Not your bad, I haven't mentioned it.

I really don't know why, but here in Germany they are way more expensive than Malawis or similar. You sound way younger than I expected you to be. Let me guess u are 29 years old 😅

Really cool video idea. Would have loved to do a 55 gallon Tanganjika setup but they are quite expensive in my area ) :

Hey. I sadly can't answer ur questions but what about breeding achatsnails (Lissachatina fulica(I think)) as a food for the puffer? When I was a kid I had these snails as a pet in a terrarium and they bred like crazy.

Hi. I haven't found anything good either, but Ive found this on reddit: "Rainbow stiphon, they're cool. Have zero fear, will eat meaty foods and algae. Can be pretty territorial." I don't even know if Lumbantobing Gobys common name really is Rainbow stiphon. But if you want information for any other goby species, there is a really good German website which has excellent information on almost any goby species. Feel free to hit me up for an translation ( :

Hey. I can spot the gender different quite easy most of the time. The females should have a black line on their belly fin. But this doesn't go for every kind of apistogramma. Hope I could help u !

That’s different for every tank. But that’s the information which I found and had succes with it.

Zeolite is also 100% natural and organic. But ive never heard of the algae solution you mean.

Ive just seen that there are already topics about zeolite. But anyways I maybe helped someone ( ;

Hey guys. After watching Corys video about Algae problems I searched the forum for the keyword "zeolith" and I haven't found anything. Im very surprised by this since ive used zeolith for many years now and im more than satisfied with it. So what makes zeolites so special and why is it considered an all-round talent for the aquarium? The reason lies in the mineral structure of zeolites. Because of its structure (and more scientific stuff), zeolite allows good ion exchange and has a huge surface area for bacteria. Thus, it can bind phosphate or ammonium and, thanks to the porous material, offers an internal surface area of 4,500 to 5,000 square meters with only one gram of zeolite (!!!!!). Zeolite can counteract the formation of algae, as it binds not only ammonium, nitrate and nitrite, but also phosphate in the aquarium. Phosphate is an important nutrient for pond plants, but a phosphate concentration of 0.1 milligrams per liter of water is sufficient. If the concentration is higher, algae formation is eventually promoted. Since zeolite binds phosphate, it reduces the nutrient concentration in your tank/pond and counteracts algae formation. In addition, as already mentioned, it offers an enormously large surface for beneficial bacteria. In summary, zeolite thus has the following effects - Binding of nitrite and ammonium - Inhibits the formation of phosphate - Improvement of water quality due to huge inner surface Since I use Zeolith in my Aquariums and ponds ive NEVER had any real struggle or problems with algae, not even in the beginning phase(small and healthy amounts excluded). I really hope that this post gets a lot attention so that less aquarium owner have to struggle with algae. Maybe even Cory sees this post and I can help him out a little bit ( : Btw feel of course free to share your opinion, thoughts or experiences to this topic below.

@TheSwissAquaristTrue. But does AquariumCoop ship fish to Germany ?

I don't know if this is still currently but ive bred CPOs like crazy a couple years ago. You basically only need 2, better 3 tanks. One for the males, one for the females and one grow out tank. To breed them just put two of them in a small container (maybe 1 liter or so) with very few plants and leave them for half a day or a day. After that u put the female in the grow out tank and wait for the babies to hatch. Maybe I could help someone with this ( :

Definitely. The Indian Butterfly Goby (Neovespicula depressifron) is quite similar to the leaf fish but it could be even more interesting.

How big is/was your tank ?

They really do look very bizarre. Thank you for the recommendation!

I don't even find real information in German about this type of eel.

What do you mean with that?

Yes that's also what I think. I believe that it could work, but in a much bigger tank. That's definitely an interesting one.

That's maybe a bit big for a 45 in my opinion. But the fish as it would fit great. That's worth thinking about, maybe even an own project ? ( ;

I think that's not enough oddball fish for me if you know what I mean ( :

Hey. Im planning on doing a 45-50 gallon oddball tank. Ive decided to go with a pair of acaras and a pair of African butterfly fish (Pantodon buchholzi), as I really liked keeping these guys. But im really not sure on what to take as bottom dwelling fish. For me the typical fish like corys or plecos are not interesting enough so ive would like to have oddball bottom dwelling fish. Something in the way of freshwater eels (Macrognathus circumcinctus) or purple spotted gudgeons or weather loaches. If anyone has ideas of what oddball bottom dwelling fish could be nice or someone has experience with the fish I just mentioned I would love to hear about that. Greetings from Germany

Where are u from if u follow La Liga ? Bayern Munich is a special topic here. It’s generally only liked by the Bayern fans and all different fans usually hate Bayern. I’m proud Borussia Mönchengladbach Fan.

As a German Thats not even a question ( ;

Okay thanks a lot. Greetings from Germany

@Fish Folkthank you very much for the reply. But does a 40 gallon tank with medium sized tankmates usually work with the EBA ?
