- Planted nano cube aquarium got new fish Honey gourami (Trichogaster chuna). I removed all the adult white pearl shrimps and only shrimplets will remain in this aquarium. Mr. Honey was initially confused after being added to the new environment. He is in my care for almost 6 months and I got him as a baby fish.

I love Trichogaster chuna 😍, one of underrated fish in our hobby in my opinion .
Couldn't agree more!
Mr. honey is very handsome! Thank you for sharing this beautiful video! I don’t know how you make everything seem so lovely, you just have a magic touch. 😍
Thank you very much.
It is interesting to me too that gourami’s can easily be kept solo in smaller tanks, of course they better have space to swim around as they’re quite active like mine in a 60l tank but they’re so easy to keep. Mine shares it with a dwarf gourami that is very interesting and super smart, they get along rather well
@@juli8vdberg562 they are cool fish. I kept them in aquariums ranging from 30L to 160L. And they are quite social and with whatever fish I kept them (Apistogramma, Tetra, Rasbora, etc...) they always got along well.
@@IMaqua I agree… I saw some videos on how to care for them, they all say they don’t like strong flows or like streams by hob filters, but I see both my gourami’s hang out a lot under and around the filter and love the flow in fact… honey gourami is shy and distant while dwarf one is really like a puppy asking attention all the time
The moment of realization and him struggle to get original food at the bottom is so cutee
Also congrats for 10k subs! It will be a long journey ahead, and I'm here for it.
Thanks for being there for this part of the journey.
Very cute and beautiful fish! And now your channel is about to have 10k subscribers, congratulations!
Thank you very much!
I am away from home and miss looking at my tanks and seeing your videos helps me to do that exactly. Congratulations on 10 k I wish you reach more subscribers. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching.
Has your honey done anything to the shrimp or is he/she just a peaceful baby?
He tried to hunt them. He got some but when I was tearing down aquascape I found a lot of shrimps hiding.
Lovely scene. Just question, do Mr Honey really see shrimplet is food? How about bigger shrimp?
Yes he does see them as a food. He is a predator and I am sure he will chase them but shrimps are good in hiding so hopefully few of them survives.

Thanks for compliments.
What stone is used ?
Full name is in the build video (EP1). If I remember correctly it was something like petrified wood stone.
Thx. for sharing light intensity, I know a lot depends on the light used etc ... but I was wondering how you kept the tank (almost) free of algea and the plants in good health. I'm struggling with that in my main tank but in a small tank with some plants and snails and slow growing plants I have the intensity at 20% and like yours I was surprised that it remained free of algue (some on the glass every now and than) while plant growth is steady.
I did avoid algae growth but because of lower light intensity but the plants are also growing slower. So it is always a game of "balance". Now that I bumped up intensity I hope the plants will to continue to grow just a little bit faster. I find that every aquarium is a different system and what works in one doesn't necessarily transfer to another aquarium. Most of LED aquarium lights on the market today are too strong. In most of my aquariums I used anywhere from 10-20% brightness; I rarely go above 50%.
@@IMaqua My experience as well that every aquarium is different. I had a 45l with a 'white' light and plant growth was excellent. When I placed those plant in my new 125l they were no longer able to settle and died off. i was using the same substrate as in my 45l so I guess its the light/depth of the tank. I now have a standard Juwel (no CO2) and I have to keep an eye on algea not running out of control. Light I have on it is the Juwel HeliaLux with white, green and red at 80%, blue on 35% but stem plant growth remains a challenge. Also I have nitrataes around 10 for fear of algea growth if I go any higher, that may impact stem plant growth as well. BTW I have a lot of floating plants to also manage 'balance'.
@@Dassenkop I guess all this is the interesting part of this hobby; no two tanks will ever be the same. As much as I hate floating plants during maintenance they are useful especially during cycling phase.
