hey guys! I wanted to give you an update on my 75g waterfall paludarium- the newts never showed back up, so I have decided to just keep it as plant only. I think its looking pretty great, especially after a trim. What do you think??
Vampire crabs****
I think it looks fantastic!
Thats a cool looking tank for me I don't mind if it's full of plants
Looks beautiful !!
Hey there she is!!! So did the Firebelly newts ever emerge or did they magically disappear? Also natural hair color is nice! :D
I'm a simple man. I see Rachel O'Leary video, I click thumbs up right away.
much appreciated!
Ditto
it’s been a while since we’ve seen a fish room video, i’m so glad to see you again! you were a huge reason i got into the hobby five years ago, i’ve learned so much on breeding aquarium fish and keeping plants healthy from you
that is so kind of you to say!
Always happy to see a Rachel video! You look like the outdoor adventures over the past few months have done you wonders too!
I have LOVED every second of it! Can't wait for the next one, honestly. It has been very inspiring as well, and I hope to use that to my advantage to rescape some tanks.
So glad to see you Rachel 🥰
Really enjoyed seeing your paladarium and getting the update!!
Thanks for sharing !! I hope you're having a blessed day my friend 🙏🌿🐟🌿💚
Awesome to see you.
Hey, thanks
OMG Rachel. If I had been faced with pruning that tank I would have been stymied. But you make everything look so easy. Under your hand, the end result was gorgeous. You are so talented. We miss your videos. I hope that you can solve your knee problem before next summer's adventure trips. I know how important something like that can be. KC and I are both fully vaccinated and would love to buy some of your surplus, but since you are 2+ hours from us, would it be possible for us to call you to see what you have available in the way of fish? That way we wouldn't be wasting your time or ours, if you don't have anything we need.
Email is better, if you don't mind. I will have a TON of tanks, hardscape, supplies, and some fish, plants etc. Regards to KC, as well :)
Nice to see you back in the fish room. I'd love to see the big boys if you get a chance. I'm sorry about your knee. I was hoping you were done with knee surgery after your last one. Take care and happy holidays. I love this time of year.
I'm so glad to se you again!! Even with the overgrowth, it's looking great! You are still my hero!! 💖💖💖
A real jungle. It looks very nice regardless
It looks amazing to me, both before and after the trim. You really have a green thumb with plants both in and out of water.
👍❤👍
Great to see you again ... take your time . your channel is always a wealth of knowledge to me ,,, thank you .
Love to see you are still going strong, even if the world throws stuff at you. Keep healthy in any way. And keep fishing. 😃
Thank you for the video, it looks really lovely, really like the above an below water level x
If the newts did get out somewhere, they would have turned to jerky somewhere in a dark corner. Happened to my fire belly toads when I was kid. Found them under my couch on the other side of my house after they had disappeared
When I had tripartita in my palu it engulfed everything lol
The paludarium is looking fantastic! 💚💚
And now you've got a few extra cuttings for even MORE PLANTS! 💙💙
🤣
Thanks for letting me hang out in the fish room with you!
The paludarium is looking good! even overgrown it looks like a slice of creek. Here's hoping you can get the knee sorted, living with chronic pain and limited mobility is so debilitating particularly if you want to just get out there and do stuff but you can't, I know how that can be. Stay awesome!
Much appreciated!
Man I was so excited for this video ❤️. You always bring realism and peace back into my hobby.
She's back!!!
whee!
I miss the fishroom videos!!! Hope all is going well rachel 🥰
I just haven't wanted to be down there other than for maintenance/feeding when the weather is good. I should be spending a lot more time down there since its officially chilly season, lol
Overall, I think it looks great. Pruning here and there, and it's back to awesome again.
I saw where Abby posted on Twitt about her back issues, hope the tests came out positive and just a minor tweak. So glad you're enjoying all the travels, I'm certainly enjoying watching those vids. I've gotten quite a few new orchids in now, some real odd looking blooms. Happy that the Dinema orchid is growing good for you. That Bulbophyllum lasciochilum I sent you, mine has gone nuts with growth again, so hopefully new blooms soon. Didn't realize how much I enjoyed your vids, till you cut back on them, so have been watching a few older ones. Still learning so much that I've forgotten over the yrs. Thanks for sharing, and Take Care.. catch you next time around Rachel. 👋
thanks! congrats on all the orchid blooms!
I'm sorry to hear your other knee is giving you trouble. I was looking forward to ordering some fish from you in the near-ish future, but totally understand and wish you the best going forward!
Watching from Glasgow Scotland ..Sorry to hear about your health issues Rachel.I have watched your video`s for years and have learned a lot thank you.Hope all goes well for you.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this video. Glad to see you back.
Thanks!
Hi Rachel, tank looks great, both pre and post trim, and so do you! Take care of yourself... 💜💙💚
This tank is super beautiful even overgrown I like it because it has a natural look too it it reminds me of the rivers and creeks back home in puerto Rico yunque rainforest thank u for sharing this videos mrs.rachel
I love seeing your videos. I used to buy some livestock from you way back in the day and its been such an inspiration to follow you. I currently am in the process of moving across the country/ possibly going live-aboard on a sailboat so I no longer have any tanks and might not anytime soon, so I really appreciate you sharing yours.
oh man! that sounds amazing!!!! I love sailing!
