    Nick, I'm so glad you had the expertise and dedication to bring your fish back to good health! I love the fact that you are doing your part to keep endangered species alive. What a great contribution to this world you are! I admire your ability and knowledge to breed fish. I have no desire to do that myself but, good on you for doing so. Enjoy watching your videos and look forward to seeing more. Keep up the good work!

    I'm so glad you posted this. Things happen that are either out of our control or even from our own mistakes. I nearly killed one of my guppies in an accident I don't even want to mention because it was really stupid. I beat myself up over it for days. It's good to see people admitting that it happens to them. So glad he's doing fine now.

    Oh man, poor little guy. I bet you're going to be checking them all like a hawk now! Non fish people just can't understand how upset&stressed we can get over a sick or injured favourite fish. Storm season is defo here, I'm in Canberra, we just had half a 30m gum tree from our backyard fall on our garage during the last storm. The SES were epic, not too much damage thankfully and just missed the house. Everyone stay safe!

    "It's storm season, here Australia." It's just for Queensland and the Northern Territory! Also, because it has been raining lately, leave a big tub outside in the rain for free water! Also, just let the rams look after their fry, that way, they will probably survive!

    I am grateful to have found your videos. Definitely subscribed ! I love Pleco’s and find them to be very interesting, but my own personal experience with only one I purchased from our local petsmart, was an eye opener! Definitely my fault for not researching the kind of pleco it was… as I had ever only seen small ones in friends or families tanks and of course the pet store. well, that pleco grew tremendously and outgrew my 200gallon tank in 2 years. I donated him to a local rescue that mainly deals with turtles and koi. They were very pleased to have him and I’ve visited a few times over the last few years and he is so massive! I couldn’t believe that a tiny $29.99 Pleco could grow into such a huge fella! He gets moved with the koi into their beautiful spacious koi pond in summer. He’s definitely living his best life! 💖

  • @toxictears3642
    @toxictears3642 2 роки тому

    Good to hear that, Next time if a similar situation arises with some other fish, you can black out the bottom of the fry box with a vinyl or spray paint which keeps them calm (as it's transparent whenever you walk past doing your maintenance or sort, they get stressed out easily) this is a small piece of information that might be helpful and keep the fish feel secure in such cases when they're already stressed out.

    Its a UPS, you should measure or calculate the watts on what you are going to plug there, to know how much time you cant get without power, calculate, than choose the right VA's UPS, just to avoid bad surprises , and an advice, 3 or 4 times a year when doing the fishroom maintenance unplug it from power to discharge and cicle the batterys , cheers from Portugal, and btw, amazing work with that fishroom 😀

  • @usaaddicts9346
    @usaaddicts9346 2 роки тому

    I have a tip i used on my rams fry. You pould the young fry to big. They need to be in a smaller container. If the fish raise the fry they keep them in a tight spot as well. Just a much smaller container with not much flow so they find the food faster and don't need to waste energie by swimming. They i put them larger once they eat baby brine for a couple of days.

  • @ericb4492
    @ericb4492 2 роки тому

    When I was using battery back ups, they needed to plugged directly into the wall outlet to work properly. I had my pump always plugged into it at all times and the back up would kick on or off as needed automatically.

    When you do a reenactment, you need to use a body double. Someone who looks just like you, but not really. And make sure they imitate you in some overly exaggerated way. If you can’t find a body double, sock puppets work just as well.

  • @DanielKeepingFish

    Ah that's amazing he's okay.
    Don't beat yourself up too much, we've all done it. I lost one of my favorite fish wedging him behind a filter. Was only a Dwarf Gourami but I loved that fish and felt so guilty but accidents as they say happen. Just makes us more careful going forward.
    As always a great and honest video (with added pores 😆).

  • @tvideo1189
    @tvideo1189 2 роки тому

    Just a suggestion on your Ram fry that you said you were losing because of feeding issues. You can put a TON of Micro worms and/or Banana worms in that tank and they will live a very long time (days). And you really don't need to have them in a flow-through breeder box when they are really small... it just washes out the food. I have raised Rams many times and would actually consider them one of the easier fish to raise from eggs away from the parents. Put them in a small container without flow through, change the water with large changes at every opportunity, and the fry should do well.

    I had a very similar thing happen 6 months ago! Happy to report my fish survived and is strong and healthy. Have you used black water? It’s humic/Fulvic acid and it can really boost the immune system of your Zebs and soft water fish! It’s also amazing for plants!

    Fish heal up pretty quick, I once had a Sterbai cory with pretty much no tail. My corys used to squeeze under a long piece of wood to the other side a lot under sand and the only think I can think that happened was it cut its tail or something which became infected and came off as I just noticed one day a Cory looked like it was all head and it didnt have a tail, in about 10 days the tail completely regrew to normal full colour and everything, every day it grew noticably like probablly 1mm per day or something.
    I always still wonder what happened to that tail as another fish wouldn't have bitten it or anything as it was so flat and clean off right at the base and I only have small fish so they never ate it, also it was never sick or nothing even with no tail it swam and ate as normal.

    Nick, it’s horrible when you realise you’ve an injured one. Yes it’s a worry coz they’re dam expensive but moreso it’s the worry about losing one of you fish babies. They aren’t like cats or dogs where we can suss out injuries or illnesses a lil more easily. With fish it’s super hard especially if not a specific injury which luckily you kinda knew what had caused it here.
    The “mo” looking quite swank there for MO-v ember but I do prefer you with out… 😉
