pressure.

Harry.
Robocop.
They prefer fruits and vegetables.
What is it we're talking about?
need to back up my fish is paku
that's paku is madness madness
manish is it advisable to move
the water with a mug up and down in an aquarium
to put oxygen in an aquarium which are still
uh which are still with a mug you mean like
to splash water um it's it you would have to do it
for long periods of time for it to make any difference
the reality is that standing water
still unmoving standing water moves it's not still
put a drop of food coloring in a still tank
and watch what it does the water will move
and as it does it comes in contact the deeper water comes
in contact with the surface and that's where it
exchanges CO2 for O2 um you can swirl it up and
stir it up you need to do a lot
of that to make a difference
robocop said his fish is a bucket
i've had some nutty pacoos i just had one
a little one about that big kill uh an oscar that big
he chewed at spindle big beautiful oscar it

hello, hello.
Jay and Aquarium, hi there.
A chick, oh, hey,
Father Fish, hope you're doing well
and stay safe. Thank you.
A chick or a chick
or a chick, funny. Yeah, I'm
doing okay.
I'm actually feeling pretty good.
I go to bed wondering
if I'll wake up, and then
I wake up. And I
do that routinely.
I always seem to wake up.
So I guess it will until it does.
I'm a little blurry-eyed this morning.
Everyone say where they're from.
I'm in England.
Lee wants to know where everybody's from.
We have had people on these morning streams
from all four corners of the earth.
It's really been kind of amazing.
Tennessee, Howard, I have
a sore gum, and my plate hurts.
I need to rinse with some salt water.
Let's see, where are we at?
We had South Africa yesterday.
We've got Australia,
Philippines, Spain.
Excuse me.
No Russia.
There should be some Polish.
There are a lot of farmers in Poland.
And also in one of those other
Scandinavian steppes countries.
Bill Witt.
Good morning, Bill.
Bill's in Ohio,
Scott Svensson from Minnesota,
and Chubbs is in New Orleans, and Manish
is a city near Mumbai from Pune, India.
Wonderful. Isn't that amazing? Amazing. It really is.
You know, I had somebody send me an email
or a note yesterday, I guess, talking about
the fact that I'm communicating father
fish wisdom to people all over the world.
And, you know, it's really true.
I mean, it's one sy doozy.
It's not like millions, but it's a wonder.
It's an absolute wonder that we can be linked this way
so easily and so effectively, literally,
literally, from all over the world.
We could have people in here from Nome,
Alaska, and from, well, from everywhere.
Stephen, Stephen's in Virginia.
He never comments, but always in the back watching.
Stephen's with us lurking all the time
Welcome Stephen, nice to have you with us
Ontario, J.F., hour and a half drive north of Toronto
Let's see, oh,
Lee is on Abbey Road in London
Near the Setido, Liverpool, is up north of us
Well, I thought you might be from London
That's really interesting
I haven't told you, Lee,
that both sides of my family
on the male side, my father,
his father, my mother, her father,
all of those going all the way back,
go back to England in the 1600s.
They left England in the early or the mid,
I guess, 1650s as two separate families,
the Parkses and the Foxwells, both of which still exist,
both families still exist in number in England.
But these branches came
to the Richmond Colony in 1660.
They both emigrated north up the east bank
of the Chesapeake Bay, the peninsula,
And both settled in near what is now Cambridge,
Maryland, just outside of which
is Church Creek, outside of which
is a little spit of land called World's End.
No one lives there today.
It is mosquito infested swamp
But that's where both sides of my family settled.
Before it was mosquito-infested
swamp, some nearly 400 years ago,
360 or so years ago.
Each family, the families married,
intermarried once in each century, my parents being
the latest match-up of those families.
So we are settlers.
We are not immigrants. We are settlers,
much as are the Afrikaners settlers being
thrown off their ancestral land in which
no one lived until they settled it.
They were not even aborigines, as was the case here in this country.
South Africa, when the Afrikaners landed,
was absent any human population.
It was a land ready for the taking and ready for the building.
And they did so.
I don't want to talk any more about that.
I just am disheartened
with the way evil strikes in the hearts of men.
and brings about the horrors of all
the things we're seeing all over the world today even in
our own country uh lee thinks i'm
a guru uh india rally
who said this india is your second
do you have
a vintage air pump
robocop says yes i
do let me see if i can
find it actually i have
several this is a newer one this one's only about
50 years old i have several two or three others
i need to set up a little antique display i guess
and it works the belt i remember as a kid
this is a double which is nice i remember as a kid
i had one of these and uh they require some work
but the nice thing about them
is you can uh you can work with them the motors are all
really really good motors
and the pistons work well it's just a matter of keeping them going
you do need a one-way valve you got a young people
over here in rhode island exotic lots of wisdom
thank you so much your generosity to share
your advice thank you exotic nice to meet you and talk
to you see
Manish Rally
Lee
nowhere
is that I missed
a note and I'm
not finding
it oh Lee
Wilcox I was born in Saint Albans and worked all over the world
when I retired Sue and I moved to
port scott island portsmouth england
to be by the sea great history father fish please come back I
would love to I would dare I've never
been to England I would dearly love to come claim my
ancestral mats where I
could languish Nathan
Mellenberger how loud
is it it's
it's not loud it's kind of a pleasant sound actually I mean
if you like the sound of motors
it's not like a screeching
or anything like that it's sort of like a like a a car engine purring
it's a kind of a sort of like
that how long the belt works before
it needs replacement um this one
has um I don't know what
is it called a geared it's geared
so it I don't know if you can see it
it's geared so the belt is not going to have the
strain on it and they hold up better i don't know
how long they last they they really don't burn out
the belts last a very very long time i don't
recall i guess i've had belt stretch you can adjust
the motor a little bit in the bracket
in order to tighten it up but i don't recall ever
really replacing belts i'm sure i did i do recall
while replacing what's the thing that goes in the piston,
the valve, whatever that's called,
the little cup device that causes the air to pump.
Replace those often enough.
Yeah, like a compressor and a spray gun.
Sort of like that, but probably not as loud.
Omar Monsif, much love from New York.
Learned a lot from this great man.
Hope you were doing well.
I'm doing well.
Thank you.
And I'm going to be leaving here
in about 15 minutes to go see
my doctor to get caught up on meds.
What brand soil do you use in your planted tanks?
None in particular.
There are a couple of things I like.
The only thing I use brand-wise consistently is black cow
because it has a consistency that I've
not been able to replicate with anything else.
But I mix that significantly because it's very thick.
I mix it with a lot of peat and potting soil as well, of course,
as sand and about 11 different elements that I put in.
i guess i need to go through another video
and redo all of the uh putting the soil together
i seem to need to do it periodically people don't go back they'll look
at current don't go back
i have a library
but um how many people ever really use the library google has probably
been the best boon to library librarians uh
although i don't know that any librarians
work for google that's an interesting thought they certainly ought
to um we need to look into that
make sure google is hiring librarians in order
to to keep their search engine appropriately
american auto repair my car is in the shop

