Thanks for making this video Alex and for stopping by and sharing what is going on in the fishroom. Was great to finally have you be able to visit especially with your jam packed schedule. Hope we can do it again sometime!
Thank YOU brotha!
Such a joy having you both in same room at the same time. Love ❤️ to both
I've learned so much from both of you. Thank you from me and my fish!!
My favorites together is always the Best!!!!
Super enjoyable! So good to see sensible aquaculture that respects God’s creation! Thank you!👍🙏🏻
This was such a treat for me. Funny story and I absolutely cannot verify it. Back in the heyday of fish forums, I interacted with a fish keeper who had such a wealth of knowledge but was very humble, maybe even a little shy about sharing what he knew. I am 98% sure it was Lucas Bretz. The forum members kept encouraging him to post and share. More than a dozen years went by, I got out and back into the hobby. I kept hearing about this amazing breeder, "Lucas." Having heard him today, you cannot convince me it wasn't Lucas Bretz because his demeanor and knowledge match what I remember from the forums. Thank you, Alex and Lucas for the walk down memory lane where I learned most of what I know about natural planted aquariums.👍
Awesomeness
That is cool, thanks for sharing this story. Because that was me in the forum days as well. I used to do a lot on TPT, APC, and MFK forums. This was before FB even existed. Then the forums all sold to corporates and wasn’t the same. Everybody started moving to FB. But the forums are where I got my biggest start of planted aquariums which allowed me to collect plants from all over the world. Thanks again for sharing this comment!
@@LRBaquatics You are very welcome. I learned alot back then and will have an eagle eye on that fish house. Best wishes to you and your livestock!😉👍
Awesome at 27:11. You are one of a kind. The info you put on this channel is growing my knowledge so huge
Thank you very much my friend
Wow such a great video of Lucas’s new fish room. So sad to see him leave my home town of Indianapolis but snow and tropical fish aren’t the best conbo.
Indiana Bretz and the Honeycomb Rock
Alex, this was fantastic! Two awesome fish nerds right here!! Thank you so much 😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed it
@@Fishtory I finally got to see the full
tank tour of LRB'S fish house/barn/hobby, & how much time he has put
into it all, thank you for taking the time to show & tell us what he's doing.
This man's wealth of knowledge is unmatched. Also lrb's ability to soak up all this knowledge from the older blokes in the hobby is so respectable too. Sorry for the brown nose but you've got to give credit where credit issue. You both are creating a movement, I see you 👀
Thank you very kindly. Im just soaking it in where i can....and looking for science to support the observations and practices of skilled fishkeepers
I LOVE IT!!! MY TWO FAVORITE FISH GUYS! SWEET!!!
Len stands like he’s on the select a player screen
Two legends 🙌
You are too kind
Alex is a true asset to the hobby
Well thank you kindly
That’s funny, Lucas uses the gasket totes too. I’ve found they don’t fall apart holding water long term
Theyre solid! Hah
I have wished for this video for a long time. You guys are two of my fav people in the hobby and in YT, so it's a pleasure and a confirmation that it would make a lot of sense to see you together. Thanks for this.
Hopefully it will happen again soon
@@Fishtory that's good news. Bring it on! 🙂
OMG Penny Wort. I am inundated with Penny Wort. Need some? Lol
Haha it is alllll over florida. Every place you go its mixed into the grass... so not at the moment
Ok I've watched this entire video now and gotta comment again. I've so much respect for both of you. Such a treat xxxxx
Thank you very kindly
Great video, fish room is cool. Hello from Northern Indiana.
Thanks for checking it out!
Wow tht place is quiet!
Fish/shrimp JESUS !! thanks y'all .. Nice Work !!!
You are very welcome!
So SWEET! TWO of my all time favorite fish peeps in one video. I love both you guys and what ya'll do. I really need to catch back up on ya'lls videos. I'm just dealing with some life issue things and just can't keep up with everybody right now. It's getting better and things are resolving and the sun's coming back out as it always does. Namaste my friends, both of ya'll just ROCK the aquarium world.
👍💖👍
You take care of yourself first and foremost. But your support and comments are always so very appreciated.
Such a great video! I'm glad I finally got a notification !
Yay!!
Love the vid
The intro song has a good vibe! Lol
Lucas wrote and sang it lol
When does the hit single get released? Lol
@bravehearts1986 RUclips search mr. Pleco lol
@@Fishtory haha!!
