    Been a good 20 years since my last fish tank, bought a few on sale black Friday:) You are one of my favorites now researching here on youtube, thank you so much for all the knowledge you teach:)

    I didn’t get to watch this video right away but it was because I was at the Boston Aquarium!! 🤩 It was my first time going back as an adult and a fish keeper. They don’t have many freshwater setups but the ones they do have are fantastic!!!! They have two or three GIANT freshwater riparian enclosures!! They were all fantastic but I absolutely loved one with cardinal tetras, Adolfo corys, bleeding heart tetras, and discus 😍 I had fun spotting the odds and ends in that tank. There were a few schwartz corys, otos, pencil fish, bristlenoses, a pair of geophagus, AND A PYTHON!! It was soooo cool because the snake lived up in the land area with live plants and then there’s about 5’x5’x5’ of water, if I had to guess, and the corys were finishing off an old snake shed! How cool!!!! There was also a type of fish I didn’t recognize. It was like halfway between a goby and an SAE. They weren’t all labeled. Oh and there was a turtle in there too 😂 Huge, beauuuutiful set up. Very inspiring. I could type a novel about all the fish there but I’ll stop 😜

    Those neons get me everytime.
    Agree about the greater number of a species vs the greater number of species. I cant wait to move to a place to get bigger tanks to get bigger numbers.

    Great video and beautiful tanks. More videos of them would be fine. Watching the fish in an environment where they are happy and at ease is very relaxing for us to watch, isn't it? I find inner peace watching my fish. Keep up the good work Rachel.

    This was a treat. My favorite tank, the hillstream, and my second favorite the 75g nano in one video...yay!

    It's super cool seeing all these different types of loaches and gobies... some of which I've never seen before. I'd love to sit in front of a tank like that! Gobies are so cute, like that guy at 5:52 with the black by his eye.
    What were you blurring out? Some sort of plant or fish you're not ready to reveal yet!?

    Always enjoy your videos and viewing your aquariums. Learn so much! On a side note, I've noticed you have a hatchet fish tattoo on your shoulder. I have five in my 36 gal bowflex. They are cool little critters! Really like them. So far none have taken wing and "flown" out of the tank, though I know they could. Thank you for all you share, you are appreciated!

  • @s.d.k874
    @s.d.k874 5 лет назад

    You could try the neon green rasbora in the hillstream😀 (microdevario kubotai) you said that maybe you would put them in the 150 in their spotlight video.
    I would surely love those long format videos about each individual tank!

  • @dramoth64
    @dramoth64 5 лет назад

    I just got my Apistos for my 150l tank. I've got some Bronze cory's in there as well (who just laid a ton of eggs on the rear glass in the tank), and some male Endler's to be the dither fish in the tank... although they seem to be annoying my LITTLE Apistos a bit.
    I've also my CRS start hatching their eggs over the last couple of days. I'm wish that I'd a camera out while feeding the fish this evening. One of my Pygmy Cory's was just sitting there minding it's own business and one of the baby shrimp landed on it's back and scared the shit out of it :D I was planning on draining most of the water out of the pygmy cory tank this weekend, but with the arrival of the baby shrimp, I might have to leave it for a couple of weeks now!

  • @picassoaquascaper6245
    @picassoaquascaper6245 5 лет назад

    @mediocrespectator5627 4 года назад

    I absolutely love your 75 gal nano. I ended up doing the same thing, (never seen this before today). Mine has neon tetras as well, but your green neons are superior. I want some! I also have an apistogramma as well, double red. I have pencil fish as well but differ from yours. My pencils have a single vertical stripe. I had a bunch of crashed airplanes 😉 a.k.a. banjo catfish. I should upload a video.

  • @jjxtwo1
    @jjxtwo1 5 лет назад

    Totally agree about automation in tank maintenance. It definitely has its place to be sure, but nothing can compare to regular personal inspection and interaction with your tanks. Btw, I'm always interested in stiphodon related videos. 👍

  • @bweb6

    The empty tank on the bottom right with all that rock and driftwood looks really cool. Is that just for storage or a work in progress?

    • @graphite2786
      @graphite2786 5 лет назад +1

      It was blurred out at the beginning of the video and its a very rocky scape. Possibly a high velocity hillstream or a return to the wonderful birthday tank that had a disastrous end.
      I think we may be in store for a Xmas surprise! ( please be nano Tanganyikans.... please be nano tanganyikans...)

    My husband and I are setting up a 55 gal tank. We both love the small colorful fish. I would love to know how you determine how many of each type and the number of each school... I love seeing all of your tank, so an in depth look at each one would be amazing.... Thank you for sharing

  • @robbiebatdorf8333
    @robbiebatdorf8333 5 лет назад

    I have always loved the Hillstream tank, it inspired us to set up a dirt planted 40 breeder we call Shrimp heaven a couple years ago. Densely planted with nano fish, Cherry shrimp , Blue Belly Gobies, Zebra loaches, and Bamboo shrimp just to name a few and it's our favorite. I like in depth videos on the individual tanks. Thank you for the inspiration and Happy Holidays !

  • @arteemus
    @arteemus 5 лет назад +9

    I'm so in love with that hillstream tank, and the species in it, it's my goal to keep one when I have the room in a couple of years (keeping my fingers crossed). I'm curious how often you feed your tanks...? I see so many opinions about this on the interwebs. It seems anywhere from every 2-3 days to several times a day is advised, and I'm constantly wondering if I'm underfeeding or overfeeding.
    I would love to see videos that delve into the minutiae of each tank, that includes how many of each species you prefer to stock, and how you determine maximum capatibilty.

  • @pierreschoonraad6827
    @pierreschoonraad6827 5 лет назад

    • @RachelOLeary
      @RachelOLeary  5 лет назад +1

      It has two species of sewellia, including lineolata :)

  • @ChakragurI
    @ChakragurI 5 лет назад

    I hope you find a cure for that fungus on the shrimp! It looks quite nasty. I am totally going to do what you suggested with having fewer species in greater numbers. I have two 40gals (one is a long the other is a breeder) and I've been thinking of rescaping them since they've had pretty much the same set up for a year or so and with that I'm going to add to the species I already have rather than getting another species to try out. One tank will be what they call a jungle tank and the other I'm hoping to create a sandy/rocky stream or river type of vibe. Got crazy inspiration when I saw that tank under your hillstream tank. The one with all the rocks and the root like branches. That looked amazing! But I don't remember seeing it before. Would love a closer look at that one for sure!!

  • @water_alias
    @water_alias 5 лет назад

    Rachel, you can feed grazers like Sewellia outside of the water, way easier and cleaner than feeding pills or the like and more reliant than waiting for algae (see two videos on my channel) I haven't tried this with Gastromyzons but i guess it should work with most grazers that aren't too shy. HTH

  • @jman2u50
    @jman2u50 5 лет назад

    Hey Rachel!! Love the videos! I think more in-depth videos on all the tanks would help people wanting to replicate these masterpieces that we all love. I think a small species of darter (not the endangered ones) would be very beautiful in this aquarium!

    Rachel O'Leary, I just found a new loach yesterday and I don't know what kind it is. I was wondering if you could help me identify it. It is shaped like a dojo but it is solid black except for it's barbels which are bright orange. Would you happen to know what kind it is? Could it possibly be a dojo or do they only come in the golden form?
