Great video, I vote for more like this, it’s good to see what you got from the shops.
Cheers Bill appreciate it mate and as you know I do spend a lot of time in the shops lol
Those Uaru have seen better days. It is nice to see them getting some love.
I will have to get some footage of when they are better again mate
Dear Paul:
My, friend Charles rescued a couple of plecostomus (Hypostomus plecostomus). Each was about a foot long. He kept them in a 55-gallon tank, for at least six months, which, frankly, was too small a tank, for them, along with a single, full-grown silver dollar (Metynnis argenteus). I convinced our, local, pet store, to purchase them and they both sold, within a few days. I do hope they went on, to good homes.
I see that you are having super-success with live, aquatic plants. I tend to shy-away, from species that eat live plants. But, Charles purchased so many, dime-sized angelfish that a few of his tanks were over-stocked, now that the angelfish are full-grown. So, I stocked one of my, two 75-gallon tanks, with angelfish. Plants don’t stand a chance, there now.
Thank you for sharing this encouraging and engaging video.
All my best,
Sincerely,
E. J. Brinegar
Thank you E.J yes I am doing ok with most of my plants at the moment although I have killed some but its a learning journey isnt it. Yes hopefully the fish you rescued are now in better homes
I already know the title of your next video -
"I bought a pair of my favourite Uaru"...You know you gave it a thought mate haha!
Hahahaha I have 10 Uaru already cant have anymore lol
awesome-I saved an Uaru years ago when i worked at an aquarium shop whilst at College. It was in one of the tanks at the back of the shop and brought in by a customer. One day I asked my Boss if I could have it and he let me take it for free. The whole time in the shop it was black and came in with bad finrot. We couldn't even identify what it was. A real state
Got it home, it coloured up and I ended up with a great Uaru
Good on you for giving it a forever home thats brilliant
Ste is an absolute legend. You can tell how passionate he is about the hobby from the way he does things like this and rescues fish, and I can assume the margins in the hobby are quite fine at the moment. Those plants look really good, Ste gets the best range of aquadip plants from all the shops I know and his website makes it easy to buy them. I try to order from him as regularly as I can. Great video, Paul. Really enjoyed it, my mate!
Cheers Keith yes the margins are tighter now a days as well so hats of to him and yes he is a bit of a legend isnt he
Nothing like bloodworms being packed up like your at a butcher shop. Very cool. Great video Paul👍😁
Yes I get very excited when packed that way Patty lop thanks for watching 💯
Great video and the content was amazing
Thank you Thomas appreciate it mate
Top video mate. Keeping your fish very happy with that bloodworm 😂❤
Cheers mate 👍💯
Hi Paul , all your fish are looking great 👍👍 .Silver sharks are one of many fish that shouldn't be sold to unsuspecting fishkeepers; they are super active and grow too large for the average tank. Not fair that the shops have to 'pick up the pieces ' !!!! On a lighter note seeing that bloodworm reminds me of my early fishkeeping days (1960s) when most fish shops had a big tray of live tubifex under a running tap to keep it fresh - they sold it by the spoonful in a small plastic bag. Showing my age now 😂. Hope you're well and sending best wishes 🎹Peter🎹
You are showing your age there Peter lol and yes Silver Sharka along with many shouldnt be sold which is sad. Thanks for watching buddy
All your videos are great pal keep them coming 👌🏻
Thank you very much I appreciate that mate
Love your passion for fish, bud! Sadly, there are fish in the hobby that I don't think should be in the hobby, especially in the UK where we have lower temperatures and costs mount up for maintaining large aquariums (excluding yourself of course, I mean the average fish keeper). Although costs are coming down again (for a bit, anyway), it's still crazy compared to what it used to be. Those silver sharks are AMAZING! My old man always wanted a large silver shark; he could NEVER keep one alive for more than a few weeks, for some reason. I've never tried them myself, probably put off by his experience. (They aren't a hard fish to my knowledge; maybe it was the dodgy 80's UK supply?) I can definitely appreciate them though-definitely one of the bigger fish we would keep if we weren't nano people. We stocked our tanks a year ago almost with plants (video coming), and Sessiliflora grows insanely fast for us; literally, you can see the difference every day. We trimmed and threw a ton away yesterday (wish we knew you wanted some). I think you will have a lot of luck with this plant, buddy, if the fish are cool with it! Had some amazing red crypts for the last 8-9 months, then suddenly our zebra plecos decided they wanted to take it down. Zebra plecos are not meant to eat plants-who knew! You asked if we like videos where you go to the fish shop etc..... honestly, we really enjoy all your videos and never get bored or click off, we don't get to watch every single video sadly but most videos, my only criticism is ...... the TH-cam algorithm because you totally rock!!! ALWAYS learning from you! Keep moving forward; love ya, brother!
Thats the best reply I have ever had bar none 💯 I really appreciate you guys and learn so much from you too, thank yoi so much my fellow UK fishtube friends 🫡
@@bigfishlad4847 Your too kind Paul! When we do our next stem plant clipping in about 2 weeks if you want us to post the cuttings over to you rather than throw them away let us know, probably worth about £60-£80 (we don't want anything for them), we have some amazing ludwigia super red and ludwigia dimond red, all grown without C02 so easy but GREAT reds! Up to you don't feel obliged or anything :)
@@Aquadiction That would be mint thank you I will drop you a message on whats ap
@@bigfishlad4847 no worries, anytime bud, looking today will have todo a big cut (5-6 inches) two weeks from now from two 450’s and your more than welcome to the cuttings (anything for our TH-cam buddy, plus better than throwing them) 👍👍
Lovely to see large bala shark, I had one I preserved given from a store where the rescue jumped. Brilliant fish.
Thats one of the downfalls that they jump and I can imagine when bigger they cam burst a lot of lids
Top notch video bruh. Geo tank is the gift that keeps giving isn’t it. Your tanks are coming on nicely 💯👍🏽
Thanks Ras yes I must admit I am a little bit in love with the Geo tank myself
Decent video mate I like that kind of video as I do the others
Those silver sharks were lovely
Cheers Si, those Silver Sharks are really something in the flesh and not something I would usually go for
Those Nicaraguans 🔥🔥🔥
They are mint mate lol
Ste is a top bloke and his shop is excellent. Had a rescue Oscar in when I went in last. Good fish shops will do this and I think it's fantastic that they do. Maybe the decline in aquarist clubs means there is less trading for the larger fish or unfortunate circumstances. Great video
He is a great bloke isnt he, sad the amount of rescues in the hobby, thanks mate
Woa those Silver Sharks look amazing.
Bloodworm looks ace mate. Just turn the internal filter off for a few minutes when you drop them in so you don't waste any and have to clean the filter more often hey.
I like this type of videos loads. Definitely do more mate. Loads to enjoy when you do videos like this.
Thanks Daniel appreciate it mate, yes those Silver Sharks are quite epic to be fair
Great video mate, I used to buy bought live bloodworms from there, nut when I got rid of my fish room fridge, the wife wouldn’t let me put it in our fridge , I used to buy 1 kg at a time lol , the live glassworks/mosquito larve they do is fantastic, my fish used to love it.
Haha thats mad 1kg how long did that last you? My wife is a bit dubious about it being in the fridge but 50g is not 1kg lol
Yes sir Paul that was a great video I wish I could get some of that blood worm here in the States but we just have the Frozen kind which is okay but you're right that is 10 times better than what I'm feeding my fish anyway great video keep them coming feeding videos are great just love them
Cheers Bruce appreciate it buddy 👊💯
love this video mate, keep it up. blimey that bloodworm looks great, wonder if they deliver it
Cheers mate yes he does deliver mate
