Destroyed Aquascape! Catching Fast Aquarium Fish. How To??? Lol

So this was not an easy mission and didnt go as well as planned but glad its done and made for some great footage and brought up some good tips. This planted freshwater setup has no filter no co2. Hopefully this will help some people who may find themselves in a similar situation. If you love clean Homebred top quality aquatics check out the site below. Thanks for your time! :D

Best video ever! Sometimes I forget even seasoned fish keepers have these moments too. Big respect.....✨

[@AquariumCop]

That center brace is so important - however when catching fish it is a byoutch !!!!!!! ＼(◎o◎)／

[@sickscooter474]

Took me an hour and ten minutes to catch one aulonacara cichlid thats after i took almost every rock and deco out. Lemme tail ya that the center brace is a b**ch. At one point I was tired of going over the cross brace so i left the little net to scare it back to my preferred side.

[@jupiterkingoffire3992]

AquariumCop * do you know what the brace is for❓

[@TrimmedPage]

I died laughing watching you duel wield the nets.😂

[@pjp9383]

This evening, I also watched a video of someone learning how to drive a stick shift, and between that one and your video, I am actually feeling pretty stressed and anxious! 😂😆🤣 Hope you didn't end up crying too hard!

[@Arks123]

I feel your pain, oh the joys of fishkeepbreeding with planted tanks!

[@sickscooter474]

The before and after shot was epic

[@0newyorkcityartist0]

I place a tank divider and slide it toward the fish and then net them in the smaller area.

[@OtDawn]

Lol hectic fish to catch .The aquascape looks just as beautiful after the reconstruct, well done and God Bless !

[@jupiterkingoffire3992]

You had to do battle😆you destabilized a region😆👍🏾you brought that tank to its knees😆fun video to watch👍🏾

[@jeffkoons1538]

YESSS!!! The whistle is back(maybe, hopefully)✌️✌️😏

[@karenbaird2658]

I have a 75 with impossible to catch fish and what I've done is make a divider so I can get the fish cornered in a smaller section but the divider has to fit really well so they can't squeak through!

[@DancingHorseFarm1]

Great idea!!!

[@LRBaquatics]

Thats smart! Now you tell me :P

[@topsekilkram]

Mr. Lucas. I hope you luck out with getting some spawn from those plants. I bet the out takes were funny and forgive my humor at such a frustrating task. Tank looks good after re-assembling. I might recommend checking out amazon for 40g, 55g, 70g, etc... tank dividers or even foam tank dividers/matten filters from flip aquatics. Maybe you can scare them to 1 side and throw a divider in the middle and round them up in that open half next time. Hope that helps with future endeavors. I enjoy your material, especially your shrimp vids.

[@judytrahan6121]

Love your videos, beautiful tanks and fish!

[@TheChubbyGuppy]

I find keeping different color nets can help. They get trained on one color change to another or one bright and one concealing color. When in doubt chase them into a dark container in the water.

[@LRBaquatics]

Interesting

[@kenithburnett1111]

Fry rack and whole fish room update in two parts

[@vampgaia]

Hahahaha! The last time I was moving fish I cursed very creatively. Fish are fast! I wanna see the fry rack for sure.

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

Glad I'm not the only one that has a problem catching fish.. haha..If I can I usually reduce the water level like you did to make it easier.

[@FullMoonAquatics]

Wow! Fast little guys! Feel for ya, Lucas. At least you don't have heavy rocks to move in the tank. Sometimes the only way I can catch the fast guys is right after lights on in the morning.

[@FullMoonAquatics]

You didn't let them get the best of you. Laughing and crying with you. 🤣😪 Planning on a paper towel rack in a door of a stand now. 😉

[@michaelthornley]

A mammoth effort!

[@pitman225]

That was quite the effort to try and film that, great job man! Hope you get some fry out of all that hard work

[@darrylmoore5847]

That was awesome, because it wasn’t me trying to catch the fish lol. This tank shows off the needle leaf java fern beautifully.

[@LRBaquatics]

Lol

[@sickscooter474]

Haha! Employed every net in the fish room. I had me a similar experience catching one peacock cichlid! 1 hour and ten minutes later I got lucky and it jumped in my net!

[@tfranksweeley]

Great video Lucas. I would like to see you do a video on how you keep your betas

[@catfishm.1361]

That was a workout for sure. 👍🏻❤️😆

[@pj2854]

Omg that was hilarious 😂🤣😹

[@Brunnen_Gee]

I'm in the process of re-doing two tanks right now. After I got started I was like "Whyyyyyy did I think this was a good idea..."

[@samwoods8643]

Fish house tour. Multiple parts. One room at a time.

[@fishdreamz348]

What’s in the fry rack? Plants are beautiful!

