Maybe add another 4 minutes of feeding and showing a few clips of your current fry. Bring the video length up to 8 minutes, then you can put an advertisement in. Ad revenue is a big part of income for a channel your size.
Living up to your channel name! Perfect style of video for people to discover fish keeping tricks/tips. "Simple" How To's - keep them short and to the point and I think they would make a great series for your channel.
Great method. We are not only cleaning our filter, but reusing it as good for fry. What i've seen aswell is keeping different buckets, with diferent ph and conditions, so they will develop different lifeforms, increasing the biodiversity of the food.
Was a little skeptical but keen to check this out. Cleaned out a canister filter today on my Blackwater tank. First clue that it may be full of infusoria was the big gold laser Cory fry that was living in it. Put the water and filth in a bucket and let it settle for a cpl of hours. Pipetted some water off the top and was about 10x as thick with infusoria as I get from the standard methods of making it. Thanks for the genius tip. Currently have some very happy dwarf neon rainbow fry :)
Dude I gave up looking for a simple tutorial for culturing infusoria. You posted this just in time for my tetra breeding!!! Great video as always! I love the new style.
Holy crap. I never knew it was this easy to get infusoria. I could have fed my fish fry using dirty filter water all this time but i just throw them out. Heck, I could have use that when setting up new tanks. Wow. Thanks for sharing
What I did resulted in much more consistensy. I bought a paramecium culture online. Boiled some wheat berries, put them in with some newly. dechlorinated tap water, and added paramecium to a deli cup. Repeat every 10-14 days to make sure your culture doesn't crash. I always have infusoria, can see it, and can always get it without all the extra gunk!
I love these simpler videos and seeing that you have been able to release a lot more consistently lately then when you do the more in depth ones that definitely need way more of your time.
Game changer! I had problems breeding Paracheirodon axelrodi for so long as I was not able to feed the fry properly. With this method it worked (although its only 7 which survived..).
Hey nick, i noticed you’ve been doing a few tours of peoples fish rooms recently, i would be curious to see what Arcy aquariums at burleigh heads looks like now after your video almost a year ago it is a beautiful place !
mate, great vid as usual! accidentally bumbled onto this cycling new filters . after a few hours in a small container using a small foam filter, the water cleared and noticed beasties were buzzing about, so threw in some soaked yeast, and bingo. its the easiest fastest no cost method ever. water from the same tank, filter goop, yeast = beastie s by the billions. other blokes online showing your method now! well done.
I really need to try this with my Nothobranchius. I use your yeast method of culturing infusoria, and it works really well. But this looks even quicker and easier. I'll take a look with a microscope tonight and see if I get the same results
That is absolutely brilliant, Nick. I think I may have been doing something like that all along without even realizing it. I recently set up two tanks for Kribensis juveniles and in doing so, I put a sponge filter into each that had been sitting and working in tanks that the Kribensis had come from. I filled the tanks about half full with water from the Kribensis' original tanks as well. I figured it's already seasoned. But then I ended up taking the sponges from the hang on back filters and squeezed them into the tanks just to add what I thought would be more beneficial bacteria just to kickstart the tanks a bit quicker. I never even thought about the "edible" microbes I was introducing! I always love it when someone can make sense, and put into perspective things that we take for granted. Good on ya, mate!
Awesome tip, I'm definitely going to be using this. I'm guessing I can boost and extend the life of the culture by dropping in some of the dead leaves from my aquarium plants. Super easy, thanks for sharing.
Just subscribed, trying to breed my angel fish, I have 4 pairs but they keep failing at fertilizing. Thank you for your videos. I made your micro worm culture and watched allot of other ones. Doubt you read this but I appreciate you
Well bugger me, all those canister filter cleans over the years and I could have been feeding my fish with the dirty water. I am about to try and raise some CPD fry so I will be trying this method :)
Definitely a better option than grabbing some pond water or leaving some grass/moss to ferment in water. I tried those directions before and ended up with a million hydra. Luckily adult gourami will eat those up in a day :) This is a great alternative.
@@elijahelkins3264 they are tiny creatures related to jellyfish, that have a little stalk on a foot and a bunch of waving arms with nematocysts on them. So when fish fry touch them they sting them and immobilize or kill them. If they invade a tank there's a few types of fish that will clean them out and gouramis are one. Just do a search for 'freshwater hydra' on here to get an idea of what they look like.
Question. If you have already have an established sponge filter in the tank that you put the new fry into can the fry eat directly off that sponge filter or should you do this pulling off of a more populated aquarium sponge. Thanks
OR.... you could just give the filter media a squish directly in the tank and let the debris (and infusoria) settle in the fry tank? Anyways great video, thanks! 😄
If you boil a handful of grass or vegetable scraps and add the water and boiled scraps to your bucket, it will sustain very heavy infusoria production for many weeks. This is how I culture dense populations of ciliates for my high school students to view under the microscope, and to feed my fry.
I’ve done this and set up just a microorganism tank, the idea is so i can feed it to my fry. But i guess i’m just paranoid, i am always scared that what if that is not enough for the fry.

