when i serched fro the worms in my local pondi found a baby turtle eating them🐢
That is so cool!
I caught a baby snapping turtle in the same place last Summer. I am not sure what the baby was after - there are so many insects...and worms to choose from.
@@4me noice
You're a star Michael, great content. If one of your aquariums didn't require water top off's due to no evaporation, would you do a small water change? Just curious as one of mine doesn't. 🍀
Thank you very much!
I would not do any water changes in an aquarium where everything looks good.
Water changing is an extreme measure I would do in a troubled aquarium when every other options fail to fix whatever problem there could. I may as well simply reset the whole aquarium if it comes to emergency like that. It never happened yet. Though, I do have a couple spare aquariums standing ready without fish.
@@4me thanks for the reply. Everything is always stable, and healthy in my aquariums, one requires top off's the other doesn't. I only test ph and nitrate (with the inaccurate test strips) and they're identical. I've found over the years the less you intervene, the better the aquarium does, l treat them as indoor ponds. Cheers 🍻
@@kevinpowell7948 The less intervene the better - you got it right!
All the best on your adventure!!
Do freshwater mussels eat zooplanktons like works and daphnia etc...
I never had mussels to tell you for sure. Though, mussels filter water and it would reasonable to assume that organic that gets sucked in would be digested.
How do you differentiate good worms from harmful ones?
I use iNaturalist app to identify all unknown to me species. Here is the video about it: czcams.com/video/9Pk3yDkAjNI/video.html
As for the worms...Blackworms have very specific behavior that helps to identify them easily.
Do black worms turn into anything
No.
Do you know if black worms can reproduce too much in a tank?
Humans are the only one known species among all in this world that can actually over populated giving them space.
All other species do not overpopulate even if they reproduce on much faster rate. The population density goes up to the maximum and then down and repeats in this way as it's self-regulates. So, don't worry about to much of worms, or snails or fish in your tank - it's always self-regulates based on provided space and food.
@@4mewell guppies kribensis and many other fish can definitely overpopulate without predators to eat them. They'll overpopulated and become dwarfed and unhealthy or they'll pollute the tank
How true! ✌️
3:45 какая зеленая вода! Как Вы такого достигаете? Чем кормите?
It's a very small nursery with snails, seed shrimp, scuds and some aquatic plants. A natural light and a small excess of nutrition (a bit more than they can consume in one feeding) is all it takes to boost common algae growth. Basically, I add just one pinch of fish food flakes once a week or so to keep algae growing faster than it can be consumed. I add a bit more food any time water gets lighter.
PS: hope you don't mind my answers in English - I type faster in English than in Russian.
8:15 как черви могут выжить в банке без грунта, где им негде спрятаться от рыб?
I have medium size gravel in all my aquariums with fish. Gravel works really well in long term for all critters as hiding place and specially for blackworms enforcing fragmentation.
