really nice tank. you said in a comment not to over feed the fish . how do you know how much to feed them because when i feed mine they go nuts and pretty much eat all of it . so im not sure if i should keep feeding until they stop eating or do they eat the food from the bottom later? i just started my aquarium so i wanna make sure i keep my fish in a great living condition so any other advise you could give me would be great. thanks.
Hey you will soon start lossing your live plants because the clown loaches will start eating your plants. if you feed them small cut celery they will stop.
iluv ur tank so nice luv the plants i luv how u do real plants instead of fake ive always done fake cuz they last longer no upkeep & such & such. i love ur tank i've done 5 gal tanks b4 but been meaning to upgrade2 30 gal tank for 5 goldfish & skulls
Not sure if somebody commented on this but research those plants that are in the cylinders. A good 90% of them are not fully aquatic plants and will eventually rot.
nice tank, I would throw some small java fern or crypts up front or in the front left corner. Awesome tank, but why not pick up a 2.5 or 3 gallon tank for the male betta. You can keep some red cherry shrimp or ADF's in there and it would make an awesome planted nano.
Good job throwing out a reminder to people about clown loach's adult sizes.
An ADF won't eat living fish, but and african clawed frog will eat them live.

hey man need your help can u tell me how do u keep ur water so clean i do 25 to 50%water changes every week but it looks like everytime i clean it get worse and other thing i have real plants too but they get like a algae all over do you know what am i doing wrong and nice tank by the way hope u write me back thanks
@jvucket It could be a number of things. Make sure that your water quality is in check, that your nitrates and phosphates aren't too high, that your filter is working properly and you are giving it regular cleaning and maintenance, that you are vacuuming debris from the gravel bed, that there isn't too much light over the aquarium, that you aren't overfeeding the tank, or that the tank isn't over stocked. Water changes aren't the only things that need to be done to keep the tank clean.
@quaqa88 Clown loaches really do eventually grow to be rather... large... Ours is about 3 or 4 inches and going strong still after 3 years being away from Walmart, and apart from that, they will bully corie catfish, and sometimes eachother, if there are more open waters. You however have plenty of places that they could control, so that's nice.
Personally, I love the Rasboras, and I reccomend the ghost shrimp, they may distract that frog of yours, lol.
@jvucket Sorry to but in but you should also do only about a 20 percent water change every week to make sure that you arent interrupting the tanks cycle or stressing the fish with too much new water.
Have you slowly established your tank, by adding a couple fish at a time over a period of several months? It could be that your biofilter (that the good bacteria live on, that keep your tank clean) is having to work too hard to keep up. If that's the case, you'll need to remove fish and keep the population low until the water is consistently clear and your nitrite/ammonia levels are reading 0. Then introduce a couple fish every few weeks until you reach the desired number.
Hey, if you have a lot of plants in your tank, can fish feed off of it if your not home, and if not what product can i use to feed my fish while im gone?
dude i love that tank!! lol but im about to get a 30 because my goldfish in my 20 are getting to big any tips on how to maintain 30 gallon water clean?? please reply!!! =)
Marvelous tank! I have some questions. What kind of filtration do you have on this tank? The water is clean. I couldn't see if you had a C02 system on there I guess the fish makes enough of it in there. What kind of light you'd recommend? Thanks for posting! Keep 'em coming! =^]
its long i believe. i've seen one similar. the long tanks are better for little fish that swim in schools. but for fish like oscars or piranha or pacu's your gonna want a tall tank
Yea I have seen clown loaches get pretty big as well. However I to have a 30 gallon tank. When we first bought our tank we bought a baby pleco he was 2 in. 3 years later he had grown to a foot and we donated him to the zoo here in cleveland, he is on display,he is now 4 feet long!
why is your betta seperated? poor him.. cant he be with the other fishes? Maybe you should get a seperate bowl for him because I think he feels like you are teasing him. He wants to swimm with the other fishes but he cant :( I doont know really but to me he looks sad.
My plants are all rooted into the gravel with no pots. Pots, as well as metal/rubber bands, that hold the plant's roots together should be removed from the plant when it is added to the aquarium. This is because when these roots are bundled together as so, they cannot "breath" and it does not take long before they start to rot and the plant dies.
i think im restricted because my aquarium has an undergravel filter, so i dnt think i can grow plants, i tend to buy plants bundled together wen i buy them and place them into the gravel, but they tend to over time, fade away and i then replace them, any hints or tips for plants wiv an undergravel filter??
@coggie88 hey if they wire is still attached to the plants bundling them together, that might be strangling the roots which causes the plant to struggle and die
That plant you are talking about isn't an aquatic plant. It is a land fern falsely advertised as a aquatic plant. It just needs moisture. Although it doesn't do too bad in the water. But if you take it out now it won't live long since its been in the water.
I beg to differ that Water Wisteria is indeed an aquatic plant. One of the obvious ways you can tell that a plant is aquatic is whether or not it holds straight out of the water. Plants like Cobomba and Water Wisteria are flimsy and flop over when taken out of the water, because they have adapted to the water and depend on it's buoyancy to hold them up. Other ferns are much more stiff and can hold there bodies when taken out of the water. Wisteria is not one of these ferns.
I think I might be talking about a different plant then, and it does indeed look different than the one I had. Did you get it from Petsmart? They sell plants in cylinders with gel at the bottom and claim they are good for both "terrariums and aquariums"-but to my knowledge a true aquatic plant shouldn't survive out of water so idk
Hay quaqa88 how much did you purchase your whole aquarium set up for. how much did the 30 gallin tank tank cost. did it come with the hood or did they cost separate. I found a good deal on a 30 gallon tank at pet land for 43 dollars without the hood, filter, or stand im thinking on buying another tank you think that is a good deal
It is quite important that you remove the plastic pots or containers that the bottom of the plants sit in. Even though it makes situating plants in the aquarium much easier, it will not be long before the roots of the plant start to rot and the plant will die.
I have one of those loaches in my 75 gallon african chicklid tank and have been in there for 2 years.I have try to upload video to the computer but it will not upload.
Oh sorry. There is no special substrate that I use for my plants, it is just plain river gravel. However I do use a liquid plant fertilizer to help the growth of my plants and to supply necessary nutrients that are not normally found in the water.
I had a 25 gallon (tall) community tank and i use only fake plants and i was wondering what kind of care live aquatic plants need seeing in the video you have some i was hopeing you know.
Great aquarium ! It is very nice and looks very natural. I have a question do you use co2 difusers for you real plants or not all planted aquariums require them.
Do you have a Red Tailed Shark i Got one in my 30 gallon and any left over food he cleans up every scrap, there kinda like the Cleaners of the Fish World but can he's Agresive towards my Pictus Catfish he has his own corner in the tank where he chills
hey dude i jsut got that plant that u got to ! lol but mine is like 1 foot something tall and my ghost shrimp love it ,it gives a nice back ground plant its awsome
Hey Alex, watching your fish videos has really made me consider joining the hooby. What cool ciclids should i get for my 30 gallon tank? Also, what's your top 5 favorite fresh water fish?
hey dude one question is this a good community tank for a 10 gallon 6 neon tetra 1 flame dwarf gorumi 1 silver hachet 2 dalmation mollys 2 guppys 1 rubber lip plec 1sword tail or platy 3-5shrimps and like 5or6 plants?? plzz reply
I'm not quaqa88 but I can tell you that keeping that many fish in a 10 gallon is not possible. I did a quick add of all the fish length with 4 shrimps and got a total length of 36 inches. For 36 inches of fish you will need at least a 40 gallon according to the 1 inch per gallon rule but if you are getting a tall tank then it's good to have less because of a smaller water surface. The pleco needs a much bigger tank anyways. Plants can really vary because there are so many different kinds.
hey imo u need to have a really good light for ur plants and i just put the plants in the gravel my tank just has 2 potted plants bamboo and anubias in driftwood
This is a beautiful tank. The plants are a great addition to the aquarium. I'm really sorry about the loss of one of your fish. While you were gone, whoever cared for your tanks did a great job.
clown loaches get very big...so get ready for that a illness that can happen in only one fish: dropsy can't be caught by other fish becasue it is casued by an infection
Tank looks fabulous, enjoyed seeing it. Do you place styrofoam sheet under your tanks? I read this tip somewhere & it's supposed to equal out weight of tank on the stand. One of my 10 gal. tanks has an ever so slow leak now - so I wished I placed the styrofoam sheet under it as it might have helped. My 10 gal tanks came from thrift stores as such a bargain.
i had that plant it grows fast and massive. over grown my tank with in few months so i broke it off and stuck the end piece in another tank and it started growing.
ive tried to do live plants but nothing works can anyone help with with this??

