- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ส.ค. 2023
- n this video I share my journey with a Father Fish resurrection jar. I take a handful of the bottom of a local river and put it in the jar and watch it for 30 days. Watching all the tiny organisms come alive. If you are interested in learning more about the Father Fish method I highly recommend checking out the @FatherFish
youtube.com/@FatherFish?si=eF...
This is the link to the most recent Father Fish video regarding the resurrection jars if you are interested.
• Master Aquarist Secret...
Also in this video I talk about people that inspired me in this hobby and would like to thank not only
@FatherFish but @AquariumCoop and @LRBaquatics
because I would not be the fish keeper I am today if I hadn’t come across their videos on TH-cam.
I hope you enjoy this video because I enjoyed documenting these jars daily for you. And if you are interested please consider subscribing to my channel and hitting that notification bell. Thank you for your support 😁👍

Really excellent video Patty. I am so impressed with your excitement and willing attitude to make dramatic changes.
Thank you very much for that compliment Father Fish, it’s greatly appreciated. I’m beyond honored and flattered that you watched my video . I throughly enjoy watching your videos and learning a whole other side of this hobby , The natural way! Thank you for inspiring me and a whole bunch of others with the way you keep these tiny ecosystems in glass boxes.😁
Here at father fish studios we love to see you
Thank you
Thank you! Def trying this as we speak. Day 1, the amount of decomposing leaves is a little over half my jar but Very little sediment. Did you find any differences in the amount of organics you put in? Too many leaves being bad in this case.
Father Fish inspired me to get back into the hobby. Three months later I have multiple deep sand substrate, dirted tanks and absolute loving my aquarium gardens
Absolutely, I liked planted tanks before I discovered Father Fish but he made me think a different way about them and obviously a different way to maintain them . Thanks for watching 😁👍
Awesome, keep getting out there and enjoying nature. Love the livebearer tank.
Thank you, I’m honored you took the time to watch this and thank you for the inspiration you gave me and I’m sure a lot of hobbyist in this hobby. Thank you with the livebearer tank, I have really enjoyed scaping my tanks and their colors I feel really pop in there. The sand and wood was all collected by myself from nature also 😁.Thank you for everything you do in this hobby😁👍
Yes, so many of the youtube creators have inspired me over the years. I keep learning and trying new things with my aquariums and ponds. I is wonderful to be able to learn from so many plant and fish people.
This platform can be a great thing in learning and sharing. It can help and inspire many.. 😁👍
I love your commentary. You are like a therapist.
Thank you very much 😁
Great video Father fish would b proud
Thank you and he actually commented on this video. Very flattered. Thanks for watching 😁👍
I have been keeping what you people are calling Resurrection jars as a hobby for over 55 years & I found it amazing the diversity that ditch bank muds have within them. It also changes weather its day or night. One of the wildest ones for me was a small section of roof top moss that was always kept wet from an air conditioning drain. I submersed it about 5 inches deep, by day it was an interesting thriving plant/animal but by night with a flashlight, it was a writhing mass of thin white worms looking for food. Scary. I could not tell if the worms were actually part of the moss or separate.
That is very cool! Some in past comments mentioned others have done these jars before and if you think about it these probably were some of the first aquariums for people years and years ago.
Wow, that definitely is wild with the rooftop moss. It’s crazy to think of the amount of organisms that actually live all around us and we just are not aware of.
Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching 😁👍
I am a diy type person..love building my own stands..aquariums...i am always watching folks like minded....
Thank you I appreciate that😁
I did a resurrection jar a few years after watching father fish. It is so cool to see what happens..its hard to believe that life will come forth...but it does.
Absolutely Didi, it was amazing seeing all the little organisms come to life from that little handful of muck. Thanks for watching 😁👍
This is a awesome video, I have seen Father Fish talk about it in videos but to see your actual results is amazing. Thank you for sharing this and this inspires me to try this. 🙂
Thank you that is much appreciated! Same here it’s amazing seeing the results first hand and am flattered I could inspire you to try this yourself. 😁Thanks for watching 😁👍
Father Fish is my covid binge video watching lol. I love what he introduced to the hobby.
Recently I have been contemplating the resurrection jar. Was just afraid to add 'unknown' into my tank. Glad to see you try it ❤ gave me inspiration 😄
I completely agree with you loving what Father Fish has brought to the hobby.
