Mine too! I've been reciting lines to myself all day since seeing this 😂

Sure can. I'd cover the top of the tank to be safe

Valid points! I had looked at everything prior to the stream. I'd agree that things were somewhat glossed over, and an entire video could be made on "meal" vs. "Whole" As there are obvious differences. However, while there are differences, I have not seen any data out there that goes into the specific details and analysis of how one is or isn't better than the other. If you have a source that goes into the nitty gritty, I'd love to check it out! Along those lines, it's very difficult in our hobby to really get the truth data on what makes one food better than the other, as that would involve lengthy, time consuming and expensive testing and analysis to provide accurate data. I appreciate your response, and I do plan to dig deeper into various aspects of the topic as opposed to glossing things over, like you mentioned. The stream was kind of intended to get people thinking about what's in the foods we offer our fish, and what really makes one better than another. As opposed to simply taking a large majority of the YT creators opinion that "Food A is the best because it is." Many channels are "sponsored" and supplied with specific foods to hype up on their channels, and I think this leads to quite a bias. I'd love to get someone that really knows the details of fish nutrition to get their opinions and input on the subject! Thanks for the excellent feedback! These are great talking points!

@@All_Things_Fish Data is certainly missing particularly for ornamental fish foods. And I agree that coverage of fish foods is often tainted by commercial interests. I think the best we're going to be able to do is to compare foods based on metrics we "think" are better. For example, if we say that whole is better than meal; the farther in the ingredient list the binders are the better; and the closer the ingredients are to things a fish might actually encounter the better, then we could compare foods objectively. Of course, that assumes agreement on such metrics and that such metrics actually lead to better health. To be honest, years into the hobby I now fall into the "vast majority of foods are going to be fine" group. These days I worry more about whether a food sinks too fast or not fast enough; how long it holds together in the water; and can I buy an amount that matches how quickly I'll feed it so I don't have to throw out a bunch because it's too old.

Thanks, Devan! I hope you found it useful!

I enjoy trying new things! Even though they all function fairly similarly, maybe one of them works better for someone's specific situation than another!

Ward ordered Poret foam from Swiss Tropicals to use for sponge filter media. It works great!

Also my rainbows don’t eat directly off the floor. They will flash their tail kick it up off the floor and then eat it

I've seen my rainbows pick up frozen blood worms off of the substrate if I feed a lot of them at once!

@PodcastwithA.I yes, I do use RO/DI water, since my local tap water is extremely hard and not particularly clean. I use gH booster from NilocG Aquatics when necessary to add a slight amount if gH to my water.

@@All_Things_Fish thanks for the reply

Kelley's kitties are the best kitties, particularly Fat Kitty.

​@All_Things_Fish Cant go wrong with kitties in my opinion!

Thanks for watching the replay! I hope you found it useful!

@@mexicalifishkeeper oh yeah! This was just a smaller room in my current basement that I used before my existing room got put up.

Easy solution, that I still use if I get lazy and end up with a bad infestation!

Cant say I blame you, looks really slick! I decided to hand pick this time and feed it to my chickens. 😋

I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience attempting this. When it comes to using chemicals in/near livestock, whether its fish, plants, humans, etc, Concentration and Exposure Time are major factors. Too strong of a concentration of a particular chemical, or extended exposure time can lead to detrimental affects.

Thanks, Devan!

Thanks Robert!

I'll happily get tanked with you, Whip!

@@elvinsworld11 thanks!

@jodip719 those are HB white tuxedos. Despite being called HB whites, they can of display a little more of a very pale blue. Cool fish, regardless. I have plenty, if you are interested!

@All_Things_Fish I may take you up on that. I had gotten some from a guy, but they ended up with yellow in their tails, which isn't what I was looking for.

@@jodip719 we get most of our fish from fellow breeders, whether that's through online connections, people we have met at events, or the local swap meets! Omaha has a couple swap meets every year, as well as Des Moines. The largest in the area is definitely the Quad Cities swap, though! Buzz me an email, we probably aren't far from each other, and it's always nice to meet like minded folks!

