    Recently I've been really interested in making more natural look / realistic environments for nano fish and this is something I'll be doing more of. It started with the neon tetra tank and now we have the ember tetra tank. What other nano fish would you like to see? I already have something cool planned for the blind cave fish (I never took them back to the shop in the end as I liked them too much :)

  • @TheAtrxcity

    I'd love to create a beautiful tank like yours but I am on a budget. Do you think you can do a video where you try to make a beautiful tank but also affordable?

    • @MDFishTanks
      @MDFishTanks  4 роки тому +21

      All the stuff in this aquarium is very affordable. Apart from the filter, I use all the cheapest equipment I can source on line from Amazon or ebay (check the links in the description or pinned comment). The filter though has a built in heater and pre filter which I think makes it well worth the extra cost to just a normal canister filter.

    • @TheAtrxcity
      @TheAtrxcity 4 роки тому +2

      Do you think a cheap filter with an inline heater could work? I also want to attempt a shallow pond tank like yours, but I want to divide it between aqua soil and pond soil. So I can put some flowering plants in it too. Do you think that's possible or do you not recommend it?

      @jasongrimshaw-smith8369 4 роки тому +1

      You are still looking at £5-7 per pot of tropica. They're great, but can get expensive. I buy invitro from K2aqua on ebay. And there are others sellers too. You have to grow the plants out a bit as they're not quite adult, but I had great success with h.pinitafida, l.sessiflora, anubias, l.cardionalis, s.repens and have some mini super red coming. Its become an addiction.... thx md and g farmer.

    @rickfromthecape3135 4 роки тому +1

    Looks great! I would add about 10 more, and throw about 8 or 9 Cory's of some kind to help them chill out a bit. The reason they're skittish is that you only have one species in there. Schooling is a defensive measure where all of the fish (Embers in this case) act as one to keep all those eyes peeled for danger. So it's almost the same as having just one Ember. Another species acting as a dither fish will help them relax and feel at home.
