Have a great week everyone, and thanks again for watching!!
Video turned out great
Thanks Matt!! Thank you for showing me around 🐟🌿🙌🏻
@ anytime
This was a great tour, Matt. Everything is looking fantastic. There's a guey here in the Pacific Northwest - Washington State I think who grows aquarium plants as well. He's got some neat propagation processes. Here's his link in case you're not already aware of him: www.youtube.com/@AquariumPlantLab Tanks care, and have a fantastic weekend! ~Ron
@ yeah I’ve seen his stuff he has a great setup
I enjoy watching you with your own fish and your fish-related world travels, but I think I appreciate these quiet visits with Australian fish-keepers the most. Introduce us to more as you can.
I can most definitely do that!!
Great work! I look forward to watching you set up your aquariums in your new home. You are up and coming thats for sure!
Guppies outside look incredible, even here in Nova Scotia, Canada. I love bringing them inside to see what gems I got year to year. Great video, I love Matt's setup thanks to you both. Cheers!
Great video, matt's knowledge on plants is unbelievable
It seriously is!! That man can grow plants 🤣
I really enjoyed this video. I live in the United States but love Australia. This video showing his ponds and the native critters really made me happy. Thank you so much.
Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😊
“Water lilies are like supermodels of the pond world”…simply brilliant…I learned…I laughed…I liked…thumbs up!
🤣🤣 I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊🙏🏻
Great video with 2 of my favorite fish people … thanks guys 🙏❤️🙏❤️ 🐶😎🇦🇺💪🏻
Awwww, thank you AB!! 🙌🏻🐟🐟
This was great Kaity. Thank you for all of your hard work. Much appreciated!❤
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊🙏🏻
What a fun video! I really enjoyed this. 😊
Very cool tour Kaity! I have seen Matt's setups on Nick's channel too and it still looks fantastic!
Thanks heaps JT 😄🙌🏻
hey!! that's my fish guy
This wqas a beautiful tour, Kaity! Thanks for the share. ~Ron
This was a super rad home tour! So many great ideas. Last summer I couldn't make green water to save my life, so I'll have to try a root tab for a nutrients flood!
Yes give it a go!! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😄🙏🏻
Great video Kaity! Loved the tour. I’m loving dudes backyard. Loaded with the plants.
Kaity is like the grandmom going around visiting all her children's homes
Awesome Video Kaity !
Incredible Set up
Thanks for sharing
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😄🙏🏻
So knowledgeable enjoyed watching
That bloody Christmas Day tornado!! I lost my pond fish but was able to save my tank fish!! Just getting back guppy numbers now!! 🙌🏽⭐️
Thank goodness, I'm glad you could save some!! That was a nasty weather event 😓
Keep doing your thing Kaity👍
Thank you 😁😁
Definitely admired his plant collection and it works for his no water change style. I never been able to keep my plants alive because I keep my tank at 86-88f so it's too hard.
Those frogs are adorable!
It was a nice sharing, my friend.
Great video Kaity 🎉 such an inspiration to try some of these methods in my fish room, thank you for all your hard work!
Thank you!! It definitely gave me lots of inspiration too seeing all of Matt's awesome setups. I'm glad you found it helpful 😄
Hey gorgeous, you should definitely do a video with "Ididathing" in Australia. I'm sure he could think of extremely interesting ways of catching/trapping fish. Love your content. I could watch you all day every day. Keep up the great work 💜💜💜💜💜
I've always liked the idea of a pond in my yard, I wonder if I can do one of those above ground ponds, but where I live it does get down to zero in the winter, absolutely loving your channel, lots of different things to see
Yes, it definitely makes it harder when you get sub zero temperatures. You might be able to do it with cold tolerant species like rice fish 🤔 And I'm so glad you're enjoying the content 😊🙏🏻
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Hope all goes well with the new house.
I look forward to seeing your new 8ft cichlid tank and monster fish pond
😁😁😁
backyard goals! no ponds yet, but have some stock tanks x2 50 gal and some smaller planning to fill them come spring, might start a bit earlier to cycle a bit in the cool months fishless to grow some algae and bacteria
Great video, Kaity!
