Been looking forward to seeing this since our livestream - cheers buddy!
Nice! Now you see why I had to go down there 😄 cheers
I took 2 pairs to the auction and glad you got one of them, hope they will breed for you.
Yes, please put a lid on that tak.
Also, it was nice to meet you in person at the auction. More now that I see you got one of my wild bettas
O that’s awesome those are your fish! :)
Those tucano tetras looking good, never heard of them
Awesome mouth brooders! I love wild bettas! Great choice!
Yeah he needs to get to breeding them so he can share lol.
@@silverkiss37 lol yes absolutely!
Awesome haul man! All I can think about lately is killiefish. Excited to see what’s to come with all these guys and gals in the future.
LrB. Question - do you store fish food in room temperature? Or in the fridge?
Those gold ring danios are amazing!!! I just picked up some Danio Kerri "blue danios" I got them in a little banged up so they have low spawn numbers but I expect that to turn around soon.
Betta breeding nicely sounds like a dream come true 😄
Lol right! You understand me
You can try a pasta strainer in the glass bowl to rinse the fish and then just rotate the strainer so it doesn't touch the fish.
Killifish my favourite-very jealous my friend
Wait, mouth brooding bettas?! 😮 how did I not hear about those until now?! ❤
Not much is said about them due to mouths full of fry?
There are other fish as well as saltwater fish that mouth brood.
The sink stuff was terrifying 😂
🫠
@LRBaquatics with over 400 tanks, you obviously know what you're doing! I'm getting anxiety about the fact that I've gone from one to six...
So many beautiful fish cant wait for future videos with them 😊
That's awesome! Hemiodus gracilis is one of my favorites.
What a great choice of fish to have new fry are on the way. 😮
Ivar is a great breeder of wild bettas. Mini Mahakam are his specialty.
Lrb- great unboxing! 🤩
When they go from pitch black to bright light in an instant.... they get a little jumpy lol.
I like to acclimate light as well.
Truth
I have bred and raised betta unimaculata ‘muara wahau’
They do really well in a large planted community. I kept mine with checkerboard barbs and kuhlis. Even have the big 4” adults in with celestial pearl danios and they don’t try to eat them
That’s cool!
For fish out of water, I use a credit card type item or cut apart a soda bottle for the thin plastic. The cut soda bottle plastic works good for snail eggs and etc.
Yes those work good too
@@LRBaquatics Ironically I had a koi fish jump out after writing this and found it covered with dirt and some ants around twenty minutes after the fact. Amazingly one of the neighborhood cats walked through backyard and missed it. There was some life in it and I put it in the water trying to revive it with some assisted swimming. There was some reasonable recovery given twenty minutes out of the water, but expect the lowered oxygen and slime coat damage may have been too much. I didn't see it floating yesterday, but think infection might get it. So fish can initially survive a bit of time out of the water.
LRB spoon battle w/ jumpy fish... Glad you had a screen in that sink. 😅😂✌️
Question; in my natural light tanks I just had a wintertime bloom of cyanobacteria. Only in the substrate. One tank is soil capped with sand and the other two are UNS ControSoil and ADA Amazonia. The cyano is only in the substrate, only on the side of tank that gets direct light. Should I be worried about it? They're natural light tanks so I would have a heck of a time trying to black out the tank, which seems to be the only non chemical way to deal w/ cyano. Do you think it will work itself out? Or?
🙏✌️
You definitely should try to get rid of it before it becomes more. Chemi clean makes something for it and Erythromycin works good to get rid of it.
@@LRBaquatics do you think chem clean would penetrate the substrate? Or should I go in and manually kind of scrape a little bit of the substrate before using?
@@laurabustos6560 to be honest idk. I would try a regular dose and if that doesn’t work than do what you have too.
@@LRBaquatics thanks for the replies!. You're awesome!! 🙏
Hi Lucas! Been following you for a while now and considering going filterless on my 75 gallon. The tank has CPD’s, pgymy cories & cherry shrimp. My main concern is that at night the temp of the aquarium can get around 68-70 degrees. Should i be concerned about that long term for the fish?
Should be fine. 68 is more on the low side for cories and Pygmy but if they warm up during the day it shouldn’t be a problem. CPDs do prefer it warmer though. If they are fine with those temps already that’s good. Going filterless won’t make a difference either way with the temps. They will be fine.
