Experienced fishkeeper here. Just some things that I noticed from this video and wanted to touch on for you and anyone else watching Jon.
First, nitrite is toxic to fish, but less concerning than ammonia. The nitrogen cycles goes like this: fish poops ammonia> bacteria turns ammonia into nitrite> bacteria turns nitrite into nitrAte> you remove nitrate from aquarium with a water change, or plants use it for growth. Both ammonia and nitrite are fairly toxic to fish, so before you have the bacteria to process them they will be problematic for the fishes health. Doing more frequent water changes is important during this stage.
Second: that grass (dwarf hairgrass I believe) is not going to flourish on that driftwood, or probably in your tank at all. It needs lots of light and generally requires soil under the gravel/root tabs/ CO2. Regardless, you have better chances with it planted in the gravel because it spreads through runners in the gravel. I wouldn’t recommend it regardless. If I had your setup and experience I would put in valisneria or elodea anachris instead.
Third: if you are siphoning water you shouldn’t have to constantly pump it. Make sure the tube is empty then put the siphon head in the water. Keep the squeezy end lower than the tank in the bucket, give it a couple of squeezes and it should flow on its own until you take the siphon end out of the water.
Well said
This needs more likes. I’m also an avid fish keeper as well
i siphoned and let the water flow'about 20% for a weekly water change.. johnny should teach Kayleigh to do water changes so she can do this when he is away on a fishing trip. Never used a pump
well said you’re supposed to cut the tube and place the pump in between the too peces of tube --
This guy knows the wei
one thing I noticed about Jon which I appreciate, is that over the years he has been more and more receptive to suggestions made by his community! awesome guy all around and dope video :P
Nitrite is a good sign! It means your water cycle is starting. The ammonia is what will kill them. I would encourage you to watch some videos on water quality, perhaps by Aquarium Coop. This beginning cycling time is very dangerous for fish, bass are tough - but ammonia spikes will kill them fast. Don't be afraid to add tons more plants, it will help consume the waste the fish produce. Also, if you know anyone around you that can give you some filter media (gunky water/sponges) it will help in making your tank cycle complete even faster. When you start getting nitrate levels that means the water will be much safer for the bass. Good luck bud!
If you do get a spike in ammonia, treat with Seachem Prime to keep the ammonia at bay. This isn’t a long-term solution, but I found it very helpful when I tried a fish-in cycle as a beginning aquarium keeper and it helped save most of my fish when I experienced an ammonia spike.
nice comment!
@@minnecagocards4273 fritz aquatics fritz Zyme is also another fantastic aquarium starter
Nitrite is a bad sign if you have live fish in there already. Nitrate is the better sign since that's the final process (which he said he has nitrates).
Should cycle thanks without fish or at least without those fish. Nitrite will also kill them as can too high nitrate (that's why we do water changes on cycled tanks).
Yeah I would definitely agree
I raised a baby 2” bass in a 75 gallon aquarium for 3 years. At the end of year 3 it was 14” long. I then released him into my neighborhood pond. From the time it was 6” and up it’s main diet was fish scraps from the fish I caught and cleaned that week and he loved eating out of my hand. His favorite was ccrappie chunks lol I wish I had a huge aquarium so I could have had room to keep him until he was full grown. It was awesome taking care of him!
As an avid angler and fish keeper, I appreciate how you are really trying to take proper care of your fish tank. Can't say the same for many other fishing YT channels guys who try to keep fish. Some of the stuff you're doing is a little over kill though. Especially for strong bass. No need to really match the water temp for your new water before adding it. It's only 20% and like you said, bass are resilient and they won't go into shock. Great job though.
KEEP that sponge bob thing IN YOUR TANK that little bit of humor was cool & liked seeing Lucky in the pet shop !
You can use cotton thread from a sewing kit to anchor your plants. You should also add some hiding spots for them. Clay pots are a great solution. You can break them up and make them look better.
Cyanoacrylate super glue can be used in an aquarium once it is dry. It drys inert and will not affect the fish or water parameters. You can use that to glue your plants to the wood or rock that don’t require you to plant them in the gravel/substrate. I use the gorilla glue gel with the green cap.
I love how much research you put in this. So many people don't put in the research. I think you started on a good note. Bass are hardy fish and so fun to have in tanks.
Jon! Wanted to let you know that if you pump the siphon one or two times, it will start the flow and you don’t gotta pump anymore!
