Ep. 3 Igloo Tank (New Pair of Umbrella Cichlids and What I Feed Them)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- These fish are called Apistogramma borellii Opal (Umbrella Cichlid). They are still pretty young fish. For the first 10 days or so, the male lived in the igloo and the female lived behind the driftwood. They really didn’t like each other at all. Then after a while, they started to live in the igloo together a lot of the time, but not always.
I chose these guys b/c they are one of the very few apistos that can live in high PH. These guys can live in PH range of 5~8. That’s a huge range. My tap is usually around 7.2~ 7.4 so I don’t have to do anything special to the water when I do water changes.
The reason why I spot fed them is b/c I really wanted them to take regular fish food. If they don’t take regular fish food and get conditioned to frozen or live food in the beginning, it can be difficult to get them to take regular fish food. So for the first few days, I only spot fed them flakes and pellets. They didn’t take it for the first 2 days, and on the third day, they ate just a tiny bit. It only takes one fish eating for the other to follow. Spot feeding also wastes very little food so there’s less excess food in the tank.
These guys are so smart, as most cichlids are. I’ve kept many different kinds of cichlids in the past, but always skipped the dwarf ones. They come right up to the front glass as soon as I enter the room. They seem to be afraid of the camera. That’s why you see the black stress marks a lot in the video.

Ah yes...its been long time my friend. Now i will leave all that I am doing and watch this video. The world stops.
Thanks for being an inspiration.
Wonderful comment 🥰
@@briamel191 Foo deserved it for being an inspiration to many people in these troubled times.
@@IMaqua Love this channel and its audience 💜
For real, I just shut down for 5 minutes to watch this and then realized I was still at work.
@@MusicLover-vq3ol yes its much different than the rest of youtube. There is no over the top thumbnails, expensive equipment and unnecessary talk. I have been trying to create something similar and although i don't have much audience i like the people i attract. There is so much noise today in todays world.
Imagine if like a giant tube descended from the sky released a bunch of flying bit sized cheeseburgers for us to eat. Truly heaven
Dude that would be awesome
I was so suprised with the brine shrimp part. It looked like a shower
Sounds like a 21st century version of Bible event
Next time I see a falling star I won't be wishing for world peace.
The fish: A blessing from The Lord!
These videos never fail to cheer me up. They're like surprise ice cream.
So true.
I agree
I read 'surprise cream' at first. I was like what in the world...
"No stress color" - me when I watch this channel.
UNDER👏🏼RATED👏🏼COMMENT👏🏼
So true🤣🤣🤣
Same
👏👏👏
"no stress" - me when i watch this channel"
A Marimo Snowman!!! That is such an adorable idea
Ikr it made me audibly go 'd'aww'
412 likes.. *Noice*
anybody else just genuinely want to be one of this dude’s pet fish
yea
Yessss.. He builds the coziest habitats.
Nop.. Human being is a great thing.
@@Abdellah230 for you.
only if he doesnt put me in with his bettas lololol they're little monsters
Thank you so much for continuing to make these despite all the hurdles this platform throws at you.
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. They give me so much joy and peace!
Also, your camera quality is incredible!
Just curious what kind of hurdles an aquarium based channel might face? I could understand worrying about demonization for more controversial content...but this seems pretty chill? I dont have a channel so i genuinely am wondering.
@@JohnClam has to do with the music he uses, sometimes he gets copyright striked even though the music he uses is copyright free
@@fright635 oh okay, that makes sense. I'm sure its a pain to deal with.
@@fright635 This makes me so angry because I know once you've gotten that claim taken down you still make no fucking money off of it and he doesn't deserve to deal with this shit on a peaceful aquarium channel.
If it weren't for you I wouldn't have ever gotten into the hobby. I began with a 5gal no CO2, no ferts, dirted tank for a crown tail Betta I rescued from abuse. The tank was quickly overwhelmed by BGA and I moved over to a 10gal with a HOB filter. I can't thank you enough for the many hours of joy your videos have enabled me to have. ❤️
I was doing the final work of my university career and this is what I needed to rest and be able to continue with more strength. Never stop uploading videos!
All the best bud!!
@@rickbhai9829 Thank you so much!
