    Let me know if you like this style of video. Really ripped it back for this one and did it 'home made'.

      Maybe add another 4 minutes of feeding and showing a few clips of your current fry. Bring the video length up to 8 minutes, then you can put an advertisement in. Ad revenue is a big part of income for a channel your size.

    Living up to your channel name! Perfect style of video for people to discover fish keeping tricks/tips. "Simple" How To's - keep them short and to the point and I think they would make a great series for your channel.

    Great method. We are not only cleaning our filter, but reusing it as good for fry.
    What i've seen aswell is keeping different buckets, with diferent ph and conditions, so they will develop different lifeforms, increasing the biodiversity of the food.

  • @AlwaysMeForeva
    @AlwaysMeForeva Před 10 měsíci +5

    Holy crap. I never knew it was this easy to get infusoria. I could have fed my fish fry using dirty filter water all this time but i just throw them out. Heck, I could have use that when setting up new tanks. Wow. Thanks for sharing

  • @acquiredtastefrankiestyne996

    I really like how your straight to the point ... really enjoy your videos. Thanks for all the insight and tips. You da man 👍

  • @darylgregg
    @darylgregg Před 9 měsíci +5

    Was a little skeptical but keen to check this out. Cleaned out a canister filter today on my Blackwater tank.
    First clue that it may be full of infusoria was the big gold laser Cory fry that was living in it.
    Put the water and filth in a bucket and let it settle for a cpl of hours. Pipetted some water off the top and was about 10x as thick with infusoria as I get from the standard methods of making it.
    Thanks for the genius tip. Currently have some very happy dwarf neon rainbow fry :)

  • @garageaquatics2023
    @garageaquatics2023 Před 10 měsíci

    That is absolutely brilliant, Nick. I think I may have been doing something like that all along without even realizing it. I recently set up two tanks for Kribensis juveniles and in doing so, I put a sponge filter into each that had been sitting and working in tanks that the Kribensis had come from. I filled the tanks about half full with water from the Kribensis' original tanks as well. I figured it's already seasoned. But then I ended up taking the sponges from the hang on back filters and squeezed them into the tanks just to add what I thought would be more beneficial bacteria just to kickstart the tanks a bit quicker. I never even thought about the "edible" microbes I was introducing! I always love it when someone can make sense, and put into perspective things that we take for granted. Good on ya, mate!

    Game changer! I had problems breeding Paracheirodon axelrodi for so long as I was not able to feed the fry properly. With this method it worked (although its only 7 which survived..).

    mate, great vid as usual!
    accidentally bumbled onto this cycling new filters . after a few hours in a small container using a small foam filter, the water cleared and noticed beasties were buzzing about, so threw in some soaked yeast, and bingo. its the easiest fastest no cost method ever. water from the same tank, filter goop, yeast = beastie s by the billions. other blokes online showing your method now! well done.

    What I did resulted in much more consistensy. I bought a paramecium culture online. Boiled some wheat berries, put them in with some newly. dechlorinated tap water, and added paramecium to a deli cup. Repeat every 10-14 days to make sure your culture doesn't crash. I always have infusoria, can see it, and can always get it without all the extra gunk!

    Question. If you have already have an established sponge filter in the tank that you put the new fry into can the fry eat directly off that sponge filter or should you do this pulling off of a more populated aquarium sponge. Thanks

    Definitely a better option than grabbing some pond water or leaving some grass/moss to ferment in water. I tried those directions before and ended up with a million hydra. Luckily adult gourami will eat those up in a day :)
    This is a great alternative.

      @cannibalholiday Před 10 měsíci

      @@elijahelkins3264 they are tiny creatures related to jellyfish, that have a little stalk on a foot and a bunch of waving arms with nematocysts on them. So when fish fry touch them they sting them and immobilize or kill them. If they invade a tank there's a few types of fish that will clean them out and gouramis are one. Just do a search for 'freshwater hydra' on here to get an idea of what they look like.
