    You got me into least killifish! I have 4 and I just found two teeny tiny babies in the tank. Still can’t find the golden type you have shown on your channel. Hopefully someday!

    Beautiful! You should show us what it looks like now! I just discovered the crypt parva and it is really fun! How many fish did you put into the tank? It does look the tank will be a bugger to maintain. 😜 I had a hard time finding chili rasboras and during COVID lost all but one. I was able to find some merah and bought them hoping it would help with lowering the stress level of the chili. It did work for the most part and have a mixed school of 6 fish now. As soon as Flip Aquatics has some available, I am going to get 20 more. they are in my 75 g-big schools of nano fish in a large tank. 🥰

    Finally set up a specific grow out nonscaped tank for the super red fry. Black painted black sides and bottom. A couple caves, Anubias on driftwood and one on rock. Guess I’m weird I think it looks great and every time I pull everything and put in bucket of water to catch fry I get to rescape. Just because I feel like it- did you know I sent my picture to the lonely hart’s club. They sent it back turns out they aren’t that lonely!-I stopped understanding math when the alphabet got involved.- You know why I don’t have tattoos? You don’t put a bumper sticker on a Ferrari!( that one is for the Professor 😝🤪)

    I was thinking about sending you a note to ask if you were familiar with the fish I’ve just started keeping. They’re an even smaller Rasbora species, and I just got my second delivery of them today - Boraras Micros, aka Micro Rasbora.
    I have pygmys too, but the micro are about half the size, with an average adult topping out at less than half an inch in length. To get an appreciation for their size, I’ve told folks to flip a dime over to the “tails” side. The torch, in the middle of the image, is about the size/proportions of their body (without the fins). I’m keeping a school of 15 in a “micro nano” tank - and I still have to hunt for them unless they’re at the glass waiting to be fed. 🔬

  • @shellyk1371
    @shellyk1371 2 года назад

    Awesome scape! Will the rasboras be ok in your rock hard water? I thought they were soft water fish. That's what's keeping me from getting any. I don't want to have to deal with buffered substrate either.

    I have a good friend escaping Ukraine right now. She had to leave her Nano tank in Kyev. When she gets here I want to give her a decent tank probably a Flex model, so she can start to feel at home here. She hopes to go back one day but she has no longer got a home to go too. She is travelling alone with her dog and cat. When she is up to it I will show her your channel.

I was really pleased with how fast they colored up. I have rocks arranged almost cave-like, so they can hide in between, and lots of baby java ferns and 1 fake plant. They seem happy even though it's small. Shared with a nerite snail. Cute fish!

    Looks very nice, but it seems odd to me to put rocks on top of wood. I think it works in this case because the wood looks something like rock. Interesting that the video at around 5:30 makes the aquarium look much larger than it actually is. The dwarf rasboras are a great choice for this landscape and small aquarium.
