well, only if they don't like their environment/get bored/are starving/have easy access to the top of the aquarium (its the same with elongated fish and octopods)
1. Water from a different tank does not help cycle your tank. 2. Those "rocks you added also are not enough to cycle your tank. 3. It takes two weeks to cycle Again Bingo doing stupid shit on his channel and spreading false information. Bingo stans don't comment and say im hating these are straight facts.
I also keep my minnow in a 80 gallon tank to simulate their natural habitat... of course if I wanted to add any other fish I'd have to double the size per fish
@@MightyDude11 2.5 works too but that doesn't mean the fish could thrive in it and Nick being this influencer kinda guy should know better and help others by directing them in the right path
That cray is just a baby, only a couple inches a 10 gallon is plenty of space for it to thrive for now. It can be upgraded to a bigger tank if need once it’s full grown. And he said it’s going into a big tank later so it just has to be temporary.
Nick the water doesn’t have as much beneficial bacteria you have to take out used media if you have any that’s freshwater and if you don’t just get a beneficial bacteria bottle starter
Great video but.... Crayfish are escape artists, you should get a lid. Also a 2.5 gallon is too small for any tank mates especially a pleco, the smallest species of pleco will get to 4"
He can escape!! unless you have a lid he will eventualy find a way out. I breed crayfish and have learned this the hard way multiple times sometimes even with a lid. Withought a lid this has happend every time to me withought tall decorations or wood and only low bottom pvc pipes. I had my blue moon crayfish even with a lid for three mounths and he eventualy found a way out. He can climb the plants to the intake and get right out or kick his tail to shoot up to the outtake. I promise he will eventualy escape they are a lot smarter than they look. The tank looks great just needs a lid!
That tank is going to look good for like a week until all the plants start to melt away because they where grown out of water and they don’t have any nutrients in the substrate
Those are actually epiphyte plants the rhiozome can’t be planted like that and yes they will melt cause they are emersed grown but they don’t feed from the gravel Becuase it is inert and there is no CEC in the soil they will feed from the water column but there is not that much nutrients in the water so there will probably be lots of defiencys
@@bobjow3573 the crawfish will completely shred them within a few days and stache away the broken plant parts wherever they make their cave/burrow causing an ammonia spike, crawfish are notorious for this when it comes to any live plants.
@@McChimkin123 I know that lol by the plants will most likely melt first then the crawfish will start to eat the plants I have several crayfish that I keep and it seems they don’t touch my bacopa and Amazon swords and Val
@@McChimkin123 and crayfish don’t necessarily create ammonia spikes when digging their dens it mostly come down to how well you maintain your substrate if you gravel vac you won’t get a ammonia spike and even if you get an ammonia spikes if your ph is below 7 ammonia actually turns into ammonium which is way less toxic to fish and or crayfish plants also feed off of ammonium which is preferred over ammonia
I dunno if anyone mentioned this. But make sure not to bury the anubias. I can’t tell what the back right tank is, but any epiphytes can’t be buried. The rhyzome will rot and die. And they are escape artists, a lid is very important
That tank actually came out better then I thought looks really good and natural wanna do something like that with neon Tetras and a crawfish but I’m freshwater scrub only reefs here lol
Nick as a subscriber since the beginning I am requesting you to not put bettas in small tanks and and please not use artificial decor. My request is to put the betta in the tank of the crawfish. It's MUCH MUCH BETTER than the plastic tank with the weir colored stones. Please do a lot of research on the fish you have. Thank you.
nick, give us a update to show that you took care of the crayfish. If you can't, then it proves that you dont care about them. and please be honest. Dont buy another crayfish and just say its the same one
You should name him Captain America! 🇺🇸 Cuz he has red, white and blue! Also I don't think you should add fish, but maybe a snail to make it more natural looking! 😉
Looks great, but you will need a 20 gallon eventually as they get older. It's a waste of money to get a too small aquarium, even if they seem small in comparison now :)
You need to add more plants to your tanks because then there will be more for fish and or crawfish to clean and hide in, that tank is not like a mansion either because he had freedom to go anywhere in that canal and now he is confined to a tiny space. But I do like the sound or a big freshwater tank just remember that the more plants in a tank the better.
That betta tank looks horrible. Please please please upgrade that poor fish. Bettas need at least 5 gallons and filtration and a heather. And also that colorful gravel can put toxins into you tank water. They also need live plants you’re literally doing everything wrong.
