I will be posting videos and progress of the fish room build on my Instagram so follow me @ryowatanabee if you haven’t already. The insulation and walls should be going in very very soon, I promise!! Maybe you'll start seeing it in the next few weeks.
I've really enjoyed watching your fish room evolve over time. I did want to mention, however, that camallanus worms have a direct life cycle and are ovoviviparous, so if one rainbow was infected, so are all the others plus any other fish that have contacted that tank. You will need to treat them all to avoid a massive infection. Moving plants from one tank from another also likely transferred larvae to some of your other tanks.
Build a wooden frame around the pond and add wood panels, cheapest is usually fencing materials, plants along the sides and back and pale coloured gravel on the bottom will hide the blue pond and make the goldfish stand out better.
@@RyoWatanabee I CAN'T WAIT! And you just take your time with the Epic Fish Room build. You do not need to hurry for us. Time and money are hard to come by, so use it wisely. ;) Your inspiration will come more freely if you don't rush yourself. We will be patient.
Definitely think you should do it dirted just bake some dirt from your back garden and put a thin layer and cap with sand plants will take off and go crazy i saw you worry about mess but you shouldn't really need to pull any plants out
I’m jealous of all of the Medaka you have available to you. I would love to find some of the tri color ones here, but no one seems to have them. Great video and I can’t wait to see the pond!
strayed away from the fish hobby but still love your videos man also I must say as an American your English is suspiciously good but keep it up brother.
ah blue tub , maybe you can epoxy waterproofing or pondliner the internal black, i bought this type of tub before i think its laguna brand and it comes in black
Hi Ryo! How's it going....bro....you have sooo much space in that room. You can create some amazing scapes. I agree, rescape the tank. You could put in some insulated flooring and paint the whole place....would look epic.
Your plant at 10:30 looks like broad leaf Indian water fern. (Ceratopteris thalictroides) I have some but the leaves on mine are not as wide as that one. Narrow leaf Indian water fern looks pretty good too if you can get some of them. Edit, just had a thought, perhaps the leaves might be so broad if they’re growing on the surface?
Thanks Pete, I’m not setting any tanks up until I get the walls and insulation in. Next vid or the vid after you’ll see walls and I’ll start getting some tanks set up again
Have you ever considered doing a dirtied tank? I've just tried it, and I'm getting better plant growth than I have in my other two tanks. I think all my setups in future will be dirtied (better water stability too).
I think you should try sticking that giant floating plant in the pond outside!! Unless the goldfish will tear it up? Oh and your backyard gives me anxiety b/c of Habu snakes here in Okinawa and I know they'd love your yard lol We have to keep everything really trimmed up here. My backyard is a thick line of trees and plants and it's full of banana spiders and looks too scary to go too close lol
You can’t heat or cool that room because there’s literally no insulation in that room. You need to break down the room and insulate. Japanese windows are single pane so you’ll lose so much heat or cooling through the window. Condensation is going to be your worse enemy in that type of building and it’ll create tons of mold
Yup, I’ve already got plans for the window and I have customs lids on every tank. Plus I can get a dehumidifier. And if you watch long enough, I mention that I will be insulating this room
@@anthonyl5600 this isn’t America a lot of Japanese houses arent built to last. But Ryo’s place is a typical Japanese sheet metal storage space. Most people in Japan literally let houses waste away and demolish and build a new house or just turns into an Akiya. Right now my summer house is a built out shipping container that was slid under an Akiya house’s overhang (the framed structure is still sound) but the walls and interior are not.
What not to do ..... Don't know if you noticed but MD's Fish tanks look great when he create's them, but after two weeks they are all without exception a disaster of allgae, overgrown plants , dying fish etc etc .....
@@077hercules I think he plants too much from the start so it looks good for us. Instead of waiting to grow in naturally. It ends up a jungle! It's weird b/c I've never had algae problems and I leave my lights on for like 12 hours (sometimes more haha). Oh and how many fish die? I know he casually mentions some dying or disappearing and doesn't seem to care too much, but it doesn't seem too often.
@@rara5212 there isnt many fish thay die with him at all ! His tanks end up with algae but that's due to alot of them being new everyone's tanks get algae his older tanks that are full of plants get no algae at all
I love watching the videos. But it seems like Ryo constantly has a plan to do something and it never gets done. Ie- if the backyard needs to get cleaned up why not work on it first and then tackle the pond project.
Have you ever think of making your hobby as a source of income, to support your hobby since you have alot of emersed plants, tank and fishes you have and u breed 🤔
