I bought a house in April that came with a bunch of comet goldfish in a pond. Small ones, big ones, fancy tailed ones. So I learned about fish keeping. Then I wanted an aquarium, so I got a free 10 gallon from a friend. Used my pond goldfish to cycle the tank with plants and realized goldfish are jerks with plants. lol So now I have a dwarf neon blue gourami and 6 cherry barbs. I put those gold fish back in the pond. LOL
You should get a few neocaridina shrimp, they come in more colours and are almost as hardy as the amano shrimps. The red, orange or yellow ones would match your goldfishes haha.
Cheers from my fish room channel in Chicago, where I'm happy to subscribe to yours. Dwarf Neon rainbows would be great in that tank. Also, a lid isn't critical for amano shrimp. i have dozens in all my open tanks. maybe one jumper in 2 years. happy fishkeeping new friend!
@@Batmancontingencyplans hygrophilas are still about the same size. They grow well floating but so far slow growth while planted. I’m wondering if I got a smaller variety. I might try some root tabs.
@@doug9116 I put the volcanic rocks on top of the Fluval. But you could also put it underneath as long as you don’t have fish who would move the clay balls around.
shrimp are the cutest!

@@Blakhawk1703 yeah goldfish love plants but plants don’t love goldfish 😀

@@jasontan7523 I’ve been thinking the same thing. Never had shrimp before so it’ll be interesting.

@LushSaltyAquariums Thanks. I totally agree. Some blue eye rainbows would look great in there as well 😉
Can we get update on giant hygro?

May I ask do you put rocks in prior to the Fluval? Or you can put rocks on top of the fluval?
