YES! RED SCUDS !
"Red Scuds at Night." Great 80's pop song ;)
Lol
You’re always on the edge of exciting things!! Thanks
Well I'm trying... sometimes it just isn't meant to be
Maybe buying colour enhancers is easier, but raising live food is far more fun 😊
Very true!
Red scuds for $ale...
It's definitely not the food. I keep scuds in all my tanks and they are all transparent, regardless of what type of food goes in each tank.
Good observation. I found some research on them saying the same thing coincidentally
This is such an awesome project. I can’t wait see updates. It’d also be fun to breed scuds for larger sizes to keep for viewing in an aquarium. Giant scuds…. Giant RED scuds. Giant BLUE scuds? The possibilities are endless
You have our attention 👀
Hopefully soon you'll have an email about a gift card lol
They called the guy that got obsessed with semi toxic root vegetables crazy and now we have French fries. So Godspeed Alex, maybe these scuds will have a place next to baby brine without the hassle. If I remember correctly goliad farms uses a ton of scuds to feed their fish, so there’s at least farm using them.
They're great for 2 to 5 inch fish species!
Great job alex
I have been waiting for a project like this, I am not surprised that there is a store bought solution but am far more interested in your holistic solution and approach. I’d be interested to see any and all food source selective breeding projects, I’m fascinated by this idea. Make special scuds for your colorful fish!
Welllll I've been looking for daphnia and cyclopse color morphs ( just for fun originally) but now I am on the hunt for any live cultures that can harness any of the color enhancing or high protein/omega fatty acid amounts that can survive in the aquarium along size our fish
Alex, expand your thinking! SCUDS ARE NOT JUST FOOD!! They are food, and they are good food, but people are keeping scuds as fun things to observe already. They can live in very small spaces and they’re nearly indestructible. A colony in an aquarium’s substrate is a long-term food supply, and fun to watch. AND, if people enjoy watching muddy-colour scuds, how much more will they enjoy brightly colored ones? Search up “scud aquarium” or “aquarium for scuds” here on TH-cam to see what I mean.
So what I mean to say is, for food or not, there is definitely a market for specialized colors of scuds. I’m interested in blue freshwater creatures, and I have seen natural morphs towards periwinkle and blue in my scud population, but I don’t have tanks to spare for breeding them.
Living spaces are getting smaller and more expensive, and the percentage of earth’s human population that lives in cities is growing fast. The future of aquaria is in ever smaller creatures. (There’s also a certain segment of us that have always been fascinated with miniatures). Please continue and expand this project, and consider selling your color morphs online. Same for anyone else reading this.
Yes, I know that an uncontrolled scud population can utterly destroy a container full of expensive plants, been there, done that! Control, however, is as easy as one fish. My CPDs can’t fit an adult scud in their mouths, but by hunting the babies, they’ve totally controlled the population I had.
It’s also possible that scuds could be used to process a nutrient-dense plant substrate, but that’s probably already being done more efficiently in factories.
Thia is why I love your channel. You never stop researching and you always update things when you find different info.
Glad you enjoy it! I'm trying haha. Sometimes it takes a while though
I would love to have some RED SCUDS to keep in jars as pets. Keep breeding them!
🎉❤
Hey
Was just researching scuds. Thank you.
Glad I could help. Enjoy the research my friend
Honestly, I dont know why you'd give up. Live foods are the best thing for fish. Having live foods that could possibly increase the color of fish is, in itself, worthwhile. Having a live food source that is also "attractive" in the aquarium is a bonus.
I think "red" scuds would be fantastic. Solely for the average aquarist. Adding a beneficial "layer" to the food web. As well as the biological diversity in an aquarium.
I really think this is a win on all fronts. I wouldn't abandon this project, were i in your shoes. Thats just my thoughts and opinion. You do you, though.
Well I still have them together and all, but as a project for a video... it kinda deflated my excitement when I thought about it all from the end prospective lol.... but I agree with you, I still think it's a quirky strange thing to do, and over all it is a net possitive for the reasons you outlined.
Thanks for your encouragement!
@Fishtory nah, man. Dont get dragged down because a product can be bought. Do what you enjoy, and bring about "cherry" scuds for everyone's aquariums. I mean he'll, I can go to the store and buy bananas pretty cheap. I still like to grow them for myself.
