Clowns look great. Thanks for the upload, I enjoy watching your tank.
+kevin cody Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks Kevin.
@@aldiaz33 hello what are the dimensions of the aquarium?
Awesome tank!!!!
pretty sweet!
A few people requested an update, so here it is. Not much has changed. The Pinktail Chalceus passed away: RIP. He was a little over 8". I have to shoot the videos at night otherwise there is a nasty glare, but the downside is that most of the Clown Loaches turn in early so you don't see many of them. The larger ones especially like to go to bed early. In other news, the tank survived the 4.0 earthquake we had a few weeks ago. I always wonder what I'm going to find after an earthquake, but so far so good. Thanks for watching.
Alex diaz you should let the algae grow in your tank only a the back area , because when their alot of algae its very fluffly and it will be a cool looking back ground for the tank
+Victor Techakaisri I like your idea. I've seen that type of algae before and it looks really cool. The only issue is that several of the species I keep love to eat algae (the Flagtail especially, but the Arulius barbs and the Wide-bar SDs would munch on it if it were to get long). Maybe if I were to eventually keep different species of fish, I could try growing it out.
+Alex Diaz wow , how did i forgot that the flagtail fish eats the algae
+Alex Diaz anyway your tanks is look absolutely stunning
Hi,what dimensions does your aquarium have?
Love it
Hi Raveen, I will try to shoot a video this weekend. I can't guarantee it, but I will do my best to get it uploaded. Thanks!
Active and happy fish!
love this tank man
Good god that is a wondrous sight. Why only one flagtail? I have to agree with some previous posters in that we need a longer video lol
I absolutely love this tank! You went with the perfect size fish for a tank this size. Those Widebars I always thought were ugly - until I saw them in a proper sized tank - so awesome! Is the one with all the red the alpha-male? You could put up a video everyday and I would watch it - or even a 30 minute video... hint hint... Lol.
+Catfish Cave Thank Catfish. Glad to hear you enjoy the videos. My last upload was around 6 months ago and I was worried that this 3 minute video was too long- lol.
like always awesome tank buddy congratulations keep up the great work!!!
+brans Thanks Brans. Glad you enjoyed the video.
+Alex Diaz I did thank you Merry Christmas
Very nice tank
+Nflorencio 63 Thanks Florencio.
still my fave tank on youtube
You choose a very cool species of fish for your tank nice school !!!!
+Victor Techakaisri Thanks Victor. I appreciate the kind words.
Nice active aquarium, Subb you!
U know u have a Big aquarium if u can fit a tree inside it haha Nice video!
+fRANK Cadillac Thanks Frank. Glad you enjoyed the vid. Lookin' swoll AF bruh!
+Alex Diaz Thanks! I bench my aquariums on Sundays haha. I enjoy watching your videos, been subscribed for awhile.
Very nice, what are you running for filtration?

The Oscar is the best thing in there
bro i love ur tank. i used to rock a 240 gallon with monster arowanas and big oscars and amazon catfish. i also kept flagtail prochilodus as juvies and i know they get like over a foot and i always wondered wtf is up with urs. does he never grow or is urs like stunted or sumthing. anyways ur doin good in life to be able have that tank!!! also you should get like 5 more flagtail prochilodus fish and ur tank needs a mellow arowana!! that would be cool
+ty tyler Thanks Tyler. Glad you like the tank. I think you might be right about my flagtail being stunted. I've seen videos of some monsters and I'd guess he's only around 8 or 9" and he's probably pushin 5 years old. In regards to the Aro, my goal was to keep smaller fish, but sometimes I do think that an arowana cruising around the surface would be cool. Thanks again.
I've seen a lot tanks, and this has to be one of the most spectacular ever. When I first saw it, I thought it was from a commercial aquarium or hotel lobby or something. One of the nicest things is how natural the behavior of the fish seems. Do you charge admission if someone wants to see it??
+Greggz111 Thanks for the kind words. I love showing the tank off to anyone who's interested. If you're ever in the SF Bay Area, shoot me a message.I just watched your videos...your rainbows are amazing. I love seeing established tanks like yours with fish that have been around a few years. Shows that you are consistent with caring for them.
+Alex Diaz Thanks for the kind words. Funny we just ran into each other on the forum. I do have one more question. What room in the house is this tank in? Can you observe it often? What a commitment that is.
