I met someone today who told me he can't keep fish alive. He walked into my fish room and he couldn't believe all my of FF fish tanks! I told him about you and your natural tanks. He almost fell over when I told him that hardly ever have a fish die and never do water changes. I offered to help him setup a Father Fish tank. I hope he takes me up on it. Love you FF. You're the best!

I have a tank about 4 years now, it is a natural jungle aquarium. I love jungle style too☺️ i keep it simple, deep substrate, no CO2, no filter, no ferts. I'm just leaving the nature do her job. Plants and fish are fine, living happy. Feed the fish twice a week. Water change 10% once in 3 month. Like you said, it's not artistic but it is functional. I love it and i know my tank will work for many years. Thank you for all the lessons and important infos. Cheers.🤗

You are a danger to all fish supply whole sellers and that is why they are comming after you. This must end ! Got my used tank from exactly the type of people that you spoke about in this video - discouraged. Big tank and a very big fluvial system for 100$ Brand new it would have costed me *at least* 1400$ + + + Added 50$ for a water heater, a bubbler and a sponge filter. That is ALL ! They will not ear from me ever again after.

I'm a gardener, and I wanted a mini pond for plants. I did some research and realized I needed fish. I set up my pond with a bunch of plants, and rocks and as filter I made one with a pump and lava rock. Now I have three happy guppies living there, I was really freaked out with parameters, and expensive chemicals and equipment, but thankfully I found your videos and they have helped me a lot 😊

@timesnavin 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Father Fish for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. I have had a 16-gallon 4-year-old fish tank where I would lose fish regularly and was tired of water changes. After watching most of your videos, 2 months back I set up a 55-gallon tank using your deep substrate method, for the first time, the fish looked happy and healthy. Very few fish deaths since then and that too most probably because I overstocked a lot when I set up this tank and secondly all these fish came from big box stores. I filled the tank with live plants and now it is the attraction point in my house. I rarely feed the fish now, maybe once in 7 days. Your discord channel also has been of immense help, with you and members advising on problems and challenges that fish tank hobbyists like me face. Keep up the good work!

Fishtank building sounds like gardening ! , and it all makes sense. Gardening successfully and growing food is a survival skill learned by our ancestors who lived close with the land and reaped the harvest by learning from the land . You are correct about people trying and failing keeping a healthy fish tank.I love your natural way , which makes sense , as fish and aquatic plants and other stream dwelling creatures are living beings. I have always hated plastic plants and colored coated gravel . You are successful because your message of keeping a natural tank is STRONG. You are the fish tank Guru who is tried and true . Thanks for telling the mass population of well-intending people wanting to have a fish tank... that it can be easy and lovely if it is started naturally with love and knowledge of our aquatic friends which we want to thrive.

@ubermausse306 4 дня назад

I'm doing something unique with mine, it's an experimental tank testing various terrestrial plants to see if they'll adapt to being fully submerged. I've found that many common weeds will actually grow, if only with a few less leaves and a bit longer stems. The most successful ones are found in overgrown ditches or near gutter shutes where the rainwater collects. Most mosses will grow too, especially if you can keep an inch or so of its own dirt substrate. Common spider plants will also grow while being completely submerged, especially if it's done as a fresh sprout taken from a mature potted one. The few plants that fail in my tank get pulled out while their decayed material stays to feed the surviving ones. I've yet to find any that would actually poison or sully the water, and the 50+ guppy army in there seems to be thriving, same with the tetras, cherry barbs and cory cat (about 60 total count in a 29 gallon space, so far). The only issue right now is a bit of brown algae since I have no real algae eaters in the tank yet, I was overfeeding too much, the large population and now my refusal to do anymore water changes unless i see the fish stressing out or it gets too filthy in there....

Thinking of switching out my tank's to this method. And, may I ask how's your set up doing? Thank you kindly for your time.

@IRL.johnny 16 дней назад

@@dianeharbauer4506 I used organic potting soil plus some peat moss (I don't remember the ratios I mixed)... Father Fish gives instructions how to create his soil someplace... There's a Discord and a FB Father Fish group that would be perfect for questions about converting/creating tanks. My 20g tank is going well (8 months old?), though I moved my fish to a 55g tank. So my 20g is shrimp and snails right now :-D If I had it to do over again, I would have used pool filter sand, in my 20g I used a leveling sand, and it's pretty coarse... I think the plants and the fish both prefer the pool filter sand that I used in my 55g.

