Cardinal Tetras are Going Back Outside to the Wild

[@genxmurse7019]

Those are one of my favorite breeds of fish. I once had a 500 gal pond with a couple of small koi. I experimented by throwing in my Jewel tetras, and within a couple months, their colors turned into the most vibrant ruby-red I had ever seen on those fish.

A thin layer of light color substrate on the tub bottoms will help drop the temp. It will reflect rather than hold the heat. Surprised they can tolerate 93 after being inside lol. Beautiful colors. Keep us posted. And, nice Raccoon swimming pool. Glad they did all that down there, and not in the tubs.

[@BlazinHawk]

killing these live streams Lucas,thank you for passing on your valuable knowledge in each and every video.

[@akl_gaming2625]

Awsome video Lucas. Happy fishkeeping

[@aquariumplantman]

Haha, loving the new iPhone for livestreams Lucas? Good to wake up to more vids to watch from you mate.🤙

[@caewalker9276]

Such pretty fish. Thanks Lucas. Missing the notifications, I keep resetting the bell, but that doesn't help. Sorry I missed you again 😫

[@rustafar_2354]

Great video Lucas. If you get yourself some Polarized fishing sunglasses you could put them in front of the camera lens and then you'll see through that water glare. It works. Try it.

[@LRBaquatics]

Thanks for mentioning, I have noted it.

[@aquariumplantman]

Or just a lens to make it easier as you are intending to do lots of tubbing vids yeah.

[@jlathem56]

What great looking Cardinal Tetras. Hope you do well with them being outside.

[@carbonrili2874]

Happy 4Th of JULY LRB and Everyone.

[@shesellsfish]

Gorgeous cardinals, hope your project works

[@Aquaman429]

Add some leaf litter to breed Cardinals

[@LittleLargeMouth]

They are beautiful even stressed!

[@LRBaquatics]

They werent really stressed in this vid. When I first got them they were white and really stressed which was few weeks ago from the lfs.

[@infiniity5529]

L.R.Bretz's Aquatics how did you manage to help them regain their colour again. I got some from my lfs and few of them are white at the bottom mostly where the red is.

[@Aquaman429]

Neons and Cardinal breed in dark and tanned water

[@louisesowell1981]

Your golden night clouds are so pretty :-)

[@ShotgunAndAShovel]

How did the tetras do?

[@Cgraseck]

I think you are going to have to bring the TDS way down and add some oak leaves if you want the Cardinal eggs to hatch. Good luck, Chris

[@LRBaquatics]

Mayb but gonna try as is to see if something happens.

[@mariaz9538]

HI. I had a raccoon problem with my koi pond until I found out they don't like mint! I put some in a few pots around the pond and no more raccoon issues (if u plant it in the ground it'll take over). Try putting some on the steps and see what happens. It will probably work. Good luck and happy fish keeping

[@fishiontanktics9356]

Notification after the show!?

[@rustafar_2354]

Your lucky, I never get notification. pfff.

[@dudev]

Egg crate and a bucket? I once saw a raccoon climb up a 40-foot palm tree.

[@LRBaquatics]

Lol it was mostly setup for fall down the stairs so I could hear it.

[@Andrew-or4jg]

Before you got the RO system did you keep cardinals in your high PH/hard tap water?

[@LRBaquatics]

I have before, they will live but they dont prefer by any means.

[@richardoconnor7162]

Are there not a black water breeder, like Neons? Needing low PH with high muck like rotting peat in the water.

[@LRBaquatics]

That is part of their normal breeding ground in the wild. I dont know if this will work or not, just giving it a shot.

[@cheeseballs3825]

Did this work? How many did you end up with?

[@LRBaquatics]

I didn’t have any luck

[@taco4u23]

LR take some irish spring soap cut it into pieces put it in socks hang it on the post of your back porch to keep the raccoons away....You will have to do this once a month.

[@Ourfrenchiegirls]

Try putting your left over food that you would throw away out by your tub for the raccoons then maybe they will leave your fish alone. Just an idea.

[@LRBaquatics]

I def. dont want to start feeding them. Then they will get to comfy.

[@Ourfrenchiegirls]

Yea your right. I thought about that after I sent the comment. Also, question about your hard water and ro. I live in ca and have hard water also. About 370 tds out of my tap. I just got rams and have an aquatic life 4 stage unit. Any thoughts on how I should use it for my rams? Should I mix it w my tap? I’m new to rams and ro. Help?

[@03plynn]

A good dog will keep the raccoons away.

[@josephlabranch6595]

What the hell you got the tetras in, tupperware?

[@rustafar_2354]

Nope , watch his earlier video --->>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/n17WhKalnNKVg6s
