Its funny you say that. I often think that Humans are too vein to realize that our whole existence has been fabricated to serve the select few that rule in the same way these lobster do. And yet we in america still exclaim "we are free" and who knows. We could be used to fuel other economies we dont even know exist
dieselbiggins I wish there was a community of videos just for that kind of perspective. It's such a cool perspective. Those fish look like they've got an entire world in there.
I have no idea how good this setup is but wow ! It looks bloody gorgeous underwater. I wonder if the wee fish and the lobster(s) appreciate it. Nice work man keep it up.
I am using aquaponic method as close to the natural bio-filtration system.It is different than mechanical filtration system that regularly remove waste from the water supply to make the pond clean .This Bio-filtration systems will leave the waste in the water,but convert it to a less toxic nitrate that is safe for the lobsters.
Actually it is the beneficial bacteria that produce the nitrates. As the waste decomposes it produces ammonia, which a set of bacteria turns into nitrites, and another set turns into nitrates. However nitrates are still harmful in large quantities, the reason why yours works is all those plants and the algae on the sides use the nitrates as a fertilizer. So you keep putting in food they will keep thriving.
(they appear to be "Crayfish" as I've known them... Are the "Freshwater Lobsters" different from what I see in streams and creeks, called Crayfish/Crawfish?) I often considered using them [or _now_ after the video, I'm leaning towards freshwater lobsters] in a sump tank below an aquarium, so they don't eat off my fish.
It's just been running for a while. I released our last Yabby into the wild today. You can see it right at the end of the last video about collecting seed from the container lettuce garden,,,may interest you to see it be set free. Cheers Marty Ware
just a tip. Be sure to monitor the acidity in your water. Those cinder blocks contain alkaline that overtime will leach into your water. When the alkaline builds up enough it will kill everything in your pond. I learned that the hard way. It would be better to use something other than concrete or cinder blocks. Natural rocks work great.
mini hell this thing looks huge wow what a tour and your lobsters look lovely. I can't help but be envious of your results man. Looks good! I agree a light with the camera would make it easier to see those lobsters running backwards. I really enjoyed the other world once the camera entered the water. Amazing I want to start up some aquaponics in my greenhouse also, and the thought of raising some LOBSTER is off the chain kewl! thnx for sharing.
Beautiful underwater video. If you only had a light on the camera for shots with the lobsters retreating. The large amount of guppies at different sizes, the moss on the cinder blocks/lobster dens, gives it a oceanic vibe. Was that a Go Pro you used?
dkmorbid otaku no... breeding lobsters in captivity requires you to make the lobsters believe they have migrated ..sometimes thousands of miles... whoever figures this out will be quite literally a billionaire. ...
Beautiful shoot, beautiful setup, but was going a little to fast for my liking of course I wanted it to last much longer such an intriguing thing to watch. Hope you do more of these but next time please slow down, take your time. Thank you for posting and sharing and a job well done. Hope you shoot more and update us. Hugs from Texas ❤
nice set up. my uncles used to keep yabbies stacked in a fish tank in my grandparents backyard to keep them alive a little longer before eating. they were not happy about it. bogan life Maroubra. im glad your setup is so nice. enjoy the eating!
Did you buy all those guppies or do they naturally breed easily in this environment? It seems like a great place to breed with the low/no water flow and lots of structure; however, also the crawfish/lobsters that are going to eat them. Just curious, do you buy in bulk or do they keep breeding themselves?
It was a few years ago I put a few of crayfishs ,guppies and gambusia together and they breed quite well..The mixture of plants ,fish and crayfish just nice and makes water so clear biologically.This is an impromptu video i made just for fun ...but now im quite shock with the numbers of viewers .LOL
Great set up! Great use of the cinder blocks. Unfortunately, I have about this many in a 10 gallon tank and I found this looking for DIY crayfish hides but apparently no one is dumb enough to their blue lobsters get out of hand like I have. They got along insanely well for a few years [multiplying and multiplying] until the original queen died and I was stupid and stirred up the muck in the bottom for some forgotten reason and now just about every mid to adult sized lobster is maimed in one way or another. I haven't ever vacuumed because I don't know how to avoid killing the babies. Because of this I also don't do water changes which proves that these guys can live just about anywhere that isn't outright toxic. The water is finally under control and clear and now I am looking for hide ideas. I was balancing subway tiles on rocks to create levels but one collapse too many told me that the next could end in injury and to stop risking it. 10 gallon tank-20-30+ visible crayfish and countless fry (sea monkeys). Because they don't share space after a certain age I have a lot of wasted space using traditional aquarium fish hides and would like to start over. How can I avoid pouring babies into my plants when recycling the water? Any suggestions on how to house this many while utilizing the space individually? Now that many are injured [the fighting stopped long ago] I am going to have an even harder time trying to give these homes-and I never asked a fee but got no takers. Not even from fish stores. So until I can rehome them I need help keeping them safe.
That is a very cool setup i wish i could have something like this :) Are the lobster a special bread? I love the blue/green colors! Thanks you so much for sharing!!! New sub hopping to see an update soon :)
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gf4QaEY7KUg.html this setup was originally for my tilapia...after the first harvest i decide to grew lobsters as they have less problem compared to the tilapias
They can and they will, but I highly doubt it here. They have so much space and ✌🏾apartments ✌🏾 there probably aren't any problems outside the occasional male fighting for one particular female. This setup is as close to manmade perfection as I've ever seen as far as space/surface area/hideouts/food is concerned.......I'd bet they worry more about keeping the pH and temp right over them cannibalizing each other to oblivion 👌🏾
Hi i have some questions i been wanting to do this in my basement for some time just never had a good bit of knowledge of how to do so. I want to start a small setup with about 12 or maybe 18 lobster. what should the water temp be? How often do they breed? How do i ph my water? I heard not to use the fish stuff to ph the water cause it is chemicals and you dont wanna eat your harvest that was raised in chemical ph'd water. Also what do you feed your lobster? As for my setup i was thinking like 2 small kiddie pools splitting a pump and filter system. Mines is actually only farming not aquaponics i soil grow my veggies at the moment all in organic soil.
alientech The funny thing is i have a setup going now in my basement that has been running for about 5 months. Also just had some babies off of one of my females, its at least 200 babies. So give up now? I'll be posting a video soon as the babies get a decent size and will be SHARING info on farming them. Thanks
"hey ya'll want lobster?" "Sure let's go buy it. It will be expensive because there is alot of us.. " "nah just follow me" *_takes them to backyard_* " Choose one!"
i think in the description you mean to say "This is my backyard mini lobster farm..." The way it currently is makes it sound like your backyard is mini.
You see every one of them back up at the sight of the GoPro like "Noh. I've seen what happens when shit gets stuck in here. Uncle Lonny just disappeared 3 days ago when that shit came around." - I'd be way too inclined to convince my drunk friends to let the lobsters pinch them which I feel would disrupt their sanctity. As much as I like to see humans suffer - a Lobster farm may not be for me.
Everything in this pond is nice except all the bacteria and fish waste that's at the bottom of your pond you can see a great example of how bad it is if you go to 1:58 in the video
One of the more interesting videos Iv seen of the like. Worth taking a look at and I want to understand it more especially why the little fish are so abundant.