As a side thought. Are azteca any more colorful than pulex? Perhaps hybridization for better color, or other morphs....
Cool!
Ooh! So excited to see someone line breeding amphipods!
I've been keeping an unidentified crangonyx species (courtesy of the ditch around the corner) that has a wide color variety. The dominant wild morph is blue but their colors vary in hue and shade and remind me of mixed/wild-type neocaridina. They also have the variable egg color like neos. I'm hoping the variety is genetic.
I want to try properly line breeding them, but I'm not well versed in keeping many small aquatic cultures.
Whoa! That sounds awesome! I'd love to see them sometimes
It's way cooler that you're breeding a random morph in the scuds to get extra color than using chemicals.
I kind of think so lol... but I'm a little deflated due to the ease and cheap price of carotenoids you can just add to other food
Very cool video. Culturing live food is sonething I'm really interested in. I used to work at a Pond store with a bunch of koi and one guy told me none of the really professional koi breeders feed their fish the color enhancing food because it "blows their colors out" and apparently makes them dull eventually. No idea if that is true or not but he had a 40,000 gallon pond and some of the most beautiful koi I've ever seen so maybe there is truth in that
Very interesting! I'm guessing he means that the rosy colors around the edges of scales and gills that look like ammonia burn or a parasite irritation sort of... that's a really good point though! Thanks
Fun video, thanks for the research
Glad you enjoyed it!
Red scuds!!!! (ngl want some as pets 😂)
Lol yeah maybe just for that reason, I should keep going
Havent tried scuds
but i did find when rearing baby Manacapuru angels the addition of 1 feed of proprietary colour food per day as opposed to just live and frozen brine shrimp, bloodworms, tubifex worms, and mosquito lave ment the fish coloured up 3 to 4 months earlier!
Whoa that's a big change
Oh man… how to get brighter reds on koi fry…
You need to look for better genetics or change your food
Just feed them food worth carotenoids :)
For the first time, i saw a red planaria at a store today (or it was red in the middle).
Likely that they were eating neocaridina cherry shrimp, sadly. Their mouth is in the middle of their body, and they are milky white to translucent, so I've seen them every color of the rainbow sadly.... blue, red or green.... they turn the color due to digesting food that color, in most situations
You should look up *arcitalitrus sylvaticus*. It's a terrestrial amphipod that looks almost identical to scuds.
Im intrigued
So was i
Go pink scuds
Woo woot
That would be such a fun culture to keep!
Aaaand i finished the video.. it was fun while it lasted
Lol
Yes it was fun while it lasted. Still really cool experiment.
Interesting😊
Glad you think so!
Alex do scuds eat shrimp?
Unfortunately, yes, they will eat young shrimp, or weak adults... but only when their populating is fairly dense and food scarce
@@Fishtory thanks, I'm going to starting a daphnia culture in a jar this week. I guess I won't do scuds....
Yeah cyclopse, seed shrimp and daphnia are all more peaceful ...vinegar eels as well
I have the pink and blue ones in my various cultures. Just assumed food availability was altering colors. The majority of food in my tubs is rotting taro tubers. Best long term food I have found so far in my failures lol
Edit: Want to anger the entire house? Use rotting kale lol
Hahaha oh yeah I make infusoria with broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts or cabbage... my wife goes straight to murder mode lol 😆
I bet taro has some good anthocynines in it... blues and purples ( i say this because beets, eggplant, red onions and cabbage all have a large amount, and have similar colors) hahah
@@Fishtory I had some growing in my pond filter outflow that froze when I forgot to turn the pump off and made an awesome icefall... Tossed that in a tub and noticed over the summer that particular tub really produces. Replicating it indoors now for about a month and started actually dipping and feeding from it last week. Going to give it some time off to see, but so far it doesn't seem to have made a difference removing any daphnia lol
🤦 now I have to make pink daphnial ... thanks (i guess) Alex
🤣🤣
Doooo it!
I've been noticing some bright reds to. Been thinking of doing the same but too lazy. Glad you are doing this. I might try separating some.
You should!
I'm very excited about this red scud project, I think there is so much possibilities in creating new breed, colors and variety of scuds like we do with shrimps. Did u ever think about trying to create hybrids scuds? I'm sure many species of scuds are genetically compatible, and it can give born to specimen with new features that can be selected.