I completely get the uncertainty with not wanting to get anything bad in your tank I was the same way. But that’s the beauty of observing it for 30 days … you can see if there is something you don’t want in your tank 👍
I’m honored that I was able to inspire you to possibly try it😁 Thanks for watching 😁👍
Recently found father fish, and when he speaks everything he says just sounds right, I watch many fish youtubers but no1 has inspired me in any way to change things up, expect for him a true master in the hobby, he proves its not about money and fancy equipment , i will soon be implementing many of his teachings
I couldn’t agree more with those statements. Father Fish has definitely inspired me to be more natural with my aquariums and definitely opened m eyes on how possible a lot of things are in this hobby that have always been preached impossible. Thank you for watching and have fun with your journey down this path 😁👍
I do not follow Father Fish's methods to the letter, but his methods and philosophy about keeping fish was what got me the courage to finally dive into this hobby. I have never had much i can set off for stuff not related to my own personal survival, so cost was a big hurdle for me to get over. He showed me enough in a video for me to finally figure out that "Hey, i might actually be able to afford this!". So i started saving up for a proper glass tank and figured out that i can make it even cheaper, if i just put in some time and effort. I was given a acrylic tank (first and last, glass rules.) with two neglected Corydoras on the verge of death, and nursed them back to health and had fry within 3 months. Got 50 - 70 Albino Corydoras raised, which i still have 21 of in my tanks.
Another factor keeping me out of the hobby was the well being of these magnificent creatures. In my eyes, most of the "pristine tank" methods are lessening their quality of life enough to a point where i was not comfortable with the thought of keeping fish. I have grown up taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes and have worked in several different jobs related to animal care with most of my mentors having a big focus on sustainability, ecological impact, natural methods and most importantly trying to provide any and everything a animal might need or appreciate (in their own ways.). Whenever i had searched for aquarium stuff in the past, all the results were overly expensive methods that clashed directly with my own thoughts, mindset, methods and philosophy when it comes to animal care. Father Fish got recommended to me on frontpage after searching for terrarium stuff, and i got to see that there were actually a substantial amount of people who not only had kept fish in a way that i find appealing, they often had way better results in terms of animal health!
Now, a little over a year after my first fish i have learned so much and accomplished more then i thought possible. Im also "that guy" who will try to tell people how smart fish actually can be, but i have a sneaking suspicion they think i am batpoop insane LOL. I have trained Bettas who were smarter then many dogs, i have certain fish that likes to rub against me and get pets and other stuff most people would call me a liar for mentioning. Running little science experiments and disproving myths i suspect are wrong for my own amusement has been the most fun so far though.
I couldn’t agree with you more in everything you said. I not only love tanks that look natural but also feel they benefit the inhabitants better than a pristine environment. And you are correct with the cost as well … for me no filters and if I lived in a warmer climate I wouldn’t even use heaters. That is very cost efficient.
I think that’s very cool you trained Betta and other fish. I hand feed my fahaka puffer although it makes me nervous sometimes with those chompers 😂
Thanks for watching and sharing I enjoyed reading it and knowing their are like minded individuals out there😁👍
The pet store lady looked at me like I was nuts when I told her I disciplined my fish.
If there's a jerk, I holler first time. The only one who hides is the jerk. 2nd time, I warn that I will give him the chopstick next time. 3rd time, chopstick.
This means I chase that fish for 3 minutes with a chopstick until he is breathing hard. Then I say, "How do YOU like being bullied?"
Next time, all I have to do is tell once, and he hides and shapes up. Works with most fish except one evil terrorist fish I got rid of. He was a murderer.
So, i explained all if this to the pet store lady who looked at me like i was insane.
A month later, I went back, and she came running over to me to tell me a customer had a hard time with a fish. She told them what I said, and it worked. LOL.
Even though some might think you are crazy, they could be listening. 😊
I had one Demosani cichlid who would press against the glass so I could pet him with my finger outside the glass a lot. People wouldn't believe me until they saw it. Then again, we once had a cat that would occasionally speak clear English. One time a friend who had never been to my house came to visit. People listened to my stories, but secretly thought I was exaggerating.
As we sat there on the porch, a little voice said, "Well, hello there." She leaped up and asked who said that. She saw the cat walking by, and I pointed at him. She said she thought I made those stories up. He didn't speak a lot, but when he did, it was startling as he would say complete sentences crystal clear. We miss that cat. He was special.
