As someone who grew up in the killifish hobby starting at age 7, 35yrs ago this guy was the man..viva la old school AKA..
Jack needs to put down all his knowledge and techniques down in a book. You can see his love and passion for these fish from a mile away. His a lover not a hobbiest.
I've seen a tour of Mr Heller's fish room before, but it is always a treat. He has so much knowledge about kilis. Thanks, Lucas
Jack Heller...a gentleman and legend! Thank you, Jack!
Thank you for going the extra mile and showing the name of the killis on the screen. Much appreciated for a fairly newbie in killifish like myself!
This auto played for me after catching a live stream replay … I have seen this before - it’s truly amazing
I was lucky to have had that opportunity to film such a unique amazing place.
Dang, did I just sit thru an hour seventeen minute long video 😳. That was amazing!!!!! 👍🏾
this was an amazing fish room tour. just wow. even though it’s an old video, i’m super happy it came in my youtube feed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am just getting started in this hobby and including my 2 year old daughter!! She loves it!!!
I love those old-timer aquarist.They thought up their own solutions.
Yes. 👍🏻
Love these long fish room tours with loads of know-how chit chat :) Mr Heller is a treasure trove of knowledge and he shares it so graciously. Looking forward to the next tour. Thanks, LRB. You perked up my day no end!
second time watching this video and not going to be my last. Best collection of killifish on TH-cam IMO. Thank LRB and Mr. Heller
So glad you finally got time to take advantage of the new computer and do such a great job with this fishroom tour. Thanks LRB and of course Jack and Gary for both being so open with sharing knowledge as well as quite a few other MASI club members in other TH-cam videos.
That was beyond amazing. What a truly incredible gentleman.
Love it. I wish this video was about 5 hours longer! This guy is like the Boss Ross of killifish.
So much knowledge! Love the fish room tours!
Awe man I LOVE THIS! Thanks so much Lucas and Jack for sharing. Learning so darn much!!
I watched the entire video. Amazing Killis and other fish. The diversity of the genus and species is amazing. So happy you are documenting this extraordinary fish room and hobbyist.
Incredible fish room!!!! Loving these tours soooo much. Makes me want all the fishies haha
Wow that is some fish room. Love it, thanks for sharing.
This guys amazing. What a great fella !
I’m hooked for sure! Recently setup all my extra tanks for killies.
Wow how amazing is this fishroom!!! Holy killie fish !!!!
Jack,,,, out of this world , amazing stuff!!!!
Jack Heller is to killies as Gary Lange is to rainbows!!! Jack is amazing and full of experience and knowledge and I love his tours! I’ve watched it several times! Rob has a nice tour here as well!
So cool!! I am getting hooked on Killiefish
Amazing collection.
Spectacular, this guy is great. Of course he's friends with Gary Lang. Great fish room
Thanks for the upload.
Thanks for sharing the tanks. I want a killi now
That was awesome!!!!
Fantastic video. Jack seems like a really cool guy. The hovabator incubator was interesting to see in a fish room. I definitely need some killis at some point.
Stunning fish what a room
WOW WOW WOW ,Lucas what a video loving the feature length ones...... amazing from Manchester UK Andy watts and family
Wow! So many gorgeous killifish I'd never even known existed!
Is it me or does Jacks voice nearly lull you to sleep but in a good way hahaha!! I imgaine him being a book on tape narrator hahahahah!! He would give Morgan Freeman and David Attenbourgh a run for their money for documentaries host!!
amazing video !!
Great work, thanks to jack and Lucus
Some of the mos committed old timers are killie fish breeders. Jack is one of the greats. TY for the vid about his dedication to the hobby.
Gary Lang to !!! Man I think I would have mentioned that in the description ...I love that guy. Sorry. Well back to the show. I'm so excited !
Yes! This is the video I have been waiting for! But I did not know I had been waiting for it until I saw it, so that's weird. Great fish and great guy. P.s. my favorite "Lucasism" was when you said "I had to go to my girlfriend's wedding". HaHa!
Wow!!!! Awesome!
Ug I finally got over wanting a full fish basement. And now the craving is back.
I love this tour😜 it s my second time around 🐠
It’s an awesome one!
Thank you for this excellent video ,Jack is a nice Man , hello from Paris , France .
here we go just great
This is so awesome!!! freakin Awesome!!
I wonder if there's
A spectacular killi
Just still waiting to
Be discovered in some faraway
place !
