Took a quick video of feeding my gardneri killifish and an unboxing of a very special species of killifish...Fundulopanchex sjoestedti Loe!!! This is a different location that the previous Loe than the pair I had a long time ago. I think I have enough room to devote to this beautiful species and I'm hoping that I can do them justice! Crossing my fingers...

My dragons were being pretty silly :)
Short and silly video on these beautiful killifish. Started collecting eggs and hopefully we will have our first hatch mid to late January :D Some of the most common questions I get involve how to heat betta jars and tanks. Using Flex Watt heating tape makes heating many individual jars very easy! Multiple Flex Watt tapes can also be plugged into the same thermostat, giving you central control over all of your jars and tanks in one go. Check out the updated Spawning section for some new helpful videos! I use CCW plastic square jars, size SG (which is about 1 gallon). They can be heated effectively with one 4" strip of Flex Watt. I also heat 6 gallon square tanks, which fit perfectly on the 12" wide tape. The heating tape and accessories can be found at Big Apple Herp. My phone has such limited storage that it can really only hold one video at a time, so I have to upload it as soon as I make it. It really sucks, but hey, at least it makes me be more active! I know it seems like I'm doing a ton of things, but really, this is just a day in the life of my fish room is like. Just lots of little things :) Here I share some new cheap spawning caves (thanks Greg Jones and Cory for the tip!) and also baking soda for keeping my fish room smelling fresh.
Cory from Aquarium Co-op featured me in one of his Home Show videos! I chose to do the puffer tank :D HIs name is now Super Man Astro! We are near the end of the video and he was so kind to link to my YouTube channel as well. I know that I've been on a roll with tons of short videos :D You guys are lucky because my phone's small storage space means that I have to upload my videos as soon as I film them to make room for the next one! It's been fun videotaping the little things I do in the fish room every day. Cheers! Paramecium are a great food for your tiniest fry that can't eat BBS yet. I started using them for my Elassoma fry especially and have noticed a better survival rate. Quick and super easy to culture and harvest, I recommend these for anyone working with itty bitty fry! The one I culture is Paramecium aurelia, which is the smallest one you can get. San Francisco Bay Area Killifish Association did a group buy on a culture from Carolina Biological Supply, which we distributed among members in the club. Remember, always try to get multiple people culturing live foods just in case yours crash ;) Enjoy! Another easy and quick fish keeping tip! I made some new grindal and white worm cultures for a killifish friend that was visiting from SoCal this weekend. Always share your cultures! That way you can ask for them back in case they crash :p Wow! I've been on a roll with this short videos. YouTube Capture app is awesome because I can quickly shoot videos when I'm just hanging out in my fish room like I would normally do. It's wonderful that I get to share more of my every day activities with you guys! Here I share the way that I hatch Baby Brine Shrimp. It takes less than 10 minutes a day. The easier it is, the more likely you are to do it :) Cheers! I spent last weekend in Las Vegas celebrating my birthday my mom, who also happened to be running the Las Vegas marathon :) One of my best friends from high school also made it! And of course, the Vegas trip itself was the best birthday present ever from my boyfriend (AKA cameraman) <3 Unfortunately, I accidentally left the window open in my fish room while we were gone...and I came back to icky fish :( However, ick is very easy to treat with just heat, salt, and water changes - no antibiotics needed! The ick cleared up overnight after treatment. I will continue to treat them for another 10 days until I am sure the ick is gone. |
