Hi Adam. I’m one of the crabs that escaped the tank. I have a daughter and two son now and we live happily in the state of Alabama. My wife and I are planning to pay you a visit next Christmas. I hope you got our wedding invitation. We understand you were busy.
I'm loving this fish keeping arc in the Adam Ragusea show
Might be my favorite arc since Brownie Skin
Even Dave2D has been on it
Adams aquariums.
They're so educational I love it
This.
"a chain of low islands dribbling suggestively from the tip of florida" thank you adam very cool
I’m something of a planted tank enthusiast myself who has watched this channel for several years. Your recent addition of planted tank content is a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one! At this rate, pretty soon I won’t have to watch any other UA-cam channels, just this one.
I'm guessing you inject CO2?
@@user-op8fg3ny3j Never! A “high tech” tank with lots of injected CO2 and artificial fertilizer is subjectively prettier to some, but can be expensive and high maintenance. I do a “low tech” method with no additional CO2 or fertilizer called the Walstad method, which I discovered through a UA-cam channel called Foo The Flowerhorn.
@@user-op8fg3ny3j straight into my veins yep
I feel like there is great crossover potential between cooking and fishkeeping arcs here---DIY CO2 via yeast fermentation!
Lol, you took the words right out of my mouth, when this video popped up I thought the UA-cam algorithm was playing a joke on me, but our Mr Ragusa really is a man for all seasons. Cooking and aquariums occupy a sizable percentage of my time but I’m also quite fond of music and gardening, and he’s got these covered too! Is an Adam Ragusea video about specimen preparation and taxidermy too much to hope for?
Thank you so much for sharing this with us Adam! Whether its recipes for the at-home cook or simply a look into your hobbies, we appreciate everything you create :)
true
Adam’s Channel is slowly morphing from a cooking channel into a variety channel like Atomic Shrimp. I’m here for it.
I live in Florida, but never thought to do a mangrove tank. Such a cool idea, I can just stock it with native fiddler crabs.
Need an aquaculture playlist! Keep this "stream" of content coming!
The biology arc is unexpected, but welcomed with pure excitement
Adam, I think you underestimate how many of us are here to watch you specifically and enjoy your brand of infotainment. So whether it's food, history, aquaculture or anything else that tickles your fancy, we're here for it. :)
And as a fan of @SerpaDesign, I'd love to watch your tank builds!
Hi Adam, I'm really happy that you're doing this type of content in addition to your recipes/food science videos. Not so much because I'm interested, but because of how enthusiastic you sound talking about it!
For your more recent recipe videos, I felt like you didn't have that same enthusiasm for cooking as you did in your earlier videos. I'm really happy that you have something else to talk about, and that you're branching out. Wishing you the best for your fish keeping arc!
This exudes the energy of someone who’s giddy over a new hobby and is dying to share their enthusiasm with literally anyone who would listen lest they burst from excitement
I'm shocked to be saying this, but I'd love a "getting started" video. i never even thought i might be interested in aquaculture until watching the last couple of your videos and realizing that maybe i could finally accommodate my kids' let's-get-a-pet requests with a tank i actually like without having to deal with accompanying allergies. Especially interested in the idea of a hydroponic herb/apartment-friendly-veggies garden with a fish tank component!
These kind of information, I don't even get from channels that focus only on fish-keeping. Loving this new fish-keeping content.
Yes, we care. We will watch you and whatever niche rabbit hole you happen to fall into and any time!
I've realized it's not the content that you make that I enjoy. It's listening to your voice. As you narrate it is just so wonderful.
It's pretty neat to see this Adam! Keep it up!
I myself went from watching nothing but cooking videos to slowly getting into hydroponics, so I can grow my own food indoors since I'm an apartment dweller. But the beauty and bonus of hydroponics is simple; fresh veggies/herbs/fruit all year round relatively pest free!
And fish are good for hydro setups.
