Knifefish are just so interesting to me and, without a doubt, my favorite. Their elusive and bizarre behaviors are unmatched, in my opinion. What’s your favorite fish and why? I hope you all enjoyed the saga of this tank. It’s been an awesome experience and I’m excited to see how it establishes. I hope you all enjoy the video and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
For me, every kind of fish is my favorite, but my most favorite one is Betta fish, yea I know its very common, but Betta fish is my first ever fish in my entire life. I still remember the time when my Dad bought me a Betta fish, I loved her so much, but sadly she died due to old age, I'll always remembers you my loved one😁❤
Definitely angelfish although they can be aggressive I found if you raise them with smaller fish like rummy or they don’t eat them and with enough cover and space
I love reed fish! They are so cute and have really fun personalities! Mine were super excited for feeding time and were always out and about! Very sneaky jumpers though 😂
When I bought my first Ancistrus breeding pair, the male didn’t want to leave a crevice in large piece of wood and so the guy I got them from took a pair of pliers and took the wood apart so he could get the pleco out. It would have fit into the bucket I brought and I even offered to pay him extra for the piece of wood, but he said that we won’t submit to a fish. That was a weird experience, especially since I was 15 and he was a random 70-year old man I had just met, but I still have the fish and they have produced a ton of offspring over the years. And over time I even became friends with the breeder. He was a choleric and a chainsmoker, but he also was one of the best fish breeders I ever met. The guy casually bred fish that most people considered to be near impossible to breed intentionally. He once said that you just have to think like a fish and then everything will come naturally to you. Rip Karl, you truly did think like a fish.
Thank you for being honest and open about fish sometimes getting sick or end up passing away. I tend to feel like a "bad fishkeeper" when things like that happens and I've thought about quitting the hobby multiple times because of this. But loss is apart of life even when it hurts. And maybe it's okay that it's a part of this hobby too sometimes.
I kept 2 knife fish a few years ago. My first was a Black Ghost Knife and he was great. Had him for 3 years before unfortunately he was mauled by a green Texas cichlid pair that decided to breed in his cave. The other was a clown knife which although I knew I’d need a tank upgrade from my 120g at some point I had to have him, he was about 5 inches when I got him living in a tiny tank at my lfs. He was offered to me for £5 because no one had showed any interest in him the 7 months he was at the store. I had him 18 months before having to re home him due to my grandad becoming ill (the tank was at my grandparents). In the time he had grown to just under 2 feet long. He ran the tank completely and would come up to me every time I was near the tank begging for food. He went back to the lfs he came from and when he sold he was nearly 27 inches. The best fish I’ve ever kept and if I had the chance to get one again I’d jump at it. Knife fish are amazing
We kept our lace catfish in a tank with anubias, java fern and moss that was attached to driftwood. Anything planted in the substrate was pulled up, like the crypts and swords.
@@sarahwatts7152 Some people keep anything as a pet lol I have roach colonies, Florida Skunk Roaches, Green Banana Roaches, Lobster Roaches, and Dubia Roaches, then some Isopod amd Springtail Colonies, some globular as well from my front yard, my 3 leopard geckos, then the fish and cat
@@sarahwatts7152 some people will keep anything as a pet lol I know a guy who found a worm snake and dug up a fire amt nest and queen just to feed it lol
Put the Driftwood in the bathtub and watch closely. The Bristlenose will come out to breathe and you got him. Frankly, I just toss the wood on the floor or in a bucket (if it fits) and the fish comes out on its own. Nice to see the fish back in a happy place, for both them and you. 🙂
I had a knifefish and absolutely loved him, too. Hardly ever saw him but he seemed happy! Unfortunately that tank sprung a leak while we weren’t there and drained leaving the fish nothing and they all passed away. Was pretty upset.
My dad's favorite freshwater fish that he used to keep was a black knife fish as well❤rest in peace dad, you and I shared a passion for Aquatics and you taught me so much
These are the same hardships we fish keepers endure all the time whenever it's moving day. Not only fish, but many of the animals we also keep. That is a very valuable lesson for me. Especially that I have to move out to another house again for the last time.
