Thank you Tony for the Thanksgiving message. it is well timed, and much needed!😅 I appreciate you and your contributions to this wonderful hobby. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.❤

Preach on brother! Just got my bag of bugs order and the pendant you included yesterday! Couldn’t be happier with it!

Lucky penny shop talking, lol?

My green water is very dark. Oh and my to 10 gallon microfauna tanks in 1 the scuds are thriving i love it i see hundreds of them,, I decided to but a betta in there to slow down the process of them breeding. Oh 1 more thing I found out that scuds love black beard algae tony. Anyways another great video. I might have to get some more sweet gum seed pods cause the ones I have got in the tank are basically eaten there just like little balls if that makes sense. Yeah the population is that much everyweek I take some out and put in both my tanks my 55 gallon and my other 10 gallon betta tank. Hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving Tony

Preach! Great to hear you voice again. Hope to see you again as well :)

Happy thanksgiving to you. Agreed

Go to nature.

Just got one with my order today. thank you very much it’s super cool for sure

Sure wish you would Ship to CANADA.

Way left field but needed to be said. Thank you and happy thanksgiving!

Great message brother. I myself have been uninvited to holiday gatherings due to political beliefs. We need to unite once again. It’s actually so trivial, the things that separate us

can't wait for your big day on Black Friday. plan on getting a few things from you. thank you so much for all your free info Love your channel have watched all your videos and frequently check to see if there's any new ones I was glad to see that you posted one today. I'm very much into the food web I used to work for Father fish back when he lived here in Florida he taught me all about it

Much love Phillips fish works family! Have a great holiday season!

yes Mother Nature is the the best teacher ! a few teachers aids I might suggest ayahuasca , psilocybin , mescaline ...........

whats the name of this organism?

Not that long ago finding info like this was a tall order. Concepts like this weren't being showcased and talk about outside of close knit hobby groups and academic circles. Thank you for teaching people this, this should be core knowledge for anyone who wants to get in to this hobby.

Will any of these microorganisms be harmful to fish? Or if not these, what kind should we watch out for?

How come the Platy fish aren't pooping??

Beauty!

new subscriber love your videos and site your a great help and understanding you is perfect

Do you recommend leaving the pods in the tank?

Hello Phillips or anyone here, how about scuds genetic diversity itself? I mean, they can breed in furious and quick mode, as long as environment suited and food available, but if I let them breed and breed again, inside that aquarium, and never introducing new scuds from outside, so their choice is inbreed or Linebreed, at prolonged time, then, will the scuds become weaker or even the colony will crash and they're go to extinction?

Okay more like endorsing the green water culture

can humans eat that too? looks healther than anchovies -plus the spirulina (is that whats in the green water?) why buy liquid nutrient (is it just at the start?) dont the moina feed the algae & vice versa

If I wanted to establish some scuds in a community tank with fish as occasional predators, would I have to have a corydora-free tank for this to work? My concern is that I’d imagine corydoras being so relentless that scuds could never get established.

I cannot say thank you enough! I just got my order and I had no idea that little piece of your heart was in there!!! I just bought a pottery wheel and going to get into throwing some stuff… I sure will share the love by giving you something I make some day when I’m good at it!!! Thank you for a VERY WELL packaged order I just opened it was perfect!!! You are the best!!!

I’m in SW Missouri, and I find turtle shells and bones of all sorts walking through the woods. All of these bones have long rotted and bleached and I find keeping them in my tank after a short boil to disinfect keeps my tank happy and provides hiding places and cool waterscapes.

I wish we could show each other our set ups and talk about methods. Loved the video btw

Omg I was looking for this! This video is PERFECT. Thank you! In the Netherlands i could barely find any info about it, nobody's talking about it

So the packets of these in the LFS come filled with water...are the worms not aquatic?

My aquarium has been pretty active. But recently I'm not seeing any daphnia or copepods. I have a few corydora. Think they've eaten their numbers down pretty low? I also tend to feed whole leaves. But recently I've been thinking of shredding those first. Anyone tried using shredded leaves?

I just got mine. They're looking great.

I got one with my Bags o Bugs order. Are they aquarium safe?

I would like to add all types of beneficial microfauna to my 2 tanks: a 40 gallon planted tank with guppies and shrimp and a 40 gallon with a few plants 6 Pigmy Cories and 4 Yoyo loaches. What kind of order would you recommend to seed these tanks enough to make the organisms multiply and get established, not just serve as food just once.

Did you try cocopeat as media ?

Currently I only have terrestrial isopods and I'm currently looking at this species or the titan isopods as my next main attraction isopod

I’ve been looking for years for something like this, how can I get some?

bata

I love that I get a nerd download of info whilst also getting to relax because your voice is so calming!

Do you ship to europe?

Love your video. I've been wanting to try culturing white worms for a long time but didn't know how to start. Now I can't wait to start. I saw that you fed them through a syringe in some white solution. Can you show that portion of your video, the harvesting and feeding in that solution please?

Is it hard to gravel-vac your tank when you have scuds?

Hi, How do you harvest the daphnia from the green water without introducing live green algae into your fish tank which may cause an unwanted bloom? Thanks!

Great explanation at the end

Can you also feed them green peas and can you please make a video of how you dry out algae and mix ir with minced garlic (and how much)? Thank you for sharing all of your informational videos!

the way this man talks u can tell he is smart

Should i be worried about the smails and rat lungworm

What is the name of what u showed first. The long stem flower looking stuff.?

I wish u would of said the names of each micro!!! Im trying to find out what the stem crown white plant looking things is called. Ive looked under a micro scope of a lot of stuff you showed but dont know what all the names of them are. I like the rotifer . I think they are cool