@@wobblysauce Yep! AKA Aquaponics!
Never in my life did I think I would ever hear of the Eel Pit dude and Vampire Crabs in the same place, two of my favorite things
Those crabs are so chill, they're just lil dudes hanging out
Adam’s channel conversion from food tuber to geeky guy lifestyle tuber is something I’m here for
6:28 Robed Ragusea, turkey knife in hand, shaving expanding foam is an image I never knew I would respond so humorously too. 😂
Those teeny tiny little crabs are just unfathomably cute. 🥰
Adam Ragusea is turning into an exotic pet UA-camr and I’m here for it
Mangrove forests are awesome. Wishing you the best of luck with your project Adam! :D
Ok I didn’t watch this video (yet) I just wanted to talk to you directly. I’ve seen your videos all over TikTok but realized it was reposted fan pages and not actually you. I tried to find somewhere to write this where you might actually see it.
Thank you for making content. I love your videos; how clear and well spoken you are, and your enunciation. It sounds like a funny compliment but it makes your videos addictively engaging to me.
You’re eloquent and articulate and explain things in plain English concisely without sounding condescending, even though you sound like a brilliant person probably smarter than most of the viewers.
I’m too shy to make my own content but you inspire me to want to try, especially since you have many of my same interests (for example I’ve always wanted to build a vivarium exactly like this and didn’t even know the video was here. I was looking for the rest of a one pan meatloaf TikTok.
The only problem is, i used to speak nearly identically to your oration style, but had no friends in primary grade school. Nobody wanted to talk to the walking textbook. So as a5-6 year old I tried to fit in by actively speaking with a lazy slang speech and mumbling my words so I didn’t stand out as much. And over 30+ years my mouth tongue etc got lazily trained to speak how I do now. But you inspire me to be better. Thank you.
"If they wanna leave the greenhouse, good luck to them."
Godspeed, crabs. 07
I appreciate a channel that offers variety. I’m sure others do, too. Please, continue producing and sharing content such as this!
Beautiful habitat, Adam, and it's a joy to see you immersed in building a little world to escape to. Please don't be dismissive of the invasive potential of any exotic species, though. Just because they are small and cute doesn't mean that they can't be a pest in the wrong place. Some of the worst invasives in the world were prized as ornamental treasures until they escaped from captivity and drove out natives. Think snakeheads or Kudzu, and beware.
kudzu is the scariest thing, it’s basically going to consume the entire north american continent
@@breebree5045 People should consume it instead. It's highly prized in Japan, where it is native. If you have it nearby, try it; you can eat the leaves, flowers, and tuberous roots. Just be sure that it has not been treated. There's tons of information online.
“Fish enthusiast Adam” has been such a fun, unexpected tangent.
Can I say I just love your editing style for your explanatory videos. It's weirdly like, soothing? It's always very clearly cleanly done
Love everything you make Adam, no matter what the subject is. Your passion for things is always an inspiration.
I spent the whole video thinking the tank looked cool, but what was going to stop the crabs from climbing out. Then at the end, Adam finally says oh yeah, the crabs can escape & he's fine with that. 😂
Where they'll either die or become an invasive pest (depending on location)... Not great for anyone...
@@IndoorEcosystem I take it you didn't watch the entire video considering he pretty heavily implied they basically can't become invasive because they won't survive...
@@tynj4173 I watched the entire thing... The problem is that he has a massive following and people from all around the world like to emulate things which is where the problem comes in. If you're going to kept a pet/animal you've got to do it responsibly especially if you have an audience that looks up to you. Regardless of where you live. Video skips rates are high and a lot of people will miss this. They'll see they tank for a few seconds and think yep! I can do that.
@@IndoorEcosystem We’re talking about his specific situation, you just deflected.
@@tynj4173 I said (location specific) in my original comment. No deflection.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 WOW ... Love your design ... You have aquarium landscaping talent for sure ... Well done & great video
If this is an aquarium channel now, Im here for it.
coming here from the fishkeeping side of yt while also loving cooking; W crossover honestly.. as long as he dosent start eating the fish!
