some corydoras on the bottom. As I said all depends on the availability of the fish.

    Hey if your open to suggestions, I think you should add small African fish to this tank and make it an African biotope.
    If you need species names I gladly tell

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  2 роки тому

      As I mentioned in a previous comment I will probably go with some dwarf cichlid, appistograma, corydoras and school of tetras or something. Its the easiest fish to get and I don't need to wait for months. But tell me what you had in mind, future will bring many more tanks and I need some stocking ideas.

    • @The_Sovereign_of_Dawn
      @The_Sovereign_of_Dawn 2 роки тому +1

      Well maybe next time
      Barbus fasciatus ( African based barb)
      Pareutropis buffei ( African three-stripe catfish)
      Phractura lindica ( African lizard whiptail catfish)
      Ladigesia roloffi (Jellybean tetra)
      And lastly my favorite fish
      Microsyndontis batsii (Dwarf syndontis)

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  2 роки тому

      Some of the fish I know, some I dont. But just by looking at the names I would wait months to get them. They will all go on my shortlist for future builds.
