10/10 the most soothing and calm voice with the accent, I could listen to this to fall asleep. Not because it’s boring though, I thoroughly enjoyed the video! But because your voice is just SO nice and even lol! Thanks for the help regarding moss attachment!

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Oh wow. Thank you every so much for the lovely compliment. Very kind of you. No worries about the moss, hope you found it useful.

[@aquamate]

Those shrimp tubes will look amazing once the moss grows a bit, thanks for sharing.

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thanks bud, I'm hoping so. I like that flame moss, it should stand up a bit more off the tubes than the likes of Java Moss which tends to spray out in all directions. Thanks for the comment homes, appreciate it.

[@metrikal1]

If you're using lava, hammer some out to a course powder, then when you have that excess super glue throw it on to cover the white. I guess if you wanted you could use black sand on your tubes. Like you said it'll get covered, but it sucks while you have to wait sometimes. Good video, thx mate

Dear Daniel: Most sites online suggest that celestial pearl danios (Danio margaritatus) are strictly tropical fish that need something between about 68 and 80°F. However, examining the average weather of the parts of Myanmar from which they hail, reveals that the temperature dips into the low 60's or even high 50's, for four months straight. For this tank, I’d remove the heater, as neither the CPD’s or the shrimp need one. I find I get the best results with Java moss (Vesicularia dubyana) using black thread to tie it to driftwood. Thank you for sharing this interesting and informative video on attaching flame moss (Taxiphyllum) to these, fine products and ornaments. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Yes I definately feel there is more wiggle room in the temperature we maintain our tanks for several reasons. Unfortunately it can get very cold here especially on winter nights when the heating is off. I have experimented with running a shrimp tank with no heater but Unfortunately there were casualties so I need to keep heaters even at reduced temperatures because as you say fish and shrimp can tolerate them and usually frequently do in the wild. Thank you very much for your thoughts and suggestion bud.

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Oh thanks a lot Cop. Very nice of you bud.

[@Fishaholic]

Great diy project mate, it turned out so well 👍

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thanks very much bud. Aye it's a good start but they'll look even better when they grow in.

[@paulettegray6332]

Great vid daniel and big shout out to rad aquatics he is an awsome guy with amazing products and super customer service

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thanks Paulette. He is all of that for sure and those ledges are so cool.

[@Bearskimethod]

The glue is a great idea, they also sell floral glue, I believe it’s similar to crazy glue (Same ingredients).

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Oh yeah for gluing plants together. I've never tried it but assume it would be okay if it's the same ingredients, good point. Cheers Bearski.

[@gigifabulous]

I'm very excited to use this for my shrimp and snail tank

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Oh good, glad it helped. Have fun with it!

[@eva-louisekhalil9639]

I used superglue and within two weeks, they came loose. How do I get it to stay on?

[@stevenations2883]

Great video, however it would have been nice to see the end results after some time.

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thank you. Yes I should have revisited in time for a follow up video you're right.

[@geraldoyo1]

Brilliant mate, thank you!

[@DanielKeepingFish]

No worries Jerry.

[@robertfletcher3421]

Hi, Daniel very informative. I like those little ledges too. Do a review down the track when they get covered.

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Will do Robert for sure.

[@jackanddan]

those are some super cool plant ledges....problem with turtles is they tear everything up so you gotta be careful....we are renovating every single one of our tanks right now and trying to make them more and more turtle proof hahaha.....we love em but they are ornery little beasts and it's a challenge but it's a fun one!

you should trim the moss a bit shorter , so it will grow out faster!

[@DanielKeepingFish]

For sure. Once it settles trimming it helps it spread like wildfire. 👍

[@Jmastives]

Great video!! Thank you!!

[@DanielKeepingFish]

No worries. Thank you for the nice comnent. 👍

[@jasminsanchez945]

Can I add, preserved moss to rocks for my my aquarium

[@DanielKeepingFish]

I haven't tried it. I know a couple of people that have but it would concern me due to the preserving and dying process if I'm honest.

[@Gnola79Channel]

Nice video & thanks for sharing information 👍

[@DanielKeepingFish]

No worries. Hope it was useful.

[@IslandLifeFishing]

Hey there I found your channel on Kens vlogs tonight. Great looking channel here. We have a couple fish tanks so I’m sure I’ll enjoy your content 👌🏼👊🏼

[@nolasdollsandaquatics9386]

Very cool...

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thanks very much.

[@RNH2O]

Great video! Very helpful information

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thanks very much Mary.

Squad Up homes.

[@taylajoseph3971]

To you have an update on the growth?

[@Cichlids23]

thats really cool..

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thanks man.

[@ProtimAquatics]

I really like it Bro !

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thank you very much bud. Really appreciate the encouragement.

