Helping Wild Caught Fish Adapt to Aquarium Life

- Wild caught fish will can be both the most robust and the most susceptible fish you will buy for your aquarium. And while i don't think all fish should be wild caught, i do believe they have their place in the aquarium hobby for keeping our breeding stocks as healthy as possible. But if you do buy wild caught fish then you have a responsibility to do everything you can to get them healthy and happy as quickly as possible. This little video takes a look at some points you can consider when you buy wild fish, and what you can do to help them adapt to their new life in an aquarium.
My favourite fishy stuff! (yes these are affiliate links :) )
Lights
Nicrew Classic LED - amzn.to/3fG3Uv6 - Traditional led light that's got a nice high output in a white/cool colour range. Makes plants look extra green.
Nicrew SKY - amzn.to/3Ktn45U - really nice light for natural looking tanks, also the one I use for filming.
Filters
Pat Mini - amzn.to/3fE1u0k - popular for a reason, just a superb little filter thats great for shrimp tanks and fish alike.
ASAP - amzn.to/3nBuytp - the old favourite and the one i return to most frequently.
Air Pump
AP-3 Kit : amzn.to/34UMA3q - Great little air pump, not a silent runner, but has been very reliable for me.
Tanks
Scaper 45 - amzn.to/3KBxG2H - a lovely high quality tank that comes with a super strong light, and a decent enough hang on back filter - perfect for newbies and scapers alike.
My filming stuff
Camera - Cannon 200D - amzn.to/354OLlc - nice camera, easy to use.
BigTripod - Manfrotto befree - amzn.to/3GLXDdj - pricey but super sturdy and can take being knocked over a lot by clumsy operators.
Lil' tripod - amzn.to/355WmQs - can't pronounce the name but it's been a good tripod for filming things on tables or when I have tanks on the floor.

I haven't seen any non-photoshopped pictures of these, and I am excited to find this video! They're adorable!!
you can clearly see their swim bladders so cool
Most informative as usual!
I always look forward to your videos.
Any chance you can do one on paradise fish in the near future?
Watching all your videos
Brilliant, always look forward to your content releases, thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos.
for your gudgeons i would try fluval bug bites flakes. mine was picky with dry foods but gobbles up the bug bites. if they still reject them, asking your store what they feed them could be helpful
Great topic and informative info 👍
Great tank again. Made me wonder what plants you grow in these dim light conditions. Problem I had with dimmed light was stem plants dying, lots of algea and eventually the bleu bacteria one that took over.
The plants are all well esptablished anubias, bolbitus or cryptocoryne species that can cope with the low light. And even then the crypto is tall enough to reach right upto the feeble light. there is a fissidens fontanus moss in there thats not happy and really wants more light, but fissidens is borderline invasive in my tanks so i dont mind if it dies, and a rotala at the back thats stretching for the light.
Great video as always, you deserve more subscribers!
Slow and steady wins the race right :D
very intresting video. I have a couple peacocks of my own but they are not wild thankfully. also I recommend a smart plug for the lights on the tank. you can set a schedule for the plug and it works like a charm so you don't have to drop everything and turn off the lighs.
Smart plug huh... I'm going to look into that....
Very interesting and educational. Thanks!
Good advice. 👍
Best of luck with them! What a wonderful channel this is. Your channel should have many more subscribers! :)
Thank you for the science and might I add that is a gorgeous aquarium!
Very surprised you don't use timers. What about when you go away?
I do have one light with a timer :D!! the rest are either complete sets that didn't come with one, or set ups I've put together from random bits. But yeah, i really do need to get the tech side of the tanks sorted out, at the mo when I go away I use one of those old plug adaptor timers with the little blue pins you push in, it works fine, but it ticks incessantly so cant use it all the time :D
What parasitic to you use?
