Experienced fishkeeper here. Just some things that I noticed from this video and wanted to touch on for you and anyone else watching Jon.
First, nitrite is toxic to fish, but less concerning than ammonia. The nitrogen cycles goes like this: fish poops ammonia> bacteria turns ammonia into nitrite> bacteria turns nitrite into nitrAte> you remove nitrate from aquarium with a water change, or plants use it for growth. Both ammonia and nitrite are fairly toxic to fish, so before you have the bacteria to process them they will be problematic for the fishes health. Doing more frequent water changes is important during this stage.
Second: that grass (dwarf hairgrass I believe) is not going to flourish on that driftwood, or probably in your tank at all. It needs lots of light and generally requires soil under the gravel/root tabs/ CO2. Regardless, you have better chances with it planted in the gravel because it spreads through runners in the gravel. I wouldn’t recommend it regardless. If I had your setup and experience I would put in valisneria or elodea anachris instead.
Third: if you are siphoning water you shouldn’t have to constantly pump it. Make sure the tube is empty then put the siphon head in the water. Keep the squeezy end lower than the tank in the bucket, give it a couple of squeezes and it should flow on its own until you take the siphon end out of the water.
Well said
This needs more likes. I’m also an avid fish keeper as well
i siphoned and let the water flow'about 20% for a weekly water change.. johnny should teach Kayleigh to do water changes so she can do this when he is away on a fishing trip. Never used a pump
well said you’re supposed to cut the tube and place the pump in between the too peces of tube --
This guy knows the wei
one thing I noticed about Jon which I appreciate, is that over the years he has been more and more receptive to suggestions made by his community! awesome guy all around and dope video :P
I raised a baby 2” bass in a 75 gallon aquarium for 3 years. At the end of year 3 it was 14” long. I then released him into my neighborhood pond. From the time it was 6” and up it’s main diet was fish scraps from the fish I caught and cleaned that week and he loved eating out of my hand. His favorite was ccrappie chunks lol I wish I had a huge aquarium so I could have had room to keep him until he was full grown. It was awesome taking care of him!
Nitrite is a good sign! It means your water cycle is starting. The ammonia is what will kill them. I would encourage you to watch some videos on water quality, perhaps by Aquarium Coop. This beginning cycling time is very dangerous for fish, bass are tough - but ammonia spikes will kill them fast. Don't be afraid to add tons more plants, it will help consume the waste the fish produce. Also, if you know anyone around you that can give you some filter media (gunky water/sponges) it will help in making your tank cycle complete even faster. When you start getting nitrate levels that means the water will be much safer for the bass. Good luck bud!
If you do get a spike in ammonia, treat with Seachem Prime to keep the ammonia at bay. This isn’t a long-term solution, but I found it very helpful when I tried a fish-in cycle as a beginning aquarium keeper and it helped save most of my fish when I experienced an ammonia spike.
nice comment!
@@minnecagocards4273 fritz aquatics fritz Zyme is also another fantastic aquarium starter
Nitrite is a bad sign if you have live fish in there already. Nitrate is the better sign since that's the final process (which he said he has nitrates).
Should cycle thanks without fish or at least without those fish. Nitrite will also kill them as can too high nitrate (that's why we do water changes on cycled tanks).
Yeah I would definitely agree
As an avid angler and fish keeper, I appreciate how you are really trying to take proper care of your fish tank. Can't say the same for many other fishing YT channels guys who try to keep fish. Some of the stuff you're doing is a little over kill though. Especially for strong bass. No need to really match the water temp for your new water before adding it. It's only 20% and like you said, bass are resilient and they won't go into shock. Great job though.
KEEP that sponge bob thing IN YOUR TANK that little bit of humor was cool & liked seeing Lucky in the pet shop !
You can use cotton thread from a sewing kit to anchor your plants. You should also add some hiding spots for them. Clay pots are a great solution. You can break them up and make them look better.
Cyanoacrylate super glue can be used in an aquarium once it is dry. It drys inert and will not affect the fish or water parameters. You can use that to glue your plants to the wood or rock that don’t require you to plant them in the gravel/substrate. I use the gorilla glue gel with the green cap.
