Here is the update: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qajFh3Rtfbxgb9U

[@imomnl]

what kind of moss is this, so beautiful

[@ou1812]

The king of DIY where did you buy your net I would really like to know so I can get one for my lage fish in my 100 gallon fishtank thanks

[@gideonisaacgeverola9237]

The king of DIY:hey dude did your arowana really died pls reply

[@DiamondsRescue]

Gideon Isaac Geverola Yeah, but don't remind him. RIP Buddy.

I'll be going LIVE with the tank on Facebook or Instagram tonight or tomorrow! instagram.com/uarujoey/ facebook.com/UaruJoey

[@brui5e05]

The king of DIY I'm at a loss for words!!! That tank is absolutely stunning!

[@theholybuttfungus5911]

The king of DIY the tank look amazing I'm stunned!

[@jonathanchristian9776]

i think the red reminds them of sunset.. as the sun goes down predators come out so they school for survival.. just a guess

[@shaikmubasheer8222]

The king of DIY YOU MADE MY DAY😘

[@R8V10]

So did they all make it?

[@TheAwesomeEvilNerd]

Fish can't see red light, so to them the tank went dark really quickly, just like if a predator caused a shadow above them. They group up because there's safety in numbers :)

[@connorb2004]

Jessica Cooper Thanks for the info!

[@dastreetspart3370]

how would they know where the group is if they can't see?

[@wooshbait36]

@@dastreetspart3370 By smell, every fish uses a different deodorant.

[@emeryz10]

Yea I don’t think it works like that.

[@Sadeyr]

I love hearing and seeing how happy you are when you set up stuff like this, it really shows how much you enjoy the fish and how much you care about them, especially all the time you put into making sure they will have a good place to live. The setup looks awesome, I can't wait to see it in full bloom once the moss has grown out and the fish are showing their colors, it'll be amazing.

[@pd1jdw630]

Love it. I always feel sorry for an aquarium with a few big fish in it. I love the liveliness of a big aquarium with a lot of smaller fish. This is just a living painting. I can watch to this all day long.

[@awesomotribe1888]

Explanation for the schooling behaviour: Fish can't see red light (since it is usually filtered out by the water (this is also the reason the sea is blue)), so when you only have red light, they can't see anything and think it's night time and school for safety.

[@NeverSeb]

By red light they hide. Because in nature the sunset means, that night is comming. And with the night the predetors are comming too.

[@johnstrom8023]

nah they are bull , they prepare to ram the Toreador

[@StarWonder]

For wild fish at least, probably the same for your babies, the red light making them all go to one side, it's a schooling and protection reaction. Red = night, and that's usually when predators come out. So they go into a tight ball for protection. During the day, there are fewer predators hunting them, they can see very clearly, and so on. In and around the wood they cannot school safely, it's easier for an individual to be picked off. This also can be a hunting technique as well, where they get together in a tighter formation. When a school of fish is also in a tight ball, they look MUCH bigger to predators, and can ward off the potential predator by becoming a mass that is too big to attempt to nibble. Any one of these behaviours, or even all, could be what your Rainbows are doing.

[@marysoldeeley2218]

To react like that, they must school at night to sleep. Most critters don't see red. They just think it's night :) That looks fantastic! Great work!

[@jaye6079]

The scaping and fish choice is spot on. Cant wait to see them fully coloured. Work of art.

[@nathanmallory9159]

The red light simulates night as most non complex eyes don’t have enough photoreceptors to see red because it’s to low on the electromagnetic spectrum

[@l3dukas869]

You must be fun at parties

[@nathanmallory9159]

DJ AIRIS ya I’d say so

[@markhagan6675]

Thank you! I had to scroll way too far to find the right answer. One guy said the fish think there’s blood in the water lol 😂

[@katcetera]

You really need to film a timelapse of this tank for an hour or so. Or just loop it. Would be so relaxing on my TV

[@alexmoody9259]

Lots of fish can't see red spectrum, hence responding in a similar way to no lights on. Best way to check for unwanted critters in a reef tank is to phase a red period into the night time cycle. Looks awesome dude

[@alexmoody9259]

Maybe something to do with the shorter wave length of the spectrum towards the red end. It's likely that red also can't penetrate very deeply in to water.

[@Rytoast99]

For those wondering about the red light thing. Most fish cannot see red light so to them it would be the same as it being completely dark which causes them to think it is night where they school up for safety

[@moncheval3816]

I'd agree. Same with reptiles. Hence why the nighttime heating lamps have red bulbs (or ceramic bulbs that give off no light).

[@crystalrizzo915]

Idk, all my cichlids chase my laser light like kittens. Turtles too.

[@stevehettman3959]

Crystal Rizzo infrared is different than a laser pointer

[@abbisnews1]

Thank you for the info! Very interesting!

[@crystalrizzo915]

He just said red light. 🤷 idk the difference.

[@lizzyanthus1]

The tank looks amazing! The fish swimming all throughout it looks wonderful! Loved the 'red light' thing, all gathered to the one side. I wonder too, why that is. Weird, but wonderful! Thanks for this and all your videos, they are so enjoyable to watch.

