They may not be friends anymore.
I don't know.
anyway i find that one oh i've got something to show
y'all this is cool let me see if i can
let me see if i can do it i don't know if i can
do it all right hold on i went out collecting
yesterday and we did a little bit of video
and i want to show you i can figure out how
to do this
silly thing come
on we're having technical difficulty oh technically yeah that's putting
it mildly. No, I'm of no
help. I don't know how to do it. Alright, I got
it. Check this out.
This is Fat Father...
Okay, now I gotta
tell y'all what this is.
This is Father Fish
who is on the road
back from
abject collapse
to a state of
functionability.
After one week's therapy,
I went out in the
muck and the mud and the grime and the grit
yesterday and collected among other things leaf
mold which i have been dying to collect so
here's here's i'll give you
a play-by-play here's um here's father
fish now this this is a a stream
that... I like that ponytail.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
Keeps it out of my eyes.
I'm going to
lose weight. See that gut?
That's going.
That's going, going home. Right. By the end
of the year, that's going to be down
by 25 pounds.
All right. You can do it.
I'm going to get slim and fit
again. All right. Okay, so
here we go. Let's see if...
Let's see if I can turn it on.
Oh, God.
This thing is, I don't even know how to turn this on.
Come on.
Honestly.
There it is.
Okay.
All right.
Here we go.
Oh, no.
This is an hour and a half away.
Now, I'm walking in mud.
This is about almost went over there.
Caught myself with the net.
This mud gets about two foot deep up to my knees.
And so that's why I'm walking.
Yeah, it's impossible to walk in.
I'm sucking my foot out of the mud in order to take a step.
I have booties on, which means they didn't pull off my feet.
If I'd have worn tennis shoes, I'd have lost them.
I'm trying to get over there.
You can see over here, you can see the leaves laying on the bottom.
That's what I'm after.
Oh, yeah.
One more step now.
One more step, and I'll be there.
You can do it.
I can do it.
I know I can.
I know I can.
You did do it.
There it is.
There's the step.
There's the step.
As it goes down and down.
See how it goes down?
You're getting deeper and deeper.
Two inches of mud.
Two feet, I mean.
Down to my knees.
I'm in mud up to my knees.
But I got the leaves.
And that's what I needed in order to be able to do the next
video, which is to set up an aquarium with a food web.
And I've now collected the last element that I needed for the food web.
See how muddy it is?
But it's a beautiful place.
We got 50 Elasmobranch there yesterday.
Oh, wow.
Really magnificent.
just absolutely amazing i discovered this place about
a year ago i was driving down the road and
i saw it and knew instantly that this is what i have
been looking for for years it's two ditches
running about 500 yards on either side of the road
and it's running water and it has
i've i've caught so far six different species
of fish in it plus about about 10 different kinds of
plants an enormous variety of plants
so all right here we go now i found i found a walking stick
there you go that and this is going to make it possible
for me to get back otherwise i just go
down and down forever it was what i went
at the two foot level that shows an experience uh look at you
now what i got to do is get rid of the net
and the bucket so i'm going to throw them up
on shore and i like that and here we go
the return trip that's 81 years old there guys
that's pretty tough and with the hip
that gives you trouble yeah i tell you well
the weight's the
big killer i gotta get that weight off i started cardiac rehab uh
this past week i've never been
able to do that because i didn't have any strength
in my legs now that's improving look at that
is it up up and away all right man if i'm getting around
if i'm even still here at 81 if i can get
around like that i'm doing something you did
a great job look at all right that i think you need
that is fun that's a lot and i love
when you share that that's really cool because that's
things that some of us don't get to do or see
so that's pretty cool i had so now we get to learn
about the leaf litter so right exactly um i got
a call from kyle who i met at Aquacella
wants to go to go collecting so i'm back in touch
so we'll see if we get a collecting trip up that
would be fun all right chris travis here hey chris nice
to see you mermaids chorus david j
watch those ankle biters i know
no leeches yet i'll tell you what happened though was there
last week and i felt a burning on on the top
of my foot and it just was aggravating and i just
you know what do you do it burns
so you know i just kept going i realized that evening it was
fire ants. Apparently
one, one fire ant
bit a ring
of about six bites
in a circle.
