Good
morning.
You're gone.
Good morning.
Hi there.
Hello.
Are we ready?
I've been missing.
Yeah.
I'm going to let this play through.
You want to sing?
Sure.
I'll have to make it up as I go, but I mean,
your Louis Armstrong has inspired me.
Yeah, really?
Hello, Shirley.
This is Alex Shirley.
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
Doing swell, surely
So well, surely
It's so nice to have you growing
Still swimming, still flowing
Still living nice and strong
Doing well, surely
Feeling swell, surely
It's the morning, we're still shining
And we're swimming nice and strong
Lots of sand
Layered
Keep it tidy in nature
You'll keep your fish so happy
Happy, happy, nice and strong
That's all I got
It's not bad
It's pretty bad
With no thought or prep
I still haven't gone to sleep
You have not gone to sleep
I have not gone to sleep, no
Oh my god, how are you feeling?
I'm good, I'm feeling good actually
yeah i'm just a night owl i get i don't know manic
and and start working on trimming my tank
or doing something like that and then end up staying up all night
and you know when you're
making YouTube videos and doing freelance graphic design you can kind
of do that if that's your
prerogative i guess yeah i suppose that's right it's
a little weird you know anymore i just pass
out at night i can't it won't allow me
to stay awake i used to yeah i think my way my brain
works a little better at night
so ever since my accident yeah oh really oh that's interesting
i'm better in the morning usually i guess i'm just
a bit more alert i don't know and then the
Your town was on the national news because
of that dinosaur that you had roaming around.
Oh, really? I didn't see that.
It was like a 15-foot alligator or something.
Oh, my word.
Well, I noticed we were on the other day with a storm,
which really did not amount to much.
We got about a four-foot storm surge,
but it flooded a couple of streets.
but i think that was it didn't really do any damage
not much wind jason yeah jason got a big
storm i mean so did seattle but not that bad
but he um the power's out at Redfish Bluefish up on
Woodby Island yeah oh no well i hope that doesn't hurt him i hope
so too i mean that he said the
tanks are all like they were at 82
when the power went out at 11 a.m yesterday and he had them all
wrapped in towels and stuff i think
so so i hope he's i don't know well he should not have
probably thanks no the only time i really
had trouble temperature doesn't seem to be
the lack of o2 is yeah well but i mean up here
it's it's 40 degrees right now so that's the
difference yeah sure enough yeah really that's a slight difference
but yeah um you can do you
can take care of the o2 with uh you know just stirring
the water around a little bit helps
somewhat too i've noticed right
but you know the rule is every 15 minutes but i don't know i don't
i don't know what the reality is
I had a friend in the winter who had,
I guess, 20 by 30 tanks in his classroom
but the power went
And he had a wood stove in his classroom,
curiously.
So he fired it up, and he heated water.
He heated tank water.
put heated tank water back in the tank.
I was able to, he didn't lose anything.
He was up on, like, doing it, but.
Yeah, well, that's good, though, that he, that that worked.
I did a video a while back on all the things you can do.
If you have plants, I think that you're in a lot better shape, so.
How's that?
Well, I think there's that, but I think more so that they produce
oxygen, you know, like, as long as you have light coming in.
If you have.
Yeah.
video um and when i said what do you
do with the when the power goes
and the strongest thing of the whole video was
so it was
just being
a fool
yeah can can you am i breaking up at all
i feel like my my connection might be bad
just for a second no it's okay no okay
yeah it's it's cold
this morning there's frost this morning
what was i gonna
say mary's frozen
or i am
i'm not able to change oh interesting
because i'm hearing your audios and it sounds all
digital like it sounds distorted i can hear you

but don't eat the fish out of your tank no i have done that i have
done that in fact um last year
or was it the year before we did a special banquet by there
club where I
sacrificed a five-pound
paku and about a five-pound
red-tailed cat, and
we prepared them
a la diner,
and everyone
really did join. They were
wondering, we're going to do that again.
I've got a big paku back there.