+Greggz111 It's actually in a small 18'x10' pool room detached from my house. The pool room has a poured concrete (slab) foundation whereas my house is on pier and beam foundation (with wimpy 2x6's). I would need to seriously reinforce the floors in my house to be able to support the weight of the tank, but I actually prefer having it outside of my house; I don't worry about flooding in the event a catastrophe (we have earthquakes here). In regards to maintenance, it's actually not that much more work...just takes longer to refill after water changes.
Makes sense and too bad as well. A shame to not enjoy it more often....but my tank tank is in my den, so I completely understand. By the way, I showed my wife the video...and the first thing she said was "Where is that? That's not in someone's house, is it?. When I told her it was a personal aquarium, she was stunned.
If you ever decide to go fully planted on that tank....you'll need to get a wet suit!
high time for for the next update Alex.
+Raveen Rangajeewa Hi Raveen, let me see if I can film one next weekend. Glad to hear you enjoy the updates.
I really liked the chalceus bro. sry about your loss
BTW...any fish breed in here
+Daniel Mc Sween Thanks Daniel, I liked him too. The Arulius barbs breed like rabbits...I have about 100 fry growing out in the sump right now. The Green Texas has laid eggs a few times, but I don't have a male in there to fertilize them.
so cool....i would like to get a chalceus one day. I don`t know when i might ever see one though
ok thank you guy.
just my opinion, but a school of like 6-10 pictuse catfish would be a nice add to the tank. Absolutely love the tank though!
Thanks Justin. I agree. I've actually thought about doing this. The clown loaches are supposed to be my bottom level swimmers, but they roam all over.
+Alex Diaz Just in my experience, but my pictuse catfish like to roam all over too occasionally, but for the most part they stay at the bottom and are veryyy active so it's really entertaining lol. It all just depends on how active you would want you tank to be which clearly it's already very active lol. I'm also really impressed on how your green texas, green terror, oscar, and jack dempsey get along. Love the set up and keep it up man!👍
I'm not a fan of most catfish because most of them just sit on the bottom and do nothing until it's time to eat. Pictus are really cool in that they seem to never stop moving. I may end up adding them; I really like your idea. In regards to the cichlids getting along, lately the Green Terror has been getting picked on, but it's the Clown Loaches that are roughing him up, not the Oscar, Texas or the JD. Thanks for the kudos.
+Alex Diaz If you ever get pictuse catfish then you have to upload a new video for me haha
Hola Alex, podrías decirme que tipo de madera es?... que proceso hiciste para curarles...
Hi alex, can you tell me please what kind of wood are those?...
Is the best tank that i ever seen, great job buddy....
saludos!
+Sujeimar Arroyave Restrepo Hola Sujeimar, My Spanish is poor, so I will respond in English. I believe the wood is Oak. It was pulled from a local Lake (Folsom Lake) here in California. It was sandblasted to clean it up, then I placed it in my hot tub with bags of gravel over it so that it would get waterlogged. If you are interested in seeing the entire process, I documented it here: www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/770-gallon-monster-setup.433117/Thanks for the kind words!
+Alex Diaz thanks buddy keep making updates of your amazing tank!!!! ... Saludos desde colombia!!
What fish is the ones that are shaped like roseline barbs with the red finds and the line down its body? If you had 6 more of them they would look so beautiful in a school!
+IBMikmaq I actually started off with 9 of them, but I had a really bad ich outbreak that took 5 of them out. They are pretty hard to find. They are called Cyclocheilichthys janthochir. Some common names I've seen them listed under is Red-Fin Bala Shark and Red Fin Silver Shark. I also like how they school so tightly together. They are rarely more than 1 foot apart from one another. A while back I decided not to add any more fish because the risk of introducing disease/parasites just isn't worth it to me since everything seems to be in such good balance now. Glad you enjoyed the video!
thank you so much for the reply, I am going to try to obtain that species and see if I can breed them.
You make me want a similar size tank! My biggest was a 420 gallon.
I would love to see that turned into a planted aquarium in the future using smaller fish species in larger schools. A large group of guianacara owroewefi would look amazing! I love seeing large schools of smaller type fish in huge aquariums then you get to see their natural behaviors!
A tank that size you create such an amazing aquascape! the skies the limit!
thank you for posting videos
how long do we have to wait for the next video Alex?
Hi Raveen- I just posted a new feeding video. =)
Beautiful tank , except for those plastic pipes.
Hello mate where did you get your tank made?
