¿Qué PECES necesita tu ACUARIO CUBO? 🐟 | #Peces #Acuariocubo | KIWOKO

Foreign Hi everyone. Here I am with the mid level planted tropical aquarium for community fish. Of course. As you can see, the plants are doing very well. We have the nubias, which are beautiful. They are really growing solidly and are taking root. Later I will be able to show you how the roots are going. On the other hand, we have these elecharis which are going to be asested a small meadow that we are going to make down here. They are taking root slowly, but that is important because what I want is for them to be well rooted. The goal of this aquarium is to create a small ecosystem with small fish, small plants, and above all one that is very harmonious. As you can see, there are already new inhabitants. But before talking about our new tenants, I want to emphasize how important it is for a planted aquarium, as for any aquarium, but especially for planted aquariums, two things. Periodic water changes, small percentages, but periodically, every 48, 72 hours, especially at the beginning, until the aquarium is about three months old. And another topic that we can never skip. If you are interested in having an aquarium and that this aquarium is healthy, you have to analyze the water. And the water analysis has to be periodic. In this aquarium we are measuring pH, we are measuring KHS, GHS. We are also checking for ammonium nitrites and nitrates. And finally I am also analyzing phosphates and silicates. I keep these last two values under control because one of the issues that planted aquariums like this one usually have is when using a nutrient nutritious substrate, there are many, many excesses of nutrients in water. With good lighting, what is going to happen? Algae attack. So that is why it is important to be very consistent with a planted aquarium. Perform very periodic water changes, very small ones. Every 48, 72 hours we are going to be removing around 20%. But let's not let that distract us because it's really going to look beautiful. Well, let's talk about the stars of this video. They're called Rasbora Mosquito or Rasbora maculata. They come from Southeast Asia and are one of the smallest fish for the aquarium. They're ornamental fish. They're very pretty. There's a certain bimorphism between males and females. Males tend to be more reddish, females tend to be a little paler. They're fish that don't grow very big. And one of the issues that must be taken into consideration is that they're schooling fish, they like to walk all together. Why did I choose these fish? Well, these fish are actually medium care fish. Be careful. The water quality has to be excellent. They prefer acidic water. They like it free of ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. You also have to consider the food you give them. I've chosen a diet that is a formula from ocean nutrition which is crumble. It is a very small pellet because obviously they are fish with tiny mouths. Also be careful who they are going to share the space with. And this is where the first dilemmas arise. My intention at all times is to recreate a planted aquarium, medium level, with small fish. Because what I really have is a small aquarium. And this is something that we always have to take into consideration when we are going to choose fish or when we are going to choose what type of setup we are going to do. For now, the protagonists are, I insist once again, the mosquito rasbora or maculata rasbora. Things that I like about these fish. They are totally communal and they love to live near where the roots and plants are. It is where they get shelter and it is where they take refuge, which is absolutely beautiful to see. They are going to share the aquarium with some rainbow gbios that we have. Some multi dendata shrimp are shrimp on hand. And I have introduced some nerite snails at the same time as the mosquito rusboras. These snails are really useful for cleaning the windows because yes, believe it or not, they form small algae that you have to keep under control. That's why I've chosen the nerite variety, which are snails that also work very well in planted aquariums. They don't reproduce easily. Quite the opposite, in fact. One of the benefits of these snails is that they also consume all the debris on the bottom and keep everything pretty much in check. In future videos, I'll show you how to do some simple partial maintenance for this type of aquarium. It will also be accompanied by another video that I want to make about the filtration system, then the filter charges and how often you have to do it. Don't forget to subscribe. We're going to continue making super interesting content to pique your curiosity and make you finally opt for a planted community aquarium, which is truly wonderful. I wish you the best and leave me a comment if you want to know more about this aquarium.
