The important thing is that maintenance is not a pain.
Please tell us how you started aquariums and terrariums.
My younger brother, who is nine years apart, has loved living things since he was a child. I kept goldfish and tropical fish. When I was a child, I loved living things, like turtles and beetles.
I used to keep small birds, but after I grew up, I didn't keep anything.
Later, I decided to put it in a 30cm aquarium for the sake of my children. I started keeping medaka fish and eventually moved on to tropical fish.
My brother bought an aquarium set when we were keeping tropical fish. What he gave me was the path to the aquarium.
I thought it was a good idea to start an aquarium because My two recently born grandchildren are seriously looking at the aquarium.
Is there anything in particular I should be careful about with an aquarium or terrarium?
The most important thing is that maintenance such as water changes is not a pain. I want to feel like I'm having fun doing it. If that becomes stressful, it won't do anything.
I've been aquatic for a long time, but I started doing it about five years ago. Instagram was a big turning point. Your knowledge is amazing as well as your wonderful layouts! I've been doing aquariums for a long time just by feeling, so I'm learning a lot. I will continue to strive for further improvement and make the fish as pleasant as possible. I want to live a long life. I want to keep the aquatic plants looking beautiful without moss growing.
There is light that is comfortable for both plants and fish.
Have you ever kept an aquarium or terrarium and felt like you failed?
I have failed many times, but the one that I thought was the worst was... It's getting cold and it's time to prepare and install the heater. When I got home and looked into the aquarium at the entrance, I noticed that the fish were acting strange. The glass is hot to the touch! When I looked at the thermometer, it was about 35 degrees Celsius... That's right, I forgot to put the heater sensor in the water. Fortunately, I changed the water quickly and the fish were fine, but... At this point I was nervous. Afterwards, use oxydol to get rid of blue-green algae. I've had fish die by adding too much water.
What are the important points when it comes to aquarium lighting and terrarium lighting?
In the past, all you needed was light! All you needed was brightness! What a feeling it was. I didn't really care. However, recently, it has become popular for both plants and fish, including interior design. There is a comfortable light! That's what I found out. When choosing lighting, you should think about ``what is comfortable light?
One morning, as I was looking at the aquarium bathed in the morning sun, How beautiful, sparkling and refreshing! I thought. That was when I felt that natural light was the most beautiful. I posted something on Instagram before, Amaterasu's light looks almost the same as natural light. That's why I love Amaterasu's light. I also like the Tsukuyomi light, which has warm colors and gentle soothing light. And the flickering reflected on the ceiling is an indescribably wonderful effect.
When you feel frustrated, listen to the opinions of others
Please give a message to Aqua beginners and users.
I think aquariums are a very deep and wonderful hobby. At first, you will make many mistakes and feel a sense of frustration. I think that may be the case. In such cases, consider other people's opinions. That means listening a lot. I am through Instagram I have absorbed know-how from the people I have met. The pH and hardness of tap water differs depending on the region. The breeding environment also differs depending on the person. So, how is it suitable for you? I think it is important to find a breeding management method that is easy to do.
What do aquariums and terrariums mean to you?
It's soothing. And it's the best hobby I've come across!
thank you very much.