My passenger car door.
Leland Lee, always nice
to see old equipment compared to what we have now.
Help us appreciate how far this hobby has come.
yeah and you know the thing that's interesting about
this pump is the this was designed for
aquariums i mean the frame is a newer model frame it's
not an original model frame i do have an
original let me see
if i can dig it out hold
on a minute well i'm wrong
this is the same one
look at this guys in the box brand new
in the box supreme positive drive belt that's what that's
called it's got a tag on it two-cylinder
dynamaster with a with a barcode so these are
i don't know that they're still available
but this is the same as the one we were just looking at
just a different color and cleaner
and may well be brand new it's got all the paperwork
real antique in the box all right
that's fun things are built
to last yeah and that's really
true these pumps there's i know people
who still use them 50 years later still using them they
don't go to they don't put out a lot of volume uh
but the old little giants little is that what
they were called little giants they're pretty old
too vibrator pumps they're still in the works
in fact they're all repairable we used
to get repair kits for all of the old vibrators they
still can be but they're so cheap nobody bothers
yeah richter's talking about the design of the
classic aquarium i had an aquarium that i donated
a couple of years ago to a um uh an aquarium
museum being built in san
francisco by the owner of zoo man
the the aquarium is from 1895
it was given to me by the man whose father bought it for him new
and gave it to him in 1895
He gave it to me in about 1975, 80 years later,
and I kept it until, refurbished it,
rebuilt it, kept it until about two years ago,
and thought it would be intelligent to donate it.
They really wanted it.
The Zoo Med rep kept coming and looking at it.
I had it on display.
I'll have to try to find a picture of it.
I don't think I have any videos.
But it had a, it was a little tiny thing, about a two,
three gallon brass corners with little balls on top,
sitting on about inch and a half thick slate.
Really super, super little tank.
I decided that it would be best
to do that rather than allow it
to disappear in an estate sale or some
such thing or wind up on a dump scene.
Howard, Chevy.
Chevy Fish is here.
Hi, Chevy.
Nice to see you.
Oh, Chevy is sharing my links.
Good job.
Richter, Richter, Belmont.
Hello.
Petroman1185.
I use Laterite.
The swords grow big with it.
Laterite's a great pro.
Laterite has an amazing amount of nutrition in it.
It needs breaking down like with sand or some roughage,
but it's really excellent.
I don't use it.
I really should.
I did get a bag of it recently, but I haven't started using it.
All right, we've run through all this.
I think 47.
I'm going to need to go.
I need to get myself together and get out of here.
Thank you, guys.