There. Now, do you feel more "normal"? 😉
I enjoyed watching your journey with the resurrection jar! My son and i just found Father Fish 's videos. We have started dirted tanks and i just today started my resurrection jars! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thank you and you are more than welcome! It’s a very interesting experience the resurrection jars and can not speak more highly for dirted tanks. I absolutely love them. Good luck and more importantly have fun with it. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Look at that feeding frenzy
They must be living in that tank because I always see those fish at the bottom sifting around through the leaf debris at the bottom 😁👍
This has to be one of your best videos yet.. Thanks for sharing this. It’s absolutely amazing seeing all those living things come from a handful of debris.
Thank you and I appreciate that immensely. I’m very excited about this subject and project and I’m glad you liked it. And yes it is amazing, Thanks for watching 😁👍
Patty this is very fascinating, I like the natural food web experiment! This was very inspirational, and I really enjoyed this very much great video my friend!🙂👍🏻
Thanks Jeff , that’s much appreciated ! I really enjoyed doing it. Some of the critters I seen in there was crazy just from a little handful of gunk at the bottom of a river😁 Thanks for watching my friend😁👍
@@pattys_aquatics yes it’s amazing what grows from it! Now I want to do the same thing! Going out to the lake and getting some I have a bunch of nice glass jars to use.
@@pelhamsaquatics awesome, can’t wait to see what you discover 😁👍
Amazing work👍 The best way to keep your fish happy and healthy 🙏
Thank you very much and couldn’t agree with you more 😁👍 Thanks for subbing and your support it’s much appreciated
@@pattys_aquatics sure, can't wait for more! Happy Sunday from Ireland 👍
@@DashDrones Happy Sunday to you as well😁
Thanks for sharing Patty's! I always refer to them as bug jars myself, resurrection jar definitely has more potential for views. Excellent video and I appreciate you sharing! 😊
Thanks Jeff, much appreciated. And you are spot on with bug jars… that’s a very fitting name😁 Thanks for watching 😁👍
Good stuff Patty, some of those organisms look to be made for nightmares 🤣 Keep the great videos rolling
Thank you very much and yes they remind me of the creatures in Stranger Things lol
Thanks for watching 😁👍
This is a very interesting experiment, Patty! What in the world was the caterpillar looking thing at 2:41? 😯 Not 100% sure, but think I spotted a scud or two, excellent fish food there! Neat to see all the critters that arise in those jars. Hope you have a nice weekend 🙂👍
Thank you Tara I appreciate it very much! I’m not 100% sure what that was. There were a few of those in various sizes. Their were things I didn’t even notice till I was editing the video that made me do a double take lol. Yes I believe I had a few scuds in there. Thank you for watching and have a splendid weekend yourself 😁👍
Awesome video I discovered father fish about two years ago and I was so enthralled!!! I have yet to put together a natural tank, but I’m getting ready here in the next few weeks. I was just watching all this on father Fisher that I had so many questions that you answered. Stay tuned, I may have many questions to come!!!!😂😂
Thank you very much it’s much appreciated. I’m honored I was able to answer some questions for you and feel free to ask any questions you may have. Thanks for watching and have fun setting up this tank it’s fun 😁👍
Very nicely done...
That muck always smells good... Glad this isn't smellovision.
It's amazing what all lives in that crud .
It's a good way to get a colony of scuds etc .. I have seen a lot of his vids
My tanks are pretty heavily stocked as I breed them and have half them planted and filtered..
Dragon fly nyphs are very aggressive .. great for fishing with lol
Thank you Stubbs, yes there definitely was an earthy smell in my Fishroom 🤣
Yes I was truly amazed at the life coming from them. I want to get a couple more going before it gets cold to try to get a colony of scuds or Daphnia or something along those lines going for a separate container to use as well.
Thanks for watching my friend 😁👍
Great video sir thank you so much
Thank you, I appreciate it. I have another resurrection jar vid dropping next week so stay tuned 😁
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Those are some freaking looking creatures in those jars. Thanks for sharing
Yes they are! Some of them had me thinking I had alien life forms in there😂 Thank you for watching 😁👍
Very cool. My biggest hang up about this method is my own ignorance. I don’t know enough about what would be good or bad to put in tank.
