Got a doctor's appointment. Mercy. Uh-oh, I hope everything's okay, T-Bone. Well, delighted to be here with you, Mary. It's been a long time. Thank you. Yes, sir, it has. Yeah, we need to make a habit of this. All right. I figured maybe here and there you could just invite me up as a guest. Yeah, we'll get back to it. I'll try to round up the kids and leave me alone for a few minutes. Well, you know, we've been talking about something, I wanted to bring it up tonight and just kind of throw this out and see what people think. Somebody the other day reminded me that a while back I talked about doing videos for children. Yeah. And I think it's such a good idea. I don't know that anyone is doing fish tube videos for children. But the way to do it, I think, would be to set up a new channel, a Grandfather Fish channel, if you will. I like it. I don't know anything about doing children's channels. I know there are a number of differences. It monetizes in a completely different way. I don't know how to do that. I don't think we can do chat with it because it exposes children. So, you know, there are some differences, but kind of a Mr. Rogers approach is really what I keep in mind. Something that would be fun, that would be interesting. that would not necessarily, although it could, we could involve children directly on it. Remember, I think of you who were around when I was a kid, remember Howdy Doody and the peanut gallery. It's Howdy Doody time. It's Howdy Doody time. They had kids on every show. I had a neighbor who was actually in the peanut gallery once. his parents took him to New York City, I think it's a great idea, Crystal yes, Crystal, and uh Patrick has come in, Andrew taught taught and psychedelic hippocampus, hey lady, how are you doing? Hi Susan, I've talked to you many times about you know the magic of being a little kid and back when we were youngsters the only time we ever got to see anything as exciting as fish and stuff is if we got to go to a pet store and it was a different situation back then and you kind of you brought that over to your uh shop for many years the magic of having a fish store kids coming up and pressing their faces on the on the glass and seeing the wonders of fish and it's important we need that for our younger generations now they're so exposed to they're so exposed to the internet and you know playing games that a lot of them don't get out in nature like we did when we were kids yeah, getting out in the ditch right I mean I did that through my entire childhood I was forever down in a creek or a ditch or a pond or the bay or the gulf anywhere. Anywhere I could get in the water. I was catching the shark, putting it in the jars Listen, I got put on a restriction or what do you call it when you get shut down by your parents Oh my gosh. Anyway, I walked home from school one day and I wasn't supposed to and there was a pond and I just went over to the pond and yodeled all day long and looked at the turtles and I didn't come home for two hours and i got my rear end in trouble because i was at the creek or the pond i couldn't i loved it really really curious bunny my five-year-old is trying to find new fits from the environment with me it's becoming a part of our homeschooling wonderful here i think that would be a good thing because we have so much homeschooling going through right now. Did you notice they have a channel? Yes. You bet. They can tune in to Father Fish. You bet. How cool is that? Grounded. Adam West said you got grounded. One wanderer, glass box fox, psychedelic hippocampus, everybody. Welcome, welcome. Come on in. The water's great. Yeah, we didn't have technology back in the day. Elaine Lee. Elaine, Elaine, hi, Elaine. I don't know how to say your first name. Louis Cart, I guess. Louis Cart? That sounded good to me. Alan Tooth. I think this is an absolutely wonderful idea because kids are really into being on their phones. And most kids like fish and small critters. You can actually teach them the right way to set up a tank. Right on, Alan. Yeah. you know do y'all remember i know a lot of our people in the chat you know people that have kept fish like you remember the first time you went to the creek and you found a crawdad or a crayfish excuse me we call them craws but i mean just stuff like that is so cool or a little newt or salamander yeah wow yes yes sir hey Petrol Man hey Petrol Man nice to see you simpler times with less distractions. Right. Yes, that's right. Hey, show us those jars you got. Mary got some jars at the dollar store. You got them? Okay. Right there? Sure. Okay, just to give you all an example of what kind of jars, Father Fish is going to talk about resurrection jars. And it's as simple as this. You could just take a quart jar, you know, just a plain old quart jar. Or I went to the dollar store and I found this, which is probably about a half a gallon. And that's a nice little jar right there. And then I found this neat one. This is like a what do you think that is, Father Fish? I don't know. Maybe about a wine bottle. Yeah, like a milk bottle. Right. But these are perfect to do what we're going to talk about tonight. And that's at the dollar store. Can't beat that. yeah resurrection that's a thing to do get kids doing a resurrection jar you know we we started this about i don't know well easter three months ago yeah the resurrection jar and it has grown from that through putting leaves in the tank to dumping the resurrection jar into the aquarium to what we are now understanding as the food web. And this completely revolutionizes what a fish tank is, what an aquarium is, because it makes it something that is