I love the fact that you don't know exactly what's living in each of these tanks. It's like exploring in the wild. You never know what you'll find! Great stuff. 🎥
Absolutely love the video sir thank you for all the amazing stuff you put out. I've just started following your videos within the last year and I can tell you that you are an absolute gem to the community. Big big love from Minnesota💚 Keep up the great work and hope everyone is happy and healthy
A few months ago, my partner bought me a Brazilian penniwort sold as a houseplant. It hated its life in my dry apartment and I thought it was going to die. I had no idea what it was (I thought it was a Pilea peperomioides). By the time I figured it out, it was a tiny thing, almost dead, and I stuck it into my (very small) terrarium in a last-ditch effort to keep it alive. Ever since, it has been a battle of the wits between me and that plant. I want it confined to one small area of my terrarium, but it wants to take over completely. So every now and then I have to go do surgery to remove the latest offshoot, which often results in major disruption to my mosses. SIgh... So all the pieces I've cut off that plant have been living in a container of water, waiting for me to build a small container pond on my balcony, which will happen next weekend. I'm excited for it but I know it is also going to try and dominate that.
I just received 5 blue shrimp and 2 pennyworts from you. Very nice!, I have ordered from you 3 times in the last few weeks and everything is perfect. Thank you!
If you have ants, you might have aphids or scales. They protect, farm, and move pests around as well. Eliminating the ants really helps control the other pests.
Hey bro watch those ants they are crazy smart and actually farm aphids for a food supply the will bring aphids to your healthiest plants and farm thm for the food they produce
Awesome stuff Lucas! Frogs could be cool in that tank! Or maybe ask Hayley to score you some of the awesome semi-terrestrial crabs they sell at Aquatic Arts, I bet you could make a sweet display with those 😊
wish I had some celestial pearls hidden, would love to see the color on them being hidden under the mat, water quality is probably fantastic with the penny wort
Mine lurk in the back too much, if I didn't love them with the ohko and red plants I'd pull them to their own unheated (room temp) tank, but it is fun to put my glasses on and watch them spawn in the shadows.
@@Kocht86 I honestly have no idea, I treated mines pretty badly but as long as it got plenty of light it always came back stronger than before. One thing I recommend is regularly trimming and taking off dead or soon-to-be dead leaves. I’m convinced that it made my pennywort grow faster.
You know what would be a very nice video? You doing this cleaning. Just set up the camera where we can se what you're doing and then make edit it into a time lapse, showing some details here and there. I'm looking into those blue shrimp you have. Hopefully I can place an order this year still. I have to get ready.
6:35 I leave in Scotland UK and we have crazy soft water here (we need to remineralise for e.g. guppies) - I've heard that soft water causes more FEMALES to be born 🤷♀️
@@LRBaquatics Awesome thank you! It’s definitely cool to see it live and full grown like yours! I read how it can climb but seeing it is really helpful! Thanks for posting!
Yes the light spectrum is 6500k which is more blue and white which signals continuous growth. Having red in it can signal fall time and it can be harder for it to grow out fast.
Im not sure, it looks similar. The type in the video is a hydrocotyle species which is very similar. I looked up centella and says it grows in wetlands so maybe its possible.
Hi Lucas, I ordered shrimp from you guys over a month ago and have been trying to reach out via email to Sara on updates but no response. I have my shipping confirmation which i received Feb 24th but have gotten no update since. If you could kindly help that would be greatly appreciated
Sorry you have not received a received a response. Sara is working on them and gets time usually on the weekend to do so. I told her you sent a message. We had every thing packed and ready to go but USPS halted shipments on all live shipments. I made a video about it and we will have them out this coming weds.ua-cam.com/video/SPP8aM8lF94/v-deo.html
@@LRBaquatics hey, thanks so much. just got the message and checked out the video, appreciate it very much. Thanks and hope it goes well for you guys!!!
Them ants, I have some new golden wonder killies getting used to me, and the expression on my male's face when I fed him egg carrying ones from my finger, lol- I know they don't blink, but he still looked happily surprised 😄. "Caviar!"
Its split down the middle panel. I will seal and build a sort of aquarium in it for a water hole but use rest as for terrestrial space. The tank is super heavy and not easy to just move.
Yes the there was a nationwide heat pack shortage then got hit by the weather for USPS I made a video about it last week. I had everything boxed up as shown in the vid and got turned away at the door by USPS. USPS is catching up and should def. have them out next week.

