The important thing is that you like it. I'm one of the guys who doesn't love the blue background because I think it looks too much like a pool wall, but we'll see how it looks when it will have algae on it.
A black background would've made the tank pop more IMO. Blue looks too much like a fish store
Definitely needs to be black
He’ll probably later experiment with an aquadecor background
Aquadecor is probably already working on a background to randomly send Joey's way.
🤷♂️ my LFS has black backgrounds
@@molokoko786 So does some I've visited. Mostly blue though. To each their own. I personally love the tank, black would just be what I'd do but that's just me.
The blue background is great and really makes the fish stand out without the tank looking dark.
the blue background makes it look like a fish store tank
Yes the algea will make it look like it needs to be cleaned
What about columbian tetras or bleeding heart tetra, the colors will compliment the Geos nicely!
a big school of silver hatchetfish would be really cool
The giant ones that get like 3.5 inches
Careful with Otocinclus. The Geos might try to eat them and end up with a hook in their mouth.
Can confirm
Took those words out of my mouth, I have 3 Congo tetras in my 75 gallon . They were babies and now there stunning
I put male congo tetras with my rainbowfish, always thought they went nicely together
Emperor tetra would be awesome in this tank with all those big fish
They might just be big enough. But no guarantee full grown altums wouldn't chow on them.
Hognose brochis would be cool to see in that big tank since they’re such a large cory catfish
the background colour make it look like a fish shop
Love the Canadian Tire bucket front and center, good job Joey!
2 things: Ingenious idea using media to anchor the plants. Also, thank you for the giggle referring to a 15 foot tank as a "normal" size tank😆
Love the blue back ground can't wait for it to bloom ruby tetras would look great too !
The Geos at the beginning of the video 😍
Rock background would look awesome.
Joey how are you today I hope you are feeling better now
Tank is coming along nicely! Can't wait to see it fill in
They look superb in there with that incredible blue background. Joey it's so beautiful. Peace.
Would love to see an aquadecor background to make the tank more realistic! 😊
Blue background is perfect for this tank. Fish always show better with blue, that why fish stores and aquariums use it. Black hides algee better. I would add pebbles to the areas where the sand has been washed away. It will help it look more natural.
I like how they look with the blue background.
Just gotta say it, I think the blue background is great.
When you were talking about doing new things building this tank you were abundantly confident that it would work and wouldn't leak... You've never talked about anyone teaching you how to do this so I'm guessing you figured it all out on your own. Did you ever have a tank building disaster? Leaks? Blowouts? (Well done btw, it's beautiful!)
WOW those Geophagus are huge, awesome!
Along with the Congo tetras, you must add Rose line barbs at least 20 they will sure complement this tank setup alot.
The piranha tank is my favorite and I want one like that.
It's good to see the gallery coming back into form. It was getting a bit chaotic there 😅
Those Geophagus are amazing.
I love the Congo Tetras! I have a school of albinos and always enjoyed them
Hundreds of white cloud mountain fish would be stunning!
I think you're right with the blue. Maybe a little darker. Congo tetras would be a perfect addition
i heard blue background make fish feel calmer, making them color up better
the geo's look great!
Anubias suction cupped to the back looks great great too. You could use the super glue or small zip ties with the clear suction cups that have the holes in them. I would get a kick out of it if you give that a try. It looks great put on the back of larger tanks. Think about Joey.😁
I think the background color is perfect
Congo tetras are beautiful, I’d pair them with a smaller tetra as well, possibly some scissor tails or rummy nose, if the geophagus won’t eat them lol… also love the idea of using bio blocks to secure the Java ferns, they should thrive in there with a good base to grow on and co2 to feed them
Love the blue 💙
Man, those geos are BEAUTIFUL. Nicely done.
Hello Everybody!!
Please keep the blue background. It looks Amazing!! The fish seem happy and colorful so why not love it?
I believe the background looks amazing and as you say once the plants establish the contrasting vista will be the bomb!!!
There is a reason fish stores use blue .... I agree with you
It will grow in ...👍
Those geo’s are fantastic looking fish.
A school of alestopetersius brichardi would be awesome! Available in a bunch of colors!
I think the blue background looks great
The blue background 🔥
Gives it an alive type look if ya get me
Those fish are looking great!
The aquarium looks amazing and I love the blue 🙏
Bleeding heart tetras are an awesome species of larger tetras as well!
It's your aquarium so you do you, do Congo tetras if you want, love them as a fish but continent mixing grinds on me, personally if they are available i'd go with Empire tetras (Nematobrycon palmeri) there some varieties like Wild, Blue, Purple, Black. Maybe get some Butterfly rams (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) to hang out amongst the wood and rocks cracks, maybe some Twig whiptail catfish (Farlowella acus).