Thank you 😁😁
I wish i had just a fraction of the ability to gorw plants, over here i dunno if its my water parameters but theres only certain plants which i will have any success with. But those tht do grow well go absolutely nuts. Very jealous of this guys tanks / ponds. Might be inspiration to try some of those mini greenhouse tubs
gorgeous video kaity.
this no water changes room reminds me lucas ( from Florida) ...both rooms are super natural.
i only add water to my fish tanks ( four ) .i have a lot of plants like a jungle 😮
hello goodbye from miami 😊
Yes Matt reminds me of Lucas too!! They both have a knack for plants and a more natural way of doing things. That's cool you do it a similar way too 😊 And hello from Australia 😁👋🏻
i got a horticulture degree but everything i learned was from volunteering and working in the industry lol
Mate I had three of those frogs in my pond or at Redcliffe last year and my neighbour in the 3 story unit across the road, bedroom top floor said to me what's the bloody frog in your backyard doing its so loud?
Try sleeping 4 metres away from them and tell me how loud they are... 🤣 I feel his pain with that many hopping around ❤
Thank you someone who gets me 😂
Nice explain love your videos African cichlids ❤
Thanks guys, Mat, you are a wealth of knowledge! 🫶🇦🇺
I know this is going off subject, but if you get a bit of free time, there is an old film with different stories called
"Dr. terrors House of Horrors" and episode 2 "creeping vine" is about an intelligent plant ! It's a classic.
(It pales in comparison to the "triffid" you have escaping from your sump, though) 😂
Oh I will have to check it out! That sounds interesting 🤔🤣
Holy poo, TURTLES, they climb... I have two of the little pricks and they are pretty docile around me :)
But when I'm cleaning their tub, they run off and start climbing!
KAITY MOVING TO A FARMMMM! lets gooo
Awesome Kaity
Kaity I saw the comment you left on Paul Cuffaro's channel about trying to get to 100K subs. Si I sub'd and am glad that I did. Found this really interesting, thank you.
The only time I do a water change Is when I clean the canister filter out, and then I only replace the water that is in the filter that I used to clean the filter media out about 8 litres of 250 litre tanks
"They're named ironically as far as I can tell" 😂
🤣🤣
Those little frogs are cute though. Maybe Matt can use some noise-canceling headphones 😂
I agree 🤣 they're so cute 🐸
I just watched. Wonderful
I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
I never knew australia had tornadoes.😅
All the people living in camper vans/ trailers has attracted them 😂
Can you show a photo please of the root tabs from bunnings please 🙏 thank you kindly 🙏
So cool
What soil / substrate do you use in the the green house
The cheapest one from the hardware store/ garden centre
Difformis refers to two forms of leaf, the emerse and submerse forms. Di meaning two. It would be De if it was referring to deformity.
Thank you Bree!!
Flying to the Carribbean to find the real natural guppy. Orginally from Trinidad and Antiqa. Will do an underwater video and post it on RUclips.
We've got to get you over your fear of plants, Kaity!
Pass the duthie pon de left hand side
I can’t understand why people who have a fish business don’t have a generator for emergencies.
To be fair it was the first time I have ever experienced a natural disaster on the Gold Coast in 25 years living here
at 29:00 he said there's an auction in march? What is this referring to?
Cichlid society auction at spring wood state school I’ll share the event on my FB before the event
How come so many fish and no airstone or filter?
They aren’t as necessary as most people believe if you setup your aquarium correctly
@ "correctly"?
@@samsara2321 yes for a filterless no water change aquarium
@@duthieaquatics I ment explane how to do it correctly
@ I need to do a video there’s no way I could type it out on my phone 😂
But his neighbors
Dislike his night frogs
More Than he does 🗣️🐸
They haven’t said a word …..yet 😂
I bet eating one of those Chernobyl fungi would be a wicked trip
🤣🤣
Yess 😂
😊
Datang ke indonesia dan datang ke BXSEA aquarium bawah tanah terbesar se asia tenggara. kamu pasti bahagia kalau kamu pecinta ikan.
Sorry i missed something is this guy in Australia or Florida?
Australia!! South East Queensland 😊
👍🏼👍🏻💙💛❤️
Hi how are you I miss you so much
Chop chop timestamp guy
Come to Germany
I'd recommend changing some water, there are thousands of different compounds that accumulate in water over time and without some water changes their levels just continue to rise and they are objectively harmful to fish
I need to do a video I think most people don’t actually understand what a no water change aquarium actually is. Because it’s definitely not setting up an aquarium then never changing water there is always an exchange of something and changing of water eventually but that timeframe is variable.
@@duthieaquaticsthen why say no water change if you eventually do one? This is misleading
@ it’s not really if you think that there is no exchange of anything in a no water change aquarium that’s simply impossible you will have to maintenance the aquarium be it trimming plants cleaning filters replacing or changing fish removing debris. It’s not an ideology that you must never change water or anything it’s accepting that for example a betta in a 60L heavily planted aquarium may never need a water change for the life span of that betta.
