Thanks for the comment! Fortunately wild harvesting isn't legal in many of these places, though poaching does still happen tragically. There are listings of captive bred legal fly river turtles with papers, but it is possible there is shady business going on. I feel captive bred options would have to be more abundant before a person should feel comfortable pursuing one as a pet.

Ohhh it does look that that 😂 I’m not positive but I think that may be a soft shell turtle, those are a lot more fierce and carnivorous.

@@patrickprudhume8837 ohh very interesting! Duckweed is a lot smaller than frogbit, duckweed is smaller than a pinky fingernail normally while frogbit is a lot bigger than that, as big as a baseball or bigger.

That’s super cool I didn’t know that 🙌 we just found it going through Kevin Macleods stuff

@@mrjonesyyy I respect the priority 🙌 why not include the wildlife with something that we also find beautiful? Local animals often make them their home 🙌

It's actually pretty convenient because mosquitos can't grow in flowing water 🙌 and if you were to have a large enough pool of water that moved slowly enough you could always put mosquito fish (livebearers similar to guppies) or mosquito fern (the worlds smallest species of fern) in the pond and they will totally control mosquitos I think.

@@blackkoiwaterfeatures Are you sure about the moving water part? Wouldnt it always have some stagnant water somewhere at the corners?

@@ReneGamper Yep! The only way i've seen mosquitos grow in a water feature is if the pump is off or isn't working

They really do add a lot to the space! Thanks so much ❤

Get a kiddy pool dig it into the ground and get a water pump and some rocks. Bam easy DIY pond and costs like $60 and would take a day. Its a start right, maybe replace it with a better one when you can afford it etc

Most water features need water treatments or some regular maintenance, either in the form of plant removal or water treatments. In this system, you need very little plant management because the plants are slow growing and there aren't fish adding nutrients to the system, and algae doesn't normally grow any more then is seen in this video because the plants compete with the algae and there aren't many nutrients in the system feeding the algae to begin with. Of course if it is in an area where branches or leaves will fall into it those ought be removed, but thats for anything where leaves and sticks fall into it really.

@@syon600 yes that’s right 🙌 some people pull water from nearby streams or ponds and then cycle the water back but this has certain complications and legal restrictions

@@blackkoiwaterfeatures it's just that it's being portrayed to be 'maintenance' free when it's constant electricity bill

@@syon600 The whole point was that it doesn't cost a lot of time to maintain specifically. No water features are not cheap in any capacity unfortunately.

@@Westbound100 so true the plants are a ton of fun 🙌

@@norasanchez2348 yes we build these 🙌 essentially they are just rocks liner and a pump that recirculates the water. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to make a guide but aquascape has some I think and other people do as well. Definitely do research first though because fixing issues down the road can be almost impossible depending on what it is 🙌

Kits available on Amazon! Loads of options.

@@itscommonsense3128 ohh that sounds awesome! Animals often do love these

@@Cubano1986 😂 well the reason you don’t want to put fish in this type of water feature specifically is because if the pump goes out all the water can drain below the false bottom of the water feature and the fish can dry up 😬 I’m sure one could be designed for brook trout though 🙌

@@blackkoiwaterfeatures so what you're saying is automated fish jerky

That’s true! This water feature grows the amount of algae you can see in the water feature. This water feature, and other like it, happen to only require about an hour or less of maintenance a year as long as it isn’t in an area where a lot of stuff will fall into it 🙌

@@kensebring3683 Aquascape has a vendor located for their affiliates on their website 🙌

Many kits available on Amazon! They're super easy.

@@dicas1988 for us a water feature like this would be between $6,000 and $18,000. It depends on what materials, how much rock, and how many days it takes our crew 🙌

Basically, by cleaning the surface, using flat brackets, screws, and a ton of silicone.

Thank you! 🙌

Thats super cool! I agree 💯

I agree 🙌

Thanks so much I’m really glad to hear that 🙌

Yeah 😊

Thanks so much!

No problem:)

Such a cute name!

Ohh clever! I like it

Lol I like it! Softie is a good name for an animal with a soft shell and a fierce attitude.

Haha names that sound a bit like human names are fun!

Little Leo! I like it

Lol a name that comes with a warning, very good!

@@luciaelhelwa8897 I love that! 🙌

@@stephenfazekas5054 ohh definitely 🙌 they’re important parts of the ecosystem, the cuteness is just a happy coincidence 😂

@@PinkyFlawless haha that’s very cute! I like it!

@@josephzawistowski8916 those are great 😂