Well, you know,
I learned
a lesson years ago.
When you get bit by a fire ant,
what you do is leave
it alone.
You do not scratch it.
You know you can put
calamine lotion on it, or
something, but you don't
scratch it because it'll create an open wound that'll
take forever to heal. So it's still
better. You know what? It's actually
it's almost gone. Ten days later.
They make metal long poles.
Yeah, well, I know.
But it's not as exciting.
It wouldn't be near as much fun.
really well you know i had two nets there
with six foot poles but they were big like three foot
wide big net and i wanted a guy was i was aiming
for something that i really i did not expect the
mud that's what it was when i went
in there it looked like this is going to be a breeze
and it was anything but.
I'm amazed I didn't fall down
because I usually fall down.
Okay, you do good.
Chris Trapp, David Brad
Hobbies. Who else
is here? Tim, a lot of
oh, here we go again.
A lot of sewer.
A lot of
sewer. Tim!
Hey, Randy Roman.
Just added a
crib. Blaze and
Max added a crib.
to his tank. I've got some cribs in here.
I don't know if we can see them. I've got
a, I don't know how many I have. Four or five.
Well, they're all hiding now. Nobody's going
to come out. Figures. Where are you guys?
Put a little food in there, a little bit.
I spelled it right. That ain't food. Jeffrey Watts.
The dangerous duo, yeah. How are you,
Jeffrey. Hey, John
Sula. There's John
and Hard Decoder.
I said Randy Bowman.
I think I said, did I get everybody?
Always great to see you.
There's a puffer. There's a crab.
There's a crab. There's another
one back there. I think I've got
babies in there. I keep thinking
I've got babies in there. I'd have to see them.
Yeah.
Here they
are.
They're the crabs.
Yeah, nice.
Such a pretty fish.
There's a female.
That's a male right above her.
Two males and a female there.
There is another female in here.
That's a little Formosa, which is the tiniest live bear.
They're native Florida fish.
And these are sailfin mollies, little ones, green sailfin mollies.
I think there are a few Elasoma in there.
but you never see them glory don't
you worry about gators brad says
or the snakes he is in
well i'll tell you what i'm going out i'm going out
um crabbing soon and i've got a yeah i've got
a i got a picture here somewhere where in the world
is oh here it is check this out so this
So, this will drive you.
Look at this.
Jacob Jackson.
There you go.
Do you see what he's got?
Yeah.
You don't want to be stuck in the mud near that.
He is crunching a blue crab.
He's already smashed it, and he's about to swallow it.
Oh, my gosh.
Isn't that amazing?
It is.
It's hard to believe that, you know, it's just like that.
Florida is such a neat place.
Y'all are so tropical.
You just have so much wildlife.
uh jacob flaxton's asking
a question yes you want me to read it sure go ahead
said he added leaf litter to my top layer
of sand tank has been set up for three weeks or so
water is starting to brown a little probably
from tannins releasing will this clear up over time as
the tank matures yes that would be yeah where
is it give me a time stamp on that oh i got it
Jacob Claxton.
Oh, let's see.
Water's starting to brown a little.
Yeah, well, it will, but it may not.
You can clear it up by doing water changes.
But tannin water is actually very healthy water.
If you're looking to keep tetras, live bearers, South
American snakewoods, tannin water is really desirable.
so don't feel like it's a negative it's not at all
a negative it's really something that's very
positive if it gets too dark
and you don't like it just do some 10 15 percent water changes
and you'll be able to get it back
but it's not a problem don't worry about it uh brad says i
I think I heard Mary say hard decoders.
If you wanted to talk to them about
the dying fish in a wall stud the other day,
what is he referring to?
I don't know if he's talking about maybe something
that came up in a chat the other day,
but he also, Brad, put in the Discord link.
I don't know when it was.
It must have been one of your other,
was it one of the other streams this week?
That maybe they would ask you questions.