Thank you and I completely understand! I still am learning myself. I asked a lot of questions and did a lot of reading on the Father Fish Discord regarding this to get more comfortable with it. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Love a good experiment Patty
Great video and extra explanation 👍
Thanks Mal, I really enjoyed watching this for a month , everyday seeing something different! 😁 Thanks for watching my friend 😁👍
I subbed, Father Fish is a huge inspiration in my fish keeping hobby !
Thank you for the support and couldn’t agree more about Father Fish being a huge inspiration to myself as well. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Wow. Your jars are WAAAAAY different from mine haha. I think i need to start again. Day 27 and only just seeing some signs of life today
Maybe try a different location to take from? Where I got mine there was nothing but mud and a stick or two stuck in the muck. But I grabbed right from the river bank. Good luck and it’s awesome seeing everything come alive. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Immediate success, the fish knew what was up
Heck yeah they do! Brings out their natural instincts 😁 Thank you for watching 😁👍🙏
Thanks, Patty. Fascinating stuff. And with a cryptic name like "Resurrection Jar" how can one not watch ;)
Thank you Stefan, it definitely was a very interesting 30 days watching them and seeing something new everyday crawl or swim around. Thanks for watching 😁👍
What a great video buddy! Love the idea ! And you are right with everything u said ! First I need to say , you have the voice that would make u a great counselor or psychiatrist! , second love the idea of the all natural tanks and it’s great you try these things to become a well rounded fish keeper!, for me I like big tanks, if I could get my dream 500 plus gallon tank it would already be here, but I do not think this method can handle large tanks, with large fish, let me know if this method has the ability to sustain a tank of this caliber anywhere from 75 g and up. Thanks for the video you are great!
Thank you very much my friend, I really enjoyed making this video not only to share with everyone but to see the whole process with my own 2 eyes. I definitely think this could work for any size tank but you are correct in that I don’t believe this would look for large fish. Unless you create a full natural ecosystem where you had a community of smaller fish feeding off the microorganisms and your larger fish feeding on the smaller fish. That would be a true natural ecosystem in my opinion.
Also I never heard that about my voice before but thank you , I’m just glad I don’t sound like babbling idiot😂
Thanks for watching 😁👍
@@pattys_aquatics of course ,keep it coming ,I enjoy your content !
@@TheSalient1 thank you, I enjoy yours as well 🤘
This was really interesting, thanks for sharing your experience!! I have had an unopened jar from my local pond for almost 4 years now!! I never considered the addition to a home tank, really fascinating!
Thank you very much! I found the whole process very interesting and educational. I plan on doing more very soon for all my tanks 😁 Thank you for watching 😁👍
Nice video. Let nature take it's course.
Let nature take its course… I don’t think there is a truer statement. 😁 Thanks for watching 👍
WOW I love this! Thank you
You’re welcome, I wanted to try this and document it after I seen FF video . I’m glad you liked it and thank you for watching I appreciate it😁👍
This is a GREAT video! Thank you!
No thank you for watching and for the support 👍 It’s greatly appreciated 😁
I have gotten into Father Fish theBut last few months too! I have a pond at work (Tampa, FL) that I started my second jar with. So much daphnia already! I have cut waaay back on water changes (doing small topoffs) and added a bunch of plants. I have seen a drastic decrease in fish death from disease. It's exactly the opposite of what every other fish TH-camr said to do when I first started watching and getting into the hobby.
You are spot on with your comment. This style of tank not only cuts your maintenance time down but also gets it healthier not only for the tank but everything within it . And you are correct it definitely is the exact opposite of everything you are taught. This style is all about thinking outside the box and taking a step back into nature and I love everything about. Thank you very much for sharing and thank you for watching 😁👍
I just started my first father fish 15 gallon about a month ago it’s thriving I have about 24 fish very heavily planted probably 90% planted water lettuce really helps because it grows fast but I have all kinds of slow medium and fast growing plants. I fed the fish, initially I had four fish, small fish, two sword tails, and two panda Cory’s-after the first three days I fed them as much as flakes that would match their eyes very very little. After that I have not fed any of the fish in 3 1/2 weeks and they are all thriving. I put in some palm tree wood lastly and I could see little fuzz grow on the wood and see the fish eating the fuzz the first three days, I did dead leaves soaked in water like a resurrection jar and I did another one similar and added a little of the culture and the whole tank is thriving. All the fish are happy and swimming.
