🔴 LIVE - FATHER FISH AND THE TENNESSEE BOYS HARD AT WORK - THURSDAY AT 3 PM

Alright guys, we've got our visitors are here, Kenny is here, and James is here, and Ed is here, and what I'm going to do is I'm going to turn them loose with a new bag of plants that we just got in. I'm going to go back and videotape them. We're going to do a live stream, and they're going to be planting all the tanks. So give me a minute to get this set up, and we will be good to go. Some companies still have HR stuck between employees and their data, entering data, changing data, more and more sensitive. Let's see if I can get this flipped. Okay, what I'm trying to do is...

Yes. Oh, yeah, I love it. I love it. Right. Yeah. It's a local farm that raises hundreds of different kinds of plants. And that's where I get all my plants. Okay, Kenny, what you got? Looks like a... Ludwigia Rotala Vietnam Rotala. Rotala. It is pretty. A Vietnam Rotala. Very nice. Pretty plant. Do you want tweezers? You're good with that. Okay. Let's see what... Pardon? Right. Okay.

Yeah. So, these tanks, there's water wisteria and not much else. These tanks are native fish, mostly. We'll at some point be collecting some of these so you can both get it well there are flags and there are also some jewels and there are jewels not native but there are flag fish in there yes so you can do the mermaid and the parrot feather in these tanks well can we get down low first it's up to you whatever you want to do you're you're in charge spring water wisteria it's two different plants This is water sprout. So water sprout is thicker. Well, it's a different kind of plant. It's a more rounded leaf. Wisteria is a more pointed leaf. They also grow differently. I love this. It's a giant. Yeah. They're like three feet in this room. Well, the water sprout will also grow floating. But they're totally different kinds of plants. This is the mermaid. I'd rather just take it all out. Yeah, there you go. whatever they're just we do native fish in these in these four tanks it's a new right sure is they both are actually let's see what's going on over here what you're working on oh that's nice that's a pretty plant i like that one yeah exactly and you can kind of mix and match too if you want no they don't need to be what else you got over here you want to get into what do you want to get into. What is that? Bacopa. Smells like licorice. Yeah. I got this open. This is Anubias, and we're not going to plant that right now because these will all go on driftwood when we get around to it. We're not going to do that right now. Like this. This is a good example of Anubias growing on driftwood. That's nice, yeah. Bacopa's a nice plant. That's another Florida native. You can find a lot of that locally. See what they're doing over here. Oh, nice. A flower. A bit of a flower. A lot of these guys do underwater flower. Some are. Yeah, some are. Don't know about that one. Hi, guys. Yeah, we got some people visiting from out of town. They were doing a live stream of them planting all the tanks with the new plants that have just come in. What are you all looking at, looking for? salt water what do you like okay i feel like Hippuridoides very nice pretty pretty plant oh yeah yeah we just did the bacopa over there with Monia gracilis hey be right back you see what you're looking at over here looking at the salt water did you see the pygmy seahorses i have two I'll show you what do you these are anemones they're 25 each i think it is two on a rock that's a coral i'm with it right okay so we got one off and that one's home with a coral i think i can get them off yeah that's a rescue these up here i had some gobies up here which I don't see. I think it's a goby. I can't tell. I think it's a goby. What kind of goby? The only gobies that are out there. I've got some little ones there. That's a goby. There are two of them in there. Just break it up. It's the willow moss. Break it up into small clumps and just spread it around in lots of places yeah that's a pretty one look at that okay and i'm not going to take it off this coral we'll just leave it on because i don't want to injure it here you go here you go Call me when you're ready I'll be right over here how are we doing oh look at this nice all right which is this This is the Anubias gracilis. gracilis? gracilis. T-R-A, I think. gracilis. Wonderful. See how we're doing here. We're getting down to it. We've got a lot of bolts. What are you working on, Teddy? All the mosses, that willow moss. We just got a big clump of, we bought a pound of willow moss. So that'll be wonderful, getting it growing in all of our tanks. Let's see what James is up to. Nutella Wellici. Put that in one of the smaller tanks. Whatever, there or over there. Wherever it needs help. Look at that. Pretty stuff. And you don't need to vary that. It's leaded so you can just kind of let it drip and it'll send roots down all by itself. Nice. Yeah. Very cool. You can spread them out. It is nice, isn't it? Yeah, it tends to sit in shops and get kind of weak. Okay. Sounds good. Uh, 25. Pardon? Yeah, yeah. Sir, did you guys see that fabulous song that she who shall not be named made and sent to leave? You need to go on his channel and listen to it. It is the new opener for, uh, their publication screens. Thank you, guys. You bet. You too. get back on the computer get back over here we're getting down to it there's a lot of balls you spread the balls out yeah under yeah put them what you want to do is they they're different kinds oh good okay yeah open it up let it out uh things like this need to be buried there is a stem see it you see what you want that oh right um same with the scent for the stem off. I don't know. What do you think? It ain't never going to sell that way. We could float them. I don't know where to put them. Someone will have to say maybe here or here. Yes, right. Just called, told me we lost video. We certainly did it. You got a piece of that anyway. Father Fish is haunted, Tommy says. Ain't that the truth? We're not going to fix it. We're going to we're going to be done uh we got all the plants planted um i could go back and show them but it's it's uh not real dependable so i'm not going to worry about it uh what i'll do is get the guys in here give them all a chance say hello uh and then i'm going to take them to to an early dinner after which we might do some collecting and they'll be doing a live stream here again this evening so let me get him in here be right back guys want to come in and say hello on the screen oh let me go get up okay oh they'll be here in a minute thank you Mayor Page for calling had no way of knowing we were dead spinning loading circle that's a cat that's not a dog tommy says the dog moved