[@Lides118]

😂😂😂😂😂 that was awesome!

[@michaela-be4le]

Man, you have patience :o

[@apolloravindran]

You should have tried to catch them when the lights were turned off at night? Fish are just so easy to catch, all you need is a flashlight and a net

[@ReneesZooTube]

I'd love to see a fry rack update and a guppies video, preferably stand alone videos as I'm not able to watch livestreams often enough.

[@SuperScorpiorising]

LOL I was the same trying to catch my Tiger Barbs in planted tank, everything had to be dismantled in the end. I even tried a plastic bottle trap! Never again haha

[@marciesocal7553]

Drain the tank down so they have less space to get over My bad, commenting before seeing entire video Man you have a tremendous amount of patience Love your videos

[@codyson83]

Yes update on fry rack please.

[@e.g.no25andrew62]

LRB NUMBA 1!!

[@lizl2715]

Would love an update on the grow out tanks

[@nursebeckus1643]

Catching fast fishies is the bane of my existence ... least favorite thing to do. Lucky for me I have an amazingly patient 20 year old daughter who gets the job 8 out of 10 times. I used to just say it was the fishes fault not me but then She goes and catches them in no time ; separates them from the other schoolers in the tank w the net they’re in... it’s just embarrassing 😊 I’m so thankful for her help. thank you for sharing always love your vids ☺️🤪

[@nursebeckus1643]

hahahahaha I just heard you say I wanna cry a little on the inside omg yesssssssss I feel your pain so much. Ps we have some p. Gayi from you! It’s so pretty too

[@LRBaquatics]

Lol

[@TuanDanBien]

nice borther video support

[@RLCAquatics]

Lol got to be quicker than that!

[@tompatterson5453]

I was waiting to hear the spongebob narrator..3 hours later...I'd have saved that job for Hayley.😏

[@LRBaquatics]

Lol she refused :P

[@juergensbr4612]

Pro Tip : Drain the tank and offer a ceasefire. 🐌 😜

[@LRBaquatics]

Lol Im guessing you didnt watch the whole thing

[@taRmYg]

Use green or black nets, they confuse it with a place to take cover and swim right into the net. They run away from white and blue nets.

[@shesellsfish]

Ok...now I don't feel so bad. If the Green Water Wizard had this much trouble and had to tear apart and drain down a tank to catch these slick fish...I don't feel so clumsy for tearing apart a tank and uttering cuss words I didn't even know I knew while trying to catch young, healthy and fast danios. 👍💕👍

[@flipflopsneeded]

Use your water pump to get them out or drain the water by 50 to 65% for less volume to swim.

[@twistyrides5859]

On fast fish and plants ...I do it at night with a flashlight .Less wear and tear on plants and usually fewer bad words .

[@LRBaquatics]

Yeah I tried to catch them asleep and thats how I got the first 3 but then they started learning.

[@toddratson7526]

3:05 "Once they get into open water then I have a better chance" as they disappear back into the plants. ROFL!

[@LRBaquatics]

Lol

[@josephkrug8579]

Do dark colored nets vs bright white work easier?

[@jescowan26]

Sounds silly but have you ever tried a homemade bottle trap with food , I’ve used one for yabbies before basically cut the top of a bottle to make a funnel and tape it upside down in the rest of the bottle drill a couple holes halfway down and attach a string... I understand the pain of destroying a tank to get out the fish

[@lyrieth8833]

Catching kuhli loaches is freaking terrible worst one I ever had to net for small dudes!

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

The famous Exodon aggressiveness got old already?

[@James_Hande]

Doesn't that stink when fish out smart ya? Been there, done that, got the T-shirt! What do I want to see? You trying to catch more fish. LMAO... 🤣

[@geodesicmonkey]

LRB :1, Fish :0 Fry rack for sure.

[@mariemccoy7775]

I thought my female guppies where hard to net...lol

[@greaseballinthesouth]

Not looking forward to upgrading my pictus cats to a bigger tank , gonna be in the same situation

[@LRBaquatics]

May all the good luck be on your side

[@ricodegallo3060]

👍

[@maritfishgirl7357]

Fry rack please

[@dawnmcfarland7011]

Damnit I'm trying to do this right now and had to take a break because I'm shaking I'm so mad and frustrated lol. F***ing danios.

[@LRBaquatics]

Sorry to hear that lol I feel your fustration.

[@zimrianispresent8123]

🤘🐌🤘

[@t1dirty]

Fry tank

[@Rick-df2my]

I doubt if you ever attempt to take a video of you catching fish again!!! lol

[@elissajackson5140]

Watching this right before I have a fast fish to move. Not going to be fun.

[@CalebsAquatics]

Bigger net lol

[@HustleHabit]

LMAO!
