Fish Feeding Frenzy, New Fish Room Walkthrough - Fish Room Update Ep. 100

[@AquariumCoop]

Any ideas on what fish would be good to have in a pond to passively breed? Need to be able to keep going while I travel.

[@chrisrosti6368]

Rosy barbs and white clouds.

[@FoxyFoxyShazam]

A non-aquarium strain of one of the goodieds! I know you’ve kept some of Gary Lange’s before, but it would be cool to see one of your big totes with a bunch of goodieds. If I had to choose, skiffia multipunctata or ameca splendins.

[@Brian-gx3rj]

Cherry barbs

[@stefanplivcevic92]

Betta or angelfish

[@jamesholbrook7785]

Sunset Variatus Platy

Cory and fish for thought

[@percmarket]

@@greenleaf3889 Yup, can’t forget about Chris

[@ONEFUNFONE]

One of the best? THE BEST. No one on KZbin compares to what he's done for our hobby, he is in a league of his own and you could add all the other fish related people together on youtube and youd get a fraction of Cory's abilities.

[@kristengottula9337]

This building is just so impressive. The concept is so unique, and the look is so polished, right down to the black outlets. Very pleasing to the eye. All on that beautiful property with the killer pond. Kinda makes me smile just knowing it exists 🤗

5:07 haha that instant fear when you think there is some duckweed in your tank

[@pattonspetsofficial9779]

Cory you are one of the best youtubers and the number one youtuber I would recommend to beginners because one of your philosophies are there are lots of things you can get away with things that you think “you couldn’t”

[@hobbithabits]

Its been crazy watching your fish room evolve from a garage behind your house to a HUGE expansive room full of giant totes!

[@lulu3verde]

Mollies are my favorite fish! They are just so adorable!

[@tobezoned504]

Love ladybird, makes me want a mbu puffer so bad. But alas, a 50 gallon tank is all I own

[@debrasanders1985]

So glad to see you actually enjoying yourself again.

[@leightoncarriere9655]

So glad you can finally keep Mollies Cory!

[@distaff2935]

Beautiful room! Those swarming orange fish are mollies? Fun fish. Love the color, too. They remind me of my rosy fathead minnows. Spoon is absolutely gorgeous.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Looking good Cory. Looking forward to the adventure!

[@cSquaredFactotum]

Ladybird is so goofy with that one tooth! Watching these videos is how I cope with only being able to have one 10 gallon tank.

[@chrisrosti6368]

I feel you i used to just have a 5 gallon for 3 years.

[@jawjagrrl]

Been out of the hobby for awhile but getting the itch again lately. The calcium buildup on the tank lid brought back memories of happy cichlids and bringing babies to the LFS :) I had perfect malawian water chemistry before I moved south, now sitting a neutral but still relatively hard well water. Will keep watching and looking for ideas for fish that would thrive in my new parameters :)

[@shesellsfish]

So good to see Cory wandering around relaxed and happy in the new fishroom/indoor farm. Old school...love it. 👍💓👍

[@jefftreat9537]

Alright bro, I finally got a couple days off work and I'm coming down to the store to set up my new axolotl enclosure and I'm bringing the fam!!!!! I am so excited I have a short list and I wanna browse the store! I'm hoping you're there but either way I'm just happy to support and be supported by professionals in the industry. Super stoked!

[@patrickgoudie2515]

9:57 beautiful shot of the fish room/ farm. Looks great.

[@mattkinsella9856]

My mollies are some of my friendliest and tamest fish. One of my females likes to swim in and out of my hand if I put my hand in the tank. She genuinely seems to like it, I just hold my hand still and she'll swim into and out of my hand over and over. Feeding time is obviously also a crazy frenzy with the mollies too. It's so hard not to overfeed them because they are always begging at the glass.

[@shadlyn3803]

I do the same thing! My guppies and Danios love to get "cuddles" and my gourami has started doing "drive by" swims to see what all the excitement is about.

