fishtanktv.com dustinsfishtanks bringing
it to you on a Sunday with yet another
sick fish room from st. Louis check this
out folks TVs house now look the man
singles so he can get away with a little
bit more than some of us that are
married or with girlfriends but check
this out he's got these ruby barbs over
here I'm upstairs in his like living
room I may have gotten the name wrong on
that he told me but a nice big hex right
here I've got the Loach's going on
really a cool tank all low-tech too very
little item you can see hardly you know
not a whole lot of light basic easy
plants and then you pan this way and you
see balm 135 gallon not a 125 but 135
gallon tank he's running the old-school
YouTube power combat compacts on it
about a hundred Cardinal tetras the ones
at the top are Congo tetras which I
thought would be a little more jiggidy
they seem to be pretty chill in here
though and then a whole bunch of quarry
cats I'm gonna try to zoom in you just
fed him for us but this is his upstairs
scroll right in there for those guys
tons and tons and tons of Cory cats I'm
gonna do the best I can on some of the
species in here he's got the real tall -
one in there you see that and he's also
got the ones with the the white with the
spots those are the the whites Menai and
he's got some stir bays in there as well
so this tank by itself deserves a a full
shot back out here show you guys the
full deal love it tooks he's always got
good seating around his all of his tanks
so definitely a cool set of all low-tech
you know crypts this is actually the
upon d'etat innovations over there's
that bright neon one your standard
swords and then this is a Barclay Alonza
folio which I'm actually going to be
able to get some of this from Gary so
I'm real pumped about that he's got some
other res wars in the back
that's actually not a Crip that's a
barclay Alon to fully a full-size I
don't see a big stock coming out of it
but so very fun cool setup here is
running a football fluorophore I think a
penguin hang on back on there
but then as we roll down because there's
a lot more going on say bye to this you
walk down the steps you check this out
and you can see from here where we're
headed
he's got some cichlids over here yellow
labs going on again good seating
chilling places to check it out I don't
know my Malawi's that well but Malawi
cichlids and there's some Tanganyika 'ns
hey Steve what are these Tanganyika Zin
there are these Tanganyika in my trunk
yeah the bow front transcripted juliek
Roma's transcriptase it's got a real
little ones in here or keep roll and
look at this into here along oh yeah so
these are guys the big the big brokest
Cory's I'm looking at monster that
--cork head it's all probably monster
guy what type of agios hey Steve what
kind of what kind of a Geo Figgis is
that I love you out us love yeah where's
those worlds from might be Uruguay why
they probably both there's a different
species all right know another thing
they're two males in the middle oh
there's a little smaller that's a female
which I think may be spending I don't
know
male/female disparities that bad and
this is this is the manner Eric Stevie
say hello to everyone know one wonderful
fish tank crew man and then give us the
give us the tour man what do we got in
here these are the new black belogus
multi passing out of shell dwellers they
live in colonies of thousands in the
lake a little kill beds and they just
breed like rabbits in there so the more
of them you have the easier it is to I
mean once you get established I mean
they'll just they'll completely
overpopulate I've had that colony for
probably fifteen years and I'm sure pull
that over a thousand fish out of it
really and they just keep cranking
something about how many that are in
there that keeps them is that like a
balance level with there's so many of
them what's great about them is they're
true colonies for so many siblings are
territorial but two shells can be
touching each other they'll be a parent
each shell and they're fine with it
Wow mister spry come out that they don't
go attack each other's frying their
babies in here I'm sure we'll find a
nest in here somewhere where they're
wandering out there's something see some
you have some smaller ones they're in
the back awesome I don't see any really
tiny ones at the moment still I see some
he had little guys in the back there
though wow that's cool that they can all
just get along like that and most is
that most cyclists have to have you know
discrete territory a little separation
from somebody else but these concert is
absolute true couple of these bombers
yeah those are hot I got to go back to
the brokest here I caught one of these
in Peru mmm and I dropped it nose coach
quickly scooped out of it was able to
get it back in the net again but yeah I
love those big brokest no we're gonna
keep moving what is this guy
I love the eyeballs in this guy like
mascot style what is it again it's a
character lightly a Pokemon it's one of
the endangered Madagascar sir really
it's too bad here it's endangered yeah
they're having a lot of environmental
issues over there their government is
trying to recover something Paulo Zell
is doing a lot of efforts to get them to
be more conservation aware get a good
shot of him I love this person how do
you know he's just looking right at you
I love his eyeballs he looks like a
cartoon character
hey bud and then over here what are
these guys I saw one of these guys
flashing a minute ago you know I saw a
super chromeless look just unwove
so called blue flash what about you
naked so that's why they're named blue
flash huh yeah those are awesome these
are all Tanganyika pnes right mhm how do
they spawn they're totally open water
spawners they don't they help to
handbags that float or sink they don't
need to substrate they're surface
the eggs are kind of neutral buoyancy
and the female will lay an egg back up
and grab it
pick it up in her mouth and I'm Alfred
here's one oh yeah it was she's got a
mouth full of fry right now probably do
they let those go at some point and they