Predatory fish tend to be fairly inquisitive because that's how they make a living in the wild. Having live plants will help control water quality by consuming fish waste. Get a shot glass and half fill it with water from the tank then add your shrimp/worm cube. The block will defrost and you can pour it into the tank. Leaving the frozen cube drifting around is fine as they will learn to pick at it as it defrosts. Those sheds in your yard would make excellent fish rooms for breeding your own baitfish and stocking fish. Add a small catfish such as some corydoras to your tank for a cleaning crew.
I've always found that watching young fish like these eat is just so interesting, and it gives you a lot of insight on how these fish work in the wild. Always happy to see another great viddy from ya, and I look forward to more vids on your pond, as well as these little guys. Keep it up.
Much love for coming to san Antonio. I was so close to going downtown the day you were here!!!! Next time! Cant wait to watch the banger
Awesome video. And what an awesome job your doing raising them small bass.. Can't wait to see how big they get. Keep up the good work buddy
I’ve imprisoned many bass and cichlids. All I have to say is that I literally never change my water ever. I only add water when it gets low. If you have a filter that matches your tank size you’re in business. Live plants also really help. If I have live plants I don’t even run a filter at all I just keep the water moving around. And all plants work.. even bamboo or other plants growing on the surface with the roots in the water
my boss did the same years ago; he had the most colorful agassis and krybensis fish !
This was really interesting, looking forward to continued updates!
I would very much look forward to a weekly bass factory update!
ME TOO !!!
Get a fluval/aquaclear filter for a 50 gallon tank. The slight over filtration will allow you to cut down on stressful water changes
@@eric_schaaf when you do a water change, you can’t match exact temperature/ph of the new water to the existing tank water. This sudden change can stress fish: I didn’t say don’t do water changes, I sad if you over filter slightly it allows you to do it less often which equals happy fish
Jon B after you move these bass you should add more small ones back into the current tank and keep the bass growth factory going.
the wife will need to be involved in learning this stuff as he goes on fishing trips ans camp claw for his viewers
If you have any house plants or outside plants they love this kind of water.. Love ALL the content you put out.. truly an original.. look forward to new vids and can't wait to see the precocious buddle of pink! Peace & Love 2 you 3 from, Lori in Northern Calif.
Thanks for that very interesting look at your set up. Good luck and keep us posted!
Nice video Jon and great way to learn more about the bass! Great work!
You should get them frozen grass shrimp it like the freshwater version of krill. Especially since bass at this stage are more likely to find grass shrimp in their natural environment instead of krill.
Get some seachem stability to help establish your filter with the beneficial bacteria it needs. It’ll turn that nitrite into nitrate super fast and you’ll remove that with water changes. Just dump a cap or two into the filter every day for a week and your tank will be seeded with the proper bacteria👌🏼
As a fishkeeper I love that Jon made the tank more natural. My only 2 suggestions is watch some MD fish tanks or Serpa Design to get some cool ideas on how to improve it even more. Also the easiest way to handle your nitrates nitrites ammonia etc, just do a fat 50% water change... remember to dechlorinate tho
I didn’t realize how colorful baby bass were. Cool!
as a peacock bass owner i love it! feeding them frozen foods while doing live ever so often sort of as a treat is a great way. Plus nothing is better than a good pellet once they’re older
Slap some lime in your pond. Its a two part powder where it turns to a goo and they use it on leaky ponds. Look into it and maybe give it a shot. Also speaking about resilient bass. Flair had that mini pond that he couldn’t find that bass until after We had that huge freeze in the Midwest. The bass survived without being fed by flair and a huge layer of ice on top. Good luck
Jon, you can get a special plant and fish safe glue to attach your plants to the driftwood. Petco will have it.
Gorilla glue gel is safe and works great.
John, if you have mosquitos right now... just lay an open container of water out and wait for the larvae to show up in the water. Feed those alive to the bass. They love em.
Can’t wait to see how big the fish get. Keep up the good vids.
What I would recommend is daphnias bc 1) they are good for juvi fishes 2) high in protein and 3) they reproduce very quickly but takes time to get a good healthy culture and unlimited food for baby fishes.
Nice start you should add more live plants,it helps filter out toxins also. I have a 60 gallon with a perch,rockbass,bluegill and a goby that i caught micro fishing 2 years ago and sice i heavily planted it is way more low maintenance.
I've done all this before in Orange County California, the bass and bluegill and catfish came from ponds at Mile Square park back in the 70's when I was in High School!
