What's up fish tank people?
Fishtanktv.com, dustinsfishtanks.com bringing it to you on a Sunday.
How is everybody doing?
I hope you had a great week!
I got to tell you, your boy D had a rough week.
I was sick on Sunday still busting out the video.
The fish I will show you in a little bit is feeling better.
A lot of people are asking me and they are helping me get the fish better I was like
"What about me, bro?
I am sick, last week sucked!".
Glad you guys know my fish is feeling better and if you feel people throw me some love
I am hoping I will get better too, that was pretty funny, but it's fishtank people it's
what we do.
Ship got a bagillion plants on Tuesday and then was going through that and realized that
my cell phone wasn't there so some of you might have got plants that looked like they
were open from me.
It is because I had to go through about eighteen boxes, because I thought I packed my cell
phone and shipped it to one of you.
I actually had it stolen, that kind of sucked.
Sick, ship a lot of plants, stolen phone how can we come down from being down here, because
I am a positive dude you got to keep positive.
It's all here!
How do we come up?
We go and we visit our friends at the Newport Aquarium on Thursday.
I had a great meeting with them!
Jeff [00:01:16] , Sally Margaret...they are all there.
Just a warning for me and the roll out the doors for me.
We are having the Cincinnati event , but I did the video that day.
March 15th at the Newport aquarium, you can call the number and I will get a link here
in a little bit, where you can buy discounted tickets.
I am going to be hanging out with fishtank people, Jeff Calls them Fish Heads , shocker
him and I got along he has been in the fishtanks since he has been working at the Newport Aquarium
fifteen years.
Who would have thought that worked out, but it's going to be great.
I am going to be set up and selling plants for two to four hours.
You just got to figure out what then.
Life is good, you know you good the Ying and the Yang and all that stuff going on, but
Newport Aquarium 15.03 folks, really excited about it.
What else have we got going on?

Good bye client jungle that was tough for me to do.
But I had to do it, had to get, had to get it all easy for you.
It is all on one site.
I hope there is no confusion with that.
I told you the sick fish is better.
It is Sunday, you know what that means baby.
"Tiger Style" TIGER STYLE I won't rap the whole Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing
to F with
Tiger barbs!
If you don't know what tiger barbs are, come on what is wrong with you?
Sumatra, Malaysian peninsula, and Asia, there are also colonies in other parts of around
Asia, but they are not shipped there.
They are actually native there.
They just adapted and then like they have been playing there, and then they established.
I actually kept these fish back in the day in Findlay Obio in my first 55, this tank
had like the skeleton dinosaur that brought the bone to its mouth, because that is how
I used to roll.
They were sweet, there was four of them, but they just stayed all around each other and
I had a couple of Rosey barbs as well.
You know I love schooling fish, you know I love fish to do well in their planted tank
tiger barbs.
They say to keep them in a school of six to eight or more.
I am a big fan of schooling fish as you all know.
I will try to keep these in a school that reduces aggression.
When I worked at RMS aqua culture up in Cleveland, shout out to my Brown's friends.
They had these things and a lady had them and said they were meaner than oscars . She
wants to have just a few of them, so tiger barbs do get aggressive, if they don't have
enough school.
The deal with this is they kind of establish a pecking order and then they go throw and
kind of like there is a leader.., they are like a peck of wolves.
They establish a hierarchy and they work through there and the aggression is spread out among
them, and no so much on the other fish.
I have debated about throwing a dozen or two in here and then having them school with clown
loaches as much as they do.
I have never actually seen that in person.
I have seen videos on it.
It's pretty wicked and it makes sense as I have got some clown loaches , right now.
They say they get up to four inches.
I have never seen a tiger barb that big.
If you have and you have got a link drop it on me, because I would look to see a Tiger
barb that big.
They have been bread a bunch , they have got a bunch of them from variety zone two, gold
ones, they got longer thin ones, they got white ones, they got greenish ones.
I like the plain jane, straight up tiger barb they got the little orange spots on them.
When they get older, they get better colors.
Definitely cool, like seventy seven or eighty degrees, set like a lower pH around six.
I think they hardy, they can handle a lot pH higher than that.
That's what i am doing, that's what I am talking about.

15.03 Newport Aquarium really excited about that.
Those folks have been super generous rolling that out.
the conference room it is going to be in is so sick.
Where more than I need, it's like way over kill.
Overlooking the rear area eight foot tank in that one thing.
I did a blog post on it, and I will post a wall.
I want to show you my rainbow as well.
It's like get up here, tripod style.
Which is still weird for me, is it weird for you?
I got this bad boy over here.
I had him in here, where are you buddy?
There he is down there.
You can see him.
He is ready to go back in.
I treated him for four days with the rid ich stuff or whatever.
It is used for a bunch of other stuff.
He is doing well, chilling in solitude, and yes he is feeling better.
There he is.
That's what I am doing folks.
I am having a good time, I hope you are having a good time.
I hope you buy some discounted tickets to the show March 15, definitely going to check
that out.
The first twenty four people get a what is called?
They get a private tour that can only be twelve people at a time.
So you want to signup for that because they just can't have that many people walking around
behind the tanks, talking tanks, talking fish.
I am having fun fishtank people.
Tank on!
Later!
