Subbed :) But here is a tip that will save you fish in the future - don't drip acclimate them. When fish are shipped in those types of bags, once you open and allow fresh oxygen to go in there the pH and such changes drastically almost immediately and in turn ammonia will suddenly rise and become toxic in a very, very short time. Drip is fine for those that aren't shipped and are very pH and GH sensitive and you have yours set a certain way vs the store. But when having them shipped, that water becomes toxic almost immediately once the bag is opened. Why all the big names of the industry you see in their videos acclimate to temp and then plop them in as it's easier for them to adjust to pH than to risk survival of the toxic ammonia. Good luck!
Oh, and my Leopard Bushfish is my favorite out of my 21 tanks too lol
So good to see another Ctenopoma fan! XD But yeah what you were saying does actually make some sense now that i think about it. Thanks for the tip friend i will look some more into it. i'm interested in that now. No one has ever bothered to mention that since i've been in the trade. But the idea of what your are saying does make sense. Thank you for your insight. M. Yates. :)
You're welcome. I don't know much about the science behind it, but something I've learned and I've never drip acclimated a fish in 26 years and never lost a fish from it. Temp acclimate and plop. Now, like I said, if they are more sensitive fish or some such, then you can try to counteract it by putting in 2 - 3x conditioner into the water they are in, that may help it a lot. But if you follow others like Rachel O'Leary and Ken, etc, they recommend not to drip if the fish is shipped.
Nice! That's a super nice Congo Tetra. I too like Bush Fish.
I live about 20 miles from Imperial Tropicals. i love going there and looking at all the fish. most of witch are grown in ponds on the property.
that sounds awesome i wish i had bigger retailers near me, but unfortunately i don't. I bet it's fun to go to. :)
have bought from imperial tropicals before - not the best quality fish, but they are very nice people that will refund/replace fish without hesitation.
Do you have any better suggestions for getting cichlids? I lucked out finding this video because I was just about to order this same fish from the same company lol
Very nice threadfin's...I ordered mine from them too! Tank looks good!
thank you. I can't wait for my next online purchase. If i get more subs and likes i will be doing another one soon. I plan on doing a 30 gallon breeder with Dwarf Cockatoo Cichlids. Maybe even plant that tank. :)
Thats pretty cool man
How did you heal the fins? Couldn’t make out what the 1st of the 2 treatments were.
Nice little guys! Subbed
awesome man we need more vids like this one ill be uploading a imperial tropicals unboxing in about a week or so, just placed my order 135$ worth of baby's cant wait merry Christmas to me lol :) and to everyone else:)
I would love to see that and merry Christmas to you too. :)
Was looking at these fish from imperial also
Hi is that congo tetra naturally blue I never saw them in that color before?
Some Congo tetras do have natural blue hues. I think because I had LED lighting to help with plant growth in the tank It was maybe over dramatizing it more.
@@phantomaquarist3417 oh ok
Great I subbed!
Thank you for your support. :)
No need to drip acclimate them. 15 minutes in the tank in the bag is all you need.
Hello my friend, that one spotted earth eater is not a demon geo, it's called satanoperca leucosticta a type of jupuri. I know because I have a nice set that is wild caught.
great vid bro just sub
Thank you very much. Honestly was having alot of problems with the audio. So i am happy the video turned out good. :)
Kitty cat likes them !!
gained a sub
Thank you so much. Your support is very appreciated. :)
No prob. Was the shipping cost high? I wamt to order fish offline but the shipping is more than the fish itself.
That's my bad i forgot to mention the price in the video. Orders over $45 are free shipping. their site doesn't really say if thats a limited time or all the time tho. And without the free shipping its $15. At least thats what it was for me. So insanely cheap shipping. Im use to always seeing shipping at $45 and up for these online companies even on Ebay
Thanks thats always my problem i guess ill just make it worth my 45$ thansk for replying.
miguel contreras anytime, and like i said in the video this was really worth the money spent. My Geophagus are happy, and healthy, and running all around my tank. I'm personally very pleased with this purchase. :)
your fish look great sir !!! I subbed u When you get a chance can you look at my fish ?
Of course friend. I'll take a look at your vids, and thank you for your support. XD
Wow friend you have over a hundred videos. Do you do update videos every day. I see you make a video every day. You are very dedicated to your fish, and all the fish i saw in some of the videos were in great looking condition, and very happy looking, also what camera are you using. Those are some really clear cut shots. Nice!
thanks a lot man means a lot thanks again
Anytime, but now that i am asking. Wat camera are you using for those shots. I'm looking for a new camera for use in my videos. I currently use a Sony 20.1 mega pixels Cybershot for my shots. XD