genuinely stable, that genuinely is able to provide a full food chain, a cycle of life in your aquarium so that the aquarium itself is feeding every living thing in it. Just remarkable. Yeah, most of you have seen the videos we've been doing about this. Tommy Denda. How do we make sure they don't get bored? They're so used to being entertained. Well, we get them doing things. I think that's key. They need to have their own resurrection jar. Find a container. Get out in the ditch. Put some water in it. Let me show you something. Let's see if I can. All right. This is so cool. Let's see if I can bring this up. Where can I do it? Right here. There it is, uh, who is this? This is Patrick. Polson. Hey Patrick, he did this, let me get it. There we go, there you go, that's cool, yeah we got it live. Hey Jess, look at this, look at all of this stuff. Can you see what's moving in there? Isn't that cool? Look at that. And it, it starts off with just putting the mud or the sludge you get out of a pond or creek, and just put it in a jar and let it go. Look at this. Look at this. That is neat. Yes. That has enough life in it to keep a group of fish alive permanently, Yeah. without ever having to put food in there. What is that right there? What's that little wiggler right there? It is neat. Yeah, those wigglers are, they're what we buy as blackworms. They're a nematode. Neat. That is neat, guys. He's got so much stuff, that's just amazing. And it doesn't cost anything. I mean, you know, like a dollar for a jar. They'll get you a jar, get some sludge or whatever. Yeah. I got some clay out of the bottom of Lake Cumberland the other day. My grandkids swam out and they dug up a big bunch underneath, you know, underneath the water there. And they brought it in. It's like a big clay wad they brought in. But that's what I'm going to do with it. I'm going to put some in this and see what happens and see what grows. Who is our other channel we like, Father Fish? Life with Jars. Life with Jars. I love watching that channel. Yes. Yeah, he does a good job of being able to describe what's going on in the jars. Luke Hart. Elaine Luke Hart. Benoxky. Hello. Father Fish's chat has grown a lot more than when I was here before, so I'll try to keep up with it. He's a superstar now after Aqua Shella. That was fun, wasn't it, Father Fish? Oh, my gosh. So glad I did that. I'm glad you did too I really am I think you had a really good time there and it was cool to meet all the other YouTubers and get to know everyone I would love to go to are you going to try to do any other ones like Chicago or anything I'm going to wait next year and do Orlando again and I'll have a booth next year I already talked to somebody about sharing a booth with them well I'll come work at your booth that's right John Sua, hi John Sua, hello hello just turn john blue right on yeah turn definitely turn john blue uh brandon do i put leaf litter on top of sand or mix it in you do both brandon right you put it into that top one inch layer of sand and then add leaf mulch on top of that. So you really do get that whole top inch plus what's on top of the sand living. Take your kids out. Take yourself out. Go out there and just dig up some mud, some sludge, whatever it is in the bottom of a pond, creek, and just put it in the jar. Put it in there. See? Seal it up. Crystal is going to Chicago. Oh, is she? Alright. Adam is talking about Tommy Denda's plan to animate Father Fish. He's working on putting it there. Father Fish needs to be animated. Absolutely. That is right. Elaine said, when I was a kid, we played in the creek for hours. My daughter would play in the creek, but they lived in town and there's no creek there. City kids just miss out on so much. And that's the truth it really is time to get dirty Brandon you're absolutely right Tommy said yeah luring them with some Father Fish cartoons you want to see it watch this look at this this will blow you away okay i'm ready let's come on get up you can get it no look at that big smile let me get it back here we go i think you should make Father Fish as a superhero Isn't that funny looking? Look at that. Right on the curious bunny. Tommy, this is part of the cartoon stuff that Tommy's working on. Tommy is so talented. It's just amazing. Well, I'm so happy to finally be working on a project with him. Because he's come up with a number of ideas over the last almost a year. Well, I guess he's been he's been helping you ever since the beginning. He like got your, didn't he get your website going and stuff? Dad, that's right. Yes, sir. Facebook page. Yeah, it did. Facebook page. Right. Curious bunny. When I lived in the cities, there were very few places to get out in nature. It was when I was in the suburbs that I found natural bodies of water. Yeah, it's really tough. You live in the city. It is. Where I lived in Virginia, we had those ponds that were in between the neighborhoods, and I'm sure they were part of the water processing plant, you know, part of the, I don't know if you want to call it the sewer system, whatever it was. We had some beautiful ponds, and I really enjoyed them. But now I'm back in Kentucky where I can hit the creek. Uh-oh, did I freeze? Or did Father Fish freeze? Love you guys. I'm so glad to be here. i don't know if he froze or i did but i've had so much good times with like doing these jars like just taking out you know like some mud out of a pond putting them in it and you wouldn't believe the life that comes together i'll put some snails in there or something like that but it's so neat it's just neat to just put put you some of the stuff you dig out of a creek or a pond and