You can tell he did this 1000 times. If I ended up messing my watter like that being brown I would 100% freak out 😂
Aquarium people are so lucky that they have Father Fish with 70+ years of experience sharing all his knowledge with us. I followed his advices and quess what ? I have now the most beautiful aquarium I have ever had. Thank you Father Fish, greets from Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
I love watching a master at work everything looks so easy and natural
Today is day 3 of all natural tank and my fish are doing good. Thanks for all your help and encouragement to just do it.
Awesome! FYI the anubias doesn't have to be planted onto wood, it can go directly in the substrate. I have wonderful results, just remember to keep the rhyzome above the sand. Cheers Father Fish 👍
I tried this but for the life of me I cannot stop them from floating to the top! Do you place anything over them or near them to hold them down?
@@exoticwaterit depends on how long the roots are I guess. I just bury them in the sand making sure not to cover the rhyzome and then enjoy. Maybe the plant is too big, I tend to use the smaller nana varieties..?
@@DashDronesthank you! I’ll try cutting them into smaller pieces 😊
i love your videos so much, father fish! this one was so fun to watch!
Thanks father fish, can we have a setup with house plants and some biology behind it
My father fish tank is still doing good, I couldn’t handle a 75 gallon 😂 love this episode.
Landlord and property manager are going to love this😂
I've got a 150 in my bedroom, 250gal pond in my living room & multiple "smaller" tanks spread around.. I live on a 3rd floor & my landlord loves it 😂
Thanks!
I can’t wait for the progress! you’re fish are so chill. i love it 😂❤
I liked the wood set up 😊 glad to see you're doing good 😊
Love when you have these how to videos. Ff in action! Your fish are so chill and healthy. And those mother swords! And the anubias look perfectly placed on the driftwood. Thanks for bringing us along on your rescape project. Following along on this journey…. 😁☮❤🐠🦐🪴
I really enjoyed this video. I absolutely love those socks!!! I used to have some like that, but they wore out.😊
Your Aquascaping style is a little casual 😅 you go the natural way hmmm and i just love it ... nothing bur Respect and ❤ FatherFish from Nepal 🙏🇳🇵
I love this , thank you father fish
Love this video from you. Lest anyone think you're not an aquascaper ;)
Father fish ! I found your channel AFTER I set up my 10 gallon aquarium, I love this hobby so much that I bought a 30 gallon and another 10 gallon that I’m going to set up as natural aquariums, I was wondering, is it too late to try and transition this ten gallon tank into a natural aquarium without completely draining and emptying the tank? (I will if there is no other option) or can I get away with simply adding some muck from the lake into my tank, I’m trying to get from the sterile approach, also is a sponge filter recommended for natural aquariums as apposed to the conventional hang on filter with replaceable filter media? Just wanna make sure I do things right so I figured I’d ask the man himself ! I
Those Amazon swords are stunning !
Thanks! Good learning opportunity for me.
Those Amazon swords were beautiful! No wonder you wanted to keep them, I would have done the same Lou. 😊I love how you just get right in there with your tanks and don’t fuss about it, it’s just as natural ecosystems would form. 😃
Edit: I forgot to say I love these type of videos from you. It’s nice to have livestreams but also video content like this too. Keep up the great work FF. 👏🏼
TX Donna. Any fishy crochet?
@@FatherFish Sorry Lou for not responding until now, only just seen this. My youtube has been playing up haven’t had any notifications, no replies or like were showing up for the past 2 months. Its been so frustrating. It’s only just started to show up a few things over the past few days.
I’ve never tried crocheting any little fish before. I have made octopus 🐙 toys though, they were very cute. So I will have to see what I can come up with fishes wise and send you something out!😊🐟🐠
Catch you on the live stream soon…I’m always there even when I can’t live chat. ✝️
I had to do the same thing. Your the best FF
Wow, are those black-banded sunfish in the cube tank? Wonderful!
