I've had green neons for over a year by now and I still love them. I genuinely cannot believe how colourful they are. Especially when they're behind a very light green plant (like nymphoides taiwan or dwarf sag) they literally glow
i love the pots and other decor in the water. not everything has to look natural! we can have fun too. the fish wont mind lol (as long as the decor is chemical free or epoxy coated.)
I love your tank, I found it because I did a dirtied tank, Father Fish taught me. I picked Honey Gourami after much struggle on what to put in it. I love them. I have two and nine neon tetras. So far anyway. Brought my plants from Father Fish and they are great. Waiting a little while before I add something else. I love cory cats they are so cute.
You are an aquascape Jedi Master! Love the tank and love the fish you have in there. Also like the flower pot idea. So when am I getting my tank grandson?
I have 2 honey gourami females in a gallon jar with a male Amano, male yellow and male cherry shrimp with a few young ramshorns, plus 8 different plants and fluval substrate. The honey gourami are such carefree fish even when Im moving stuff theyre chill and curious. My Amano was having trouble eating, but I think I needed to up the calcium, so I first put eggshells, but eventually broke off some coral Ive had, and hes a voracious eater. They all get along in close proximity, and all the shrimp have fun hiding places. I also have a large volcanic boulder with some lake wood pieces for them to climb on. The HG are always pecking at all the plants. The only issue Ive experienced is they peck at the ramshorn tentacles. Otherwise they get along awesome.
I see your vision on that tiger lotus in a pot. I was thinking about breaking a pot and setting the plant inside while placing the pieces of pot around the plant🤷🏽
Hi! Your video popped up in my feed and watched it. I noticed that your filter has a piece of plastic connected to the end where water is released. I was wondering what you used and how it was attached. I've been tying a sponge to break the water intensity in all of my tanks which acts as an extra filtration. The water exiting the filter leaves minimal disruption to the tank.
Thank you so much for watching it! It is a cut piece of a water bottle that I placed under the hang on back filter. I want the water to skim across the top in stead of barreling straight down.
Thank you! Just plastic wrap on the end of the water pump to diffuse the water so I don't disturb the sand! I feed my fish, bloodworms, daphnia, and spinach mainly.
Thank you! and thank you for the input on the Honey gourami. Hopefully the tank is planted enough to where two males wont be an issue. It was been fine far but I will be sure to watch closely.
@@WorldofWhasian you're welcome. Yea I think they should be fine, there are lots of hiding places, and it's big enough by the look of it. But it's never wrong to watch how they do.
What I notice in your tank is the almost complete lack of algae. I'm guessing that this is because of the surface plants. I would like to know the size of the aquarium and the daily amount of artificial light that you give it.
Thanks for watching! It gets 12 hours of light a day believe it or not. I have the fluval plant light and it is actually set to 60 percent. Also the floating plants definitely contribute greatly along with the school of otos that i have in here.
I love that jungle style overgrown look, I must admit that, before you trimmed the tank. But how do you make sure that the submerged plants beneath the floating plants get sufficient light. I find that many of my hygrophila polysperma suffer from stem rot because they don’t get sufficient or enough light form my led lights. I also have frogbit and duckweed. I try to remove duckweed and frogbit, but without removing too much and I also try to trim down the hygrophila polysperma
The floating plants provide a ton of shade here but I do have a super nutrient rich substrate layer. I was also pretty intentional about picking plants that like lower to medium lighting as well. Is your hygrophila in a dirted tank of the sort? Could be a nutrient deficiency. Polysperma can also be quite fragile, is it new by any chance?
@@WorldofWhasian the tank is not new. And I use soil covered with fine gravel. I was under the impression that polysperma was an easy plant to grow. And I use CO2. Maybe you could direct me in another direction of plants. I love the look of hygrophila polysperma. So it would have to be same sort of looking like that
Why don't you add some cherry shrimps. Though most will die surviving ones will shine brighter. I added 10 cherry shrimps in my planted tank with a betta. There have been some babies but they don't grow since they will be eaten by the betta and scarlet badis.but the surviving 4-5 shrimps have the vibrant red colour now.
@@WorldofWhasian hah no ghost or amanos will be too big. I only have two 5 gal + tanks and a guppy tub. Cherry shrimps are interesting to see in small planted setups.Planning to get some red rilis for my second planted tank.
I would be guessing females. At that size, I would expect the male to have developed a blue line running from below the operculum toward the eye. At least that's what my males have. As for the orange, both males and female gold honeys get that, though there is more in the males.