Sharing your 'cold season' here in the UK, love your videos, thank you so much for sharing.
Great video! I still learn so much just from watching you go about your usual activities! It's a goal of mine to have a paludarium some day.
Guess those newts got sucked into the same wormhole dimension that keeps snagging all my socks. Regardless, the tank looks outstanding.
hahahahaha, must be! It is quite the mystery
Did your newts ever show up? Also, I appreciate whatever content you share despite all of life's turmoils. You never cease to inspire.
overgrown tanks are awesome
I like them too, but this one needed just a few touchups to be a little more controlled yet still totally wild, lol
Loved this video!
So glad!
👍😎 That tank after a year looks WAY better than any tank I’ve ever had even before you touched it. It looks like all the outdoor time has done good for you. I hope your downsizing doesn’t include TH-cam. I’ve been watching you for a long time, sometime before you went to see Joey. (The shock game was funny) Miss seeing you on random live streams, always fun after you’ve had a few. 🖖
I appreciate it so much. I plan to keep doing youtube but want to show more nature too. We will see how it goes
FYI cocofiber mats work great when cut to size as a background for both aquarium and terrarium decor and plant attachments. either use stainless steel U clips which can be made out of wire and sphagnum moss to hold moisture for teh roots or crazy glue.
I like to use wicking fabric even better, honestly.
Who knows about your newt buddies. Some critters hide so effectively. When I totally took down an aquarium awhile back, I found my gold nugget pleco that I hadn't seen hide nor hair of for almost two years.
I have a clown pleco I have seen like 3 times in 10 years lol
Great to see you Rachael, and your tank is beautiful. Don't do too much to change it. Want to see more videos !!
Nice to see you Rachel. The tank looked good both before and after...just a different vibe. But of course, the light does need to not be shaded by the faster growers.
Hope your other knee issue gets resolved. Bad knees are no fun.
Thank you for the updates and hope you and yours are doing well. Happy holidays.
looks gorgeous !!
Thank you!!
Looks nice and healthy, seems like a great setup to me even if it’s wild!
Miss your videos miss your videos where we see u doing stuff I'm big fan
Rachael it is so nice to see you! Looking great!!
I got a fun project/idea, if you can get a hold of wild neon tetras, can you perform some genetic rescue to the overly inbred neon tetra? Maybe document it too and go over why it’s important to outcross?
*Before I start my rant/comment, I’d like to point out that I am a new fish keeper, but I have been doing my research. Reading through forums(and not just cherry picking, this is a commonly discussed topic), joining communities and reading through posts, and even read some papers provided through those forums about breeding, breeding ethics, and inbreeding of aquarium fish. A lot of what I’m saying and arguing stems from what I have read so far, sources from the early 2000s up to today, and things seem unchanged(for the most part). *
The aquarium hobby is expanding but there are some practices that haven’t changed much; and that is the breeding ethics of fish. People breed fish, they take a small breeding group(bottle necked gene pool, of unknown origin, probably all siblings), then they breed more and sell them as breeding pairs. Further perpetuating the problem of inbreeding.
Now I know inbreeding isn’t so much of a problem with fish(they are simpler organisms further down the food chain, often inhabiting isolated habitats), and people will rely on it to make more fish, but why go as far as ruining the gene pool so quickly? Why not take the healthiest fish from the spawn and add them to your breeding group, sell the rest to hobbyists or breeders, then buy more fish from a reputable source(changing sources to maximize genetic diversity that enters your gene pool, because any breeder is in charge of managing their gene pool because they host the population)? It seems so much more effective at boosting gene pool while maintaining good breeding ethics.
It may take longer to populate the hobby, but if done correctly people can establish a strong founding population that can supply the hobby for many years.
Hey sweetie I missed you. You’re looking happy and healthy and that’s all that counts I hope all the boys are doing good in the water there, especially the big boys. I’d love to get a look at them again they are my favorite. They may be dinosaurs but they sure are fascinating take care Rachel and be happy and healthy.
I love how full and jungle-esque this tank looks. It reminds me of an actual river/stream bank. I'm guessing the salamander buddies never showed back up again. :( (just saw your comment after posting - so I know the answer. Could the stink pot go in there?)
nope, not a sign of them. I never found any bodies either and have completely cleaned every square inch of my fishroom after the hurricane came through and flooded things.
Nice to hear from you though this was a boring video. Maybe you could show us what's left in the fish room? I totally understand the life issues as I am getting older too.
sorry you thought it was boring, but it was a way for me to get over the hump of just not wanting to even take the time to record what i do down there. Some folks enjoy the process without all the fake razzle dazzle so common on youtube.
@@RachelOLeary I loved it. Flet like i was hanging out in the fish room with you. You do you Rachel!
@@RachelOLeary Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your efforts. Also, I can relate.
Teimes or not, that tank looks wonderful.
Sad to hear about your knee. Take care of yourself. I wish I lived near you . I would love some of your Whiteclouds.
No sign ever, of the newts?
none. Not a body, its possible they could still be inside hte hardscape, but who knows.
👍
I like your hair
What type of plant is that tall one in the front that just sits in the water? The tank looks beautiful!
You do better by accident than I do on purpose :)
This tank has been so easy!!!
👍
