I'm a teen and can maintain a 55 gallon
I keep hearing/seeing $5 but im getting charged $7
Why is that?
No thank you for making this video
Instablaster
man he's lucky to be your son I would kill to have parents that are fish hobbyists keep it up guys.
Being 19 myself and being in the hobby since 17 I’d say it can easily be done. From someone who has all the necessary knowledge it can see very simplistic when explaining to someone else but it is genuinely only because you are so used to it. When your son recapped on what you had done today I would say except a few prompts being needed he had a fantastic response on what to do and the order. Fair play to him!
Im 15 and i love aquariums too!
@@brandonsaquariumsandterrar8985 I'm 15 too , but I'm an October guy
He's so cute creating his own vocabulary, empty-outer and filler-upper. I love your kids. They're as wacky as you both.
Well said!
"Imaging swimming around you own toilet"😂
Thats gonna hunt me forever 😂
@simly boi aunt?... taunt?.... flaunt? 😂
Kageyama will hunt u forever
My dad tried to do the same thing when I was growing up and doing water changes. Except he didn’t know how to do water changes, so I was teaching him how.
Me too. I'm 11 and the only reason we have Mbunas is because I tell my dad how to do everything. He literally wanted to put Haps on a 45 gallon :/
I like how you all do it together as a family, my son already try's to help but he's only 6 but he does what he could
My grandfather started me out before I can remember. Be careful you will get him hooked for live and by the time he turns 13 his room will look like the LFS and his mother will forever.hate you....
How cute!
I have my 6 y.o. girl helping me with any and every aspect of fish care since she was 4-5 y.o. But that's not out of the ordinary, because I have her help me with anything I'm doing. I want her to be able to do anything.
Hey really said “welcome to gulag” 😂😂
😂😂
Omg your daughters look exactly like one parent each XD one for John, one for Lisa! And your son favors his momma too. Great video!
This brings me back memories from the early 90s when my father taught how to clean up the fish tank. I miss the 90s. I need to get back into the fish hobby again.
I'm 18 and I have been in the hobby since 5 years old with my dad's help
Doing water changes are actually quite fun and I also use the water to water the garden because it has so much nutrients for plants
Very smart.!!!👍
That "crooked" shot worked well,
Play around with the angles and thank you for showing me how to do this,
Great video
Yes the python no spill clean and fill is an Absolute MUST have for all fish keepers.
Unless all you have are mostly 5 gallon and under , like a shrimp or killie keeper
Been going along 36 years now and never had one... nice toy surely but one can do without just fine.
How fun to see your family hanging out together, including the Fur Babies! 😁 this was great.
Thank you!! 😊
It’s easy to do it I’m 14 and as long as you like it it’s easy
I absolutely love this video, and Iove how meticulous CJ is. You're making a fish keeper of him. Super cool! I also love how much each of your kids obviously favor you or Lisa.
I've been watching your channel for awhile, and I pretty much take everything you guys say very seriously. Your info seems solid!
My kids love doing water changes. This is a great video on how this hobby brings families together 👍🐟🤗
Sounds like my dad when he used to show me stuff as a kid. Total explanation before, during and after 🤣
Real life demonstration to a novice - GENIUS! I like what you did there 👍Love my empty outer/filler upper - CJ was great and the crew were stellar!
Thanks! 👍
Great video glad to see the whole family involved!!
Its nice to see the whole family get involved with the hobby and all that it entails. And those filler uppers are the best. I also highly recommend to anyone that doesnt want to lug heavy buckets back and forth.
Fun video! I loved getting my kids involved in the hobby. I got my middle daughter interested in it by have her do the research on stocking ideas for my main show tank, comparability etc. She learned a lot. However it was very short lived. Her interests are more into dogs and reptiles now.
Thank you when covid hit I became an instant fan owner of our library betta fish I'm a new fish keeper so every little bit of information helps!
Well done teaching job! So much that seasoned hobbyists (49 years for me) do is such that we do it without thinking. Just like cooking.
Honestly one of my favorite KG vids. Was authentic and nice getting the whole family involved
I think it is pretty cool that you brought the family in on this video!!!
I'm a teenager John and I have three ponds and 5 aquarium (20-125 gallons) and imma say, it ain't that hard. Pretty cool to see everyone in one video. This is like the best video/tutorial for teaching your family how to help clean your tanks when ur too lazy to do it or you just can't
You're an awesome dad.
Learning from the best
Great video. Loved seeing the whole family including the kitties and doggies.