Get a fluval/aquaclear filter for a 50 gallon tank. The slight over filtration will allow you to cut down on stressful water changes
@@eric_schaaf when you do a water change, you can’t match exact temperature/ph of the new water to the existing tank water. This sudden change can stress fish: I didn’t say don’t do water changes, I sad if you over filter slightly it allows you to do it less often which equals happy fish
Jon! Wanted to let you know that if you pump the siphon one or two times, it will start the flow and you don’t gotta pump anymore!
Jon, you can get a special plant and fish safe glue to attach your plants to the driftwood. Petco will have it.
Gorilla glue gel is safe and works great.
I love how much research you put in this. So many people don't put in the research. I think you started on a good note. Bass are hardy fish and so fun to have in tanks.
I would very much look forward to a weekly bass factory update!
ME TOO !!!
Predatory fish tend to be fairly inquisitive because that's how they make a living in the wild. Having live plants will help control water quality by consuming fish waste. Get a shot glass and half fill it with water from the tank then add your shrimp/worm cube. The block will defrost and you can pour it into the tank. Leaving the frozen cube drifting around is fine as they will learn to pick at it as it defrosts. Those sheds in your yard would make excellent fish rooms for breeding your own baitfish and stocking fish. Add a small catfish such as some corydoras to your tank for a cleaning crew.
Get some seachem stability to help establish your filter with the beneficial bacteria it needs. It’ll turn that nitrite into nitrate super fast and you’ll remove that with water changes. Just dump a cap or two into the filter every day for a week and your tank will be seeded with the proper bacteria👌🏼
I’ve imprisoned many bass and cichlids. All I have to say is that I literally never change my water ever. I only add water when it gets low. If you have a filter that matches your tank size you’re in business. Live plants also really help. If I have live plants I don’t even run a filter at all I just keep the water moving around. And all plants work.. even bamboo or other plants growing on the surface with the roots in the water
my boss did the same years ago; he had the most colorful agassis and krybensis fish !
As a fishkeeper I love that Jon made the tank more natural. My only 2 suggestions is watch some MD fish tanks or Serpa Design to get some cool ideas on how to improve it even more. Also the easiest way to handle your nitrates nitrites ammonia etc, just do a fat 50% water change... remember to dechlorinate tho
To help the plants stay down on the wood. You can actually use a dab of superglue. And for the nitrite. Just do like a 50 percent water change every other day until it goes down. Bc nitrite is really deadly. Hope this helps and keep up the work.
Jon B after you move these bass you should add more small ones back into the current tank and keep the bass growth factory going.
the wife will need to be involved in learning this stuff as he goes on fishing trips ans camp claw for his viewers
Much love for coming to san Antonio. I was so close to going downtown the day you were here!!!! Next time! Cant wait to watch the banger
Slap some lime in your pond. Its a two part powder where it turns to a goo and they use it on leaky ponds. Look into it and maybe give it a shot. Also speaking about resilient bass. Flair had that mini pond that he couldn’t find that bass until after We had that huge freeze in the Midwest. The bass survived without being fed by flair and a huge layer of ice on top. Good luck
I kept fish in a 6ftx2ftx2ft tank and the best thing to help water quality in my opinion is to have external water filters. I had fluvial 404 canister filters. Also you can fit a water spray bar on it as well. More filtration the better. It worked for me.
What I would recommend is daphnias bc 1) they are good for juvi fishes 2) high in protein and 3) they reproduce very quickly but takes time to get a good healthy culture and unlimited food for baby fishes.
Hey Jon, what I do with the brine shrimp is get a cup and fill the tank water, put the frozen cube of shrimp and swish is around until it’s fully thawed out. That way they still feed them off the top as they are used to :)
I also pour the cup in portions so you can control the feed and not just have all the food sink to the bottom and not end up getting ate. Pour some, let them eat, pour more ! Sweet
The tank is looking great!!
You should get them frozen grass shrimp it like the freshwater version of krill. Especially since bass at this stage are more likely to find grass shrimp in their natural environment instead of krill.
Nice start you should add more live plants,it helps filter out toxins also. I have a 60 gallon with a perch,rockbass,bluegill and a goby that i caught micro fishing 2 years ago and sice i heavily planted it is way more low maintenance.