just kind of carry him around and you
need and then going to the other side of
the world
South American these are the festivals
and you got the children and the parents
right yeah I think mom's ready to go
again to why she keep trying to run the
other
and that's dad back there how long have
you had these guys those are cool any I
need tips on breeding these guys I know
they're like a little bit lower pH right
a little lower
patience mainly they were notorious egg
eaters the first three times they
spawned ate the eggs the next three
times eight the wiggler's next two times
they eat the fry and then finally on the
night spawn they find that last time the
fried to live I had a ton of java moss
on there I think some of the Briar a
behind the java ha all right and then
moving over here I love your commitment
to the low the low tech you know tanks
and the you got the ol basis and the
Crips and black is a high groffle over
there
yeah I guess I'm like I love what that
is I picked up one of my yeah that's a
hydraulic again probably some some sort
I have no idea what species and those
are just some black neons I picked up
cheap they're just in quarantine at this
point a little more size on them they'll
eventually go back over with with the
larger black neon so uh I guess tank
okay and then the yellow labs and love
those man always have found a particular
yellow strain of them yeah those do look
a little more yellow those are hot when
I hold it in there which help me out
which one's holding do you have any idea
yeah this was back in the one under the
rock now if you choose to the entrance
of the cave okay oh okay I see that
notice pronounces the user promise
alright and then I got a show in true
bass okay oh this is a one of the
offering a little guy on there yeah room
over our spawn as you separate them when
you get them out how do you die just
leave but never leave they don't seem to
bother that much okay and then I'm gonna
show a true bachelor pad style
what's complete without sit on the
commode and check out some
what are these I'm restarting in here
definite daffodils the alacra logo
sculpture
they're very close to the Lady Panthers
they don't they have a little more
orange in them I like though it is a
little more of a purplish into a Pacific
effectively they they're the same as
daffodils as parts behavior and breathe
Wow
so they got that I see that yellow on
that the orangish yellow on top is what
your yeah orange is what makes an aphid
ills
there's a difference in the pages really
jewel on the cheek that's a different
the Chevron I think they call it that I
can't remember the difference but
there's a little mark on there on there
Gill plate cheek that's different
we daffodil a majority but the main
thing is the orange along the dorsal I'd
really and the baby in there oh yeah
there's a really about five adults and
all the rest of those were raised in
there Wow what's great about them is
they will breathe and then they'll be
older Frye will look after the younger
ones I really a generation that the only
fish out of the lunette but Bashar hold
maturity complex and normally the fish
don't trust the older siblings to look
after the other private they have to put
it work so you've got multiple
generations or multiples one other
that's what you see all the spare step
sizes of vision there I think that
there's five adults and then all the
rest of those offspring of Perry's
previous Brut I didn't know that verdict
looked out for the other gal there that
were remarkable finish I've got some
videos when I had about a community tank
particular think we're really good about
trying to keep the other fish and why
problems and now you just keep them all
on one species yeah but just a little
milk in the bathroom then what are gonna
do with that yeah they'll lose what you
did
yeah yeah tower hacker I thinking for
Shari that's a cool ones that look 40
square what I miss I got this 38 he did
something like that that's awesome but I
have to tank that to my smallest tank I
don't really like little banks so but I
had just you know that was just a good
one utilize that little place and it's
do I want to come on here and I want to
ask you a question about your what you
got going on here and then I want to
talk about your maintenance routine air
these tanks all look real sharp what do
we got going in here we've got some
digital Cetera's yeah this is mostly
Asian except for the corridors this is
my nano tank I even have it labeled as
Nana Oh clearly it's a nano yeah what 45
gallon Dana 72 72 okay I don't like
little tags as I mentioned yeah got
brass Bora hips there's another red four
type called pectin a citrus or just long
skinny basically silver fish and I've
got tetras outer Barb's in their pens
auto parts and Pentagon and then what
sort of shrimp
I like mirror back tanks it makes the
tank look deeper it it's kind of a force
multiplier for schools the only problem
is the schooling fish tend to stay
closer to the mirror because that's
where that's cool the rest of the fish
are hot so they don't always come out
that much is not that easy to see them
but tanks a little over over planted but
everybody's happy in there I've got a
mono strip I've got some small other
water carries and just various
miscellaneous assorted small shrimp yeah
these are cool
like they hang out on that what is it
called swathers hanger what's that and
you guys have that all over your your
club yeah that makes around some this is
I didn't intentionally buy that I think
it must have come in on another plant
and it just kind of took a brush heads
there's driftwood under both of those
globs of that stuff and there'll be
little patches of float around all you
would take it out to keep it taking over
the tank but it's pretty good about it
once it starts sticking to something it
just grows in place Steve I gotta ask
you you got all these tanks it's all
about making it easy
how do you do maintenance on these like
what is your routine I know you've got
canisters and
hang on backs like what's what's your
kind of style with filtering and then
maintenance
you
