My turtle 🐢 tank gets stinky when he digs deeply. I will add more sand to prevent this. I also have to figure out a way to get plants in there... possibly by adding a light to strong enough to grow duckweed. I will also ask the Shoal how to engineer a spot for rooted plants in a turtle tank.

I really want to try this!!

Is putting salt in the tank is vital?

great for ecospheres terrible for preventing parasites and funguses

Leaf matter clogs up the intake of my HOB filter.

Other than a sponge filter. Do you use a Hang on Back or canister filters?

So simply logically amazing

Father Fish, I have a 75 gal of peacock cichlids that are fairly large and have destroyed every kind of plant I have put in the tank (excluding water lettuce). Do you think I could use fake plants to acclimate them and train them to get used to having plants in the tank without destroying them? I can slowly replace fake with real over time. Does this sound like a method that will work?

What vitamin c tablets do you recommend?

Do you sell Vitamin C tablets?

Can somebody get this guy a better microphone? I’m sick of hearing these shorts pop up.

I did have some weird, pond funk when I started my new tank up, but it calmed down after a couple weeks & it's a very clean, black water tank now. But just the other day, my hubby wandered over to check my tank & saw some activity at the bottom. I knew what was coming so I told him to look closer & BAM! A well of methane bubbled up & popped right in his face. "'Revenge' is what that is." Sometimes the universe gives you a hilarious moment. ^^;

Another Master Class on aquarium ecosystems. Thank you Father. Be well from the fish eyed foo's in Michigan :)

Great information 👍👍👍

The alternative to chlorinated and chloramine tap water is simple rain water. The stuff that falls from the sky which helps fill and dilute rivers ponds and streams where fish also live. Simple and free. I've been doing it for many years. Collect it and use it.

Thank u for ur profound knowledge u share daily on keeping fish 🐠🐟...

Father Fish knows what he is taking about 100%. Because of his wisdom my two freshwater tanks are thriving. Thank you Father Fish🎉

Most affordable but also the worst kind of saltwater tank, might aswell be freshwater at that point

I have a dee sand substraate bu he waste just sits on top

I ran into this with a couple of my tanks that had gravel only so i started researching and found father fish. They now smell great capped with sand and my mystery snail immediately laid three egg clutches! Best thing i did was find father fish. So incredibly helpful!

I have an old aquarium (60x30x30cm) and I intend to set it up according to your instructions. I was fascinated by your approach, which, for me, makes perfect sense. I'm currently gathering the materials and buying the plants in stages (it's expensive to buy them all at once...), to set up the aquarium that I'm looking forward to! I will just add a sponge filter to promote water circulation. I'll give you news! Thank you very much for your teachings!

Can you put the vit c tablet right in tank?

Too much sand is the REAL REASON

Yeah the pet stores try to push a lot of stuff on you but in reality you don't need it .and I love your method set up your tank in a way where nature can take over! So simple and that's what I have done in a 7 gallon for my betta and he loves it it's like a jungle in there so it really brings out his Natural Instincts for hunting and he does he loves hunting

Watching your videos brings back memories of Mr. Rogers except you talk about deep substrates 😊. You are such a great teacher and so patient with people. Every video is educational and so informative. Keep up the great work! Love you!

I love all the nature sounds you have going on it really throws it all together having your birds in the background I love it

For my tank 20x20x20, how many substrat and sand i must have? 1 inc soil and 2 sand? Please help for my small tank.. Thx🙏

♥thank you FF

Yep over feeding. Makes stinky.

Thank you 😊 i love your videos 💕

I did this 😅 also found me some baby fish 🐟

More plants + fish = more plants and fish....if you know what i mean.

So happy that you chat with us. Preach it Father!

No Stinky Tank, just a Stinky Gov.

I never fed my betta in 10 gallon aquarium since 6 months and she is very happy. She keeps finding food at the bottom. She looks very healthy. I just put some potting soil in the bottom than capped with sand than heavily planted vallisneria than after a few weeks I put inside mud and water from near pond and repeated this 3-4 times 2 weeks intervals since than nothing. I just add dried leaves from outside. I put these leaves in a separate container full with water a few days than after they are soft I transfer then to the aquarium that's all.I have light and a sponge filter no food nothing and the fish is very happy no water changes since. I only top the evaporated water time to time that's all.

I applied the tips of Father Fish "do nothing" and it worked, I was cleaning too much the gravels and the plants had not enough to eat even with the special soil. Now the gravels have somekind of dirt in them and the plants grew up more in a month than in a year, that's crazy, and without CO2. Before that I had algaes on the glass in 3 days, now it's still ok after 2 weeks, the tank stabilized in like a week. I was changing 15% of water each week as I thought I had too much nitrates, but this apparently was too much for the water stability and the effect was negative. I also feed the fish every 3 days instead of everyday.

Wish I could have a planted tank but I have cichlids...lol

@Father Fish I'm trying to grow red plants. Even when i order them red and put them in my tank, they start growing green. I kicked up the lighting and used a bright RBG light, still most of them grow green. And i fight green water because the lighting is too much. How do i get plants to grow red? Do i have to break down and add CO2?

Right now battling algae in my small 5 gallon. Cut back the light and now waiting to see. Plants loaded up but went a bit hard at beginning

As soon as I stopped swimming in my tank the odor went away . LOL . As you said , feed your fish every few days and this does wonders for the biological system. Thank you Father fish . God bless you brother.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Father Fish, I'll do whatever you say, i trust you 💯✨

I like your way when you explain these information sir.. Thanks a bunch

Thanks for the knowledge father fish

Great video! I think I’m going to upload a video of my tank soon on my channel.
