- My Native British Temperate Saltwater Marine Rockpool Aquarium Home Fishtank. This I ran for around five years with various residents all caught by myself either in drop nets, push nets, pots or on rod and line. At various times I had cockle, mussel, clam, periwinkle, whelk, dahlia, plumose and beadlet anemone, shrimp, prawn, shore crab, edible crab, hermit crab, lobster, sprat, goby, tompot blenny, shanny, mullet, bass, dab, turbot, whiting, smelt, ballan, corkwing, goldsinny, wrasse, eel, sandeel, sea scorpion, turbot, sole, dogfish, cod, barrel jellyfish, brittlestar, sunstar and common starfish with varying degrees of success. This was laid on a thick bed of sand for biological filtration with regular water changes from the sea near my home. I ran an oversized air filter and oversized protein skimmer and the main diet was chopped frozen prawn from the supermarket. It was a beautiful and easy tank to run except for struggling in the heat of summer when the ttemperature rose inside the house - ideally a chiller unit is required for stability year-round. I removed it after a tank-crash as it had damaged the plaster on the wall of my lounge due to evaporation and splashing (I had no lid for the tank) Welcome to my channel, I hope you enjoy watching all the kayak fishing around the UK, mostly in the North Sea - in the sea and river, fishing for cod, bass, tope, dogfish, smoothound, thornback ray, whiting, wrasse and anything else I can target There's scuba diving off the North Norfolk Coast and Suffolk, wreck diving, reef diving, river diving, even Cenote Diving, in the Red Sea off Egypt, the Mediterranean off Malta and Gozo and in Mexico, Brazil, Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Pembrokeshire in Wales, Swanage and Plymouth and of course the diving with sharks in South Africa. There's kayaking too, including surfing sailing and touring in the UK and abroad and a bit of snorkelling, Plenty of videos too of me fiddling with and driving my classic car, a 1973 Triumph Spitfire and other cars get a look in too. There's cooking, eating, travelling around various cities in Europe - Berlin in Germany, Naples and Rome in Italy, plus the Vatican; Sofia, Varna, Plovdiv and elsewhere in Bulgaria; Lefkosia / Nicosia and much of Cyprus, Krakow in Poland, there's Malta too. Istanbul in Turkey just outside Europe too, and Egypt around Hurghada. Further afield there's a bit of South Africa and Latin America with the Mayan Riviera of Mexico and Rio de Janeiro, Paraty and Isla Grande in Brazil. There's even a bit of Northern Ireland and parts of England mixed in with the nonsense of East Anglia in a camper van with my daughters!

I did this years ago when i was a kid ..i had one shrimp and one tiny flounder stamp size ...i was rally sad one day because i thought the shrimp had died ...i didnt know they molted lol..
Haha brilliant
I was thinking to get a tank with local species, like longspined sea scorpion few crabs and shrimps maybe.. Do u use tap water and mix salt urself or u buy ready mix?
I used to just collect seawater in a large container and use that. I'm only half a mile from the beach so it wasn't a problem for top ups
Meanwhile in Massachusetts, keeping native fish is prohibited by law! And I thought I was free from those arbitrary laws the British have when we threw that tea in the harbor and tarred some tax collectors.
I hadn't thought of putting tea in my tank, the fish might like that! Interesting comment! Technically we cannot keep certain species if they are below the minimum landing size. This would preclude bass, cod, whiting, mackerel, lobster, edible crab and a good few others. That would be EU law - yet I've seen all of the above on sale in markets throughout Europe (but not here, and if I got caught with undersized dead fish I'd been in trouble.)
So are you still using a chiller ? Whats yhe temperaturen?
I never had a chiller. I haven't got the tank anymore either. I miss it
Waaay too-much in one tank (evidenced by the overcrowding and the sheer amount of dead animals). I want something similar, but I’m going to stick to smaller and fewer species. Things like porcelain crabs, shrimp, smaller hermit crabs, starfish, anemones, periwinkles and maybe some shannies or other small demersal fish.
Hi, thanks for the comment. I have to say though that you are actually incorrect - the dead shrimps in this video were mostly already dead when they went in. They were caught in a pushnet and brought home before putting in the tank as food. The live shrimps get predated on over the next few days - everything eats them. With the exception of the sea Scorpion at 3 inches nothing is over two inches in size in this video with the dabs being an inch or so. Most of the filming is done on the sand patches where the flatties and shrimps congregate to hide in the sand and where the prawns and hermit crabs move to feed from the rock parts of the tank. There is one moulted hermit crab seen too, not dead but moved into a larger shel. It's a large tank with sections filmed - with a high capacity air pump/filter and a protein skimmer (vital) both of which were designed for double the capacity of the tank. It was a healthy tank that I kept for four years (until the condensation and salt splashes damaged the plaster on my wall over time as it had no lid). As to your own plans, crabs, beadlet anemones and periwinkles do well, starfish never lasted more than a few days, dahlia and plumose anemones a week or two respectively. Mussels a few weeks. Shannies were fantastic and lasted a couple of years, growing from an inch to 4 inches in some cases. Small bass, eels and turbot thrived, sole and dabs do well unless predated upon (bass and turbot being the culprits), prawns do really well until they moult in which case the bass eat them. Ballan and corkwing wrasse are excellent and long lasting but you haveto control the temperature as they dont do well when it gets warm. Mullet get predated by bass and turbot, gobies do too and are fine and long lasting unless bass are present in which case they get killed off quickly. Tompot blennies are also good inhabitants. Sea Scorpions aren't great and eat anything they can. I would say the minimum tank size you need is 100 litres, mine was around 150 litres, and you MUST have a protein skimmer and a decent depth of sand for efficient biological filtration. Hope this helps.
What kind shrimp in your aquarium
Crangon crangon, I also sometimes had Palaemon serratus depending on what I caught in my nets
What do you feed them?
Chopped prawn