[@imyourbabe0419]

My live-bearers go from cute peaceful fish to super crazy ones when they see food.

[@sugarbabie1681]

Looking forward to my order getting here Monday! Lady bird looks good! The crunch is cute!

[@lillianblythe8923]

Your videos are some of the most informative I've found on KZbin so far! I'm new to snail keeping and I just got my first Hercules Snail at my LFS and I can't find anything about them online. She had like 100 babies about a week after I got her and now I need to learn about them! Will you PLEASE make a video about Hercules Snails!!💚🐌

[@PaulsFishroom]

Water hyacinth would be an ideal plant for the totes - especially those with green water caused by your skylights. It would also reduce nitrites . I’ve seen many outside ponds in Asia were this plant is used to help with water quality.

[@aquaticma]

Looking great guys 👍 I have that high calcium water and every "whenever I remember" water change, I rinse the glass lids with white vinegar and it never builds up to the point where you'll have to scrape it off. Can't wait to see your fish farm in a year with new plant growth 👍👍👍👍

[@wobblysauce]

When I do the front glass clean I just give it a rub also and never had buildup. That is just water in the tank.

[@QU35TIONZcc]

Funny edit on the tv with the easy green jimmy 🤣🤣🤣

[@maltahighjacker9842]

These are some of my favorite videos just chillin in the fish room talking about different things as you go👍

[@k0olmini11]

This was a really cool video. I can really tell you’re enjoying yourself Cory, keep it up!

[@jimnw]

Great video. Keep showing the progress in your fish room.

[@nikhilkharkar1753]

Fish Farm is up and warming up!! Nice. Cant wait to mention your analogies. Again a great one on calcium!!!!!!!

[@derTaktgeber]

maybe put a small tag or sign on each plastic pond, put the temp on it, this way you can see really quick which one is best for each species if you get new fish

[@AquariumCoop]

Yeah, still dialing in the temps in the rooms, but after that, wouldn't be a bad idea.

[@taRmYg]

Epic new fish room man. Can't wait to see it progress in videos to come

[@90FirstGenPGT]

Love the new place! Poor Toof!

[@thomholio]

The cronch! Glad to see that Ladybird is comfy after moving.

[@aprilb5742]

All that natural light warming tanks? .. those beautiful skylights!

[@tjobrienRC]

Check your concrete temperature. With concrete floor that big you are at the mercy of the geothermal temperatures. In floor heating would have been more effective for even heating of the room.

[@DolbecAqua]

Love the farm! It keeps on getting nicer and nicer :D

[@MridulSinghMusic]

lol "Is that a piece of duckweed"

[@susanstaples6171]

Ladybird is so sweet

[@Rueler18]

If those are exterior walls, the temp could be affected slightly by the sun. East/North sides will run a bit cooler than South/West

[@keikol.7110]

Lol at the possible sighting of duck weed 😂

[@Guy23HD]

You could tint those skylights a bit to help cut back on algae and tank heat. Unless you just want the extra light. It looks awesome btw. Keep the updates coming.

[@TuanCaCanh]

Great video

[@andrewwhite6998]

Cory, you could have already thought of this, but I didn't hear it as a possibility in the video, but it looks like the temperatures drop off in a line from how far away the water change water has to travel. Idk just a thought.

[@Timzyzz]

What a great setup, the dream!

