Ask me why I think canister filters are overpriced bathroom trash cans! 🫠
Welcome to Unorthodox Aquatics 💕 Expand your fishkeeping horizons
What is Unorthodox Aquatics?? Many think there's a "right way" or "best way" to do fishkeeping. Well it's not true! There are so many ways you can do things from filtration and stocking to some awesome DIY projects!
When it comes to me, I like to experiment with my fishkeeping and it never stops. That's how I learn! I've learned good lessons and bad, and have made many mistakes and had many realizations and epiphanies along the way. So I'm here to share my experiences with you!
So come along and join me ony adventures, and open your mind to a little bit of Unorthodox Aquatics! 😃🐟
Happy fishkeeping!

So you know how I said I hated editing videos and decided to stream instead? Well it turns out setting up a livestream is a bigger headache LOL. So I'm coming back at you with videos "live style," which is basically me doing one long shot of whatever the hell my topic is. We shall see where that takes us! I am planning to upload within the next day or two; I've been up to a LOT with changing th...

Ok that's cool
So cool
With You 100% on that.
Ur beautiful
I've kept a series of Pumpkinseeds in my 90 gal out in my shop. I catch them in my small creek in NW WA state. They share the tank with other Pumpkins and an occasional cuttthroat trout, as well as a crayfish. I've found the small ones will eat dried bloodworms from the pet store and the adults like the Hikari brand top feeding predator pellets, though they will also happily eat goldfish. I keep my tank just above 60 F so I can have some algae eating snails to help with tank cleaning. Everything in the tank except the snails came from my creek; rocks logs, etc. I really enjoy having a mini version of my creek indoors and I like being able to show friends a slice of what lives in my creek.
this is the coolest video lol. this is my next project! 420 praise it lol
Do you need a water cooler or anything like that
Are you selling any
Can they breed with other bluegill spices?
How big is that snail
Your chunks of brick aren’t providing the smooth eddy currents trout need to hang out behind. They need laminar flow, not a washing machine. Also, you don’t have enough oxygen. They are tiny now, but they’ll be “mouthing” once they double in size.
So glad I found you :)
I want these I want to set up a Dwarf Snakehead tank would the go well with them ?
Where did you get the clams?
Ebay!!
Thanks
I might get some
@@Mr.Stringer19 okay, boringest thing ever LOL
For fishy
These are my favourite fish, but they were banned from the UK pet trade, and are no longer available for several years now,.
You can also grind eggshells that's what I do
Can you put other schooling fish in with the sorority?
Looks about right
Excellent video!
I’m on here trying to get mine together lol why I look u up. Thnks for the help. I couldn’t decide about the protein skimmer and the damn lid itself is hard to get on felt like I was gonnna break something but I see you struggled but went for it and it worked out lol
I will tell you right now these things are the biggest pieces of shit 😂 HOWEVER... I love the giant Bowl and that alone was worth it. The protein skimmer never worked and the filter pump crapped out right away, and it scratches super easily so just be careful when moving it around and cleaning it.
Youre so hot, is hard to focus lol
It always amazes me how cichlid-like the sunfishes are, even though they’re not closely related (convergent evolution). I’ve kept bluegill, green sunfish, and spotted sunfish, and they’re all so fascinating and beautiful. It’s a bit like having cool water cichlids, which to me makes them really interesting. They don’t get nearly enough attention, so thank you for covering this!
Indeed, I'd actually like to experiment with the seeds and cichlids, I might once my juvie convicts are bigger, probably with some seeds I'll trap this spring.
@@unorthodoxaquatics I was taught not to mix cichlids and centrarchids, and I think that’s generally a good idea. They’re similar enough to get into conflict, but different enough to misunderstand each other’s signals. Plus there’s the issue of different temperature requirements (temperate vs tropical). I think it’s usually better to enjoy them separately.
Two years ago a coworker gave me a bunch of free fish. A few cichlids, a large pleco and this tiny spotted catfish. I was so busy looking at the other fish. I totally forgot about the tiny catfish. I figured he’d get eaten up anyway. Today while cleaning my tank I saw this black tail and I thought “what the world is that?” So surprised the tiny spotted catfish lived and now I know its name. The Raphael spotted catfish! Thank you!
You’re adorable!
how do u feed them
How did u get them because i dont know were to buy them online
Ebay
Do they need aretor
Great video! We added a new girl to our sorority following your advice and everything is going fine. Thank you!
Omg he is so tiny! Myne is 8 inches. I bought him at 3.
