Welcome to Ukrainian Aqua!

This channel is primarily about the fish and aquatic animals I own or have managed to film, and occasionally other animals. Right now I run two active tanks: an 84 L deep-substrate planted community tank and a 30 L nano tank with a plakat betta, orange neocaridina shrimp, and other invertebrates.

You’ll also find footage from my previous tanks, as well as from public aquariums and local fish shops, plus moments with Holly, my Yellow Labrador, and occasional nature clips.

Thanks for watching and following the tanks and small adventures!

I think a second wave of shrimp has hatched, since the first batch is already about twice the size.

Unfortunately, due to almost day-long blackouts caused by russian bombings of Ukrainian electricity generation facilities and the very low temperatures outside, most of my centerpiece fish passed away.

I decided to try something new and went with a beautiful pair of Pearl Gourami. I received them from the opposite side of the country, and they arrived with some minor fin damage (especially the female). The seller recommended treating them as a precaution and raising the temperature to 28°C (84°F), which I did.
