    You should try a semi-open lid, acrylic on the edges and nylon mesh in the middle. Doesn't hold the heat

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  Рік тому +2

      I was thinking about that. This material I have now is ok and doesn't warp. I had fully acrylic lids that would warp after a few weeks under the LED lights. I will have to think of something. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Sorry to see that your fish jumped out the same thing happened to me aswell 😢do you also have recommendations on fish that that live without heaters and enjoy cooler temperatures

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  Рік тому

      There are really a lot of fish that can live without a heater; endlers, guppies, CPDs, White cloud minnows and all river (Hillstream) species, Scarlet badis...I keep even some species that require heather without it but I do heat my fish room and keep it at 21C minimum during winter.

    im sorry for your loss...
    .
    and I hope you don't mind if I ask you...
    Would it be feasible to adopt 3 baby panda garra into a mature 13 gallon (5 year old) tank, while my new 32 gallon tank cycles?
    And once the 32-gallon one is active for 4-5 months, move the garras from the 13-gallon aquarium to the 32-gallon one?
    -
    I ask this because here where I live, it is very likely that in the next 2 months, the price of the panda garra will increase x2 or x3...
    And instead of having a total of 3 or 5 like I'd like, I could only have 1 or 2 max.
    -
    thanks in advance, really.

      baby panda garra are tiny so you can have as many as you like. Adults get bigger and for 32 gallons you can add 5-6 maximum. You can add only two but they like their own company.

    Java Fern may not need a lot of light to live but rocks need to keep growing moss. Your fish that fails to live is an honorable death because it is side by side with fish that live schooling.
