15 mins in and my over arching comment is the fella who owns all of these tanks/fish is an excellent narrator, very articulate and properly knowledgeable. Makes things so much more engaging. Proper kudos to the chap and his fish.

I think you were the first comment. I really appreciate it very kind. Thanks

@@lda1055hey mate just wondering where you get the caves for your large pleco's I have some cactus plecs I've had since they were 5cm and now they are over 9 inches and I can't seem to find anything suitable for them. If you have any suggestions I would really appreciate it, thanks

@bobhadland2554 16 дней назад

It's nice to see dedicated aqurists still keeping this fascinating hobby alive. I won the catfish show of Great Britain in 1980 with a pimolodus picture and got 3rd place with a bunocephalus amarus banjo catfish. So to see these pleco , s is absolutely amazing.

@lda1054 11 дней назад

Thanks Bob. Wow 1980! That’s amazing. I started fish keeping in 86! Loved the fish shows . The uk was great for that back in the day. I remember the Aquarian adverts with best fish in show and awards presentations by Dr David Ford. Legendary times and era. Thanks so much for watching and sharing. 👊

@bobhadland2554 11 дней назад

@lda1054 Yes, great days still have some of the old F.B.A.S. show standard books gathering dust .I've just spotted my spelling error pictus, not picture. Had a guy in our aquarium club who was the first person to breed neon tetras in captivity . I just keep Malawi cichlids these days.

Hope Mick goes back soon for a catch up on what's new. Great fishroom and guy!

@lda1054 11 дней назад

Hi Colin Filtration is via the sump with jap matting , koi brushes and Alfagrog which is a porous ceramic material. The water change is straight tap water . Comes out the tap at 7.5 ph but it can drop quickly so I buffer the tanks with crushed coral and oyster shell to keep the ph 7 . These animals are big and can make the ph drop even with big water changes . Thanks for asking bro. 👊

@dh38429 Год назад

What a great fish house Julian has! When I was about 6 or 7 my older brother and I had a tank with just a few guppies. One day he took me to see a friend of his who had a fish house. It wasn't much more than a garden shed crammed with small tanks, but after 50 years I still vividly remember the warmth, the humidity, and the bubbling filters. Julian hit the nail on the head when he said "Little tanks with little worlds in them" - that's exactly what I thought back then in that fish house. I've been hooked ever since.

@lda1054 Год назад

Thanks Derek! When I started keeping fish in 86 it was the most powerful memory as a young fish keeper walking in to a fish shop and just being immersed in a whole new world 😁 Thanks

@bobsmith2177 Год назад

@leeetherington6451 Год назад

Really enjoyed this video, so much so I've watched it 4 times lol. I use to keep loads of cats , especially pseudacanthicus species some 25 years ago and have some real beauties back in the day. L25 has always been my favourite species by far. After a 6 year gap from keeping and breeding fish I'm now back. Watching and listening to this video is very enspiring. I have some 15 cats at the moment, mostly pseudacanthicus, ( I need more lol ) Can relate to the 5x3x2 tank as I had 2, 5x3x2's and a 6x3x2 which I use to breed my stingrays in...back in the day when they were alot rarer and harder to breed then they are today, great size tanks. Many thanks for sharing your collection with us and keep up the great work👍🏻 Lee.

@lda1054 Год назад

Your exactly the reason why Mick does what he does! I’m glad your back in! And glad you enjoy it. I definitely enjoyed it once I got over the fear of being on the internet! I just wanted to share and not hold back mate. So thank you Lee and keep us updated. I’m hoping more Uk fish keepers come forward to Mick and we can encourage each other. Much appreciated 👍

@paradiseaquatics8202 Год назад

Regarding sponge filter in a shop you have to remember that the shop is constantly changing water when taking fish in and out of the tanks, you can also consider under gravel filter for a 3/4 ft tank which worked well back in the day before modern filters and still does. And the fish looked amazing mate, awesome tour 👍

@rikardfriberg9529 Год назад

Was the fish room insulated at all ? He had some nice fish im there like. I liked his scobinancistrus L082

@lda1055 Год назад

Thank you! Yes it's 4" all round. My mistake was not insulating the concrete floor but....it's too late 🙂. Yes I also like the L82. I'm looking forward to seeing the younger ones pattern development

What was the advise on feeding mussels as not heard what he said before

@MicksFishUk Год назад

Check out martins pleco room I put the video up about 6 months ago mate he explains everything on there 👍🏻

@lilmatty11 Год назад

@@MicksFishUk thanks will have to go back and try and find the video as now getting in pleco and don’t want to be harming them with mussels

@lda1055 Год назад

Hi Matt. Yes Martin will explain. I found the dark material inside and the rubbery rind to be a problem for the small ones. Big plecos...no problems 🙂

@marknorris8802 Год назад

This is an amazing video! Mick can you point me in the direction of the information about the mussels, I feed my own typhoons these and I'm wondering if there's a reason I shouldn't? Cheers 🙂

Hey mate thanks for watching mate. I put a video up about 6 months ago. It’s was all about a another impressive pleco room. It was called martins pleco room. Check it out all the information is on there mate he shows you a muscle and how to do it. Another very good video to watch if you love your plecos mate 👍🏻

Hi Mark. I just found that the dark material in mussels can bind up in the intestine. By all means feed mussels whole to the big fish but the smaller ones I'll just give them prawn, pellets and if I feed mussels I'll just give them the orange bit and cut out the rind and the dark material

@marknorris8802 Год назад

@@lda1055 Hello. Thanks for your reply. That makes perfect sense. I suppose I've been lucky that I've not had any problems but I'll definitely be removing that part of the mussel now before feeding my typhoons. I will stick to vitalis pellets and prawns. I don't know if you have ever heard this but I read that feeding too many prawns can have an effect on growth due to some chemical they contain, I would need to try and find the video again but it was from a fairly reliable source. Any ideas about that? I've had some typhoons for the last 5 years or so and have had fairly slow growth but I believe that's normal for this type of plec.

Hi Mark. I feed King Tiger prawn as I find the smaller pink prawn goes in the Weir too fast or gets stuck on the intakes of the externals I get a good feeding response from all the plecs on the larger King Tiger prawn. I scissor it up for the smaller ones. I've always assumed that the slow growth rate is related to a long life span.

A question for everyone. I have 2 cactus 🌵 Plecos an L24 and a Polka Dot who is 7 inches. If feeding normal prawns cooked or raw? Does it matter, Thanks

@MicksFishUk Год назад

Hey mate awesome fish. I use raw peeled prawns mate fish go crazy for them 👍🏻👍🏻

Do you know where to find those huge clay tunnels? I’ve been inspired

@lda1054 11 месяцев назад

Hi Vinny I order them from a builders merchants in 4 or 6 inch diameter. You will need an angle grinder with a stone cutting disk to cut them in to sections. Thanks