I'd suggest you get any type of floating plant like duckweed or salvinia to help suck up all those nutrients from the water and overall improve the water quality. It'll also provide cover for the bass if they ever want to hide away from the light and chill in the shade for a bit.
for my turtles, I have a pump like the one you had, but one end attaches to a sink so it is constantly sucking up water, it's much easier and I would recommend it. it also can push out water if you want to refill the tank quickly.
If the plants come off the wood you can actually super glue them to it. completely safe as long as apply and let dry out of the water.
John, if you have mosquitos right now... just lay an open container of water out and wait for the larvae to show up in the water. Feed those alive to the bass. They love em.
Get them on floating cichlid pellets. That way when they go in a pond again they will eat floating food pellets which will get other bass doing the same. Having them in a tank this small helps long term on getting them to eat pellet food.
I've done all this before in Orange County California, the bass and bluegill and catfish came from ponds at Mile Square park back in the 70's when I was in High School!
I didn’t realize how colorful baby bass were. Cool!
you don't have to worry to much about cold water bass are hardy af. I put the garden hose straight in the 250gal tank and have been for 4 years and she don't seem to mind it. I don't heat the tank as well to keep it as natural as possible to extend her life. I feed mine cichlid gold and krill once in a while.
There are a couple different kinds of plants. Some grow on wood, some in the ground, some in the water column. I do quite a bit with aquatic plants. Feel free to reach out if you want more info. The pH value isn’t really a big deal. It’s a rapid change in pH that will harm the fish. But that’s rare in a stable tank. Driftwood normally leeches for a couple weeks as well. So you’ll see the water get brown. Not detrimental to the fish at all though.
Melt the cubes in a cup of water and slowly pour into tank. That will cut down on waste and help keep ammonia in check
@11:00 I thought Jon had pulled out a personal toy for a second if you know what i mean😂😂😂
Hopefully when they put grow that tank they can go back into a new deeper pond with nice things inside. Or into the googan store fish tank that would be cool. But good luck fishing
"It has been a week and a few days " It's been 4 weeks 🤣🤣
well depends on when he filmed this
This was really interesting, looking forward to continued updates!
You can also use gel super glue to anchor things in the aquarium. It is safe for fish and vegetation.
Hey brother, fish biologist for the USFWS speaking here. Not sure how soon the plan to move these guys to an outdoor pond is, but if you’re wanting to promote growth the warmer the temp the better. Warmer temp speeds up their metabolism, meaning they require more nutrition quicker. If you want to hold them off on growth you can drop water temp. Anywhere from 55 to 80 Fahrenheit is good for these guys. Introduce the temp change slowly, these guys are resilient as you mentioned, 2 degrees a day is fine, but the more you drop temp the slower they will grow. Love the channel, cheers.
Additionally, the sooner you release them to your pond the better. The longer you hold them the less “wild” they will act in your habitat.
I’m proud of you Jon, you have stepped up as a father😂😂
I would recommend getting the “python fish tank cleaner”. I have a pet base of my own and it makes the water change process a breeze! You hook it up to the sink and it automatically sucks the water out of the tank and back into the sink. Try it out!
Be very grateful that those Bass you have are small enough to be trained to eat store food. My kids and I tried keeping a 7" Bass and it was a royal PITA to feed. It would only eat live foods.
I think what you gotta think about for your pond is an actual price youre willing to spend and then fix your major problem which is needing a ton of clay to line the bottom which also mean it needs to be dug deeper to keep the depth you had before
have you seen that powder that turns to gel after a few hours? soaks into the sand and seals it up... clay sounds like a lot of work
@@erikolsen6061 yeah but anything like that you run the risk of leaching chemicals into the ground and into the pond
Not sure if this will apply to your aerator pump but when I grow plants hydroponically it’s a definitive rule to keep the pump above water level to prevent any siphoning back to the pump during a power outage. Don’t know if it applies to you but it could save you a lot of trouble if the power goes out 👍🏽
Good start but I would recommend a fast growing plant like hornwort it really is a great plant the doesn’t need much but does do a lot and to get those plants you already have stuck to the wood you can use some superglue
I had fish and used to feed them those frozen brine shrimp and I think it said to defrost the cube first with a tiny bit of warm water. Like, just get a little container and put the cube in, add a little warm water and just swish it around until it has melted all the way. And then dump it in the tank
Keep an eye on their size in relation to each other, I did this once and had one that grew larger/faster than the others and she ended up eating all the others one day while I was at work. They all had plenty of food and ate well but she grew a lot faster.
