Hey everyone, how are you doing? You got Mike here today and this is it. This is
the day that we've all been waiting for. Our big fish is going in the tank. So
we've actually done a lot in preparation for this tank especially within the last
couple days making sure everything is absolutely spot on for this fish. We
don't want anything to go wrong so we put a lot of time into making sure that
everything is 100% correct before we even add the fish in there. Now one of
the good things about waiting this long is that we did give the plants time to
root into the ground which is pretty awesome.
I can see with the Quadricostatus has actually got some nice runners
now and it's actually starting to fill up pretty nice which is awesome .So
without further ado let's get our boy in this tank and see what happens because
this could go either really good or really really bad. So without further ado
let's check it out.
Well it's been about two hours now and nothing much has really happened. He's
kind of just been sitting there so I think it's gonna take
a little bit longer. He was pretty upset about the net. When I went to grab him out of
the tank and he seen the net he immediately started playing dead and
then kind of tipped on his side and then realized he was going sideways cause
there's quite a bit of circulation and he had to kick himself over and then kind
of stop playing dead for a bit; but, I thought it was pretty entertaining. The
fish is that afraid of the net. Unfortunately we couldn't put him in a
pillowcase which maybe would have been a better idea but I didn't have one that
was not cleaned with like fabric softener or something like that. I
wouldn't want to put that in contact with my fish. So let me just wait a
little longer and see what happens. No destruction yet.
So it's been about three days now. We gave him three days in the tank and the
tank is still totally fine other than the little bit of Amazonia soil you see
on the Colorado sand. That's just due to his tail
you know when the fish is trying to swim across the tank or when he give a quick
dart across the tank. He still hasn't really explored the other side much. I
did catch him on the other side when I came in the room. I went to turn on the
camera and he hightailed back to the cave. I think this fish is way smarter
than we give him credit for and he knows when the cameras on because when this
cameras on he just sits there. Why are you doing this to make Keyko? Give me some
good footage, give me some good footage. I think we're gonna have to trick him and
install a camera in the tank so it's there all the time and then we're really
gonna get to see what he's doing because he's just giving me the evil eye right
now and trying to fight me through the glass. I put my hand in there and he came
at me, the first time Keyko has ever come at me. I think he's still a little upset
about the whole net thing. So alright so it's time that we have to give a
couple of big thank-yous for making our Keykee a beautiful natural home. So I do
want to give Kevin a big thank you once again, Kevin amazing this tank turned
so good thank you very much for for all your help with this. Next we're
gonna go to the guys over at Coral Vue for the Giesemann lighting. Giesemann
lighting all the way. Come on these lights are just absolutely amazing, super
powerful and they're just doing an amazing job so far with this tank .So
next we're gonna go with the co2 system. The CO2 system came from NilocG
Aquatics. You guys probably already know them from Thrive. I really love this
company I highly suggest you guys to go take a look at the at the website and
stuff they carry in fact go check out all the manufacturers here that we're
going to be talking about here in the next few moments. So next is Hydor. So
obviously you guys know that we really do llove our Hydor units. Our
whole fish from basically ran by Hydors now which is pretty
awesome and just there, just ultimate units.So we really appreciate that, so
thank you guys very much. We also do have the soils and stuff that
came in, these are the ADA soils. So we actually got the soils from the
distributor and our local ADA retailer who was kind enough to help donate some
of the the sand and the substrates so that's very much appreciated, so I want
to thank you guys personally too as well for that stuff. And then we have our
plants which basically, you guys know the plants came in from John over from the
plant guy and Leo from the aquascaperoom.cs. So theplantguy.ca
nd aquascaperoom.ca. I will put all these links down in the description
below. Now the only thing left to do is basically just let our fish enjoy it. So
I would like to thank everybody who's been with us the whole build, journey and
you guys all have yourself a great day.