I have a few questions....
How often do you clean out your tank?
Do you keep fresh and fake plants in that aquarium?
When you clean out your tank do you use any additional treatment in the water your adding?

Hey Alex, watching your fish videos has really made me consider joining the hooby. What cool ciclids should i get for my 30 gallon tank? Also, what's your top 5 favorite fresh water fish?

I hope you make a good decision TheAquariumKid. :) also search about the nitrogen cycle! Good info there!
Anyways nice aquarium quaqa88! I like how you placed what I think is an anubias nana. :)
Although I agree with bverman123. the clown loaches will grow big. They need 55 gallon atleast.

I'm not quaqa88 but I can tell you that keeping that many fish in a 10 gallon is not possible. I did a quick add of all the fish length with 4 shrimps and got a total length of 36 inches. For 36 inches of fish you will need at least a 40 gallon according to the 1 inch per gallon rule but if you are getting a tall tank then it's good to have less because of a smaller water surface. The pleco needs a much bigger tank anyways. Plants can really vary because there are so many different kinds.

This is a beautiful tank. The plants are a great addition to the aquarium. I'm really sorry about the loss of one of your fish. While you were gone, whoever cared for your tanks did a great job.

you should get a couple leopard corys. the are hardy fish and help keep the tank clean. they are a type of catfish i think. and are cool looking.

Tank looks fabulous, enjoyed seeing it. Do you place styrofoam sheet under your tanks? I read this tip somewhere & it's supposed to equal out weight of tank on the stand. One of my 10 gal. tanks has an ever so slow leak now - so I wished I placed the styrofoam sheet under it as it might have helped. My 10 gal tanks came from thrift stores as such a bargain.
