    Hi, these are actually the scuds also known as amphipods. The freshwater isopods are Asellus aquaticus and they do not swim in the water column as much as the amphipods do. They also grow larger. They are mostly hidden in the substrate or are clinging to plants and botanicals. Love your video and your project! Thank you for intruducing us to Phillips Fishworks. We get our microfauna from Carolina Biological Supply sometimes.

    Oh yeah I love Phillips Fish World this is where I get my microphone off from I started off with the bag of bugs and I've never seen my betta fish so happy he is non-stop moving wrestling through everything looking for stuff to eat it's really cool getting to watch the beta actually hunt

    Howdy Brock! Loving the detail on the various tanks. If you don't mind I'd like to know a little more about the shrimp... the breeding cycle timeline, how you manage the population for use in the big tanks, stuff like that. Well done and thanks for sharing! 🤠

      Thank you for leaving a comment. I think the shrimp have to be about four months old to reach breeding size but once they are that age, they can have babies every 30 days.
      The plan is leave them until they are until they’re overpopulated and then just scoop them out to the big tank.
      They need lots of hiding spots.
      The guppies will reproduce every 30 days as well

    Highly Recommend,taking a bit of potato skin,just a little bit and putting it in a jar full of aquarium water and sit on a sunny window and within a week you have yourself a culture of micro organisms ( can't remember the name,infisorea or something)😅 amazing food to feed to tiny fry.
    Or leave it longer with a airstone in it,then you create your own green water.

      Thanks for the kind words. I am a full-time CZcamsr in another niche. I just started this aquarium channel and I’ve only done 10 videos.
      I’m a lifelong aquarium enthusiast so I’ll definitely be sticking with this niche long-term

    The pod with the snail is a dried out lotus blossom the seeds were expelled pedals of the dead flower removed. Didn't know if you wanted to know or not :) But Cheers

    cheers from my fish room channel in Chicago, where I just subscribed to yours! Love this video and Tony! last summer he came by my house with his wife and we traded plants and fish and microfauna! Super fun day.

    Love the setup and the only thing that should ever start the cycle is common sense that keeps animals from any and all harm to any creature. I have been successful with everything I have tried from fish food and a few days later anything containing Bacteria from a trusted source or one of the many products specifically made by dozens of Companies and even a Dr.
    🌊 Anyone can be successful with a few hours of interest in learning about the Nitrogen Cycle and hopefully the good sense to approach everything based on patience and a good game plan.

    The round thing that came with the shrimp is a lotus pod. The holes are where the seeds had been.
    Good video. Keep it up.

    Hiya, thanku for a very interesting video. I would add a couple more snails but don’t get carried away like me, I now have twelve large pickle jars with snails, ‘pods’ n ‘cods’ - saving up for my first tank(s) but using the time to build up a good ecosystem. God bless your endeavours 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️. 🙋‍♀️🤍🇮🇱✌️

    plants also have bacteria on them when added to a tank.

  • @lloyd011721
    @lloyd011721 Před měsícem

    how does the safe start bacteria stay alive in the bottle if it dies in the aquarium if you dont put anything to feed it?

    • @uncommonaquatics
      @uncommonaquatics  Před měsícem

      Good question. I know that a sealed environment is different than when exposed to light and oxygen

      I disagree, I can’t bear it in conversation but the subject matter completely overrode my hangups! ✌️
