How many for 55 gallon tank I have 4 right now weekly water change50%
@@reefgaming3996 No more than 5-6 in a 55 gallons!
Stupid video you talk slow and wasting my time. Im out after i notice the lame way you talk, tryna waste my time ,stoo peed.
Not sure if you'll see this comment since it's an old video but I have a 3.7 gallon nano with this exact same filter. I have put my own sponge and filter floss in it. My question is, is how often do you clean the filter? And do you just clean the sponge and floss or do you take the filter apart and really clean it all inside it? Really hope you respond since you are very knowledgeable. Thank you.
@@lairddunham3692 I know longer have this aquarium setup, but I still use similar filter systems. Cleaning the sponge by simply wringing it out every few months is really all you need to do. This will keep the flow clear and strong.
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwatertothank you. Last question. Do find this filter safe for shrimp with the intake being so low in the water vs up high? Would I need to put some foam or mesh of some sort over the intake? Thank you again and I will be subscribing.
@@lairddunham3692 I don’t keep shrimp. But yes, I will suggest that you do put some kind of a covering around the bottom. You can use a rubber band to hold it in place. Good luck.
Hmmm
I have 14 of these guys in my cherry shrimp tank, but you wouldn’t know it, they hide constantly! I have even added floating plants to try and make them feel more comfortable. It’s been two weeks now. Water parameters are heading towards a neutral PH, as that is what I have read they prefer, I have botanicals in the tank, lots of live plants and moss, and there are no predators, only hundreds of cherry shrimp. I feed live baby brine shrimp to them, and they barely come out to eat! Shy is an understatement 😂 I tested the water they were in when I bought them, and it matched my aquariums PH, which was quite alkaline, I was a little shocked that the store didn’t keep them in a neutral PH to be honest, because that’s what they prefer 🤷♀️
@@unsocialbutterfly5760 throw out all the water parameter stuff. These are probably tank raised. What is the temperature of your water? I have never had ember Tetras hide before. Starve them for a few days and then give it another try. don’t chase water parameters.
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto my temp was a little in the low side, I just turned it up during todays water change. Yes you are right, probably tank raised, thanks for the advice!
@@unsocialbutterfly5760 temperature on the higher side will speed up Metabolism. This will get them out to eat. Once they see it is safe to eat they will be more willing to be out in the open. Good luck!
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto thanks so much, very helpful advice!
Thanks!

@@Hydbettas007 thank you!
This video popped to my feed for some reason too late :D Very imformative! Regarding gill flukes, don't bother with treating them in hospital tank as flukes will hit back as soon as you get the fish back into the main tank. You MUST treat main tank since flukes lay eggs in aquarium and spread to other fish, just follow the procedure that comes with medicine. A tip is to just go with any product containing Prazi, others simply don't work or work partially, but prazi knocks out flukes. Just like he said for Metro, same is for Prazi, those 2 meds you must have if you have discus, the alternatives are just too weak.
Is there a breeder/supplier you would recommend?
@@vazquezcmp no not really! It depends on where you are? You really have to do your research to find quality suppliers of fish if that’s what you’re talking about? Find somebody who is a reliable breeder themselves, and of course, strike up a relationship with them if you can. Some breeders are very funny about sharing their stock with other people for obvious reasons. They don’t want competition. Where do you live?
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto thanks for the prompt response. Great content!
@@vazquezcmp thank you!
Just last week I lost 4 discus in a week the seemtems were same as explained in this video Tks for details
Thanks!
Thank you Marty!
This information came at a perfect time. Thanks George.
I gotta say this video was truly enjoyable to watch. Wonderful info, hard to find that. Your tank is amazing.

What is that yellow fish with the red tail?
@@bradsvoboda697 Yellow Phantom Tetra. Another great idea for a community Discus Tank
How did you get the sand in? Can you show or explain please?
I have 2 biomaster thermo but the leak i noticed was between the head unit and the canister itself and not from the heater
@@makoys.6775 I have had problems with both. The designers at OASE are working on why?
I just emailed them today, will wait for their replies.. since it is a weekend from my end, they’ll probably get back to me by Monday/Tuesday
I finally figured what was wrong with my filter, went on to investigate as soon as I got home from work.. a part of the intake/outlet chipped off… and it was leaking from there..
Where did you get that albino never pepper discus, please?
@@carver2667 Wattley Discus in Miami, Florida ask for Gabe
Can I buy 3 instead of 5?
@@kingston5885 I really don’t recommend anything less than five or seven
Did you paint the back of your tank black?
@@candygabbert8406 No! That is black Glass.
Do they like flow or slow moving water.
@@MDBD2405 they do well in all current. They stay along the bottom.
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto ok thank you for your answer.
Do you still use prime if you use OR water for water changes ✌️🇨🇦
Beautiful tank
He's so long winded
@@danabriseno8782He can be. He gets the information drilled in. Most people don’t pay attention or follow instructions unless you repeat it in the videos. I have had people tell me the opposite. Some say I did not make the video longer. I have been trying to streamline my videos in the past few months. I Get mail on my facebook page complaining the videos were better when I was using the style in this video. I encourage you to explore the channel. There is a lot of great information here. Again I am sorry if the style does not suit you. This channel is not for everyone in the hobby. I like to think that what I teach will get you past the problems that may have made you tune in originally. Thanks for the input.
Wow, beautiful! Really looking forward to seeing more content like this on your channel.
had some tetras that I was sure were doing fine, tank had 0 ammonia 0 nitrates….one day i decided my plants needed a little help with some fertilizer so i used seachem flourish and advance….the next day all 4 of my tetras were dead :(
@@GWRATH-wf4dm this is the first time I ever heard of that. Sorry to hear that!
I wiped out a colony 7 years ago. QT new discus for about 3-4 months and they were fine in their own aquarium. One day I decided to put them all together. All my original discus died within days. So now after a long time away from Discus I have started again but I got all my 3inch discus from the same place. That’s it. I’m done. I’m growing them out until they are all older enough to go into main aquarium and another. But I won’t be adding anymore discus to my house after last time. I always tell people now to get them all at the same time and be done with it.
Fantastic. I am looking forward to seeing where you go from here.
Great video. I am looking forward to the new content.

