My backyard freshwater Lobster farm

[@Elrond_Hubbard1]

As a fellow fish guy, I absolutely loved that set-up. I would give anything to live in a climate where I could do similar. Well done my friend.

[@Elrond_Hubbard1]

@Idk__ You told me didn't you. I'll just go build an addition to my house, or pit up a greenhouse in my nonexistent yard. What a dickead.

[@nicholaswiedman1409]

It's amazing how small life can be. To these fish and lobsters, this is their entire world, right in your backyard.

[@JustAThought916]

and then on a plate

[@katweirdman9817]

Its funny you say that. I often think that Humans are too vein to realize that our whole existence has been fabricated to serve the select few that rule in the same way these lobster do. And yet we in america still exclaim "we are free" and who knows. We could be used to fuel other economies we dont even know exist

[@TheFaithtrix]

That was easily one of the coolest videos I have ever seen on KZbin. Thank you for sharing.

[@sebastianpokowski9648]

That is just sad.

[@civildissension]

dieselbiggins I wish there was a community of videos just for that kind of perspective. It's such a cool perspective. Those fish look like they've got an entire world in there.

[@xic1]

For some reason the soundtrack from the movie Jaws was playing in my head as the camera was moving through the water.

[@dertrix37]

Ommmm that makes sense . there was a scene in jaws that was entirely underwater like this.

Yes, I was watching Ricky Fowler hit a driver out of the rough.

[@ineedmyhat]

I have no idea how good this setup is but wow ! It looks bloody gorgeous underwater. I wonder if the wee fish and the lobster(s) appreciate it. Nice work man keep it up.

[@Pixiedust8399]

Wow! I have never seen so many guppies in all my life, I could spend all day looking at them.

[@lapitolkokamkokam3073]

I am using aquaponic method as close to the natural bio-filtration system.It is different than mechanical filtration system that regularly remove waste from the water supply to make the pond clean .This Bio-filtration systems will leave the waste in the water,but convert it to a less toxic nitrate that is safe for the lobsters.

[@Marioscorneraquatics]

do these reproduce fast?

[@dustintacohands1107]

+Mario Velasco 5 to 7 years to reach maturity usually around 5000 eggs said older ones can have 100,000

[@GameTieTV]

+lapitolkokam kokam whats your camera set up? gopro wifi setup?

[@jacko8100]

Actually it is the beneficial bacteria that produce the nitrates. As the waste decomposes it produces ammonia, which a set of bacteria turns into nitrites, and another set turns into nitrates. However nitrates are still harmful in large quantities, the reason why yours works is all those plants and the algae on the sides use the nitrates as a fertilizer. So you keep putting in food they will keep thriving.

[@AJSchultz]

(they appear to be "Crayfish" as I've known them... Are the "Freshwater Lobsters" different from what I see in streams and creeks, called Crayfish/Crawfish?) I often considered using them [or _now_ after the video, I'm leaning towards freshwater lobsters] in a sump tank below an aquarium, so they don't eat off my fish.

[@rsin1991]

I want a backyard pond like this

[@maxwellethoxian4085]

Rathamany Sin its rather easy depending on the weather conditions and the fish you put in

Still one of my fav videos of all time on KZbin. Can you please do an update?

[@celasegamay5371]

Moon walking there asses off

[@crzzymnn911]

I laughed way too hard at that.

[@slappy8941]

Cel Asegamay Their asses, dumbass.

[@robertmatthews2009]

just a tip. Be sure to monitor the acidity in your water. Those cinder blocks contain alkaline that overtime will leach into your water. When the alkaline builds up enough it will kill everything in your pond. I learned that the hard way. It would be better to use something other than concrete or cinder blocks. Natural rocks work great.

[@armandoesparza7235]

Great video, I especially like the chase scene near the end.

[@sub7se7en]

Calling bullshit. No big red barn. Definitely not a farm.

[@maxwellethoxian4085]

[@lca89]

This guy has a mini city of lobsters and fish in his backyard.... I've never been so jealous and amazed at the same time lol

[@carlyletom301]

Beautiful underwater video. If you only had a light on the camera for shots with the lobsters retreating. The large amount of guppies at different sizes, the moss on the cinder blocks/lobster dens, gives it a oceanic vibe. Was that a Go Pro you used?