That’s awesome to hear! We need more hobbyists like you to not be afraid to take the plunge into this style of tank. It can be very rewarding. Thank you so much for sharing and watching 😁👍
I have a colony of bloody-Mary shrimp. I spotted a planaria worm on the glass a few months ago. I got it out, but there were obviously more. I started seeing more on the glass but I didn't treat it. Last week I noticed a few red worms on the glass. *They are eating them!* My colony looks a little smaller. I am dosing No-Planeria now. You don't want these in your shrimp tank!
Yeah I’m glad I didn’t add the jar that had them. Thanks for the warning and thank you for watching 😁👍
i recently found father fish last week.
If you like natural tanks there is a wealth of knowledge on his channel. My entire fish room consists of dirted natural tanks 😁 Thanks for watching 👍
Great video
Thank you very much 😁👍
Excellent coverage patty...
Thank you Didi, it’s much appreciated 😁👍
Awesome video, thank you for sharing this amazing metod
Thank you very much! If you liked this one check out the one I put out last week. I collected them in the winter😁
Thank you for watching 😁👍
@@pattys_aquatics I subscribe your Channel, I will see this vídeo, hugs for Brazil
This is really cool.... but now I never want to go into water again! 😂
Thank you and I totally get what your saying. To think I picked up a small handful of muck and those creepy things were in there 😂
Thank you 🙏🙏 i want to try it out
You’re very welcome and it’s a great experience seeing just how much life can be in a handful of debris at the bottom of a waterway. Thanks for watching 😁👍
How much muck can I put in a tank.? We have almond leaves all over the place
Just started my jar and aquarium a few days ago! Let thr journey begin! Will post soon!
Awesome, congrats. Have fun with it and make sure every day to look and see what you can find. It’s very cool. Can’t wait to see your results
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Thanks for the journey... thinking, maybe next time release the jar into the tank at night... give the buggers a fighting chance ! ha.... from Tampa Bay
That’s actually not a bad idea. Definitely would give them more of an opportunity to not get eaten the moment they are poured in 😂 Thanks for watching 😁👍
I’m getting ready to do my 1st “Father Fish” setup in a 29g tank.
Plus I’ve got to eat up a resurrection jar.
That’s awesome, it will be fun. Speaking of resurrection jars I have another video with them coming out this Friday so stay tuned. Thanks for watching and have fun with your new set up😁👍
Last time I heard in a video of father fish that without mud and just old leaves it would work better cause the mud can start to mold and can kill life inside the jar. Maybe it's an idea of another project for you to show the difference between both options (sorry about my bad English, I hope jyoz understand what I mean)
You are absolutely correct, originally when I seen his videos on this it was just a handful of muck at the bottom then he had another video the other week about not using just mud. I did add that information into the video.
And yes that is an awesome idea of another project.
Thank you for watching and your English isn’t bad at all 😁👍
Seem like we have followed similar paths. I also like to experiment with my aquariums and have tried several methods to keep aquarium. To be honest i have found most of them to work.
That’s awesome! You are absolutely correct and as you know there is no one way to do any of this , whichever works best for each individual and situation. That’s the beauty of this hobby. 😁
I personally love dirted tanks and for me and my situation cuts down on my maintenance time on them so I can spend more time watching my fish and feeding them😁 Thanks for watching 😁👍
I tested my thermometer yesterday. Turns out it was way off. Bought two new thermometers that both showed my aquarium water was 91° my original thermometer read 71° . I've had my fish in 91° degree water! I'm sick. I don't know how any survived. I lost several over the last few months, not all at once, and they were disappearing in the tank. Eaten by the other fish. I had tested my thermometer before but I didn't do it correctly. I came across a YT video that had directions on the correct way to test your thermometer. I was truly aghast that my thermometer was so far off. Please whoever reads this, learn the correct way to test your thermometer and then test it.
😁👍
Great video brother! I am actually trying a resurrection jar right now! And thats because I resurrected my self if you will by finding Father Fish's channel, after a few years out of the hobby! In the early days of the hobby I got inspired by NewYorkSteelo's channel, and I literally learned all I know about salt water fish keeping. Love your channel man, keep it up!
