I'm sorry I missed it how long is this aquarium.
I normally use some fishing line to tie the Anubias to some wood or rocks and just forget about them i love Anubias. Some i have now are growing out the water
Add more of the tetra's you already have. fish look better in groups of their own species, just look how good 30 pirahna look.
I don't mind the background at all and I'd love to see more gourami and some other medium body fish. Maybe like 300 shrimp to set up a self susstaining population and make use of all that awesome algae on the back wall. Maybe they wouldn't all get eaten in those numbers
For fish to add, seeing you love the gourami, why not African butterfly fish? I vote for keeping the tetras the same kind, or maybe add another school of something like red eye tetras and more of what you have.
Have you considered microglanis bumblebee catfish?
I would move the geo's, why let 2 fish dictate the stocking levels of all that space
Low key that’s his most anticlimactic tank it’s looking pretty rough
Joey keep in mind congo tetras are find nippers and WILL nip those beautiful trailers on the Geophagus😊
I have never had issues with altum angel or sveni geophagus coming after tankmates like bigger tetras (altum angels with definitely eat smaller tetras like neon)
A dozen of denison barbs will take this tank to the next level
The fx6 has an output, that u can connect a hose to and never need to disconnect from the main tank ever again. Look towards the bottom opposite the motor case
I would put a bigger floating plant. something like Nile cabbage. The root structure would be beautiful in that tank. An it's easy to control.
@JOEY I think you should get a big school of rainbow fish
Public comment was added to the comment section of this video, just f the engagement
needs a giant goldfish
How about a few Hatchet fish. Very cool fish, school, and stay to the top of the tank. I enjoyed them when I used to keep them in my aquarium
An epic sized school of tiny fish could be something in that 16ft tank. Something tight schooling, so they'll move across the whole tank in a shiny, colorful ball.
We see what you did there. Putting a clip of Joe Rogan on purpose. 4:56
I think it would just look better to embrace the blue and not let the algae grow on it so much.
That 16 footer is going to turn into a large vast micro fish tank and the largest fish in that tank is going to be a king half moon betta fish 🤣😂
Joey I don't remember if you've ever tried it but a plant I've had good luck with is water sprite. Like you I've had best luck with low light plants and it's a good plant for filling a space out.
They all Will be doing good, thats a big thank, space for everyone
That tank is ugly
You should get one gold gourami to go with the pack!!
Leopard Danios have such lovely fins as well as their behavior is awesome. They are shoaling instead of schooling so they swim around a lot in a starling style murmur. Yes, a big whirlwind cloud of fish endlessly moving. They won't stay in one place and will cause the other fish to swim around as well.

I'm waiting for Joey to change the blue background ( Day 1)
Zebras/ neon and shrimp
I get excited thinking that you about to clean the algae off the wall. Plz
Maybe hornwort. Or floating plants.
What about more oxygen? Sponge filters until u get more plants first oxygen.
Add plecos
Congo tetras are a great idea. The angels nd Geos won’t bother the other fis unless they come near their babies.
I think a huge school of cardinal tetras would look good in there
I like the new additions, especially the Clown Loaches and the Gouramis. I think Longfin German Blue Rams and striped hillstream loaches would look good in this style of tank if you are still considering other fish to add.
You could add pecacock bass to the biggest tank
You need to get like 50 to 100 clown loaches for that tank that would look amazing because they’re all bottomed dwellers
I wouldn't trust small tetra with Altums, maybe if they were added when the Altums were smaller. No idea about Geophagus. Clown Loaches and Pearl Gouramis should do fine.
Please get those Congo terra buddy !!!!!!!!!!
I think a few rainbowfish would be awesome in there, might act as dither fish as well
My LFS has a long tank with lots of threadfin tetra in it and they are constantly moving from one end to the other in a big school. It is a really cool scene.