[@lapitolkokamkokam3073]

yes it is go pro..love it so much

[@dkmorbidus]

Do they breed/multiply?

[@ruandekock6367]

dkmorbid otaku, I would also love to know whether or not they multiply

[@elementaleighteight]

dkmorbid otaku no... breeding lobsters in captivity requires you to make the lobsters believe they have migrated ..sometimes thousands of miles... whoever figures this out will be quite literally a billionaire. ...

[@PhilieBlunt666]

elementaleighteight so we just gotta figure out underwater treadmills with simulated moving scenery.. 🤔

[@L14MA]

nice set up. my uncles used to keep yabbies stacked in a fish tank in my grandparents backyard to keep them alive a little longer before eating. they were not happy about it. bogan life Maroubra. im glad your setup is so nice. enjoy the eating!

[@earthling1984]

Did you buy all those guppies or do they naturally breed easily in this environment? It seems like a great place to breed with the low/no water flow and lots of structure; however, also the crawfish/lobsters that are going to eat them. Just curious, do you buy in bulk or do they keep breeding themselves?

[@lapitolkokamkokam3073]

It was a few years ago I put a few of crayfishs ,guppies and gambusia together and they breed quite well..The mixture of plants ,fish and crayfish just nice and makes water so clear biologically.This is an impromptu video i made just for fun ...but now im quite shock with the numbers of viewers .LOL

[@travisrobinsonj]

@@lapitolkokamkokam3073 can you produce a lot them ( for eating) using this method or just a few?

[@3rdgenbestgen21]

Guppies breed very easily, they’ll literally breed in a stagnant puddle of water in your backyard

[@wierdsnake]

Those lobsters aren't going to catch any of those fish unless that fish is already dying.

[@earthling1984]

@@wierdsnake I guess you have never kept crawfish...

I can't help but make the submarine sonar ping-ping sound while watching. Great set up. I'm jealous.

Beautiful shoot, beautiful setup, but was going a little to fast for my liking of course I wanted it to last much longer such an intriguing thing to watch.

[@akedong]

My first reaction when the camera dive into the water was holding my breath. Brilliant!

[@combatgirl38]

Great set up! Great use of the cinder blocks. Unfortunately, I have about this many in a 10 gallon tank and I found this looking for DIY crayfish hides but apparently no one is dumb enough to their blue lobsters get out of hand like I have. They got along insanely well for a few years [multiplying and multiplying] until the original queen died and I was stupid and stirred up the muck in the bottom for some forgotten reason and now just about every mid to adult sized lobster is maimed in one way or another. I haven't ever vacuumed because I don't know how to avoid killing the babies. Because of this I also don't do water changes which proves that these guys can live just about anywhere that isn't outright toxic. The water is finally under control and clear and now I am looking for hide ideas. I was balancing subway tiles on rocks to create levels but one collapse too many told me that the next could end in injury and to stop risking it. 10 gallon tank-20-30+ visible crayfish and countless fry (sea monkeys). Because they don't share space after a certain age I have a lot of wasted space using traditional aquarium fish hides and would like to start over. How can I avoid pouring babies into my plants when recycling the water? Any suggestions on how to house this many while utilizing the space individually? Now that many are injured [the fighting stopped long ago] I am going to have an even harder time trying to give these homes-and I never asked a fee but got no takers. Not even from fish stores. So until I can rehome them I need help keeping them safe.

[@gregbrashear]

[@heckyes]

Rad! I love how lively it looks with all the various plants and algae growth in it. Do the lobsters ever fight each other?

[@xdragonxb0i]

yes they are cannibalistic and will eat each other.

[@ThatStevenLouis]

They can and they will, but I highly doubt it here. They have so much space and ✌🏾apartments ✌🏾 there probably aren't any problems outside the occasional male fighting for one particular female. This setup is as close to manmade perfection as I've ever seen as far as space/surface area/hideouts/food is concerned.......I'd bet they worry more about keeping the pH and temp right over them cannibalizing each other to oblivion 👌🏾

You see every one of them back up at the sight of the GoPro like "Noh. I've seen what happens when shit gets stuck in here. Uncle Lonny just disappeared 3 days ago when that shit came around." - I'd be way too inclined to convince my drunk friends to let the lobsters pinch them which I feel would disrupt their sanctity. As much as I like to see humans suffer - a Lobster farm may not be for me.