I have raised tiny baby bass as well I have found that they love to eat worms so just get a smaller worm u can rip it in half or take a tiny piece of the end and they absolutely love it I would definitely suggest tiny worm pieces!
Add API quick start every day along with 50% water changes everyday until you’ve gone through your 3 spikes. Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate. Since you have nitrites you’ve already gone through the ammonia spike and have nitrate spike left. All 3 spikes can kill fish.
Then you will be good with 25% water changes every other week or so.
It does help to thaw the frozen cubes. I put them in a little water and then microwave it for like 30 seconds then dump it in the tank
for nitrite put duckweed in! a lot of ppl hate it but it rlly helps with nitrite and is easy to grow! also i’d look up some easy to grow aquarium plants just in general like java moss and java fern or maybe some jungle val. soon enough you’ll be down the hole of aquascape XD
Sea-chem products for water quality is top notch. Thaw your frozen food in a cup of tank water before feeding. Mysis shrimp is small and a great high protein snack.
You can superglue the plants to the driftwood to hold them in place. It's non-toxic to the fish
The mysterious and rare sighting of the feeding baby Bass 😂😂😂 ok I think we went a little far on that one Jon 👊😜😂😅🎣💯🤙
If you have any house plants or outside plants they love this kind of water.. Love ALL the content you put out.. truly an original.. look forward to new vids and can't wait to see the precocious buddle of pink! Peace & Love 2 you 3 from, Lori in Northern Calif.
as a peacock bass owner i love it! feeding them frozen foods while doing live ever so often sort of as a treat is a great way. Plus nothing is better than a good pellet once they’re older
As for a suggestion I would suggest that u take out the rocks and put sand in the tank so the bass can bed but u don’t have to unless u want to
When you are cleaning the rocks with the tube thing you should push it all the way to the bottom of the tank because some sediment sinks further down into the rocks. You can smooth the rocks back out after.
I've always found that watching young fish like these eat is just so interesting, and it gives you a lot of insight on how these fish work in the wild. Always happy to see another great viddy from ya, and I look forward to more vids on your pond, as well as these little guys. Keep it up.
The slow mo feeding was awesome by the way
Need more of this
Yeah the brine shrimp is what I feed my cichlids. Very good, & they love it
Awesome Job,now don't forget to also get plant food. You should add a carpet of Staurogyne Repens
Super cool. My dad built a 8x8 outdoor fish tank when I was little out of cement and bricks and when we went fishing he would bring back bass and catfish and all he had was a bubbler fountain in the middle and they did fine. Brought back some cool memories.
One of the most used tools in my fish room is a 20" long 1" wide clear rigid plastic tube. Cover one end with your finger and use the suction as the fingers removed to suck up everything from newly hatched fish to plant and fish waste. Most fish will lose fear of the tube quickly
It can be used for feeding but this makes using it without being harassed for food unlikely
It's minimally invasive compared to the dreaded net and can be cleaned easily.
Also CrazyGlue is aquarium safe and is great for securing epiphyte type plants to structures.
Reach out to Paul Cuffaro for tips and tricks to raising fish!!! Also make sure to get some uv lights so the vegetation is able to survive
Keep an eye on the Ph when adding in love plants
John! You should get some little fresh water shrimp to eat the leftover food the bass don't eat.
It's great that Jon is doing souch to help the bass in his backyard.
Also we all know the best diet for a bass consists of VARIETY
Yo! Another good way to feed them is to melt the cube in a little cup and use a pipet. It’s a good way to control how much you feed them and it will help prevent over feeding
Also, you could get some tilapia from Walmart and cut them into little strips. I did this when I had some peacock bass taht were around the same size as the bass you have. Anyway, keep up the good work!!
One more thing😂. If you have a Costco membership get tilapia from there instead of Walmart. It’s a bit more expensive but it cuts a lot easier and doesn’t have the nasty red bloodline that runs through it
As far as ph balance I herd that keeping your tap water consistent is best. Don’t try to to get it to where you want it just let it be where it is
Heeeeyyyy JonB make sure to keep top on and Closed. They will jump out and you will find a dried out LMB on the floor. This is 100% from experience.. Great job on everything man...
