This man is so relatable in terms of “I will try everything to not do anything”
It’s a special skill really 😂
😂😂
Well this comment made me sub lol 1 minute in
Loser
I can't get enough of these long fish room tours!!! It's great to see other Aussie fish nerds. Loving the content Nick
100 % its great
Nick's face when he learned Bladderwort is carnivorous! I love that no matter how deep you are in this hobby there's always something new to learn. Matt, thanks so much for showing us around. Beautiful fish & plants!
Both you guys are fascinated to watched now I know how to grow plants from scratch 😂
Lovely to see you both am anew bie in fish keeping
If you didn't know about bladderwort, you may not know about SunDew as a land carnivorous plant.
In my opinion, SunDew is the king of carnivorous land plants. Living flypaper that readily reproduces. There are many colors and growth types, so you are likely to find one you admire most. Mine is Drosera Spatulata.
I love his fish keeping. Fish tanks are healthy and he uses natural balancing of tanks to upkeep instead of fighting nature to keep it looking scaped. I'd love to see more fish tanks like this simply because a pristine looking tank does not mean it's a healthy one! He is keeping very happy fish and I'd love to him and his collection from time to time
you are right, white clouds are egg scatterers, tell him to get a tray of marbles in that outdoor tub asap and toss the mop. i raised 300-400 of them in an IBC tub this year with a bare bottom, feeding off infusoria from decaying leaves. nature is great!
My white clouds outside will occasionally have a few fry growing up with them in heavily planted tanks, however put 3 in a small tank with some marbles for a few days then take them out and bam 100's of fry. I'm with you 100% on the old fashioned marble technique
@@courtneyt800 I need to try this method
where did you go man?
@@bekijk233 new job, had a baby, no time for videos right now
How’s the new room?
I'm a total newbie to fish keeping, but i'm binge watching as many fish related videos as possible and this is one of the best yet.
welcome to the hobby!!! :-)
I like his "lazy" style lmao but with that many tanks, ponds, plants, chooks, im sure it's still a LOT of work
Great interview Nick, Love Matts attitude. Im a lazy plant grower and its nice to hear such a successful breeder say he works the lazy way.
I love these long video fish room tours. I always find something new and useful. Cheers Nick
Matt is my fish guy 😁 has always been so helpful, never have enough time with him lol all of my fish I've gotten through him, bloody legend
Cool to see a plant breeder.
Love these long tour videos. I can sit down, watch these fish, watch my fish, and learn a thing or two! Great way to educate. You ask so many great questions, great guide! Thanks a ton.
I love this dude, at the end, he was like I can go on all day if I had enough space.
Another awesome video. Thanks for highlighting other fish breeders in your area. Wishing you great success
Wow! I can't believe that the madness continued into the garden lol. Truly amazing 😊
Amazing to see the fish surviving in these conditions. Probably more natural for them that the pristine weekly water change tanks. Shows how well the plants and algae can keep the water safe for them.
a very clever and talented young man
I rarely have the time or ability to stay focused on long fish Room tours, but the stars aligned today and I really enjoyed your tour of Matt’s home and business. Living in an apt, I can only dream of being able to have room to breed and geek out fish. My only outlet is watching my neocaridinas proliferate.
What a bright guy! I love his outdoor setup. Thanks for this amazing video.
Matt! It worked!!! I used Siamese alge eater, Amano shrimp, plattys. But the ROSY BARBS did it!!!! Thanks guys......
I always killed off any inverts hitchhiking on my plants with a few days in a container with some malachite green. Makes sure there's no parasites or snails on my plants before I wash them off to use in the tank.
That was an information goldmine. I probably got more out of that than all of the videos I've watched in the past. Good sharing.
what a great video what a great bloke both of you are thank you so much
Your content is just what I need after a long hard day on toxic fishkeeping subreddits. Always so inspiring. From a fellow Aussie, keep up the good work!
Awesome video. It's so cool how you are bringing light to other people. Love Matt's guard chickens, lol
These tours are by far and away my favourite FishTube content atm. Learning so much and find the longer form, conversational style, really relaxing! Thanks so much!
