@@HoonAquatics yeah! The pagwi are awesome too! I never really thought much of them until seeing some of your recent photos on fb. When I first saw pagwis, I just thought they were colorful on the back half but man, that electric blue and orange really stands out.
Much appreciated Tom. I've enjoyed your content over the years and you do a great job getting people excited and informed about hypancistrus and other exotic plecos
Unfortunately no 😔 some fish that I had recently added and not quarantined started to show signs of mycobacterium. I decided to sanitize the tank to prevent further spread. It puts me at ease that I sanitize my hoses/python between each tank. So I don't think it has spread to other tanks. All in all, what a sucky experience. Glad I got a lot of those fish out already
Christmas came early!! A whole lot of plecos you’ve go there! 😆 Those Affinis Pagwi sure are pretty. ❤️ Glad to see you making videos and congratulations on becoming Master Breeder II!!
Haha sorry Kelley the pleco bug bit me hard! And also thank you! I really enjoy the pleco and rainbow combo. The pagwi are such an underrated fish and I think is every bit as nice as a boesemani if not more striking
@@HoonAquatics I think you should do a video where you plant a giant box of plants I send you, hahahahaha!! 😆😆😆 Otherwise, I think a video on the many moods of Chilatherinas would be awesome! They are the most color-changing fish. A color-changing video in general would be awesome. I don’t think people who’ve never kept rainbows realize how much they change color. I could send you footage, too. (Along with a giant box of plants.😉😉😉)
@@kelleyforeman I would actually love to do a plant unboxing from you. I'd also love to see you make some videos on your plant knowledge! I'm ready to take notes and learn. I have thought about making shorts to post in Rainbowfish Live to show color differences in Male vs Female in different moods/setting. Male at rest (like the dullest colors they show), Male sparring vs other males and Males displaying for females. The more I watch the rainbows, the more I notice subtle differences in color or behavior depending on what they're doing. I'm also really curious to see how different rainbows look on white sand. This would all be a massive project, so we will see when and if that happens! haha
@@HoonAquatics you’re not the only person to ask me to do videos, ha! I love the idea of sending you plants to do an unboxing. After Christmas some time, I’ll send you a big styrofoam box! I think it would be great to do some shorts. They can help build your channel, too. 😀 Merry Christmas, Ryan!!
Hey great to see you again! I wondered what happened to you, hoped you were OK. The Tawa look great now and those Chilatherina from Pagai village are colouring up beautifully. With the pandemic, I still don't have any rainbows but next year for sure. I'm particularly interested in Glossolepis. It's good to see someone breeding smaller plecos, a video on that would be fab. Anyway, enough rambling 😂
Great to hear from you again as well! Thank you for the kind words 🙂 Sometimes life gets in the way but I'm glad to be back. I dont have many glossolepis but I can always help recommend some sources! Id also be more than happy to get some rainbows out to you next year. As I get a bit more experienced with breeding plecos I'd differently want to film something on that! Thanks for the idea. I do much prefer the smaller plecos yes 😅 I don't think I could manage the big ones or want to handle them!
I forgot to say, congratulations on becoming a Master Fish Breeder 🏆. I'm moving house early next year, so have cut down to three tanks and this has reminded me, I've got to test the water where I'm going to. Looking forwards to the next video 👍🏻😊
These are some dope rainbows. Just wondering, I’m a bowhead in the Colorado area and I wanted to know how I could get rainbows from Gary Lange? He has so many cool species I wish I could own but haven’t seen anywhere
Nice collection of fish you still have! I sure wish I had me some Tawa. I'll have to get them soon because boy they look stunning. You should check out the L519. I love the group I have! I'm still debating if I should go down the L333 grade AA road or stick the my massive group of L134s
I had considered the L519's but I'm already tight on space! I absolutely love the L333's but you can't go wrong with the L134's. Curious to see if anyone is line breeding them yet
@@HoonAquatics well that is my intention when I get time.... Have 30-40 adults I need to sort through and line breed for dots, swirls, and bold patterning.
Excelent video. Just a heads up...Snow in German is pronounced Schnay. It rhymes with hay. with floke you have to pronounce the e at the end. It should sound like the eh that Canadians end their sentences with. Good luck with that😀 Cheers, Chris
@@HoonAquatics I tried to spell it out phonetically. I think most Americans have trouble with the umlaut over the u, pronouncing the sharfes S as a B, pronouncing wasser with a "W" sound instead of a "V" sound, and pronouncing the tang as if it were the astronaut drink, instead of using a soft a sound. We should just use the transliteration and call it freshwater seaweed. As a science teacher, I think It's a super cool plant. If you don't already know, it is the prothallus of a fern that refuses to produce eggs and sperm (the job of a normal prothallus) Essentially, it never grows up into a fern. Instead it makes branches, which can break off and start a new plant. It is thought that all of it (globally) is just a bunch of clones from some original delinquent prothallus that refused to grow up.😀 Cheers, Chris
Love those amazing rainbowfish, sight unseen for me...thanks for sharing
Just gorgeous…
Wow so many awesome rainbows.
Wow, 4 inches at ten months, thats crazy for rainbows.
They grew like weeds!
Awesome tour! Favorite fish are the tawa rainbows 😅
Man the Tawa are hard to beat! They really are stunning fish. Hopefully we can figure out a way to get them to Japan!
@@HoonAquatics yeah! The pagwi are awesome too! I never really thought much of them until seeing some of your recent photos on fb. When I first saw pagwis, I just thought they were colorful on the back half but man, that electric blue and orange really stands out.
@@RyoWatanabee I was the same way! I think out of all the rainbowfish, the Pagwi exceeded my expectations the most. Absolute beauties
Nice collection. Thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated Tom. I've enjoyed your content over the years and you do a great job getting people excited and informed about hypancistrus and other exotic plecos
C. sp. Kali Webs really starting to flash colors! Love the red tails on them
Tbh all the rainbows and rads look amazing!
Hi Jason Liang 💩
Great to see the setup nice and up close....thanks for sharing!
Thanks Dan! I might be able to make some more room for new fish after that January import you keep teasing 😜

Amazing video!! Your channel seems pretty sweet so I subbed!!👍👍

Thank you 😊
Great update! Still have the Aves and Klasios?

@@HoonAquatics I'm not sure my fish room is ready for the world.... Or should I say not sure if the world is ready for my fish room
@@brianklimaszewski wow! That's a huge group. I'd be interested to see your approach for line breeding if you ever do decide to do so!
Dan got in Mellis? Are you going to get and breed?
Have you ever kept M. sahulensis? How do they look when colored up? They look kinda bland in a lot of videos, but i know they dont do much justice
Do you sale your
Melanotaenia sp Kell Tawa
