Nothing to be disappointed about mate! You made a ton of really happy dragonflies last year and if you work really hard I am sure you can breed twice as many next season! Thanks for the fantastic videos.
I use round black aquatic tubs to keep my Medaka. I have also used just ordinary tubs I bought from ikea prior. I have managed to breed my medaka in both here in the UK.
Thanks for the information. I think if brandname tubs are used, such as Ikea, then there's a reasonable probability that the plastic will not be toxic ..... my mistake was that I used very cheap non-brandname tubs ... not necessarily because they were the cheapest but because the size was what I wanted. Now I've settled for Ikea trofast tubs which I can reasonably assume are non-toxic but it means using a smaller size than I would prefer.
Excellent video and thinking! I’ve noticed that good shrimp channels always mention to use food grade plastic tubs, even showing close-ups of the symbols to look for. Being a total amateur I didn’t take much notice but as shrimp are super sensitive it makes a lot of sense. I always avoid black plastic cooking utensils, even though they look so stylish, as I know black plastic contains all the impurities that would show in pale colours/white. most shocking is that plastic from car batteries etc is all recycled, just melted off!! I love your Medaka work area, it’s beautiful to me and as for your acrylic sheet cold frame being ‘lashed together’ well, you’re too modest by far! The duck weeds corales look most professional btw ✌️
Thanks for the compliments. One issue is that I assume in first world countries it's probably relatively easy to obtain food grade plastic tubs even if they have to be ordered online. In my case all I could get were clear plastic or cheap black plastic ..... however I've found Ikea Trofast storage boxes for children's toys are now available in lighter colors. Interesting that it seems all other Ikea large plastic storage boxes are advised to be not suitable for close contact with food.
Thank you for sharing all that you have learned. I truly appreciate your knowledge and I find your videos authentic and engaging.
Thanks. Thinking about what I'm going to say on a video helps get my thoughts in order so that, hopefully, I avoid similar errors in future.
