  • @anthovidal
    @anthovidal Před 3 lety +4

    You should use mini silicone ice cube trays to freeze the food to make portion sizes and removal easier. Works like a charm. You can even bag them once they are frozen to open up the tray for more prep.

    Nick Sir,
    Just a few suggestions
    1. When you're trying to put the diy food into the ziplock bag you should rollover the opening outwards so its more rigid and can easily put the food into it & also avoiding it getting into the seals by accident.
    2. It's always best to date the foods when its made on the bag so you can keep a proper track and feed it accordingly. This way the older batches can be used first..
    3. Imo using mussels can be an issue due to the rubbery texture of the meat and could be a choking hazard for small fishes.. If you can get krill meal that can be perfect replacement...
    4.. Try and get a small folding table so you can work on proper level instead of putting things on the floor.
    Becz 1. You will potentially but bacteria, pathogens etc from the floor into your tanks and on the fishfood, bags, also fishes if they fall or jump out like the case of pleco male mishap etc. Secondly your knees & back will thank you later as that constantly crouching can lead to issues later onwards as you age.
    Sir I'm interested in learning more on your water filtration system. Can you share a link for it or explain more on it in separate video ?
    All the best mate. Cheers👍

    In my ancient history when i was 12 my mother decided to feed my fish the red worm that she collected from the top of a local dam. It was ok but i remember the buckets in the laundry were not leaving much room for 6 of us getting our washing done. Anyhow what she did was she strained them over and over treated the water with a bit of salt then a solution of some sort and then after many rinses she would freeze it. The fish loved it, the planted tank had the kissing gourami, angels, black molly, red swordtails, guppy, a massive common pleco and corycats. Back then they didnt tell you how big fish get...back then im refering to the 70s, they just didnt provide info at the shop on how to look after the fish so we had to rely on reading books and making freinds with people in the know. Anyhow love the videos, my big tank not set up as yet (170 ltr) but i have a little 50 litre tank that has a lonely old white cloud, the only survivor in the tank after a sad mishap with whitespot medicine. Your videos are informative so im watching for info. Keep going awesome job.

    Small quality of life tips for the process.
    When filling the ziplock bags, you can fold over/invert the opening of it before filling so the food doesn't get stuck in the ziplock part of it by mistake, then revert it back before you close it.
    Before freezing, you can sort of make line marks with a ruler or any straight edge (right before closing the freezer door) so that it freezes with easily breakable chunks. For this part, you may want to freeze initially on a single layer, then stack after frozen.

    • @Kobalt2772
      @Kobalt2772 Před 2 lety +1

      I cannot answer for them but I can answer as a fish breeder. I breed shell dwellers and I have about 170 of them now. It took me about a year to get the fish to be super happy and breeding super well. My caudopunctatus pair is in a 20 long and they have been doing super well there and have kept multiple generations alive without going slaughter mode. In the 10 gal they started in they did not breed well and often killed their fry until they were moved and it then took about 3 months for them adjust and be happy with their new home. My multis live in a 10gal and bred without an issue. I live in the Chicago area so my water is rather hard and seems to suit them well. My biggest reccomendation if you plan on breeding fish is to breed fish that will naturally do well in your waters. For me thats shell dwellers and certain apistos. Swordtails haven't been too bad either. For you your water may be harder or softer. More acid or more alkaline. Find what works well in your area and look into it.

    @thedamnedatheist Před 3 lety

    I use a flake food from Melbourne for my tanks. My Africans, Angels, Rams & bristle noses all love it. It's made there, fairly high protein level & inexpensive compared with off the shelf. I won't give the name unless you are cool with having it in your comments. I'd substitute crickets or worms for the beefheart as it is closer to the natural diet & easier to digest, and think of having a tank each of mollies & platies, they always sell well, though they aren't worth much individually.

      ​@@KeepingFishSimple Happy to hear man but even if you didn't... the dad flicked one out when he fell into the tub. Its not like you poured the cave wrong. If the fry had died it would have been so natural because of how busy and all over the place you are as a guy that owns such a facility. Mistakes happen with one tank, imagine with as many as yours. No one is perfect. Keep up the insane work and keep inspiring man. Im 19 and my goal is to have a facility like yours at the youngest age i can. This is why im concentrating on uni to get a good job in the future to have a house that has enough space for a propper fish room. All from your inspiration so thank you infinitly.

    Any time you change the diet of any animal under the sun, it is good husbandry to only feed the new food for about 30% of their diet for the first week, then move up to 60% for at least 4 days before switching to 100% new food.

    Hope you take this comment in the manner it is intended - I do not mean to cause offence.
    You might want to have a look at the instructions that came with your food processor. It will perform two functions, slicing/grating or chopping. Chopping is performed by the blades at the bottom of the bowl and is ideal for soft ingredients like beef heart, fish, spinach etc. The slicing and grating is performed by the blade at the top but it will only work on relatively firm material, carrots, cheese, cucumbers etc. If you try putting softer material like beef heart, mussels etc down the shute they just end up slipping between the grater plate an the top of the bowl. You should only be using either the chopping blades at the bottom or the slicing/grating plate at the top, never both together, that's why you ended up in such a mess and it took you forever to mix it. If you have used just the chopping blade you would have got it all done within a minute or two.