There definitely is!!
You went to your girlfriends wedding. That's the most funniest misspeak on any video so far, LOL. Tubifex worm for the sewer worm.
Amazing
Man I wish I could go meet this guy. I want to get some of these fish next.
Cool some of the taxonomy different nowadays nowadays
Would love to have some of these
This was great! What will Jack be replacing infusoria with?
This video really makes me proud to be part of the Missouri fish Society
You have an amazing club!!
Wow, love that Chromaphyosemion Bitaeniatum Mbanga, tried to find some online -uk .there are so many different species, but the images I found did not look like Mr Hellers ?
Great fish tour Lucas! Very well edited with all those specie names and digital zoom, well done! Hope that you yourself will also focus more on Killies instead of all those Guppies. :-)
Nice
What are those containers he had breeding pairs in they look awesome
Ive just got the colwn killifish breeding pair fingers crossed they breed
I've heard snails eat killifish eggs so ive always avoided snails in my killi tanks, even tho I love having snails in all my other tanks cause I find them extremely useful. Im seeing alot of snails in Jack's tanks tho so maybe I should re-think my strategy!!
Girlfriends wedding Awkward 😂
What the pleco thing on the whiteboard
19:00 They resemble the ones from North Trinidad.
I’ve been an Aquarium hobbies for over a decade now but I’ve never gotten into the Killies. Why? Cause I’m an idiot, these fish are beautiful!! Gonna have to give em a go.
Check out the American Killifish Association, FB Groups, Aquabid, and eBay auctions for great killifish leads. We need more people keeping them for sure.
@@LRBaquatics awesome man, I’ll check them out. Love your content!
Note that all the references to 𝐴𝑝ℎ𝑦𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑏𝑖𝑎𝑠 in this video have now been placed in genus 𝑀𝑜𝑒𝑚𝑎.
he only seemed to have one brine shrimp bottle going, I would have thought he would need a rotation of them going?
What does he say at 45:27 in the video for the solution? I got the last two parts, just the first. Is it aquarium salt?
Teaspoon of non iodized salt
I meant to ask, does he sell or ship eggs/fish? So cool, I have to start keeping killies
Be careful you are at a high risk of becoming one of those old kili keepers with dozens of unlit tiny tanks crammed in a room all with mops as decor..... isnt it glorious???? Its like the crazy cat lady of the fish world.
I love his fry system, putting them in the hardware organizer but how does he oxygenate the water? I am surprised being sloshed around that much doesn't affect them.
I love the system so much too, super organized! I need to get one myself. As for the for the water oxygenation, ive had success raising killifish fry in little tubs without oxygen or air stones many times so I don't think its that necessary at that age!
@@daffysreptiles where do you get your killifish from or are they eggs when you get them?
@@KevinsCaninesAndAquatics little bit of both, ive gotten a few pairs from angel fins and traded eggs with other killifish keepers
Are Killifish related to Minnows and Danios?
I know this is old but what is the killi at the very start? Looks brown/red with a bright blue stripe on the tail. Thank you
rivulus xiphidius
Looks like a blanche creek specimen
So what is the worm you get at the sewage plant?
Tubifex worms
How to contact Jack Heller to buy a packet of eggs?
Im in Europe, my AliExpress "magic soil" didn't contain any killi eggs 😅
I don’t think he will ship that far. And yeah I had the same experience with eggs online but also have had some successful. I’ve also had some send where it was nothing but dirt. No eggs to be found… it’s a struggle
👍🏻👍🏻🧐
I hope when you do Jerrys tour you can get him to talk because flip aquatics couldn’t!
Unfortunately I wasnt able to get him to talk on camera but did off camera...
L.R.Bretz's Aquatics lol
Killyfish heaven its that you :D?
Alright
Legenda pt br
Que tesouro esse Senhor tem
Aphyosemion bitaeniatum Mbanga OMG WANT! Lucas - get them and breed them!
tubifex worms. Live in sewage. I used to feed them all the time years ago
There's a video of a channel called Dexter's world collecting them and it's pretty gross
I’ve never had killi fishes
9:48 Gemco? Those still exist on the east coast? Gemco has been out of business since the late 1970’ s early 1980’s west coast. ..
Jehmco
Are Killi Fish found all over the world or something? They look a bit like Betas.
My LPS doesn't know what these fish are. A girl can dream though can't she