We're going to do a
paku, prepare a paku
for the first meeting

thoughts

Okay, let's see.
Good morning, Lori, as always.
Thank you so much for your service, my friend.
She is wonderful.
Chalupa No Tomatoes, Polly Gibbs, Miss Cassie B.
who said her voice is not the best this morning
because she substituted for,
I think it was fifth grade students yesterday.
she didn't realize she didn't know she could use a microphone
and they uh she wore her voice out
i can imagine
um roman uh grb good day hello craig i'm
so yeah i'm losing you sorry i didn't
mean to talk over you you kind of disappeared it's yeah i
was talking to i was uh the story
on KCB I talked to her this morning she's kind
of poor she was teaching a class that day and she
she was trying to
project through that
and by then it was too late
she lost her voice yeah so
but she'll be here tomorrow
she'll be here tomorrow morning you're going
to church tomorrow Mary um probably but I think I
can still come up before we go I might just have
to leave a little bit early if that's okay
absolutely i was telling you yeah your your audio
is really bad for real like we can't even hear
what you're saying hardly what do you think alex sound
in the same way yeah it's um it's like
robotic yeah and it's like we're only getting
a few little bleeps in between let me try
something uh go ahead go on i'm gonna try
to switch camera whatever you're doing right now
it sounds a little bit better yeah it does seem a little better
so who do you think would win
a pacu or an arapaima you know i just watched
an interesting video about a
or piranhas and eels against each other electric eels oh yeah
or arapaima uh world aquarium
singapore he's a really nice guy he he supports
a lot of our channels um he did a video like that
it was pretty interesting oh like like
who would win yeah who would win and it was pretty cool
so y'all might want to check
that one out world singapore aquarium let's see a paku or an arapaima
I don't know, those silver dollars
were pretty vicious on the angel fish.
Well, yeah, that's what I was thinking, too, actually.
At first I was going to say silver dollars, like in a group.
Right.
But, you know, Paku's got, like, the human teeth kind of thing.
Right.
And they have a funny set of teeth.
They're just like a horse.
It looks like they're smiling.
Yeah, they're like horse teeth or human teeth or something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They got better teeth than me.
how are your teeth do they feel better now that you got that one out
or no well kind of i mean
so the tooth part doesn't hurt
but the um the soft tissue is bad yeah oh yeah like
like there's one tooth left in one section of my gums
and so the the gums just they're i can just
tell they're not going to heal around it they're going
to heal everywhere but that tooth so they've
already you know that it was stitched
and everything and i took the stitches out oh did
they actually stitched it oh gosh oh yeah i had five five stitches
at one point Word Dunlap
and GRB asked what size
for each fish alec oh thank you misfit misfit just gave us a 20 super
chat thank you so much maybe he's been having
a microphone well yeah that or he did have car
trouble yesterday that really oh no kind of hurt him it did
so that's very much appreciated he's
only got i think he's got his van
and he was having trouble during the summer because he
tried to go to Predatory Fins oh yeah and didn't make it
because of his radiator or something so
thank you Miss Bits yeah
but anyway i'd love it if he'd take us to see oh yeah i've been trying
to get him to try it again he
and that little girl that worked for him were going and we ended
up at the Shell Factory did you watch
that one yeah yeah that's where we ended up going to
so we'll have to get you get him doing that again okay
so what size fish are you saying
i would say a full-grown paku and a four-foot
arapaima okay what do y'all think let's see what
the chat says and i'll say some hellos i'll say
some hellos real quick Craig Broderick thank you
for coming up last night that was a lot
of fun can you believe those birds alex just cockatoos and
lorikeets like i watched uh Colin Barsby's video
and it was like um and i've watched craig's video where
they're just everywhere
and like the lorikeets are out there grazing on the side of the road
you know like they're everywhere just picking grass
and eating it i didn't realize they ate
grass like that that's pretty neat i know are they eating the grass
or are they eating like worms
i don't know for some reason he said they actually ate the grass too
but i'm not sure
