☕ Un Café con PezVerde: Respondiendo las Preguntas que Siempre Tuviste (y Nunca Preguntaste)

Welcome to A Coffee with PezVerde, the space where we sit down and chat one-on-one about aquariums, fish, plants, and aquascaping while answering those questions you all have… but many of you never dared to ask. In this episode, two of our colleagues, Carlos and Carmen, answer real questions from customers, beginners, and advanced aquarists. From how many fish to put in your aquarium, how to intensify red tones in plants, to how to balance a high-tech setup or know if your filter is properly sized. If you have an aquarium or are thinking about starting one, this video is for you. If you've been in the hobby for years… it's for you too 😉☕ 🎙️ Topics we cover today: 0:00 Introduction 1:54 How often should we prune plants? 2:54 How many fish can I have in my aquarium? 4:40 Is it always mandatory to use nutrient-rich substrate? 6:35 Why do my fish die shortly after I add them? 7:40 How much light does an aquarium need? 9:07 Can I mix any pretty fish with others? 11:07 What plants are recommended for beginners? 12:24 How often should I feed my fish? 14:10 How do I know if I need to add CO2 to my aquarium? 16:20 How do I know if my water parameters are adequate? 17:31 How do I know if my lighting is sufficient for what I want to do? 19:35 How can I prevent newly purchased fish from becoming stressed or sick? 21:54 How can I prevent algae from invading a planted aquarium? 23:23 Is it necessary to use a heater if my house is warm? 24:42 What fertilizers should I use: NPK, Micronutrients, Both...? 27:21 How do I identify aggressive or territorial behavior? 32:15 How do I achieve intense red colors in demanding plants? 33:41 How do I set up a realistic and functional biotope aquarium? 34:35 How do I balance CO2, light, and nutrients when one is out of sync? 37:49 Which species are incompatible due to water chemistry? 41:19 How do I keep carpeting plants from being uprooted? 44:45 How do I know if my filter is properly sized? 46:27 How do I differentiate nutritional deficiencies in the leaves? 49:21 How can I try to identify diseases without any equipment, and what should I do? 💬 Do you have more questions?