yes
You have so many good tips in this video. Learned a lot! Thank you so much for showing how you redesign a tank! This gives me so many ideas! 😊❤🎉
Hi Father fish , newbie here . My daughter just turned 9yrs has been nagging for months to have fish so we got some for her birthday. its a gravel tank with a few plants and moss balls. One of your video's popped on my Y.T feed so i watched it and am very interested in your natural method. We've just got some Aqua soil and i've ordered sand. Its a 67 litre cold water tank , i have 5 platys with the hope's of getting some Danos. My concern is ( i've read soil makes the water acidic) that by adding the soil it'll affect the water's ph making the water acidic and the platys like alkaline . We live Swansea South Wales Uk and our water is soft. I'm very fond of the fish and really want to do what's best for them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I love watching how you redesign your tanks. 😊
Those are very beautiful tanks father fish. And I love the way the new place is looking. Yeah I had to go in my tank 2day and trim some of my plants I replanted most the trimming but I'm literally running out of substrate to plant any more 😆. I wish I could show you a video of my tank. My kribensis spawned again there free swimming with the parents they are doing a great job keeping all the other fish away. Can't wait till 2morra live stream Sunday at 6 bye for know
Join the SHOAL and join us Wed on Show and Tell. Would love to see your tanks.
Also great socks!

Hi father fish, I have a question regarding tap water. Will chemical dechlorinators negatively impact the bacterial ecosystems in my tank? I just moved from a location with well water to a location with city water. I can probably purchase RO water if that's better but would that be devoid of nutrients for plants?
Hi; really enjoying your channel - my problem is our apt. manager will only allow a 5 gallon tank without a $300 deposit so what fish can I put in a 5 gallon that's not a beta?
How often do you reseal aquariums?
Father Fish I filled 12 x4 media bags with fluval stratum to cover the bottom and capped with 2 inch of sand will my plants still get the nutrients? I'm new to this and wish I seen your videos earlier, definitely subcribing.
Yes, Moving plants may be a problem.
Hi father fish, need your advice.
If i have filled water to my tank but my only substrate is sand (came across your video only after setting it up 😢), how do i go about adding soil in it? Or a thick layer of just sand will do too? Please help!
I have started my first resurrection jar and am going to start my first tank in a month I’m doing it your style and am wondering, how long should I wait to add my resurrection jar fauna and leaves to the tank when I start it, huge fan btw you’ve encouraged me to start my first live planted tank
add small amounts from the res jar right away.
ive about given up on amazon swords. they always die in my tanks. anubias, val, sag, and egyptian tiger lilly are the only ones that have really taken off. ive gotten more into growing plants out of the top. a nice garden with roots coming down and stick to easy plants in the substrate.
Is there a site youd recommend buying fish from, i plan on getting another angel fish or 2
The plants will absorb most of the tannins in time.
Monster swords
😎🙏
I have the father fish method but everytime I go out to the pond to get plants for my aquariums they always die
Not all plants do well in every tank.
Looks amazing!Those swords are massive!!
Please wash any sand you put into your tanks. My son works for Home Depot and manages the deliveries and stocking. The sand may be washed before its bagged, but the bags treatment afterwards would make you cringe. All sorts of things are spilled on the pallets of sand etc. They are stored outside, and at some locations they have major homeless issues and you don't wanna know what they do to those pallets 🤮 **I don't know where the sand was purchased, just giving an example of bag treatment 😊
I prefer wild sand from the beach or pool filter sand.
I did a natural aquarium following ur advice 2 days before and allowed small fishes yesterday to setup..two tanks,one beta fish.. another one is for about 12 fishes..it includes golden fish, angel fish,big and small sharks..my tank is 1.8 feet tank..its little cloudy and looks like crowded..is it ok..how to feed them..golden fishes just asking for food..will it be OK..I'm worried very much..
Little bit of food should be OK just don't want to add too much food
@@George-qr3jp thank u 🙂..I did but I just want to know what the golden fish like to eat in the natural aquarium..other small fishes eat microbes..little confused and worried..
@DeepaDevi-gf3ix blood worms or brine shrimp or I have food that is called nutrinsect made by aqueon. Made from bugs . Better for fish and tank. Just did my tank natural and w this food list my tank clear and fish good to go. They will also eat microbes that's what the eating when pecking ur plants and your substrate. Hope this helped
Join us in the SHOAL. We will help. AND join us Wed for Show and Tell live on TH-cam.
@@George-qr3jp thank u 🙂.. very useful..
Hey father fish I need to reach you ASAP. My one year-old 200 gallon planet tank is got something wrong with it and I got at least two or three fish dying a day. Please give me a way to contact you thank you.
Go to fatherfish.fish and click on the SHOAL: (Discord) link at the top.
I hang our there with my friends answering
questions and helping folks with their tanks.
Father Fish - maybe just let a bag of purigen go for a couple of weeks in both tanks to remove some of the tannins