I myself started my first scud project after watching your video on scuds, unfortunately I could only caught 4 smalls scuds in the wild and they seem very slow to grow
I have but I just don't know enough about each species... I'd love to meet someone who knows more
I am very interested in enhancing my fish's color, and not at all interested in supplementing with concentrated chemicals. If you got a good line going I would happily drive up to seattle and buy some.
Great to hear it! Thank you kindly... I'll keep working on it i suppose haha. I'm a bit deflated but still working on it
Great topic and explanation…thx
Glad you enjoyed it as well!
Interesting! Never seen any of red ones yet but I’ll keep an eye out :o
Muahaha now you can't help but keep an eye out, I bet. Cheers!
I know you hear it all the time and you need to hear it regularly: man I love your channel!
This is the third time you post something directly related to my research. I totally get you as if some questions itch as inspired by 'psychic fish' as I call them because some individual or group behaviour or characteristics make your observations turn into that curiosity lol But hey you're gonna make us all lazy on researching because you really cover the topic you're discussing from almost all angles.
Those who understand know the extra spark of this channel thanks to your dedication and effort. Cheers man, all the best of results 💖🌟
Thank you kindly. I'm so glad we are thinking alike! That's what this channel is here for. Also, it really shows how slow the whole channel's video "machine" works... because with me being in the hospital most of July, only just now, am I getting back to having the research and projects loaded up and in the works so videos will keep coming out about the strange questions that pop into my mind lol
@@Fishtory please be well; it's priority. If not for you think who's gonna take care of the fish, and by care I don't mean just clean and feed lol all the best brotha
Would adding a couple thin slices of carrots for the scuds to eat help color them up naturally?
Yes yes indeed ... beets or purple cabbage is actually better even though...turmeric as well
@@Fishtory cool and thank you.
🎉 Great video I just subscribed about a week ago.Could you maybe answer a question out of content? Do you remember the simple aquarium plants they use to sell at all aquarium shops everywhere they came in hanging packages and they were sortah hairy looking small pods you just droped in your aquariums ?? Love your channel Im a big fan your brilliant and straight to the point.
The marimo moss balls?
Also, thank you for your kind words and support. Cheers
@@Fishtory no they looked like Java fern and they may be? you just never see them in seed or small pod form anymore .very easy to grow.
I accidentally made food wafers for my scuds by being a lazy bastard and leaving a bucket full of duckweed/cuttings to get nasty. First it got gross, then it dried out into a crispy wafer at the bottom. I snapped off a chip and threw it in the scud culture and they were on it like flies on a cow pat. It also floats without getting waterlogged, so they can eat it for a long time without it rotting.
That's similar to what I've done too! I squeeze out all the water from duckweed in a little net, then dry it near the heater and use those bricks or pucks of duckweed ( duckspucks?!) To feel daphnia, paramecium and scuds
@@Fishtory oh dang, I didn't realize that daphnea could eat that. I thought they were only filter feeders
@C-Hirsuta once it turns to mush they'll pick at the .05 mm size particles
Not me looking at your racks. I build mine and it looked really really similar. Brand wise. Mine bowed instantly. I'm betting my own fault here. Based on seeing what yours are holding up successfully.
Dna of scuds now. Focusing. 😅
0:41 What was that fish? 😮
2:55 Whatttt?!
3:46 We all need that net. 😅 I know. I need to stop lol.
I keep missing lives! Its leaving me with so much to ask!
7:55 At worst smells like my compost bin under my sink? 😂😭 I despise that thing. But, it definitely eats most my excess floaters. 😅
13:10 😱 You're awesome. Thank you for sharing every piece of the science that you found. Genuinely sharing it.
My family is probably so tired of situations like this coming from me. Where it's so interesting to me how it all works... 😅 then I find a top bit to the cause and effect.
They aren't nearly as dedicated as I am. But, I love the small bits of it all. How it works. Why. Its important.
Anyways. Love the video. Main biggie:
What Dna books are you reading dude? I have to know. I need to know how it works according to what we have learned thus far as the human race & get to see how it changes and evolves as we learn more.
Your channel is such an amazing part of that. Will be here to watch the progress with you.