Very cool video tour Nick, and thanks for sharing your space Matt! Really enjoy these behind the scenes, inspiration and information both.
This was a minted video, i live in Scotland and can only dream of having so many fish outside as it gets real cold up here, my goldfish are real hardy, i see 5 or 6 inches of ice on top of my ponds some winters so only goldys & rice fish are hardy enough to stay outside, cheers from Scotland 🏴
goodness.. so much knowledge, and such a good attitude, thanks for the tour!
I loved "Goldfingers" knowledge and enthusiasm of the hobby, lil dumpy was a great fish im glad he kept him haha, also man definitely knows his plants which is a cool crossover.
That's amazing how much stuff he has.
I love this cause everyone’s story/journey of fish keeping/breeding usually starts when we are in our single digits of age.
I dream of having the same setup and lifestyle as Matt that was a magnificent setup and amazing 🤩 video thank you for sharing this with us ❤
So much life coming from this video, the tank, the plants, its so satisfying and therapeutic to see these amazing established tanks in the form that they are in... i love this hobby more than words can describe!
Yep, I’m growing more medaka here in Texas. 😊 I had them next to the window, this morning there is a big sack of eggs. 😅
I really enjoyed the tour and learnt a lot about different fishes and aqaurium plant types and their functions. Thanks a lot for that bro. ❤️ from India. 🙏🏻
A good way to get rid of most snails is dunking the plants a few times in warmer water, they just let go xD or a slice of cucumber on a stick theyll bunch up and are easy to pick out 🥰
I love love love this guys set ups! Hearing about all the plants was very nice and than seeing his beautiful backyard with all his plants was very refreshing! I’d love to see a video going through those as well
Totally enjoyed Matts home tour, what a nice guy. It must be nice living in the tropics with so many plant varieties and the ability to have fish outside. Thank you for sharing.
Love what you're doing Nick keep up the great videos! Much love from Perth
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, particularly the outdoor garden area. Mesmerising.
Best 54 minutes of my life ☺️
YOU ARE SAD
Enjoyable and SOOO full of great information! Loved watching the two of you talk shop!
Another cool video Nick, add this guy to a place to visit if I ever get there! Well done!
Love the head bump and how you left it in there lol. I just started a 75g shrimp/small fish tank so your videos (multiples) have been super clutch for me. Keep up the good work!
We are pretty much setting up the same aquatic garage shop as part of our expansion from our reptiles in South Africa. So w e enjoy watching what and how others have done theres, keeping it simple is always key to success.
What an incredible set up! Thank you for showing us around.
Such an awesome video, so much information and tips to take away from! SO MUCH INFOMRATION!😊
Great video and nice to see you connecting to other fish enthusiasts
Matt is so passionate, love it!
Super Awesome video guys. It’s cool to see behind the seems of breeding and the successes and failures. 👍🏼 Keep up the great work.
What a cracking video Nick 👍
Matt sure has a great setup.
Hope you're well.
Stay safe (Keith from the UK).
Wow, what an incredible set up! Loved the plants too.
Thank you for this enjoyable and informative tour. Matt seems like the nicest guy! Thanks, Matt for showing us the ugly tubs, too!
I love the passion all these hobbyist have for their fish.
Excellent content. Love this style of video. Already on my third time watching this video.
Amazing fish room tour nick! This guy certainly has some amazing setups and some super healthy fish. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you
Love it!! It was so cool seeing the chickens and outdoor plants too
I am speechless 😊 and amazed how much he has cultivated in his living space . Lovely video 💖✨✨✨
Want more planted tank videos
Loved this! What a fun tour!
Thanks Matt! Thanks Nick!
So good. I grow my one plants and sell exclusively what I grow submersed and loved hearing him validate all my thoughts. Lol
Fantastic. I'm inspired! Thanks from Minnesota USA.
I really like this guy, I've watched this video 3 times. Very inspiring stuff
I absolutely love this guys style his aquariums look so natural I love it
Kmart tanks are the bloody best ahah, Can't get better for Endler/Guppy/Shrimp breeding for the price
Amazing tour
Great Vid, had to watch it twice. Great example of keeping it simple.
the white clouds may do better for you in cool water in the shade with some almond leaf and more plant cover.