if you want to cap it with some sand and then just add you know like some shrimp or some snails you don't even have to do that but i do and uh it just thrives in there and it's so cool but that's all you got to do is go to the dollar store find you a little jar like this i think this one's going to be pretty cool i just found this one today and i'm looking forward to uh putting it together And then, of course, if you don't have that, just get you a mason jar. Simple as that. Looky there. Put you some creek gravel or some creek mud in there. Fill it up with the water from the creek. And seal it up and watch the life that comes alive for you. And give it to your kids. Let the kids do it. That's the main thing we're talking about tonight It's getting kids interested in the aquarium hobby. Now, the way I got it, I got inspired in the aquarium hobby was by turtles. My grandfather and I caught turtles all the time, and I loved them. But doing stuff like this is really cool. It's like a science experiment. And if you've got kids old enough to do science, you know, like they have to do the science fair and stuff, this is a great project for them. Put you some stuff in there and let it go. Okay, I was trying to wing it. Oh, that's great. Thank you. Hang on, hold on, the world, I don't know what's going on, yeah both both mine and Father Fish's uh internet is wonky tonight we're having big storms here here too it's been great for ages now all of a sudden tonight it's uh it's being perverse it's because me and you were on here together I guess must be what do we got 33 people up 27 thumbs up thank you guys for all the thumbs up i'm excited about being here i've wanted to visit with Father Fish for a while and i'm just thrilled to be here with you guys hey Blake, there's Blake's Aquatics, like hi Blake, nice to see you one of my favorite channels in the whole world i love Blake's Aquatics you bet uh adam is saying cities need to have more greenery and nature areas i wish there's a video i watched on youtube about the L in New York that's magnificent it's the elevated uh train railway that's about a mile long that they converted to a green walkway and it's absolutely astounding don't remember what it's called it's the New York L i'll try to find the New York L yeah it's wonderful just really really amazing did you find it on youtube is it like a channel yeah it's on youtube it's a standalone video I don't know if they have a channel, but it should be talking about kids using microscopes. Yeah, I had a microscope when I was a kid. I've got a couple of them now. Me too. That's one thing that just fascinates me, and I love to see people like Alex a lot of times on The Secret History, living in your aquarium, does the microscope stuff. That's a nice one. Yeah, I've got a couple of them. There's my other one. I've got two of them. I had three. I sold one to a biologist who needed a microscope. It was kind of Didi's Vendetta. The New York Elle was taught in some of my engineering classes. Oh, cool, Blake. That's right. It's an amazing piece of work. Oh, yes. Blake, I'm so glad to see you here. You guys, check Blake out. He is awesome. Blake's Aquatics Joe Braddock hi Joe back up make sure we get stuff man and you know that's the thing when you set up one of these jars and you put like the whatever pond sludge or creek sludge or whatever in it and you fill it up give it a couple of weeks and just open it up draw a little bit of water out and if you have access to a microscope just check out what's going on in there you'll see amoebas and paramecium and just neat stuff i mean just cool stuff and most people that are into fish are into the sciencey stuff so and blake did some good videos on setting up some jars and uh it's just a lot of fun it really is and get the kids interested in it i think Father Fish lost his internet I'm winging it so but i've set up lots of jars and i've also set up jars for my betta fish i've used like two gallon jars and set up the father fish way where we do like the sand and the gravel and soil substrate then put like three inches of sand on it and then like i've got bettas living in these jars and not this size jars they're bigger but the stuff you can find in here or if you're lucky enough to be near um the ocean go to the ocean and hit one of the little tidal pools where you can dip the gravel or the sand and the the water out of a tidal pool and just seal it up and watch what happens you'll get like uh what is it sea pods i want to say isopods but it's the aquatic term for them but you'll see all kind of little like shrimp come alive you'll see little i don't know how to explain it you'll see all kind of little life come along alive in these jars and it's so much fun turn it sideways let your gravel let your substrate sit this way and then watch the life that comes that starts coming out of this and it doesn't matter where you go if you're like in the city if you can find a creek or a pond somewhere get some if you're near the ocean get some out of a creek or an ocean just use your imagination i don't care if it's a mud puddle just get in the mud puddle and dip you out some dirt some leaf litter um there he is back hey father fish i think he's back yeah i need to flip my camera oh tommy thank you hey look i wouldn't even be on on youtube if it wasn't for father fish i came up what a year ago just to help him with chat i didn't know what i was doing and i still don't but i enjoyed it and um he has taught me a lot like i've just set up my daughter an aquarium it was five months ago and i came back after all those months and that aquarium is thriving like the the simple