    After years of keeping tropicals and planted tanks I’ve come full circle back to the humble common goldfish. So underrated when you know how to keep fish properly. Such an enjoyable fish when kept in the right conditions.

    A heavily planted snail tank is great to stare into if you need to relax (I get anxiety). Super calming, for me. Mystery snails are the best as they still have some movement but are slow and peaceful. Ramshorns seem to sit still a lot. But are cool if you want to learn about how to feed your tank properly. Too much food, too many snails. Not enough food, no snails. I like to see a few baby snails every month or so.

    My friend told me that, "Bettas are water cats. Electric blue acaras are water puppies." Never have I heard such a true statement. LOL!
    Also wanted to add... kuhli loaches are crackheads. They're perfect if you want a high energy oddball fish (as long as you provide them with the right conditions).

    Love your species profiles!
    My absolute favorite type of fish are rainbowfish. I want them in all my aquariums. In my smaller aquariums I put Pseudomugils, in my mid-size aquarium I have praecox, and threadfins and in my new, bigger aquarium I will put some other Melanotaenia. Haven't decide if it's going to be the sahulensis or the nigrans yet.
    I love how the rainbows constantly swims around, without being hysterical like for example some danios (or endlers...). I get stressed out by endlers, but can look at my rainbows for hours. They have personality and are so curious about everything.
    Then I also love gouramis, shrimps and snails. Just got my first gouramis, a group of four sparkling gouramis that I absolutely love. Keep them together with the praecox and threadfins at the moment, but thinking about having an aquarium just for them.
    I've never been interested in big fish, like oscars and those other big cichlids. They feel to clumsy. It seems like I want my fish to be like my dogs (I have sighthounds 😅).

    My favorites right now are rocket killis. I know they're supposed to be super jumpy, and I did lose one to jumping (I think - never have found it), but the rest will swim right up to my hand or a pipette to check out if there's food. They are a bit picky about what they eat, and the male definitely chases others away from the "best spot". The female is often ahead of his games, though, and is really good at grabbing up the food before he sees her. (I put food in several spots but this is the "best" one, apparently.) I love the little shiny dot on their head and seeing it appear in the feeding ring. The way they just kind of hang around and have that pouty kind of mouth that they use to snap up worms and flake food is funny to me, for some reason.

    So I have 4 favs that I will always keep, Cory’s (Venezuelan Red Sail, Venezuelan Black, and the Sterbai are in my current collection), Bettas, Florida Flag Fish, and Plecos (the Bristlenose are independent clowns, but I really like L134 Leopard Frog plecos which mine are very active and about even during the day, but I give them lots of cover). As far as non-fish I adore my Blue Dream Neocaridina shrimp which I have in one of my Betta tanks. Yes, it works. I am sure my Betta picks off a few shrimplets from time to time, but he is a double halfmoon, so he doesn’t move that fast. I wouldn’t put a placat or alien betta with shrimp. I currently have a 40 gallon community tank with my mutt guppies, bristlenose plecos, Sterbai corys and Florida Flag Fish (a great algae eater), a 10 gallon with a group on Venezuelan Red Sail Cory’s and a Halfmoon Betta, a 5 gallon with my Double Halfmoon Betta and Blue Dream Neo shrimp (all residents are bright blue), and a 29 gallon with a group of King Cobra guppies, L134 Leopard Frog plecos, a group of Venezuelan Black Corys and a single Golden Marble Angelfish. I am thinking about adding another maybe 20 gallon tank for my bedroom, but not sure yet what I will put in it. All of my tanks also have Rams Horn snails.

If you want to see a different side of Pea Puffers that will make you so happy, keep at least 10 together in a 30+ gallon heavily planted tank. OMG. The best thing ever. They jam around together. So fun!! I have 20 in QT now getting ready for their 40 gal forever home 🤗

I have dwarf petricolas with my frontosa now and they’re 100% bite size and leave them alone regardless. The only thing I’d think about is the difference in activity level as clowns can be quite active and frontosa tend to just float in 1 spot most the time lol

    My Soulmate Fish is definitely the Frontosa, which go with my more chill and laid back personality. I have had 7 of them for a year and got them when they were small, so they obviously still have plenty of room to grow. When you brought up clown loaches in the video, are these good tank mates with Frontosa? I currently have them with blue dolphins only.

      @garg4531 Месяц назад +1

      Neocardina shrimp should be fairly easy to breed. I’d say the most important things are to make sure you have a mature tank with stable conditions and ideally some algae or biofilm for them to graze on, a nice-sized group so you have a guaranteed mix of males and females, and no tank mates can eat the little shrimplets.
      I hope your new fish/shrimpkeeping hobby goes well! 🤗
