Australian Biotopes highlights from 2022
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I have put together some highlights from my travels in 2022 and a couple of biotope aquariums, 2022 was a strange year for our weather we had a lot of floods in Australia and a lot of my favourite spots were destroyed but I managed to still find a lot of pristine spots in my travels and it took a lot of kilometres to do so, approximately 10 000km traveled in all, but it was a lot of fun visiting some new places some with friends, the great thing about Australia is it's a large country and if the weather is bad in one spot you just go to another, I hope you enjoy what I have put together and if you have any suggestions for 2023 feel free to leave a comment and don't forget to like and subscribe for more of these videos, Thanks for watching.
Beautiful footage Jason! What a privilege it has been being able to meet you before 2022 ends. Thank you so much for all you have done for me and how you have helped me with my tank. I'm looking forward to seeing what the New Year brings 😊🎊🎆
Thank you Kaity same to you! lets hope we both have a great New Year 🙂
So true the best video Kaity
very nice, amazing video. thank you for share
Thanks for watching! 🙂
Thank you for great places and pictures and videos in 2022. I am watching this from Germany and can´t get enough of the beauty of this country. Plus they are great inspiration for building biotope tanks as well. Am looking forward to your videos in 2023 🙂
Thank you for watching, I'm happy they have helped 🙂
I'm a bit late to the party, just subbed!!!
Looking forward to 2023 mate :)
Thanks mate! I just did the same to you, I watch UA-cam all the time and haven't came across your channel, great to see there are so many Aussie channels popping up on aquariums 🙂
@@australianbiotopes4563 no shortage of topics, locations, collaborations, education and entertainment to make videos of :)
Awesome video my friend , thank you
Thank you! 🙂
Great pics- epic music- great stuff 👍
Thank you! 🙂
Amazing video. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for watching! 🙂
This. Is. Amazingly. Well. Done!!! Made me happy!
Thank you! I will try and do one each year from all the trips I go on, maybe next time I will add my voice 🙂
Hi Jason, beautiful footage. Great to see you at Nick's shop this afternoon (KFS). Looking forward to your help putting that Rainbow tank together in next couple of weeks.😀
No worries mate! great to meet a fellow Rainbowfish lover 🙂
Very-very nice! Thank you!
Thank you for watching 🙂
Amazing content on your channel, places where we can never see or access. Truly appreciate your work, keep it up mate.
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoy it 🙂
Thank you mate. Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate what you do immensely. I’ve collected wild native fish for as long as I can remember. Great work and I can’t wait to see the adventures you go on in 2023
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoy it 🙂
Beautiful places, where nature is still master of itself, let's hope they won't be altered by human stupidity. Congratulations for the nice video.
Thank you! the good thing is we have a lot of protected places here and I hope it stays that way, a lot of land gets purchased by nature groups and will hopefully be looked after for future generations 🙂
Thanks for all the wonderful images during the year. On many occasions I watched your videos to recharge and re-set myself. I love the water, being around it, kayaking, fishing. The clarity in some of the water holes you visit is amazing and lends itself to awesome visuals. Keep up the great work you do.
Thank you! yes I'm the same, I some times watch them to get motivated to get out and film more, we have some beautiful spots around our country 🙂
Superb work Jason!
Thank you Greg! 🙂
Beautiful mate! All the best for 2023
Thank you Nick! same to you 🙂
Another great compilation. What was your favourite of the list?
Thank you! I have to say out of all the places that Daintree National Park would have to be my favourite spot, there are a few creeks there but they are all pristine and full of fish that aren't afraid of people.
@@australianbiotopes4563 They get really beautiful if you get the chance to walk them further into the mountains. Quite a change in scenery and this fish life changes a fair bit but they are stunning. Your vids really make me miss adventures in Aus! Looking forward to your content in 2023.
You have beautiful nature, many biotopes to map. I'm currently mapping the biotope for Pseudomugil Gertrudae.
Greetings from Poland.
Thank you! there are plenty of them 🙂
Great channel. Just found it - and sure it´s worth a subscription! Now I have to view much videos, it´s a great pleasure for me! Kind regards, Rolf
Thank you Rolf! just in time, I am putting out a 3 part documentary on North Queensland soon.🙂
What an absolutely stunning vision you had in 22 ! I tip the hat to you good sir 🎓 and can’t wait to see your vision for 23 ! 🔥❤️🔥🔥😎👌🏼👍🏼
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, hopefully I will be as lucky in 2023 🙂
I am a fan of Australian species, for years European aquarium enthusiasts have turned to Amazonian and Asian species perhaps because they are better known and easier to acquire and in my opinion the Australians have nothing to envy them.
Precious videos 👌.
Thank you! it is like everything, people want what is hard to get, I have loved Australian species since I was a kid maybe because my grandfather and father are from Europe and they used to take me from a very young age to go and catch these native fish as they also loved them, I to like fish from other countries but it is much easier for me to do biotopes of Australian fish for this channel as it is much easier for me to replicate with genuine hardscape, and I know how popular they are for people overseas to see as it can be difficult for them to obtain such things as hardscape and plants.