solution to everything is whatever you're gonna put in there like your soil or base substrate cap it with the sand and let it go and you will be amazed plant as many plant as many plants as you can and you will have a forever aquarium that you can use for any kind of fish you'd like to i'm looking forward to uh getting some different kinds of fish i don't know everything i'm overwhelmed with what i learned on youtube because there's so much great stuff but i know from what i've set up these fish are doing great i haven't lost anything and the aquarium is just absolutely thriving i showed it to a father fish here a little while ago i don't know if i can turn my camera around but um i'm just blown away at the progress this aquarium's made and my daughter's got twins she doesn't have time to take care of her aquarium she really doesn't so i was really worried about it and now she's got an aquarium that they all enjoy and it was due to the father fishway so that's all i gotta say hey her diversity and probensis i'm gonna try joe let me see who's come in craig doniger um just some in Manhattan on a hiker's phone that's a great name he's back you see it's just him it's just YouTube trying to mess with us father fish and i are trying to do a uh stream together and youtube is trying to mess us up right tommy and you know since father fish has gotten out from under that fish store he's really just blossomed he is doing oh i love watching his streams i love watching him up there by himself just sharing the knowledge it's awesome you look professional father fish can we hear you are you there we can see you but i've really missed you guys i've been busy i've been in the middle of moving it's been uh two weeks of moving it took me four days to go from virginia to kentucky i ended up rehoming all of my fish in my aquariums my internet is totally down okay but like i i had three hours to go until i was going to move and i had to like get on facebook marketplace or whatever it was i got on facebook groups and it was facebook of hampton roads virginia and i basically put out an sos that i had two aquariums that needed a place to go and i had two great aquarium people i had a guy named toby and i had a lady named pam i hope they're watching they took my aquariums just the way they were drained them moved them to their houses and filled them back up and left them just the way they were so can we hear you Father Fish, I didn't mean, I didn't mean to host the show, tell me what's going on, I see what's going on in chat, let me check y'all out, hi Brad Hobbies, okay both of our uh our uh internet's going wild, like it's storming here and I think it's storming in Florida too, anybody got any questions or right on Brad, I'm an OG guest okay, he is hurt diversity but our um our internet is kind of wonky, you too Adam West okay Craig Donagher, Craig's Catfish Cave, good morning oh T-Bone, I'm so happy to be here with you guys now Tommy Dendro says I have a great voice Now, listen, my voice sounds like like Reba McEntire and Paula Deen and a couple of hillbillies and something mixed together. Embarrasses me. I can't even believe I get on YouTube, believe it or not How's the situation post moving? My moving? Oh, my gosh My moving, I brought two fish with me I brought a crown tail betta and my little I had a little love. Koi Bettas that I brought with me because she had swim swim bladder issues I brought them with me but the rest of the tanks are gone basically somebody won the lottery for real, like I just got like a hundred dollars worth of stuff from uh PetSodic uh Diego he had sent me some awesome um driftwood pieces with the nubias growing on it and I just kind of just gave up at the end and I was just like somebody come get these aquariums I gotta do something I cannot take the chance because I paid like $60 for my male betta and I could not take the chance of something happening to him so my heart's a little bit broken right now and I'm not I don't have any money so I'm just praying that little bits little bits i'll build back up more each time i watch channels like um what's the big oh adam west what's the biggest oldest fish you've ever kept now that must be from father fish because the oldest fish i've ever kept was bettas i've had one for four years and usually their lifespans about two years to three years but now the oldest fish i've ever kept was a bala sharks years ago i kept them for like 10 years and they got huge and i also kept uh always kept Corydoras Corydoras last forever i did like it was tough but um i just had to do it because we were we were on the road for four days we broke down twice and it just broke my heart but i had money and the fish i had some great fish from jess from Mainstails fur and fins i had the most beautiful guppies you guys have ever seen and they were just starting to reproduce i had all kind of shrimp from LRB Rose Aquatics and um i did have some from Aqua Hana and they had just exploded with babies before i moved and i just like i didn't know what to do i just had to let it go so i still have my i have a 15 gallon long i've had a 33 gallon long that i've kept forever that i even made videos about a while back but i never got it set up and i still have the two five gallon Fluval specs that my family found for me on marketplace facebook marketplace two of them brand new in box five gallon fluval specs for 50 and they're usually like 150 each the main thing i regret is my plants like the fish i regret too but when you've been growing plants for a year it like hurts your heart especially as a new aquascaper or whatever you want to call it and you've like really