My Fish Room Tour 2024!! 

omg it’s hard for me to type while walking! but as a fellow azn hobbyist here, I had to comment, I’m so encouraged by your journey and passion for your fish and plants, they look so vibrant and well cared for! aspirations!

I currently keep a common musk turtle (stinkpot) in an aquarium in my house. They are easy to care for. Just keep your water clean and you should be good. If outside the sun will be all they need for their vitamins. If inside you def. need a basking light like you have but also a UVB light. These turtles will bask so great you have a basking platform for them. I would keep them outside and the maintenance will probably be easy for you. If I remember right, don’t quote me on this, but I think they will do well in the cold too. So you can probably keep them outside almost all year long. Do some research on them to see though. Ryo, also feed your turtles a varied diet. Turtle pellets are fine but add like cut shrimp or they have some food mixes that are meal worms, shrimp, and crickets that is good to feed them. Some turtles love a little vegetables as well so maybe some lettuce, not iceberg, and also small pieces of fish. They may also like snails or worms too like earthworms. Also, when you feed don’t feed them everyday. In the wild they may not get a meal on certain days because they could not catch anything. So you can feed them every other day. In feeding days I do one day turtle pellets, skip a day, then do shrimp, fish, mealworms, crickets, etc., then I skip a day and then go back to turtle pellets and switch it up like that. I have been told by turtle experts that is a good way to feed them. You may also want to put some live fish in with them and allow them to catch their food sometimes if they are fast enough. If not, the fish will stay alive in their enclosure and become some good looking tank or pond mates. For turtle pellets most zoos in USA and I use Mazuri aquatic turtle pellets. ZooMed is good as well and also Hikari Turtle sticks. You can also vary their turtle sticks so get more than one brand and mix them together if you want or on a pellet day feed one type of pellet and then on the next pellet feeding day give them a different brand of pellet. Each brand makes their pellets with different things in them so the formulas vary. Also if you want to follow some turtle guys who know more than me check out Garden State Tortoise, Greg’s Turtle Haven, The Turtle Room, and Kamp Kenan. Also follow Jordan Gray, I think his Instagram is @jordanturtleman. He is a turtle biologists or herpetologist who can tell you almost anything you may want to know about turtles and tortoises. Between these guys they should be able to answer any of your turtle questions. They are all turtle and tortoise lovers. 👍🏼🐢

Turtles would enjoy outside landscapes if you have the space available

Awesome to see Ryo. So nice to see your fish room. Excited to see what you get up to. Please give us more regular updates

Alright! We finally have a fishroom tour. I was eagerly awaiting this. Glad to see you got yourself the Painted turtles. 🐢 Thanks for gracing us with another video Ryo. Stay awesome! 😁

Ryo, water your cactus only once a month. Most people tend to over water them and that will lead to root rot and they will die. Remember, they are desert plants so they know how to make the little water you give them go a long way. I water mine once a month and have no problem with them. Keep them in a lot of sunlight. Not sure how they may do in winter. I have seen them freeze and then wilt and die. I think that was in near freezing temps though. I would just keep them inside during the winter but plenty of sunlight. 👍🏼🌵

SWEET! I love that you have turtles now. Good choice with painted turtle as well. The western ones are the most colorful ones I think. I like the southern painted too which has a single orange stripe going down the center of its shell. Looks like a racing stripe. The fish room is looking great as well Ryo! 👍🏼

A good basin and washing point is the quintessential for a hardcore hobbyist. I like your lab.

I’m just getting into aquatics but I know quite a lot about cacti! Not totally sure what the current care is but they love lots of sun, although if they’re in low light now they’ll need to be acclimated to high light. I water them whenever they get soft. If they’re well watered they’re nice and hard, and when they could use water they’ll have some give to em. You can use a light hand with regular plant fertilizer or you can use a cacti/succulent fertilizer as directed 😊

Excited to watch the turtles grow! They look so cute!

this is my much-awaited video of yours. It's cool to see that bit by bit it is coming together and there are new additions to the fish room. I'm so jealous of your new stands I wish I could make a stand like that in my place. Thank you for the great video such an inspiration.

I like your fish room 🐢

Love your channel and your content. Thank you for sharing!

The Rummynose Rasboras are stunning! Your fish room has come a long way! I've been on your journey since you started ~ back when you had to share the space with your Uncle's Volkswagen parts! Looking forward to seeing this year's aquarium for the competition ❤️ Best of luck!

I water my cactus every 3-4 weeks and keep it in direct sunlight. 🌵

I love the lace plant! Growing so well 🥳💪

Love how your fish room is progressing.

Very nice! We have Western Painted Turtles in our rivers, lakes and creeks in southern Oregon, USA. They are so cute and fast! As a kid I always tried to catch them and they are way faster than a human child...lol. When we have boat races on the Rogue River they get scared and run from the bank to the roads and many of us spend the boat races saving the turtles from cars. Finally I get to get my hands on them, but they are even fast on land.

