If you don’t like this kind of content just move on why would you down vote MD? Anyway. Thanks for another great video. You’re the reason I started my planted tanks.

    As I mentioned in previous vlogs, I wanted to build a fast flowing tank for these fish. There is no need for depth with these kind of fish so the long shallow tank is perfect for what we wat to acheive. The Panda Garra and Hillstream Loaches are amazing fish and I cannot wait to see them in the setup :)

      Hi! Your link for the tank redirects to the AllPondSolutions 30cube, but isn't the one you're using here the Ciano Tartarium 80? Very interested to hear what you think about the footprint of this (and the other two Ciano's) vs the volume/depth they lack. Would you keep something like black neons, cherry barbs, WCMM or pseudomugil species in a tank like that? Assuming no heavy/tall bodied barbs and tetras, but the more torpedo shaped guys? THanks!

    Looking great, fast flow river, love the entire thing. Suggestion:media bags filled with gravel are good sturdy bases that won't settle down over time. Looking forward to seeing the fish in there. My Gobies shoot right up the tank walls and leap when the flow is going...did need a top for them. I was sort of thinking the flow was going to go down the center, over the rocks, to given them waterfalls and shallow ruffles to play with. Maybe some bigger rocks in the back to shallow..

    Hello ... old,fluffy, Sassy Broad here. Been following you for a few months now. I love that your camera work is top-notch. And I love that your aquarium room looks neat and clean and tidy. I of course love your scapes and the variety of fish and little baby shrimps that you choose. But I have a request or maybe it's a challenge I don't know. But I had a dream one night that I was actually putting together an aquarium. Something that would never happen in the real world what was happening in my dream. The theme was of a mystical wooded fairy forest with crystals large and small. It had the little Moss balls around and really beautiful smooth colorful rocks both large and small. But like a dream I was not able in my dream to pick the fish to put in there. It was a beautiful Escape but I just couldn't get to the fish store. So anyway I thought it was a really cool idea and I was hoping that one of you guys that I follow would come up with something like that. If not it's okay I still love this site I'll still follow you but it would be so cool to see a mystical forest for fairies.

  • @kevavake
    @kevavake 3 года назад

    Panda garras are amazing to watch. They're always active and when they have confrontations with other garras, unlike most fish that get more intense colors in those circumstances, they actually loose their colors and be more dull looking.
    On a major side note though, panda garras are known to be jumpers. When I first got some, I was drip acclimating them in a bucket and in all that time they were jumping and trying to swim up the sides of the bucket.
    Just a heads up if you're sticking to an open top aquarium.

      ive kept them in a rimless aquarium with no lid for almost a year now, and I've yet to lose one. I think as long as you don't give then a reason to leave (like poor water quality, or mean tankmates), they'll stay put.
