    Do you put a lid on your aquarium? Some aquariums require lids and some don’t. For my planted aquariums, I’d like to have the lid on at nights or after the lights turn off 😊

    • @snapverse
      @snapverse 4 года назад +1

      Ryo Watanabe Yes, esp. within dwarf gouramis (in my case) - they try to jump all the time. Lids help. When are you replacing the black tubing for transparent ones?

    • @snapverse
      @snapverse 4 года назад

      Ryo Watanabe Have you considered making a hole in the lid where you place a plant, hydroponic-style? Grow some strawberries or something. It could be fun.

      Ryo, I'm going to play the devils advocate and ask a somewhat obvious question from my point of view, so don't get upset. It's just a question.
      Why don't you just cut off that driftwood at the water level?

    Smart idea for the lid. I love the sliding screen part! I use glass lids because I have Betta Fish. I like the glass lids that open up in the front or back. Nice to access the tank without taking the whole lid off.

    • @RyoWatanabee

      Dios te bendiga y Dios bendiga a Todos los que estan leyendo esto! Deseo que tengan un hermoso dia! Buscad a Dios mientras pueda ser hallado! Jesus es el camino y el unico camino y regresa pronto! Recuerda cuando te sientas que no eres amado... el mayor sacrificio se hizo por amor! EL SUICIDIO NUNCA ES LA RESPUESTA!
      Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna.
      S. Juan 3:16 RVR1960
      La paga del pecado es muerte (infierno) pero Cristo pagó nuestra deuda en la cruz para nuestra salvacion! Debemos volvernos a Dios y apartarnos de nuestros caminos pecaminosos, confesar que Jesús es el Señor y creer con nuestro corazón que fue resucitado de entre los muertos por Dios, y debemos de ser bautizados en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo y vivir por Su palabra y mandamientos! Confia que Dios ayudara con el resto!
      Busca a Dios, antes de que sea muy tarde! Hoy podria ser tu ultimo dia en la tierra!
      Que tengas un hermoso dia!

    Loving this tank, Ryo! I really enjoy how you relish every detail in everything that you do. Such a pleasure! I just bought some clear clips so I can put a lid on my rimless tank. I'm just waiting for the sheet of Lexan to arrive. I cover one of my goldfish tanks, but not the larger one because the boys in the big tank are huge and cannot jump out. The Lexan for the rimless tank is my blackwater tank, which I love so much. Have a great day today!

  • @cameronadams1125
    @cameronadams1125 4 года назад +9

    They likely won’t colour up in that tank because it’s very light, with minimal plant cover. A fully planted tank or one with a dark substrate/background will make them colour up way more

    I've been using a cut dry erase bristle board on my tank for 3 months now. I didn't thinking ahead and figured the whiteboard would be fine for the moisture. It totally is... but now it's warping downwards LOLL. Thank you, this will save me in some time and in bristleboard

      @watermelonraccoon636 I believe some random clear plastic material, but you could also use acrylic. Acrylic is very hard to cut though. I used to cut glass for frames at Michaels, and the acrylic on the cutter needed it's own stronger blade and more man power

    Your tank in the future fish room inspired me! Now I’ve decided I’ll use my spare tank to stock and grow the plants I like. I’m sure your rasbora will be brighter in the future, it took me a while to see my ember tetra finally looking orange enough.
    By the way, I’ve seen my honey gourami spitting water out of the surface during feeding time (he is so impatient 😆) it’s so adorable! Yours is still young maybe you’ll see that one day.

    I have chilli rasbora, they don't light up unless in a comfortable dark environment. They are very skittish fish and need plenty of plant cover to feel safe , dark substrates and almond leaves would work a treat too. Bear in mind PH levels should ideally be low

    The plants in your tank are really looking nice! I have actually started using a similar material for all of my tank lids. Cheap, easy to work with and looks great! I wonder if the reason your fish aren't coloring up is because possible the substrate color is too light or possibly the lack of plant cover is stressing them. Just a couple of thoughts. Great video! I look forward to an update video on the planted tank you did for the aquarium store.