It's always great to getting our kids and teenagers into the aquarium hobby..it was really smart to video it so he could go back to refer to it! there is also nothing wrong with adding in a little incentive 😁👍♥️✌️
John it is to no longer be referred to as a python it's the filler-uper now :P
It's the empty outer filler upper ha ha
Family is so important what a great opportunity for bonding and great content in 1 video. Thanks for everything you have taught me so far!
Great video and cute kids! You're brave to try and tame teenagers. A pet tiger will just rip your arm off. Teenagers mess with your mind and soul!!
Very true!!
tame haha 😅
@ 12:20 I'm rolling on the floor. " I don't think I have to explain this to you".
Great video and nice to see you including your kids!👍My boys are 5 and 7 and my oldest did siphon his pea puffer tank with supervision. Mostly they like being silly in my videos.
You can get a much longer 24 inch gravel tube(empty outer), which will make the job way easier. Great instruction, Dad.
Nice family! I enjoyed this video it made me miss my girls. They turned 34 today(twins). I feel so old!
This was great, nice kids and they did a good job.
John, do you have multiple ends for the filler-upper/empty-outer so you don't get any kind of cross contamination? Same question for the algae scraper-offer
I ask because I do that with nets and the algae scrapers, but not the python and wonder if I should be or not. What do professional keepers like yourself do?
Cool fam video. I have to say, that large piece of wood in the Oscar tank, would look super amazing in planted tank. It looks like a broken tree trunk. Do a complete dwarf hair grass carpet with moss at the top of the tree truck. Pretty neat with schooling fish.
Being a teenager with tanks i have a few tanks.
Tip 1 watch lots of aquarium coop!
Tip 2 get api stress coat when changing water
Tip 3 get a shirt without sleeves, when you are reaching into a tank you will get your shirt sleeves wet (every wonder why king of diy weres sleevless shirts?)
Tip 4 Never wash your hands before maintaining the tank! The soap could hurt the fish!
Tip 5 always turn the heaters off when you drain the water beneath the heaters! It could start a fire!!!
Have fun! Ps always have a towel near by, you will (just like me) will probably spill alot!
Or watch a lot of KGTropicals ;)
Do you still at least rinse your hands off before you clean your tank?
@@Kenny-rp9iq yes because you could have bad stuff in them that could hurt the fish
If you smoke, vape, are living in a house with smokers where smoke has contaminated surfaces (3rd hand smoke), wash your hands. Nicotine is extremely toxic to fish, and is way worse than waking your hands. I wash my hands everytime my hands go into the tank, and I've been keeping fish since I was a 12 y.o. (I had three 10 gallon tanks, a 20 gallon tank when I was 12-16) I've never had an issue.
Honestly it is not to hard if you are really into it but i got taught from a family friend and ever since it has been going smoothly
Great Videos. Because of your videos i just bought a Current Satellite Plus LED lighting for my tank... I cant wait to get it in!!
Love this KG Family . ! Can’t wait for the next upload . Stay healthy y’all
I’m 19 with a 450 plywood tank I built. If a teenager actually enjoys he hobby they will maintain their tank.
Man, the biggest i have is a 55
Brandon Edinger we all start somewhere. I’ve been keeping fish since I was 9 and got very into it a few years later so my 18th birthday present was getting permission to build that tank😂😂
I'm 21. I have been keeping tanks since I was 16. Used to have a 15g but now I have 2x 5 gallon planted betta tanks and only 1 of them has a betta in it... 😂 I think soon I'll be setting up a 50 gallon community freshwater and a 10ish gallon reef tank. :) the only things that hold me back are the cost and my family
Spirit I’m ready for my own house at this point. I just wanna have tanks everywhere 😂
Only a 10 gallon with my guppies they are about 1 and a half years old and look healthy (•‿•)
Family time! Awesome!
Reminds me of the days we had big fish tanks..every one helped.🐟🐟🐟🐟
I need a tank boy. Then I can sit back, with a cocktail.
growing up my dad and grandpa kept fish i was surrounded by at max around 17 tanks when I was a kid. been doing tank maintenance since i was 11.
you have so many animals and so many children, its like a small zoo ahahah
Family goals!
Question does a hang on back filter loose it GPH over time?
Nice kids. You and Lisa have a cute family. 👍🍄✌🌷
Great video! So glad make it like a family outing lol. But really so nice getting everyone involved and hopefully getting the next generation on their start in this wonderful relaxing aggravating hobby we all love.
I hope so too!
Love watching all the great content from you guys on a daily basis big live from the uk we never stop learning
so cute both of them
Good video! Don't forget to wash/rinse your hands and arms before reaching down into the tank (and have plenty of towels around) ;)
Good video! Thanks for breaking all the steps down👍
Glad it was helpful!
