Wow, it’s so interesting to see the aquariums under a microscope & all of the tiny organisms consuming the diatoms! 😱 I’ve definitely spotted very tiny worms on my aquarium glass. The tank has been running for a while so I’m curious to know what else is in there
Love it. Reminds me of my aquaculture college days we would spending in the tropical fish lab looking for new things to identify from tanks in the labs. Also doing fish scraps and identifying fish disease
It's really cool to see this sort of stuff from someone who has the equipment. Maybe you could do a video on the way that you view "cycling" because you seem to use the term to imply more than just nitrifying bacteria development.
I want to thank you. I had concerns about microorganisms in my FBT tank. I’m a school custodian so I took a water sample to work & looked under a micro scope & I am amazed , if I had not watched your video I wouldn’t of known what I was looking at.I have a healthy tank water. Thank You for your video
Thanks! I was just taking some macro video using my iPhone and had some bacteria show up. Kind of blew my mind my phone picked that up. This helped me figure out what they were - specifically if they were harmful or beneficial bacteria! (Beneficial)
I have always been endlessly fascinated by the varieties of life that exist in a drop of water. So cool to see. Thank you so much for sharing the micro side of our aquariums. More please.
Super cool. I had tons of those little white wormy things all over my tank not long after I set it up and just as quickly as they appeared they disappeared
I'm with ginger, where does everything appear from? Just been reading about microbes in the earths crust under the sea, so they're confident life is on Mars. It blows my mind, where is my beer! 🍻
They are everywhere, on the floor, dust, the air, water, literally everywhere. On the aquarium certain conditions allow for the growth and reproduction of some of those organisms adapted to live underwater. Some microorganisms live in your pillow and eat dead skin cells. They are EVERYWHERE.
Very interesting, nature is a wonderful thing..But how do we get rid of the brown diatoms ? They have been spoiling my tank for months , I’ve had weekly one third water changes , I certainly don’t over feed , I’ve tried more light then less light more duration less duration , changed the gravel substrate nothing works ..Yet my other tank has never had it , both set up within a week of each other , some say it will go away but it’s been five months now ...What a beautiful microscope that is , yes very interesting, thank you .
Hi sir,i have a lot of these infusoria on my cloudy tank because i just change my filter recently,.now my question is,does it help my water to be clear?
Are nitrate fixing bacteria a thing? I know about the NH3 and nitrite fixing bacteria, but I was informed that there is a nitrate fixer as well. Is there any merit to this?
To imagine these organisms don't even know we exist. They just going about their business saying "Hi! Wanna smash?" to each other. One day one of them is going to get bored of the redundancy and do something out of this ordinary. And so the cycle continues...