@All_Things_Fish I've gotten a few of mine from another breeder in lincoln, ne a few times. My husband and I did go to the fish swap in omaha earlier this year and waiting for the next one. Would love to check out the quad cities swap next year though! I will send an email to you.

@@jodip719 that's awesome. Sounds great. I look forward to chatting with you!

​@All_Things_Fish I believe I sent you an email through get gills.

@@jodip719 check your e-mail ;)

This will work with clado. As with any algae issue, I recommened manually removing as much as possible before treating.

@ryanresch6925 your plants should be just fine! Exposure time and concentration are key. If you soak a plant in peroxide, it'll do some damage. But if it's just for a short time, the plant should be A-okay. Your crustaceans should be okay! Again...time and concentration are what can lead to potential undesired affects.

@@All_Things_Fish I just got some and will try today! Thanks for the suggestion and detailed explanation.

@@ryanresch6925 happy to help! Feel free to message me on Facebook, comment here, or email me if you have any questions!

@StephenP2003 are you volunteering to do the carbon talk with All Things Fish ?

​@@jeffkane4391I second this motion! Lol

For the most part, my opinions still remain fairly constant in comparison to the discussion in this video. They've changed slightly as products have developed and advanced over time, but the same principles still apply. I'd love to do an entire discussion on carbon in our tanks! I think that there are so few videos on YT about carbon itself(some on CO2, but still not as many as ferts) due to the vast majority of the hobby not having particularly high goals with regards to advancing their planted tanks beyond basics. They are happy with "good enough" for a long time. So a lengthy video on carbon in planted tanks might only cater to a fairly niche market...thus, limiting viewership which many people are solely driven by, unfortunately. Perhaps if someone, or a couple someones, could put together a solid video on carbon in planted aquariums, it might take some of the scare factor out of the subject and get more people's interest in pursuing it in their own aquariums!

@@StephenP2003 you were in the stream anyway!

@@richardreynolds9896 thanks richard!

@@DylanWindsor buzz me an email mike.allthingsfish@gmail.com I will gladly put you in touch with him. He loves to talk fish!

@@DylanWindsor hey Dylan! Buzz me an email! Mike.allthingsfish@gmail.com I will gladly put you in touch with him. He loves talking fish!

Just reviving an old series where I take the meat and potatoes or some interesting discussions out of my live streams! If you've seen all of my live streams, then this should sound very familiar!

I went back and double checked after you mentioned this. It's actually one od the small screens he put on the tote! I had to watch it a couple times before I figured it out! Haha

@@PureAndShrimple thanks Pure and Shrimple! It's due for a good thinning.

Glad you like it!

@@mexicalifishkeeper he does! Buzz me an email, and ill put you guys in touch!

100% real! Not something that happens terribly often, but definitely happens! If you have any questions about flying, I always love talking airplanes and flying with folks.

Me too! He has a good sized pond on his property as well! Next time I am out there, I plan to do an entire video of just what he has going on outside of his house!

Hey Ben! The tetras are alestopetersius sp. Lukeni! I made the mistake of falsely calling them a type of Congo tetra, which they are not. So I edited it out to avoid spreading bad info!

@@devanedwards2193 buzz me an email, and let's talk! I'm always down to chat about fish, and I can help you get in touch with a variety of other folks in the area! Mike.allthingsfish@gmail.com

Buzzed a email I wanted to wait till after labor day, to get back to ya. Thanks.

@@devanedwards2193 e-mail inbound!

I live on the west side of Iowa, myself!

Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

They are pretty neat! They'd probably display a little better color if the background wasn't pink! Haha. I give him crap for it every time I'm over there

I'll buzz you an email, Vin! Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it.

Thanks CTHM! Nice to be back at it.

Hes big on creating hybrid Lillie's. He has some pretty cool ones!
