Your garden has so much potential. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Thanks for the update... beautiful rocks
Thank you :)
You are doing a good job clearing the garden. Love the rice fish. 😊
Thank you 🙏
You got me into keeping the Blue Miyuki Medaka! I saw a small medaka tank at the Fushimi Inari shrine in Kyoto earlier this year and was fascinated by them; but your super informative videos on Medaka really got me to buy these awesome little fish!
If you still have the larger goldfish pond how about stacking your extra landscape rocks around it for a border?
Hi Dean, yes I still have my pond and it’s now in the ground. I do plan on putting some large boulders around with some plants. I don’t like the small ones though, as they look unnatural and are hard to keep stable
You can cement the rocks together that you will not be using in aquascapes for making a little pond with a waterfall. I can not handle high heat any more and you are out there working in the sun, take care.
Nice rocks! Maybe you can get some slanted outdoor shelving so you can still see them all and save some space too.
Nice video Ryo it is always cool to see what you are up to. I like my hardscape as well and i put my rocks below my tanks. I leave them at view and i even make some kind of arrangement sometimes. I find that being able to see my hardscape often gives me new tank ideas.
The garden is already so beautiful, I can almost see what it must have looked like back in the day.
Why not use that rick from the garden to create some raised tiers to put the ricefish ponds on, rather than building racks so they look like part of the garden? It's already looking great, you're doing a great job. I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's done.
Also, thanj you for the update on the ricefish. Its getting hot here too & I have fry I hatched from purchased eggs that are probably ready to move to the mini ponds I set up. Ive been worrying about the water temps.
Thanks!
On behalf of Ryo and the other moderators, thank you for supporting the channel.
Your support is highly appreciated and valued. Stay blessed. 🙏😃
Thank you so much for your support!
Hello from the UK 👋 loved this content ❤️
Thank you ☺️
You could store your hardscape on the outsides of the walking path and under plants. So it looks like its part of your garden except you can still see it and pick up a piece whenever you need it for aquascapes.
Good idea!
You're doing a great out in your garden especially as it's so hot. I've been out tidying and planting today as well and I'm baked and exhausted 😅🌞
I believe the term is "karesansui". A rock garden. Or even design a "dry" river through the garden using the hard scape materials. With all those plants, and pots, start making WabiKusa displays with stone
Oh man, just when I felt burned out - there you are with all your manten stone! Ohhhh - so jealous! lol. And you KNOW I love your garden videos. You will do such an amazing job I am sure. My experience with weed cloth is to DOUBLE IT. It is not failproof. Hahhahhaha. Perhaps you Uncle's best friend, with the goldfish, can give you some pointers on how to tame your jungle? I love his garden.
Awesome video , I think it might look nice putting the rocks around or near the goldfish pond so you get to look at the amazing rocks and goldfish.
love the fish and garden looking good but I know it's hot everywhere even here in New York, take care
🐟😍
Very nice video! You have a lot of knowledge!!! You are going in the right direction. I am also in Japan, in the Kanagawa area and recently build my second pond after a smaller one. Here is an idea... Clean the area. Get all the rocks together in one place. Get rid of the weeds shrubs and roots, then take a good look at your area and see how you want to proceed. I believe this will help you.
wow amazing
Suggestion for unwanted pebbles c,garden cobbles, of planning building a wall or even against a wall incorporate with sand and cement, building in Norfolk UK for inspiration
Love the video and love your ideas. I'm trying to start off my own rice fish in the UK but its been difficult getting hold of the rice fish and the ones I have have had a few health issues - Im hoping to get them in better shape soon so that they can go in my indoor 'water gardens'. Despite the initial problems with the rice fish, I'm already in love with them - such curious and lively little fish. Although they still appear quite young they are already breeding so wish me luck hatching the eggs!! Thanks again for your videos and starting off my rice fish 'obsession.
Re. The hardscaping issue. How about making a zen style garden using your favourite rocks? You could easily swap the rocks out when needed for the fish tanks. I know it would be more of a zen style mountain range garden but it might work.