[@williamaaronhicks2198]

Re: totes/bins water temp vs room air temp. I suspect the hard floor beneath the totes (concrete with epoxy it looks like?) may possibly be acting as a giant heat sink, pulling the colder ground temps below the slab up and into the concrete itself, and subsequently into the water column. The constant of that floor temp conducting directly through the plastic and into a sizable volume of water in each tote, with the totes all touching one another (at least in their respective sections), and its resulting combined total thermal mass would mean the room air temp wouldn’t have much impact on changing the actual water temp. At all. Like ever. 😬 If you were to aim an infrared thermometer at various spots on floor near the totes, it will likely confirm one way or another if the reading is within a couple of degrees of the average water temp in the totes. If that’s the case, the way to heat the room and the totes wouldn’t be by forced air air, but instead by way of radiant floor heat installed directly into the slab - unfortunately probably not cost effective in an existing concrete slab. Though, perhaps, by lifting the totes off the floor by a couple of inches using a less conductive material such as hard rubber blocks, or 4x4 wood posts with a thin neoprene or foam insulating layer there would be enough air circulation beneath and around the water column that it makes an impact. The upside? Were the theory prove correct, if the slab maintains that constant temp year round (or near to it) and so too does the water, there may be no need to worry about cooling the room in the summer using forced air for the same reason - that same, high volume of ~70° water may result in a fairly constant water *and* air temp as well. Further, you wouldn’t have to worry as much about the tanks overheating should you lose power, as the cooler water temp would hold more oxygen for a longer period of time. All just a theory though. 👍

[@wobblysauce]

With the thermal mass, it will go up/down on external factors, but it is just about watching it, as once most people realize it is normally late into the issue.

[@Firestorm637]

Flooring conduction could explain some of the temp difference

[@1ryanlc]

I could've sworn the black goldfishes's shadows were more goldfish 😂

[@karenhieatt5581]

Looking so good - great to get an update

[@chrism4673]

The floor (concrete?) is absorbing the heat out of the ponds

[@DylanRenke]

You should try some lilies! They would work super well in those totes. The pygmy helvola is my absolute favorite.

[@Lazy_Fish_Keeper]

Spouse, watching video with me today. "Wait, they have to eat clams to wear their teeth down? Their teeth are always growing? So are they like the rodents of aquarium keeping?"

[@jakesharp7875]

also i had the same issues with the universal rocks backgrounds and took them out ordered aquadecor ones to fit my very large and odd tank dimensions and donated the others to pruess pets here in lansing michigan. and now they are in 4 public schools FFA breeding setups around the area. but i love the aqua decor pieces and people often think the river bank and rock work is real

Also, we moved about 4 yrs ago, after 20 years in a home we built. We downsized. So I feel ya, its not fun moving!

[@craigquinn8225]

hey Cory the temp change in your tanks is probably to do with were the sun is hitting your building also coming through the windows. especially with the totes being black. just a thought. could be wrong though 🤔🤷

[@liamgingell667]

The beard looks good man! It suits you!👌🏼👍🏼

[@nicks6837]

I’ve been looking forward to the new fish room being complete.

[@jakesharp7875]

hey cory the issue your having with aquarium temps all over the place. did you set your totes directly on to the concrete with only the rooms flooring as a thermal break between tank and the geothermal properties of the ground.? As well for a room that large if you want to be able to maintain a much more consistent temp across all the tanks and ponds look into installing one radiant tube heater from the ceiling. super efficent i heat a 120'x80' pole barn in michigan all winter at 68 for less then 1200 dollars of propane. and the best part is once the tube heaters get the concrete warmed up you will experience less heat loss thru the concrete and also 1 inch rigid construction foam under those totes would help also. If you read this and are interested in some info on the radiant tube heaters im talking about i got info and a place to order them. along with i could send you some data and pics of them in my application and temp gun readings of the concrete where they are used and the concrete in my other large barn that i dont heat with them. im telling ya they are worth you looking into and in my big barn i have a 2100 gallon tank i got from a seaworld that is totally planted and my best attempt at a amazon ecosystem.and those tube heaters in my shop are 18feet in the air at the ceiling height and they keep the concrete at 65-71 and all other objects in there 72-75 including the tank. and thats great and much easier to have my tank heater only need to swing all that water an additional 3-6 degrees for 4 months then ishut it off and try to simulate changing seasons to help with breeding aggression and the over whelming rate that my geophagus and other tank mates populations have gone from some to many.
