Maybe add another 4 minutes of feeding and showing a few clips of your current fry. Bring the video length up to 8 minutes, then you can put an advertisement in. Ad revenue is a big part of income for a channel your size.
Living up to your channel name! Perfect style of video for people to discover fish keeping tricks/tips. "Simple" How To's - keep them short and to the point and I think they would make a great series for your channel.
Was a little skeptical but keen to check this out. Cleaned out a canister filter today on my Blackwater tank. First clue that it may be full of infusoria was the big gold laser Cory fry that was living in it. Put the water and filth in a bucket and let it settle for a cpl of hours. Pipetted some water off the top and was about 10x as thick with infusoria as I get from the standard methods of making it. Thanks for the genius tip. Currently have some very happy dwarf neon rainbow fry :)
Great method. We are not only cleaning our filter, but reusing it as good for fry. What i've seen aswell is keeping different buckets, with diferent ph and conditions, so they will develop different lifeforms, increasing the biodiversity of the food.
Hey nick, i noticed you’ve been doing a few tours of peoples fish rooms recently, i would be curious to see what Arcy aquariums at burleigh heads looks like now after your video almost a year ago it is a beautiful place !
Dude I gave up looking for a simple tutorial for culturing infusoria. You posted this just in time for my tetra breeding!!! Great video as always! I love the new style.
Holy crap. I never knew it was this easy to get infusoria. I could have fed my fish fry using dirty filter water all this time but i just throw them out. Heck, I could have use that when setting up new tanks. Wow. Thanks for sharing
OR.... you could just give the filter media a squish directly in the tank and let the debris (and infusoria) settle in the fry tank? Anyways great video, thanks! 😄
Definitely a better option than grabbing some pond water or leaving some grass/moss to ferment in water. I tried those directions before and ended up with a million hydra. Luckily adult gourami will eat those up in a day :) This is a great alternative.
@@elijahelkins3264 they are tiny creatures related to jellyfish, that have a little stalk on a foot and a bunch of waving arms with nematocysts on them. So when fish fry touch them they sting them and immobilize or kill them. If they invade a tank there's a few types of fish that will clean them out and gouramis are one. Just do a search for 'freshwater hydra' on here to get an idea of what they look like.
Well bugger me, all those canister filter cleans over the years and I could have been feeding my fish with the dirty water. I am about to try and raise some CPD fry so I will be trying this method :)
I really need to try this with my Nothobranchius. I use your yeast method of culturing infusoria, and it works really well. But this looks even quicker and easier. I'll take a look with a microscope tonight and see if I get the same results
Just subscribed, trying to breed my angel fish, I have 4 pairs but they keep failing at fertilizing. Thank you for your videos. I made your micro worm culture and watched allot of other ones. Doubt you read this but I appreciate you
I’ve done this and set up just a microorganism tank, the idea is so i can feed it to my fry. But i guess i’m just paranoid, i am always scared that what if that is not enough for the fry.
I love these simpler videos and seeing that you have been able to release a lot more consistently lately then when you do the more in depth ones that definitely need way more of your time.
Question. If you have already have an established sponge filter in the tank that you put the new fry into can the fry eat directly off that sponge filter or should you do this pulling off of a more populated aquarium sponge. Thanks
How can I get rid of horse hair worms out from my ghost shrimp. I've just started raising them and two of my shrimps have it. One of them have eggs with the infection. I don't know what to do.
Awesome tip, I'm definitely going to be using this. I'm guessing I can boost and extend the life of the culture by dropping in some of the dead leaves from my aquarium plants. Super easy, thanks for sharing.
What I did resulted in much more consistensy. I bought a paramecium culture online. Boiled some wheat berries, put them in with some newly. dechlorinated tap water, and added paramecium to a deli cup. Repeat every 10-14 days to make sure your culture doesn't crash. I always have infusoria, can see it, and can always get it without all the extra gunk!
I have been looking for the double outlet bottle cap that you use on your brine shrimp hatcheries. You stated you bought it on eBay however, I cannot find it. Do you remember what it was called? I would appreciate your help in finding that cap.
White clouds will bread themselves. Just put them in a tank with water a small sponge filter no heater feed 2x daily and sit back and wait for the babies. They don't predate on their young so you don't even need to remove the parents.
Game changer! I had problems breeding Paracheirodon axelrodi for so long as I was not able to feed the fry properly. With this method it worked (although its only 7 which survived..).
If you boil a handful of grass or vegetable scraps and add the water and boiled scraps to your bucket, it will sustain very heavy infusoria production for many weeks. This is how I culture dense populations of ciliates for my high school students to view under the microscope, and to feed my fry.
That is absolutely brilliant, Nick. I think I may have been doing something like that all along without even realizing it. I recently set up two tanks for Kribensis juveniles and in doing so, I put a sponge filter into each that had been sitting and working in tanks that the Kribensis had come from. I filled the tanks about half full with water from the Kribensis' original tanks as well. I figured it's already seasoned. But then I ended up taking the sponges from the hang on back filters and squeezed them into the tanks just to add what I thought would be more beneficial bacteria just to kickstart the tanks a bit quicker. I never even thought about the "edible" microbes I was introducing! I always love it when someone can make sense, and put into perspective things that we take for granted. Good on ya, mate!
mate, great vid as usual! accidentally bumbled onto this cycling new filters . after a few hours in a small container using a small foam filter, the water cleared and noticed beasties were buzzing about, so threw in some soaked yeast, and bingo. its the easiest fastest no cost method ever. water from the same tank, filter goop, yeast = beastie s by the billions. other blokes online showing your method now! well done.
Let me know if you like this style of video. Really ripped it back for this one and did it 'home made'.
I like it.
Love these. Not much cinematic value with gunk and microorganisms, and lovely information is always something I'm needing lol
Mee too
This is the way I love to see your videos very detailed and a easy way like your old videos ❤ love it
Maybe add another 4 minutes of feeding and showing a few clips of your current fry. Bring the video length up to 8 minutes, then you can put an advertisement in. Ad revenue is a big part of income for a channel your size.
I like that your content is easy to understand, straight to the point,and so easy going! You come across super friendly :)