Yeah, there's so much that goes on in that Discord.
it's really kind of amazing we're up
to almost 525 people really at any one point in time they're
about a i don't know between 50 and 100 people online
and we have a number of different channels
so you can get on and talk about a number
of different subjects you can post things
you can post pictures of your tank you can get help
if you're having a problem
it just it's really wonderful
or you can just shoot the breeze just go in and have fun you know
hey hard decoder says uh they're backstage oh
they're not okay who was it it was hard decoder
said hello um hello sir this is me from backstage i really want
to show you my plant tank but his
battery was low so he may have lost it they
were okay i didn't see him sorry that's all right
5.58, Brad kind of explains what it was.
Brad said he has a question the other day, and I didn't time him.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hi, Devil Dog.
Yeah, and I got totally mixed up about that, which was my fault.
I kind of jumped the gun,
and I thought it was somebody trying to spam us.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I talked to Brad afterwards and realized what had happened.
And so we're having our decoder again.
Are you able to come over to Discord?
I think that's where we're going
to be able to help you.
In the meantime, I'll turn you blue.
Blue.
There you go.
Turn you blue.
Chris Trapp, around what year did
commercial fish food show up, Father Fish?
Well, gee, you know what?
The very first manufacturer that had any kind
of national distribution was Wardley.
And Wardley started in about the 1930s.
So they've been around almost 100 years.
They're in their 10th decade.
So it'll be 100 years shortly.
And this is a brand new.
I mean, they're still around.
They're still manufacturing.
In fact, when I moved to Florida in 1991,
they had a large distribution center where they
were wholesaling the complete spectrum of pets.
I don't think they had dogs, but they might have.
They had all of the small rodents, hamsters,
rats, mice, chinchillas, guinea pigs.
They had all of that.
They had birds, a wide range of birds, lots of finches,
parakeets, canaries, big birds as well.
And they had fish.
Now, I don't know if they were doing saltwater.
They were doing freshwater.
And they had a huge operation.
The year I moved to Florida, they dismantled
that entire facility and moved their manufacturing,
which was a separate component.
I think it was already located in New Jersey.
They just shut down the Florida operation,
got rid of all the animals, got out of animals altogether.
I had friends who got magnificent birds,
and they had been there a long, long time.
So they had developed some things that were really kind of exciting.
The buildings are still there.
It's been 30 years later.
Their ramshackle, of course, just fallen down,
and a lot of greenhouses and buildings that no longer have roofs.
But I didn't get in there.
I got here just as they were leaving
and never really got a chance to see the operation.
But that was Wardley.
My grandmother, my grandmother fed Wardley fish food.
That's really where I remember it from, from my childhood in the 40s.
She had a little tin of Wardley fish food.
A man bug.
Lady Diane said she had that forever.
Hard to code her.
Sorry about the confusion.
My real name is Aditya. Good morning all, just feel
so nicely in this kind of supporting community
this is exactly what we like
in India you know you've got I don't know there there's a gentleman
in India I don't know if I can find him quickly
or not who has a remarkable site but it's all in
Hindustani it's not translated in English
um but he's got a very very very big channel
like upwards of a million followers I think
I mean I don't remember what the number is
but it's a big big number
and my sense of him is that he reaches out to other people in
his community and tries to be supportive of them. He's
an older gentleman, probably in his early 60s
I would guess. I'm just scrolling through. He popped up
earlier today and I thought I might be able to find him, but
I'm not finding him. Now we know it's Kenny. What up, fish people?
There he is. Hey, Kenny. Oh, here he is.
I found him. I did, yeah.
here he is this is a this is the guy oh yes yeah
I know you're talking about look at that cool
yeah he is uh uh Meyer Dev
and he does really nice stuff look at that just really really
get his hand out of his face there um I've
not tried to communicate with them what i have done
though is um i've i've talked to uh um uh to my
my assistant over there in Sri Lanka Naresh
yeah yeah about doing um doing uh uh what's it
called subtitles in Hindi because about five
about five percent of the people
who watch my channel are in India so i'm i'm i'm planning to
get that together. I don't know when it's going to happen or how long,
but the caption that runs at the bottom of the
page will be in Hindi. So maybe we'll pick up
a bunch of people from there, and maybe we'll be able to communicate
with Meyer Dev. I like what he does. He does
some cool stuff, although he doesn't understand deep substrate.