Thanks I appreciate it!🙏 this definitely was a cool experience watching everything come to life . Very eye opening for me.
I may have to check out NewYorkSteelo’s channel because I was contemplating starting a saltwater tank this year sometime. 😁Thank you
Thanks for watching 😁🙏👍
@@pattys_aquatics
You won't regret it. Salt water could be very rewarding do to the beautiful fish and invertebrates that you can keep in your aquarium, not to mention soft corals that could be hardy and easy to keep. The only downside to salt water is that the water perimeters have to be kept to the letter. There is less margin for errors, and you must start with a 30g tank or bigger. Anyway, I am subscribed to your channel at my other TH-cam channel, OcenLife69, but I am going to sub on this one as well. Anyway, sorry for the lengthy comment! 😆😆
@@DJ-ui2cn no worries on the length of the comment! I love talking everything aquatic 😁
I’m in the planning stages now. The wife wants to be involved and she is the one who suggested saltwater. I was secretly happy because I have been wanting to try one. Told her we need to narrow down the tank size for where we want it then we can talk the types of fish and inhabitants that can go in it . One step at a time. Thanks for the input it’s greatly appreciated 😁👍
I really get a lot of my inspiration from MD fishtanks and got into ecospheres because of life in jars?
That’s very cool, I just recently discovered MD fish tanks. I’m amazed at some of the stuff he can do. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Your jars are so full of life! I went to my nearby lake and took some some leaves from the bottom of the lake, but I havent seen any life and it smells fowl after a two weeks. Should I dump it out and start over?
If your not seeing any life at all then I myself would probably start over.
Mine never smelt foul but did smell earthy. Maybe try getting some from a different location?
Any other questions feel free to ask and thanks for watching😁👍
Many of the crawlies will metamorphose into flying forms eventually. If you give them enough time, you might want a lid.
Absolutely, you don’t a bunch of creepy crawlers flying around your house😁😂👍
Thanks for watching 😁
Just stopped in to watch this video after getting hooked on FF. Had absolutely no intention of subscribing but you're so damn nice, i had to. Gonna cancel a couple that really don't facinate me anyway. 😊
Thank you very much 🙏 I really enjoy making videos that document a process of something I’m doing within my fish room , it’s the point of my channel for me , to give my perspective of this hobby and to document everything good or bad that happens. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for the support!!! Much appreciated 🙏👍😁
Excellent video! I always wondered what the resurrection jar looked like after 30 days. Do u have to top it off when it evaporates…or just let it as is? I’m a big FF believer! I just recently discovered his videos! His beliefs n teachings totally changed my way of fish keeping!
Thank you very much and couldn’t agree with you more with the FF methods. As far as the water I didn’t top it off but you completely could I just wouldn’t use straight tap water. I would use some out or an aquarium.
Thanks for watching and subscribing it’s much appreciated 😁👍
Life in jars site started this....
Very interesting, just looked it up and there is a lot of cool videos on their page. Thanks for sharing 😁👍
Did you run into any water issues after dumping the resurrection jar into your aquarium? I'd imagine the water parameters from the jar vs aquarium are quite different, no? If so, I thought perhaps the drip method, adding tank water into the resurrection jar over the 30-day period, would be a good idea.
No issues at all. I’m sure there are differences in the waters but one jar full of water in my opinion wouldn’t affect your tanks water that drastically. It’s full of micro organisms which is great from your tanks ecosystem and should have no issues with the water itself.
If your wanting to drip the water in thats up to you but unless your putting in water from a polluted source in my opinion it should be fine.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Follow father fish, Paul caffaro, finatic and taylor nicole dean 👍👌
We have the same tastes. I don’t watch Taylor but the others I do. Good stuff and entertaining with Paul and Brenton 😂
You actually dont want anything thats dieing like u had said, u want it to already be dead and starting to decompose. But yes im really excited abt my new resurrection jar
😁👍 thanks for watching
Thank you for doing the experiment making this video, I've collected some dirt but they smelled bad so I didn't use them, saw some interesting life in there too! Found another pond that didn't smell bad, will be collecting from there soon, thank you for the heads up on what not to put into our tanks, is there a list of what should I be watching out for besides the one you've mentioned?
Thank you and thanks for subbing and the support 👍 it’s amazing what you find in these jars.