My favorite hands down are any of the freshwater "eels" like peacock eels, zigzag eels, tiretrack eels, basically all of the spiny eels.... How could you not love a living worm on a string fish hahaha. I've been reading a lot of scientific research papers lately on breeding them in aquariums and it definitely has me dreaming of my very own jungle to breed them so we don't need to rely on unsustainable wild collection for these absolutely amazing fishes anymore.
Hi Tanner! I just wanted to say thank you for the video every weekend! I've been watching your channel for about four years and got to love it, the animals and the community! Your videos helped me to keep strong in difficult times and I really appreciate that. I have just created a youtube account so I'm now able to finally able to like all of your videos. You have got me started in the aquarium and terrarium hobby with your simple jar terrariums. Now I own two ponds and a few terrariums and managed to start with setting up my first reef tank! I'm looking forward to all of your future videos. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you for the fishumentary, Tanner. Everyone looks happy in their new home. I like Maxwell's ventral ruffly fin. I remember the first time I saw live flounder at a big aquarium, I was fascinated by how they scoot along the sea floor using the continuous ruffly fin on their perimeter. Nature presents such a rich variety of shapes, colors, ways of movement, and other animal and plant features, you will never run out of wonders in your lifetime. Pink slime mold! How strange and amazing!
I'm so glad you got them in a tank again. I did not realize you were having issues with a broken tank and having to keep the fish in the tub. You did very well managing to keep as many as you did in good health. I feel bad for you for the losses. I love the way you take such good care of all of your room mates. Also, I don't know why you stopped but I miss you saying Peace at the end of your videos. I hope you are having a good day and may peace be with you Tanner. Cindy 11:01
Hi Serpa! A few years back you did a carnivorous sundew terrarium. Have you ever considered doing a larger bog terrarium with bog plants native to Pennsylvania and Ohio? It would be really cool to see more carnivorous plants showcased on your channel. Especially, pitcher plants! As a fellow midwestern, I would be delighted to see it!
I've had a black ghost knife for about 3 years and i love the fishy so much he's about 18ish inches now and thriving in my 150 GAL soon to be going into an indoor pond to grow even more
Perhaps in the future you should put a white liner at the bottom of the stock pond. Just white plastic, or white flex seal or something. That way you can see the fish a bit better instead of looking into a black void hoping to spot movement… lol
I used to have some Lace Catfish in a planted tank. Key words “used to”. I had to pull them as they matured. When they were small they were “ok”. They were a little messy as they did uproot some of the smaller, less established plants. But as they grew, they became territorial and yes, they were like bulls in a china shop.
I have a black ghost knifefish in my 125g, has always been and will always be my favorite fish. They are just so cool and personable, so keepers have ever said you can hand feed them.
I had a Laced/Upsidedown catfish in my planted african river tank and they didn't *maliciously* uproot anything but they did bumble through denser plants. I found that only larger anubias (like coffiefolia) on higher rockwork really worked. Taller val species did well(ish) for almost a year but was under constant harassment.
I had a large synodontis eupterus in a fully and densely planted tank years ago and never had any issues with him uprooting anything or even rooting for that matter. He's more of an opportunistic hunter/scavenger than a sifter. I would not be concerned. All of my large tanks always host(ed) my favourite cat , brown spotted hoplo, which is a true sifter, and even he never uprooted anything with all of its chunky 6-7" adult size.
Beautiful! I was going to say, as you were mentioning adding more fish, that it looks like the Cories are already helping you out there! I have Cories too, so I recognized their breeding behaviour!
My last big aquarium was a tall 110 gallon filled about three quarters and housed three red-eared sliders, a huge plecostomous (that grew up with the turtles), cory catfish and speckled cory catfish, and a vast array of mixed guppies. I realized the cory catfish were like the chickens of the community with all the eggs they laid and which the female guppies ate voraciously following the catfish around as they were laying. There were enough eggs to go around though as some did survive to eventually appear cricket sized. That's when the turtles would get interested, but I provided lots of cover for them, so some of them managed to make it to adulthood. It was like National Geographic in my bedroom every day! 😁
