Full Tour of My Emersed Aquatic Plant Farm

[@Ayeshrin]

The garden has come a long way! Thanks for the emersed plant update, your videos have inspired me to start my own emersed grow out containers. I've only got one container, indoors and under grow lights to start. 17:32 allowing the wounded end to callus over (1-2 days or so) should reduce risk of the soil rotting the cut end.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you for your advice! Good luck with your emersed plants :)

[@Cow_Juice]

Great update vid. Your emersed plants have really taken off. 4:27 I like the idea of a mini rice fish pond. And I especially like the color of that huge bowl/container. I noticed how clear the water is too, thanks to the plants no doubt. :D

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks, rain is like an automatic water change :)

[@Cow_Juice]

@@RyoWatanabee Yea absolutely, that too. Free water changes and good plant filtration does wonder 😁

[@anoobis_]

The backyard is looking so fresh now. 🔥

[@AnimeAestheticYT]

Very excited to see what you do with the turtles! I hope they could go into a scaped tank, I know turtles typically destroy all plant life but it would be awesome to see!

[@pongsakornphongchankaw8963]

Hello, I'm a new follower from Thailand. I really like your video presentation. I will follow you forever.

[@mrajahaikal2253]

bsd stands for Bumi Serpong Damai, it Is a city in Indonesia where that plant was found. Thats why it names rotala bsd

[@space_ghost_z941]

Very cool! Definitely gonna try this soon with some different ludwigia cuttings!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Good luck!!

I have a male 3spot blue gourami🔵 and Female opaline gourami🔵 they're a Democrat couple 😊. We must let aquarium co-op know the festivum cichlid is a republican🚩 fish

[@JohnCrute-q4b]

​@@RyoWatanabee see they don' tknow gouramis are DEMOCRATFISH🔵 festivum cichlids are republican🚩 we must debate places like aquarium co-op and let him that if there wams a fight over territory the male 3spot blue gourami would win against the male festivum cichlid period

[@Nutamago]

hi ryo, you can try gutter hydrophonic systems and plant them in pots for neater look. keep water cycle and reservoir so you can miss watering them every other day.

[@mickeyswizzy]

Enjoying your vids Ryo! 😃

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you 🤩

[@nattfodd7728]

To graft the cacti you cut it with sharp garden shears but let the cacti dry for up to 6 months then replant it.

[@sangun123]

hey i was inspired by one of your earlier videos, i dont have any outdoor space because im in a small apartment but i use a little bin filled with fluval and water to grow my aquatic plants just so i can save money and plant them in my aquariums, shocked at how simple it is lol

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yes, it’s very simple and easy to grow aquatic plants emersed :) thanks!

[@austriaaquascaping]

I've been waiting for that😍😍

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@angelakrukowski4918]

Hi 👋🏻- I love your videos and learn so much , thank you 😊 I have a ? Do you have any filters in your goldfish pond or is it plants only ? I have 110 gallon stock pond with plants and a filter but thinking of removing filter and adding more plants 🪴 - would that be okay for 3 shubunkin

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks! Yes mine is 100 gallons no filter, just plants. Hope this helps :)

[@StephenIsaacson-fe2qm]

Hi! I was going to try to overwinter my rice fish. What is the lowest temp yours have survived? My container is 20 gallons

[@RyoWatanabee]

Lowest temp mine has gone is -6C°

[@khade3201]

Can u make video on using emerced plant in aquarium and its transition

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yes, I’ll do that next time!

[@Fantasticaquatics]

Brilliant video it’s completely clear from you content that you care for all your plants and livestock and I wouldn’t be concerned in acknowledging comments from know it all keyboard warriors ❤

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you so much ☺️

What happened with your Arowana ?

[@Eljanzxxx]

Dead

[@japanson4710]

Ryo san does ranchu goldfish live outside in the mini pond like yours without aeration

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yes, ranchu should be quite solid outdoors but I still prefer comets

[@japanson4710]

@@RyoWatanabeethank you 😊

[@eewing]

will it cause mosquitos to breed in japan, without fishes in water?

[@Klautau70]

Is there an Operculicarya decaryi in the background?

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yes, I have one decaryi and one pachypus

[@garygregory8025]

Thanks the update on your plants, do Comet Goldfish eat duckweed?

[@RyoWatanabee]

I haven’t tried giving them duckweed but I’m sure they’ll eat to some extent

[@dragonsimon1]

How's the transition when you put it back into fully submerged tank? Is there a huge die off?

[@RyoWatanabee]

Not much die off at all. The emersed leaves will fall off but not instantly

[@dragonsimon1]

@@RyoWatanabee That's awesome

[@kchortu]

What about building a sump and then running trickle/ overflow like a betta rack. that should give you some more time before the water runs out. BTI would keep down the mosquitos.

[@RyoWatanabee]

That’s a cool idea but seems like a lot of work and bettas would not survive our winter. I also don’t have any power outlets on this side of the house

[@kchortu]

@@RyoWatanabee I was saying only how it opperates like a betta rack. Not suggesting you start keeping bettas let alone outside in Japan. I used to build hydroponic gardens and well if its not on a timer and a reservoir, I'm going to forget to make sure it has water. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHrcooFmYth7rtU

[@florantesongco1778]

I am in Osaka right now with family. Any really nice aquarium stores in the Shinsaibashi area?

[@RyoWatanabee]

In Osaka, I only know of aquarium Tallman, aqua taylors, and ada lab umeda

[@florantesongco1778]

Thank you so much. I was able to go to the ADA Lab at Umeda.

[@hiroshiarado]

hello my friend do you were can i buy pkbm fish in japan???

[@hiroshiarado]

or guppy that is budget meal

[@-AndrewR]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Ramiro.A]

Have you ever tried hygrophila pinnatifida?

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yup, it grows well emersed but it’ll die when it gets cold

[@Lindonedhel]

Have you tried with emersed cryptocorynes? They are quite sturdy! :)

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yes, but I keep my crypts indoors as they won’t survive the winter months sadly

[@kchortu]

The bottom row would make moss grow quickly. Grow rare mosses there!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yeah, may give that a try!

[@missyflutter5562]

I’ve worked on plants my whole life and crossed over to aquatics. My advice if you don’t want crossover or to be confused by your rotis just move them so there’s other very different species in between 😉

[@nercsadv.3145]

hi ryo! i am also a fish keeper living in japan. i want to sell the fish that i breed. do i need a permit to sell? what do you call the permit?

[@RyoWatanabee]

You don’t need a permit. You should be able to sell on yahoo auction or at your lfs if they are interested

[@nercsadv.3145]

@@RyoWatanabee thank you.
