I ordered them right before you put up the video about the free betta holograph. Was hoping to get one in my order but didn’t get one :( love the stickers though!!
@@jeremiahlindale9373 dang my b, if you ever order again remimd me in the order notes and ill hook it up BIG TIME 🥰
Thanks man! I love the videos and the stickers!! I will be ordering again for sure!
You can put the food in pill dividers so you can control the quantity been fed to your fish by someone else
That's what we do here. We use the seven day a week pill containers with food portioned out to each day of the week and I have two tanks that can't be fed daily I leave those days empty. It is so much easier than trying to explain what tank gets what and which days they don't get fed. We mark a number on the aquarium with a sticky note and the same number on the pill box so there is no confusion over which tank gets which container.
What a good idea.
Something I should say you should never do (I am calling myself out on this lol) is to leave your plant trimmings that you want to replant outside without covering them with a damp towel or misting them. I left some trimmings of rare plants that I wanted to propagate, and forgot about them. The next day the leaves looked like the ones you would find on the floor during the fall; completely dried out, and a complete waste of plants. Mist your plants, or cover them with a wet towel! Better yet, fill a piece of tupperware with water, and put them in there!
Regarding vacation, just have the food laid out. Could do it in a pill organizer. The don't even need to think, just dump in Mondays section on Monday.
Thats a legit aquarium hack!
For vacation feeding I bought a ton of these little make up jars. I think it was like $15 for 50 of them and I fill them with the exact amount of food for each tank and put them in front of the tank with the days labeled. Makes it super easy for whoever is taking care of my fish and I don't have to worry about it.
My husband knows NOTHING about my aquariums, I mean NOTHING!!!! So when I took a trip I used pill keepers for my fish food. He only had to open each one on the right day and dump it into the tanks. No room for error! I'm sure my fish missed their frozen blood worms and my plecos missed their fresh veggies, but they got fed every day and they were all alive when I got back! :-)
I really love this idea. I’ve got a couple of princesses that refuse anything not frozen (my engineer goby is a real brat about this). I suppose you could also have a matching pill container in the freezer depending on what you think your designated feeding person could handle...
I love my pink rams horns. Since I have dojo loaches in the tank, and they eat all the eggs they find, I thought I'd never have an overpopulation problem with them. But they seem to have found enough ways to hide their eggs behind filters or deep inside of clumps of plants to occasionally produce a bumper crops of babies. Some of them manage to escape the loaches and mature, so I find that I need to cull them about every 6 months, but I would never wish to get rid of all of them.
Yes! Snails keep themselves in balance. I am pining away for a dojo loach. Fingers crossed!
Good tips here, I’m curious when we are going to see more of your out of the box thinking type tanks, like the desert, Avatar etc.
Sand waterfall ???? 🤔🤔🤠🥳
Desert was pretty cool, very unique.
The upside down tank
'dont trust non fish people to feed your fish' y e a h. I'll trust a automatic feeder more then my family with my tank 😂
We have a large reef tank and actually pay maintenance people to feed every two days and do maintenance, ATO fill-up, and water change as needed. We factor the cost in the holiday budget. While this seems least stressful for the tank and for us, we also don’t want to stress out a family member who may not know something is wrong and will feel guilty.
The sound of water hitting the floor. I’ve experienced it more often than I wish to admit 😂
oh me too...every Sunday. ;-)
@@mountainhobbit1971 😂 I get it. It instills fear when I hear that sound 🥶
@@missmermaid6249 oh definitely and sometimes even some choice bad words!
Good tips, I'm a bit skeptical to the snail tip. Like everything else they will live in balance with your tank. If you get an explanation of them there is something else going on.
I see them as a part of the cleanup crew.
with too many years of fish keeping under my belt I STILL fill my cube open-topped tanks to the brim and I STILL forget when I put my arm in there. Oh well. Someday I will learn. ;-)
Hahahah yur not alone!
Not trying to be that guy but the 3rd one is kinda meh mate, not trying to spread hate but should've put that one at the end of the vid instead and added an actual helpful info on the list just sayin'. Love your content though man and keep up the great work!
I have a little tip for vacation feeding! I used to work at a fast food place and I took home a bunch of those condiment to-go cups, so now when I leave for vacation I can set out exact portions for day-by-day feeding, and the food doesn't go stale since there's a lid.