might have that was his haunted video got frozen at 320 about maybe 10 minutes ago. We did see some of it, though. I guess he got a little bit of it. So we got a chance to see the guys all working hard. Tommy wants to know he's paying for his plane ticket from Denmark to Florida. Come on in, guys. So say hello. I have to tell you, they're a big fish tank. Oh, yeah. Okay, well, they're out there smoking. Oh, all right. They'll be right in. They'll be in. Pull the chair over. Chattanooga Ed's here. Yeah, the small fry out of these guys. Right. So we lost signal at some point with the phone, but I think we got enough for people to get a sense of what we were doing. It was a lot of fun. We did six hours work in about 20 minutes, I think. It was amazing. That's awesome. Well, Daniken, Kenny E, is pretty hungry, so he was flying. Yeah, he was. he did twice as much as anybody right i was trying to get him real pretty right you did good you did good that was a lot of fun i was real curious to see how that would all work out because you know it's everybody always has different ideas and we had um i think there were a hundred what's it 200 it was 200 plants total broken down into groups of about 10 And so there were about 20 bundles of plants. That was very neat. And there are a lot of plants that we don't get to see. So that was really neat. Right. Yeah, try to get a lot of oddball stuff. That one that had the smell was bizarre. Oh, the Bacopa. Isn't that neat? Yeah. And then Kenny found another one that had it, or James, I guess, that had a really nice odor. The Pecopa, when you're out collecting and walking through the brush, the long crepes, you can smell it when you step on it. It smells like licorice. I'm just looking at some of the comments going back. Yeah, you've got a lot of great people in here. Oh, yeah, we do. We have a lot of fun. The morning stream, did you catch it this morning? We had it for about five minutes. but uh man i love your big screen i could read this thing nice yeah we got 40 watching 33 thumbs up here comes kenny makers here's kenny here should i uh yeah maybe you can get in back or something one of you let's try to get everybody in here here well i'm the little guy let's try and slide behind you to stand back there i guess why are we not getting it takes a second it's a delay oh let me get back over to stream oh you're good there we go we're here we're all here wonderful well welcome guys i put them to work as soon as they got here cracking the whip i had six hours work ahead of me they did it all in 20 minutes so now we get to go eat hey hey ian i'm evolving dude i i can i can do plants once in a while plants are good he did good now father fish calls me a week and says they're all dead and we all warned him i mean he was pushing harder than anybody i think he's really hungry we're going out for some seafood and then if we have time we'll do a little collecting uh and then y'all want to come back and do um you want to do a live stream this evening well the one that i do the scheduled one that i do every week is at 10 30 at night so it's a little late it's up to you if you want to do it here i'm i'm game if you're game for it that would be amazing i'll just let him just come back or you know where we can hang out uh-oh he's ringing the bell at us there went the sand bell well nice to have you all here i'm glad to be here it is so neat here it is it is amazing well Tell us what struck you as different than what you expected. I loved the big cichlid pond. What? I loved seeing your deep sand beds in action. I did a whole lot in my fish room. You did. I saw that. And I really enjoyed seeing yours, you know, the seasoned ones. It was really neat. Yeah, they're like 8 to 10 years old. He's got like a two-foot red tail here. Gorgeous fish. Oh, he has a bicher. Oh, he's three-foot. He's huge. All I know is it's not fishing terms. But the bichir is like that. Yeah, I've got a bichir the size of a softball. Big around as a softball. He's immense. Yeah, is that a thing? The size of my head. He came in that way. Somebody grew him out that big. In fact, it was a man who grew out a number of big fish and developed terminal cancer. And nobody in his family was interested in the fish, so he brought the whole collection in. And we were able to get a lot of it farmed out to people who like big fish. But we kept the big bichir. He's just real special. Well, one of the little red tails was sleeping on top of him. Oh, right. I've got two smaller ones. When you say little, you mean only a foot long. Yeah. But the bichir made it look little. Right, right, right. So what was unique for you, James? I like that it's your open air setup. Oh, yeah. You know, you've got the shops open in the back and it's kind of open in the front and it's... Kind of gives you that Caribbean feel. Yeah, you know, it's not your typical, you walk in and it's all sealed up and you get what I'm saying. It's the open air, almost like a market experience, if you will. Oh, very good. I hadn't really thought of it that way. That's great. That's a nice, a nice feel. We have an overhead door in the delivery, overhead garage. It's a big one. It's like, I don't know, 15 feet wide. 20 feet tall. 20 feet tall, yeah. So we threw that open in the summer and fall and spring. James, do you want to sit out here? No, you're good, buddy. I'm just trying to keep this out of my backside. So what was unique for you, Kenny? I love that pond back there with all those big fish. All the pond, yeah. That's my favorite. That's neat, isn't it? That big fish that you have in there is gorgeous. It is pretty. I've got two of those ponds there. I don't know what they are, like 400-gallon big blue ponds that I got out of a fish room from a friend, a very, very good friend who passed about a year and a half ago. He had a stroke and didn't survive the stroke. But he had had fish all his life and just had a huge, huge collection of fish. we were able to get most of those farmed out to new homes. Thank you, Mary. I was looking through comments on here. Thank you all for doing an awesome job. We've got 41 people. 43 now and 40 thumbs up. Thank you for doing that. I still got to moderate even though I'm on here. I like the parakeets too. It's a huge parakeet. Like a terrarium. Atrium. That's neat. did you hear i'm gonna play this did you hear this came through today it's a new song we don't have we don't uh technically have the uh the author yet but we do have oh no this is not Lee's song somebody sent it to Lee and let's see if we can get it to come up everybody coming up so we don't officially know who that is yet but i figured it out and I sent her an invitation and I'm just waiting to hear back because we want that.