[@kathrynevans2346]

I so super happy you went for rainbowfish. They are one of my favourites. I've only been able to keep dwarf varieties like neon dwarf and celebes so far. I can't wait to see how your tank progresses. I hope one day to be able to have a smaller version of this. Waw 😍

[@stevefrench198]

I love your passion about fish 🐠 👌🏻

[@richardstevens3625]

Firstly this is my very first comment in any KZbin video, so thank you. That tank is truly one of kind and awsome, words fail me as to how good it is. For me the best view is from the end of the tank. It gives a real depth to the whole experience. Thank you.

[@aholt3953]

I don't know much about rainbow fish or their personalities but if they would work, a large amount of cherry shrimp would look absolutely amazing in the tank with the sand and wood, and would accent the fish well

[@dirtysouthoffroad6402]

You should leave a 24 hr live stream on the tank. Or on one of your aquariums. I'd love to be able to look in on them anytime and dream that my tank would be that amazing

[@tysonsfishingandcamping5495]

the reason they school in the red light is because it imitates night time. Most fish cannot see red light so its a way many people get to watch their fish act as if it were night.

[@SuperTadpole75]

If they are anything like certain insects like ants. They cannot see red light. So it would be pitch black to the fish. Maybe since they think its night its a defensive mechanism to stay safe and together since its dark to them.

[@PropKnucklesFPV]

Soup Badger colors and intensities of light are two different things.

[@SuperTadpole75]

For ants if you place clear plastic over them so the light that shines through turns red. They still believe its dark and continue to work as if its dark. Take it away and they disperse to darker areas (When dealing with a colony). A good test would be see how they react with little to no light as well I suppose. Could be similar.

[@alexyochum5648]

Beau Garrison yes but they wouldnt be able to see the red light and it is the only light available to them

[@derekschwendemann2468]

Red is the light of morning and evenings. They school to darkness to protect from predators which are harder to see in the red light

[@kevinbrislawn5918]

simplicity is a sensual. visual relaxing way to design a large tank with hundreds of fish of the same species..it carries a reflection of meditation.

[@mastanickel]

Love it! This tank looks great. You are so inspiring!

[@reesem.1525]

So good to see Joey happy and exited again this tank is going to be epic! :)

[@jacpaq4875]

Many species of fish in both fresh and salt water have eyes which are incapable of seeing the red spectrum of light. So when joey changed the light to only shine with the red spectrum, the fish no longer saw any light and likely thought it was now night time. I assume that they naturally School together at night in the wild so when the fish stopped seeing light they simply did what they would naturally do. You could test this by turning the light off all together and you will likely see the same reaction as with only the red spectrum. Very nice tank though joey, I'm excited to watch those babies color up.

[@UberAlphaSirus]

That makes common sense to me but the scientific mind makes ponder. If the males of this species show off to the girls with red. Does that mean the girls want a dark room to get together to talk about stuff and don't actually notice the male, in this case the male has now become invisible and created his own black hole to do his bidding, Or does the red skin/scales flourese another spectrum to make the girls notice?

[@4sak3nmage1]

I think they might be reacting like that because of mating behavior. They see a very bright red, it and are attracted to the each other naturally, also most fish mate in the early morning where the lighting is softer, red is a much softer frequency light than white/green/blue.

[@Design]

Definitely should turn off the lights in the tank for the first few hours or so after introducing the fish to the new habitat. Reduces stress.

[@mattheweason532]

Love the tank. Rainbows are one of my alltime favorites. As for your red light question.. I have seen many different reasons in the comments from stress to cant see red( they can and very well).. its an anti-predation mechanism. Throughout the Rainbows native range most predatory fish are crepuscular and are most actively hunting at dusk and dawn when the visable light spectrum ranges between 460-700nm due to scattering of VIB light during these times. Yes thee ol' safety in numbers is at play.

[@anwarhussain4579]

Corydoras panda will be excellent addition for the bottom

[@nailroth380]

The reason they did that when you only had the red light is because they can't see red lights like most animals so they go defensive as they are unable to see predators. You will see them do the same as all lights turns off.

[@About46Pandas]

Red light has the largest wave length compared to other colours, so perhaps the fish can't see the red light? If so, they would assume it's dark, making them instinctively huddle in groups for protection. Sounds reasonable, but I don't know for sure. Anybody know how far up the visible light spectrum fish can see?

[@ST_Vids]

you can tell he loves fish, seems a good owner! so happy to give them a nice home!

[@beginnergeckosnativefish5215]

I would absolutely love to see you construct a tank that consists only of native freshwater fish in the US only. Sunfish, bass, darters, perch, hell even a muskie or pike idc as long as its native to the United States i would absolutely 100% be thrilled to see that!!!

[@gabrielchirila5465]

4:30 lol lol its like PUBG when you drop with a lot of players from a plane lol

[@laurawilson6496]

It's really cool :D Still miss Buddy though he was cool!