The song ❤️❤️👌👌
All LRB original :)
This is great. Lots of life.
Glad you enjoyed it
The man, the mythe the legend himself = automatic like 😂🤜 also love that little rap intro at the start aswell.
Lol thank you
👍😎 Thank you Alex. Never too much Lucas. That had to be an awesome time. 🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄
There may be another episode of us exploring an alligator pond at 11pm
Fp. Fallax!!! I want that Fundulopanchax
we need more videos with you two. your both inspirational hobbyist.
Unfortunately we live literally as far away as the country can allow lol. Seattle to Florida. But theres more content content waiting to be seen hehe
I loved this Collab!
When I was a kid (in the 1970s) my mom bought me a half a gallon aquarium with 3 goldfish and no filter, just the gravel at the bottom. My mom did regular water changes once in a while. They lived for like 10 years. The beneficial bacteria will cover everything inside the tank.
Same hehe
Elvis the carnival prize gold fish
Very Enjoyable, Thanks Alex & Lucas!
Thank YOU!
Many years ago while living in Florida, I had the great pleasure of visiting a off the beaten path, fish shop. It was all salt water, but I believe this eldery gentleman had the same mindset as this. His tanks looked 'dirty' to me, and I remember talking to him about it. He said to me, "a clean tank isn't a healthy tank". That was like 50 years ago now. Anyhow, his tanks looked exactly like these! I also remember he had some beautiful Seahorses, that he refused to sell to anyone. At that time it was very difficult to feed and keep them alive and healthy, and that's why he never sold them. I'm quite sure a lot of things have changed in that respect, in 50 years, but I did so admire him for his convictions. Thank you Alex, for sharing Lucas's amazing fish room. I've gone over and subscribed to his channel as well.
Was it "Father Fish" AKA Lou haha hes a close friend that fits that image well...although hes "only" 86 years old
@@Fishtory I don't think it was Father Fish whose shop I visited back then, as this gentleman was probably in his 70's or so then, 50 years ago. But I wonder if he knew of him, or met him at some point? Wouldn't that be interesting!? And yes, I agree, he's very similar in his outlook on fish keeping! I really enjoy Father Fish's video's and yours, of course!
I have never seen a rope fish before! It looks like an eel! Super cool!
Yeah theyre pretty incredible creatures.
Oh is an wel far i know.
So awesome! Love it!
I love this thinking for keeping fish.
I use a peppergrinder to find my small fish Tetra Tropical Granules.
Thats a great tip!
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for tuning in!
Awesome video! Would have loved to park in that fish house with you guys and chew the fat! Love his alternative approach to things.
I absolutely loved this tour! Thanks
Right on. So glad folks seem to enjoy the tour ...its hard to edit the footage into less than a half hour....or even an hour lol
Sweet!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Fishtory Always love the natural approach when keeping any kind of animal... Both of you guys always inspire.
Such an amazing tour and education thank you
Thank you LARRY D
love this video and both your channels, educational yet super chill!
Thank you
That's it I'm taking all my filters out lol jkjk another great knowledgeable vid learned alot as always, thanks.
Just wait for them to get clogged! I actually do that to switch from filtered to non-filtered slowly
You two sound so in tune with each other! It was awesome to witness this. Tho my old ears would have appreciated it if LRB would've been miked up.
Yeah the mics were so loud when we tried them! That we left off personal ones, but a condenser boom would have been much better. Sorry. Budget heh
Respect nature
Love you both
Wurd
@@Fishtory 🤭😂
Nice video guys!
Thanks my friend!
Awesome tour guys 🤩 Cool collaboration of fishyness 🤪💋✨🌿🐟🦐🍂
Thanks
I spent HOURs fixing a water fountain in my backyard to remember I hate the sound of incessantly tinkling water.
Lol
Always ask this man about the latest and greatest conspiracy theories. He's a good time.
Oh 💯
Two of my favourite aquarium youtubers. Great video.
Aww you are far too kinrm cheers
I really love this set up! I get anxious listening to my air filters on 3 tanks. .. I’m j byte process of converting my dining room into a dish room with 5 tanks- it’s going to sound like 5 jacuzzis blasting once I’m done. 😭🤫🫧🐟I absolutely love the floating plants at aroun 15:30.. Alexander called them Lilly’s- they look like Brazilian pennywort to me- any idea of what it’s called? Very pretty.. I want some! Thank you for the tour of a different, refreshing and exciting fish room. Is this a retail fish room or private? Where is this? 🤩okay. My question quota is to max capacity. Thank you again! ❤
Unsure why, but had to subscribe again. It seems youtube unsubscribed me. Anyways love your channel
So frustrating. Sorry. I hear that from many people. Thank you for doing so, though!
