Aim is to provide information for the beginner to the hobby especially for the Australian fish keeper.

Just subscribed. Great episode. As you said on this video, “some of you may be on your way to having many tanks”. That’s me! In just a month I’m up to 9 tanks. Granted I used to breed angelfish a while back so I have all the equipment. I pulled it out of storage and now I have several tanks going with fancy guppies breeding and a mutt tank as well. Thank you for your channel. 👌🏼
@@naturenel no problem at all glad you enjoyed it
This is beautiful and very interesting
@@maryglover8283 thank you
Looks fantastic!! And thank you for all the great information and inspiration
@@iamdustinbelt you’re more than welcome
needs a black background
Really nicely done, that little blue thrown stone in the front really pops.
@@arlekeno_ thank you
Oi mate are you japanese? That's some crazy music. Love your video.
@@deneng0259 Chinese background the instrument is called a Guzheng 古箏
Looks great well done. Those pots are really unique love them
@@BlakesAquatics thank you so much glad you enjoyed it
Nicely done. That looks great!
@@xR0ME0x thank you
cheers from my fish room channel in Chicago, where I am in awe of your effort on behalf of your fish club. they're lucky to have you :)
@@LushSaltyAquariums thank you hopefully we can get the auction into a much bigger event
Congratulations on a successful venture, Matt. It would be great to have a resource like those auctions around these parts. Thanks for a great share. Cheers! ~Ron
@@garageaquatics2023 thank you, next time I’ll be more prepared and film better I may need to conscript one of my mates to help me. If you have a Facebook group of local fish keepers that’s a great platform to organise your own events
Great video, Matt❗️~Ron
@@garageaquatics2023 thank you trying to make so easy to follow videos
@@duthieaquatics that’s always a great idea. I love the David Attenborough voice over😁❗️🇺🇸
Easier to breed, than guppies ???
Yes because you can separate the fry way easier. If you can raise guppy fry you can definitely do rice fish
@@duthieaquatics Well. Rice fish îs preety hard to get in here. Not known species yet.
I enjoyed your videos until you endorsed Bettas in bowls. Big difference between 1-2 litres of water for 12-24 hours, under 10 litres for their whole life and plenty of room. Bettas are very explorative and personable. Enjoy having space just like humans do..
I know it controversial for the fish community. But I won’t chastise anyone who has their betta in a bowl especially if they are taking care of it well. A small bowl if fine for a betta for 6 months, the ranges they have in the wild are tiny and during the dry season will drastically reduce in size where the myth that they live in the puddles made by water buffalo comes from. But if you do have betta in a small bowl there are many things that you can do similar to enrichment programs that zoo’s conduct feed live food and rescaping there bowl when doing a water change and have the bowl in a place that it will have regular interactions with you or other members of the household are all good way for a betta to be happy.
You must surprise a few people with the Chinese
A few but if they are an old auntie nothing surprises them they’ve seen it all and heard it all before 🤣
Should i keep a single paradise fish in a 7 gallon tank?
Yes that is fine for one
Yay. I have it in all my tanks. Great water cleaner. I use a fine tooth comb to scoop it out when it gets to saturated. Nitrates are always very low under 20ppm with 30% wc’s every 5 weeks or so to freshen up the column
That’s great you’re definitely using it right and I might need to steal the comb idea off you haha
That's a nice lot of fish, Matt! $20 USD is pretty much typical retail here for Bettas. I hope you'll record some of the upcoming fish auction. That'll be fun to see. Cheers, Mate! ~Ron
Thanks Ron I definitely will
@@duthieaquatics Lookin' forward!
Is bare tank better to grow rice fish?
Not unless you’re frequently changing water
Whar are those little star-shaped plants in with your 24 karat gold guppies at about 4:30? They are spectacular! Fun tour, Thanks and best of luck with the insurance. It's criminal how they can get away with dragging on like that. Cheers! ~Ron