I agree the blue is weird for me. However as time goes by it will look better when algae grows
How about putting a Texas Cichlid in with the Oscars or a few Jack Dempsey's.That would be awesome.
That tamaras tank looking like a tree ❤
Dennerli shrimp are amazing little critters
I love the blue background.
beautifull geophagus
Joey put Valliseneria in the background👌
Black devil shrimp are probably my favorite shrimp. All black with orange eyes is CRAZY
The Altum angels look great as well as the geophagus with their streamers are beautiful. Nice job Joey
A combination of Congo tetras, Roseline sharks and black neons for the Altum/Geo tank.
Okay, that blue is AWESOMENESS!! Do not listen to anyone else. Its great!!
100% to a huge pack of corydoras! I'd love to see that. Seems like people never have enough of those in their tank. I'd love to see a properly sized shoal.
Rummy nose tetras school really well and would work for the big tank.
Hey Joey could you keep the sunshine pleco with your puffer? you always talk about him eating the eggs
The 15 ft tank is better than your previous 8 tanks wall imo. Congo tetra and bleeding heart tetra would be awesome.
red flag tail would be a great addition
Geophagus are one of favourite fish. They look stunning
Those geophagus are pretteh!!
Love the blue background. It’s my favourite colour 💙
I'm definitely good with the blue and agree with algae will be perfect. Got to get me some Altums.
What about multiple species of Tetra? Maybe 50-100 black phantoms 50-100 red eyed tetras and 100 blue king tetras
The tank looks great! I have a suggestion for a schooling fish; the Rummy Nose Tetra (Hemigrammus rhodostomus)! In my experience, the best schooling freshwater fish for their size.
Maybe get 300 of those and add a somewhat bigger tetra with it? I think that would be awesome! 😄
Might not be big enough to avoid getting snacked on by adult altums.
Congo's great choice, Buenos Aires tetra could also work.
Gorgeous tank! Nice work. Chuck in a few Bristle nose pleco's???
Harlequin tetra, they would look amazing and stand out off that background
Congo Tetras tore up my planted tank…even went after the new growth on the Anubias
My favorite shrimp… is cooked shrimp😊
Love the tank but hate the blue . But it doesn't matter what i think it's yours but still badass bro.
Love the Geo Pegasus and they look pretty large it's neat to see them schooling with the angels good job I have been following your build ect
Those geo’s are amazing
We need some white cloud mountain minnows!!
I think some Vallisneria would look great in the back of the tank.
group of cory would amazing!
love the blue actually! be careful with ottos, the geos will eat them
the tank is EPIC don't stop
Ive had my altums in tanks with black backgrounds, and the black really made the reds and blue freckles pop on them.
I wasn't so sure about the blue, but when you mentioned how the angels would've looked washed out, I remembered back when I had my angelfish. At first I had them with a blue background in my 55 gal cause I wanted a change up. Eventually I didn't like how it stood out so I changed it to black to match with my other tanks. But I distinctly remember the anglefish loosing their bright colors and patterns. It didn't bother me cause I had grown attached to their personalities, but they did look way better with a blue background.
Black neons would look nice.
Beautiful tank Joey. And I think the blue background makes the tank its look stunning
16ft is looking Brilliant mate. Well done
Hey Joey! It looks amazing. One other thing I was thinking is getting the valesnaria near the output so it shimers and flows with the water. I feel like it'll compliment the angels and look striking against the algae--blue wall. Could possibly try soil bags and rocks with a sand cap so the geophagus cant uproot them? Looks great otherwise! Its great to see such a long tank!
Get a co2 reactor or a inline diffusor to remove or minimize the bubbles! Great job on this one bud🙌
You should put gold laser Cory’s and black Venezuelan Cory’s in the tank
yo joey wheres the other albino oscar?
They cooked him
Joey, I think that blue background will look great! I would go with Diamond Tetras in that tank
Love the blue. It gives it a depth and resembles the ocean. Also the best background for the fish you have.
Convince Tamara to get some Black Rose shrimp :)
The background is fine I think. It would look good with big leaf or large round leaf type anubias. I like the pop of the background. Black background is good but sometimes it doesn't pop the same. Please don't get to hasty with changing it. You just got it set up. Enjoy it for a while. Been watching you for years and bought your book ages ago. Even came to your defense and had words with a pudgy you tuber once 😂
Your new tank looks spectacular! Love the geos and angel fish. Lemon pleco too.
Doesn’t😂
