TODAY IN THE FISH ROOM #1 

There will be more. . . Soon. 👍🏻

@@TheDave333 Hoo-hoooo...!!!😍

Planaria are very sensuous. . . A treat for both the mind and the eyes. . .

You're very welcome. 🐟🐟🐟

Thank you once again my long lost Canadian friend. 🐟🐟🐟

Yes, I will continue with this series. Happy to inspire . . . 🐟🐟🐟

Thanks for always watching my videos. I appreciate the love. 👍

Thanks for watching the video. I have a lot of tanks, and a lot of projects that I'm working on. I'll put out another video like this one soon.

Thank you

Thank you so much! I love making them as much as you enjoy watching them. So, I won't be stopping anytime soon.

Thanks the planaria did most of the work. 😃

@@TheDave333 wow, that's surprising to know!

Thank you 😁

You're very welcome. :-)

I love planaria and plan to make a whole video about them. They're fascinating creatures that rarely get any love! 🐟

I'm curious too.

I call this tank the graveyard. Anything that dies gets placed in the tank. It's my way of recycling! This graveyard tank gets fed like other tanks, and I'm growing hydra in there as well, which I feed with baby brine shrimp and microworms. Long story short, I find all life to be incredibly fascinating, even things like planaria that everyone hates. They're actually incredible animals and I plant to make a whole video all about them.

@@TheDave333 I agree. Planaria are underrated.

Thanks

The aquatic animals never ceases to amaze me! Thanks for watching.

Thank you 😃

He is a real beauty. 😊

Thanks !

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

I use sponge filters, and I give the outside of the sponge a quick cleaning with the siphon hose when I do water changes. And every month of so, depending on how dirty the filter looks, I take the whole thing out and give it a few squeeze's in the used tank water that I took out when doing a water change. In some tanks, I go months without cleaning the filter. It really depends on how heavily stocked the tank is. You don't want it to be too clean. 😁

Thanks for noticing Chi.

Thank you. I will. !

I have a great idea , shoot I forgot it already Something that might help you out is it should have # 2 since you just made this #1 !!! 🥨🐸🌼

@stoneysscapes7544 #2 is in progress. . .

I like the way you exaggerate. . .

Planaria are fascinating. Working on a video devoted just to them. And yes, it is possible to be creepy and cool at the same time. 😊

Interesting. . . Not the most colorful saltwater angel, but still a cool fish.

Chocolate gouramis are very interesting, but difficult to maintain and breed. Maybe someday I'll give it a shot. Believe it or not, I'm working on leech video!

I hear what you're saying. . . Planaria are awesome, and I love to see them dance. . .

@@TheDave333 They did seem to be thankful for the music. Even plaeria deserve to be happy and dance.

We all should be dancing like it's our last day on the planet.

I use sponge filters for everything.

There are lots off different aquatic worms. How they move is usually a good way to tell them apart. Planaria don't swim, but glide gracefully over objects. The key to recognizing a planaria is the triangular-shaped head. Leeches can swim, and use an awkward and slow reach and pull method of moving. There are also horsehair worms, detritus worms, rhabdocoelas, etc. . . It's a jungle out there! Be very careful adding wild creatures to a fish tank. There are all sorts of potentially harmful animals in local lakes and ponds. . .

@@TheDave333 yeah, I'm not going to do that. Thanks 👍.

I keep them in pairs, because I breed them. I keep a pair in a 20 Gallon long tank, but for a small group of adults I'd use a 40 breeder. I've bred them in a 10 gallon, but for long term maintenance you need at least a 20G. Epic Pear Gourami video coming soon!

I love the Pea Puffers as well, but I also like the great variety of colors seen in the bettas. Still, the pea puffers are much more entertaining to watch.

I keep them because I have a genuine love of the natural world, and I'm curious about all creatures great and small. I think planaria are fascinating little animals. There will be a video devoted to this tank in the near future.

I grow planaria, hydra, detritus worms, seed shrimp all in the same tank. And when a fish dies, this is where it goes. I love planaria! I don't feed them to anything, I film them and learn about them.

I'm from manipur

@@Native_ichthyology hello, I am from Tamil Nadu

@@Native_ichthyology i love manipur cyclist

You're the best. . . Great word !

Awesome best of luck with the guppy family!

@@TheDave333we got so many

We got 14 now

I’m pretty sad bc only a 5 gallon tank so we have to give some away

They're beautiful fish, thankfully no Ich! I haven't seen that in my fish room in many years. Fingers crossed.

It depends on the species and the water temp. Usually 2-3 days ?

Me too, he's one of my favorites.

Yes planaria is bad for your shrimp. Why on earth would you want a planaria tank??

Planaria can crawl beneath a female shrimp's tail and go after her eggs. Other than that, they're fairly harmless. There's a chemical treatment called " No Planaria" that will kill them. It supposed to be shrimp and snail safe.

@@TheDave333 yes,I heard about it ,there are also dewormers for pets but I am always afraid to use chemicals …. 😒 thank you for your reply

@@Zwarf1979 but I didn’t want a planaria tank 😏🤣

I avoid chemicals as well. FYI - killing a large population of worms can cause your water quality to decline rapidly, so if you do decide to treat the tank, be sure to keep an eye on your water parameters.

Yes. . . Lots of betta videos will be coming soon.

nothing I'm afraid they could harm shrimplets , fortunately fishes eat them most of the time

They help get rid of dead bodies. . .

@@TheDave333 Oh I didn't know they do that ,I taught they were feeding on live preys like leeches

They'll go after shrimp eggs, but other than that, they tend to be scavengers rather than predators.

