Nice, I what is the male to female ratio you get? I'm assuming you're breeding. From the video it looks like the number of females outnumbers the males.

@atomicman4 Yes I breed them. I don't know my exact ratio but there are at least 5 females to one male in my tanks.

looks good but having more plants wouldn't be bad.

nice.....

how do you keep the glass clean of algae?

[ForumBoosters]

Use a Mag-Float every few days.

Very clear water. Just like JaredK511, I think the current may be too strong for the small endlers. You may consider tying a foam at the inlet if you want to keep some fry. I am pretty sure you will get some fry in a matter of time.

The current you see at the surface is because the outtake of the canister filter is aimed at the surface, not in the tank. Also, the fish stay away from the intake and the fry always stay in the plants until they get a bit larger.

very nice! you sure do love those amazon swords don't you?? hahah.

and I would maybe lower that water pump a little. it seems like the current is a bit strong for freshwater.

You're going to get a lot of evaporation.

[ForumBoosters]

I actually don't. Only about 3 cups a day.

[druxboyz]

lol, 3 cups a day is a lot to me :)

[ForumBoosters]

LoL It doesn't seem like much to me.

[druxboyz]

Nice setup!. I've always had a hard time keeping those plants. I like your otto!