@@SerpaDesign highly recommend them. We had one we called wally, even though we were sure he was a she. Wally knew who I was and would come up to the glass and try to interact with me (but couldn't due to the glass). Wally was very observant and would follow us everywhere. We named her Wally because we had to check she was out to make sure she got something to eat at night when we first got her (where's Wally lol). Eventually she learned dinner time and would be out in a flash. Lots of personality in them. Sadly when we upgraded her tank something happened and she went missing. As they are escape artists we suspect the change of tank upset her and she escaped the tank. As we have cats and dogs, well, you can imagine what likely happened. We were gutted as she was our favorite and my little friend. Such a shame. So much personality. You'll love a fire eel I think :)
you know...polarized glasses (with a bright light) might help with the reflection issue. No idea if you'll see this 6 months later, but try it out if you do.
Idk if you will see this but Upside Down and Synadonis? Catfish are the best. They both swim upside down but one gets quite a bit larger than the other
That's a beautiful place for the fish! If I were a fish I would want to live there, but I haven't seen your Animal Room Tour yet so I might just change my mind. Nonetheless I am sure that I would definitely want to live with you. You really care about your fish as individuals, not just as colourful moving things in a box of water that has a glass wall for you to see them swimming around in until they've become floaters from neglect and have to be well, um, you know, fished out. Sorry. So I'm now going to watch your Animal Room video of your basement! I can't wait to see the creature's that you've adopted and made such beautiful places for, in which they can live their ideal and happiest lives. I hope that you are all very happy and well-cared for!!! Wouldn't it be cool to shrink down to about their size and go scuba- ing all around the underwater forests you created and some and play with your fish?! It would be so great to hear a fish's laughter, or a whole school of fish laughing!!! 💜🐠🩵🐠💙🐠💜🐠🩷🐠🧡🐠🤎🐠💛🐠🩷
Being in NJ, where we can't cast-net fish, I have a pretty legit net for landing fish. Just tried to look it up, and The Pond Guy has the closest thing to my personal net!
Have you ever thought of a second channel where you post longer form videos of your builds with some music? You could link back to your builds and we could enjoy the creatures and calming scapes you’ve created. Just a thought. (: SerpaDesignTV
Corys are so fun. Have you tried Kuhli Loaches? Got a few of them recently and they're amazing. So much personality and energy. And cute little faces. Definitely seems like something you'd enjoy if you haven't kept them before.
I had a Black Ghost knife from back when i started as a newb, 8 years later and it being 13 inches long. i have never loved another fish like that one. My 2nd Favorite is the glass cat fish "Kryptopterus vitreolus". Please make a setup that has 50 of them and a ghost knife or 2!
I had slime mold in one of my terrariums! 😳 I was nervous with how fast it was spreading but it was super cool to watch. I ended up leaving the lid cracked and the the dry air stopped the spread and I could clean it up. I could easily see it taking over larger portions of a terry.
@@hooktraining3966 it was definitely interesting. The isopods and springtails didn't seem to be too interested in it either. You could literally stand there and watch it spread, that's how fast it moved 😂 I think what happened was leaf litter up against the glass plus water not evaporating from that spot because I could see the mold on the leaves. Also, I now keep litter off the glass an no more mold!
amazing video, Tanner, it’s incredible to see the fish added back into the tank. Do you think the uprooting would be an issue if the plants are left to establish and root in place for long enough?
Maxwell is definitely happy in his new set up. I’d love to sit and watch these fish all day. Beautiful aquarium and home for all these animals. That slime mold was fascinating! It can think?!?! Crazy! God sure was creative making all these amazing creatures! ❤🙏🏻 Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. It’s very inspiring.
Knifefish are just so interesting to me and, without a doubt, my favorite. Their elusive and bizarre behaviors are unmatched, in my opinion. What’s your favorite fish and why?

