When is the plant series with dean going to start?
Did they get moved?
Yeah I'm keen to see the finished aquarium with the Rummy nose in there? Any link to the vid?
Watching them in their "small" quarantine tanks was hypnotic. It's going to be stellar in the eight! I can't wait. 👍
Back and forth, back and forth... like ocean waves, so cool!
It's insane how those tiny fish make a big tank like his 125g look do small.
Usually It's when you put large fish in large tanks the tanks tend to appear to be smaller than they are.
So It's very interesting to see that it can be the other way around as well!
Agree. Wish I had that much money to buy a large school of fish.
That is a tiny tank for tbat maby fish
It's that second plant.... threw off everything!!! ;)
Gotta make sure there is only one plant in the 800 gallon!
😂
I used to have 12 rummynose and 12 neons in the same tank.
The neons used to follow the schooling of the rummynose. Was so cool to watch.
Neons and rummynose together are so cool man
Best Co-op videos = Cory, with a camera, in the fish room :-)
It seemed like there was a mass infection from an exporter for CPDs a couple months ago. I ordered from a few sources and all similar symptom. A white internal growth but it was virtcal in the body. I ordered again after a couple months and now they seem healthy and stronger. A week and all still alive in QT.
After working at a chain store and understanding shipping is a major plus as a hobbyist now. Im getting back into the hobby after a hiatus and found your videos so wonderful for all fish keepers at any stage. I’ve had tanks since I was 8 so it’s 30 years for me and SO much has changed! I remember starting out with internal filters where you had to mix the carbon and cotton and all that fun jazz.
Absolutely stunning fish! I love how tightly they school, it’s so soothing to watch. Good to know we aren’t the only ones in quarantine :)
So this is why I can't get rummynose tetras locally...
Lol same here
Love your videos. You don’t hide anything and try to help the hobby,thank you.
iv heard the word quarantine so much this year it makes me feel sick just hearing the word lets just call it putting the fish in a safe tank
Really looking forward to seeing this completed!
So excited, I wouldn't mind putting them all together after quarantine because you can put your hand on your heart and say you've done your best for the fish over the course of a few months to try and secure their future.
Looking forward to seeing it!! The New England Aquarium has a smaller rummy nose exhibit where viewers can control what side the flow is coming from in the tank so you can see them school up against the current and there’s cool Val waving around in there too. Plus there’s a timer for the controls so people can’t over work the tetras alone day 😅 Pretty neat little setup though
Hey Cory, I always appreciate your videos for keeping 100% real. Hope you guys never change!
Love the fact you chose a ton of Rummynose for the 800g. Cant wait to see this!
Amazing job cory!!!! Looks beautiful!!!! That schooling is on point👍👍👍👍👍
Looks great Cory! Can’t wait to see it come together.
I love Rummynosed Tetras. They are my favorite tetra. The 800 gallon is looking sweet. I can't wait to see it fully stocked with Rummynoses and Lady Bird.
They're my favorite schooling species besides chili rasboras.
Can't wait to see them all in the 800 gallon! its going to look awesome!
love those fish! tank is looking good already, cant wait to see it grown in.
Cannot wait! I bet this is going to be awesome. Your guppy videos have made me decide I need some guppies. Just placed my first order this morning and it is already packed and ready to go out!
Excited to see this! Love seeing huge schools of tetras
They are schooling so well. Next time I 'll go with rummys for my tank. Thanks for the video. Your videos brought me back to the hobby.
Thanks for sharing the “reality” of the hobby. Nobody is perfect.
What an awesome video. Sharing these kind of challenges and how you work through them really helps us beginners stay in the hobby (and it’s super interesting). Thank you!
The 800 gallon looks great ~ can’t wait to see this tank in the future with all of them in there 🌸😊
So excited to see this completed ❤️
That is going to look amazing in the 800 gallon! Looking forward to seeing that completed. By the way Cory, I have a question for you. Off the top of your head, do you remember what the empty dry weight of the 800 gallon is? Just the bare tank, nothing else. Thank you in advance. Keep doing what your doing. Love the the knowledge and expertise you share.👍
Can't wait to see what the finished tank looks like. I bet it'll be awesome! I really like the scape, should look great when it grows in some more. The long squiggly plant (yup, that's my official name for it) on the left is really cool. Is that the same type as the one in the goldfish tank? 👍🌿😃
Cannot wait to see this! Good luck 👍
You are amazing, bro. Thank you for all that you do.