Its like a SerpaDesign video, but hosted by Adam, I LOVE IT
love ragusea going from what fills the bank to what fills the heart
Always a great day when we can welcome a new Knoxville aquarist!
Thank you for all the close ups of the crabs + fish! It's really cool to see them all swim around + hang out!
Very cool aquarium, Adam. Loved getting to see your process, and all the thought put into it!
omg yesss I fell in love with vampire crabs after Clint's Reptiles did a video on them, so cool!
THIS IS AWESOME!! But those crabs will surely escape that setup. I suggest a diy kit from Amazon with magnetic netting. Saved My crabs lives 🦀 ❤
“Dribbling suggestively” the best thing I heard all day
I was so excited to see this pop up, please keep us updated! I’d also love to see more aquatic plant setups from you, as long as you’re comfortable with the rate you make them at of course
I for one completely support the channel's new adorable crustacean overlords!
This was fantastic, thank you for sharing. The tank is beautiful.
I've never kept fish and never intend to, but I've always enjoyed them vicariously. I love not just the content here and explanations and memories, but also seeing the very obvious joy it's giving Adam. More, please!
I had some little crabs like this as a little kid. They always found a way to climb out, crazy escape artists.
Thanks for following through and sharing this with us! Awesome job!
I'm thrilled that Adam has crabs and I would like to see more of them.
I had a vaguely similar setup in a 100 gallon tank vivarium, with a 10" false bottom made.from plastic crate qnd carbon fiber window screen material, upon which I placed the substrate for the plants allowing their roots to grow down and into the water. The outflow of my canister filter made terrestrial river which flowed into a small pond which had a sand covered pipe to allow water to seep from the pond to the false bottom chamber, and back to the outflow. Happiest terrarium I ever built.
can't wait to see the update video in 20 years that thing will be beautiful
okay, i think we're gonna want a livecam on the crabs
Aw this is absolutely gorgeous!! Your crabbies might enjoy some bloodworms, shrimp, fresh veggies, and fruits since they're scavengers and would usually eat a very varied diet in the wild. Also, a cuttlebone might be a good addition since they need a LOT more calcium than you'd think. If you want a crab ladder, plastic embroidery mesh is my go to option. Best of luck with your little guys!!!
YES FINALLY!! THE FISH CONTENT I NEEDED
Glad you ended up making this vid because I was super interested in seeing this build. Thanks!
All the thought and science that goes into this is fascinating. Looking forward to your aquarium update in a year's time.
It's a beautiful viv! The mangroves are an especially nice touch.
Excellent work! Can't wait to see how this develops, going forward :) Your delivery suits this topic well.
I love the fish arc. I'm a big fish enthusiast and I think it's awesome that food and fish are coming together 41.
Hey Adam, glad to see you so passionate about something. Hope you're doing well and happy holidays!
Totally reminds me of the times I spent with my late dad on our six tanks of various sizes. Thanks for sharing, Adam!
when your weather loaches get too big and get transferred to the pond(love that you actually addressed this), kuhli loaches might be worth looking into, funky little guys but they stay much smaller, get a few and you should be seeing them quite frequently, depending how warm your tank is
Love the concept Adam. very interesting and absolutely beautiful. Super creative the foam raft. Looking forward to seeing how she does, 20 years from now.
I love all the information you give on each plant and your process. Also, there is a genius idea for that. Water circcculation system! I hope it lasts more than 20 years!
This is one of the coolest tanks I have EVER seen!
Adam I'm loving this sidequest style videos. Recently got some space back in my office room and was planning on making a vampire crab enclosure. Its been stuck in my head since seeing a video from Dr. Plants!
