Havent gotten all the way thru the vid but tiger barbs ar nutorious fin nippers and with that gorami having the tentical fins you have to watch out and make sure he isnt getting nipped
Great video! As a fish keeper though I would like to mention that some of the schooling fish you have would much prefer more of their own species. Tiger barbs usually like to be in schools more than 3 and I only saw one lonely rummynose which probably makes him super insecure since they love to school super tight. Regardless, looks amazing and keep it up! Edit: I later did see more rummys and I also wanted to mention the min usually for schooling gosh is 6, but if they seem happy and healthy, you could get away with less
@@JustTravis_trj Hey, we all start somewhere and one of the best parts about keeping animals is you can learn something new everyday! It would be exciting to see you do a planted tank and I’m sure it would look so good judging by how the paludarium looked. Goodluck!
Your editing is like SSS-tier, amazing stuff! Thanks for sharing the journey of this tank with us. It was great seeing the umbrella plant getting a new home for better light, good luck to it! And I love the orange isopods.
Love the videos keep up the good work dawg. I most definitely think that with the way you do videos, it is just a short amount of time before you pop off. Most underrated videos I've seen they're great.
Couple tips/ideas for you: the whole weight of the lights and stuff pushing down the frame on the doors, perhaps you can design/build some sort of tree trunk in the center of the enclosure used to hold/support the lid/frame from bowing down onto the glass doors. Your way of getting rid of the excess water from the drainage layer: why not just drill a hole and set up a bulkhead with an on/off water valve? Thats what im currently using on my dart tanks with a half inch hose and all the water drains out within seconds Also (im sure you have much deeper pockets than me) But! you can actually save hundreds of dollars if you just buy your plants at big box stores like home depot/rona/etc...for example the local reptile expo/pet store sells a small pot of baby tears like the one you had for $9, home depot had them for $2 in the summertime. The drainage leca balls, im sure you paid between $20-$40/bag for the brand name, but your local hydroponics store would sell the same stuff where you can get like 4bags worth for less than $40, coco coir/bio active mix can be made for super cheap too
Definitely go taller! When you build a big beautiful enclosure part of the joy is that it is art, and it's sooo much easier to see in when the enclosure is tall! And it gives you room for more tree like plants and a forest floor, understory, canopy layering thing. I'm still working on my 36x18x36 paludarium I bought last October ( I got a really good deal with delivery at the reptile show, but i didn't do anything planning more than a week in advance, very ADHD), but the first thing I decided on were corkbark "trees" in the corners(they also contain the ventilation tubes). The branches coming out the top will provide the scaffolding for pothos, and form the canopy, and because they are in the back corners they aren't tooo close to the lights(at least in theory).
Love it. Cant wait for a future update but take ur time. Its so inspiring! :D Its refreshing to see Videos that show a larger Timespan of projects and the development. (The trauma of all these "Follow for part 2" Videos hits)
Hi ….😊.. I just subscribed!!! Love your channel and editing. Absolutely stunning. Looking forward to the future. Well done . From Sydney Australia 🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺❤️👍
Very surprised that the fish are doing as well as they are with such an odd combination. Typically tiger barbs are more aggressive in small numbers, but they look good in your case!
@@JustTravis_trjIf I could make a suggestion for the fish that does stay in the Paludarium, look into splash tetras. They lay their eggs above water and it’s quite entertaining when they do.
the solution for the tube sucking is filling the whole tube with water first and then let the water go out. As long as the the end your holding is lower to the ground than the other end, all the water should come out.
Have you had any issues with the great stuff foam not sticking or coming off? I plan on securing egg crate to the back of my pvc enclosure to spray the foam onto to hold on better. Also, how many coats of drylock did you use on the background?
Bromeliads are on their way out after they bloom. They only bloom once unfortunately, but if the plant is doing OK it will then sprout a pup, maybe more than one, so don't be too quick to replace them.
Go taller! Better view in(especially as they get longer, it can feel closed in if its not very tall), better sense of scale and it gives you the space for taller woody plants to make up a canopy level for your rainforest My dream would be an 8x2(or even three if i could swing it)x8(I have vaulted ceilings and like the first foot would be drainage and substrate anyways). It would have to replace the side board in the dining room but it would be worth it!
