Tropical Fish Information

A brief video article which discusses the basics of fishless cycling a freshwater aquarium.

A short video documenting the setting up of my tropical fish tank. Will be updated on a monthly basis. Since the first video I have had to treat the fish and tank for white spot which was introduced to the tank when I added some Platys. I have had 3 fish and 2 shrimp die due to this. Since the treatment finished I re-arranged the tank ornaments and added some fresh plants.

TAKE A LOOK AT MY OTHER VIDEOS www.fischbottich.de +++ This isnone of my own tanks. In this video you can see a fish tank of a Zoo Aquarium called “Aquazoo-Löbbecke Museum Düsseldorf”. We have videos of many tanks of this zoo. +++ The population of this tank: – more coming soon (If you are intrested in helping me classifying the other species in this tank, post your suggestions) +++ Intro: 5xLMusic Weitere Informationen unter www.youtube.com +++ Veröffentlichung des Videomaterials mit der freundlichen Genehmigung des Aquazoo-Löbbecke Museum Düsseldorf.

One of a few oddball videos I make from time to time as I am also into Fishkeeping as well as Transport and Model Railways. This video shows two of the three Aquariums we own. The first one is a 64 litre tank which is host to nine freshwater tropical fish which consists of four Bronze Corydoras Catfish with the largest male named as Sanjuro and the second as John. There are also three full sized platies as well in this aquarium as we originally had four but we sadly lost one last week due to old age and natural causes. We currently have a fair amount of baby platies in the mobile incubator but we have decided to get and setup a third tank for the baby platies as it would not be right to keep them in the incubator any longer than necessary. The second tank shown in the video will be the new home for the baby platie fish as soon as the tank cycle has finished as I don’t want to expose the platies to any ammonia or nitrate/nitrite risks (as the saying goes – Rome Wasn’t Built In A Day ). I hope you like the video footage and feel free to post any comments or questions.