But I can't hold that against him
because neither does
Corey.
Hey, Detroit Shrimp.
Kenny E. T. Buffy.
Oh, my goodness.
Y'all.
I saw Kenny on Friday night,
so he's feeling better.
Yeah, I hope so.
Yeah, Kenny and I talked.
What was that? He was on with me
today's Sunday.
Yeah, it was Friday.
Friday night. He saved my butt.
The stream was just
on a downhill slide and and he came in and who was the other guy
who came in who had never met
before Pompey Pompey Ranch yeah uh
and they just they they absolutely saved the stream
they were wondering it was and Pompey kind
of skipped out toward the end there
didn't get a chance to thank him i don't think he's here
is oh i haven't seen him yeah he popped
Danny hung on for a while. We were able to talk
so I was able to catch up
with Danny a little bit. Lady Diane
is here. Hello, hello,
hello, my dear. How are you?
Good to see you.
That's nice, Chris.
T-Bone!
Oh, yeah.
I was just going to say, Chris said
I love
watching the new sand video while
surrounded by my sand
tanks. Oh, nice.
right did you like the beach i thought
that was interesting now there's a guy lord i don't know
if i can find well you know what um yeah i posted
a link in the description of that video to a
youtube um a youtuber who's a jamaican
who's a really pardon no sir i'm
not jamaica okay no no
it's not a guy who does fish stuff
he does
nature stuff
and he does a lot of travel
all kinds of things on
Jamaica because he's like
all Jamaicans
he's in love with Jamaica
yeah
I've got Jamaican
friends a bunch of them and they're
all the same
it's like they're cut with a
cookie cutter it's remarkable
They have the same attitudes, the same values.
They're deeply, they're very strong family-oriented,
community-oriented people.
So, you know, they, in many ways, in many ways,
they're very conservative, but not politically.
Politically, they're just out there somewhere.
Somewhere.
Somewhere out there.
They're astoundingly lovely people.
beautiful people and this fella find his link it's
in the description go to his channel you will be
delighted uh the um this this beach scene just gives you
a little little bit of a taste of what
he what he does
but it's really quite nice i hope i hope you check him out and enjoy it
what else is going on detroit shrimp is here yes
detroit shrimp and pompey ranch just came in
Oh, there he is.
Pompey Ranch, you made it.
Wonderful.
I wanted to thank you for Friday night.
You skipped out before I had a chance to express my gratitude.
But it was such a big help having you and then have Kenny coming in.
It just really saved the stream.
And I very much appreciate it.
Plus, you donated a super sticker.
And that was pretty exciting.
so you you made a real genuine contribution to that friday stream
and i'm very very appreciative
Tim Shepard let's see hard decoder
says ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
that's what you're changing
in this hobby sir with all that experience
and knowledge literally denting the planted aquarium
that's probably the right word
because I keep
hitting it with this hammer
it's a sand hammer
where's my bell
boy that rings
I've got a new microphone
and I've got
I have my camera perched on top
of the microphone
I can't show you but it's kind of cool
it is better isn't it
I didn't realize
who was it, Tommy Denda
last week was saying to me
it was after
I did the Sunday
night stream of Big City Bettors
oh yeah
and he said, Tommy said
to me, you really need to get a better
mic, and I thought, well that's first
time anybody said that, so I went
back, I went to that
specific video to see what
he was talking about, and
Big City Bettors, what is her name?
Amber. Amber, right. I'm ashamed of myself.
She is such a sweet lady, and I've loved her dearly.
And I'm so excited about her coming to Florida.
I'm really very excited about that, because I want to be able to
show her around my fishing poles.
It'll be fun.
Anyway, I listened to her, and I listened to me,
and her voice was so mellow and so soft it was beautiful
and mine was like like i was
hollering into a tin can only it was rattling it
was dreadful never realized that so i immediately
bought a new microphone here it is there's
my new i got a yeti look at that sounds good
look at that all professional yeah my problem with it
though is i don't know how to pick up
the sound when i play a video on the computer i can get the video
but i'm not getting the sound
and i don't know what the problem
is you know what it's probably something in in stream yard
I'll bet it is.