Thanks for watching the video. Your "black moss" is probably black beard algae or staghorn algae. I would begin by manually removing all of the algae that you can see. You can also use 3% hydrogen peroxide to spot treat areas where it's growing. As long as the air is humid, Anubias can survive out of water for a very long time. However, the algae will have trouble surviving outside of the water. So, you can also keep the plant(s) out of the water in a sealed plastic back for a while and this will hurt the algae, but not hurt the anubias. Once the anubias are put in their new home, frequent large water changes can also help keep the algae from spreading. Best of luck.

@@TheDave333 tnx dave i was thinking of 3% hidrogen peroxide i try and see what happens

best of luck my friend 🐟🐟🐟

Get 4assasin snails will kick there butts in a week nothing will left from them

@@danieldzolevski Thanks so much... I will do that... because they are just out of control.... thank you Daniel... thank you so much!!

@@wendysheets1916 you are welcome wendy i had problems with snails so assassin snails save my tank

@wendysheets1916 Snails reproduce in proportion to their food supply and the water temperature. So, the first step is to slow down or even stop feeding for a while. (Your fish can go without food for several days.) Rather than breaking down the tank, try a multi-pronged approach to reducing their numbers. First, stop feeding for 3 days, then cook a spinach leaf until it's nice and soft, and then put the spinach in the tank. When the hungry snails all head over to the food remove the spinach along with the attached snails. Do this every chance you get. A very small siphon hose ( airline tubing) can also be used to suck them and their eggs out of the tank whenever you see them. You are now the snail predator. . . Rather than using bleach, you can just remove items such as decorations, driftwood etc. and let them sit to dry. This will kill the eggs / no need for bleach. The eggs dry up and die outside of the water. This will not work for a sponge filter because that needs to remain submerged in the water. Its best not to mess with the filtration. Assassin snails might work, but they sometimes pass over really small snails like bladder snails. So, it really depends on the tank environment and what other food sources are available for the assassin snails to eat. If they have lots of flake food to eat, the assassins won't even bother with the little snails. Pea puffers work really well for killing snails, but these little puffer fish can be very aggressive. However, if I had to pick one animal to take care of a snail infestation it would be pea puffers / dwarf puffers. But like I said they can be nippy. So, this solution really depends on what else is in the tank and how it's set up. Another possible solution is a small gold fish. Goldfish will eat all of the small snails that they can find. However, they prefer cooler water than most tropical fish, but it should be okay for a while. You could put it in for a while like a hired assassin to eat the snails and then return it to the store when the job is done. (some gold fish are very inexpensive) Keep in mind that it is very difficult to get rid of snails entirely, so to keep their numbers manageable, keep the food supply to a minimum. Most people are very heavy handed with the food and this is why they have trouble with snails. So, once the infestation is under control continue removing them manually every time you spot one. I make a game out of it, like hide and seek. #1 - reduce feeding #2- manually remove as many as you can ( siphon hose + baiting with food ) #3- remove decorations and let them dry to kill eggs (no bleach) #3- introduce a snail predator A combination of all of these approaches will give you the best results. Best of luck, and thank you for putting your trust in me. 🐟🐟🐟

I have 2 assassin snails (+a baby), they do nothing useful in this matter (probably not enough of them) If you choose to trap the bladders, don't forget that tortoise keepers are happy to accept them :)

Thanks for watching the video and subscribing. Both the adults and the babies get their air from the surface, there is a small sponge filter running to help process fish waste, but with all of the plants in the tank it's probably not needed. 🐟🐟🐟

@@TheDave333 but is there a reason they need the bubble nest? I speculate it's cuz they so tiny and need air which they get from air bubbles.... But I don't know

The males make the bubbles, because that's where they will put the eggs when they mate with the female. They don't get oxygen from the bubbles. They make a bubble nest, and they spawn with the female underneath the nest. The bubbles keep the eggs safe and up near the top of the water where there is more oxygen. The bubbles may provide some oxygen to the eggs as they develop. I am working on a video all about keeping and breeding bettas. If you have any questions about keeping them please don't be afraid to ask. They're wonderful fish!

Sure bring it on. . .

@@TheDave333 Which group of baleen whales is the Omura's whale part of? A. Rorquals or B. Right whales

I pick A (no help from Google) just a guess.

@@TheDave333 Yes, yes, yes! The Omura's whale is a rorqual baleen whale. Just like the blue, humpback, fin, Bryde's, minke, and sei whales.

Yay! What do I win?😁

Maybe it was bitten by another fish, or it got cut on a plant, driftwood, or a decoration.

The only thing that matters is what happens if it does, which I think is a great indicator for the quality of the water that all of our fish is living in. I am sure that the cut , tear or anything else you can expect to have the regeneration to be really quick and opaque big but if you are seeing the area become infected then you should have a few emergency action starting early in your water changes and testing above all you have to be careful with your fish feeding and the best weapon is the know where to get the rest of the story , good day.

Wow, that was fast! 🐟

You were and you are, but, it could've been ME! If I were fast, like you, I would've been first! I'm gonna practice, for a loooong time, and when I'm real fast ... YOU'LL be last!

@@nicksweeney5176 I don't mind being last, because there's room to improve, but when you're first, you lose your thirst, and then, there's only one way to go.

@@TheDave333 Yours are sound, reliable words of much wisdom, Mr. TheDave; but I wanna win, I wanna be Firrrrst...!!! I wanna chugga-guzzle-gulp a gallon of Glistening Iced Victory, thenafter shall I settle down and try to pace myself along your narrow, illuminated Path of Wisdom. 👍🏻👍🏻