Most definitely! One of my dream fish are Hypopygus cf. lepturus they are one of the smallest knife fish and best part they are communal!
For me, every kind of fish is my favorite, but my most favorite one is Betta fish, yea I know its very common, but Betta fish is my first ever fish in my entire life.

I used to own one! They're really cool
It was pretty funny hearing Serpa get frustrated with the jumping fish, considering how calm his voiceovers always are!
I didn't think he could be angry
It is quite frustrating to find your fish dried up and dead on the floor. Happened to me many years ago too.
😢😢😢@@poochiew.9302
That went on for at least a half hour! One can only keep their cool for so long lol
Lmao

Did ever update on this tank?

Thanks for saying this. It helps me a lot, too.
Life can be fragile. Do this for long enough and something will go wrong eventually.
The way a knife fish swims is so graceful…like a ribbon in the wind. Wonderful tank.
Right?! It looks effortless
Whoever named the species nailed it
Which one?
They are ghostly indeed.
@@tucker8364 Brown ghost knife fish
That slime mold footage was fascinating! The fish look great in their new planted tank!

That slime mold can be split for a nice treat for some springtails and isopods!! You can feed it all natural steel cut oats to keep it growing!
Sooo do people keep slime mold as a pet?

I love seeing how much you, your animals and your tanks have grown over the years. Also, that slime mold was so cool to see!
Ooooh, I’m so glad to see some of the fish back in view! Especially Maxwell the third
I could watch a livestream of that tank with that pretty music you picked at the end for hours!

Legend says that pleco is still in the Log, refusing to leave
Surely this one will be passed down the generations
I just love it so much more with the fish!

Tank is looking great and slime molds are so incredibly cool! What a neat surprise that is! :D
its surreal seeing these fishes after so long lmao… kinda makes me realize how long ive been watching…
Man I love this channel. It educates me and all of Mr. Serpa’s tanks are gorgeous works of art.
Now the weekend is even better

watching your newest video every Saturday morning while eating my breakfast has become part of the schedule
Perhaps in the future you should put a white liner at the bottom of the stock pond.
Just white plastic, or white flex seal or something. That way you can see the fish a bit better instead of looking into a black void hoping to spot movement… lol
Overall this is one amazing tank and you were able to reunite with your fishy friends which was amazing
Beautiful tank, i miss having one! Its so relaxing watch a fish tank compared to tv.
Me before watching this video::
That’s a cool fish on the thumbnail
Me after watching this video::
I like those fish

They were a little messy as they did uproot some of the smaller, less established plants. But as they grew, they became territorial and yes, they were like bulls in a china shop.
I think a few upside down catfish would be really cool in your aquarium with all the ledges & driftwood.
I have a black ghost knifefish in my 125g, has always been and will always be my favorite fish. They are just so cool and personable, so keepers have ever said you can hand feed them.
This! I trained my old one from 16 years ago to hand feed and it was awesome!
I have loved knife fish since my first one over 35 yrs ago!!!
Looks absolutely beautiful. That knife fish is absolutely stunning
Wow the tank looks amazing with the fish 😍 I'd love to have an update on this down the line!
Great, just great. Bless you.
Wow. Congratulations on the smooth move for everyone!
Hopefully we can get an update and Maxwell feeding video in the future Absolutely beautiful tank ❤ Great Job 💯
Thanks for making such a beautiful video!
An absolutely wonderful video