When i graduated, Nobody was standing outside the class smoking and gawking at a smartphone, however they were all smoking and texting on their nokias...this was 2010. How strange to have college people with all that powerful technology, in just ten years.
@@JOSEPH-vs2gc So true, imagine in another 10 years!
Great Tatooine reference there, well done!
Loved the quick tatooine suns
Ah, i see you're a man of culture as well!
As a person who knows absolutely nothing about fish and don't plan on learning i LOVE this channel! Its so relaxing to watch
That’s how it starts
Keeping fish is a great hobby. He makes it look complicated but it’s not.
Awwwwww the two cichlids are so cute!!! They're so lucky to be taken care of by you!!
These are the most relaxing well made videos out there, thank you for your hard work and dedication
Love how Clair de Lune is in a lot of your vids but in different versions 😌
It’s one my favorite songs, so the experience is even more enjoyable ^^
Me - fast food.
These fish - fine dining.
With the igloo, the "snow" man, the various other "snow" balls, and the live brine shrimp, it really looked like an underwater winter wonderland!
The drip acclimation bottle is pure genius!
Was sent here by a cute detective.
Not disappointed.
Ame?
@@alwayscommenting56 Right you are, chum!
Thanks Watson
Hi
Arigathanks oshi
There is a lot of new channels using your content as inspiration, but you're the one I will stop everything, lay on my comfiest pillow and watch!
I love fish that stress stripe. Having a way to tell how they're feeling is very helpful
Instead of a mood ring, they're just mood fish 😍
Members keep winning ;))
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
I love this tank so far! The igloo, the marimo snowman, the apistos! Looking forward to seeing how it continues! Keep up the wonderful work :)
I look forward to seeing how the tank & it's inhabitants evolve!
That male cichlid should be called Elvis with those fins/hair 😆
Here I am, again, your loyal watcher. I only live to watch this like my grandma watch the rosary
That was quite the housewarming party.
I found your videos about 6 months ago. I have had a terrible year with one thing after the next. Watching these videos make my troubles disappear for a few minutes and relax me enough to remember what peace feels like. I thank you for my few minutes of peace a month
Waddup investigators!
yooooo
HIIII
Hello to you too kind sir
All your videos give me a sense of calm, peace and happiness. I leave my work for this always.
“thank you so much for watching.” no, thank YOU for the wonderful aquarium videos. they never disappoint. i love this channel with all my heart. ❤️
Now this is what being a member is all about
The fact that you can "hand" feed them is oddly cute. Thanks!
This setup reminds me of that one Pixar short where the snowman is trying to escape his snowglobe, with the Bobby Mcferrin soundtrack
hi teamates

This is a I love AmeliaWatson for attending to our our parasocial addiction moment
hi
Such pretty fishes!! Also, hello, teamates.

wow awesome, cant wait to see more of these two.
have you ever considered running a livestream cam of the tanks for a couple hours? lofi to chill to style
Ah, don't mind me. My boss just sending me some work to do
I came here as soon as I can from my history, marine class is where it is at!!!
TH-cam has a handful of genuine video streamers that stand out. You my friend are one of them
I needed this so bad today. Thanks for bringing my heart rate down
Got to watch this on my lunch break - made me less stressed. Thank you ❤️
Thank you for the update ❤️This video is so soothing. I like the way you treat the new fish 🐠
Only special people take such care with tiny things.
I have really severe anxiety and waking up to one of these videos helped me start the day off with the mindset of “it’s gonna be okay today”
These videos always help me to calm and center myself! Thank you so much!
Ah, friday! Time to smoke a joint and relax with some Foo the Flowerhorn! 🥰
They are so wonderful!🥰 You've given them the perfect home!
Seeing the fish from the front view was so adorable, they literally look like: ●‿●
I like the new tank setup, especially the driftwood tower. The new male has lovely coloring!
These videos make all my stress go away, I hope you’re doing well :)
I am sooo happy you're back. I missed you videos and now I want cichlids in my new tank hehe
That tank is looking a lot better than I
Thought it would keep it up!
When I saw the 2 moons:
Captain America "I understood that reference"
a tatooine tank if you will
Love ya man, always waiting for that upload. Never stop my friend.
i love how intelligent they are, how quickly they understood that the tube provides them food!