@@LRBaquatics I mentioned the temp because thats how low it would get if i took my lids off the tank. I dont run a heater but right now my light and lids are keeping the tank between 74-76 with a small internal filter. I know you say we have to becareful with lids and going filterless.
@@OldFashionWhiskey yes if it’s a more air tight lid you do have to be careful. It should be alright just keep an eye on them.
@@LRBaquatics Thanks for the advice and everything you do for the hobby. Keep on tanking!
Lucas, I am also on well water. It's high in iron but the filter removes most of it... But I noticed there is a lot of mineral build up around the top of my tank. Is that from the well water or the salt I add for the betta? And do you have any suggestions? I am going to start guppies and I want them to be super happy and beautiful! Thanks! Love your new fish!! Happy days. 💚💙💚
Probably a combination of both. High mineral water creates scaling which isn’t an issue for most all fish but is a bit more maintenance.
@@LRBaquatics Great thanks!
That was a blast to watch.
When I was a store manager at a fish store, the orders from asia had the most putrid water. They would put loose carbon pellets in the bag instead of zeolite to try and combat the ammonia and smell. It literally looked and smelled like sewer water. I was actually concerned for my health when I worked there. South america? No problem. Nice clean water and good parameters. Except wild altums would come and the ph was so low it was like 4.
Great haul of fish
Dang, that is some good loot!!! 😮
That glass bowl has seen more fish than probably any other bowl in the world!
😂
Fundulopanchax gardneri golds are fun to breed. Lost my female last month. Ended up buying a trio on ebay. Came in about 1". I needed new blood. So, going to plump up the biggest female that came in the trio to breed into my old male.
Those Golds really struck me I had to keep them lol.
so jealous of those hemiodus! beautiful fish
Some nice killifish.
Beautiful fish. I hope you breed those geos. they are my favorite.
Great mix of new fish!
You are the fish master! 😂
Very good, very nice!😌
18:09 Men At Work 1979 , bought the album the day it came out !
omg your sink stuff is horrifying!!!!!!!!
😂 I know it’s a bit wild but it really does make a huge difference
Nice catch 😂🤓🐠🎸
And I m starting to love those Killifish 😜 good luck with them: they need more popularity 🤓🐠
Looks like you received a mix of Geophagus dicrozoster (at least 1) and G. cf. abalios, no G. winemilleri in there
Hmm guess we will find out when they grow and put them in a tank where I can see them.
@@LRBaquaticsyea, not easy with eartheaters, best to let them grow up and evaluate. some details on the identification: G. winemilleri has four stress bars, so that already rules out the specimens you received. if you pause at 10:07, the two fish above are likely G. cf. abalios or some closely related sub-species, and the larger fish below is G. dicrozoster (mid-lateral point on the third stress bar, with the fourth stress bar being only half the body height, looking like a small triangle ending above the lateral line). this fish is on the left at 10:35, showing its opercular marking and confirming it being G. dicrozoster. misidentification is common with eartheaters, especially for small specimens, and often it is unintentional. great fish nonetheless, i thought you only did small species, good to see some eartheaters.
@@kmingtam Wow sounds like you really know your geophagus! Thanks for sharing! Definitely don’t want to hybridize any of them.
@@LRBaquatics hybridization is possible but rather rare, i have known a handful of cases, usually unintentional. fortunately a lot of the mass breeding practices i disagree with have not reached eartheaters, hopefully they never will. i have kept fish for many years, with eartheaters as the focus, i was just not very active on social media until more recently. if not for the eartheaters i probably would not have commented lol…
@@kmingtam well glad you commented we are all here to learn
Awesome you got pencil fish!! If you have two males together with females watch out they will get nasty with each other
Interesting and good to know thanks
@@LRBaquatics well at least that’s true for my beckfordi (Golden pencil fish) they actually act very similar to cichlids and get pretty territorial lol
Super excited for the Bettas at 12:17. Hope you get them breeding and have them available for us! 🙏
Were you trying to tip them down the drain? 😦 It's certainly looked like it 😢
Lol
just to be safe i would add a strainer in the sink hole!
Yeah I had one in and mentioned it. Better safe than sorry.
❤
Daphnia will take care of the green an dirty water.
Hello chicken nugget :)