Hey Jon, what I do with the brine shrimp is get a cup and fill the tank water, put the frozen cube of shrimp and swish is around until it’s fully thawed out. That way they still feed them off the top as they are used to :)
I also pour the cup in portions so you can control the feed and not just have all the food sink to the bottom and not end up getting ate. Pour some, let them eat, pour more ! Sweet
I’m proud of you Jon, you have stepped up as a father😂😂
Hopefully when they put grow that tank they can go back into a new deeper pond with nice things inside. Or into the googan store fish tank that would be cool. But good luck fishing
I kept fish in a 6ftx2ftx2ft tank and the best thing to help water quality in my opinion is to have external water filters. I had fluvial 404 canister filters. Also you can fit a water spray bar on it as well. More filtration the better. It worked for me.
Very relaxing video. Looking forward to watching them grow up into some Tanks
I would recommend getting the “python fish tank cleaner”. I have a pet base of my own and it makes the water change process a breeze! You hook it up to the sink and it automatically sucks the water out of the tank and back into the sink. Try it out!
Super cool. My dad built a 8x8 outdoor fish tank when I was little out of cement and bricks and when we went fishing he would bring back bass and catfish and all he had was a bubbler fountain in the middle and they did fine. Brought back some cool memories.
for my turtles, I have a pump like the one you had, but one end attaches to a sink so it is constantly sucking up water, it's much easier and I would recommend it. it also can push out water if you want to refill the tank quickly.
Jon b thanks for the tips, I have a few little bass of my life own and I wasn’t to sure on what to feed them and this ga e me a good idea.
Looking forward to this series! Well played Sir!
Awesome love the updates! Me and my dad what your videos every night! Good luck on the bass🎣🦆
To help the plants stay down on the wood. You can actually use a dab of superglue. And for the nitrite. Just do like a 50 percent water change every other day until it goes down. Bc nitrite is really deadly. Hope this helps and keep up the work.
Awesome job man. Love your videos. Make sure they have a big tank ready to go soon tho
How's it going John B. 🤘🏽💀🤘🏽 Glad to see a Baby Bass Update 🤙🏽
@11:00 I thought Jon had pulled out a personal toy for a second if you know what i mean😂😂😂
It's great that Jon is doing souch to help the bass in his backyard.
Also we all know the best diet for a bass consists of VARIETY
Yeah the brine shrimp is what I feed my cichlids. Very good, & they love it
The tank is looking great!!
love to see you are actually doing your homework. Also live plants help a ton!
Was just thinking about your vids after not watching for a little while and I got a notification right after!
If the plants come off the wood you can actually super glue them to it. completely safe as long as apply and let dry out of the water.
Love Jon B!!! One of my favorite channels!!
I love all of the pond/pet bass videos!
I'd suggest you get any type of floating plant like duckweed or salvinia to help suck up all those nutrients from the water and overall improve the water quality. It'll also provide cover for the bass if they ever want to hide away from the light and chill in the shade for a bit.
Awesome save, fun temp hobby...keep it coming, I'm interested in watching these babies grow! :-)
The slow mo feeding was awesome by the way
interesting vid. Jon, your mom was right. I used to raise some african cichlids and mixed 'em with pumpkin-seed and some central american cichlids. their favorite frozen/dried food was frozen krill. bass, like seed and the african ciclids, are very adaptable and did well in acidic water conditions, although some africans liked alkaline - -they did acclimate . Keep teaching and sharing Jon. 😌 👍🏾👍🏾
btw, I alwsys kept a silver or black Arowana and they LOVED live worms. the other fish never bothered them
"It has been a week and a few days " It's been 4 weeks 🤣🤣
well depends on when he filmed this
Be very grateful that those Bass you have are small enough to be trained to eat store food. My kids and I tried keeping a 7" Bass and it was a royal PITA to feed. It would only eat live foods.
Looking forward to see them grow into big’ uns!
When you are cleaning the rocks with the tube thing you should push it all the way to the bottom of the tank because some sediment sinks further down into the rocks. You can smooth the rocks back out after.
Melt the cubes in a cup of water and slowly pour into tank. That will cut down on waste and help keep ammonia in check
Sea-chem products for water quality is top notch. Thaw your frozen food in a cup of tank water before feeding. Mysis shrimp is small and a great high protein snack.
I have raised tiny baby bass as well I have found that they love to eat worms so just get a smaller worm u can rip it in half or take a tiny piece of the end and they absolutely love it I would definitely suggest tiny worm pieces!
