    Endler Guppies are one of my favourite fish. Let's give them an awesome breeding tank. The snakeskin is my favourite so I'm hoping to get some babies out of this project :)

    • @NXAlpha
      @NXAlpha 3 года назад +2

      Dear MD, i must say that the tank is great, theyre innefficient as a breeding tank since breeding setups are just bare tank with a filter and floating plants, i think your endler isnt necessarily endler, theyre endler crosses, since endlers doesnt come with that pattern, and snakeskin endlers are more guppy than endler, anyways... gotta love that editing

      Hey MD, just wanted to let you know (in case you didn’t already) that those cherries and blue shrimp could crossbreed into a brownish colour. Assuming both are neocaridina species of course. That’s all, amazing tank again, love the work!

    The one thing I Most apreciate about your scapes/tank set ups (apart from the Good looks of course) is the low Tech aspect - it gives the feeling this hobby is for everyone and not Only for the Ones that can afford the high end, high cost products. You are my favourite and no 1 inspiration working with my own tanks :-D Thanks!

    Protip for MC planting: pick yourself up some bamboo cocktail skewers that have the decorative knot on the top. Insert them into the soil, so that the knot holds down the small bunches of MC. They can then be removed once the MC roots take hold; pushed deeper into the soil later on; or left in place so that the MC grows over it

    I am seriously hooked on these videos! Just purchased some aquatic plants late evening after work. An amazing hobby and learnt a lot on your channel. Only thing that stumps me is hoovering substrate in tricky areas…small plastic tubing has too much suction power compared to a manufacturable gravel cleaner… rips shreds through my leaves or uproots plants! A learning curve :)