Thank you, I wish you good luck with your rice fish! One advice I can give you is give them some direct natural sunlight. I’ve seen and have been told by breeders that rice fish that stay indoors without natural sunlight tend to be weaker and get sick more often compared to ones that are kept outside.
Thanks for the advice. I will try them in sunlight by an open window as much as I can - we aren't supposed to keep them outdoors in the UK incase they get into our waterways - seems crazy!!! Hopefully this will change soon. Looking forward to your next videos.
😊 😊
Apparently Italy and Japan share the exact same weather, we are sweating too 😂for the rock part, why don't you set up a river style aquarium? With round pebbles and plants
Your lucky to have all that Manten Stone
For the stones, to keep them clean and not to get a green mossy growth or a dusty layer, you should be keeping them in one layer in the sun. Maybe build some strong shelf/stand, like for your fishtanks, and have the stone there away from the ground. Also I would guess less spinders, because the stones will get to hot in the sun. 😊
Thanks for the tip! I don’t think I can build a shelf for my materials but I’ll definitely keep moss from growing on them.
~Nice to see your Medaka again! You are the reason I have my own colonies just coming up to spawning condition again this year. As another UK member mentioned, it's hard to source good quality Medaka in the UK unless you pay big money!
👍🏻👍🏻
Weeds!! The annoying terrestrial version of algae! 👍💪
Any ideas on how to feed them while going away on vacation? Would a fish food block work?
Perhaps Grandmother was a student practiciner of Feng shui hence the narrow path and layout ❤
Hy bro Love from India
Thanks for support 🇮🇳
Instead of using landscape fabric you can use flattened cardboard boxes
Yeah I’ve heard, but cardboard rots away very quickly 🤓
Too hot for rice fish? It's too hot for just plain rice!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Do rice fish jump like beta or guppy?
I would probably be making a mini natural looking above ground pond with those garden rocks so they aren't just sitting idle around the yard. What are your thoughts, guys?
I just shared the idea because that's what i did with the tiny rock we have in our yard. Except that mine do not look natural because i struggled at retaining the water because i did not used water waterproofing in the cement. I ended up using a water proofing paint and I'm quite okay with it as long as it serves its purpose of growing out some of the fish i have bred.
Cool! I’ve had a similar idea but I’m really picky about looks and small rocks are hard to work with since it’s almost impossible to make it look natural and very hard to keep stable unless you use concrete to secure them.
Hello. Do you need to keep the lid always on. In your emersed setup. ??
Hello there.
Ryo has answered a similar query and he said he regularly opens the lids to aerate the plants.
Hope this helps 🙂
In the early stages of the setup, yes you need a lid. Otherwise the plants will dry out. Once they are established, you can take the lid off but they’ll need more frequent watering
when you are asleep, spiders drink the drool pooled up on the corner of your lips
Your post sounds a little weird.
So, the temperature range is about 2°C to above 40°C!?!
Yup, during Jan and Feb, we can get below 0°C
Hey ryo i am from india,do you think i can keep rice fish outdoors just like you? You know India is warm all year-round,in summer it gets over 40°c pretty easily
Hello there. Wow, the temperatures over there can get scorching hot.
Rice fish are one of the hardiest fish species.
That being said, temperatures exceeding 40 C, for prolonged periods of time, will surely be inimical to the fish.
Ideally placing them in shaded areas would be recommended, but with those types of temps, I'm not so sure. That might be hard on the fish.
Hope you'll be able to keep rice fish though. Good luck. 😃
@@Cow_Juice where are you from
@@arijitpal166 I'm from Asia, let's put it that way. 😃
@@arijitpal166 Oh and by the way, please don't mind my user name. I'm perfectly aware that in India, cows are considered sacred.