maybe maybe like the seeds like you know
like wheat wheat seeds kind of thing right
could be whatever they call it wheat berries yeah um yeah
because they'll eat i know they
eat like seeds and corn and stuff like
when they're in captivity like a mix of like grains
but we'll try to get some hellos
in while we're talking yeah i was trying to think okay let's
think of a let's think of a more fair
or a more a fight that more people could decide with red
devil versus green terror oh
who else just misfit thank you i think misfit just gave him another
twenty dollars oh really misfit bless
your heart thank you that is wonderful truly appreciated
truly appreciated yeah thank you misfits unless you did it on accident
which if you did that's
okay but thank you anyway oh look at the fish oh
my gosh there's a guy he's usually lurking
mark harnett and he just got some wild caught jack watley uh
or through yeah no he got angel
fish some altums there's another name that goes
with them it's an altum something angel fish
beautiful fish though i just checked him out the other day
and um he's he's here usually lurking
with us oh let's see good morning roman i haven't
been feeding my angel fish like they're normal
i've been feeding my angel fish um i've been feeding
them just nothing but whatever's growing
in the tank for a while and uh their poop's
been neon green for like a week oh goodness which
yeah i think it's just all the algae
though uh it must
be but um they're all fine it cleaned
out their digestive system really well though
and then when i gave them normal food i was able to
tell like how long it takes them to digest
by counting you know like how many hours between
feeding and when they went to the bathroom it
was only like two hours really it goes through the
fish pretty quickly goes down pretty quickly yeah
and then all my corys i just did a 50
water change on this tank
and so they're all getting ready to spawn right now going up and
down the glass oh is do you have uh how are you doing
with the new corys you got the ones with
the long fins oh um they're good they're
in the other tank with the lights off um i did the water
change first in that tank
and um they're fine um they've shown spawning action but if they spawn
some other fish ate their eggs like i haven't
put them alone yet yeah i really want like we're
looking at a house later today
and so i'm hoping that maybe we get a house soon sooner than later
because if i could get some of these fish alone i'd
be able to you know their eggs wouldn't get
eaten the second they get laid so right
and that would help because these guys are on cue every
time i do a water change of 50
or more these little yeah these little panda corys will
start spawning like crazy and usually my yeah
and then the cribs too they'll usually start going at
it also um but and then the angels um sergio here
my big my big boy my older one he's gonna be five
coming up here oh wow um yeah and he's got three ladies
which is very odd he killed when it was
just him and one other female so i put him with another male
and three females just to see if
that dynamic would help well he beat the crap out of the other male
and then now he's just got three
females but he's now he's nice to the females
but they're mean to each other now so i don't know
yeah but he spawned with all three of them
at different points in time so it's really
unpredictable yeah um it's what we're watching
so long for uh fidelity in all the cichlids i guess
how would you ship fish
if you lived up north uh
where it's cold i'm 15
and i'm trying to start
selling fish and shrimp and plants from home
so i can get back some of the money i've spent on them
let's see here
coffee has
a question it
looks like let's
see here father
fish would you be
able to reset
Oh my gosh, he's there for your cornet,
and he's got some dog calls about it.
Whoa.
We got angelfish from Altamont
Whoa, I have no idea what that is.
Can you hear us talking about the fish?
Yeah, I can.
It sounds really bad, for real.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with the signal.
I was looking at the YouTube chat,
and it's probably two or three minutes behind.
It's way slow.
Did you at least see that you had
a fish since you did the YouTube chat?
I did. I did. Thank you so much, Ms. Smith.
You're welcome, Allison.
yeah i don't
yeah i don't
Mary try muting
yourself
for one sec
Mary can
you hear
me at all
I can hear you
you can hear me okay
because I don't think Mary
can maybe weird
I don't hear
I just hear some bleeping
bleeping
it's bad
I don't
know
if y'all
can
hear me.
I just can't hear you.
Okay, I'll mute myself.
I'll mute myself.
Hello.
