we do have to know the cap size for that. for eg. he used 6 caps of 20ml, without knowing that, suppose if we use 15 caps 10ml (small bottle maybe). the part ratio formula won't work.
Frequent water change will make traditional cycling unnecessary. It has been ingrained in our heads with copy and paste words that you have to have cycle tanks before adding in fish. I've kept fish for 20 years without doing the traditional fully cycled tank before adding fish. I've always do fish in cycle and weekly 50% water change religiously for normal hardiness fish.
Sorry I couldn't get to you right away as I checked my RUclips notifications when I'm available. Messing is always faster. It's fish in cycle with the old filter. The old filter has been cleansed of all lifeforms and restarted. There will be a spike in ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite, but water change will help prevent the spike. The levels will be higher than normal, but it will not spike and kill the fish.
@@amazonianangelfish thanks. Your comment about a sponge being adequate for the bio load made a lot of sense. I’m used to big fish that require strong filtration as in FX6
hello dear friend. i am breeding altum. caught young pairs first fry. so i am gonna try dantums. i bought 6 pieces of them breeding aged. any advice for dantum lights or anything? many people talking albino is more blind. how to care? what they hate or anything. regards from mongolia
Hello my Mongolian friend, the albino Dantums I just treat like regular fish. When they are young fry stage, I would keep the light low so they can eat, but once they are big enough to be sold, I use normal lights.
thank you. did you breed altum? my altums breed just normal water. not ro or anything. I was so shocked. I caught fry successfully about 90%. they was breed 8th of October. now they are ready to breed again. cleaning ceramic vase.
That poor betta surely you have a 10 gallon laying around. They don’t do well in huge tanks with large fish and heavy water flow. Plus how does he eat with fast moving angels. He needs a small tank with plants he can rest on.😞
You are a smart guy and know your stuff, but be careful of any form of cross contamination, different cleaning tools, different nets, different buckets, and don't work on that tank right after working on any other tanks without sanitizing and drying your hands first. Honestly if you can keep the tank separate from your fish room it lowers the risk of cross contamination dramatically, less likely to grab the wrong thing and cross contaminate. There's viruses in the hobby that aren't in the wild that will decimate wild caught fish with no exposure to them. Same goes for tank raised from wild caught, if they maintained protocols to not introduce any virus, the fish won't have an immune system that can fight it. Only fish I can think of that would cost an arm and a leg that may be difficult would be zebra plecos.

Very informative Video! Looking forward to Part 2 👍🏼
I thought you were branching out to discus for a while there. I am so looking forward to the fish you have purchased! 🎉

I agree. The seller just told me a cap full so I just did what he said.
I think the new fish will be Discus fish ?Possibly wild caught ?
No, they will be domestic breed altum angelfish
Did you do anything to cycle the filter/tank or will frequent water changes make traditional cycling unnecessary?

Thanks, sounds logical enough & if it works it works. I posted this in another place to see if they all have a Fit.😹😹😹@@amazonianangelfish
Will the filter eventually build up BB?@@amazonianangelfish
Nice job !! I’m guessing the same WILD CAUGHT ALTUM coming 😂
🫢
I think they will be tank bred
Forgive me if I missed this, but did you do a fishless cycle with a new filter?

Come for the fish. Stay for the algebra lesson!
🤣 it's something that I use from time to time. Never thought I'd apply it to real life back in high school.

I'm going to guess, but I think you're getting altum angelfish? 🤔🤔

She's the longest lasting betta I've kept in my fish keeping hobby. The ones in smaller tanks have died out.