The mysterious and rare sighting of the feeding baby Bass 😂😂😂 ok I think we went a little far on that one Jon 👊😜😂😅🎣💯🤙
You can also use gel super glue to anchor things in the aquarium. It is safe for fish and vegetation.
Keep an eye on their size in relation to each other, I did this once and had one that grew larger/faster than the others and she ended up eating all the others one day while I was at work. They all had plenty of food and ate well but she grew a lot faster.
I truly appreciate your content. You’re an amazing fisherman. I’m impressed at your dedication and passion for never losing sight of that sport. You are also an incredible nephew!!!!🦋🌸🦋
what a cooooooool comment !!!
Get them on floating cichlid pellets. That way when they go in a pond again they will eat floating food pellets which will get other bass doing the same. Having them in a tank this small helps long term on getting them to eat pellet food.
I love these videos keep up the good work Jon!
Good start but I would recommend a fast growing plant like hornwort it really is a great plant the doesn’t need much but does do a lot and to get those plants you already have stuck to the wood you can use some superglue
NIce Project, tank looks real good.
for nitrite put duckweed in! a lot of ppl hate it but it rlly helps with nitrite and is easy to grow! also i’d look up some easy to grow aquarium plants just in general like java moss and java fern or maybe some jungle val. soon enough you’ll be down the hole of aquascape XD
The tannins from the driftwood is great for fish!
The tank is looking great so far, you should add more soil or substrate and add more cool planted aquatic plants and after the bass grow up you can use the tank for other fish
you don't have to worry to much about cold water bass are hardy af. I put the garden hose straight in the 250gal tank and have been for 4 years and she don't seem to mind it. I don't heat the tank as well to keep it as natural as possible to extend her life. I feed mine cichlid gold and krill once in a while.
Heeeeyyyy JonB make sure to keep top on and Closed. They will jump out and you will find a dried out LMB on the floor. This is 100% from experience.. Great job on everything man...
I recently brought a bass home. Bigger than the ones you’ve got but non the less it’s still super fricken awesome to watch them eat every single day
Awesome Job,now don't forget to also get plant food. You should add a carpet of Staurogyne Repens
I just got into cichlids and one is currently with a mouthful of fry. Super interesting stuff. Have you named them yet ?
The baby bass! I loved the last tank video!
Awesome video do as many as you want ill watch every one
One of the most used tools in my fish room is a 20" long 1" wide clear rigid plastic tube. Cover one end with your finger and use the suction as the fingers removed to suck up everything from newly hatched fish to plant and fish waste. Most fish will lose fear of the tube quickly
It can be used for feeding but this makes using it without being harassed for food unlikely
It's minimally invasive compared to the dreaded net and can be cleaned easily.
Also CrazyGlue is aquarium safe and is great for securing epiphyte type plants to structures.
This is the first video I've actually got a notification for in months normally I have to check and then binge them lol
There are a couple different kinds of plants. Some grow on wood, some in the ground, some in the water column. I do quite a bit with aquatic plants. Feel free to reach out if you want more info. The pH value isn’t really a big deal. It’s a rapid change in pH that will harm the fish. But that’s rare in a stable tank. Driftwood normally leeches for a couple weeks as well. So you’ll see the water get brown. Not detrimental to the fish at all though.
I love your channel and have been watching since a while on my other account, I think you should get into aquascaping and planted aquariums, they are amazing to look at and and fish love them and you can fill aquariums full of plants and the plants look amazing as well and give the fish more oxygen and a more natural look
I had fish and used to feed them those frozen brine shrimp and I think it said to defrost the cube first with a tiny bit of warm water. Like, just get a little container and put the cube in, add a little warm water and just swish it around until it has melted all the way. And then dump it in the tank
You can superglue the plants to the driftwood to hold them in place. It's non-toxic to the fish
Nice tank. A weighted screen top is also a bit better than a closed top. 👍
It does help to thaw the frozen cubes. I put them in a little water and then microwave it for like 30 seconds then dump it in the tank
Well done on saving the fish👏👏
Keep an eye on the Ph when adding in love plants
Hahah you’re wild Jon I love fishing but you’re out with pet bass, love it
What about some live nightcrawlers? Like ya use to fish with? I don't raise any fish but just a thought. Love the content man and can't wait to watch these dudes grow up! Keep on keeping on fella! ✌️♥️😁
As far as ph balance I herd that keeping your tap water consistent is best. Don’t try to to get it to where you want it just let it be where it is
Always a good vid when the ween makes an appearance