This hatchling are living at 4 Seasons. Very good info. Thanks for saving them in Canada. They need your help.
What are you feeding them? I got some by mistake thinking i was getting microfish that eat anything.
Hikari micro pellets
Beta log water pouring life hack 👆
Swe, thanks for yhe tips!! I love your lip piercing btw.
I think it’s worth mentioning to anyone, watching this video that the bottom of this aquarium is made of plastic, which isn’t typical for aquariums in this price range, and his honestly lower quality than a glass bottom.
True, but I also love that it's a miniature bow front. I also convert terrariums by shimming them from the bottom and bracing the middle. Modern terrariums have thick glass and black silicone which I also love
Yeah but how do you START one? Nobody wants to do one on that.
I have one I did before this one
@@unorthodoxaquatics Can you link the vid plz? Thats info im going be need in a day or two. Thanks.
Looking good, I'm getting this tank
I have a thing for cool Nanos, unusual shapes lol
I'm new to fish tanks so I'm watching videos ^^ @@unorthodoxaquatics
Great video, lots of good advice, thanks
A thing that I would love if someone tries it for me🐸: keeping Guppy males in a tank with Betta females. No Betta males, and no Guppy females🦩Thus only Guppy males in a Betta surority🤡
Where are you ??? I hope all is well. I miss your videos 😥😥 😥😥😥Please come back soon. God Bless
All is fantastic, my dear, and thank you 🥰 to be honest, doing the videos made the hobby feel like an obligation, and I didn't like that 😔 Butcif you'd like, you can pm my Facebook, it's Ruby Danger 🙃
Where do they hide? Certainly not under your PLASTIC plants. Wow!
When i was moving my catfish from one tank to another i tried grabbing him and found out they protrude a spike. Damn it hurts!
Yep they'll get ya! All legit cats have them in the pectoral and dorsal fins. Baby bullheads are bad too. Small cats haven't learned how to control the release of venom so their stings are super painful. It may be a good idea to get a small rubberized net and just keep it handy if you keep many cats 🙃
Love your video please do more❤❤❤
Are you in my fb sorority group?
@@unorthodoxaquatics no
Well you may certainly join 😁 m.facebook.com/groups/745111739235282/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT
I checked & money had DOZENS of Fry. 😀 I wish I could post the short Video's here to show you or at least a picture. I've seperated most of them from the parent's 'just in case.😂
Send it in fb messenger!
Hello from 🇬🇧 . You asked if anyone has one bigger than 4 or 5 inches, i can assure you I do!!!! But enough about me & my privates. 😂 I put 2 of these in my dwarf cichlid aquarium & they kept chasing my other cichlids, usually I'd have taken them back to my LFS but I like them too much so I moved them to an aquarium on their own, I assume they were breediimg then as they are now & protecting their young. I've seen some fry but not seen any grow, I've not looked in the cave. I hope they are in there. If i do get any that grow, I will put pne back with my other Dwarfs as I want at least one of these in there because they are one of my favourites & they have a lovely colour. What are they like as parents? Do they eat their fry or look after them? Thanks.
What do you mean by dwarf cichlids?
@unorthodoxaquatics I thought you'd know the term Dwarf Cichlid. A certain type of Cichlid that doesn't grow more than 4 inches, although there are done that don't grow more than that that are not classed as Dwarf Cichlids.
Yes lol I'm aware of what they are, but do you mean other American cichlids? Some people call these and polar blue cichlids dwarf because they are smaller than typical parrots but they aren't even parrots at all. It doesn't really matter though if you left the fry alone in the tank with other fish but no parents, they're way long gone by now.
@unorthodoxaquatics I stated I moved them to an aquarium on their own, they kept breeding.
Oh, my apologies! I'm not sure which dwarves you have, but calmer ones will go after them if spotted, not to mention any fish that gets the urge to bite at something moving like possible food. I'm estimating the chances are slim unfortunately... Is the possibility unlikely? Yeah, but certainly not impossible. If they were only within a few days of separation they most likely would have expired due to lack of holding/spitting that helps them regulate their swim bladders when so young. Let me know how it turns out!!
Could be a male
Check your local regulations before buying.
He’s so pretty
are your bass sick? they are thin, and have not eaten the small fish yet...
In the spring I catch them and they are thin from fasting over winter and spawning
I have a couple of them in my tank and I want to breed mine what is a good temperature for them i have males and females how do i get mine to breed
Dude that's freaken awesome seeing them dig and do their thing 😁❤
