I’m in 🇬🇧 the U.K.. I’m personally disappointed and people might say it’s none of my business. This election will affect the world and I’m worried so it is my business. Trump is a self serving scoundrel irrespective of his promises. I have to congratulate him on an excellent campaign helped in no small way by Elon Musk who bought Twitter and used it as a platform to peddle the most outrageous nonsense on his behalf and turned it into a cesspool of lies sophistry and disinformation, not to mention a medium for videos of the most disturbing nature. I worry for Ukraine and Trump’s pandering to Russia which may give Putin the green light for further “acquisitions”. Apart from that mustn’t grumble as we say in England.

French living in Belgium here: Trump's victory is very sad news, especially with regard to environmental issues and the rights of women and minorities.

Im not happy. Trump is a phony. We need another bernie type. Im from florida, usa. I want out of here. West coast sounds wonderful.

I really hope this takes off for you! Everything is better when done on the local level if you ask me. I love my local LFS but I get the best of the best from my club and other hobbiests. I can actually ask and learn the age of the fish I am buying from the breeder. That's awesome!

I hate how my parties best candidates were run off from the party, and we were forced fed shit and told it was honey.

Bend here. Just recently started building out my van on the channel. The unifying term I use for us is "nomads". That kinda covers RVers, van lifers, car campers, travelers, etc. Meetups are cool... I'm heading down to Quartzsite for a couple weeks to checkout some nomad meetups this winter.

Thats a pretty cool idea! My brother lives in Eugene and we have friends in Gold Beach. OR is a beautiful state.

I live in Rogue River. Where are you?

Hey, i found your channel today as i wanted to cultivate for my tanks. The first thing i was drawn to was, this isn’t like other Aquarists channels! And please don’t take this the wrong way but i am sick to the back teeth of the polished clinical channels. All lovely and that but i guess im in to honesty and realism ☺️ And here it’s abundant. Looking forward to more “general life” content and your knowledge shared. Cheers 🇬🇧

Where do you sell your cultures?

Very interesting. Where can we find your plants, cuktures and livestock for sale?

Sounds interesting John

here in my country there's heavy fiscalization so people don't leave any stagnant water like this out, since the mosquitoes here cause a disease that kills thousands of people a year! (the mosquitoes spread chikungunya virus, causing dengue fever)

I definitely want to order some

Where can I order?

Nice, I noticed more channels are doing similar changes, I look forward to the new topics besides fish.

I just found your channel and am thoroughly enjoying it. Where do you sell things from? And I’m always up for other conversations.

I look forward to the new topics. I am so glad you said what you did about plants "getting their water leaves" 🤣

TH-cam needs a 3x speed option

i only want daphnia to feed one betta fish, so ig i'll get snails on the daphnia culture so they dont go crazy with growth bc my betta fish an only eat so much hahah

New subscriber here. Where do you sell these?

I was trying to go to your ebay page but it says user not found?

I have several grindal worm cultures but have never tried white worms.

Is that you John Malkovich?

Do you have seed shrimp in that tank?

I collected 2 large jars of pond water. Full of daphnia, scuds, snails and other small things i can't identify. Got these for my planted aquariums and want to know how to keep them alive thru the winter to feed my fish. Ive been told culturing daphnia is hard.. What do I do next?

Your videos are actually really helpful. I never thought about some of these micro aquatics needing sugars or soft calcium. Thanks, man.

Daphnia Magna eats algae or green water.......The water will become clear by Daphnia Magna

biggest changes i've seen in over thirty five years is 1. equipment is not made to last at all mostly junk, 2.we understand and are able to keep plants alive now, the south american cichlids packed into 55 gallon tanks thing is no more.3. the reinvention of the wheel,in mid 80's i read an article in an aquarium magazine where a guy put a 10 gallon with a couple inches of dirt in it under window in his sons room,he added a heater and grew vallisneria, again this 1985ish. its not a new idea and im sure he wasnt the first to do it. 4. petco and petsmart have wiped out just about all the mom and pop stores . 5. ther internet is awesome! do your research and order fish/supplies online,really cant be beat. 5. i used to be a fishdork,now im an aquarist? whatever...

Huh, who knew?

Nice!

I am enjoying this Daphnia series! Thank you 😊

I have a question not about white worm but micro worms, wouild shrimp eat them? Your culture of whiteworms is better than any I have had, I think I just don't keep up with regular feeding. I find micro worms and even better Walter worms easy.

What's the best way to transfer live food like this to an aquarium with fish? My plan at present is to have lots of dead leaves on the bottom and just swap them out every once in a while.

How do we purchase your daphnia?

When I was a kid (long ago), under gravel filters were claimed to be the absolute best kind of filter. Now one hardly sees them, and many aquariums don't even have a filter other than lots of plants. When I was a kid more people had bright blue gravel, plastic plants, and little pirate chest bubblers and other plastic kitsch. Now there appears to be increased emphasis on "natural" dirted aquariums with lots of live plants and often scuds and microfauna. Also there are lots more species that were totally unavailable decades ago, like stiphodon gobies and obscure Mexican wild type swordtails and more and more kinds of cichlids from African lakes.

The water with additives is the one I would've picked as being better for daphnia. I'd guess that the distilled water or any pure water (with no additives) would make osmoregulation difficult for daphnia and many other organisms.

Google “Daphnia Farm… enjoy” for an older post of mine. I too am enamored with Daphnia/Moina. I look forward to future videos on you experiments. Thanks

What exactly is a clay based substrate?

Could you please tell me your lights schedule for this aquarium?

Dang bro those shrimp ( even tho probably still reproducing) gotta have a miserable life. I'm no hippy or nothing i fish, hunt, have feeder shrimp, guppy, and convict chiclid (they reproduce with little to no effort) to feed certain fish in my 47 tank fish room to help get them ready to spawn. But i dunno if your unaware or don't care but scuds will attack female shrimp after realizing Fry or after molting their shell. .o have that many scuds in with a handful of shrimp is just not cool man. I'm no one to tell ANYONE how to do there hobby but if you like neo shrimp to buy a cheap 10g tank and raise the shrimp in it. Plus you'll have waaaay more bedding success that way. But you do you, just an opinion from a stranger lol. Good luck

I know this is an older video of yours. Just found your channel. Enjoyed this video. However, is co2 not just as harmful to fish as general fertilisers? I dont know that for a fact. Am speculating. Also, you mention not to use dry food. What do you feed your fish? Thanks edit you mention briefly about foods you culture yourself at the end

I don't know why this video popped into my page, but it made me laugh out loud when I watched it. Thumbs up

You also has a lots more plants in the snail tank. The plants absorbed the nutrients which leave less algae (green water) for Daphnia. The snail also occupy some bio load by producing waste. This will leave less room of bio load for Daphnia.

Mind-blowing collection of crypts ❤

Hello 😊 Such a neat way to water your plants and have some great food for your fish too! Do you find the shade to be a must in keeping the daphnia going?

What did come across?? Wow....I want to use these for growing, feeding my cannabis plants..Ever done that??? Especially the dirt

Do you put them in aquariums?

i’m 1:20 in and all i see is reflection. i also have no idea what dafnia is, a plant, a bug?
