Morning Fish Freaks!

I will be heading to Melbourne over this weekend for a concert so fish/invert sales are on pause!

Online sales for fish food via delivery are still on.

Thanks everyone and have a stunning weekend, and I hope the weather didnt impact anyone's fish too badly 💓

Perfecting your guppy water parameters starts with using Salty Shrimp kH/gH or any other gH/kH remineralizer to get that hardness just right.

Guppies thrive in harder water, and using a mineralizer is the easiest way to ensure their environment stays stable. I walk through exactly how I mix it into my tap water in a bucket before it ever hits the tank. This simple step prevents drastic swings and keeps your fish healthy.

It's worth also noting that this video is not sponsored by Salty Shrimp; I just love their product. Also this is not something beginners should dabble with.

Always remember to mix your fresh water in a separate container first. It makes the water change process much safer for your livestock. Proper aquarium water chemistry is one of the easiest ways to keep your fish vibrant and active, but only attempt it if you understand properly.

Do you use mineral supplements for your guppies, or do you stick to tap water? Maybe you prefer rain water? Let me know in the comments, and as always SPLASH the Subscribe button to become a Fish Freak!

Watching red neon blue eyes fish spar is fascinating, but here is why they are actually just fighting their own reflection.

These males are locked in a serious standoff. Seeing this kind of fish sparring is fascinating. It is common aquarium fish behavior when fish mistake their own reflection for a rival male, but in this instance there IS another fish on the other side of the glass!

It might look like an intense territorial dispute, but the glass barrier is the only reason they are acting this way. Usually one would flee whilst the other goes about his business.

Early morning for me! One of my dads co-workers donated this old tank to me, so I will be spending some time this morning cleaning it up and getting it ready!

There are some chips and cracks on one of the lid braces but I can always break the tank down and reseal it if need be similar to one of the other tanks I did!