Thanks I’m going to feed this to my Daphnia so I can feed my bigger fish lol
Nice and straight to the fact with out all this and that.......
Thanks
Great video! Thank you for sharing how to do this.
Wow! I'm thinking I could even squeeze a gunky filter into one of my "Resurrection Jars". I love this!
Great method. We are not only cleaning our filter, but reusing it as good for fry.
What i've seen aswell is keeping different buckets, with diferent ph and conditions, so they will develop different lifeforms, increasing the biodiversity of the food.
I had made a lot of water changes in my life, I also say why didn't we know it beforehand. Good job.
Thank you for keeping it so simple this way anybody can do this
I really like how your straight to the point ... really enjoy your videos. Thanks for all the insight and tips. You da man 👍
It literally cannot get more simple than this. Thank you!
Life changing.

With gouramis I some times just breed in a tank wih "diry water"... gouramis are awsome
i love all of your content ,, the short and long videos .
Holy crap. I never knew it was this easy to get infusoria. I could have fed my fish fry using dirty filter water all this time but i just throw them out. Heck, I could have use that when setting up new tanks. Wow. Thanks for sharing
i actually did use your last video to culture infusoria and I looked at them under a microscope.
I really like these shorter very informational videos. I’m sure they are easier to make so if you made more of them i’d be here to watch👍
Love it mate.
VERY-GOOD EXPLANATION VIDEO SHOW :)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
thanks brah
This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing!!
That could not be simpler - thank you! PS: Did you apply light over top or not?
Great video, very informative. Thanks, Gary
Awesome knowledge… great video 👍🏻
Awesome trick, thanks nick!
OR.... you could just give the filter media a squish directly in the tank and let the debris (and infusoria) settle in the fry tank? Anyways great video, thanks! 😄
Definitely a better option than grabbing some pond water or leaving some grass/moss to ferment in water. I tried those directions before and ended up with a million hydra. Luckily adult gourami will eat those up in a day :)

What are hydra?

