    If you are going to do a like 60 liter or more tank I would recommend silvertip tetras, they school pretty nice in groups of around 12 or more and have nice colors and are very hardy.

    • @ricomon35
      @ricomon35 Рік тому

      Yeah, I thought the same. I think it's a function of the body size and leg structure. Both Spiders and these Mini-Crabs move similarly because of that I think :)

  • @TheBadRaven
    @TheBadRaven Рік тому

    Very good looking tank! Personally I'd have the filter inlet and outlets coming from either end of the rear now obscured glass 90 degrees from the rear face, then make partitions in white from the tank rear back to the wall, hiding the complete filter arrangement from normal sight. Not entirely convinced by the tiny canister as that design, its a good idea, but the top pump is ugly and exposed, so I'd be wary of its noise. Conventional larger canisters have the pump buried within the more substantial water filled body and that aids silence. Security of the pump to the filter body seems a concern given the leverage the water filled plastic piping can exert over time, too.
