I currently have a 125 gallon aquarium monster community aquarium. I am planning on setting up 2 other aquariums. What are the 2 other aquariums that I plan on setting up?  What fish do I plan on keeping? I am going to discuss everything you should know about my aquarium hobby and I will also be giving out some information on certain species of fish! This will be a fun show for sure!PLANNED FOR THE SHOW:~ Aqua Alex's Freshwater Community Aquarium~ Aqua Alex's Saltwater Aquarium~ Information on certain fish species
Did you know that there are catfish that stay under 4''? Mini catfish you say? YES! Corydoras catfish are perfect for community aquariums and smaller aquariums. Most corydoras catfish do not exceed 3-4''. This makes them perfect for home aquariums. Corydoras catfish come from South America and they have hundreds of species in the genus Corydoras. I love Corydoras catfish and am even thinking about setting up a community aquarium with them and a small school of tetras. On this episode of The Catfish Cave, find out about Corydoras catfish  as Aqua Alex discusses everything you need to know. Plus, hear an interview from the late great corydoras legend Lynn Mathney as she discusses her love of corydoras catfish. She used to breed cory catfish and has a lot of knowledge on corydoras!
Most of the tropical fish species that I really enjoy come from South America and the Amazon river. The Amazon River is home to thousands of different aquatic animals including tropical fish. Wild caught fish are interesting to keep in the home aquarium because of their colors and natural look. Over 90 percent of freshwater tropical fish that come into the hobby are farm raised and are often not even from the countries of orgin where the fish would be found in nature.Deep in the heart of South America’s Amazon Basin, in one of the most pristine and bio-diverse areas on earth, the Rio Negro stretches nearly 2300 kilometers before joining the Amazon itself near the Brazilian city of Manaus. The world’s largest “black water” river, its unique tea-colored water is home to nearly 800 species of freshwater fish, many of which are found nowhere else on earth.One of these fish—the Cardinal Tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi)—gained worldwide attention after its discovery in the 1950’s. With its vibrant blue-and-red coloration and peaceful schooling behavior, it immediately attracted the attention of the growing aquarium hobby. Over time, an entire industry grew up in the region based on collecting, transporting, and exporting these and other tropical fish species to supply home aquariums, mainly in the US and Europe.Find out all about Project Piaba and hope buying a fish can save a tree and help Rio Negro. What species of fish does Project Piaba deal with?
Every tropical fish hobbyist loves getting new fish. Trust me take it from me one of my favorite things about the aquarium hobby is getting new fish. The problem with getting new fish is that there is no way of really knowing where the fish has come from unless the store tells you. There is no way of knowing what conditions the fish has been exposed too, what diseases and parasites the fish has been exposed too and what stress level the fish has been through. Quarantine aquariums are very important when it comes to making sure your current fish and your new fish all stay healthy.What is quarantine? a state, period, or place of isolation in which people or animals that have arrived from elsewhere or been exposed to infectious or contagious disease are placed. They are placed here and given meds to heal.Join me Aqua Alex as I explain the important of QT tanks and why you should have atleast one!PLANNED FOR THE SHOW:~ WHY QT TANKS ARE IMPORTANT~ SETTING UP A QT TANK~ MOINTORING NEW FISHAND MORE!
Pimelodus catfish are a very nice genus of catfish that hail from South American. They are generally very hardy and there are many species too choose from all reaching different adult sizes.

Most species of Pimelodus can be kept in home aquariums with other species of catfish and larger growing fish.

Keeping tropical fish in aquariums means that we must take care of them and feed them a nutritious diet. In order to have healthy colorful and active tropical fish in our aquariums, we must provide them with a quality nutritious diet! Feeding tropical fish may seem easy but there is a lot that goes into it to make sure that your tropical fish lives a good day! In the wild, tropical fish have access to numerous amounts of food sources from which include live fish, crustaceans, algae, plants, fruits, and other sources. How can we implement this in the aquarium hobby? What are some quality fish foods Aqua Alex recommends? All that and more will be discussed on this episode of Aquarium Hobbyist Podcast.Planned for the Show:~ Aqua Alex's Recommended Tropical Fish Food Brands~ Best Human Foods to Feed Tropical Fish~ Foods used to enhance ColorationAND MORE!Check out my Other Projects outside tropical fish keeping:In the Kitchen with Alex Cardinale:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC19zYJcYtfCSMHAvCUC1qsASee me Cook Chicken Parmigana with a friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoTzSRYz0fISupport Paul Aramouni and Buy his Non fiction book more details here: https://store.bookbaby.com/book/the-truth-of-the-unknown-interpreter2
I, Aqua Alex am a huge fan of catfish. I like having exotic catfish in my aquariums. In every freshwater aquarium that I've had I have had some sort of catfish. One species of catfish I really adore is the Shovelnose catfish. There are many different species  of shovelnose catfish available to the aquarium hobby but the 2 I love the most are the Lima Shovelnose (Sorubim) and the Tiger Shovelnose (Pseudoplatystoma), Believe it or  not there are many species of lima shovelnose and tiger shovelnose but most available to the aquarium hobby grow to decent sizes and require large aquariums. If you are a monster fish lover like myself, these catfish are perfect for you to keep in your aquarium.Find out all about the shovelnose catfish species and how to keep them in the home aquarium.PLANNED FOR THE SHOW:-- INFORMATION ON THE LIMA SHOVELNOSE CATFISH --- INFORMATION ON TIGER SHOVELNOSE CATFISHEnjoy the show!!!Check out my Other Projects outside tropical fish keeping:In the Kitchen with Alex Cardinale Youtube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC19zYJcYtfCSMHAvCUC1qsASUBSCRIBE TO MY BEST FRIEND ON YOUTUBE- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIdHudBBT75TWY2j-6xg0GQ

Shrimp are popular aquarium dwellers, and here https://www.theaquariumkeeper.com/smallest-freshwater-shrimp you can learn more about the best options for the smallest freshwater shrimp. They prefer low- and moderately lit environments, so you shouldn't take powerful lamps. In addition, excessive lighting provokes active growth of algae.

Many hobbyists began their first steps in aquarium keeping with the purchase of a betta fish. This is due to the amazing endurance of bettas and the ability to be kept in small aquarium volumes. However, keeping a betta in an aquarium should be done taking into account some of the characteristics of this fish; I advise you to learn more about this here https://www.theaquariumkeeper.com/betta-fins-shredded-overnight-possible-causes