I love when my pennywort grows like this! It has such a wonderfully soft minty smell after trimming
That is nice
Wow! Beautiful!!
Really happy you are making more vids!
Can't wait to watch you dig into this project so we can see what's in those tanks! Especially the CPDs!!
Best pennywort video ever. I’m going to try this plant in my next tank. Thanks for showing how awesome it can be.
Thanks for noticing!
Whoa!!! I just fell in love with Brazilian Pennywort!
That Brazilian pennywort looks amazing!
You are an inspiration!
George Farmer may be the SCAPE king but you’re the ESCAPE king! 😆

Dart frogs with the overgrown plants would be an interesting project.
I'll love it

Hey Lucas, can't you just re-silicon the leaking tank? Do I see a sale coming on Brazilian Pennywort? LOL
🤣
love the pennywort jungle
I threw some penniwarts into my tank a few weeks ago and it hasn't grown at all. Definitely a little jealous
Give it some time. It may take awhile to get set and established, months. But when it does it will take off and stretch like crazy.
Ok thanks 😊
2:15 there is a praying mantis on the vine just to the left of the glass
Love watching your ever evolving fish rooms 🤩😜

Gotta love the natural look of this. I meed to try this along thebedges of a showtank some day.
Love pennywort, it outgrew my tank too so I took everything out except one strand and it’s coming back already
What's the secret with this plant?

@@kirani111 thanks so much!
Sounds like it loves you too.
that’s gorgeous!
Super cool video! the title got me interested x)
Nice grow!!!
3:10 it's L number 'Mr Pleco' ☺️
Do those tanks get water changes or just top offs?
Mostly top offs
@@LRBaquatics I'm assuming no gravel vacs either
What's ur plans for the big aquarium ontop of that rack?
Haha! You running a sale on Brazilian Pennywort?! Looks great and you don't do any special crazy light!
Lol no I should though :P maybe I will :)

Dart frogs would be cool i have thought about setting up a few tanks for them in my room.
I wouldn't mind having some of that Pennywort.
Love it. I'm guessing your ammonia/nitrite/nitrate in those tanks is as zero as zero can be :-)
Idk I never measure cause I never feel like I have too :)
Sweet Brazilian...
@lrb aquatics how did you fight the aphids? Did you win?
By cutting all the plants back there was nowhere else for them to go but to the fishes mouths 😄 The fish helped clean them up for me.
Is it primarily intended as a floating plant? Mine had roots everywhere so i assumed it needed to be in the substrate.
It definitely grows faster and better as a floating plant. Its growth is much slower underwater.
Lmfao the title is so funny 😂
Yes they like to scape 👍🥰
Can it be grown tied to driftwood? TIA
It can
Did you applied any fertilizer in that!?.
I did and water changes help
@@LRBaquatics My plants are not bearing an extra leaf at least!. I have submerged them in the white sand substrate supplemented with root tabs...
what light bro
Hope you have a great day also lucus
looks like trident java fern @ 7:43
are you gonna sell any of the trimmings?
So when you put them in there did you put the entire plant under water or the roots only?
I done it both ways but really takes off if you float it on top of the water.
@@LRBaquatics Awesome thank you! It’s definitely cool to see it live and full grown like yours! I read how it can climb but seeing it is really helpful! Thanks for posting!
It has something to do with your light? I can't get my penny worth to grow in the tank like that.
Yes the light spectrum is 6500k which is more blue and white which signals continuous growth. Having red in it can signal fall time and it can be harder for it to grow out fast.
Did he just welcome us into "the garage section of the fish room"!?!?! What the heck is even that? :
Lol
Hey Lukas I really want to buy some of your synodonis luciapentis. How can I do that?
Ask me when its warmer out. I have never shipped one.
Penny worth is a herb that is good for brain health especially memory power.
Going to order some from you how much light do they need
I use regular shop lights 4000 lumens 6500k
That pennywort is so WILD and crazy, but yeah, I can see that it's not really practical.
👍💓👍
can centella asiatica grow submerged?
Im not sure, it looks similar. The type in the video is a hydrocotyle species which is very similar. I looked up centella and says it grows in wetlands so maybe its possible.
@@LRBaquatics oh nice thanks for the info.sir!
@@LRBaquatics i have hydrocotyle sibthorpioides too
Me, looking at my dinky little stem with five baby leaves on it
How do you get this freaking thing to grow?
Need soil?
No actually grows best floating
Hey Lucas how are ya? Hey where's the best place to find the high end Rainbows online?
Thanks

can't get moss to grow keeps kicking it
Wow....everytime I try I always seem to melt and kill it
I have troubles growing it under water without fertilizer but growing on top as a floater works great!
1) Are you running Co2 in those Brazilian Pennywort tanks?
2) How long do you run your lights on the Brazilian Pennyworts?
Don’t need CO2 for it. Mine grows out of control. I think the key is good light and not much current. I have a nicrew light that does the job
No filters and no co2. Lights 6-8 hrs
Frogs would be very cool !
Brazilian pennywort is the freaking best
Male-heavy maybe because of the temperature.
10:19 Captions are annoying when you are half watching. Had to rewind because the caption I saw gave me a different interpretation 😂
This is lovely!

Why not fix the tank
Its split down the middle panel. I will seal and build a sort of aquarium in it for a water hole but use rest as for terrestrial space. The tank is super heavy and not easy to just move.
👍:)

Most aquarium plants strive to grow up and out of the water. Just takes time to let them make it that far.