Way to go! I love to see someone work on something that they're passionate about. I also admire all the thought and creativity that you used in creating your set up. The crabs are adorable! I have very fond memories as a kid of checking out the tidepools during low tide on the Oregon coast. Your set up seems like a personal tidepool. Keep us updated! Love to see how things progress, especially the mangroves. We don't have over here in the Northwest, unless I make my own tank... No, I have too many hobbies as it is! I'll live vicariously through yours.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us. 👍👍👍👍👍
I have vampire crabs growing naturally in the water filled tree holes of our farm it’s really cool seeing them
Hey Adam just wanted to wish you a happy holidays and hope you’re doing well! Thanks for the always fascinating content.
Adam, keep doing videos like this. You seem way more enthusiastic about these than your other videos lately. Your passion and energy seems way higher when you're making videos you want to make instead of videos you think you need to make
Your adspot was done very well. The best I've seen.
Dribbling suggestively you are feeding the ytp people good today
'Dribbling suggestively off the tip of south Florida'. Legend.
I’m so glad you’re doing this it looks like this makes you really happy and you really enjoy doing it. I’m happy for you.
Interesting solution to the habitat problem. And I'm glad your subjects do not have to be fed with blood.
I thought this was a SerpaDesign video when I clicked lol great work!
I've been watching your channel for a couple years and got into aquariums a few months ago. Really enjoying the dive into my new hobby.
As someone who loves both cooking and aquarium/terrarium building, I really appreciate that you are sharing this with us Adam.
few weeks ago i got into painting warhammer 40K mini figures and i see my man Ragusea has a hobby of his own, neat
Was literally thinking about aquascaping so your timing is perfect
I was hoping for this video, wasn't sure if we were going to get it.
Because this video is different from your normal ones, it probably wont do as well at first.
But im sure if you make more it might get popular, there is clearly an audience for this type of aquarium/habitat content on UA-cam.
I literally thought of something like this yesterday and now I see it on my feed! I am very interested. It looks amazing!
Looking forward to the video in 20 years.
This is the coolest thing ever! I've been wanting to make an aquarium in our tiny condo. I've been watching a lot of fish youtubers but it's really nice to see my favorite youtubers get into the same stuff I'm interested in 🥰
I had no idea just how cool mangroves are. Love learning new things..
i've been subscribed for years and years for cooking and always been a huge fan, i'm thrilled to see the aquarium hobby here!! love it!!
Adam as an avid fish keeper I would love more of these videos. Maybe another channel solely for fish and plants?
Every Adam Ragusea video is a gift, Merry Christmas! 🎄
Im super exited about this new content! food + plants+ critters are all of my favorite things! 🙂
Great new addition to your food lineup.
I love this video so much!
I am currently setting up a vivarium for a jumping spider, and I own two 29 gallon freshwater tanks. I didnt expect for my two hobbies to mesh so much, food and taking care of animals. Please make more videos like this, I love that you used foam.
I love it when the Adam style of video is applied to a wide range of subjects
I normally watch this kind of content on channels like serpa design and the dark den, so I thought nothing of it when a vampire crab popped up on my home feed and decided to click it. Suddenly I was met with the voice of Adam Ragusea and I had a total, "whoa, who, what, where am I!?" moment, what a lovely surprise! Would definitely love some future updates on this project, even if the mangroves haven't completely filled in yet. :)
Ive always loved aquariums and fishkeeping so to see you get into it and so handily with your first tank is awesome :)
Literally shouted in excitement to know one of my fave food youtubers is doing a video on my off and on favorite thing, fishkeeping. The cowturtle crossover made me HOOT AND HOLLER! YESS!! Love this and its such a good match for your videomaking style, with the heavy science focus. Even if it didn't match your existing video style I wouldn't care!
I like these new kind of videos! Your interests are interesting! It helps me branch out onto things I could also enjoy!
All of a sudden I see Adam in 2023 and he has an aquaterrarium lifestyle.
Fantastic!
As a fellow foodie and fish keeper Im loving this