It's great to see you both in the same video! Keep up the good work.
SO happy to see this video! You are each one of a kind and provide such wonderful insight and knowledge - thanks for sharing so much! As someone who truly loves nature, I find that there is such great content available on your channels. I have purchased from LRB online and look forward to seeing more of his fish grown and available.
Right on. Thanks
While I can appreciate different ways of doing things I don't think I'm going to run and pull my sponge filters out of my aquariums just yet.
I am frustrated with how loud the fish room is but this is definitely not as efficient as running tanks with filters. Thanks for the video though I appreciate the perspective.
Kind of a plant nerd here: Your guess of those air plants being "Spanish moss" was actually very close! "Spanish moss" is not a moss at all, it's an air plant (Tillandsia usneoides). The plants he's growing there seem to be Tillandsia recurvata (aka "ball moss"), which look very, very similar but grow in clumps instead of chains.
Oh, and they don't change form because of the moisture. Those hanging bits are the inflorescences.
Thanks for the clarification 👍
@@Fishtory I've learned so much from your videos! Love the fact that I could share something back. Happy holidays!
18:12 Sorry for my chronic sleep deprivation hallucinations, but I swear I visioned a Tammy Faye Mascara Barb while I was zoning in and out of consciousness.
Lol thats a night terror
Knowledge bomb videos like this are incredible! Awesome video Alex & Lucas.
Thank you kindly
0:00 See the look on his face?? He got caught secretly replacing Tetra Color Tropical Granules with the Leading Brand Granules, to see if the fish could tell the difference. : (
Lol
hi Alex , off topic a bit . i was thinking throwing some bread mould into my tank . im thinking it could possibly be good sort of food web .Will it die , have you ever tried it and what do you think of that idea . Thanks Jason
I haven't tried it, but I'd be hesitant to put more than a tiny little piece in. Perhaps some antibiotic stain of penicillin would grow? But i don't know that it would be a good thing to be dosing the fish with penicillin mold / low dose antibiotics all day... even if it did take off. Worst case, it may spoil the water with organic debris, like over feeding does. This is all a total guess. If you do try it, let me know what unfolds please
@@Fishtory mmm ok . thanks , think ill leave it then . how would i get paramecium and other micro foods into my aquarium. I live in Africa , a warm climate , and just walking to the local water source has its challenges never mind sticking my hand in there and pulling things out . think there's things in there that science doesnt even know about ( im sure they do )ive taken some leaves in my garden that have fallen off and are dried out . do all leaves have some type of macro bugs on them
What floating plants are in that Ropefish tank?
Pearl weed, salvinia, hydrocotyles and maybe pearl weed
What is that plant with the platinum medakas? I *LOVE* the look of that tank!!!
Crypt Rosen maiden? Or pearl weed I'm guessing. I can tell you for sure if you have a time marker
Oh, thanks! Starting at 14:49.
The spade-like shape and long stems coming up from substrate make me think of water lily (nymphea?) but the leaves are small and entirely green. 🤔
Maybe a Hydrocotyle sp?
I’m thinking maybe that plant is Brazilian Pennywort (Hydrocotyle leucocephala) … but I’ve been out of hobby for >10 years so very rusty on plant id’s.
Hey bro one question 🙋♂️
The stiphodon goby kill or no kill our plants 🪴 ? Yes or not ?
Hello Alex season greetings to you and your family. Do you remember the name of the plant that's at time stamp 15:00-16:00?
Crypt hudori or rosen maiden ?
@@Fishtory the lily
@@waynesaquatics oh nymphaea taiwanensis
What’s a NO FILTER fish? Never heard off that species before.
Anything that doesn't need high Dissolved oxygen. Stagnant water specied
Weird being in a fish room you don't have to scream in lol
Right?!
Alex, you sound like Dick Cavett.
Lol
This is the first time I saw your channel. Of course, I subscribed. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
He must have a really good paying job to afford that level of OCD! 😆
Lol he breeds fish and shrimp for a living actually
@@Fishtory a good business to go into apparently.
Mr. Pleco cat where the funk you at?!
