      It certainly seemed to go very quickly. Sometimes a 15:00 minute video can seem to take ages. With videos like these, the time passes very quickly. It is an inducement to start "binge" watching. Can't get enough.

    Please Nick can you have this guy on for over an hour doing something similar to how adrian showed almost every species and highlighted certain tips to keeping / breeding them. This is the closest Cory operation to the book on Ornamental Fish Farming that I’ve seen you visit. As an aspiring Cory breeder myself, I’d love to see all his species and any tricks he has for breeding them!

      Hi mate. Yes, you are dead right on that one. Brian Andrews who wrote the book "Ornamental Fish Farming" was a business partner for years, both in South Africa at Amatikulu Hatchery, as well as in Australia at Kilcoy Ornamental Fisheries. I have adapted many of his principles in what I do now. Brian was inspirational to me for so many years.

    I love his "rubbish bins" setup. Not rubbish at all. The tubes are a genius idea!

    • @Firebird894
      @Firebird894 Год назад

      I am a poor start up fish farmer/hobbyist and I am loving to see other people using bins and tubs aswell I still use them a lot I cannot afford to buy all glass tanks where I live they are hard to come by and I cannot drive to pick them up. So I find tubs as clear as possible when I need to see the fish side on I also have a lot of black tubs and bins and even 10L buckets for $2 at the supermarket. I scour bargan shops for tubs and buckets. I use the flexi tubs with handles too. If it isnt toxic and holds water I will use it. Some fish like the black bins and tubs better than tanks. I am raising a bichir in a black hydro tub. And if you want to run a sump flow system it is so easy to install bulkheads in plastic tubs. You can make amazing sump systems with hydro tubs and IBC containers and cheap plastic pipes from bunnings with the little flow taps. I am about to start on a system and a shed I plan to insulate. You can even plant out the sump if you want bare tanks and still get the benefits

    What a lovely story and a terrific video. Such great content recently, Nick. I also really appreciate your art of pretty “background music” for these as true “background”, rather than the overpowering techno beats that other fish channels have adopted which make it hard to follow content. Just superbly done. Cheers.
