Would love to see a vid similar to this but with alternatives that would work in smaller tanks. Very interesting and great info including adult sizes. ✌️
I do like gobies. Though I'm mostly partial to the mud skipper gobies. Paludariums are fun to set up and view. I like red tail sharks, I really do! But I cannot be bothered with the aggression issues. I like having a few bottom dwellers ant that's too hard with red tails
In my experience of keeping Reticulated SAEs so far, they are definitely a joy to watch and are ALWAYS searching for food/algae. I have two juveniles and they have been doing an amazing job keeping the algae under control and this is while I’m increasing my light intensity. I also have 3 Amano shrimp as well. My LFS also the same about the Reticulated being better algae eaters than the regular ones. I wish I could get a Panda Garra from my LFS, but they never seem to have them available, and it’s been months unfortunately. Additionally, I wasn’t aware of how Garra species there are.
Such a good video! I'm done cycling my new tank so this was very informative!! As a suggestion, I would love to see a video on how you hatch your corydoras eggs! Everyone do something a lil different so I would to see what you do!!
Red tailed sharks get too big eventually, so it's best not to sell them to people with smaller tanks. I wish people would quit trying to sell them to new fish owners. Many end up needing to be rehomed and some dumb people throw them in a lake since no one will take them after they are really massive. You can check on youtube how big they get. It's it's inhumane to keep them in a 40 gallon tank when they are full grown. It's not enough room.
The first one is called black racer nerite snail where I get them. They are my favorite of the nerites. They will submarine under the gravel and disappear for a few days. Smarter then other nerites also, they never get stuck in a filter or upside down. Idk how they know but it’s never happened with them.
Do you know if the females leave the white egg sacks everywhere like with other nerites? I've got one I bought at Petsmart and it doesn't do that, so curious if I got a male or just a variety that doesn't make a mess?
@@realangiechrist I don’t know they are mixed in with other types that do leave white eggs. I have noticed if there is a piece of wood in the tank they will prefer to lay eggs there and not on the tank sides
Thank you so much for this content. I have been looking for alternatives for getting rid of my algae problem for so long now. It's a short, black algae that even overtakes my plants. I thought at first that it was BBA but it never grew long, flowing "hair". It's just short like a buzz haircut. IDK 🤷♂️ 🤷♀️
I have the same thing. I had an SAE that did a good job, but it jumped out and now it's all grown back. Looking for another or similar. CO2 booster also helps to get it under control.
