Agreed 💯

I'm sure tiny shrimp fry is not 100% safe from them, but if you have some cover for them (rocks, wood, plants), they'll be fine.

@HobbyScapesHQ good to know, thank you! I have an abundance of stem plants and small hiding spots!

Female Betas are less aggressive than the males, and even with males, sometimes you can pull off a community tank... usually, they're more aggressive towards their own species

Those are cherry Barbs, and she is a very chill lady 😅... she thinks she's one of them

​@@HobbyScapesHQthat's funny lol😂

😁

I'm not sure which plant you are asking about exactly

But you can find the setup of this tank in my long videos with plant names. All of them are easy plants that would do well in low-tech aquariums .

I never used food grade h2o2, but it should have the same properties (minus some stabilisers), so I don't see why it wouldn't work. If you decide to give it a go, please let me know the results ...

I'm using 6% H2O2 and doing 1,75ml/10 litres of water

No, that would be just unnecessary stress for them. It's safe to use with fish if you're careful not to go over the recommended dose

Nope. That's exactly 1.75ml/10 litres. Why do you think it's more?

@@HobbyScapesHQ it looked less but I've just watched it again and I got it wrong maths wasn't my strongest subject unless it was sports scores 👍👍

You're good, no worries 😅

They do best in soft, acidic water with ph bellow 7... if you have that, you'll be fine even if it's not a blackwater tank

@@HobbyScapesHQ no my water's around 7.5, how to bring it down?but I'll also be keeping shrimps will that be ok

You can use botanicals and wood to bring down ph, those will release tannins so you'll be on your way to a blackwater tank 🙂. I have shrimps with my chillis and they get along fine

I'm using liquid superglue and cotton pads for hardscape and superglue gel to attach plants.

And thank you 🙂

If you only want to keep 1, he should be fine. A bit bigger would be preferable, but if you already have the tank, go for it. Make sure you'll have plenty of plants in it.

🤫😅

I fully agree 👌

@@HobbyScapesHQ Beautiful video through and through. Thanks!!

Thank you! Appreciate it

It's a female Betta 🙂

😂 they look so alike

@eshantrathod3365 Yep 😁

So far, no issues at all... I would even say my Badis is are little shy

@@HobbyScapesHQ Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate that. 🐟

No problem at all. Good luck, and let me know how it goes

Thank you 🙂

Thank you very much! There is room for improvement, but I'm happy with how it turned out

Thank you very much! Really appreciate it 🙂

I do 👌

I'm trying to avoid sudden changes that can affect water chemistry as much as possible

Thank you very much! Appreciate it

Thank you!

That is duckweed... be careful what you wish for 😅. I would look for red root floaters or water lettuce instead...

I leave everything in the tank and do smaller areas at a time... I agree with you, It would be probably more stressful for the fish to move them out of the tank

I agree with you. They do look great . I feel like the "brand" ones are way too overpriced... so, for the moment, DIY is the way for me... not gonna compete with those, but will do the trick for me

I don't have CO2 in this one

wow how do you keep the plants growing mine is always dying😢

I'm using aquasoil, my tap water is very soft, and I'm keeping up with the water changes (most of the time). I'm convinced my tap water plays the biggest part in it

@@HobbyScapesHQ im using aquasoil too but still not succeeding, how often do you change water and what percentage 🙏🏻

@cjaymarriott I'm trying to be consistent with once a week, but sometimes it is 2 weeks... I'm changing around 30%

I'm pretty sure it's Kedagang

It will get there, slowly. I hope 😅

I did without issues. Just double-check the dosage before going ahead

Thank you very much 😊

It's Cryptocoryne Purpurea

Thank you!

It's matte black.

Thank you 🙂

I feed the otos algae wafers even when there's algae in the tank. When there's no visible algae, I do it more often.

110%

I just felt like white made a small tank look even smaller. White makes it look brighter, but black makes it look deeper. At least, in my opinion

It's a Week Aqua M450 D1PRO

I'm sure they're catching one here and there but never had major problems... it's possible.... but maybe there's another issue with shrimp? Maybe a disease of some kind?

I have wendtii compact and albida brown there

@@HobbyScapesHQ ok

I'm not sure... maybe. You might be better off buying something designed specifically for pond green water. It might be cheaper. I don't have any experience with ponds whatsoever.

That's a bit harsh... don't you think?

@@HobbyScapesHQ No. Bad reviews can seriously ruin a company's sale, so at least apply yourself before doing so.

It wasn't a bad review, tho... Like I said in the video... the snails are usually all over the shrimp food fairly quickly, but not this time... they might have been well fed... also, I'm also always open to a dialogue, but you went straight in with "delete your channel"

It's a good kind of struggle 😅

It's hygrolon. Very good at wicking water.

@@HobbyScapesHQ what type of stores sell it?

I've got it from a shop specialising in orchids, but you might be able to find it on easy as well
