  • ▼ LOTS OF INFO ▼ I never thought I would keep anything other than goldfish, but while my goldfish aren't going anywhere, I think there's room in my fish keeping hobby for other types of fish too! This week, join me as I get my brand new 90 gallon aquarium ready for my new mystery fish by setting up the hardscape and all the equipment. Then, tune back in next Friday for the big reveal to see what type of fish is going in this tank! Can you guess???

      Sounds like sick lids? lol... Honestly, before you even spoke of getting another type of fish I've always imagined you with these fish since they're colorful, interestingly territorial and as close to a marine tank as one can get without the extra hassles. TOO CUTE the way you say, Mmp, mmm, not gunna happen at 14:26 about telling which fish you have in the next room : D

      I was thinking the same thing. Cichlids would love that setup. Only thing I would be worried about with cichlids the hood. I've had oscars which can easily push up on the glass when they get older.

  • @StevoHoppa

    I think it's discus. Driftwood in the tank will create soft water which discus thrive in. I'd like to see her get African Cichlids eventually, but this tank is not setup for AC's. They need hard water.
    Lookin good Jenny!

    Never been real interested in goldfish(always been a cichlid guy). But I do love your channel. Your tanks are very clean and fish look well taken care of. I can always appreciate that no matter what kind of fish are kept. I'm guessing cichlids for the new tank. Everyone always catches the cichlid bug eventually lol.
    As far as the aquatop... ive had it before like you said its no fluval or eheim but it will get the job done as long as you don't overdo the stocklist.

    You could've used carbon for the 1st month to absorb the tannins

  • @taljart
    @taljart 7 років тому +2

    Also I remember in one of your old videos when you showed us your fish and you were talking about how most of your fish are males. I recently learned that it's because more males come in a spawn of the temperature is higher, and most breeders keep their temperatures higher because they hatch faster . Because of this, there are more males and when there are females since they're more rare, the breeders keep them to breed more. :-)

  • @dollyremo1

  • @kaehume4742
    @kaehume4742 7 років тому

    i think carbon is good for when you initially set up an aquarium just to help get the water quality under control but after a couple weeks you really don't need it-i'm also a little impatient and like to use carbon to clear up the water and get the cycle started faster haha, definitely not necessary for people who have more patience than me!

      I wasn't talking about anything to do with romance or the two even meeting but alrighty then.

I have no idea why you're talking about them being together or how you interpreted my comment that way.

      What kind of wood? Manzanita seems best as it releasing minimal tannins. Try boiling it for several hours. If it's to big, boil one end at a time. A good week long soak in a bathtub helps too. Cheers!

  • @Lifewithpets72

    @mr.reflxn 7 років тому

    You could put some very low light and mainatinence plants like anubias and java ferns. They also are very tough so they cannot be eaten by even cichlids. Also jungal Valisneria might be good for adding more green. I successfully keep java ferns with no fertilizer, but fertilizer would make them more sightly.

  • @lisafoster4468
    @lisafoster4468 7 років тому

    Take out the wood and soak it in hot water. It'll remove the tannins faster. Also, you'll have to dump and refill what you're soaking the wood in several times during the process.

  • @BeyABear
    @BeyABear 7 років тому +2

    Hey Jenny, just wondering what filter medias you use on your aqua clear HOB filters for your goldfish? You mentioned that you think carbons are unnecessary and I kind of agree mostly because of the fact that it needs to be replaced often. What are your recommended substitutes for it? Thank you!

    • @flashofpink
      @flashofpink  7 років тому +3

      In the Aquaclear filters I just use the sponge that comes with it (for mechanical filtration) and ceramic bio-media on top of that. Works like a charm. :)

  • @derekchilli2950
    @derekchilli2950 7 років тому

    I used to share your stance on not using activated carbon in my filters until about 2 weeks ago when I was doing some research for my 150 gallon saltwater tank, though carbon can and will leach toxins back into the water, it should be changed relatively frequently. You already knew all that jazz though but the main reason I flipped my view was the water clarity and polishing effect the carbon has on my tanks. In my South American tank, I would experience a slight yellow tinge when I did my water changes-now I do not and it looks like my fish are floating in my living room. Carbon is a hot topic for debate and I was a nonbeliever but the positives outweighed the negatives in my case as my SA tank looks 10x better with crystal water.

    • @jaredl.4922
      @jaredl.4922 7 років тому

      Adding filter floss of some type will keep your tank crystal clear. I use polyester fiber (quilt batting) in a knee high nylon in my HOB filter. Just make sure it doesn't have fire-retardant added. You just need to replace the poly weekly and you can toss the carbon then. It should be placed after your sponges and before your media in the filter (HOB, sump or canister). It's cheap too...about 5 $ for a few cubic feet. I'm a fresh water guy but it works for saltwater tanks too plus you'll save a ton not buying carbon (saltwater tanks are spendy to maintain as it is)! Cheers

Have your aquatop leaked yet cause im planning on replacing my really old fluval filter. I'm really liking the looks of aquatop especially the space that it provides for filtration! Also, how well does it agitate the surface?
