      Germany has the same 54l/60cm as a strongly adviced rule and basis for animal abuse rulings as well, its also strongly pushed by the businesses around fish keeping. Allto here its not making it illegal overall to keep fish in smaller tanks, there are plenty of exceptions where a smaller tank doesnt result in animal abuse and therefor wouldnt result in legal consequences if someone tried to argue animal abuse.
      Think of certain nano fish which fit perfectly in a 30-40l ... alltho it wouldnt hurt it would be just silly to force a 54l/60cm tank onto people who want to keep species like the Inostomus paradoxus for example, 3cm max, loving to hide and barely swimming around even for hunting food ... even a dozen would get absolutely lost in 54l tank.

    You probably want some light or atleast a reflector in the new studio... the whole light is on the sides of your face while your actual face is in the shadow.... that usually makes a face look extra round... i do like the new "studio" though, the aquarium is closer and you can actually see the fish.

    QOTW: This was the 90's and you couldn't get away with this today, but me and a friend pulled off what we thought was the greatest joke ever! On a busy rural street, neighbors across the street from each other were trying to outdo each other with signs for a local election. In the middle of the night, we pulled all of the signs, and switched them. We waited until the next morning to see the reaction when they walked out to get their newspaper...priceless!!! Might sound lame, but trust me it was hilarious!!!

    The angle of the couch/wall bothers me for some reason. I think the (perceived) tilt and the lack of mic makes it feel like you're floating in the middle of the room untethered. I think either/both having straight lines behind you, or a mic in front will help anchor you. But that's just me and maybe I just need to get used to it!

    I've got a 55gal on a stand just like that. The guy I got it from had wall straps on it but I wasn't able to attach them in its new location. I considered adding another tank on the bottom for stability and because extra tank but I was concerned about the weight on my diy pallet floor in my cabin. That said it made it through a 6.2 earthquake and the water was moving but not so much as a wobble on the tank and stand so thankfully I think it passed the stability test.

      alsoooo I like the new studio set up too. I'd close the window on your left, which should be an immediate addition of contrast for your background. Your normal lighting is a really good balance of highlights on you and your costars, and adding a bit of darkness behind you again will add depth to the shot.
      Idk what you edit in, but if it's Premiere, using the Balanced Low Tone Voice under Essential Sound always adds polish. Or Clean Up Noisy Dialogue to remove reverb or echo sounds...which I didn't notice, but some of the comments today make it sound like maybe :)
      new set up looks legit though

    Yes FTR. Love the new studio set up and looking forward to the rescape video! This weekend was my aquarium clubs hobby day with a swap sale one day and auction the next. And on the swap day, while it MAY have been a bit impulsive... I got another pair of wild betta! A friend in the club was selling two pairs and I bought one. Originally he had it marked as betta hendra but we found out later he accidentally had sold me persephone which is definitely not problem to me as I love and have wanted both species! So far the couple seem to be doing well and settling in to their 5.5 gallon home. That's the nice thing about some of the wild species is ypu can house a pair in a 5.5 gallon as many of them are far more peaceful then the domestic spelendens and even the wild splendens complex.

    We could see more of your tanks in the old setup to really give the fish crazed youtuber feel, and the white glare from natural sun on your face and the black couch kinda throws me off personally. but i’m loving trying out new set ups, and the big fish tank that is located closer to the camera so we can see it more up close. maybe just tweak the lighting a little bit?
    btw great video cant wait to tune in next week

    No actually discus are very hardy fish, once they settle in the tank TBH...
    I have 4 tanks and one of them have 7 discus. In the beginning i had to take very good care of the tank, very little light, good hiding spot, every day checking the water parameters. But now I only do weekly water changes, and feed the tank, nothing else.
    Even after big plant trimming session, the fish are only, only when i use the glass magnet scrubber they get spooked, but right faster that when i feed they jump to the food.

    Already spitting some facts within the first two minutes of the video. One time I accidentally overdosed accu-clear into my guppy tank. Like, ten times overdosed. Before I realized what had happened, I noticed that all my guppies were up at the surface gasping for air. I was able to throw in an airstone and save them. They were all acting fine by the time I figured out the mistake I had made, which was like, an hour tops. Then I was able to just water change it out of the system and they were fine after that. But having that airstone system just, READY to go. In thirty seconds I was able to install a solution that bought them time for me to make a proper change and diagnose the root of the problem. Seriously. While not a strict necessity, having an air pump, stones, and tubing is like a $35 investment that will last you basically forever, and is worth it to have on hand for saving lives if the need arises. And a little extra aeration never hurts anyway, so if you've got the outlets, there isn't a real reason NOT to have a little bit extra unless your water is already like, a hill stream biotope with crazy turbulence.

    Right of the bat, I Like the new scape, the mic from the old setup was a little too artificial for my taste. This new hidden mic allows for a much more natural aesthetic. Not sure about the hardscape, the RUclips flex should not look like it's dangerously resting on the couch, hanging them a few inches higher would add a layer of dimension to the overall scape. Your lighting is superb, clean camera glass, Overall 4.45/5 keep it up

    Neocaridina really thrive in tanks you never woud them expect to do well ... I have a redeye pufferfish tank and these guys munch masses of snails and dwarf crayfish of all sizes, but still go after artemia and water fleas as well ... yet somehow the neocaridina I selected out of my breedertanks are ignored and now have build a large, colorful population in the pufferfish tank which of itself started to breed and multiply successfully. Just strange to see the puffer hunt down every single crayfish like addicts but cruising in calm over dozens of shrimp grasing like sheep.
    I start to suspect Neocaridina either taste really bad or they somehow hypnotize other species, in my dwarf crayfish tank they also ride crayfish like horses.
