Did he DESTROY Our Aquascape?! Adding a Monster Fish to a Nature Aquarium Mega Build ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ Today we get to see if our aquascape will work for our fish or if it will be destroyed by our Andinoacara Rivulatus as he is first introduced to his new planted tank. We have been planning this planted tank build for months with the hopes of providing a more natural environment for our monster fish. We show our monster fishes reactions to being introduced to his new heavily planted aquascape style nature aquarium layout. Throughout this planted tank mega build series, we show you exactly how we went about setting up a planted tank with a large aggressive cichlid. This is not a setup that will work for every monster fish keeper out there but opens the door to new possibilities. Some hardier plants may work in certain setups or even mosses may be possible with even some of the more aggressive cichlid tanks. This particular aquascape layout was designed with our cichlid in mind using plants that have a better chance of working, as well as leaving spaces to provide a cave for our fish. We really tried to understand what our fish likes and needs in his tank to provide him with a more natural environment that would work for him in his own nature aquarium. His reaction was not quite as expected. Keyko, our Andinoacara Rivulatus "green terror" Cichlid, played dead immediately upon seeing the net. When first introduced to the tank he quickly went and found his cave in the back of the scape. It took him a little while before our timid cichlid started to explore his new planted tank environment. So far, we have not been able to get the best footage because everytime he sees the camera he stares it down. On the bright side, he has not damaged any plants and so far seems to be doing well in the new aquascape. It's not often that you see a large, aggressive cichlid in a high tech planted tank but so far everything seems to be working well. We look forward to providing future updates on the planted tank build and our fish. None of this planted tank build would have been possible without the help, support and guidance of many. We can't thank all the people who helped make this happen enough.