Great video because you are explaining at the start to a beginner. This means anyone that comes along can use this video from beginner or expert. I may have finally learned how to start a siphon even. Yea I still not can not it almost a year later. lol
I haven't been here for a long time but I think I love this Channel well I know I love it the Awesome Fish and the Family Vibes
I had a good time watching you and CJ clean the fish tank. Can I get CJ clean my 4 fish tanks I have. 🐠🇵🇷💘
Your family is so wonderful.
Beautiful family i get alot of knowledge from you and your wife great channel
I often wondered if the cats found the tank tops yet...living proof.
Passing it on!!!👌🏼💪🏽👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼the knowledge
A life changer even for one 75 gallon
Regrettably, I had the most amazing 4ft mbuna tank when I was younger... I neglected it so badly and killed so many fish, especially buy buying the wrong tank mates because I really liked them, like lots of south american Cichlids that lasted only a couple of days.. Wish I owned that tank now with the time, patience, appreciation, knowledge and all the RUclips videos! Ahh well I've grown up and am now a proud South/Central American only large tank owner and fish keeper 😊 Videos like this are great for the youth!
good video John
Dude he totally can do this!!!
Kensey looks so much like Lisa
where can i get that tree trunk. its beautiful.!!!
I usually do water changes with my shirt off. Obviously not an option for RUclips. But faster than rolling up sleeves.
Awesome video guys beautiful family you got there bud keep em comin
Love how everyone has a part...much braver than me for being in front of the camera. Hey Reno, good to see you’re feeling better. Way to keep the in-house feline urologist on his toes. ;-)
Your son did an amazing job.
Great family entertaining video, normally i get bored halfway through with vids but this one kept me entertained until the end, nice one, small tip for your apprentice , dont pour the dirty water onto the grass put it into a watering can and water your outside plants, its makes great fertilizer.
Excellent video however, the only thing i do differently is i do not turn off the tank lights so they stay on while i work it makes it much easier to see.
Very informative! Thank you.
Family Fishkeeping, love it.
Did I hear him say “welcome to gulag”😂😂😂
Inspiration Quote: It's good to teach younger people it's good to continue the tradition very good video 🎆🎇🎉🎊
I'm 18 and I'm building a 400-gallon plywood aquarium. If you know what you're doing, you know what you're doing.
awsome work again john
You should have CJ in more videos, he seems pretty good for the job. 😉
Lol. Great video with the whole family. So nice! Why 50%? How long since the last cleaning? 😊
Your cats are adorable!!!
If were sitting in a chair at the beginning, he could pass as a Bond villain. Multiple tanks in the background with a cat in hand.
When I was 14 I got a job at the LFS and saved up to buy myself a 180 gallon tank I got permission to buy (I don't think they thought I was as serious as I was). Now I won't pretend I took care of it as well as I do my tanks now over 30 years later, but my fish were healthy through high school and most made it through college despite my only being able to do water changes and filter maintenance when I came home and it being honestly overstocked with, at that point, very large cichlids. So yeah, kids can do it, but I won't pretend there weren't times when my focus waned and the tanks got neglected some. Thankfully, my dad was always there to point out when they didn't look good, lol.
You have to do ,what you have to but you're teaching him the in and outs of the fish hobby getting your water changes done.
So is he charge you by the hour or by tanks LOL.
Good luck
I use a pump and hose to pull the water out. It a little faster
Hi KG tropical nice vid
I'd print a paper with instructions on and seal it in plastic to put on the wall (:
My mom did the list thing, with me, when I was learning chores. She'd write the steps down and walk me thru it the first 2 or three times and then let me have at it.
Nice video, Cute cat, not sure I'd trust it alone in that room LOL.. Just thinking about what you were saying at 8:40 about the sand being pulled into the siphon, I wanted to suggest you try drilling a couple of holes into the tube thereby slowing down the suction a little so only lighter dirt gets sucked up so you can make it easier and quicker to go around the whole tank. Might be worth experimenting on a spare bit of pipe..
Awesome video, great to see the family! Your African cichlids are looking beautiful! Why are you trying to snap a towel on the mans butt while he does tank maintenance lmao 🤣
I have been keeping fish since I was 13 years old! If you have the passion, it is a piece of cake for a teenager!👍😊
How big of a tank do you need to keep a teenager in? Are they aggressive?
Nice family working there ^_^ btw , i use to watch you a lot , you teach a lot and I thank you for what i learned from you , for this ^_^ i will subscribe for now , Keep up ^_^
Very UCI. You ave great kids. Blessed brother
A very good demonstration on how to teach someone a job. Explain, show, they review the process, correct any mistake and be patient. In addition you are a great dad! A bit lazy but a great dad.
Great video. Lovely family.
