Just a quick FYI, the AKA will send you young fish and not eggs. You can pick from great, easy to keep killifish that are currently available. I know this because I got a pair of Fundulopanchax gardneri Rayfield when I joined last year. I also just donated 10 pairs of Fundulopanchax gardneri and 10 pairs of Fundulopanchax scheeli for new members that joined at the Triple Crown.
Thank you! I received a pair of the Fundulopanchex scheeli you donated when I joined the AKA at the Triple Crown! :)
@@pamburton5203 thank you so much for letting me know! It's kind of strange never knowing what happens to your fish. I wish I could have made it. I bet it was an awesome experience.
@Pam Burton I forgot to mention that you have any questions, please ask me. I enjoy sharing any information that can help people.
Wow!!! This amazing! Thank-you!!!
You are so very welcome! I knew a few (yet critical) demographic of viewers would value this haha. It's a decade of my trial an error, honestly
I’m Dutch Canadian it’s exciting to see the hobby there 🥰
Right on! That's an interesting combo culturally. I love to hear about people's unique backgrounds and perspectives! Thanks for stopping by
As someone’s who’s only resource is this channel I needed this💀
Haha yes...please fact check me (not joking)... I make lots of mistakes I'm sure...I'm just learning and then sharing what I've learned, with you all. I'm honored some folks are also interested as well!
Thank you so much ❤🇨🇦
You are so very welcome!
South of Holland is good noth is a little bit less but we are next to germany so its on here... Alex look up Joop Kling and look at his scape... Its lovely .. The scape is inspired on the landscape of the south of Holland..
Okay awesome! I will , thank you
Good info
Heck YES! Thank you! Geepers...we can read forever! So, Alex, you "bloom where you are planted" and leave a trail of good karma/vibes where you go, by just being
yourself. Òf course, you are the 'extraordinary' extra in Life and I want you to know how much you are appreciated, as a teacher, a guide, a 'chill' soul, and a heck of a nice guy wrapped in 'extra' of the best sorts. You, make me know my moniker for my life's journied self, is my truth. Because you, and many other great souls have somehow...you fell into my collection of 'joyful, HaPpY blessings'. Your legacy, your fishtory, will carry on into infinity. Thank you, for every shared wisdom, truths, and reality. Real people are so undervalued in this 'bling world', eh? Real, extraordinary, people like yourself, are the oxygen & air bubbles of delight, in my tank. Signed: The Most Blessed Woman in the multiverse. ✌🏼🙏🖖🏼💕🧜♀️🐠🌿🐠

Thanks!
You got it!
Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes maintained by the California Academy of Sciences is also a great place where you can get the most updated and valid scientific name of a species as well as other information (like type locality, distribution etc).
Nice video as always 🙂
Haha I actually included it In the links in the description, but since fishbase is linked to their dataset too. Great suggestions though too! Thanks
@@Fishtory Correct! As a matter of fact, clicking on the species name on FishBase will take you directly to that species' Catalogue of Fishes entry. 😃
Thanks for the awesome info!! ❤️
Thanks my fishy friend!
awesome vid
Thank you!
Ay thanks man
You got it
Thank you for adding Aussie info. This video is a great source of info, especially the iucn. Great job as usual!❤️🇦🇺
Thank YOU!
DUDE, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
This is the exact kind of research I have been looking for lately. Something that's legit straight from the source with 1st hand accounts of what happened. instead of just the same old copy and pasted and regurgitated information that all of the CZcamsrs and Facebook pages repeat and parrot off of each other. I keep telling people that this is the kind of reference to information you want to go by not some trendy dude on CZcams or Instagram or any other social media. Back when I used to work in pet retail I used to tell people that this is the research they should be doing and staying off of social media. thank you for stating these legit sources here so now all the noobs who do their research here have good references to do some actual research.
No worries. Thanks for tuning in and dropping by! I'm so glad that you are interested in spreading accurate information in the hobby. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing all of these links!!! Definitely not the easiest thing-finding valid research within the hobby.