Make sure to keep up with water changes on that fish tank! There's already bubbles forming at the top - I forget the exact reasoning why that happens but tents to happens when nitrate levels and other levels are higher then normal
bubbles mean there is plenty of oxygen
love to see you are actually doing your homework. Also live plants help a ton!
Hey what's up Jon I used to own a pet store what we used to do is get a small cup dip it inside the tank get a little bit of water and cut the cubes in half Start stirring it then pour it in little-by-little If you want you can cut little pieces from each tubes And stir it up to everything breaks up then pour it in little-by-little
The tannins from the driftwood is great for fish!
You’re going to need a bigger tank - I have a red-ear sunfish that chows the frozen krill - just break it up into tiny pieces while they’re small - I like that better than frozen cubes because it’s easier to feed the right amount and help keep the tank clean
Ive fed lots of frozen foods what i did was get a shot glass put water from the tank in it put the cubes of food in the glass with water let it thaw out then dump it in the tank!
Do a rod and reel arsenal please 👍
Jon I love what you’re doing for these fish but here are some tips from an experienced fish keeper first your hair grass grows best when it’s in the substrate of your tank and will carpet the bottom of the tank second the other plant you have it it’s an Amazon sword I would rec you put some fertilizer pellets in the soil to help it grow bec they need a ton of nutrients and even more than the fish can produce bec you used and inert substrate I made the same mistake when I started
Good luck and happy fish keeping
Make sure you get some fertilized soil or fertilization tabs so those live plants continue to grow and look good! The more plants you add, the less work you have to do!! And you can use super glue gel to stick down the plants, it’s all safe
I'm currently raising a largie that was about the same size as these little guys are right now. Close to two years now my little guy is no long a little guy. They do grow very quickly! I had a smallmouth which was so much cooler since they're so much more aggressive! He's now happily living in a friend's pond along with tons of shiners and minnows. My largie will be joining up with him in the spring.
pro tip: used fish tanks go for $1 a gallon. In the fish keeping hobby its a standard you just gotta find people that arent asking what they paid for the dang thing. and petco does $1 a gallon sales still i believe from time to time. java moss and guppy grass will be your best friend when it comes to low maintenance dense vegetation that grows fast.
Looking forward to see them grow into big’ uns!
Awesome video. And what an awesome job your doing raising them small bass.. Can't wait to see how big they get. Keep up the good work buddy
I just got into cichlids and one is currently with a mouthful of fry. Super interesting stuff. Have you named them yet ?
Thanks for that very interesting look at your set up. Good luck and keep us posted!
That was a savage feeding frenzy lol
And another thing I have to add u have to use healthy Chemicals and depending on how much new tap water ur putting in u read the back of the container to see how much stress coat and what not to add definitely suggest looking at that and watch some videos and read about what to add when u put a certain amount of tap water in ur tank
Looking forward to this series! Well played Sir!
I would suggest you to feed them something living or frozen, something that they would eat out in the pond or something. When they get bigger though, 10 inches plus I would think.
interesting vid. Jon, your mom was right. I used to raise some african cichlids and mixed 'em with pumpkin-seed and some central american cichlids. their favorite frozen/dried food was frozen krill. bass, like seed and the african ciclids, are very adaptable and did well in acidic water conditions, although some africans liked alkaline - -they did acclimate . Keep teaching and sharing Jon. 😌 👍🏾👍🏾
btw, I alwsys kept a silver or black Arowana and they LOVED live worms. the other fish never bothered them
NIce Project, tank looks real good.
Pick up a plecocostamus (bottom feeder) keep the algea off the glass and eats unused food. Kinda neat to watch
Can’t wait to see how big the fish get. Keep up the good vids.
So for the nitrogen cycle, u want good bacteria to build up, it builds up on ur filter media and substrait and on decorations, would definitely research the nitrogen cycle. Also for the gravel vac for cleaning ur tank, look up Aquarium Co-op, he has a very good video for how to use them, I will find what it's called
It's called: How to properly gravel vac your aquarium(detailed version). from about 11 months ago