Another great tour video mate, need too start a weekly tour series keep up the good work 👍 🤙
Love this! Great video.
Another awesome home set up and great vudeo
Killer upload!!!
Love it when you do these types of videos!! All of his stuff is so awesome and so cool to see how he grows everything! Amazing!! Even loved the chickens haha!!
Great video can see the guy is passionate about his fish room
a perfectionist's nightmare, but I like it! I would like to live in such a house
This was the best information and so happy it's Australian based.. loved it
Very cool set up. Feeling inspired for sure
Paradise at home for sure!
I love blue silkies, I have a blue silky cross polish bantam and she's a fluffy little madam
Great video, thank you!
Really cool and informative video. Thank you guys.
I love this guy and all he is doing! Would love to meet more fish and plant people my friends and family don't really like what I do and it gets depressing.
The BLUE BOTIA LOACH is a snail hunter, you should try them.
This video is a treasure , thank you !!
White Clouds were the first egg layer I ever bred - about 60 years ago, long before the long fin variety was developed. I had them in a 4-5 gal bucket in my bedroom (I was in high school) with a small box filter or maybe just an air stone, unheated. The bucket had plenty of plants, water sprite and maybe something else. No heater with my bedroom in the winter around 65 degrees F. At that time what I was reading was they did best at 60-70 F and never ate their eggs or young. I kept them for 2-3 years before moving on. 48 years ago I moved into a location with hard water and stopped trying to keep aquariums. That was after breeding Angel Fish for about 15 years.
Very interesting info on the plants. I never had much success with plants and am just now learning why.
This is where you got the “bunning’s” fertilizer idea from and then passed on to us. The Osmocote root tabs, Awsome! Gotta find them or equivalent in the U.s.
Love these videos
Keep up the great work👌
Well, this is a true Fish Guy. Tks, grateful for this video
Aquarium Co-op C.A.R.E Forum introduced me to the most effective way to eliminate hitchhikers and algae on plants:
Reverse Respiration
I intentionally encourage ramshorns, greater radix, Malaysian trumpet, hercules and assassin snails.
The first 4 keep the substrate turned over while also preventing any algae buildup (including eliminating hair algae) and pruning back melt.
The assassins keep the snail population balanced.
I also establish healthy colonies of black worms & amphipods in my tanks before introducing fish.
Pretty much all I do is add food during breeding season and prune back plants, plus top off tanks (~13 tanks right now, plus an outdoor apartment porch pond) I use duckweed to reduce evaporation, and probably top off ~10 to 15 gallons each month.
8 of those gallons go to the outdoor pond
Alweer een leerrijke video. Dank u wel Nick.
Hee Hollander! Tof kanaal he..
@@svenjansen2134 , ik kom uit België.
Yess, so excited for a new vid 🔥🤙
Aussie legend ! Best of luck with the venture.
29:07 convicts, my favorite fish to breed. NICE
Love these aussie legends your finding in our backyard, keep up the good work
Bloke sounds like a Kiwi.
woww greaaaat placee
i hope you enjoy for your job bro
Shoutout to bunnings bags of sand hahaha. Wash well and it filters your tank like nothing else
I like the fish but as a seller I would be mortified if my sell room looked that disgusting. Bugs on the curry plant, that's nuts
I used to have a big snail problem as a kid in the 90's with my tanks. I did some research at the library at the time and picked up a botia of some sort, can't remember what it was but it had some weird hook like thing under its eyes. It went to town hard on the snails. I would hear it cracking snails for days. Then down the road I had no snails at all, they were all gone. I couldn't believe it. The problem with the botia(not sure what breed it was) was that quite territorial and somewhat aggressive toward other fish. I had it alongside guppies, platys, mollys, plecos and a bunch of other fish I can't remember. One day it managed to jump out of the tank and that was the end of the snail eater. I had a really cool looking fish that looked like a smallish dragon that always swam close to the surface, it had a huge mouth. It was fairly calm and never left the surface, always swam up top.