My name is a play on "milk". There's a funny story to that. But yea. Have a great evening ahead. 😃
@@Cow_Juice personally I found your username is very funny..I am not offended..I asked your location because I thought may be you have same climatic conditions with me
Ryo, it's past time you begin thinking about offering your talent combined with the array of material you have accumulated towards some sort of retail business. You are quickly running out of landscape to enjoy your passion.
Great video! You speak better english that most Americans.
Finaly got some rice fish only the orange one .. had only two left and never tought they would breed but they did and I now have at least 100s of them for only one female
Please do more videos about medakas.. finally got them in South Africa, and loving them.
Thanks for the rice fish update! Looks like you have a lot of space to work with there, lots of potential. Sometimes people do a top down plan/drawing that may be helpful
Yes, I’ve done that before! I should try it again :) Thank you!
Thanks for the update. Your temp range there is similar to ours here in Arkansas, USA. My outdoor tub ponds have been getting really warm. I wanted to try rice fish in them this summer but budget didn’t allow. Put out swords and white clouds I already had. Floating plants and lilies help cool.
Just bought some Sunrise Halfmoon,Ulysses and Platinum. Am looking at Kissing Marriage wide fin....very pretty...
The garden is looking great! My frogbit gets huge outside and provides tons of shade as well. Question for you, I’ve been trying to track down the name of the plant at the 2:05 mark. It’s behind the fish and to the left. Do you know what it’s called? Thanks!!!
I loved all of this update, thank you.. and those tress at the end of your garden are so beautiful! I've heard some people put bottles of frozen water in their mini ponds to keep the fish cool in really hot spells. (It hasn't been hot enough in the UK yet to test it out!).
Hi, what temperate aquatic plants do you recommend for zone 6B? I’m looking into rice fish, but I’m having trouble finding the right plants
Love your garden setup. It's always so nice to see Japanese fish shops. Hope I have the change to visit them some day.
Here in Massachusetts we have no place to buy plants!!!😢😢😢
Wow, very nice rocks! A great investment! What is the coldest temperature your rice fish have in the wintertime? I have an awesome book called Landscapes For Small Spaces by Katsuhiko Mizuno that you might check out for ideas for your yard.
Any medaka fish farm that you can recommend me to visit in Japan?
Well you are not the only one who likes rocks outside mine are mixed with plants right outside the front door and I move them around all the time🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Build a planter w the basic rocks. 🤙
you look so tall, what is your height?
I'm obsessed with ricefish, I've got 2 different strains in my yard. Could you do some videos visiting some ricefish breeders?
Yup, I’ll definitely try to visit some rice fish breeders and farms
Do you guys put any substrate in your rice fish mini ponds??
I'd like tonset one up. Any tips???
We do and don’t. For the ones that have substrate, we use baked clay. Looks like akadama soil but hard and sinks. It’s not leca.
@RyoWatanabee and what are benefits of having it in there? You don't plant into it do you?
@@madhatterjones4781 Not sure, maybe some extra beneficial bacteria?? I really just do it because other rice fish keepers do it here. I’ll try to ask what the benefits are next time
@@RyoWatanabee ok haha sure fair enough. How much of a layer do you put
@@RyoWatanabee I have like a crushed porus lava rick material
The first stone you demonstrated is called dragon stone for us, the second is correct Mountain stone. I love the rice fish in all color's but I dislike when in Japan and in other place uses them as a feeder fish. Is so nice of you to do maintenence on the yard for your grandmother.
Dragon stone is orange with lots of holes in it, also known as Ohko stone.
The first one I demonstrated is Seiryu stone, also known as Ryuoh stone. The others I got are Manten stone.
Yay another rice fish update vid.
OmG 40 C is no joke. Be sure to keep cool Ryo
Also cool hat 🤠
Japan summer is insane 🥵
@@RyoWatanabee I can imagine. Good work getting the garden cleaned up despite it.
Stay hydrated and stay awesome, my dude 😊
Was hoping to see a lot more rice fish content, disappointed.
nice Update, great Fish and Garden
Thank you!