mine are false juliis. Im having a really hardtime with mortality rate for about 6 months now. About 50% dont make it 😢 ive bought from 4 different retailers. Trued treating for parasites, bacterial infections. Nothing seems to work. I read about self poisoning, & that could be a cause. Not sure but they are my favorite & im doing everything possible to try to figure it out. I hear this is common tho.. do you find this with juliis? Heavily planted tank, sand, all other species are thriving, even glass cats which can be sensitive. Only the juliis 😢
I never do only clean the noses once a month. If your canister is clogging you have to fine of media in it 👍
I’m gettin’ a Siamese algae eater for a 20 gallon but it’s only gonna be temporary to get all the hair algae I have a 55 gallon Southeast Asian biotope set up ready to be put together but I wanna move before I get it set up It’s gonna be the only fish in the 20 gallon tank with shrimp and snails
I have a pair of discus that laid eggs and now it’s almost 3 days and still not hatched, the eggs did not turn white, is there a possibility that they are not fertilised?
Yes, or you may have two females. Two females will often act as a mating pair in your community tank. Have they laid eggs and hatched in your community tank or in the breeding tank in the past?
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto thanks for the reply, I had this pair not long time ago and it’s my first time they lay eggs, my issue is the eggs are not turning white but they still did not hatch also
@@ZeeToxic depending on the Temp. In your tank they may take up to 72-80 hours

I've had my three (two zebras, one red racer) for two years now and they're still going strong. I never feed them (on purpose), they share their tank with many potential competitors: Malaysian Trumpet snails, ramshorn snails, Amano and cherry shrimp, and of course, the fish. In spite of this, they've continued to thrive and grow. Here's what I do different than most people: 1. I monitor my GH, KH and PH, and if I don't like what I see, I add a little mesh bag of aragonite to my filter for a day or two until things are more in the range of my liking. My water is naturally very soft out of the tap (most tests can't even read it accurately), so much so that most plants don't like it. I leave the bag in until the PH is 7.2 or higher. I do this as needed. I don't let it drop lower than 6.8. 2. I rarely change water. I usually just top off, and control nutrients by not overfeeding and removing excess plant growth regularly. Actively growing plants consume the most nitrate. I also don't vacuum my substrate, and when the other species of snails pass away ("Pest" snails seem to go through boom and bust cycles.) I don't remove their shells. They eventually break down on their own, leaving behind the calcium their brethren need. 3. I give my nerites access to wood (cholla and mopani fragments) and botanicals such as Indian almond leaves and alder cones. Nerites do like to eat wood and I've seen a few articles recommending keeping some for them. 4. I don't heat my tank. It ranges from 72 in the summer to 65 in the winter. Most tropical fish species are not as delicate as they're made out to be. They're exposed to those temperatures both in the wild and on fish farms. The species I keep tolerate that range, snails included. 5. My tank has been in operation since 2002. It's been moved three times. The only original parts are the glass tank itself and big pieces of granite I use for my hardscape. One of the fish descends from individuals I bought 20 years ago, as do the purple crypts and lucky bamboo (I grow it and pothos emersed for added nutrient control.) I haven't had to medicate it in at least a decade; well before I got the nerites. I do add liquid fertilizer once or twice a month if the plants look like they need it. It doesn't seem to bother the nerites. It currently has a mixture of aquasoil and blasting sand with a bit of gravel mixed in for color as a substrate. Substrate is nearly two inches deep at its shallowest point. I'm not sure if any of this makes a difference, just putting it out there. Meanwhile otocinclus are the algae eater I can't keep alive. They do very well until the consume all the kinds of algae they like to eat, then they starve. I only ever got one to eat something besides naturally occurring algae. That one lived for over a year reluctantly picking at algae wafers and other prepared foods. It completely ignored things like cucumber slices and other vegetables. However it died from the stress of the last move.
Hi these are beautiful! What offshoot wild type might these be labeled? Blue angels or?
@@oregonsnob31 these are Philippine Blue Angels.
I have like 20 nerite snails (possibly more) and the only way they die is when i found them outside the tank dry