As far as what you don’t want in your tank honestly it may depend on where you live and what could be in your local waters but like I said dragonfly nymphs for sure, damselfly nymphs I heard can be bad as well and planaria worms if you have shrimp is what I read as the main ones to look out for but if you haven’t I highly recommend checking out the Father Fish Discord and there is a resurrection jar page in it where there is a plethora of useful information from hobbyist like you and me just sharing information we have learned. Thanks for watching 😁👍
@@pattys_aquatics thank you!!!
@@KzLollapalooza anytime 😁👍
Can you and the resurrection jar to a new tank setup?
Yes, Father Fish suggests at the 2 week mark to add it to a new set up. It’s definitely a cool project. I have a new video out tomorrow 3/15 where I add a jar to an existing aquarium if it interests you. Thanks for watching 😁👍
I got the purpose was to isolate and remove creatures to culture seperately and then add that to your tank. I would think dumping water from your resurrection jar directly from your tank would be asking for trouble.
As long as your pulling it from a water source that isn’t obviously polluted or have dead fish everywhere in my opinion it would be fine. I sort of look at the aquarium as an immune system, the cleaner and more sterile it is the greater the chance of a disease no matter how small to take over. Where if there is numerous different organisms it can naturally fight off or combat diseases better. If you’re familiar with Father Fish I highly recommend checking out some of his videos on the subject. Can probably explain it better in his videos than I can in my comment. Thank you for watching 😁👍
@@pattys_aquatics i qm very familiar with many methods of fish and reefkeeping including Dr Fish videos. He said to make cultures from the jar. He never said to pull directly from the jar. He said the opposite. I think doing so is a horrible risk of parasites, predators and bacterial infections. I would implore you to follow his directions. But jey its your tank to enjoy and theres no shade doing it your way. I hope it works out. If not... you have something else to try! ;)
@@damongulick3497 according to the info I found from the father fish discord you empty the contents of the jar into your aquarium. I completely get what you’re saying and have seen about making cultures of different things within them. I guess it’s up to everybody on what they feel comfortable with because you are right in the fact there is no 100 percent certainty that something bad will enter your tank from them.
@@pattys_aquatics ya know im going to rewatch his videos etc on resurection jars jik i missed something. Im pretty certain but ive been wrong. Keep us posted... ill be watching. :)
This looks like something I want to try. Are they’re any concerns with parasites from the water?
It is very interesting seeing all the organisms come to life. The majority of everything in these can be consumed by your fish. Dragon fly nymphs seem to be the thing you want to avoid the most. I had planaria worms but didn’t use that jar because of my shrimp. If this interests you I highly recommend checking out the Father Fish channel and his discord. There is an entire thread on these jars there where to can ask questions and see what others are doing and experiencing.

There’s planeria in my cherry shrimp tanks and they are reproducing fine, no dead shrimp either, I believe when you have lots of other bugs the planeria doesn’t go after shrimp
That’s good to know ! That makes me feel more comfortable for next time. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Personally..i won't trust those planeria...the first time i knew what a planeria was...it was blue on the underside..it was in my shadow panda tank ..not worth the risk to me. Glad its working for you though😊
Can you add the whole jar after a month? I have some dirt and sand in the bottom just apprehensive to add the whole jar.
I myself wouldn’t put the dirt and sand in but if there was leaf litter or something like that I would. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😁👍
Question! I've been meaning to try this, but is it okay without any oxygen flow to the stuff living in the Jar?
Absolutely, I never have used O2 in them. You can add an air stone if you like it won’t hurt anything and If there is a lot of organic material in the jar it can start to smell some. What I do is cover them with a breathable material or you can put a couple small floating plants on the surface will work as well.
These organisms are very resilient and seem to multiple more the longer they sit in this stagnant environment.
Hope that helps and thanks for watching😁👍
I even ordered 2 from father fish. Should I see life after about 2 months? HELP PLEASE...
I wasn’t aware he sold resurrection jars . And absolutely should see life almost right away
Is this safe for tropical tanks or just fresh
Honestly I’m not sure, I never kept tropical tanks. That’s an interesting idea though.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Is gammarus good to add?