Didn't know that slime mold can be intelligent. But it is mesmerizing to wath it move.
The tank is spectacular.
Yeah and supert efficient! Look up the subway train slime mold experiment very very cool stuff
you know...polarized glasses (with a bright light) might help with the reflection issue. No idea if you'll see this 6 months later, but try it out if you do.
Yea my chubby lace catfish did dig up my all my plants 😅 I did try for a while too..
It was great to learn the story of Maxwell. Beautiful tank. 🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐠🐠🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 (Gina)
Idk if you will see this but Upside Down and Synadonis? Catfish are the best. They both swim upside down but one gets quite a bit larger than the other
Thank you
Put a submersible light in the stock tank next time 😊it makes a huge difference in being able to see them and I haven’t noticed any worrysome stress.
Literally one of MAYBE five people i trust with paid promotion products
I don't have a favorite 🐟🐠 yet. But I prefer the live bearers for now, I hope in the future l can get some other ones.👍👍✨✨💖🙏
Maxwell certainly grew up to be such a handsome boy. I guess serpa will have to build a tank around the log for the pleco he doesn’t wanna move out

My lace catfish does great in my planted tank. Heavily planted and he’s only interested in rock caves and catfish food.
Cory catfish are some of my favorites. Love your videos!
Looking forward to the next video. 😊
Being in NJ, where we can't cast-net fish, I have a pretty legit net for landing fish. Just tried to look it up, and The Pond Guy has the closest thing to my personal net!
Very cool man! Looks great. Silly pleco reminds me of my trigger fish who would love to latch on to live rock
little wiggly dude is adorable
My last community tank had pygmy cories and a gourami, they were my favorites in the tank. The gourami was timid so i hand fed him.
I love your tank design 👏
Have you ever thought of a second channel where you post longer form videos of your builds with some music? You could link back to your builds and we could enjoy the creatures and calming scapes you’ve created. Just a thought. (: SerpaDesignTV
Corys are so fun. Have you tried Kuhli Loaches? Got a few of them recently and they're amazing. So much personality and energy. And cute little faces. Definitely seems like something you'd enjoy if you haven't kept them before.
Beautiful fish in an amazing tank. I have a Gymnotus javari myself… one of my favorites!
Amazingly beautiful as usual.
Awesome looking tank!!!
that slime is amazing , i would love to have one one day
but i had a freshwatersponge once :)
New tank looks much better with fish!
I had a Black Ghost knife from back when i started as a newb, 8 years later and it being 13 inches long. i have never loved another fish like that one. My 2nd Favorite is the glass cat fish "Kryptopterus vitreolus". Please make a setup that has 50 of them and a ghost knife or 2!
I had slime mold in one of my terrariums! 😳 I was nervous with how fast it was spreading but it was super cool to watch. I ended up leaving the lid cracked and the the dry air stopped the spread and I could clean it up. I could easily see it taking over larger portions of a terry.
That makes me want to have a terrarium where I let one develop. I have yet to see one but I'm jealous.
@@hooktraining3966 it was definitely interesting. The isopods and springtails didn't seem to be too interested in it either. You could literally stand there and watch it spread, that's how fast it moved 😂 I think what happened was leaf litter up against the glass plus water not evaporating from that spot because I could see the mold on the leaves. Also, I now keep litter off the glass an no more mold!
@@j3rs3yjak3FIU Awesome. I'll give it a try.
Trust me
Waited for this this whole week🎉🎉
I love slime mould ❤
So beautiful

there awsome
Beautiful
A Serpadesign video and a Dr plants video on the SAME DAY!!?? We are getting fed boys!😌😌😌
amazing video, Tanner, it’s incredible to see the fish added back into the tank. Do you think the uprooting would be an issue if the plants are left to establish and root in place for long enough?
Keen as for this one legend
I think it was Tokyo? one japanese city used slime mold to plan one of the most efficient subway systems in the world
Knifefish are my favorites too!
ive had lace catfish in a planted and had no problems, had swords, val and some other deep rooters tho
Beautiful ❤️
Cool build❤
Maxwell is definitely happy in his new set up. I’d love to sit and watch these fish all day. Beautiful aquarium and home for all these animals. That slime mold was fascinating! It can think?!?! Crazy! God sure was creative making all these amazing creatures! ❤🙏🏻 Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. It’s very inspiring.
