what up fish tank people fishtanktv.com dustinsfishtanks bringing it to you on a
Sunday yeah species Sunday it's two for one two from one species Sunday I got
two things I want to show you today actually three I'm going to show you the
bonus first how about that Brian's over here is always on a Sunday
helping me out cleaning out the tanks is this tank look fowl but guess what
happens when you're clearing a foul tank you find some babies where they a
brother got some baby rainbows in here that um where this tank was downstairs
originally those real tiny rainbows I don't know if it boesemani or Mela
Tenaya for the Fred Ricky's oh man oh they can see that little guy coming at
us there's one yeah say little dude zoom in there guys you see that so uh there's
two is two of them over here okay yes it definitely got some babies in here which
we're kind of excited about we're also kind of like great now I got to take
care of some more fish because we had so many thanks and what I just get them
going so I wanted to show that this is by the way a perfect environment for a
big fish more or less I mean airstone lots of just like algae to eat on and
just plant just off they can just go down there and housing all right so it's
definitely good stuff that's the that's a bonus part let's get to the meeting
potatoes let's head to the table show a little something about Anubis Brides
over here and he knows his stuff about anubias like more than anyone I know so
I definitely want to have his input on this video a lot of people been asking
me about how to split up tanks how to split up sort of tanks what up boss
species so we're going to show you how Brian would do it you had a tank that
was only anubius for quite long do you still have that all new via serviette
other species there's a few other species alright alright but yeah for the
most part pretty much like just I mean anubius propagating it the old 125 I
have inside we actually took all my existing anubius and spread it out one
time and this is how we did it here so I'll walk us through a bra you got the
main you find the main kind of artery of your plant and this is out of Steve's
tank by the way this is doesn't like come to me like this or anything okay
yeah you find your big main rhizome here and what I was trying to do is cut right
beyond it so now we're using a razor blade here we're not using scissors
right yeah razor blades going to give you a really clean cut on it
then once you cut it and you just kind of pull it apart pull the roots part and
that's a piece you can split that in half if you want them how far how far
down could you split that like that little piece we just took off there how
many pieces could you really break it into if you were desperate you were like
I got one piece of anubias I got to turn into it like six I think you'd probably
get four out of us comfortably for a show show where they
would be I mean we're we're winging it here because you know it depends on what
you're trying to do with your aquascape or whatever but like you got the little
nodes yeah you could probably take these first three leaves here I would cut
right between them right in front of the third leaf that's gonna give you that
three there and then I would cut again here at the middle where it's kind of
starting to bend a little bit I would cut it here that would give us about
five leaves here and we're looking for natural breaks - I mean spots where it's
you know that's exactly right and then on this side you can kind of see where
it's starting to shoot up this way you cut it right there in front of that
that's going to give you for peace if you're desperate you could cut it again
here but probably won't leave this piece alone and then what do you do with the
leaves that look so so when you cut it you leave them on there till new leaves
come on nucleus I don't ever take off the leaves I always leave it on the
plant will absorb the nutrients and thyme is even with the believes looking
Krunk on like an Amazon sword where you would want to take off the leaves and
new leaves would be coming up exactly myself I've always just left them on
there because they're so slow growing even a leaf like this is going to do
some good on a new visa Commission so yeah keep cutting man show a little this
all right so we got that on this one here the plant started growing off on
its own little angle here so we're going to split down here at the base
and pull another piece there you want to make sure you're leaving roots on all
these pieces if you take a cent that many roots it's going to be a lot harder
if you get it going again and then what do you do with the roots bro would you
keep them long because I'm a trimmer but myself I like to leave them longer I
guess you could trim them but the plants already grown to absorb nutrients I
wouldn't really want to take them off of the anubius since they're so slow yeah
all right this one here is kind of difficult because it's like a big game
SG seeing you know we've actually got two plants here together I think and for
me I just be yanking of the bride's like now I get a razor blade to a right so
yeah and there's there's mixed debates on that some people say like certain
plants you want to cut and certain you want to rip this plant here was already
two pieces this wasn't even show that all right by the way these will be going
out and some orders here in a little bit so good for you yeah dude we got this
show that and then I want to talk absolutely turn that into one two three
four yeah alright peace here can still be split in half so that could still be
going but I mean you guys get the idea they're coming along I mean that we just
you know break that I made it stand so that's how you do a newbie Asst I want
to talk about the other species here I want to talk about Kleinert bar swords
which by the way is available on aquaticjungles right now I have a piece
of paper somewhere I wrote down with the variety between the two our hotel right
there here we go it's a cross had to look it up it's a cross between account
of doors Bart the eye and condors jörgen insists I don't know if I
pronounced was right and frankly I don't care but Connor bar sword
I like these swords listen folks if you've got a dirted tank like you owe it
to yourself to get a big six sword you really do because they're big heavy root
feeders love eating all the excess nutrients you know are not excess
nutrients they're they're big heavy root feeder
hence the heavy roots and I've got a whole big thing on roots I'm going to do
here in a little bit but on this plant as far as dividing I'm actually not
going to cut it but I just want to show this would be one that could
be cut if you needed to really do it see how it's kind of got and point out kind
of what I'm talking about here so where where would you cut this briar we've got
Kyle we're talking about maybe cutting it here kind of getting this piece off
here exactly I pull the leaves out a little bit you can kind of see where the
plant would match the natural breaks that's what you're looking for and if
you don't have it don't do it like it's like we're not I don't want to cut this
because I don't want it's not ready yet so it's actually connected but
somebody's going to get a nice fat sword in a couple weeks they can put in a two
but that's how you would with breaking it up I will set in anubias a a Condor
bar sword or any Amazon swords check out video 3:30 3:30 - I can't talk today 322
I did another species Sunday on a bunch of swords a while back I like the Conor
barb sword available on aquaticjungles excited about it have these real red
leaves in the middle and these will actually once they get into a good
substrate become the main center all the leaves to come out and then once they
get older they have like they keep the green on the ends you got any thoughts
on the carnivore sure to keep them herd out of it a real big one for awhile
didn't he is that an ocelot they get bigger the guys along yeah so person
that's what we're doing and oh by the way we're getting the 125 roll in here
we got all these plants over here we got some onions in the face right here
onions on aquaticjungles now I'm rocking this kind of jungle Val I'm real pumped
about it so I'm just having a real good time I wish the temperature would either
stay hot or stakeholders I'm like back and forth being sick so that's what's up
people having a lot of fun cut up your anubias cut up your kind of doors if you
can later