I've watched this channel for awhile and suggest this to anyone that suffers from anxiety bc it is so calming. Thank you for giving us these videos🥰
I've missed your videos, I hope your new home is lovely and the transition went well.
Those fish got quite a feast! I hope they are happy in their new home
Beautiful, as always.
These videos never fail to make me smile! Thank you so much for your hard work and passion you put in this!
I confess I didn't really like this tank in its earlier stages but now I do. It's a playful kind of scape. Very imaginative. Love the marimo tree.
Wasn’t expecting my cat to watch this with me, I’m pleasantly surprised by it
Your videos calm me so much I hope you know how much I appreciate them really, keep up the great work
Please tell the Marimo snowman that I love him.
You are a gift. This channel is an oasis in a troubled world. Thank you.
I cannot begin to tell you how happy I was when I saw that you had a new video up! Thank you for bringing peace to this crazy world.
Perfect time, I'm watching this on my lunch break.
You had me worried there for a while!!! GREAT TO SEE YOU again my friend!! How BEAUTIFULLY YOUR TANK HAS NATURALIZED!! and your lil fish ohhh what BEAUTIES ❤️ they are .. there colors are stunning... THANK YOU 😌❤️ for making the video and bringing it to us...
The moss ball “snowman” got me ⛄️
Your content is wonderful. I know you've probably heard this a hundred times, but i've got so much relaxation and joy from it during this long period of quarantine. Thank you. 🙂
His videos are always amazing indeed. I'm trying to make videos of similar style (not nearly as good as foo lol), but you might be interested!
When you see the amazing master craftsman upload!
Wow, those cichlids knew what was up! No fear of the giant food shoot or metal tweezers! I love that you could see his little teefs at 05:15
they seem so friendly towards you!
The brine shrimp look like snowfall in this warm aquatic winter... the chiclids are soooo small. Wonderful video as always, thank you Foo
I was Zooming, then I got a notification. BAM! Here I am!
This is so soothing☺️And the fact that he puts so much effort and care into taking care of these fish and giving them a good environment is so sweet☺️
The videos are just incredible, thank you so much for your hard work, and that's coming from a fellow fish keeper.
Awesome just awesome i love how you incorporated a sump inside the tank with a decorative wall to hide it. Really smart thanks for the inspiration.
cant express how much i love your videos. I look forward to them every time. it’s crazy but during those 6 minutes, everything is peaceful.
I love that you give us context in the description. Those details matter so much since you don’t speak often.
I’m just doing what Ame says
Same
Who are you and why are we going through the signs of PARASOCIAL addiction
Don’t worry about it
@@Tamagodew It’s part of being in the rabbit hole
to the marimo snowman and to you:
*you’re doing great, bud.*
you have no idea of how much I appreciate that posted a new video
I had a splitting headache but after just a minute of watching this video it went away. I got no stress colours just watching this video.
Is this not the most relaxing thing ever to watch. So chill!
These videos are so charming, educational, creative, soothing, full of wit and happiness. I could go on and on about how genuinely wonderful your work is. May you know nothing but blessings for 10000 years.
That was really nice to watch ☺️
Okay Ame
Wokeh :3
they entered the tank and was like " well damn.."
This channel is magical. Never been into fish, and all of a sudden I watch it every night. 😆 🐠
I love these updates. Instant calmer. Thanks for all the work that you put into them.
Yes, finally! So excited to watch this video. 🤗
Liked the way you hidden tools back . which is quite way to see natural but though it functions back gives comfort for fish and ourselfs.
I really love the simple setup.
Finally got an idea on what setup I'll make for a tank I'm getting.
The care he puts into it. I remember I got my fish from Walmart as a kid. Threw them in tap water and carried on. They lived for a year or two. I cried when they died at 14 years old.
Yeah I know, sappy, but I cared for them all by myself for those two years. I can remember calling my dad sometimes and asking him to feed my fish. I guess I did care.....
How is it possible that people would dislike this?
It brings my heart so much joy to see you posting now ☺️☺️☺️
Hey investigators😄
Relaxation at its finest👌👌
I literally stop thinking and just stare with this..
My favorite apistogrammas!!!! I cant wait to see how they do!! Please post a lot!!