Im a 70's child. Of course I would love a holographic betta cling on! Sounds like a crazy Star Trek episode. And that tip of too much water? NOW you tell me. I always do that, pump out some water, do my thing, add the water I need back in. 🤦🏻♀️
I have a number of tanks and the inhabitants have different dietary needs. The person who feeds the fish when I am away has no knowledge at all but he always feeds exactly the right amount of the right food to each tank. I take the right amount of food for each tank and freeze it in ice cube trays then put each different type in a plastic box in the freezer and each box is numbered and corresponds with the numbers I write on the tanks. All he has to do is to take one 'ice cube' from the correct box and put it into the correct tank and it is always the correct amount and type of food.
Fish jumping out when the water level is too close to the rim is another issue.
Stickers are dope.
Never pull plants out and not expect water column to change. Algae bloom?
I used to live near the ocean and would just come home and dump them into my cichlid tanks.
Loved this! that was some helpful tips! take care!
Might I add to this that you need to arrange some form of backup? I spent nearly a week away from the home & when I came back I had an algae outbreak in my poor 10 gallon tank due to the light being on the whole time. Have yourself a backup so that your fellow earthlings are living their best life; even when you’re not there…
I had someone look out for my tanks while on vacation, I took water bottle caps and put the food in there for them to just dump in! Labeled them monday Wednesday firday. Worked perfectly!
Beautiful stickers. I love the cardinal tetras. 💕
Yes I want one of those awesome betta holographic sticker!! I love collecting aquariumcoops stickers and making them into magnets. I will need to get yours too so I can do the same! How cool
Awesome! About to have them all in magnet form as well👍👍👍
@@AQUAPROS thats awesome. Maybe ill wait loo
It stresses me out when you demonstrate water overflowing 😂 love this channel
The stickers look great, nice simple graphics. The holographic betta looks awesome good job
🥰🥰🥰
Your fish tanks are awesome they are so cool!!! It’s like looking into a different world (a very beautiful one.)
5:45 I think he has spider mites on his bamboo.
1:15 I find this fascinating.
Underwater exploring.
I wish you would show us more in the future.
I didn't giggle the whole way through the wood section, you giggled all the way through the wood section! 😂
And you dont want to throw frozen food in WARM water, always COLD water
When I first set up my beta tank I put wood from the river in it. Next thing I knew the tank was getting a bad smell the water was turning green from the tannins and I had a outbreak of planaria and detritus worms. All those things are gone now that I pulled the wood out
Great thoughts!
Wanted to buy some stickers the other day but found you don’t ship to New Zealand - is shipping here gonna happen any time soon?
Nice content !!!! Keep it Up!!
With the food I get a week pill/medication box with the day compartments and put the exact amount of food in for each day haha I’m super particular with my fishies 😂
My fish blackmoor got white film on it fungus can you help for treatment what to do thankyou
In 30+ years of fish keeping i have only used hardscape materials i find in nature because of how expensive they are to buy. Never had any problems.
For vacation, put how much food you want fed to your tank in one of those Pill containers that have a compartment for each day. Have them open whatever day it is and dump in the tank.
5:43 i can’t tell for sure, but i think there’s spider mites on that bamboo.
I was hoping it's just a spider. Spider mites are such a pain.
I was about to comment this! Sure looks like it to me. And from what I can see it's on a couple to the left of it at well, and it's just going to keep spreading.
I actually like all the comments about using a pill organizer for food. Kinda brilliant!
Is there a video in the wine glass shaped tank. I would love to get one
definitely alot of info you need to learn when i first started I use sandstone lol learned my lesson there
Really good tips but personally do use wood that just sit outside, tho i am picky about it but i still sand them down and boil them myself
If you have shrimp in a small tank especially a shallow tank and you fill it too high its easy for them to climb out I've had that happen to me
You can get micro measuring spoons for the food.
Great tips! Where did you get you White Cloud Mountain Minnow?
Ooo man, local fish store 2 years ago? 🙃
Love the vids keep it up 👍💯
You should upload more often if you can 👏
Ill try!
Good information
Hello Aquapros i can i ask a question ?
next month I will set up a planted tank i have a wood that looks like a tree the plant that im gonna put on the wood is monte carlo
can i ask what liquid ferts do i need to keep the monte carlo stay alive even in wood
thanks Btw in Newbie Thanks :)
Pretty much any liquid all in one fert will do fine, co2 is the most important factor for MC
@@AQUAPROS Thanks it help alot :)
@@AQUAPROS is Iron and Potassium okay?
@@gab421 ya, but id go with an all in one, not just P and Fe
@@gab421 *K
Auto feeder is ok if you only have display tanks, gonna be hard for me to find someone to hatch bbs and culture waterworms........probably easier making sure I've no fry before going on holiday.
Wow those stickers look awesome! I want one
You can put the amount of food that they should feed the fish on that day with what day on it that they should feed them for when you have some one doing it for you
Snail, say hello to my little loach. Bahahahahaha.
