88 so just crazy to like be talking to the bull sharpest nail still - by the
way it's not so up here doing the family gig family first but I had to bust a
video for you all so I'm sitting there in the family room of the Playhouse I
grew up in Finland Ohio Blanc City baby bringing it to you on a Sunday now look
I got a new species for you while you probably haven't seen before so I'm
excited to share it but first I want to a couple housekeeping notes here last
week I asked a bunch of people which aquarium should I go visit I contacted a
couple of those aquariums yeah your boy DS talking - moving south folks moving
south so if you've got the hookup or you know somebody at a big aquarium drop it
in the comments or hit me with a private message or something like it in every
like yo I'm talking to someone so bah bah bah but we're doing that um got a
big announcement coming next week - got some plans finalized with some of my
people coming in from certain places certain things so get excited about that
next week's video you'll love it and then if you guys are on the Dustin's
Facebook spam page Dustin's fishtanks on Facebook check that out my boy Steve
dropping discus in his pond that's right he's actually moving his pond is huge
and cleaned it out it's got free high temps he's throwing him in there look
whatever man good for him I hope they live I hope they do well
somebody said well read the comments on the Facebook page to me but small areas
comments are just how much of an F Steve gives about that so very fun I hope the
discus slip it looks sweet underneath those lily pads so I'm here
today my dad's got a 55 I had no idea what state of shape would be when I came
up here but I'm thinking to myself I'm like yo D you got a
these people at Sunday so I came up and what I did I brought seven diamond
tetras out of my 125 for my old man I figured my pops need some fish because
somehow he ends up killing them so I got the diamond tenders and the value I
think you guys can take for this video today I want to show if you're a that's
the old school festival grab by the way uh if you're traveling with fish you
want this much water in this much air okay I drove for four and half hours
with the stops and everything to get these fish here now I put them in there
fine as soon as I walked in the door I opened them up and the water temperature
in the back was way different than the water temperature in there and I
actually had one of the dudes was swimming upside down he was looking like
not so hot so what I did is I grabbed a little bit of the declaw remote man
actually had put it in the bag with them and then I added a little bit of tap
water straight into the bag just to get like something different in there
because I didn't want to add his real hot water in there so I did that all the
fish made and I don't recommend doing that unless you're seeing signs of a
sick fish but this is how much air you want a ton of air tonne of air and very
little water here off you have some way to get oxygen pumped in there and so
they're just a nice grab like I just did old-school style do that so definitely
do that I only had five fish in this bag and then like two fish in another one I
actually have one Diamond tetra left my 125 but whatever so I definitely
definitely definitely get a big bag as big as you can if you're going like you
know more than a couple hours get a huge bag very little water a whole ton of air
and use the oxygen if you can so all the diamond tetras made it which I'm
actually pretty pumped about um yeah this tank I was hoping he still had a
four foot strip he doesn't and he still has a monster pleco in here which I
don't know if you all can see it's got a pleco about this big some of you wanted
on my pleco theory but they're on plecos is this plecos are like that guy that's
real quiet you never want to mess which and probably mess with anybody but if
you do mess with them you're going to get walked so wow there's one plot go in
here problem with one pleco being in here it's going to eat all kinds of
plants I brought jungle Val I bought I brought
anubius I brought duckweed I brought java moss I think the anubias might have
a shot but I'm not holding my breath but it's species Sunday so I've got a
plan for you all that I want to make sure you
often check out that can totally handle a pleco a hundred percent this plan can
absolutely handle a pleco you've heard of it
a lot of them come from China a lot of them come from Malaysia a lot of them
come from India it's called plastic Asst artificiales that's right plastic is
artificiales folks we're coming to number of varieties here I've got
plastic Asst Ella dia I've got plastic is jungle ballast area
I've got plastic is hair grass and I've got plastic is bacopa that's right
plastic plants folks I never thought I would be throwing plastic lids down but
my new curt tore down a couple of tanks these are actually some of his old
planted mice I there's a couple of my never actually in here from way back in
the day so I'm throwing some plastic plants at my dad's tank look I'm not
proud of it it hurts my soul to be doing a video pulling the plastic plants but I
kind of think it's hilarious because really all you can do and you got a plug
that it's a full on and if you do have a pleco that's a foot long and you've got
it in a planted tank please please please put it in the comments for me so
I can see what plants are keeping it with I'm not buying it the regular old
plecos footlong going in a planter tank if you've got one send me a link picture
whatever I've got with this I love to hear it cuz of my humble opinion decent
you can't be keeping fans with big locals you just feed them salads so I
also brought some java fern here so that's what I'm doing I will say this
like just from like a maintenance thing or whatever like yo my dad's killing
fish whatever it is what it is um I took as soon as I walked in the door I opened
I opened up the fish bag that did the little treatment on them they're all
doing good all of them made it and they're all doing fine this water level
was here I took it down to about here and I filled it straight back up Findlay
Ohio and Rock County has some amazing water
I still use decore but I did a 50% water change out of the gate just to help an
old man out he's actually not here he's up at Lake Erie drinking his body waking
Bud Lights and sailing whites but whatever so I build that sucker up you
know drain it a little more in halfway filled it back up also his lights ah
these lights check these lights out folks you have some see some legit
lighting like this boom yeah how about a double strip look at that a Crow's and I
actually cleared it off so you guys can see this here because it's just how like
crunk it is to the city near stone which by the way you don't
want to do if you can avoid it keep your lights away from the air stone he's got
the air stone over here so lights the don't even fit the tank I thought he had
a four foot strip I was like hoping it was there I didn't know the pleco was
still around so um you know that's what I'm doing folks listen I got the diamond
touches around I'm probably going to be put some Cardinals in my 125 so get
excited about that um yeah next week big announcement get