[@blancaortiz5989]

I might sound dumb but what kind of grass or plant can I put on the bottom of my tank ? So it can stick and such.

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Depends really. If you're looking for a grassy look for a bigger tank Dwarf Sagitaria is a nice option. Grows pretty quick. For a smaller tank Dwarf Hairgrass (Eleocharis Acicularis) looks great but can take a long time to grow. If your not using Co2 probably want to get a fair bit of it to start up your grass carpet. You can find both pretty easily in stores or online. Better still if you're part of a local or Facebook, etc fish group ask if someone can send you some to start you off. If folk have Dwarf Sag they generally have some to spare since it grows so quickly.

[@thegreedyworm3120]

I heard you have to wait 7 days for glued things to cure and be allowed into water, or else stuff in the glue will leech into the water. How do you wait a whole week without the water dependent plants drying out and dying?

[@DanielKeepingFish]

I'm not entirely sure that's true. As long as you're using glue which has cyanoaccrylate as the main ingredient I'm sure it's safe to use right away. I do and I haven't had any problems using it. I'm not saying whoever told you that hasn't run into problems but I'm guessing there was a very specific set of circumstances that led to their issues. If in doubt I would always advise erring on the side of caution but like I say I have used this type of glue many many times in my aquariums and it's been fine.

[@xavierayayaell546]

"Knot the cotton around this spoke which I am completely covering with my thumb" :)

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Haha, oh yes. I'll never get a job on the shopping channel. 😂 Hopefully folk will figure out what I mean.

[@jessicahoyle5082]

Hi was it loctite glue that you used? Thanks!

[@DanielKeepingFish]

It was but any superglue with Cianoacrylate as the main ingredient should be fine. Gel type is way better because it doesn't run.

[@abdulrahmanalrayes8693]

Should we out the java moss back in the aquarium after planting it on Rock direct?

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Yes you can add it to your aquarium right away. 👍

[@Tropicalfishcrazechannel]

bro great content video

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thanks very much bud. I really enjoyed making this one.

[@roncraggs9871]

I suddenly have the urge to go for a wee. No idea why...

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Haha, I may have a wee idea about that.

[@crookedbuns]

Could you use aquarium silicone to attach moss or would that be harmful to the plant? I would have assumed the same for glue

[@DanielKeepingFish]

I'm not 100% sure since I've never done it. Only way to find out is try it I guess. 👍

[@crookedbuns]

I'll get back to ye if it worked or my incompetence took over xD

[@yourlocalgartenofbanbanfan]

Just wondering what the best glue to use it? And what thread you use? I'm starting out doing this myself adding moss to things so wanted to use the best things. Thanks

[@DanielKeepingFish]

I don't think it matters too much. Long as the glue is superglue with cyanoaccrylate as the active ingredient that's fine. Gel type is easiest to work with since it doesn't run. Have fun with it.

[@thefishylife6823]

I'm not a big fan of super glue but sometimes there's nothing better?

[@DanielKeepingFish]

I like it. It does the job, quick and easy, readily available, etc. One of the great things about this hobby is there is often several ways of doing things though and we each have different ones we prefer or are comfortable with. How do you attach your moss?

[@leeandmandybattersby5958]

looking to add some to my bogwood but its already been in the tank and its wet will it still work ... those pebbles are so cute

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Yes it will. The water actually helps the glue cure. Give it a go bud.

[@leeandmandybattersby5958]

great will try it

[@benitouchiha]

I got spider wood but saw it looks more for hard scapes. Can you add moss on spider wood or no?

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Yes definitely. Looks great once it's established. Trim it regularly and train it till you've got it how you want it and it will be spectacular.

[@benitouchiha]

@@DanielKeepingFish thank you. I bought some and have it sitting there about a week and was wondering if it was ok haha.

[@DanielKeepingFish]

@@benitouchiha no worries. Yeah I've seen some really nice results with people using moss on spider wood. Have fun with it.

[@beavertown2006]

This is very useful, thanks!

[@DanielKeepingFish]

No worries Beavertown. Glad it helped then.

[@VStag]

Awesome video Thanks for sharing FishFam NJAE19

[@chAKI.Newt.Frog.Shrimp]

GOOD👍👏👏👏😄

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thank you very much.

[@Legzakimbo2002]

Sudden inclination to watch Peep Show...🤔

[@ZR1KingOfTheHillZR1]

I just wasted $40 trying this stupid glue way, The moss was bubbling off the rock wherever the glue was applied. Just tell people to use fishing line off the get go so you're not gonna make a huge mess looking like some jackass gluing your fingers together before probably killing all your fish 😂

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Yep can do that. Or you can just use the gel type super glue so it stays where you put it hey.