@Phillycheeseaquatics 9 месяцев назад

heyo, i can confirm you kinda have to be a little obsessed with aquatic life in general to have the motivation in the early stages of the aquarium hobby and keeping animals alive, even myself has gone through seeing my animals i baught from the store die and those were African dwarf frogs, i had live plants in there growing but didn't understand that it being a bare bottom new setup it did not have the necessary cycle and colonization of beneficial bacteria and organisms and that tank had crashed along with the frogs, i never gave up and spent a whole year at least 3 or 4 hours a day finding every bit of information about freshwater aquariums until i was confident enough to try again and i ended up succeeding from the knowledge shared from people that have been in the hobby already for years just like Father fish, i still have my first tank that was setup to this day and to some people it may look overstocked with fish but that water is gold because it has never been changed, the fish have bred several times in there, and the plants have taken over more than 70% of the tank.

Less algae all around, fish are also well. The only thing I do besides putting water in and a little food as I don't have enough of the small stuff naturally growing yet is take out the duckweed that grows on top. Duckweed is a wonderful filter and when too much grows, blocking too much light, I just remove a few hand fulls. Thanks, learning more with every video you show.

It was a pleasure sitting at the end of LIVE, I'll try and make a point of it! Big changes in the philosophy of the hobby and the species/breeds/hybrids available since I kept fish 45yrs ago. My scientific mind is now absolved about some of it. If bettas in the wild live in a ditch or runoff that surely isn't the best of conditions....and very subject to change, dramatically I would think. Anyway, I bought 4 female guppies a couple months ago....was just wanting to generate a culture in the tub. My intention/effort was geared towards raising aquarium plants. Next morning I had 12 babies. Been watching lots of videos, you, Alex, young Nick....7-8 different influencers regularly. When I went to my kiddie pool project, actually all along, I have buried sections of pantyhose(WTF?) stuffed with thick black dirt that I dug at the edge of the swamp up the street - I wanted the dirt, not the coloration/saturation. It seems to be working where it is planted, my fish explosion has exceeded my plant growth. Soon I expect to get to do some foraging on the river, I'm in C. Fla. right or wrong, this is where I'm at; thanks to all y'all: yesterday the neighbor commented, "Who would have thought you didn't need to sink $5-600 to have an aquarium! This looks really cool, nice display. It looks professional, something you'd see in a mall or something." The best part, that was the 2nd of those conversations last week; on top of the neighbor that saw the first 2 tubs and where it is now being kind of amazed and amused..... Considering I didn't really expect to be rearing any fish so soon. Those first 4 fish were just to bring the culture alive; force the cycle. I didn't expect any of those fish to survive, honestly....now I'm sure there are over 100, 2 of the broods controlled - so my first breeding generations.

@samsadowitz1724 10 месяцев назад

I find that planted tanks are 100 times easier to take care of than non planted tanks. I used test kits for the first few months, but after I found it stable, I basically put the kits down unless something goes horribly wrong (like all the newest additions die a few days after introduction) In my setup, the most advanced piece of equipment is my light and substrate (I used only eco complete, but when I move my tank, I'll put a sand cap on it to make it a FF tank). Only thing I can say for real advice on tank decor/hardscape+plants is to think like a fisherman. For example, see where the pros catch bass, crappie, and other fish and put similar places (on a MUCH smaller scale) in the tank.

I love your videos. I just you already have mentor someone to continue your legacy when you no longer with us. I desire that you live a whole lot longer and that you continue to stay healthy for yourself and us all. From Puerto Rico.

Gracias Adam. You are my students, all of you who are my friends and followers. I will leave hundreds, perhaps thousands of acolytes behind when I leave. A great movement will have been started to return this hobby to its roots.

I love the jungle and how you keep fish. I've been doing it for 15 years myself now. I get all my items and fish from outdoors. Love the channel

Hi Father Fish. I love your passion for harnessing the power of nature. Im 28 years old and i have kept fish for about 14 years on and off. You inspire me to not worry about the looks. Nature has its own beauty and i will follow your advice. ❤

Love this new and updated video that is perfect to share. I always loved having a fish tank and I think other people would also want to know the right way to do it. Setting mine up soon and so excited.
