- Today we tackle three projects in the fishroom: 1. planting HUNDREDS of red mangrove propagule seed pods, 2. Planting a few dozen Azalea Spiderwood seeds, and 3. Making some DIY coconut aquarium planters. This was a really fun day with a TON of knowledge to share, so make sure to watch the entire thing!

Hey just discovered your channel. Love that you're doing a vid on red mangrove and a how to on them. I'm in the Philippines and I regularly collect them here. Fiddler crabs, mud skippers and shrimp fish are mostly what you see in the shallow area where the propagules root themselves. The trees shed their leaves and fall in the water making the sand in that location into mud. So I've found that the propagules dow very well in clay-like substrate.
Mangroves!! That's awesome 👍Following.
Very cool! I was excited to get some in MyAquariumBox this month.
Thanks for the shoutout! Paul and Chris did a great job getting those to you ! Awesome update!
For the coconut plants you did, I only have one suggestion/ potential idea for improvement. Drill a few additional holes toward the bottom to allow for water circulation. 2nd buy/Utilize Window screen from a home improvement store and super glue on the interior of the coconut to hold soil in-place and you'll very likely be more successful. My only concern is that the lake of aeration from water flow will cause unwanted rotting from a unwanted bacteria or algae. Just my thought. Great video though. Thank you.
Thank you for the information. The sharing of knowledge is so beneficial. All the best!
This is cool! I'm learning alot. I'm a tour guide in Brunei and we have a Mangrove forest here along our river and ive been trying to learn more and more on how the rhizophora species grow. Admittedly, there are other mangrove species growing in our mangrove forest but the red mangrove and the nipah mangrove are the dominant ones and where we can usually find our endemic proboscis monkeys. Thank you for providing educational videos, very helpful!
Awesome video 👊👍
Definitely get some mummichogs in there and maybe some mollies, mangroves will feed very heavily and will outcompete each other.
Fantastic video! Well done!!
I find mangroves very interesting I first learn about them on the Smithsonian video library and how the small fish and crabs and other sea life feed on them. They are very important to our marine life. Smithsonian did not say how they were planted. Thanks for the information. and I hope they grow very well for you.
Thank you for your help about Mangrove with Fungus
great advice. Take one, Plant one.
I tried to buy mangrove sprouts a couple hours ago for my red claw crabs but they sold out right then from the site I like!!! So funny that this came out at the same time
Lily A. Amazon has them very cheap
Great video, very useful informations
Thank you. Great video. Do you ever grow black or white mangrove seeds?
Amazing. Teach me to plant mangrove propagule in a swampy mud flat in the Niger Delta Rivers state Nigeria Africa
Just stick a bunch of them in the sand.
Fiddler crabs come out of their sand burrows at low tide and are out on the bare sand between the trees and propagules when the tide is out, so the best environment for them would be a flood and drain system, with at least an hour where the top of the sand is exposed. Just a suggestion for you. I subscribed. :)
I wish I could just go outside and collect them. They sell the pods here (Germany) for like 8€ (9,10$) a piece. Your bin would be so much worth over here, haha.
Very thorough! one question, do the mangroves need fertilizer? do you add some special food substrate to the sand?
Want to grow a mangrove and grow it as a regular plant. Don't want to mess with the aquarium set up.
How did the mangroves do?
Where can I make a bulk order? How long usally take to grow like inch to 6 inches?
Hey fishy folks!
Can they grow in freshwater as well as marine?
you can, the ones i kept in freshwater developed a magnesium or iron deficiency i believe, easier to dose/fertilize these in their own brackish tank
@@gregjonesonline I am trying to grow a few I received in MAB in my Tangnikan tanks
@@bencheeeeese that should work as long as the roots are protected and if the leaves turn yellow dose them
Thats a jungle
Can i get the aquariam box in uk..
Not currently, stay tuned to our facebook page in case that changes in the future
Mangroves.... look like alien plants to eat you... 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😜😜🇨🇭
Way too long