It can be really tricky. I try and find 3 sources that agree...and also that do their own research (not copying one another) if possible. But with new species and new morphs sometimes there's not much out there
Alex, two things.... have you ever considered editing down your life streams after the fact to a more focused subject? I find that when I put these on there is a lot great knowledge but I do not have the attention span to pay attention to the entire conversation and end up changing the video once I am bored. Second, much of the educational content dives deep. As a new comer categorizing content into 100, 200, 300 & 400 level may allow people just starting out to learn at a level they are comfortable with and not feel overwhelmed. I feel your channel has a lot to offer the hobby. Keep up the good work.
Thanks ..I've been thinking of the 102- expert /401 labels too! Thanks for the idea!
My 1st reaction is do not change anything! I understand his thoughts about spacing out, but that is what a replay and rewind buttom is for. You rain tidbits from all levels and plant seeds that we will recall hearing, as we progress, Alex. Like, when your grandfather drops a sentence about stripped screws, which does not apply to the on hand task, but later in your adult life that tidbit is present and needed. You rain those seeds. IF you go to an 'only pros forum' i can understand that but to stop what you are doing? No. I take notes. I mark info in various ways. I replay. I rewind. Most of us do. You, will continue to grow, your trajectory, is. The bummer would be others that simply want to tell you, you are wrong, they are right. That, is the 'mama Lynda' in me that wants you not ruined by 'Joe Public/trolls/argue-ers'. *DING! *DING! DING!*
Do, what makes you, Alex, HaPpY within your journey. Say 'no', when needed, with 'yes' always ready. Your health struggles eat time...i know from similar experiences...so, do not stress yourself out. That is all i am trying to say. oops. 🤪 🤣✌🏼
Hey Alex! Just wondering. Have you ever tried a saltwater/reef tank? Would like to watch a video about that topic from you. A natural lowspec maybe no water change saltwater tank ideas.
I have not kept warm water Reef tanks actually... I'm open to trying it, but I'm by no means we'll educated on the care of saltwater tanks or organisms... so if I try it, you would all be learning right alongside me for the first time. But I would like to try it someday
@@Fishtory would love to see a deep substrate saltwater composition from you
This is a great source list; I realized I'm using a couple of them when I suspect the trade info on sale sites. 👍
Good idea
In addition to several of the sites that you mentioned , I use Scotcat, Goodeidworkinggroup, Cichlidae. The latter is run by Juan Miguel Artigas Azas and can be accessed for free upon joining the American Cichlid Association.
Great sites! Also anything by Paul Louiselle
Hi Alex, thank you for another great bundle of information!
You got it!
Awesome stuff man, you are my resource base & let the deep dives begin!
Haha right on... well you have a decade or more of info to dig through now
Father Fish, he is a living encyclopaedia when it comes to fish keeping. Don’t get me wrong I also enjoy your CZcams Channel
For sure. Lous is a great general resource for all things planted deep sand :)
No late night streams anymore ???
I still do the 1030pm on Mondays but the super late night ones are just random
Ahh ok i barely get on youtube anymore , hopefully i catch ya one night !!!
Maybe not the type of resources you're thinking of, but some useful tools nonetheless... for tank stocking advice: aqadvisor.com/
And for tank volume calculators: www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/construction/tank.php
or www.calculator.net/volume-calculator.html
Those are great. Thank you
Alex I like American Aquarium Products for information .....don't you?
Yes indeed... harder and harder to find anything literally made here as well
Great video again mate. Personally I use aquasabi/ Tom Barr forums. Keep up the great work mate.👍👍👍👍
Glad to hear we are one the same page heehe.
The algorithm feels strong with this one!
Hehe I don't think so, but it seems people who are enjoying it, have been alerted. So I'm happy :) thanks for commenting
I feel like ur making some of theses vids know my situation. Some questions I can't really find a good answer on something but yet you always have a video on it and if not some how you'll post one tomorrow
Haha well that's great then! Glad they're of some use!
Just checked out aquasabi, do they sell shrimp ?
I believe in Europe they do
🙂
Gday!
yeet!