I don't
think
it's me
either.
It's the internet.
You want to shut it down?
I did that already.
Oh, did you?
Okay.
It was a long time ago.
Good morning, Alexander.
Yes.
Okay, it's distorting me, okay it's
on your side Father Fish, yeah
pretty sure, let me put this back
in just be a little bit clearer, we'll figure it out, hopefully go back
to dial-up days, right Greg?
it says no problem Father Fish, it's the least I could
do, your knowledge has helped me personally
and with my maintenance and tank business quite a lot.
Oh, thank you.
Y'all make sure we support each other.
Make sure you share each other's links.
Everybody with a blue wrench beside
their name, you can share your link.
You can share any link
that you hear Father Fish talking about or me talking about.
Y'all just share them.
That's what we're here to do, support each other.
And I'm determined we are going to get him up to 5,000 subscribers.
We've got to.
I showed this last night while he's working on that,
but I showed it last night in the stream.
But Priscilla M.K. did Calendar.
I just want to share it again, if that's okay with everyone.
Did anybody else just do another Super Chat, or is that Misfits?
No?
I didn't miss a Super Chat, did I?
Is that both Misfits?
Oh, I saw
another
one.
Yeah, that's true, Cassie.
Mr. Refacto.
I remember that.
This is really pretty, y'all.
This is Priscilla M.K., which, you know,
Alex is an artist in our community.
So is Punchy Paints, and there's a few of them.
I think Peter from Guppy Guru, he's an artist.
I'm an artist, but I haven't done it in a long time.
But this calendar, I showed it last night on the screen.
It's worth looking at.
I think it's $18.
I can't really hear anything,
so I hope you'll look.
Are you still up here?
There's Father Fish.
I just
wanted
to share that
with y'all
because it is
really nice.
She does some incredible, okay.
Father Fish says he has an unstable internet connection.
Name a drool.
I don't know if I say your name right, but hello.
I'm Mary.
Oh, yeah.
We're building our brand new business.
We like stuff.
I've got an echo, but I didn't hear you.
Didn't you hear me?
I can hear you.
I can hear you.
But now I've got an echo.
What's it sound like to you guys?
How wet socks?
I'll have to check.
I know it came from Brazil.
I think that's what I did
I went for
channel
we're back for a minute
if anybody can share
the MK
channel
link
like I said I hear
talk again
the link
between StreamYard
and YouTube
is minutes long
John
McKenzie
says he
got the
calendar. Oh, sorry, y'all.
That's bad. That's bad.
Oh, dear. Can you hear me?
I can hear you,
but then I'm echoing real bad.
Yeah, that's better than it was. Yeah, we got 42 watching,
22 likes. I don't know if I can make it.
We lost Alex. We lost Alex. Yeah, I'm done. I'm
at 13 likes. So that's
how far back my
YouTube is lagging.
We're at 25.
Yeah, I'm lagging.
Yeah, I'm lagging
minutes behind.
How bad does this sound to you guys?
Petro-Man is asking
for his science.
Who's he talking to?
Petro-Man.
8:34. What time?
8:34. I'm about caught up
on text. Text is
holding up okay.
Yeah, who's he referring
to, do you know?
Cassie was talking about being at Cape Naples,
and I heard they're going to have a launch.
Oh, Holly, I love her.
Yeah, 48 has given up on us.
I don't blame them.
Yeah, it's pretty rough.
Yeah, it's bad.
Let's do this.
Let's just drop it, and I'll credit my message here.
Okay.
Yeah.
Sorry, guys.
We'll come back this evening for sure at 6.
I'll be on different equipment, and hopefully it'll be better.
We've got 30 lights.
Please hit that light button on the way out.
We'll try to get them back up.
Sorry, y'all.
We're just having terrible tech problems here.
Good night, Greg, brother.
It ain't getting better.
And T-Bone.
And T-Bone.
Hey, Chubbs.
Good morning.
Love you guys.
Good morning.
Okay, we'll talk to you in a little bit.
