New video of my Brackish 125gallon fish tank

[1997xboxgamer]

This looks awesome man I love it! Is this a 55 gallon? If so I have the same size tank and I'm gonna pick up a black tip catfish(idk what it's called) or it's a white tip catfish

[LUKEKANEPAPICHULO]

aye man whats up with the box in your tank whats that for?

[MrJMAC85]

I am extremely jealous of this tank! I want to do a brackish tank this size or maybe a little bigger in the next few years. My current 37gal brackish tank allows for little wiggle room, and my scats deserve better. This is a gorgeous set up. Good work!

[themaxxray]

What a busy brackish tank. Feeding time must be result in a mad feeding frenzy. I've always prefered a lazy tank filled with gobies as my base fish. Don't listen to people about the puffer. In an large active tank with large shoaling fish, the puffer is not a threat. I only found puffers a threat when there numbers are great and are the dominate feeders

[charliehelga]

When the GSP gets bigger he will attack the other fish.

[HeidiSurette24]

0:21 Look at the little black fish in the corner lol

[ALNEAL]

@HeidiSurette24

That is a black molly. It is not suitable for a tank with much larger and more active monos and scats, even though the owner seems to know his subject.

[vijomyda]

hi can moolies live in pure salt water

[awytkidwit2lastnames]

just a suggestion try puttin a piece of driftwood in there that sticks outta the water and put a cricket on it and see what the archer fish does:D

[animalpassion777]

Nice col. shark!

[ThisEvilMan]

hey everyone check out my fish videos please thanks

[M0Etivation]

what is the highest scat will tolerate?

[FishTankFanatic]

Whats brackish?

[MrJMAC85]

its pretty much half salt and half fresh, but it can lean either way, depending on the fish

[tnutty222]

it is a mix of salt and fresh water

[qwes14]

nice tank man

[trainkid12]

are you sure that is a spotted puffer and not a figure 8 puffer?

[bananatree94]

rainbows can be brackish?? weird... i have two just like urs in fresh and im thinking about making the tank salt water again (as it used to be) but maybe ill try brackish... but im gunna read up on the rainbow thing first just in case urs didnt make it...no offense

[jay942942]

I think all rainbows can be kept in brackish, just keep it low.

[bananatree94]

huh thats odd..

[jay942942]

Not really, naturally they are hard water alkaline freshwater fish and salt water is naturally hard water and alkaline anyway, so as long as the salinity is low (SG 1.005 max they should be fine.)

Celebes rainbowfish will tolerate higher than 1.005 as they are partially-brackish.

[Nightmareee918]

cute catfish, get 2 more and he'll be super happy :D

[lorelome]

GSPs don't belong in community tanks.

[jester50187]

Who told you this and what kind of expertise do you have in fish keeping.

[lorelome]

Many fishkeeping friends, some who have kept fish for over 30 years, told me this. I also had a bad experience in which my juvie GSP nipped my five other fish until they developed fin rot in the raw areas and died.

[JoseDepacos]

@jester50187 Apparently he knows more about that puffer than you do. Do some research.

[fuzzman25]

well aperently hes doing well

[JoseDepacos]

@lorelome Any puffer enthusiast knows this. He apparently does not.

[Squadron0o0]

love the ruby scat, shame it will lose some of its beauties when it grows up =/

[fishexpertonline]

With your archer fish, do you feed it small insects so it can jump out of the water? In the wild this is what they would do.

[jester50187]

yes crickets

[jayson11345]

howbig have ur scats gotten?

[jester50187]

when I got them they where just over, a size of a quarter, very small. Feed allot of Veg matter they love orange ,zuccani and red alge sheets. I feed them veg and fruit matter first, second with a highier protien matter fish food such as dried shrimp pellet, spectrum color , wadley marine color flake . It is very important that they don't eat to much protien. They are grazers naturaly and have a crazy appitite .

[arioncabasa]

thnx!

[arioncabasa]

i have no idea whats the name of that fish...is that an angelfish??that redfin heheh... i have one..

[jester50187]

They are Monos a brackish/marine fish. What did you mean by red fin, the cat fish cause the cat is a jordani

[DR117]

thanks jester50187, by the way can the malawi fishes go in a 30 gallon and live comfortable?

[jester50187]

well it is not just the fish size it is also that you will need yo put lots of rock(caves) and gravel which takes up allot of space also

[jester50187]

You would be better off starting with a 50 to 75 gallon but you could get away with a 30. The problem is that they are aggressive fish. You need to keep in a small school of fish so they can spread there aggregation and have alot of caves

[jester50187]

Malawi tank

Temp: 75-80

Ph 7.8-8.6

You can use a aragonite sand or crushed coral to keep ph level

[DR117]

what is the difference between brackish water and freshwater,and what if I put freshwater fish in the brackish, would they die, please reply.........................­.........

[jester50187]

Yes they will die. There is salt in a brackish tank and the ph is also higher. There are many fish that can handle low salt levels and the use of Aquarium salt can be used when treating fish that are ill ,it will be at you local fish store.(that is not marine salt) If you want to start a brackish I can give you a some advice on fish and water perimeters.

[lovejess12]

i like the big one what is it?

[jester50187]

it is a Whitetip Catfish(Arius jordani) it will get alo bigger in time

[jester50187]

you should put a video of your tank on

[jester50187]

a new video a little better then the last one you can see all of the fish now
