Remember our bristlenoses loved to hoover them. Corys liked to hide in em too. Thanks for the video! Great to see ya dog made an appearance too hehe
hahahah cheers mate, yeah cant leave him out.
My super red bristlenose would love these
Epic.
The hairy bits on the shell are coir (koi- yur). The fibers have many uses, and are great for potting orchids and other plants that can't tolerate wet roots. If you follow Tanner on Serpae Designs, he glues this to the backgrounds or onto ropes, after it is ground up a bit. Please excuse my enthusiasm for the use of coir in our hobby!!
Awesome!
I just bit the flash off the coconut 🤣
Very cool mate
im re naming you the king of DIY... next is a book i believe
Haha appreciate the sentiment but I am just Blake 👍
Oh man, thanks!
Glad to help!
Firstly good build.
From the point of view of a coconut muncher.
1, the knuckle bits you mention breaking. One of the three is soft, a pocket knife will ' drill' this out and allow the draining of the milk.
2, drop the coconut on the floor- aiming for its equator. It makes a satisfying noise and will split the nut fairly well into two equal parts. The flesh will stay clean rather than covered in sawdust.
3, working from the rim down in to the bottom of the 'bowl' with your pocket knife cut squares and then put the blade between the shell and flesh and pop out bite-sized pieces of yummy nut.
The reason you use your pocket knife is because the odd piece will pop out and fly across the room and mothers, girlfriends and wives all seem to find this unacceptable resulting in banishment.
So, you'll end up outside or in your cave and will need your pocket knife to finish your treat off.
Do not even think of taking a kitchen knife out with you- it just ain't worth it.
🤣 really appreciate all that extra info + humour
Great videos, How long do you boil them for?
Just a few minutes. I usually just put them in, go watch a video or something then take them out
I am eating coconut while watching this video
pains me to see coconut extract and water not consumed , i love my fish but not more than coconut lol
Haha fair call 🤣 i do not share that love