got plants starting to thrive and stuff and and you're thinking about like making aquascapes like uh alex from secret life or secret history living in your aquarium he was doing an aquascaping contest and um like i could have done so much with of plants i had going on i don't know where Father Fish is but somehow i left alone hey everyone anybody got any questions like let's see oh how's the situation post moving well well i did like i said i kept two bettas i have a crown tail betta and i have my little koi betta that was like a swim bladder issue i shared her one day on um uh terry's tropical tank and um those are the only two fish i have right now so i can't wait to uh the way i'm looking at it is since i've started in the community and i've learned so much from you guys and learned about different fish and it's just like the information coming it's so overwhelming i never knew all this stuff so i've Got these three aquariums, like I said, the 15-gallon long, 33-gallon long, or three, I said three, but it's four aquariums, and the two five-gallons, which I know they're going to be better tank, I think. So that 33-gallon long, I'm looking to go to somebody like Jason from Redfish Bluefish and getting some really cool fish from him. Am I making any sense, I don't even know. I don't know where Father Fish went. This was not supposed to be Mary Page's show. are y'all still there rebooting it yeah deborah i know i don't know if i need to reboot it somebody give me a sign that we don't need him blake come on up with me y'all blake's aquatics oh look at me i hit my camera blake's aquatics is one of the best channels around him and daniken and so many others y'all make sure to check them out i've learned so much 3g you watch me read a book y'all are so funny but now that i'm in kentucky i've learned that we've got a lot of people here there's a leslie's aquatics there's griffin there's uh not fishy mon fish on there's a lot of people here in kentucky uh jack and dan aren't far far from me now which means that um ohio fish rescues not far from me so i'm going to see those guys i'm going to go see those big fish but someday hey jay rock does stuff but i still need a trip to florida i need to go see father fish and i need to go see um i want to see predatory fins i want to go see all those guys y'all help me out here you're like oh yes uh psychedelic if the campus asked me if there if there are any bodies of water near me near your home that you'll do a video tour i sure will we if y'all google lake cumberland somerset kentucky we are right on the lake here it's one of the largest man-made lakes there are and if you're a fisherman you will enjoy striper fishing catfishing walleye um stuff they have a lot of tourism stuff but uh water i went up did he make it i'm a friend i love you so much or um psychedelic hippocampus of the day and it was so nice it was like bath water you could just walk into the lake and it was just awesome i was getting pictures of water moccasins everybody else was freaking out and i was taking pictures of a water moccasin sticking its head up out water hi there now i've lost her goodness sakes mary you're amazing thank you for keeping it going i think i'm here when she's coming back i think she'll be back goodness sakes hi herb diversity nice to see you yeah my i don't know what's happening to my internet i got a brand new service live chat on Thursday i don't know what she's doing the hot mess express express choo-choo that's me hi mary there he is yeah i'm sorry i was just going on and on i don't know what i was doing fine you're still not coming on right here we've we've got a huge gap so i don't know what time is it quarter after six um i was worried i wasn't going to be able to get back on to shut it down and then it would be on all night right but i've never led a whole live stream so y'all forgive me i was just trying to keep it going i was trying to get in on the phone that couldn't do it that's when you thought goodness i was trying to get back on yeah i i guess i've got a signal back i don't know what in the world let's see her pdiversity said talk about the video idea oh thank you blake blake's been here the whole time it really i mean i i'm just so thrilled to see blake here thank you oh but we were talking about resurrection jars uh-oh he froze again this was a setup trying to see how i would do on my own okay so i have anxiety and i'm trying to do the best go out and get you a jar take some mud out of a creek or a pond put it in here put some water in it blake's got a good video on it too and just set it up and see what happens you will see all kind of life going on in this jar or this jar or a mason jar it's a lot of fun and it's great for the kids to do thank you y'all just make sure you laugh okay we need lots of laughter because that's my goal is to make people happy hey adam adam i have not married married okay there you are yeah i think we better shut this down okay it just go ahead adam was adam was that asking about um culturing live foods which i have not done but i've watched your videos on doing like uh the vinegar eels and brine shrimp of course that kind of stuff but that's coming up uh-oh he froze again okay sorry y'all i didn't mean to take over the stream love you it was a lot of fun to hang out with y'all but it is the father fish stream there he is right there oh right there and what i learned from father fish is setting it up his way i've got great sustainable ecosystems that are living and thriving and we were trying to talk about resurrection jars but you guys have a blessed and beautiful day we love you and hopefully i'll come