True! Or puffer ;)
Groovy Beta sticker! Yeah, I'm a 70's kid too!
If you have ph concerns, be careful with rocks that you put in.
This also goes for areas that have heavy metals. I lost all the inhabitants due to putting lake rocks in that ended up having high iron content.
Edit: never release unwanted aquarium inhabitants out in the wild!!!
I accidentally let a 16 oz sheet of blood worms sit out over night in my fish room, totally forgot to put it back in the freezer. it was still like half full, huge waste, was super mad at myself lol it was also really gross, they turned totally black, i didn't dare open it xD
Week pill box with a mount of food. 1 for each tank and 1 day and 1 for night
Oh I soooo want a holographic betta sticker. Looks awesome
Anyone ever use hedge for your tank? I have some cool looking pieces from a dead tree. I think it should be okay since it is a very hard wood. They have been using it for fence post here in kansas forever!
Lol your thumbnail looks like your fishtank just snuck up on you 😂
I want snails, but I can never seem to keep them alive, even ramshorns :(
Good video your tanks are beautiful
Ah, yes...Get a lovely piece of wood for your tank and boil it. NOW, how on earth is that going to fit into my largest saucepan? Even if I have only one 3ft. tank ... I don't have a pan big enough. Any ideas, apart from breaking it?
Good video - thank you.
Use pill containers that have each day of the week to put the food in
Man Can you aqua scape a tank. 🌟🌟🌟
Have you ever heard of someone putting a shed off deer antler into a tank? I live in southern Maine and I have a nephew who collects deer and moose antler sheds and have always been curious about using a smaller one as aquarium decor- deer not moose, a nose antler is WAY to big!
I cant see there being really any issues with that... It has crossed my mimd to try that actually
I always pre portion and tell them exact dates and times to feed.
My dad with his own initiative gave 2 boiled egg yolks into my 30cm aquascape tank which caused my fishes dead when I took vacation 4 days. So sad
😥
Automatic feeder works in case of going out on holidays
Would you be able to ship stickers over seas to the UK, I'm more than happy paying for it, the julii corydora stickers are absolutely stunning.
Shipping to UK is up amd running
@@AQUAPROS then I'm defo buying some on payday. Thank you.
@@adamwaind5057 no, thank you! Ill throw in some extras for ya ;)
@@AQUAPROS payed in 9 hours.
@@AQUAPROS order has just been placed. I'm so excited.
Guess I missed out on the free holographic sticker. 😭 Great video though!
Just make a note of it in the order notes, ill throw one in for ya ;)
Are those mugs still for sale?
Im workin on a re-vamp of all that stuff, ill keep ya posted 👍👍👍
What rack is that?
Uhhh some random shelving from lowes 🥳
I would always wash my plants first and then soak them to see if any is left on them never had a problem
magnets for the fridge would be cool
I love bladder snails. Free clean up crew.
I like the stickers, would love one but don't live in your country
I did the filling up too much one it sucked
Fish Very good
Correct 🤠
No intro. Who do I know who you are thIs time? Fish tank Mike or just Mike?
🤔🤔🤔🤪
Assissan snails don’t breed that quickly, they are very different form rams-horns and bladder snails because they have 2 genders and cannot procure a-sexually. I haven’t had any problems with assissan snails breeding out of control. And most pest snails are very good because they eat and breakdown extra food and dying plant matter which helps in keeping your tank clean.
I've been trying to keep fish for years but they just keep dying! Now I know why; I've never bought any fish stickers!

If you tell them never do it how would they learn. If you don't do it you'll never learn it that's how you gain experience in things you have to fall to get back up.
Dude I' Sorry for your lost...
Yes i know exactly what you're talking about..
Need. Sticky. Need sticckkky lol
So 5 things to never do. Got it
first
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
👍💓👍
Always a climate your fish
How's the greenhouse doing
Its ok, I heat the water so the fish are happy but the greenhouse as a whole gets pretty chilly :(
I want theeeeem
I would have definitely added this NOT to do to your tank: do NOT overcrowd your tank with inhabitants. Or add too many at once. Ammonia spike will definitely happen!
An overcrowded tank makes me feel anxious. I’d never do well with African cichlids. 😆
😱
Mor*n
Your loosing fish every time you trust someone to feed your fish
Oo I’d love to put that halo graphic on my beta tank 🥴
Tja sieht ja teilweise echt übel aus :-)
Hands washed with soap
Never do # 7, shameless plug for merch
Gotta do watcha gotta do...🤪
