@@bettaaquatiks2604 It wont be this friday, im waiting to hear back from hikari on what I can get first. I will def mention its happening though :) and thank you for the kind words
My pleasure! Ya basically same format haha I just gave a lill more detail than I would have in the dailys since I tried to keep those at or under 5 mins.
I kept them years ago and they made a nice contrast with the serpae tetras which being a tetra, depending on the individual, can be a tad nippy. I find, keeping them in a decent school will keep the nipping amongst themselves and bring about a more natural existence on their part. They are a beautiful fish
I feel like thats the secret trick with tetras, you gotta almost treat them like barbs and mbunas and HAVE MORE than you should need in your tank and they leave eachother alone
Thank you. It actually ended up being Adobe premier. When I would edit the audio for background noise and S's. For what ever reason when it would export the audio got funky. I appreciate you pointing it out. Do me a favor watch one of my newer vids and let me know if it still sounds funny.
Love the species profile on a fish I had never heard of before but is similar to my favorite common tetra, the red minor serpae. Hey, was it just my crappy reception, or was the audio off on this video? It wasn't anything that detracted from the video itself, I'm just curious to know if it's my end or yours. Have a great day! Now, let's get TANK'd!
No It was me, I am not sure why this and a few others do that. Tho I did forget to move the mic back near my mouth for this one for like 80% of it haha. So def my end! but I think ive fixed my audio issues for all future vids!
i have a heavily planted 20 gallon long tank, current plan is 12 harlequin rasboras 3 honey gourami 8 albiono cory and 7 of these black phantom tetras I know its a little bit overstocked but I do have appropriate filtration to deal with it. Any aggression relating to the phantom tetras? Currently the harlequins and HG's are in the tank and no problems so far
There shouldn't be any from the phantoms. I would say just keep an eye on those gourami I have heard they can be a little territorial. But in my experience it w as fine and I had em mixed with a betta. But the tank being heavily planted should help that
Now that I have been in the Hobby for awhile I am slowly branching out in different types of Fishy Friends.Thus far the Only tetras I have is Blood Fins and they are wonderful little Tankmates to my other community fish. Thank you Lefty,this was a wonderful Profile on a fish I had already had an interest in but after watching this : Oinky is Sold! 🐷💭 😎😎😎
They truly are an amazing fish, and one that really surprised me! Once they colored up and got SUPER dark they are GORGOUS! Really do recommend em if you're looking to expand your tetra collection, and the color contrast between them and the blood fins will be amazing :D
I have a driftwood sand slight tannin or black water tank, a bubler , rocks, and Anubias Nana petite , and anubias minima . anything sound not good about that?
Hey i came from your api quick start video and i have a question if i add fish food its creates annomia and then the bacteria from api quick start makes it into nitrite and then the bacteria makes nitrite into nitrate?? all this happens with just annomia and api quick start? please help me understand.
You are correct. So what the API Quick start is, just liquid nitrifying bacteria which takes ammonia and nitrites and converts them into Nitrates. If you dont add the fish food or something that will create ammonia all that Nitrifying bacteria will die and your tank won't cycle. Quick start and products like it are basically designed for people that dont want to wait 6-8 weeks for their tanks to cycles naturally or the old school way. SO you can add quick start then in like 24 - 48 hours add in your fish and the quick start helps keep you from having a huge ammonia and nitrite spike that can kill fish. You can go completely old school with tank cycling and add just fish food to an empty tank and wait a min of 6 weeks and the tank will go through an ammonia spike, then a nitrite spike then nitrates till it levels off. Hope that helps ^_^ if not feel free to follow up :)
So if you're starting a new tank personally I double the dose. If you want to do it fish in just follow the instructions. You can also add it during weekly water changes to ensure your cycle does not crash until you're comfortable your tank is 100% stable.

I have two with a bunch of platties and I found 8 fry and thought they were platties untill they were clearly black skirt tetra fry😍
That's awesome!!!!
I have a driftwood sand slight tannin or black water tank, a bubler , rocks, and Anubias Nana petite , and anubias minima . anything sound not good about that?
Nope! that sounds like a wonderful tank set up :D they should be very happy in that
@@Lefty3213a Thanks so much i subbed
@@Lefty3213a Also along with 3 mystery snail and 2 albino cory’s in a 25 gallon long
Ya that should still be fine :)

@@Lefty3213a Ok thank you how often do i need to add this product to my water?
So if you're starting a new tank personally I double the dose. If you want to do it fish in just follow the instructions. You can also add it during weekly water changes to ensure your cycle does not crash until you're comfortable your tank is 100% stable.
Thank you for the video! May I please ask what is the advised male-female ratio? :)
It's always best to have more females to males I would say 2:1 or 3:1 would be even better.
@@Lefty3213a thank you so much! 😊
@margaritavalcheva you're welcome
Heh! I’ve never seen these before! Or at least not that I’m aware of 😮
They are truly stunning
Bruh my phantoms are aggressive mofos and they Don’t like to swim together they keep to themselves
How many you got abd how big of a tank? Normally in a large enough school tetras are hella peaceful
Had to turn it off because of the crap sound.
Thanks for the comment 😜
Incorrect information
😅 you can't just say that and then not tell me what you feel is wrong.