Its been long time since the last fish room update. I enjoyed this one. Cheers Ryo

Thanks for the tour. Tanks looking really proper. Keep up the good work. CORY GANG GANG‼️‼️‼️‼️

Wow everything looks great! ❤

5:23 ...and over here we have my Air Dragon. 🦎

Hi ryo I'm from India I love your videos so much

Hi Ryosenpai, been a long time follower and a big fan from Mexico :) I'm not very good with cactus indoors, from my experience, when they tend to over-develop the tips of the main body, it's usually due to a lack of natural sunlight. I've never tried with growing lights, but once outside my cactus seem to develop better (mainly due to central mexico semi-arid conditions) also in wnter very low watering and if below 0 temps, i bring them indoor for the night. Anyway, love the aesthetic of the studio, it's been coming along great throughout the years and excited to see the new turtles journey as well :)

Cactus need a good amount of light. Sunlight is best. Do not water often, the soil needs to have a lot of air in it, so let it get pretty dry between watering.

For Heterandria Formosa, I had more success raising them in outside tubs. One of my favorite fish which I collected myself in Florida. For some reason, inside they really tend to slow down. I used a 25 gallon black tube outside in the shade with guppy grass and they produced so many I was having trouble giving them away!

Good to see you back!

Whoa! The fish room is looking fantastic, Ryo. I love the curtains, and those new wood stands/cabinets. Love them. You've got me wanting a cichlid tank like yours now. lol. I was actually considering getting a turtle for myself, but decided it is too late in my life - they live so long. But very well done! and wonderful to see you!👏🥰

Thank you for sharing your fish room update. You inspired me to have a planted tank and started to put cryptocoryne in my aquarium.

Thanks for the tour bro...

Great progress. Keep it up. Thank you for the update.

Looking good.. Thank you for the inspiration..

Nice aquarium cabinets!

Beautyfull ,cacti need sun and dry between watererings.😊

Happy to see you got into keeping turtles, I have 2 red earred sliders and 1 painted turtle who've I've rehomed from people who couldn't either take care of them anymore or couldn't keep them due to moving.

Finally!!!! was eagerly waiting for this video ❤

Bravo from Romania Dracula land ❤🎉

So great fishroom ❤

regarding your cabinet stand, try to find a MAT finishing which looks the most natural and close to the original looks of the wood and also upgrade your inches as they are the absolute most basics and are not reflecting the quality of the wood job been done ;) look in kitchen maker or even Ikea now have Jerry decent one for at a cheap cost, kind of soft close ones or at least smoother than the basics one. Then your product will looks good

great tour, thanks 😍🥰

I would like to get both of those nano rainbow fish!

Man these turtles are banned in Italy too, they are invasive, my favourite tank is for sure the African Cichlids one

Great quality luminatus!

Greetings from the Netherlands 🎉

Awesome fish room, nice fishes and plants. I do love the oak tank cabinets its dope!

please give an update on your rice fish.

Sawbwa resplendens (Rummynose Rasboras) are becoming more popular in the hobby. Unfortunately, you only seem to have males. The females look completely different. They have the same shape, but are light beige in colour. You can breed them relatively easily in a so-called 'wedge tank' if you place a plant such as Hydrocotyle leucocephala in front of the slit. The fish spawn in my tank frequently after a water change with cooler water. Rearing the babies is somewhat complicated as the larvae have very small mouths and can only eat artemia nauplii after a few weeks. Greetings form Germany!

Love your channel Keep it up!

Painted turtles are native to my area. They hibernate during the winter and are extremely hardy. I bet that they could be invasive in Japan if they were released into the wild.

TURTLE POWA‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Thanks for the update, the Rainbow fishes look amazing! Are you going to be home for awhile now?

Hello from US fish friend 👋 What a wonderful fish room you accomplished! I enjoy having a look at it 💦 Your English is very good. I am also learning how to grow aquatic plants and kild many, but dont give up 😂

Love that orchid setup, where did you get that box and light setup?

Ryo, I love your wooden stand. I know you said you will probably not ship overseas but if we pay you can you make the plans available for sale so we can follow them and make one of these stands ourselves at home if we are overseas?

Hate to be bearer of bad news but that’s not a western painted turtle. It could be another type of painted turtle but most of the have orange on the bottom. They look like some type of cooter turtle which get similar size to red ear sliders. You should message garden state tortoise/turtle if you want a definitive ID on what type of turtle you have

Hi Ryo, you remind me of Detective Conan, You are so cute and handsome.

Lovely tour but I’m not sure why you would do a tour with the lights off on 90% of your tanks even if you have a schedule. Just turn them on for an hour max while you film?

What substrate are you using? That dark gravel looks great! I aspire to have a fish room like yours one day.

Hi Ryo! How did you get your lace plant to grow without CO2?

can you show us emersed aquatic plants that you setup last year in containers

You need root tabs in your soil maybe??

about small sized turtles, maybe you can try stinkpot or razor back turtles

Suggest some plants for your terrapin turtles home such as water hyacinth.

7:07 the cactus on the right seems very odd lol

start your own aquarium shop!

why your cactus have a pair of balls?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍

The turtles are beautiful but sad they are illegal to keep where I'm at since they are protected species and need special permits to keep.

It seems to me that you are starting to move away from aquascaping, you want to do more long term aquariums or am I wrong.