Let me know if you like this style of video. Really ripped it back for this one and did it 'home made'.
I like it.
Love these. Not much cinematic value with gunk and microorganisms, and lovely information is always something I'm needing lol
Mee too
This is the way I love to see your videos very detailed and a easy way like your old videos ❤ love it

I really like these shorter very informational videos. I’m sure they are easier to make so if you made more of them i’d be here to watch👍

Your an expert now! Good work
Wow! I'm thinking I could even squeeze a gunky filter into one of my "Resurrection Jars". I love this!
Life changing.
Good idea mate and if you put an almond leaf and a couple of snails the culture will self sustain.
I had made a lot of water changes in my life, I also say why didn't we know it beforehand. Good job.
Game changer! I had problems breeding Paracheirodon axelrodi for so long as I was not able to feed the fry properly. With this method it worked (although its only 7 which survived..).
Great video! Thank you for sharing how to do this.
I really like how your straight to the point ... really enjoy your videos. Thanks for all the insight and tips. You da man 👍
Simple, short videos in a frequent rate, thats what I want to see again and you did it
Brilliant simple idea Nick
Hey nick, i noticed you’ve been doing a few tours of peoples fish rooms recently, i would be curious to see what Arcy aquariums at burleigh heads looks like now after your video almost a year ago it is a beautiful place !
at this point i dont care what u say in your videos..... the way u talk ...omg its so soothing
I thought it was just me, sometimes I don't even watch but listen!!!
mate, great vid as usual!

Just briliant! 💪
Thank you for keeping it so simple this way anybody can do this
Nice and straight to the fact with out all this and that.......
Thanks

This is the best tip I've come across in a long time. Maybe this will help me raise Betta Hendra fry. Thanks for sharing!
Love your vids
Awesome tip, I'm definitely going to be using this. I'm guessing I can boost and extend the life of the culture by dropping in some of the dead leaves from my aquarium plants. Super easy, thanks for sharing.
With gouramis I some times just breed in a tank wih "diry water"... gouramis are awsome
Thanks Nick! very nice to see how you can make it "simple" and best wishes for your gourami breeding.
Good stuff! Thanks!
Thanks for this, it will come in handy with future batches of tiny killifish.
Just subscribed, trying to breed my angel fish, I have 4 pairs but they keep failing at fertilizing. Thank you for your videos. I made your micro worm culture and watched allot of other ones. Doubt you read this but I appreciate you
Love your videos sharing all the knowledge you collect with the years. ❤
Finally, something I won't fail at!
Love it mate.
This is so simple and such valuable information! I love your channel!
That could not be simpler - thank you! PS: Did you apply light over top or not?
i love all of your content ,, the short and long videos .
Thank you so much for the idea. I’m gonna try this with duckweed….. I will update my response as soon as I see how it goes lol
Thank u!! Love this kind of concise direct video 👏❤
Thanks a lot bro ❤
KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid is my motto. Thanks for sharing. I will be using this method soon.
Thank you for your tutorial is useful..awesome idea bro
Thanks for this mate,always nice to get the little secrets.
❤ thanks brother
Great job on your vedeos. You are a great inspiration! Thank you!
Great video! Do you keep the lid on? Or just leaving the bucket open and topping off from time to time?
VERY-GOOD EXPLANATION VIDEO SHOW :)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing!!
thanks brah
Wow! what a great video, thank you for sharing!
Great video, very informative. Thanks, Gary
Love your vids Keeping Fish Simple❤❤❤ keep up your work
brother its THAT simple? holy
i actually did use your last video to culture infusoria and I looked at them under a microscope.
Thanks I’m going to feed this to my Daphnia so I can feed my bigger fish lol
Holy cow that was awesome i knew there was a use for that stuff
Awesome knowledge… great video 👍🏻
Awesome trick, thanks nick!
Well bugger me, all those canister filter cleans over the years and I could have been feeding my fish with the dirty water. I am about to try and raise some CPD fry so I will be trying this method :)
wow amazing
Great info and video mate!
Hi I'm your new fan
Can you make a video on how to breed pygmy cories? Thank you.
Thank you! So much better than the smelly rotting lettuce leaf in a jar on my window sill!
Cool.
Very cool method.
Definitely a better option than grabbing some pond water or leaving some grass/moss to ferment in water. I tried those directions before and ended up with a million hydra. Luckily adult gourami will eat those up in a day :)
This is a great alternative.
What are hydra?

@@elijahelkins3264 It a beast with many snake heads
Nice tip thanks!
Bro what if there's bad worm eggs or fungi in that water along with the dirty water
Harika ve bilgilendirici video olmuş.🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏✌️
With this suit all species of fish
You should try gold fish breeding
Nice
Wow thats cool, is that necessary for guppies too or no?
Nice info. Cheers.
top tip nick. I will definitely nick it 😆
Superb, I’m gonna try this method out. 👍 Have you tried this with your rams?
Question. If you have already have an established sponge filter in the tank that you put the new fry into can the fry eat directly off that sponge filter or should you do this pulling off of a more populated aquarium sponge. Thanks

🇩🇰🇩🇰🤩🐡thanks for info love this videos🇩🇰🇩🇰
Do you think adding some yeast would help?
If you boil a handful of grass or vegetable scraps and add the water and boiled scraps to your bucket, it will sustain very heavy infusoria production for many weeks. This is how I culture dense populations of ciliates for my high school students to view under the microscope, and to feed my fry.
I’ve done this and set up just a microorganism tank, the idea is so i can feed it to my fry. But i guess i’m just paranoid, i am always scared that what if that is not enough for the fry.
I am doing it for years ..
By adding a cup of the dirty water, won’t that up the nitrates? Ammonia? In the fry container?
Can you culture daphnia in a bucket with moss too? Can you culture both together in the bucket?
How do you stop air lines and filter pipes going mouldy? Then with said mouldy pipes - how do you clean them? I’m allergic to mould so can’t leave it
Can I add more filter juice into the existing jar? Would I have to add more yeast?
Does putting the lid on help with the smell? I'd like to try this method but don't want to stink up the house.
Can you do a video on the walstad method
We gotta see the bettas
