- Today is a special thanks to Illumaqua for being the Videographer and Editor of the talk I gave in Charlotte. The Aquatic Expo 2023. I have given this talk to many clubs around the USA and Canada. When it comes to aquarium keeping there is a lot of information to learn. This talk breaks down how to keep them more natural and simple with lots of information you can carry towards your style of aquarium keeping and or just help you with beginning to keep aquariums. I have been doing this a long time in many ways people have not and have rewritten the standards on a lot of how we keep aquariums through out the years and my time on being social media. This is an compostion creation of what Ive learned. Hope you all enjoy! If you love clean Homebred top quality aquatics and rarities check out the site below. Thanks for watching! :D

I had a crayfish crawl out of my bedroom, 20 feet down a hallway, and go down the stairs to doors where it got stuck. Put him back in the tank and he was good to go. Crazy is an understatement.
surprising, they can live on land with a mud tunnel. i think there is a lot more food available doing it that way. maybe less predators also.
I had a redclaw crab get out once and crawled to the front door and i think my cats got to him cause he was mangled up, poor fella… although, he ate the other redclaw while it was molting so i was like “welp i fed you and you got greedy so it came back around big guy lol”
Giving away free plants like that is so awesome. Great talk. I’ll be coming back to this one I’m sure.
Thanks Lucas. Would love to come back to this video in the future so I created timestamps.

Yay LRB!!! We knew you when!
Love the grand finale of throwing plants to the crowd ❤❤❤
Keep preaching the word man. Glad to see you out there giving the info.
This is insanely good. THANK YOU!
Great talk. I really like the team filming it too, they did a super good job (they even tried to make the questions audible, that's cool)
Yes Illumaqua did an amazing job on it!
This guy knows his stuff. LRB GANG‼️‼️‼️‼️
Thank you Lucas - I have no words truly - for the gratitude I have for the knowledge you shared and continue you share.
Your advice and knowledge feels so right in my gut and I have successfully set up multiple functional and sustainable tanks with shrimp guppies and killies - thanks to you!
Much love man
🫶👍
the only thing I would warn people about using thread in tanks to tie plants and stuff, be really carefull that there are no gaps and its not loose I had a young pleco injure itself pretty bad getting caught in some thread that was tying java fern down it had come loose and I didn't notice. I had to rescue the fish and do a minor surgury to remove the thread out of its body apply some antiseptic and kept it in a salty hospital tank till it healed. It did survive but it made me not use thread anymore.
O thanks for sharing I have never had that issue or thought of that occurring but could see how it could.
I was there. Awesome PlantiClause!
Loved the whole talk, but awww that ending! Even I'M tearing up, ha ha! Beautiful moment!
Very interesting Q&A, good questions!
Thank you for sharing it with us all :)
Absolutely incredible! The best and most informative video I've seen about fish keeping on RUclips.
GREAT EDUCATIONAL VIDEO :)
I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH AND WAS SURPRISED AND I'M VERY-GLAD ABOUT THE EXPLANATION OF THE WILD SISENS AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM .
AND HOW ONE ARTICLE IS POSTING SINTIFIC DATA THAT IS CORRECT TO THE TIME IT WAS TESTED BUT MAY BE DIFFERENT IN A DIFFERENT SISEN .
AND IT WAS GREAT TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOU SPOKE ABOUT YOUR KID HOME STATUS AND THE ENCOURAGEMENT YOU TOLD TO THE TEACHER :)
AND WAS GREAT TO SEE ALL THE PLANTS BEING DISTRIBUTED FREE TO THE AUDIENCE :)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
way to go man, handled yourself like a pro.
@LRB: You Rock!!! 👍🏾💙
I am so excited to watch this Lucas!!! Thanks for sharing! ❤😊
You are awesome always giving stuff away for free, who says there's nothing free in life. Excellent vid very informative.
Great Talk👍🌾🐠🌿🐟🌾
A very nice lecture LRB 🤓🐠🎸
Very Nice Lucas lots of information for all aquarium keeper.
Seriously, the best fish talk I’ve ever had a pleasure to hear! It was a pleasure to witness it live and to film/edit this vid. Happy to see you put it on your channel for everyone to watch and learn 😃👍
You did an awesome job! Couldnt ask for a better film/edit for this talk. You did it right to make it worthy to post I appreciate you!
So many gems…GREAT presentation…THANKS FOR SHARING ‼️ 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥰
LRB! Damn man! You showed out on your presentation. For me though was how you fielded the first question. Kind of you to give as much time for her as you did, and then of course seeing you hold it together regarding the living your dream. Much love brother!
Awesome presentation Lucas! You nailed it, great job!
Awesome presentation- thank you Lucas💕👍
The one and only you rock
Really, really awesome -- as expected. Much love to you, Lady LRB, Wes and the cats!
Yes, I've been preaching this forever! Speed up water changes with large inner diameter DIY python set-ups, just be mindful of temperature drops with your incoming water. I used to do large volume water changes on 12 tanks, once a week, in 30-40 minutes. Makes it way easier to keep up on multiple large tanks.
great vid lucas. you inspire me and so many others
Really great talk shared it on my facebook
Thanks I really appreciate that and helps my channel a lot when people share my content.
Thank You brother for uploading your talk! Listening on my commute to work ❤
This got a lot of info to take in
It was an absolute treat to see this live! I learned so much
Was great to meet you finally as well :)
Ahhhhh MANNN,this was such a cool bit to watch.😊
Love your stuff,Lucas.
Sitting on pins and needles waiting for shipping to Canada to be added to your website.
Much love to you and yours.❤✌️
Absolutely loved the end. 💕 That was a great talk!
Thanks for sharing the talk. Great for those of us who couldn't make it to North Carolina for the expo. Hoping to make it to Aquashella in Daytona. Then maybe North Carolina next year.
Very good advice and pointers, Great job at the show.
hey lucas
one of a kind
i'm happy to have found u here on utube
enjoyed every moment
thanks man
Thanks! Happy you did too
יhello lucas
i've noticed that non of your tanks have lids
is this also related to the natural zen thing??
thanks
@@user-ii1ei9gw8t with no filter aquariums is best to have no lid to let atmospheric exchange to occur.
o.k. got that
what about flying insects and so on and so on....?
Watching this a bit late, this was a great talk!
Nice work Brother!
very nice🎉
Really nice presentation man 👍
Great talk. I learned a lot and definitely am now looking at the hobby in a new way. Wish I was there for Planta Clause at the end
Thanks glad it it helped open your mind to the hobby and hope it makes things easier for you!
Cool man! Just came across this and watching now, already shot a like up thanks for the content, its so much i cant keep up!🤣👍 no complaints brother!
🤣🤣🤣plantaclause
Wow 300 Aquariums you are a real Aquarien schöne Grüße aus Deutschland ✌️🏿
Amazing video man. I’m a bio major and I model my fishkeeping after you. I can’t wait to get some more guppies from you. Really top quality fish for low cost
Ive actually been breeding some neocaridina in soft water and quite acidic water and hard water and everything in between. They seem to just adapt wherever I put them. ive bred them in pure rainwater with tonnes of tanins and leaves. I think they have just got used to it over time ive chucked them from one to the other, I have mostly blues and blacks but also greens and yellow/red/orange. The blues and blacks do seem the most adaptable so far. Ive got them in vases on the kitchen bench.
i will add small balls of clay from my yard though.
Interesting and I can believe it I have seen them in rain water and really extreme temps and parameters. From crawling under ice, very slowly, to 100+ F temp. I dont remember if I mentioned that in this video or not 😄
great stuff! Also, algae is a plant.
Yea man, if the plant isnt growing its not “moving” fast enough to outgrow the algae!👍 ive noticed that in my 55gallon! Slow growing plants get littered with algae! Thats another reason trimming plants is a good idea if they get caked with algae. Trim them bad boys and throw the trimmings in a bucket and put it in the dark and the algae dies and then replant the trimmings if you want
Diana Walstad wrote about keeping a natural tank and Father Fish has improved upon the system.
Diana is a doll and did a great job on breaking down the science of it in her book(practiced in a bowl. Father fish added more substrate. But more substrate isn’t even needed. People have been keeping natural no filter aquariums for millennia. But about 10 years ago capitalism corporate greed started ruining the hobby with misinformation and unnecessary products. Which the greed part is the problem. That’s when I started changing and testing the narratives like no one else has for all to get better perspectives on keeping aquariums in many forms. Since it is an art form it holds lots of variables. I also helped prop father fish up when he first started YT since he was the only one in my corner that wasn’t afraid to show or talk about dirty tanks.
I'll definitely be referring back to this video, tons of info in one place thanks!
Peace
@LRBAquatics - This video should come with a “might make you cry” warning… (I’m not crying, you’re crying 😅)
😄

