Not the prettiest, Mountain Redbelly Dace is wild

Great explanation

Hey man, just checking in on your crypto shilling. How's it going?

Can i mix with angels or long finned fish? are they nippy?

I used them years ago No issues with mine when I used them years ago. Less visual equipment in tank If you need a water conditioner and a HOB filled with puirigen or whatever if you need it. I like UGs. May go back to one on my next breakdown.

Color blind and legally blind. I know your pain. I'm hatching brine shrimp and im at a loss

What is the best gravel bed depth?

What the fish name at 14:28. The blue fish that’s does the cool dance?

Champion, I remember when I had three 10 gal tanks on the ground, and they were a pain to clean. I'd use a 15-foot line and run it out my door to keep suction.

In years past when I had aquariums. I had Ug filters in all, great success.But once again its follow the money.Aquarium industry realised they need to dazzle and convince the public of new canister,hang on back, and whatever else they can think of to get your money. Im setting up a new 55 gallon, I have a Sun Sun 302not connected yet, two hang on backs and a sponge filter. 5 small healthy goldfish are helping to create the cycle. I'm waiting on an under gravel to set up properly, and will last for years with little maintenance that will last for years

Nice

I have a few Everglade ones I've imported from the US (they're impossible to find here). They have been super hardy. The only issue I've encountered is getting them to eat. I've tried all types of frozen foods and the ONLY one they'll eat are bloodworms. They ignore every other type of frozen. They'll happily eat live bbs and grindal worms. I haven't had much success with live scuds. They chase them for a bit and then lose interest. I heard they eat small ramshorn snails but haven't seen proof of that, and now my tank has exploded with ramshorn snails lol. But other than trying to find things they will eat, they're an amazing little fish.

I also used undergravel filters for years. When working they are great. But sooner or later something always goes wrong. Broken lift tube, cracked plate, system crash. When that happens you have a BIG mess. No way to replace without moving your fish. destroying your plants, and LOTS of dirty nasty water.

Ive installed mine properly this time,What I done is empty some of the water out of my fish tank,Put the pump a little way out of the water,Other side of the pump in the water,It allowes oxgen to pump in to the water for the fish to survive,Then I leave it for a week for the water to set ready to put some goldfish in,Be interesting watching them swimming about

Are the white, corrugated style with the slits still available? Those were great because they supported themselves really well.

What can i feed my celestial pearl danioas

Been taking care aquarium for over 30 years use underground filters never have any problems try those mechanical filters have problems do not trust them

Please provide the links to other videos in this series.

My under gravel filter tank is thriving in large part thanks to you! Best wishes to you and glad you're doing fulfilling work.

You are an intelligent, well-spoken guy and I enjoy your content. You've always added value to the hobby. I can appreciate and relate to your perspective on life and content creation. No pressure from here, I'll be waiting with notification on for when you do drop something. Cheers!

Yay!!!!

Good for you. Family matters most.

Is that only aqua soil with nothing covering the under gravel plate

Looking to buy some of these fish! Can’t find them anywhere. Never bought fish online before.

Is there an ideal placement of the airstone in the lift tube? Ive scoured the internet and cant find this information. Should the stone be touching the plate or should it be raised up slightly? Thanks ANYONE for any information about this :)

Definitely the best sparring footage and explanation of their behavior on tge internet today!!

too much yap yap yap to fill time.

Just found this video, June 2024. With reference to fry survival, I have to agree with Katalina and say that microorganisms are the best first food for such tiny fry. Your fry died because they starved to death. Paramecium would be the ideal starting food. If you look at the ecology of the species, the places where the parents deposit the eggs, in clumps of filamentous algae, are not only inaccessible to predators, but also rich in infusoria. So the food is there, immediately available when the fry have absorbed their yolk sacs. Makes sense, really.

I have anxiety for you! looks great though!

Great idea....need to give it a try..thanks.. new sub

Hey can you contact me ? I’m heading to Florida in a few weeks and would love to see this spot! You think you can help me locate this area so I can check it out on my way home from the beach. 😊

Hello and thanks for your video. I use canister and HOB filters. But I have always seen the aquarium stores using UGFs. I have come to like the simplicity of the UGF. I am planning in my next tank to use one and I might have an idea or two to try and make it a better Filter. But we’ll see. Much love for UGFs. And thanks again for your vid.

I connected a HOG back filter to my canister filter return hose. Added more biological media. And I have the side that pulls water connected to a tube with an underground filter. My fish are so healthy, as well as my plants.

A question if anyone knows, so is it better to run an airstone "wide open" or let's say medium setting? Is the more bubbles the better even if it's quite powerful and actually creating to much agitation, I have a Betta and they don't like a lot of agitation or water current and I don't want to harm them Thanks

I love these but not even close to the prettiest native fish here. Rainbow DARTER man. Come on hahaha.

I liked my aqua one aquarium that had an underground filter with a power head. The stock light with it wasn't really strong enough for plants, but I did try! I plan on trying again, but this time I have more of an idea as to what plants will cope with the low light conditions.

Whoa, you have me sold!

Why would you make a video about a regulator and not even show it.

So did you just drill holes in the bottom of the container so the water and eggs would drain out? Have a link to those containers? Thanks

Agree 100% with your explanation. Other people want to do it another way, go for it. Your fish will die before mine. It’s going to be a matter of time. Your choice! Good luck

Such a sensitive fish! 😂🤣 👍Earned.

How do you grow the plants? I was considering trying to plant anubias plant. How do you keep the plants in the substrate in the beginning? I've purchased ugf because of your videos

How do you clean your underground filter? I just bought the Penn UGF and am wondering how often to clean it ? I've got substrate and am wondering how to plant the plants? I've watched a lot of your videos , great information 👍

Love this info, thank you!

where was the catch location

Nice bookshelf! Love your selection of titles. Thanks for explaining so thoroughly- one question don’t plants in the water consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen?

your video is more off your face than the fish, can you lessen the video of yourself over the fish, you can do a voice over and the background instead off your face always on focus

Great video and review. Given that they eat live food - any suggestions on how to feed when you go away for a few days or week? There are plenty of vacation feeders for pellets or flakes - but I have never seen any for live food feeding. Any suggestions?

What is the temperature gage u are using?

I'm trying to figure out how to purchase a ugf and want to purchase a good ugf. What do you use to help grow plants? I also want power filter to help, I've got angelfish and aquarium is 29 gallon, please help me figure it out 🙏
