Ep. 3 Igloo Tank (New Pair of Umbrella Cichlids and What I Feed Them)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 янв 2021
- These fish are called Apistogramma borellii Opal (Umbrella Cichlid). They are still pretty young fish. For the first 10 days or so, the male lived in the igloo and the female lived behind the driftwood. They really didn’t like each other at all. Then after a while, they started to live in the igloo together a lot of the time, but not always.
I chose these guys b/c they are one of the very few apistos that can live in high PH. These guys can live in PH range of 5~8. That’s a huge range. My tap is usually around 7.2~ 7.4 so I don’t have to do anything special to the water when I do water changes.
The reason why I spot fed them is b/c I really wanted them to take regular fish food. If they don’t take regular fish food and get conditioned to frozen or live food in the beginning, it can be difficult to get them to take regular fish food. So for the first few days, I only spot fed them flakes and pellets. They didn’t take it for the first 2 days, and on the third day, they ate just a tiny bit. It only takes one fish eating for the other to follow. Spot feeding also wastes very little food so there’s less excess food in the tank.
These guys are so smart, as most cichlids are. I’ve kept many different kinds of cichlids in the past, but always skipped the dwarf ones. They come right up to the front glass as soon as I enter the room. They seem to be afraid of the camera. That’s why you see the black stress marks a lot in the video.

Imagine if like a giant tube descended from the sky released a bunch of flying bit sized cheeseburgers for us to eat. Truly heaven
Dude that would be awesome
I was so suprised with the brine shrimp part. It looked like a shower
Sounds like a 21st century version of Bible event
Next time I see a falling star I won't be wishing for world peace.
The fish: A blessing from The Lord!
"No stress color" - me when I watch this channel.
UNDER👏🏼RATED👏🏼COMMENT👏🏼
So true🤣🤣🤣
Same

"no stress" - me when i watch this channel"
Ah yes...its been long time my friend. Now i will leave all that I am doing and watch this video. The world stops.
Thanks for being an inspiration.
Wonderful comment 🥰
@@briamel191 Foo deserved it for being an inspiration to many people in these troubled times.
@@IMaqua Love this channel and its audience 💜
For real, I just shut down for 5 minutes to watch this and then realized I was still at work.
@@MusicLover-vq3ol yes its much different than the rest of youtube. There is no over the top thumbnails, expensive equipment and unnecessary talk. I have been trying to create something similar and although i don't have much audience i like the people i attract. There is so much noise today in todays world.
These videos never fail to cheer me up. They're like surprise ice cream.
So true.
I agree
I read 'surprise cream' at first. I was like what in the world...
anybody else just genuinely want to be one of this dude’s pet fish
yea
Yessss.. He builds the coziest habitats.
Nop.. Human being is a great thing.
@@Abdellah230 for you.
only if he doesnt put me in with his bettas lololol they're little monsters
A Marimo Snowman!!! That is such an adorable idea
Ikr it made me audibly go 'd'aww'

Great Tatooine reference there, well done!
Loved the quick tatooine suns
Ah, i see you're a man of culture as well!
Thank you so much for continuing to make these despite all the hurdles this platform throws at you.
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. They give me so much joy and peace!
Also, your camera quality is incredible!
Just curious what kind of hurdles an aquarium based channel might face? I could understand worrying about demonization for more controversial content...but this seems pretty chill? I dont have a channel so i genuinely am wondering.
@@JohnClam has to do with the music he uses, sometimes he gets copyright striked even though the music he uses is copyright free
@@fright635 oh okay, that makes sense. I'm sure its a pain to deal with.
@@fright635 This makes me so angry because I know once you've gotten that claim taken down you still make no fucking money off of it and he doesn't deserve to deal with this shit on a peaceful aquarium channel.
Me - fast food.
These fish - fine dining.
If it weren't for you I wouldn't have ever gotten into the hobby. I began with a 5gal no CO2, no ferts, dirted tank for a crown tail Betta I rescued from abuse. The tank was quickly overwhelmed by BGA and I moved over to a 10gal with a HOB filter. I can't thank you enough for the many hours of joy your videos have enabled me to have. ❤️
Awwwwww the two cichlids are so cute!!! They're so lucky to be taken care of by you!!
I was doing the final work of my university career and this is what I needed to rest and be able to continue with more strength. Never stop uploading videos!
All the best bud!!
@@rickbhai9829 Thank you so much!
When i graduated, Nobody was standing outside the class smoking and gawking at a smartphone, however they were all smoking and texting on their nokias...this was 2010. How strange to have college people with all that powerful technology, in just ten years.
@@JOSEPH-vs2gc So true, imagine in another 10 years!
These are the most relaxing well made videos out there, thank you for your hard work and dedication
As a person who knows absolutely nothing about fish and don't plan on learning i LOVE this channel! Its so relaxing to watch
That’s how it starts
Keeping fish is a great hobby. He makes it look complicated but it’s not.
Love how Clair de Lune is in a lot of your vids but in different versions 😌
It’s one my favorite songs, so the experience is even more enjoyable ^^
With the igloo, the "snow" man, the various other "snow" balls, and the live brine shrimp, it really looked like an underwater winter wonderland!
The drip acclimation bottle is pure genius!
There is a lot of new channels using your content as inspiration, but you're the one I will stop everything, lay on my comfiest pillow and watch!
Thanks Watson
Hi
Arigathanks oshi
Was sent here by a cute detective.
Not disappointed.
Ame?
@@alwayscommenting56 Right you are, chum!
That male cichlid should be called Elvis with those fins/hair 😆
That was quite the housewarming party.
I love fish that stress stripe. Having a way to tell how they're feeling is very helpful
Instead of a mood ring, they're just mood fish 😍
I love this tank so far! The igloo, the marimo snowman, the apistos! Looking forward to seeing how it continues! Keep up the wonderful work :)
I look forward to seeing how the tank & it's inhabitants evolve!
I found your videos about 6 months ago. I have had a terrible year with one thing after the next. Watching these videos make my troubles disappear for a few minutes and relax me enough to remember what peace feels like. I thank you for my few minutes of peace a month
All your videos give me a sense of calm, peace and happiness. I leave my work for this always.

Stumbled into your channel and found the feeding videos so relaxing and calm. Ty was great watching them relax in their new environment

The videos are just incredible, thank you so much for your hard work, and that's coming from a fellow fish keeper.
I love your videos, the editing, the music, the scene, the ambiance, it's calming
I confess I didn't really like this tank in its earlier stages but now I do. It's a playful kind of scape. Very imaginative. Love the marimo tree.

I adore your videos. They are SO soothing. Thank you.
I really love the simple setup.
Finally got an idea on what setup I'll make for a tank I'm getting.
your videos are so soothing. Easily the best and most relaxing thing on youtube.
Awesome just awesome i love how you incorporated a sump inside the tank with a decorative wall to hide it. Really smart thanks for the inspiration.
Relaxation at its finest👌👌
I literally stop thinking and just stare with this..
Nothing more relaxing than one of your vids
Mate these videos are so good. I get overwhelmed from school, and seeing a video from you really helps at the end of the day :D

Please tell the Marimo snowman that I love him.
When I saw the 2 moons:
Captain America "I understood that reference"
a tatooine tank if you will
Seeing the fish from the front view was so adorable, they literally look like: ●‿●
I like that his movement is one with the music, it's soothing.
Perfect time, I'm watching this on my lunch break.
I've been with you for year's. You are the reason I got into it. My beta died but I bought so much for it before it did
