Hello sorry your aquarium is really fantastic. Where do you buy the fish? I have had several problems with orandas due to kidney failure and dropsy. I think they are quite delicate fish. I thought that varieties such as ryukin or fantail are more resistant than orandas. I noticed that the higher the fish are of high genealogy the more delicate they are, I was wondering if my deduction was true. Thanks in advance
Hey, yes I would totally agree with you there. Generally the higher the price, the harder they are to keep. I don't have them anymore but ryukin and longer bodied oranda seem to be quite hardy compared to other varieties. Thank you
Hi Chris , your aquarium and goldfish are looking fantastic as per usual. I agree with you regarding alfa grog . I have read studies that cite its ability to hold vast amounts of bacteria. I wonder what is your take on under gravel filters ? 😊
I personally am not a huge fan of under gravel, due to the difficulties cleaning them. Leaving dirt and detritus to break down over long periods in an aquarium feels wrong to me, unfortunately.
I understand what you mean. I like the sump idea the best. UGF are difficult to clean. Some fish owners never clean them ever and seem to have success from what they tell us. But I prefer the look of your aquarium.😊
@@AquaticElements they are not meant to be cleaned in a regular basis l. the detritus is broken down to inert beneficial stuff. Research was done and shown that they compare closest to canister filters. Aquarium science has a breakdown and stats in this. Yes sump is the best. But canisters and UGF are next best. I think people don’t understand how they work most info on them are inaccurate
1 advice, use potassium permanganate solution, dosage 1gm/1000 litres every week, been using for last 6 months myself works like magic makes the fishes super active nd hungry...
I've got 4x Fancy gold fish in a 180L tank, Fluval 207 canister filter, regularly change out the polishing pads and carbon at least once a month as well as change out water twice a week. Water is always crystal clear. Not rocket science lol. Cannot comment on larger tanks.
Please make a complete set up video of your tank with explaining the best filters that you use
Already made one, here you go 😄

My favorite for crystal clear water is ozone. Ozone combines the benefits of active carbon and UVC lights. But you need to handle it with caution
Yes ozone is great! But as you say, it needs to be used very carefully

How often do you do a waterchange and what % thank you
40% Once a week 😁

Very bad idea, it kills all beneficial bacteria along.
Anaerobic area's???🏴✌️
What kind fish is that?
Oranda
No more water lily?
This video was shot before I added it. Will be revealed fully in the next video 😁
