I'm absolutely loving how great the cardinal tetras are looking in the blackwater tank @alexb_aquatics, @SomersetShrimpShack and I set up a while back. . The massive palm leaves and pods from Live Aquatic food online have provided some great homes and grazing areas! There also might be some new fish in here just out of shot. I'm excited to get the video finished and out for you all to see! . What fish do you reckon we ended up getting?
Spent a few days last week sat in front of a few of our Betta tanks filming the new Betta informational video for our YT! . Everyone always asks which is my favourite but honestly, other than the obvious colour differences they are all so individual. Each one has its own personality and acts completely differently in their homes. . You can go check out the new Betta video here: https://youtu.be/x1X-aeoJyQ0
What did you get for Christmas? I got a super flu and have only just left my bed! We did also receive a care package from @YouTube with my favourite Christmas jumper ever and also a snow globe! So that made the flu a bit more bearable! . Katie does love mince pies but I promise that she isn't just hiding Christmas indulgence. So if we go quiet sometime in February it is more than likely because we have welcomed our new baby into the world. Now I'm back out of bed I will be working on lots of new exciting things for 2026! So watch this space! We were also going to try include Roma in the photo but she was eating and didn't fancy joining in. . We hope you all had a great Christmas and are looking forward to 2026! What would you like to see us do in the new year? Let us know in the comments!
Another Betta? Alright then, if I have to! . I've had a few comments in recent times saying how they would love to have a tank but can't afford one. So I thought I would make a video all about setting up a second hand Betta aquarium. . We used an old fish tank and an LED desk lamp to set it up. We tried to keep it as simple and cheap as possible, hopefully making it as accessible as possible to most people. . You can go and see the full video now! https://youtu.be/phfU8Vsxh_c
How has it already been over 6 months since we set up our indoor cichlid pond! It's looking lush and honestly needs an update video soon. I have some plans and ideas for something funky to put on it. Either that or I move it out the way and put a new aquarium in its place? What do you think?
Caught one of my Super white Hypancistrus out and about earlier. Honestly these fish are amazing and so beautiful, so glad I could tick them off my bucket list! . You can also see the tail end of one of my mini snowballs Hypans, they have been temporarily housed in here so we can set up a new tank for them. . @WyldeShrimp . #pleco#lnumber#catfish
Have you watched the new aquarium setup that @alexb_aquatics, @SomersetShrimpShack and I built and designed recently? Looking back through the footage reminds me how fun and interesting it was to aquascape an aquarium with two like minded fish keepers. I will pop the link to the new video below, also watch out because we have another video coming out we filmed on the same day! https://youtu.be/MRVN9dVkE9o
Cleared out one of our tanks the other week! New video coming soon!!! But we managed to find all of our snowball plecos, we had seen 1 or 2 at a time but not all 4! These were sold to me as Mini snowballs L471, now I'm looking at the photo I'm not sure that's right! When I get them back into a main tank I will have to check them over. May be a new breeding tank?