Very Cool Year. Awesome. Thankyou
Thank you for watching, it was a worry with all the floods we have had but we got there in the end 🙂
Fantastic videos, managed to finish viewing them all, thanks to acquiring covid! Lol, cough, cough, I found the silver lining. I expect there are still plenty of places for you to explore in Australia, but it would definitely be cool if you made a side trip to film our underwater friends in new guinea. Duck-billed platypus in the wild would also be pretty cool for us foreign fans. Looking forward to 2023 now that I am all caught up.
My family has just all had Covid as well, so I haven't been able to do anything for a few weeks, I was thinking of maybe setting up a couple of biotopes but I'm trying to think of what I want to do, we have had some bad floods locally so some of our waterways are wrecked, I might go out and explore again soon hopefully, I've also been helping a couple of other UA-cam friends with some videos as well, Kaity Cichlids and Keeping Fish Simple if your interested, I've done a couple of videos with them but didn't bother publishing as it was more for them, Thanks for watching, I hope you have enjoyed them 🙂 I just subscribed to you to.
@@australianbiotopes4563 haha, prepare to be underwhelmed at my channel... they should have a "student driver" sticker for folks like me who are learning. Glad to hear you are set to hit the water soon. I have spent a lot of time doing fisheries inventories and angling in Alberta; when we've had issues with flooding we try to hit high in the watershed and/or spring sourced areas that have small watersheds which are generally less impacted by flooding... found some real cool spots when I've had to take out a map and find spots meeting specific criteria. There may be a silver lining! Keep taking those young kids out there, they loved it, and its fantastic to pass knowledge on to the next generation of fishkeepers/conservationists. It's tough to conserve what you don't know exists and those youngsters are doing a great job of showing the world the natural beauty of Australia.
@@AguabonitaAquatics We all got to start somewhere, the first couple of videos I did were with a cheap camera and I even had the date stamp on them that I had to crop off, you can probably see my older ones were more unprofessional as well, it is more a case we are documenting like you would of with fisheries, it hopefully will help preserve it as people will arsenate it's beauty, yes I do go to check out upper reaches after flooding as well, in the hills it is always more pristine anyway far from people 🙂
Love the recap Jason, truly stunning footage mate.🙏🥰
Thanks Mate! 🙂
Thank you very much friend, very beautiful!
Thank you for watching 🙂
Very nice 👍👍👍
I think you shouldnot only focus on fishes but also focus on crayfish and turtles !
Greetings from Myanmar 😊😉
Thank you! I might try and do that in the coming year, Thank you for your input 🙂
Thank you for the amazing Video. Have a Happy New Year ! Greetings from Germany
Thank you for watching and same to you 🙂
Incredible pictures it was a great year Keep it up, greetings from Germany ❤
Thank you! I will, I still have a lot to explore 🙂
Wonderful video! For those of us learning, it would be super helpful if you put names of the critters you show up on the screen as you do in some other videos
It has been a learning process for me doing these videos, future videos will probably all have voice over so will be much more informative, more like documentary style.
The videos are great. I have just found your chanel & am really enjoying it. I'm down in SA & keen to learn about our local native freshwater fish. It's amazing how little info is available!
@@Froggle9745 Yes Hopefully with time I will change that.
@@australianbiotopes4563 brilliant plan! if you ever do work in SA, I'd love to be involved! I'd love to explore habitats on KI 😊
@@Froggle9745 I've been down there but to photograph reptiles, some nice places.
Keep feeding us these pearls in 2023! Eucalyptus spp. and Acacia spp. are so common in Australia, but none of the biotope aquariums use these leaves as background. I find contaditory info regarding its use. Do you have any experiencem with its use?
Thank you! yes I use them both and they are safe to use but you must collect them already dead and dried naturally fallen from the trees and then I pre soak them in boiling water about 3 times first, eucalyptus especially has a very strong leaf that will last for a long time even after this soaking process, most of the timber I use is also from eucalyptus , it is a great timber for the aquarium as it is very dense and will last for years, I have had it in a tank for years and have cut pieces off and it was still dry in the centre, it also sinks fast because of it's weight.
@@australianbiotopes4563 Oh there was big storms here in Lisbon. Eucalyptus and Acacias are invasive species and I managed to snatch some branches, still green, but broken by the storms. I was drying them up, but I am too afraid to use them now. Roots are a bit easier to get as there are some plantations nearby and they always leave stuff behind.
Anyone know the big catfish looking fish that shows up around 7:23 ? love seeing these biotopes great work. Would be cool to see a side by side of natural shots compared to the aquarium you set up
Thank you! it's a Eat-tailed Catfish (Tandanus tandanus), I'd like to do more of the side by side in the future when I'm setup properly for it, maybe through this winter as I use the warmer months for filming in the wild, but yes it would look great, Thanks for your comment
@@australianbiotopes4563 thank you so much, cool fish. Good luck!
@@XiadaniLicarayen Thank you! 🙂
i gotta ask. Was that Mossman Gorge at 3:16?
Yes it was.
@@australianbiotopes4563 was it the little creek on the right walkway from the carpark? I used to sit there looking for yabbies as a kid. Mostly prawns. I saw a marron looking yabby in there once. Only ever once though. Same up st cape trib. Just once.
2:52 was the bottom swimming hole right?
@@eddieb357 Yes.
interesting shots, terrible music. fortunately there is no human speech and so I was free to turn off the sound.
Thank you! each to their own with the music, I'm happy you enjoyed the video 🙂
