How to Clean Sand in a Fish Tank
In this video I demonstrate how I clean the sand in my betta tank. For the most part, my crawfish Logan keeps the sand really clean, but I still need to siphon out some debris from time to time. An advantage of keeping sand in a fish tank over gravel is that debris does not fall in between spaces and cracks. The debris stays on top of the sand which allows for easy access for cleaning, and gives the water filter a better chance of clearing it out. Additionally, using sand can give a fish tank an appealing ‘natural look.’ All I used is a rubber tube, a bucket, and some water. It is recommended that you change at least 10% of the water once a month, even if you don’t see much debris.

Aquarium fish tank baby fry black mollies molly babies six weeks old
Here are my two new babies at six and a half weeks old. They are black mollies and are about 3/4″ long. Notice the row of quarters near the aquarium to compare how small they are. I’m a new aquarium enthusiast and was so surprised to have these tiny little fish born in my very first aquarium! Right now, they live in a one gallon tank with a “baby hide-out” which is an artificial grass hiding place for the fry. An Asian style miniature bridge is also in the aquarium for hiding and swimming through.
When they get big enough, in about six months, I was told, they can move back into the regular aquarium. This is a top view. Please see my other video showing them. Please ignore brightness, etc, I’m new to aquariums and new to take fish videos.

Adolescent Beasts of Tropical Freshwater Aquaria
This is my Juwel Rio 400 in my student house, although this mixture of fish is not typical it is a useful experiment to see what can be achieved with adolescent boistrous fish a bit of space and extensive observation. I understand that this mixture is not ideal for certain species especially when considering expected growth rates and heightened competition for food and territory, so even though things are going well at the moment I know something larger will be neccisary in the next 6 months. Some of these fish I have been caring for a while whilst others were aquired through customers at work or specialist retailers.
The fish in this aquarium are;
1X Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus)
2X Green Terror (Aequidens rivulatus)
1X Madacascan Cichlid (Paratilapia polleni)
1X Red Shoulder Severum (Heros severus)
1X Purple Spotted Goby/Gudgeon (Mogurnda adspersa)
1X Puntius sp.
1X Black Shark (Labeo chrysophekadion)
3X Sun Catfish (Horabagrus brachysoma)
2X Plecostomus (Hypostomus plecostomus)
1X Gold Spot Plecostomus(L1)
1X Striped Talking Catfish (Platydoras costatus)
1X Pictus Catfish (Pimelodus pictus)
1X Sucking Loach (Gyrinocheilus aymonieri)
1X Blue Crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus)
1X Yoyo Loach (Botia almorhae)