I myself haven’t had experience with them but from my reading seen they can be harmless depending on your stock. If you have fish that will eat them to keep there population down you would be good. If you only have shrimp or small nano fish I’m not so sure. Like I said I myself haven’t had them before so that’s all I know from my understanding. Hope that helps thanks for watching 😁👍
What did u end up doing with the planarian worm jar? I have the same worm from one of my jar😢
What you can do is get a small tweezers and when you see them grab them and remove them. That’s what I did in all my jars since this video. I’m not sure there lifecycle either I had one jar I seen a few in the beginning but hadn’t seen them past day 20ish again but I would recommend a tweezers. If you don’t have shrimp from what I hear they will just be fish food. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😁👍
@@pattys_aquatics I see, so manually take them out. thanks for the reply!!
One of my jar have lots of blood worms like urs from day 1 to like the first week…but the amount started to decrease as the days go by…
Don’t know the cause of them disappearing tho…do you have any idea 😂
kinda wanna try culturing those blood worms, heard they are great fish food.
@@Joshuasuua yeah I believe mine were some sort of midge fly larvae possibly. Mine disappeared as well and is the reason I cover all my jars now cause I had flying insects in my house😁 as far as culturing I would think you would have to pull them and feed them before they turn into flying insects
Are you in MN?
No, Eastern Wisconsin, by Lake Michigan 😁👍
You could have seprated, put each one in a contraniner eith leaved they could breed. Thag would had gave them a head start on the fish
Yes, that’s actually my next step. Plan on getting more and going to try to separate some of it like you said in another container to colonize more. That was my first attempt at it and learned alittle more since then that I want to try. Thanks for the info it’s greatly appreciated and thank you for watching 😁👍
@@pattys_aquatics i don-t use jars, i use 5 gallon buckets, i only raise wild guppies. I never have to feed them, the tank take care of them, i follow ff watch his lives on Sunday at 5:30 pm. Bye for now. Good start...
@@sexyguy9525 thank you and that sounds awesome what your doing 😁👍
Won't that cloud the water ?
No not at all, at least it didn’t in mine.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Excellent video!!! I subscribe to Father fish and now a subscriber to your channel. Thank you.
Thank you very much. I appreciate the support and thanks for watching 😁👍
No live creatures in my resurrection jars...😂 what am I doing wrong???
Hmmm not sure. What type of body of water did you get it from? Was it just mud or did you have leaf matter in it?
Why didn’t you add all that dirt muck?
Because typically for the jars you collect leaf litter or mulch like material for the jars and I added that portion of it but didn’t want to jump all that dirt into my tank just to sit on my sand. That was all that was available where I collected this jar at the time in that location.
I did collect a couple more a few weeks ago and will be adding the entire contents. That video should be out in 2 weeks.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
same shit happen with me bro but that planaria put me off im not putting that shit in my tank rather buy cultures that are clean and then put em in a ressy state
I only had the planaria in one jar . The one I did have them in I tossed in my outside pond for the fish to eat.
This definitely is not for everyone. I only wanted to try it with one tank to see if it would even work for me. The verdict is still out on it but definitely was interesting watching all the organisms come to life though.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
I feel funny calling is a resurrection jar since not everyone is Christian. He calls it that because he is a priest.
This video has nothing to do with religion except for the analogy of what the jar is called so not sure why anyone would have a problem calling it that but feel free to call it whatever you like I was just sharing my experience observing one of these jars! Thanks for watching 😁👍
Lol. You can discuss resurrection without believing in THE resurrection. Christians didn't invent the word and it won't summon a priest to your door.
How can we be sure we’re not introducing parasites and diseases into our aquariums????
This seems like a disaster waiting to happen.
The purpose of observing it for 30 days is to see what organisms that are in there. If there are certain ones we wouldn’t want like dragon fly nymph or planaria worms to name a couple they can be removed.
Now as far as things you can’t see, well as long as your pulling this from a body of water that isn’t polluted or visible signs of dying fish in my opinion it would be fine. I sort of look at the aquarium as a immune system , the cleaner your tank is and sterile the greater the chance for a disease to take over where if you introduce all different types of organisms the system can get stronger by being exposed to them and in turn can make the tank healthier. If you are familiar with Father Fish I highly recommend checking out some of his videos on this subject.
Thank you for watching 😁👍
We're Introducing parasites but, nature has a way to control them that's the whole point.
In a full and robust ecosystem, you don't have to worry about the parasites. They are always there, but they will be kept in check.
Great video
Thank you very much and thank you for watching 😁👍