I also had a bad Cardinal Tetra order recently. Half DOA most others died off in the first few days. It's a tough thing to go through as a newer hobbiest so it's nice to see that we all share similar struggles.
Hi, did you make a video of these in the 800 as I couldn't find it in your videos, very cool set up
I’m super exited for you! I just setup my tank to be planted, cost me 180 dollars in gravel, hopefully it’ll be worth it!
I can’t wait to see Ladybird in there with all those tetras! Cory, I want to thank you again for turning me from a guy who adopted a goldfish to a full on addict. I have a question about tank size and stocking loads though as I research larger tanks. Sometimes it seems like tank size is suggested due to the size of the fish and sometimes I hear about the bio load. Bigger is always better but if you don’t have much space for large tanks, will more frequent water changes take care of the tank size issue- as long as it’s big enough for the fish to grow and be healthy of course. Thanks!!
I hope you get an answer from Cory and I'm not telling you wrong, but the short answer is yes. When it comes to size/bio-load, you CAN get away with "overstocking" by using more water changes. However, I wouldn't really recommend it... It sounds good on paper but "more frequent water changes" will wear you down in the long run. I have found that packing literally as many plants as possible in your tank will greatly increase the amount of bio-load you can handle as well as reduce the need for water changes. Either way, I would stay away from "overstocking" unless you're talking about more minor examples, e.g. 10-15% over the recommended stock levels, not 2-3 times what you should have in there.
Chad Windham thank you so much for this response. My tanks are heavily planted and well established. I’m just thinking of adding 6-8 white clouds in the mix. The plants and snails basically take care of most of the waste and my ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels are always around 0 (closer to 20 ppm nitrate). I only need to water change once a week. I think I’ll go ahead and try it and if it does seem overcrowded I can move them. Thanks!!!
Love your honest videos
Yes yes yes. I'm so happy you are going with tons of small fish again, instead of the goldfish. It's not that goldfish are bad, but it made the 800 feel more like an indoor pond instead of an aquarium. I can't wait to see it.
Wow ❤️❤️ it will looks amazing 😍👌
You should show us every step ❤️
Just can't wait
Hey Cory, getting a school of platinum rummynose for my 55g scaped tank. Looking forward to seeing them nice and tight together. 😊
A valuable perspective to share. An unknown X factor (weather conditions not considered by the buyer) can make a world of difference and result in ragging on the seller about something the seller really had no control over. Looking forward to watching them school in the bigger tank. Thanks.
Awesome Cory!
Can't wait to see the tank once it is done!!
Cant wait to see that its gona be awesome to look at and sorry for that many fish lost rummy nose is one of my top 3 fish they are constantly on the move 😀
My favorite kind of video! Thanks!
That's going to look incredible. Awesome setup 👍🏿👍🏿
100th comment. THIS IS AMAZING! You know I love the Val/neon combo and this is the same concept and I can’t wait to see this. For everyone really wanting to see this thing, check back in a year and the plants will look amazing! Love love love this
Wow the 800 gallon looks amazing. Can't wait to see more.
DANG BRO Rummynose Tetras are my favorite! Pumped to see them in action with your puffer!
Looking good 👌, will look awesome when fish are addded. 👍
Good stuff bro...Hoorah!!
Those Rummynose are going to look amazing in the 800! I can already see possible swim paths.
Looks great!!! Love it!!
Grate video thanks Cory
WOW, that sux that you lost soo many in the second shipment. I have 50 rummynose tetra's here in my 4ft tank tank and I love the way they school together. They will look awesome in your 800g tank.
I once had a 4ft fish tank, that had at least 100 cardinal tetras in it, that use to swim back and forth, and it was beautiful!!! Cardinal tetras and discus are my favorite fish, especially together.
Yes! This is gonna be awesome! Rummynose are my favorite fish
What a great plan!
Great mind think alike bruh!!! I got rummynose in the quarantine as well.
I have absolutely fallen in love with rummy nose tetra. The whole schooling fish thing is my favourite thing to watch in my tank and their colours and the little red faces are so cool. Easily one of my favourites.
They look so cool! Can’t wait to see them in the 800.