[@josiecat8080]

Ahhh, I love your aquarium so much! I'm a beginner with a 29 gallon, I have 2 Dalmatian Mollies, 2 Neon Tetras, 4 balloon Mollies, 2 blue ram chichlids, 4 multi colored guppies and 2 golden snails .... and I am COMPLETELY in love with all of them, doing my best to make sure I give them a good life. A few pretty snails would compliment your tank a lot but I have hear stories of them multiplying and ruining filters before. I hope I dont end up with that problem having a somewhat smaller tank. Anyways, enjoy your little guys... I'll be subscribing for updates 😊❤✌

[@alfie2743]

I read up that the colour red associates with fishing as red gets them to school together it makes it easier to catch them, the fish think that clustering up will keep them safe as they are in a bigger number but evidently not. SUBBED

[@canuckgame]

The tank needs some corydoras. 100% it would look awesome with a huge group of them on the bottom.

[@taha3508]

I guess they have the same subconscious feeling for colors as we do. Probably the red water reminds them of a bloodbath when an attack has happened by a foe. So, of course, they look for safety. I do not understand why your aquarium lights come up with this feature since it seems pointless for the fish or even make them panic...

[@zayanbasheer5565]

I think the light feature is nice... especially for parties and stuff.

[@ivytaylor1494]

I had the same thought

[@kevinmcmahon3827]

They don’t think idiot

[@zandrello]

It's great to see a smile on your face, and see you excited again. Happy for you my friend! best wishes!!

[@GrammyTweety]

Good info on the bag water!

For my taste, way too many. Hundred would have been OK for me. - Marcus

[@mikebarnett3778]

Incredible display! Love the visual reaction to the light! That’s the whole idea behind the hobby is to watch, learn, and enjoy what we do. Thanks for sharing

[@theramdomchannel8329]

For what I know, fish can not see red light (thats what they use when they look for sharks in the dark) so they probably reagrupate when its dark to feel safe during the night

[@adamsamsonov6841]

You can tell, this guy really cares about his fish!

[@blackcreekrosebcr6249]

It's becuse in the light they can see pretitors but in the dark like night time they swarm togeather to have more of a chance to live becuse safety in numbers

[@rnlddbr]

These guys are BEAU-TI-FULLLL... love that smile! Awesome!

[@theincrediblemrlimpet701]

Most fish can't see red light very well so when it suddenly becomes "night time" they school up for safety

[@nytstalker1380]

Please get some rare cool Plecos! I love them. Like so he can see!

[@nancydixon2385]

Love all the fish, it really added a lot to the aquarium. Awesome how you change the color of lighting on the aquarium with your phone, never knew you could do that. I like the scenery you created also.

[@ethangiordano562]

Fish can't see red light so for them it just went pitch black and the school up for safety

[@kinsenhorng8]

so this is like ants canada but focused on fish instead. nice! subscribed i like fish too.

[@MultiTomtom23]

Kinsen Horng me too =)

[@kingfisherdecor5533]

They school together out of fear. Safety in numbers, when the red light is on, basically they are scared.

[@ryanray4399]

They all need names

[@jonlauyh1]

Get some shrimps to fill the bottom with some colours!

[@Belikeimpasta]

Nice Rainbows Joey! I have a question: when are your goldfish coming back? Remember you moved them to your friend's house to make room for the blood red Arowana!

[@JesusChrist-nh8wh]

lol that just kind way of saying , am abanding it. why bother about it:P

[@stevedog9409]

I’ve done a science fair project on fish’s reaction to color and they are most scared of red

[@stevedog9409]

I'd recommend trying out another monster fish besides an Arowana. I'd love to see another monster fish get the spotlight in this huge tank.

[@ExtraSteps]

I'm surprised you went with red rainbow fish on account of your color blindness. Do they still look super cool to you?

[@ceciliaortega3626]

First video I've watched of you and this video made me genuinely happy to see your reaction of the fish once in the tank I could feel how happy it made you I definitely subscribed :)

[@Umadcuzubadbrah]

fish cant see red, so they think its night, new enviroment, so safety in numbers mentality when they hurdle together? my 2 cents...

[@amymandeville8342]

I really like how this turned out!

[@MrCmayhew69]

I have read before that fish dont see red colors very well, they may have thought it was night time and schooled together because of that?

[@hannahliddiard9862]

I think they actually gather like that because red tinged water signifies and injured animal- blood in the water. Therefore they know predators are coming, and their natural instinct is to gather together for protection.

[@SKGrenkow]

I can't wait until they all grow up!!!

[@ThisIsMe360vr]

the fish are colorblind. they can't see red.. so you're seeing their night time behaviour. under red light.

[@aaronwatson9984]

You need some freshwater crabs in there!

[@ammarzainalabidin7287]

sorry if my English is bad. but I hope you still understand what I mean. one day I was given a suggestion from my friend to quarantine new fish in a sterile tank that was given methylene blue before being put into the main tank. Is this sugestion from my friend the right way? or any other way to make sure that new fishes is steril before get in to the main tank?

[@manavgajera4985]

They are probably sensitive to that red light's wavelength.

[@ericfuhrman9651]

I was wondering that too

[@stonewallpi1]

Beautiful tank! Can't wait to see them in full color! Could the dark red light mimic the night and they school together for safety?
