Your #NATURALAQUARIUM cannot #cycle until fish are in it. Put a few small fish in your tank as soon as it is set up. BUT only feed the fish with VERY tiny amounts. #FATHERFISH explains how to #cycle your tank right away.
Our #FFRESEARCHTEAM is hard at work studying the science of the #FATHERFISH method. You may participate in this great endeavor to free the hobbyist from slavery to equipment, supplies, medications, and other expensive paraphernalia.

I totally agree. I've returned to the hobby after a thirty year absence. Some of the advice of some of the channels, is ridiculous! 'Don't do this, don't do that.' Trying to suggest items to buy for your aquarium that you don't actually need etc,etc.

Hello,I don’t have a fish store no where near me and I have to travel to get fish,I do have 3 black moors that I want to put them in a 55 gallon tank from their 20 gallon tank.How can I cycle my tank without using fish to do it?I don’t want to use my fish because I would worry something may happen and I have had these fish for a long time lol.I heard I can squeeze sponge filters in the new tank to put the BB in the new tank but I would love to hear from you on what you recommend

@haroldgreen1425 6 месяцев назад

I have nearly 70 years of fish keeping. Entire rooms filled with fish to breed and sell. Over all those years I have never intentionally cycled any freshwater tank. The main issue with fish is ph. As long as it's in the proper range for the variety and you have good filtration on the tank the fish should be fine. If there appears to be an ammonia issue a good partial water change will often take care of it. If you have other tanks or a friend does and you want to make it easy then put a new sponge filter in the old tank and run it for a week or so and then transfer it to the new tank. Even some gravel from an old tank is enough to seed the new tank. That said most fish if properly cared for will cycle a new tank without issues or work on your part.

I made the mistake bought a tank got everything he needs conditioner, food , water changer pump I set up his tank with gravel . It’s been 2 months and he’s been fine . Now that I have done my research.. I realized I never cycled my tank !!!! But my lil guy is thriving .. is he doomed ? What can I do please help?

@eliasmontoya7515 2 месяца назад

@@titogee36 If you've had this fish for two months and he seems to be fine, then your tank may have actually cycled itself without your knowing. I would definitely get live plants, planting substrate, and an aquarium light for your plants. Plants will take up the brunt of aquarium impurities, and use them to grow! Do yourself a favor, and just do bi-weekly water changes if your tank is smaller than 5 gallons. If it's 5 gallons or more, then one water change a week will most likely be okay. Don't change out all of the water, do maybe 30%. Betta fish need a minimum of 5 gallons, but if you don't have the means to get one, then just work with what you have. One last thing, get an aquarium heater. Betta fish are tropical creatures and need warmer water. If you live in a hot region, and your AC is set to 68 or 70, you are going to cause significant stress to your betta.

I have been keeping aquariums since I was seven or eight years old, which was about sixty years ago. I was made aware of how we should cycle our tanks, and measure ammonia, nitrate, and nitrate. I must agree with what you are saying about adding fish, and slowly increasing the bioload. I'm sure there are people who take bits and pieces of information that you give, but have not had a concept of the big picture. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

@davidlawlor4317 Год назад

a few months ago i experimented with bottled ammonia and the tank got "cycled" in 7 days. I was really happy with the test readings and the ammonia was processed really quick and the water looked great. I put in some guppies. 4 out of 5 died within a week with no ammonia spikes. I am happy i tried it and it gave me a great insight into what is going on with ammonia, bio load but from now on I'm going back to the natural way: dirt, sand, dead leaves plants plants plants and fish from the get go. There is no other way.

@patricksebikejourney3896 Год назад

I’ve always said that fish are predatory creatures. In nature they hunt their food. So I don’t feed my fish everyday. I might feed them 1 time every couple of days. Most of the time I mix up the amount of times I feed them over a weeks time. Like Father Fish said they are then more likely to search the tank for food. I learned this from a more experienced fish keeper when I began the hobby.

Hi Father Fish, Lovely to see the new style videos. Always nice to hear your wisdom and tank approach❤ Would love to transfer my small tank one day over to a true food web style tank. Without filter etc, just to see what happens. For now the tank is over a month old with a new, fresh soil layer and only last week I did my first water change😮 The trumpet snails from the existing sand were handling the bioload for me. I put in a tiny amount of food in about twice or so. I hope the tank is now ready for my shrimp to reintroduce. A few weeks after that I will look into small nano fish, since I wanted to look at something else then guppies for over a year straight🤫

I really enjoyed today's sermon, Father Fish. Preach it brotha!!! I read "A Fish Out of Water" as a kid, where the fish doctor said to only feed 'just a spot', and when the kid overfed his fish it grew to monstrous proportions, and the problem got way out of hand, and I am afraid our protagonist was in quite over his head, before he learned not to overfeed his pet fish. It is actually very challenging not to overfeed. I like to look at the food floating at the surface from below to give me an idea of how much I put in there, but even still it is hard not to overfeed.

I been told to put food inthe tank for a month, then test if every parameter are good. If they are, add fish. If they are not, keep adding food. This make a very boring tank for quite a long time. I just bought a 55 gallon to replace my very old 20 gallons and I have like may be 15 to 20 platies. Since I have so few of them, I may start to move them. Would be more fun to watch with very little fish then none at all. Anyway, it's will be there new tank, later I want to add angelfishs and plecos that stay under 5" (clown pleco, they are so great!).

Thanks for sharing this information. We recently went to a pet shop "just to look around". After seeing the conditions of some of the fish I agreed with my son to "save just one". we got our tank, followed your setup advice and put him in right away. I understand its risky but the outcome for him at the store would have been much worse. Day 5 and so far so good.
