    What a great gift Adrian! He will totally remember this aquarium for the rest of his life! And a great gift to the hobby by bringing another hobbyist into it! The young people are the future of everything, including our hobby. They’re so important. And your expertise and advise is possibly the most valuable thing he got!

    Lovely little tank for juan he’s so happy & excited… I’m doing the same for a 10yr old to show him how to keep his fish healthy & happy with lots & lots of plants his mother stopped him having fish because they always died that’s the problem with plastic fantastic tanks they kill your fish they need nature it’s the easy way Happy fish keeping juan 😊❤

I lot of fish would have been so much more happy. Looking back, I’m still amazed I managed to keep both tropical and local fish (mostly cold water here in Romania), even if only for a couple weeks, alive in a bare bottom, filterless aquarium, with no water changes, while they where fed mostly bread and the ocazional worm/bug that happened to cross paths with me.

    Fantastic video. It was really great to see both yours and Juan's enthusiasm over the process and the tank. The tank looked fantastic so well done on the build 👏
    Can I ask why you leave the water for a week after adding the dechlorinator? What would be the difference between dechlorinated water that's minutes old versus dechlorinated water that's a week old?

    • @AdriansFishroom
      @AdriansFishroom  7 місяців тому +2

      That’s a great question.
      The reason, I like to leave the water to age for the week in natural sunlight, as it allows time for all of the chemicals, both the chlorine and the de chlorinator to de gas and escape and break down naturally in the sun before adding it to the tank inside. The week will also allow for the water to start to age and grow bacteria and be alive when it goes into the tank as opposed to sterilized and dead from the tap
      Hope that makes sense and thanks for your support 🙏❤️🇦🇺🐶🦘

    Adrian, I need to get you to help me with a mission!
    Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to help spread good info based on fact.
    The fish is called a Betta (Bet-Tah) not a Beta (Bay-Tuh).
    Here is a quick google explanation...
    *English-speakers often pronounce betta as "bay-tuh", after the second letter in the Greek alphabet. However, it is believed the name is derived from the Malay word ikan betta, with ikan meaning "fish" and bettah referring to an ancient warrior tribe, which is pronounced "bet-tah"*
    If you can help spread this, it would be a great way to bring some light to the subject of how opinions can sometimes be conflated into "facts". Although just a trivial topic in relation to these fish, there are many of these misconceptions related to the hobby.