Yeah.
I'll bet it is.
Pompey Ranch.
Last comment.
My husband just filled my quarantine tank.
Pompey Ranch is a lovely lady.
Who says?
My husband just filled my, maybe she's a lady.
I mean, I don't know.
I'm dealing with Tori over there talking about
his husband all the time.
So I never know.
you know we're assuming pompey is elite just filled
my quarantine tank 10 gallons with tiger
barbs oh god sold to him as tetras oh
no my pet smart oh well glad he likes it now he has to buy
me another tank oh they're dreadful
el utah el utah is here hello lady diane
And child, what is he talking about?
Chris asked me a question, too.
Chris asked, how has the availability
of aquarium plants increased in your time, Lou?
Oh, my word.
When I first, my first tank, there were two plants available.
There was anacharis and water sprite.
And that was it.
You either got anacharis or you got water sprite.
And then the next one that came along was Valisneria.
So then there was Valisneria.
Now we had three.
Now we could actually design a tank.
I'll tell you what, with what's happening,
I have a farmer I work with who ships in from Holland
and other places around the world.
So he gets everything.
He's a pretty high-end guy.
And I'm just constantly astounded.
at the incredible variety of plants that are available.
His normal availability is probably,
I don't know,
I want to say 250 to 300 different species of plants at any one time.
It's just amazing.
Plus, he does bog plants on top of that.
He does insectivore plants, whatever they're called.
um he does some he does some air plants um you know
so he just has an enormous variety of stuff
so i can get lilies from him i get bog plants
and i get stuff for people's ponds yeah great
supplier just got me a new plant oh that's what whose
is that i have that book i think i have
that book. I don't know where it is.
I'm just looking at my
I do somewhere. I have
lost track of my
library. It is a
nice book. It's a great book.
I just miss sitting down with a book and just
you know, like looking at pictures
and reading. I can look on the internet all day
but there's just something different about
reading. It's a great way to learn
too, you know, because you can
refer back. What do you
got there?
That's my office table from George Washington
really
I've never seen it
I've also never seen
DIY's book
a couple of
really nice book
I don't think I'm going to do a book
I've got
we put together
a series of videos
there are 10 videos
for beginners
that describe every step in the process
of creating a tank
and maintaining
including the food web
and that is available
on Patreon
you can become a Patreon member
and be able to
use that. Not yet Lady Diane

is here hi there we got you we got him
and there's hello how
are you good to see you welcome
yeah same here same here actually i wanted
to show you my tank from a very long time
I wasn't just getting the right opportunity
for it okay tell you what let me give you
full screen yeah go right ahead I'm gonna give
you full screen there it is oh wow beautiful
oh beautiful I know it might seem a little bit overcrowded
but uh I'm doing regular water
changes so no hurt in that no harm
in that you know sort plants look good yeah so this
is this is all your method everything okay yeah i really like
those the dwarf chain swords i have a
lot of those and i really like them they they carpet
a tank very nicely yeah that's what i
have made that's really nice
and he's got um glofish in there
there's some
they're hiding i guess
some molly
back there
some molly
some
they're all sort of
planting the pot
yeah so this was a tank i was talking about
the fish were dying very rapidly
then you
started to add the air pump right
so this is it
and that solved the problem
yeah
aquatics by nature
over on discord has been talking about
that and it's really impressed on all of us
The importance of water movement,
water current, and adequate oxygenation.
If you've got any number of fish in a tank,
you really have to be sensitive to having adequate oxygenation
and you may not be able to have
a tank without any mechanical device
unless you've got a lot of plants and a few fish.
You can do it, but you can't have a lot of fish.
That's very nice.
It's actually very pretty
I like it.
What size is it?
I guess it's approximately 16 to 17 gallons.
Three and a half.
it's kind of square
nice tank
and a 15 watt
light
oh yeah
it is
so there's one more thing
I figured out actually
as the temperature increases the plants
I guess tend to grow fast
yeah you're doing well

Yeah, six inches of water and two feet of mud.
I would be scared to do that actually. And there's the last step.
Yeah, me personally now I would be like, no, I'm not doing that.
