    Used to have some of those one line pencil fish. Honestly my favourite fish I've ever has out of the 30+ species I've kept. Very active and fast moving fish! Was so dissapointed when they all slowly started jumping out of the tank. Had no idea what they were up until this moment because they were sold to me as "true" Siamese algae eaters..... lol searched everywhere to get more but could never find them because I had no idea what their actual name was and they also look like a lot of other fish when their young.

      @@martindollinger6244 over a year late. But... what do you mean how old? Pretty sure everyone just siphons the water into a bucket and dumps it straight onto their plants. I don't think anyone is throwing their aquarium water into a barrel to save.
      If you mean out of the tank, well, how old 8s the aquarium in that case. Anything less that 100% water changes means water from the first setup all the way to the very last water change is in there. If you're asking because of the tint to the water, that's the effect of tannins from driftwood/dead leaves placed into the tank, not age of the water.

    Nice to see how it works: no overfiltering, just a bubbeling bit dirty spongefilter and not to much light. It keeps the micro organism in abundance and ready for the take. Superfood 24 hours a day. A good amount of dirt and plant litter helps creating lots of it for the very tiny but hungry fry.
    I'm using a special micro organism set up: a 5 gallon tank, twelve hours per day light, old water and dirt out of the pond, some dirt (leaves, branches) and soil out of the garden, some waterplants, and no filtering. Permanent clouds of ready to use infusiora are the result. It's surprising and interesting to see the development of al sorts of life in this microfood tank. The feeding of fry with a seringe is very easy. No development of parasites to be seen yet.

  • @marcdunord
    @marcdunord Před 2 lety

    you could use less powerful air pumps for this set up if you raised the sponge filters until their tubes almost reach the surface; the bubbles raising to the surface after they leave the tube don't help the filter to suck with additional power. Or you could use longer tubes and fewer bubbles per filter and they would deliver the same suction per filter as you get now with many more bubbles.

  • @weiji1380
    @weiji1380 Před 5 lety +2

    it is quite common for Nannostomus species to pick on others (either on their own kind or on other Nannostomus species or even just simply on other speices) in the tank. One line pencil fish has this behavior quite prominently and especially towards its own kind. it could be possible for an individual of the kind to get attacked by others in a tank to eventually cause its death. therefore personally it is not quite encouraged to keep a bunch of them in a rather small environment.

    I use the water on my succulents and Cactus 🌵 and it definitely helps them vs. my tap water which is treated at the local water plant. The tips of the leaves always burnt using tap water and that has stopped since using my fish water. If I have to use my tap water I treat it with the water conditioner I use for the fish.

    That is some hardcore fish keeping, Brother. Hardcore and impressive!! It would be interesting to learn more in regard to how Regina runs her fish room. It appears that she uses a very natural method. Basically runs on air and relies on plants to remove nitrates. Do you know how often she does water changes as part of routine maintenance?

    I do think that Nannostomus marilynae (Green stripe pencilfish) spawns the egg scattering way. Have once observed mine having breeding behaviors, but didnt get to see them actually breed. but since there was no plants in my tank I do think they dont really need plants as the place for them to lay eggs. Although quite interestingly, the Nannostomus eques could also show breeding behaviors in a tank without any plants

    • @LRBaquatics
      @LRBaquatics  Před 5 lety

      Ive actually used to have really high ph and my tap water is high ph just dont use it. Its not really hard to keep stuff in it and can surprising keep more in it than you think. The problem lies more in the hardness of the water and if the fishes internals like kidneys and or what not could malfunction due to excess mineralization or even could have issues with their external slime coats. It really depends on where the fish comes from and is used too. Now too acidic of water could prolly be more problematic for more fish, beneficial bactera, and plants than hard water.

    Greetings from Madrid and excuse me for the silly question. I immediately noticed a change in the color of the tanks when you arrive at the "cold water section". The tanks look brighter, more whiteish/blueish. It is just because of the decor/plants in the fisrt section or do they have different lights (t5 vs leds maybe?)

      @LRBaquatics  Před 4 lety

      Really its could be expanded to daily or monthly or more of a fish room. Main thing is too just make sure it doesnt get too sterile. Water volume turnover is mostly for speed of growth within fish and plants. I do recall her schedule but this is what I have learned with mine.

    When you add the Latin name of the fish to your videos, remember that the second word of the name is never capitalized. It also gives a sense of authority to your work.