I am the second owner. It was built by a company that is no longer in business (Tenecor). I heard that some of the employees of that company started a new company called Titan Aquariums.
did you have this custom made or you made it your self !
+Review Wales It was built by an acrylic aquarium manufacturer that was based out of Arizona. They are no longer in business anymore. I am the second owner of the tank. Making a tank this size yourself is possible, but you would need the right equipment. The large panels each weigh several hundred pounds (the entire tank weighs ~1,200 lbs- empty).
very nice tank mate
What is your aquarium size???
770 gallons (2915 Liters)
de que material es el cristal?
acrílico
what filter your using for it ?
ruclips.net/video/3g4KGI7caho/видео.html
excellent mate :)
Where'd the filament barbs go?!?!
+Don Mayfield What's up Don? I felt horrible about it...all your Filaments died after a large scale water change. I think they were used to the way you do water changes (I think you mentioned that you treat the water prior to adding it to your tank whereas I empty about 50% and add Prime as I refill). Your way of doing water changes is better, but for me to do that with ~400 gallons makes it tough. I think it must have been chloramine poisoning. All of my other fish were fine, so I think it was just a shock to what they were accustomed to. Really sorry about it. I have a group of 10 Filaments growing out in a quarantine tank that you can have if you are interested. I was going to add them to the big tank, but I think it's already too crowded in there.
+Alex Diaz awwww that sucks! The water quality in Aptos is very different too, maybe it was that. they are pretty hardy fish. On my new discus tank I refill my tank the way you do, haven't had any problems...but hey, fish die sometimes... You should add them to your tank! you got the room! Sell your silver dollars :)
+Don Mayfield Yeah, the water quality report always looks good, but the water out here in Concord tastes funky. My brother's dog doesn't like drinking it...he's used to East Bay MUD water which is awesome. I also grew up on EBMUD water and I can definitely taste a difference. The dog sniffs my Concord water and looks at me like, "I have to drink this crap?" I don't blame him, I'm the same way. This drought probably isn't helping either. Haha, not a fan of the SD's huh? Before your Filaments died, they bred. I have 3 that are growing out in my sump right now (about 1.5"). They are in there with a ton of False Arulius barb fry.
+Alex Diaz The water quality in Aptos is bad... Pumped ground water, hard as rock. I grew up in Stockton, water is terrible. I'm in SF now. I have a 180 Gallon bow front Discus tank. I have 18 blue diamonds plus some plecos, corys, brass tetras, a few barbs, etc.The fillament barbs never bred in my tank....that's cool that happened. usually signifies good water quality and health... ugh you never know
Hi Alex,, want a favour I am little confused in identifying the male and female thin bar/wide bar dollars..some say male has lobes and females have long anal fins but when I read on the other platforms or on google I found the other way round..which one is correct and if you know the difference can u pls explain.
I had read a long time ago that the males have a "double hook" (anal fin) whereas the females have a single uninterrupted hook (anal fin). I am not sure if this is true (I've never seen any eggs produced), so I can't validate this, but there is definitely a difference in the shape of the anal fins on my fish.
Alex Diaz thx but that what I wanted to get sure..coz I have read on google and on many platforms that males have long red anal fins while the females don’t have those..but not getting sure..some say males have lobes but google say males have long fins..who to go with ? :-)
@@sonilnayyar2962 I'll try to watch for breeding behavior to see if I can spot which type releases eggs and let you know.
Alex Diaz thx
@@sonilnayyar2962 It looks like I may have had it backwards. Check out the link to the video below. They are more knowledgeable than I and they say double hooks are females and single smooth hook are males.

Have facebook fans page to follow you?
+Junior Brioneux Gomez I try to post new videos to RUclips every couple of months. I don't do anything fish related on my Facebook. Glad to hear you enjoy the videos.
Get angelfish
STOP RECORDING VIDEOS?
I will upload a new video soon.
Good god that is a wondrous sight. Why only one flagtail? I have to agree with some previous posters in that we need a longer video lol
+Christian Harnisch Thanks Christian. In regards to only having one flagtail, I've read that if you keep more than 1 you should have at least 5 because otherwise the dominant one will pick on the other. If you have a group, it disperses aggression. These things are crap factories and I don't want 5+ of them mucking up the water. I've found that algae eating fish are some of the messiest fish (right up there with goldfish). I really like them, but I'm happy with just one. Thanks again for the kudos.
