30 Gallon Freshwater Tank Update (German Blue Rams & Plants)

[PHtropicalfish]

just curious, what kind of light do you have on your 30 gal?

by the way, that tank is awesome

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@PHtropicalfish Coralife Aqualight T5, I have a whole video on it on my channel. And thanks alot!

[chrisplusFSN]

do you still have the fluval c3?

[ShadesofGrayness]

Looks like you have two male rams and a female in there! <.<

[Aquariumlover757]

i love your videos please do an update ! I have a 29 gallon planted with fancy goldfish, clown loaches and some pepper corycats. I really want to rid of my goldfish and get a pair of german blue rams, a red tail shark and maybe a school of cherry barbs. Do you know where i can get rid of my goldfish? Does your LFS buy your fish or will they only allow you to donate ?

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@Aquariumlover757 Sounds goood! And yeah almost all LFS will at least take the fish from you, some might give you a little credit but if not they will still take it from you. Good luck!

[ColinM0961]

Do another freshwater vid. please :) :D

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@ColinM0961 Comming up soon!

[ColinM0961]

@ThatFishTankMan63 Thanks, love the videos, and are crested geckos that easy to care for?

[PHtropicalfish]

nice tanks man

[ibeezranging]

I have had no luck with sterbais every time i buy them they die the first day :(

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@ibeezranging Same here! 2 out of my 3 died in the first 2 days

[chalktalk28]

hey are you selling that african leaf fish? im willing to buy to add to my 45gal tank

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@chalktalk28 Sorry I already sold it to my local fish store

[chalktalk28]

@ThatFishTankMan63 hey if your pleco got too big i would recommend a rio nigro pleco that only get up to 4 inches.... I have one and their pretty cool (yellow and black colors) you can get them off of live aquaria.

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@chalktalk28 Alright cool! Thanks for the suggestion!

[AwesomeAssassin1000]

bad decision bra cory cats dont live that long in gravel and there wiskers or barbels get worn down by gravel sand is the best for em

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@AwesomeAssassin1000 Hmm interesting you say that. But anyways 2 of the 3 already died, the second day

[AwesomeAssassin1000]

@ThatFishTankMan63 thats bad id love to have sterbai corys but i can never find them so i have 3 peppered cory instead which are awesome .but u probably should have got bronze cory if you realy wanted corys coz there the most hardy of all the species

[jagerbomb1fy]

I got one african leaf fish 2 angel 2 convict cichlids 3 tiger barb n 3 dwarf guarmois they all get a long fine. Although they all are semi agressive and only ones that are more agressive are cichlids but only on their territory

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@jagerbomb1fy Yeah all those fish arnt really compatible with each other

[MrHiphopattack]

Love ur vids, Keep them coming lol

[Tetra212]

I would reccomend Amano or ghost shrimp.You should probably get Amano shrimp because they are a little bit bigger and might not get eaten.Hope you get some, they really help :)

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@Tetra212 Haha alright thanks!! 

[xbmxdevilx]

Do your plants live with just a gravel substrate? i have just gravel and im noticing brown spots on my and holes in my swords and anubius :(

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@xbmxdevilx Mine do fine in just gravel, but do you have a thick layer? And also, do you put any plant food in your tank? Like I have liquid plant food in that I put in once a week. And your lighting also matters

[xbmxdevilx]

@ThatFishTankMan63 I have about an inch and a half... and no i dont put plant food in my tank... what kind do you recommend? And i have plenty of lighting!

[AquaStudent]

looks great! I think you're going to love the SAE. I've heard great things about them.

Do an update video solely for the GBRs colors

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@AquaStudent Thanks! And yeah Im defiantly gonna make a video on the rams and talk all about them

[Tetra212]

if you get shrimp they will sit on the anubis for hours and eat the algale

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@Tetra212 What shrimp would you recommend?

[asiandude666]

give the ram a while to fat up and color

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@asiandude666 Yupp! Their colors are already better than they were in this video now, a day later. Because i made that vid right after acclimation so they were still stressed. Im going to make another video of them later though.

[PHtropicalfish]

[Aquariums4Life]

[ThatFishTankMan63]

[TheNimoz]

@ThatFishTankMan63 preach it brother!

[Aquariums4Life]

@ThatFishTankMan63 not really lol just do 5 waterchanges and you will be fine!

[TheWhoafish]

those rams are SEXY

what type of anubius is that?

i always hear sterbai said like Stirbay

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@TheWhoafish Ikr! Im loving the rams!! And honestly im not sure what kind of anubius, i just know it is anubius lol. And yeah you can pronounce it however ya like 

[tony59059]

nice vid, I love rams 

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@tony59059 Thanks! Me to!!

[AhhMazingManny]

hey ! i have a 20 gal fw aquarium. already cycled & everything is fake in there except the fish & i reaaaly reeeaaaaaaaly want real plants. any ideas on where i should start? & what lighting will you suggest for the tank ? thanks ! you're awesomeee !!

[Aquariums4Life]

@AhhMazingManny lighting should be t8 or t5. you should dirt your tank and start out with anubias, jungle val, sag, banana plant, swords, hairgrass. Or pretty much whatever you see at a petco or petsmart because they are begginer plants.

[ThatFishTankMan63]

@AhhMazingManny Thanks! And yes you should get T5 lighting and it depends on how many plants you want, as in to which substrate to do. If your just wanting to add a couple live plants, like me, you can just stick with the gravel. But if your wanting to fully plant your tank you might want something else.