@@elijahelkins3264 It a beast with many snake heads
Love your vids Keeping Fish Simple❤❤❤ keep up your work
Wow thats cool, is that necessary for guppies too or no?
Good idea mate and if you put an almond leaf and a couple of snails the culture will self sustain.
Bro what if there's bad worm eggs or fungi in that water along with the dirty water
Well bugger me, all those canister filter cleans over the years and I could have been feeding my fish with the dirty water. I am about to try and raise some CPD fry so I will be trying this method :)
hmmm interesting - I was teached today, yes it's a word...
I really need to try this with my Nothobranchius. I use your yeast method of culturing infusoria, and it works really well. But this looks even quicker and easier. I'll take a look with a microscope tonight and see if I get the same results
Do you think adding some yeast would help?
Does putting the lid on help with the smell? I'd like to try this method but don't want to stink up the house.
Just subscribed, trying to breed my angel fish, I have 4 pairs but they keep failing at fertilizing. Thank you for your videos. I made your micro worm culture and watched allot of other ones. Doubt you read this but I appreciate you

How do you stop air lines and filter pipes going mouldy? Then with said mouldy pipes - how do you clean them? I’m allergic to mould so can’t leave it
I love these simpler videos and seeing that you have been able to release a lot more consistently lately then when you do the more in depth ones that definitely need way more of your time.
Can you culture daphnia in a bucket with moss too? Can you culture both together in the bucket?
Question. If you have already have an established sponge filter in the tank that you put the new fry into can the fry eat directly off that sponge filter or should you do this pulling off of a more populated aquarium sponge. Thanks
Thank you for this! i love the recycle and simple ways, its how a fishroom should go!
Can I add more filter juice into the existing jar? Would I have to add more yeast?
How can I get rid of horse hair worms out from my ghost shrimp. I've just started raising them and two of my shrimps have it. One of them have eggs with the infection. I don't know what to do.
Thank you so much for the idea. I’m gonna try this with duckweed….. I will update my response as soon as I see how it goes lol
By adding a cup of the dirty water, won’t that up the nitrates? Ammonia? In the fry container?
Great video! Do you keep the lid on? Or just leaving the bucket open and topping off from time to time?
Awesome tip, I'm definitely going to be using this. I'm guessing I can boost and extend the life of the culture by dropping in some of the dead leaves from my aquarium plants. Super easy, thanks for sharing.
🇩🇰🇩🇰🤩🐡thanks for info love this videos🇩🇰🇩🇰
Can this be feed to betta fry 4-5days old hatched instead of bbs for 5 days until they are 10days old to feed bbs
Thank you for your tutorial is useful..awesome idea bro
Can you make a video on how to breed pygmy cories? Thank you.

Hey bro I need one help from u
What food we can give to betta fry
Love your vids
I have been looking for the double outlet bottle cap that you use on your brine shrimp hatcheries. You stated you bought it on eBay however, I cannot find it. Do you remember what it was called? I would appreciate your help in finding that cap.
Aquarium CO2 System Generator Bottle Cap
Can you feed this to brand new angelfish fry ? How do you know if there's something bad in it to feed fish?
Hey I have a question, how often do you have guppies die
day 2 of asking for a tutorial on how to breed white cloud mountin minnows
White clouds will bread themselves. Just put them in a tank with water a small sponge filter no heater feed 2x daily and sit back and wait for the babies. They don't predate on their young so you don't even need to remove the parents.
i am doing that i feed them flakes brine shrim and blood worms maybe they are to young@@johnhardisty4819
You should try gold fish breeding
The gouramis looked like yellow labs
I am doing it for years ..
Good stuff! Thanks!
It'll be awhile before I drink chocolate milk again.
Mmmmm drinking it now...😂😂😂
Thanks Nick! very nice to see how you can make it "simple" and best wishes for your gourami breeding.
Thanks a lot bro ❤
Your an expert now! Good work
Do you feed the infusoria?
Just briliant! 💪
With this suit all species of fish
Brilliant simple idea Nick
Hi I'm your new fan

We gotta see the bettas
❤ thanks brother
KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid is my motto. Thanks for sharing. I will be using this method soon.
Do u put a lit on it?
mate, great vid as usual!

This is the best tip I've come across in a long time. Maybe this will help me raise Betta Hendra fry. Thanks for sharing!
Superb, I’m gonna try this method out. 👍 Have you tried this with your rams?
I liked your older video too, but this seems perfect for the channel name! Keep it simple! 🙏✌️
Nice
Harika ve bilgilendirici video olmuş.🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏✌️
Thanks for this, it will come in handy with future batches of tiny killifish.
This is so simple and such valuable information! I love your channel!
Thank you! So much better than the smelly rotting lettuce leaf in a jar on my window sill!
Love your videos sharing all the knowledge you collect with the years. ❤
Cool.
Great job on your vedeos. You are a great inspiration! Thank you!
I am from Nepal I need high quality Betta can u help me with it plss 😅
