Ten Gallon Tank, you've got one, I've got ideas. Lets do this.
The first idea I got is Endler's livebearers
mixed with plants, get that farm going on multiple levels
So get yourself some nice N class Endler's just your traditional look
Maybe you go exotic, you go Tiger Endler if you want
But just some normal ones are actually pretty in demand to find just some normal endlers
And they're super hardy, I find 6.5pH to infinity pretty much and almost any temperature I would say about 68 and up.
Really easy and a lot of color is gonna be living in there ehh females a little bland and silver but the males super showy.
Get yourself some plants growing maybe you're farming some of that and what's not to like really with very little filtration needs
Food is easy they will eat anything throw in a pellet maybe even made for a Cichlid they don't care the're gonna eat it.
Put in some flake food, put in frozen food, put in anything. They're gonna love it.
Super easy take care of tank. Always alive bursting with life. So its great for desktop, its great for a kid, its great for anyone.
Even I love them I just like to upscale it more just like that tank in a 100 gallon instead of 10 gallons.
But start yourself at 10, fall in love with it, then go ahead and super size that thing you'll really enjoy it.
You can always bring a scoop in to your local fish store or you got a buddy or whatever its gonna be.
Maybe even get a little bit of store credit out of that but it's one of my absolute favorite tanks to play with
And I've got them livin with some turtles right now.
Next up in the 10 gallon this is a wooo what is that kind of fish fishtank.
So we are gonna do some Clown Killis up top
And they're a little nano fish they look like a rocket so they're super cool
Get a tight fitting lid so that they don't rocket right out of the top of your tank. But they only get about inch and 3/4 to 2 inches or so
Get a group of 6 or more. They're a little spendy that 4 or 5 dollar level.
Then we're gonna be going with an oddball nano type fish which is the Scarlet Badis or AKA Scarlet Badass because it looks so cool.
They only get about an inch and three quarters themselves. Males super colorful, females non existent.
They pretty much just are really really really really REALLY REALLY REALLY hard to find.
And so you're gonna get multiple males when you're buying most likely so make sure you get lots of caves and plants for them to separate.
They never really kill each other but they can be a little finicky to feed.
I recommend frozen food only so maybe you're gonna do frozen baby Brine, frozen cyclops, maybe you got Cyclops Eeze.
Maybe you're gonna do uhhh hatch out live baby brine, maybe you get daphnia
Something like that, all the clown Killis will love that as well. And then I like to add a little bit of more spice and life there.
Add some Kuhli Loaches down low. Those little squiggly worms will eat all that stuff after those guys are done eating.
And then Pink Ramshorn Snails just wait you said loaches, loaches eat snails.
They don't, not the Kuhli Loach, The Kuhli Loach doesn't eat a snail its got a different mouth structure.
So they can cohabitate so you get these big ol' pink snails that are like the size of your fish.
And you get Kuhli loaches. Spaghetti worming around and you got these really cool lookin scarlet Badis and you got these rocket Killis
at the top or the clown Killis. Super cool , everyone goes "what is that wow hadn't seen that."
Your're gonna get a lot to any other fish keeper
And just a super fun setup that you can enjoy in only 10 gallons.
Alright this tank is just a little bit, I call it the upside down forest.
So i did this on a much bigger scale, was actually my first aquarium ever that I did this in
And that is a bunch of Water Lettuce. So its a floating plant with longer leaves. You can order it online.
They don't ship that great. Most places will makes it right though so if order and it comes in like eughgh
You can still grow it maybe they'll throw you half your money back maybe they'll credit the whole thing
We don't sell it anymore because we haven't found a great way to sell it either.
But you should be able to find it on eBay and AquaBid and a lot of websites ... just not ours.
And you put a lot of light on that, like a crazy amount and the roots will get super long and it looks like a forest just turned upside down
And it looks like all these trees. And then you get yourself some fish that are gonna wade through all the weeds right
And so with that I like to go with Green Neon Tetras. They kinda got that like green reflective color as it goes through there.
Get a group of like 6 or 8 of those bad boys. And then Rosy Loaches, they're a loach that only gets about an inch and a half.
Get a nice red orangy color on the males, females not so much. And then the hardest part about that tank is feeding.
Because you got all this you can't just drop it off the top, you gotta make a hole.
A lot of times we'll feed with uhhh tweezers get the food in there and then shake it around underneath so that way it drops down for your fish to eat.
And uh pH you know kinda 6.8 and above to 7.5 uhh water temperature 69 and above like it doesn't have to be super hot
But I would shoot for 72 to 75 is right where I would shoot for for that.
And super low maintenance tank always a crowd pleaser, looks super cool.
You're gonna have to thin a lot of that Water Lettuce out which hopefully you got a turtle to feed it to or a store to give it to or a buddy who needs it.
And uhh yeah great little tank, upside down forest.
Alright the next tank is a breeder tank not a lot of people do a lot of breeding, but if you do this on can be very profitable as well
And that is Long Fin White Clouds. As long as you keep ONLY Long Fin White Clouds and nothing else, they will make more.
So no snails, no shrimp, nothing to prey on besides the Long Fin White Clouds
Then you just plant it up a bunch, get some floating plants get some plants on the bottom, get some plants in the corner, plants over here.
And as they breed every single day and they're sparring with each other, eggs are gonna go flyin
and some of those eggs are gonna hatch and as long as we're feeding some very fine foods that will work so you can get yourself like some Repashy food
Feed that powder you can use the Aquarium Coop fry food you can use Hikari first bites, you can use uhh
uhh live baby brine shrimp that would really set it off if you're trying to make money use live baby brine shrimp
and just keep doing that day after day after day and pretty soon you're gonna go wow I've got generations going on.
The adults typically won't eat babies, but juveniles, so kind of half adults, will eat babies.
So you get these generations raising up, oh there's no super small babies.
Once they kind of get to adult age then ohh babies are coming again so don't think like its just too crowded but a lot of times it has to go in waves.
And eventually it will become so crowded cuz your'e so good at your job that you can sell those off and they typically retail at like 5 or 6 bucks a piece at the store
So you're gonna get probably 2 bucks a piece and that ain't bad for a tank that doesn't even require heat.
And nothing really nothing but feeding to get them to breed and you're gonna have live plants in there so fun breeding tank
you can do it in the office and then you're like oh yeah once a quarter I scoop some of the fish out and I sell my fish and I trade it for fish food
Self sustaining system fun fun fun.