Welcome back where are you located, I’m at the northern end of the Gold Coast

my swordtails are sort of translucent with a slight bit of color and their sword is on their anal fin instead of their tail, do you know what kind of swordtail that is? I’ve looked it up I can’t find anything.
Not without see a photo of them you can send a pic through IG message and I can have a look
@@duthieaquatics ok. I don’t have IG😊I don’t even know what it is😄I am old I guess😊
I REALLY appreciate u answering though❤️
@@tiffanyclark-grove1989 you can send it through the live chat on my website as well but without an image I don’t think I can identify it sorry
@@duthieaquaticsI sent u an email😊I couldn’t find live chat🤪 they are awful pretty whatever they are
Literally got mine installed a month ago, didn't realise how much money i was spending on bottled water, best investment i've ever made
This system is amazing. I have had it for one week. I have more energy and feel much better. Thanks water analytics for a great product.
Great video..the best water filter in Australia its apple clean 🧽
How would you recommend removing pond snails that got in rice fish ponds? I am trying to breed them and didn't learn of this issue until I already had a lot of snails in the ponds. I normally do nothing to remove them.
If they are in tubes drain and clean the tub if they are ponds there’s not a lot you can do unfortunately
@@duthieaquatics Thanks for the help seriously. idk why it never really crossed my mind to just dump it and restart lol. I've also taken to separating eggs by hand from the mops to help prevent possible getting into the egg containers. I forgot to reply before but now over 2 weeks later I have lots of fry from all my ricefish!
@@someguy3167 haha that’s completely fine I keep forgetting to edit my videos and upload constantly. Glad I could help
How.long.does.it.to.grow.full.size
Depends on the temperature mine probably a year to get about 5-6 inches in a pond out side without heated water
What ph do you keep yr tanks at?
Just how it comes out of the tap which is between 6.5 and 7.5ph (luckily the rage most fish want) if you’re water is too soft crushed coral is an easy fix
I have 5 strains, Orange, Red, Black, Pearl Galaxy, and Ouka.
I’d love to get some proper red ones would instantly be my favourite
Tossed some live daphnia from a refridgerator into a tub with old dechlorinated aquarium water. PH 6.3 after a week, i'm afraid nearly all are dead xD fed them with a pinch of rice+pea+algae powder. the baby shrimp and bladder snails in there seem to be fine *shrugs* soooo... you recommend hard tap water then?
Don’t use dechlorinator it kills daphnia
This is so informative! Great job, fantastic reporting!🌻🌼🐝 Keep it up 🙌
Thank you
That was very helpful, Could you do a lotus video thanks
I definitely can just need time at the moment I am trying to sort out some stuff to fix a heap of storm damage we got
I have Aussie birds drinking and washing in my containers . You know how a bird takes a bath? In my opinion that moves eggs in my garden.
Yeah it could be the bloody miner birds
Do you need to cycle the bucket, or are fish put straight in ?
Not with spawning mop going straight in it acts like bio media
@@duthieaquatics so I can just throw a tub outside with water and put some rice fish in and they'll be fine ?
@@Triall00 as long as you’re monitoring them and don’t over stock the tub yes
@@Triall00 I would cycle it for 2 days and let the chlorine evaporate out. adding some plant material from another tank would be a plus. They can sustain cold temps but dont do it, they will not grow much in the cold.
Any issues with the black plastic increasing the water temps out of range? Edit: I breed Bosemani Rainbows. No problem getting them to get it on, just takes forever for the fry to get a decent size abs color up. Even with a good diet they're slow growers.
No but I always have plants that partially cover the surface of the water so temperature swings are at a minimum
Most rice fish are, the only ones I breed are Dwarf Neon Praecox.
nay
Hey there, great video. Btw, what plants are those at 5:45❓ Thanks
Blue Stricta
You added crush what at the bottom? I wasn't sure the word you used?
Coral, but a little bit of potting mix will help too but only a small hand full
How long have your tanks gone without water changes ? How often do you clean your sponge filters ?
At the moment only like 4-5 tanks have sponge filters most of the tanks have no filters. I think now going on 4 years no water charges (since last having to my my tanks around) but I regularly top water that evaporated. I will change water if I medicate a tank but that only happens if my quarantine tanks are occupied.
Hi friend, do you know if there is any variety of Pseudomugil that can live outside in pond at winter?
It depends on your location and how cold are your winters are?
I hate the feeling of sand too! I enjoy the relaxing background music. As a Canadian, I also appreciate the variety of units of measurements... foot, mm, and finger knuckles 😆 🤣 ❤️
Haha a person of good taste, that background music is actually me playing a Chinese instrument called a guzheng 古箏
This is a great idea! Do you have a link to which black contact paper you used? I've used one that claims its matte but when applied, it has a weird sheen. Thanks mate!
It was from spotlight I got it in store, it had that Sam sheen too but once water was added and you look at it straight on you can’t see it
@@duthieaquaticsThanks! I'll check it out :)
What size tank are you using?
60L I get the exact measurements tonight for you
60cm (2ft) long 36cm tall (1.2ft) and 40cm (1.3ft) deep
I love your yard and all the beautiful plants!
Thank you
Thank you for this- super helpful! 🐡
You’re more than welcome feel free to ask questions if anything is unclear
would have loved for this to be cut down to about 4 minutes. thanks
Sorry can’t make everyone happy
I bought 5 hope I got some females. Can you do a vid on growing lotus?
Yes I can
I have comet golds in a large planted tank and would love to see a beautiful scape like this as inspiration 🥹
No problem I’ll add it to my list 😊
id like to see a low tech "beginner" plant set up. especially for a community freshwater set up. love your channel. subscribed and hit the bell 🐠🐠🐠
Thank you
thanks for sharing this. i want to try something similar.
It’s so easy and worth while doing
I really enjoyed this. I like your relaxed style and I learned quite a bit too! Can't wait to see an update on this!
Also, just to let you know, the thumbnail says "dirtied pots" instead of "dirted". :)
@@tropicaltanktv haha thank you I was very tired and terrible at spelling in general. If you have any questions please feel free to ask
