My 90l Tank - Full Setup, Fish Choices & how it Changed Direction

Описание: In this video I’m setting up this aquarium from scratch, talking through the full process and how the plan for this tank changed along the way.
The original idea was to scape this tank with kribensis cichlids in mind, but as the build progressed it naturally evolved into an Asian community aquarium. In this 30-minute setup I show everything - from dry scaping the rock layout, through substrate and planting, to a an update on fish selection, what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what the next steps are.
Current stocking includes:
7 Cherry barbs
6 Five-banded barbs
1 Pearl gourami (I said sparkling gourami in the video - it was late!)
4 Zebra loaches
1 Bristlenose pleco (relocated from another tank)
This is a realistic, honest setup - including changes of direction, compromises, and lessons learned - rather than a perfectly planned aquascape from day one.