Scuds are Amphipods, not Isopods.
Does anyone know how big do baby guppies have to be before I can put them with the adult guppies aside from the general statement that anything that can fit in any fishes mouth is fair game. I was hoping to find out if wake up you should be like a quarter inch or half inch because I seriously doubt that needs to be like a whole 1 inch because surely a quarter inch or half inch is enough for them to grow out and be put with the adult puppies, because I don’t want my babies to get eaten.
The mouth statement is the best way I measure it but saying that and to answer your question. Half inch is good. It also helps if you feed them heavy twice a day and or have alot of stuff for them to graze on. That helps with hunger predation.
@@LRBaquatics Thank you very much for the reply. That’s extremely helpful.
i have rocks that scratches and rises the ph up to 8.5 how can i add this to my aquarium? would it be ok to add some of that water to my aquarium if i can't add those rocks to my aquarium?, when the aquarium water stays at 6.8?
pH is a goose chase because it can read hydrogen. To truly know your hardness I would recommend learning about TDS as I mentioned in the video. The rocks are adding alkalinity aka mineralization to your aquarium. Use it if you need it. The water you take can still have alkalinity but wouldn’t last long especially if plants in the tank because they will absorb I’m the mineralization up over time. If the rocks are in the aquarium it is more slow release and will be more balanced and consistent.
I am just about done with LED's. I miss the old lights.
either way......Brandy is #1
Lol I have one male guppy trying to breed with some white cloud minnows😂😂
You probably should say that you are doing experiments. In case someone screws up and blames it on you.
I’m not sure what you mean? It’s not experimental at this point. It’s been tested. If anything is experimental with me I do disclose it.
😢
Why the sad face?
Every house has a close line hear in aus its not a back in the day thing 😂