You’re doing amazing things for this hobby!!!!
Upgraded my school of 6 to 12 and I have been mesmerized since, this is going to be next level!
My Favourite fish 😍, sorry to hear about the massive loss, can't wait to see them. In the 800g
Information is awesome
It's going to look amazing!
I can only imagine how much work goes into getting an 800 gallon tank up and running. I’m still years away from something as large as a 120. lol
it is so soothing to watch them swim. Like waves in the ocean.
Thats going to look awesome!
Thanks a bunch I sell fish at a pet store and educating people on some of the problems I face is awesome!
That is so true, i think the shipping is what hurts. Noise, vibration, slamming the box around, and temperature play a huge part in the purchase of fish
Totally something I'd do if I had an 800 gallon, a large school of small fish. Can't wait to see!
It looks cool but if you had a tank that big just go marine…a reef tank that large would look insane
😳 wow looks like the ocean with those large schools. Fantastic!
Looks amazing.
I'm so so excited! I'm planning a 200 with similar sized fish 😁
The 800 is going to look amazing!
Love it!!
Love this Idea!!
cant wait to see final results 😁😁
When will they be added to the 800 tank? Great video new sub👍🏾
Beeeeeeyouuuuuteeeefullll!!! That 800 looks awesome!
They are so much fun to watch
Love rummy nose! I have a 40 breeder with 20 in the tank lots of movement! With my l184s seems to work.
Can’t wait!!!
Awesome, that tank has changed a lot, LOL..where are all the goldfish?
Isn't ladybird's beak going to absolutely scratch up the acrylic?
I can see the setup look beautiful the way you destribe how you want it to look.
Just curious, what substrate are you using in the 800?
The 800 gallon is looking good Corey.
Sometimes I think about what I'd do with a giant tank but then I look over at my 10 gallon shrimp tank and think "this is much more my speed"
I love Rummynose and Bloodfins, great little Tetras
Those rummynose look great. I’d feed lots of tubifex and bloodworm to fatten them up.
Hope ladybird enjoys them as much as we do.
Enjoy man, I've done something similar with a smaller tank and a "bit" less fishes years ago. Tanks are expensive in Hawai'i so had to make do with a standard 55gal tank. Built a similar cross flow setup that is on a timer to reduce the flow rate so the fishes can rest at night. I actually went with real driftwoods and used lots of real plants of various morphology. Getting some of them was really difficult due to Hawai'i strict live importation laws! The goal was a tank that's mostly self-sufficient with a mix of tetras, dozen siamese algae eaters, a dozen bottom-feeding loaches of several small species, malaysian trumpet snails, and small freshwater shrimps. The tetras was a mix of several different species that looks very different to each other so that they would school in separate groups. I found out the hard way that Neons and Cardinals are too similar and tended to school in one large group! The tetras was Neons/Cardinals, Rummy-Noses, Serpaes, Diamonds, and one other species I cannot remember at the moment. Had about 50-100 of each in the tank. Was cool to watch them swim in the tank in separate schools with them taking turns in spending time in the open and hiding in the dense growths, all the while maintaining the school groups. The siamese function as algae control, the loaches helps keep the snails in check and aerate the substrate, the snails and shrimp are bottom cleaners, and the tetras keep the shrimp population under control. It took a while before I found the right population density of each group for a balanced tank that only required an occasional replenishment of micro-fauna feeders for the tetras.
Ran across yer video by accident and seeing yer rummies schooling is making me yearn to restart fish-keeping again. Unfortunately, I currently living at a rental that has strict aquarium limits. (Basically just 1 10-gallon max, which is too small for me, I only use 20s for individual quarantines and water conditioning.) Maybe in a few years when I have my own place...
I can not wait.
I thinks it’s gonna look super cool, similar concept as the 600 neons in the circular tank at Dallas Aquashella.
Question. What lighting are you using to hit the substrate at 40” deep?
Thanks much
Fluval 3.0
where did you get those planters?
The 800 looks awesome! Excited to see it fill out. Really stinks about that "Universal" company because the product looks amazing in the tank.
what is the big green filter bubble in your aquarium ??? iam new to aqua i just go my fisrt one and i want good filter water like you got
Thats gonna be awesome
Absolute best schooling fish, I got them because of this channel!
How many root tabs did you put around those crypts?
