About a good environment,working similar to natural biological cycle in the habitats of our fish...
You may know,that know since round about three decades I am working with fully planted tanks for keeping and breeding angelfish.Since the middle of the 90s of last century,I have measurable seen,that the quaranteen of wild caught angelfish is more successful and with a lower rate of losses in fully planted tanks related to so called quaranteen bare bottom tanks with the use of medication etc.. I have learnt to understand so much better,that for example,that the digestion system of such wc angelfish need a long term period,before it is working fully again. The eating of algaes and young leafes by the fish during the first weeks of its adaption and quaranteen helps enormous,to regulate naturally the working aspects of building a new microbiom in its digestion system.
Also for the keeping of angelfish it is usedul,to work with fully planted tanks. It means less work for us and better possibilities for observation of the fish,because the fish can develope its natural behaviour in such tanks. At least it is very useful for breeding angelfish because of its round running biological cycle for optimized water conditions and because of its enormous natural ressources for spawning substrates, for food ressources like biofilms at leafes.
However, as angelfish enthusiasts we really can see the differences and can profit for more joy and success in our breathtaking hobby.