I’ve not changed the water in my 100lt tank in the last 7 years. It’s all about the plants, substrates and infusoria. If you steer away from the high tech tanks and start looking at how nature copes with the same problem you’ll soon realise that the low tech tanks are the way to go. Diana Walstat’s “Ecology of the Aquarium” is an excellent reference book and the detail she goes into is phenomenal. She uses 2-3 mm gravel on top of the dirt substrate which I’d steer clear of, it just keeps the mulm from being dragged down into the substrate by the detritus and black worms needed to keep the substrate clean and oxygenated. Plants need oxygen around their roots and a gravel substrate becomes anaerobic fairly quickly. The tank has to be inoculated with water and leaf litter from a creek or pond which places a vast number of beneficial bacteria, fungi and fauna into your tank, so no need to cycle.
Low tech tanks, still utilise filters, lights and heaters but because the plants and the variety of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria in the substrate lock heavy metals within their structures the water is free from any hazard associated with constant water changes. Your tap water is loaded with all the toxins you don’t want in your tank even if you have aged it previously. You can use a much smaller filter than is usually recommended for your size tank. Artificial lighting only supplements natural light so sunlight is recommended as the primary light source. Don’t worry about algal growth, just don’t overfeed your fish and the plants will out compete the algae or through allelopathy. Heaters are obvious if you keep tropical fish but fish like Empire gudgeons, Firetail gudgeons, pacific blue eyes and a variety of other Australian natives some the southern realm don’t need heaters. For those in the north of the country heaters are an optional accompaniment.
It is not recommended that your injection liquid fertilisers to feed you plants, fish food and poop are all that is needed. The invertebrates and bacteria break the detritus down into the richest fertiliser (mulm)you can offer your plants. Stock your tank with a lot of fish and invertebrates to get all the CO2 you need. Don’t clean your tanks, no gravel vacs, you can leave the the spent leaves in you tank, it just food for you invertebrates which in turn feeds your plants. Top any evaporated water and you’ll be right to go.
Father Fish has some excellent tutorials on his RUclips channel that can guide you on what to do. Although this method of fish keeping has been around since the late 17th century. The aquarium industry has poo pooed it with their marketing to sell useless stuff to you.
@@HansKrause-k6r Father Fish is a nutjob who once said he doesn't do water changes because God doesn't do water changes. You say the aquarium industry disregards the method to make money, when citing a guy who literally just ripped off the Walstad method and makes clickbait videos to make lots of money
The Walstad book is not great, she makes many assumptions that are often in direct contradiction to the research she is citing. Things a first year grad student would be giving a failing grade for. As a microbiologist, it is literally painful for me to read how bad she is at interpreting data.
A glass box filled with tap water and fish poop isn't a natural dynamic ecosystem, it's a closed/static artificial environment. Water changes introduce a component that bring them closer to the open/dynamic environments in nature
Using swamp gunk is pointless at best and in many cases will be harmful. The only "good" bacteria you want in your tank is nitrifying bacteria, which exists everywhere (including in most tap water) and will get into your tank regardless. Adding stuff from an outside water source only increases the risk of parasites, predator insect larvae, and a whole host of other contaminants. There is literally nothing else in it that you would want in your tank, there's probably barely even any nitrifying bacteria in it
Bacteria do not "lock" heavy metals. Some metals are consumed by plants, but then are released right back into the water column with decay. Tap water does not contain harmful amounts of any heavy metals.
There are thousands of harmful chemicals/particulates in the air, which will accumulate in your tank over time without water changes. Having fish poop in your tank is not necessarily bad, but when mulm gets excessive it is a breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria and without question puts your fish at an astronomically higher risk of infection and death

A comment
Thanks 😄😄
Are you buying a house
Yes 😄 If everything goes through as planned!
That’s awesome. Congratulations 🎉 I can see a fishroom on the horizon
@leigh4779 thank you 😊🙏🏻
That's never gonna work whit salt water fish
There is nothing good about that "No Waterchange" thing. If you cant afford water change, get another hobby.
Bored and out. Sorry.
No need to apologise! I hope you have a great day 😊
For anyone intimidated by keeping plants and fear of them dying, a few tips from master growers:
1 just start and get experience, that’s how you learn.
2 you plant and seed way more than what you need because many will die.
3 keep the same kind of plants under different circumstances/ places and see what works..
Now go plant some 🪴🌻🌴
