This simple-made film shows a view into 3 aquariums where I keep and breed the Hypancistrus zebra (also known as L46).

Each of the two bigger tanks has 2 or 3 filters, plus extra supply with oxygene (via airpump). This gives some safety and the needed water quality. The catfish breed all around the year.

Temperature is set to 27-28 centigrades, the heaters are made of titanium with external sensors and regulation (Schego).

Food is a mix of high quality granulates and brine shrimp eggs (similar to what we feed discus with). I almost never feed live or frozen food to my zebras, since I had very bad experiences and losses caused by rotten (I assume) food.

A rare little species from Thailand.
I keep them in a nano-aquarium and will try to breed them (in another tank without shrimps). This species was considered being extinct (or almost) in Thailand and could return to its homewaters via a breeder from Germany.

A longish, mostly calm film, showing life within aquaristic surroundings, featuring various sweet- and saltwater souls. And a few others...

Made without much 'boohoo' technically. Read: it's not perfect. :)

A few moments with some shrimps and crayfish that I keep and breed in my aquariums.
This time I used the Raynox 250 Macro lens (on the Canon HV20). It's a task - esp. when used without a tripod - like here. Still a lot to practice!

This time I constructed the sounds myself - another challenge for this newbie. :)

This is a short video of my 6 month old reef aquarium.
A lot of the corals, fish and rock were in my old 100 gallon aquarium and were transfered to the new tank once it was cycled (once the tank was healthy enough to support life). So even though the tank has been running for 6 months it might look a little older than that.
I've had a lot of comments/questions about the cool white fish with red spots. The common name of that fish is Red Spotted Blenny (Istiblennius chrysospilos). One of these days I'll make a video with just that one fish.
The aquarium: 150g starphire glass tank- 60x24x24, with a 35g sump and 45g refugium underneath. Lighting: two 250w Helios 20K metal halides (Luminarc reflectors) plus two 5' T5 actinics. Flow is provided by two Rio Hyperflow returns, two Seio powerheads in the tank and a closed loop that feeds lockline all along the back of the tank. I use Ocean Pure salt.
Tech sutff: shot with a Canon XH-A1 and edited in Adobe Premiere. For many of the shots a Canon 500D and or Century Optics Achromatic Diopter was/were used too. Tripod for everything.
Thanks for watching!
