When is Amanda going to join you again on a livestream?

[@American-Jello]

I'm looking for the alternanthera reineckii pink you showed in this video on your website, but it isn't there 😢. Any idea when you'll have that for sale, because I'm really eager to grab some of this up!

[@LupDiesel]

@@American-Jello just added it today. It should be in stock by tomorrow afternoon. Thanks so much for you're interest :)

[@American-Jello]

[@caroleinwv]

Thank you! So glad to see you propagating your plants!

[@American-Jello]

I'm so nervous about getting into shrimps, but whenever I see a video about them, I get the itch to try keeping them. Damnit, Flip Aquatics! I had put shrimp out of my mind, and now you post this awesome video!

[@LupDiesel]

Hahaha woohoo!! I'll take it :)

[@rootsnwhiskers8351]

Congratulations on 100k 😊

[@SimplyBetta]

Do your plant racks have co2?

[@LupDiesel]

Yes, they do.

[@LupDiesel]

We use it to help them convert

[@PULAG]

I like to save money and just breathe on them. Cough, spit sneeze blow hot air on the plants, they absolutely adore it.

[@sunsetjen2398]

Thanks for the tour 😘 Love the plant section too, so great to offer converted plants 🪴🦐 😍

[@THESESTORIESARETRUE]

Looks great

[@christopherseilaff8665]

I am looking at your channel, because I am planning on placing an order tmrrw. I am going in with a friend who is also looking at a few fish. Thanks so much. Wyoming(state) here and love you sell fish in eachs. Have to drive 2 hrs each way to pet store.

[@codycumberland6532]

I can't wait for the gallery to be ready

[@stefan00123]

Very nice video 🙏 love from the netherlands ✌✌

[@JK-zz3mv]

The “gnats” that you have in your tote are imago Chironomidae aka adult bloodworms.

[@blaznmax8877]

And you gta update those water main Valves to full port ball Valves... plus their 1/4 turn so if emergent fast shut off

[@MrMsm333]

@Flip Aquatics I have a couple of questions. A few years back, you made video(s) about putting active substrate in containers in Caridina tanks, so that you can replace one container every year to make sure PH is buffered appropriately. 1. Did it work well for you? any downside to it? 2. I don't see those containers in your recent videos anymore in your tanks. How are you replacing substrate now? Thanks for making informational videos on shrimp keeping for fellow hobbyists.

[@lifluvtango]

Looking at those fly strips, your problem critters look like midges aka chironomids (which are the family bloodworms come from). So semi-aquatic insects and if you added just about any fish to that your problems should disappear pretty quickly

[@brianmarshall1762]

Was going to say something along that line. Those midges are probably laying their eggs in the tank and if they’re non biting midges, they probably Chironomids. I have them appear in my daphnia tubs in the late winter/ early spring through summer. Great if you have fish in the tanks..

[@robertfaber6796]

Add bottom feeders, like cories. They should clean up the midge larvae fairly easily. The larvae collect and surround themselves with mulm and plant debris at the bottom of the tub. The pupae rise to the surface to change over to the adult breeding stage. Or swirl a fine meshed net around the bottom and rinse out the debris and feed the larvae to your guppies.

[@fishyyhmongkeybiznis4800]

@5:42 looks like midge flys

[@hutchklutch2594]

You might have already figured this out because I see this videos is year-old, but if you have any mosquito issues, then you need to try this product. Microbe lift BMC. It’s a biological mosquito control that will not harm plants. It actually kills the mosquito larvae. It’s a good bacteria that does this. Great product I’ve used in all my plant only tanks and in hydroponics growing

[@blaznmax8877]

Iam getting pumped on your selling strategy like attention to customers happiness

[@Shaden0040]

You need some watersprite for fry protection.

[@reyhanrevel8728]

Why did you remove the soil from the 125 gallon shrimp tank?

[@Ilostmyschmungus]

The shrimp that were in there before were caradina shrimp that needed the buffering substrate. Now it's all neocaradina which dont like the buffer substrate

[@cincityserpents]

Love the video, just placed an order this week and super excited to get some stuff. Oh and ugh I know how you feel with the knat things I have them in my fish room. They don't survive in the table with fish but they get sucked up into the ac don't bought a bug zapper to see if it'll work 😂

[@henndawg]

Those are fungus gnats! Use "mosquito bits" it's an organic way to kill their larvae (safe for plants and fish!) And the sticky traps works great for the adults. If you really want to get ALL the adults buy a "Katchy" electric trap (on Amazon $40) and run it in the room at night. It will catch every last adult gnat in the room

[@henndawg]

Mosquito bits are safe for shrimp as well!

[@gabdewulf]

With them gnats, did you try top feeding big eaters? Diano and/or flag fish should jack them up.

[@gonny417]

Do you sell the plants on line

[@justbaquatics2512]

Looks epic 👌

[@jenniferblanchard8972]

Have you looked into misqeuto bites for bug control in the pond tank with gnats?

[@lindaclontz3634]

Very nice 👌

[@VaLissha2356]

Have you tried the "Mosquito Bits" granuals in that one tank? It will kill all the Larva for nats and mosquitos. It is safe for regular house plants so I would think it'd be ok for the aquatic plants also. Look it up it's great!

[@teknoallah]

wonder if gnatrol or mosquito bits/dunks would take out the gnats

[@debraricci6227]

I really loved your video...do you have any explaining set up? You said that prime removes oxygen...what does that mean...would 15 gal tank wall set up work? Could you explain your mat filter sponge wall? Are you running canisters? I simply love your setup. You said dwarf Lilly and Taiwan Lilly are easy...any other plant suggestions...thank you you much...I wish I could subscribe and pay a membership. I work at a small pet store and am doing their fish n plant...I am new and love it. Thank you for all the stuff I learned today.

[@dirtyoldfarmhand3]

Wonderful.

[@hillbillymoose2486]

I just order my stuff to start my new tank just some plants and snails stuff like that got the flex tank im truck driver gone alot I figured shrimp tank would be perfect for me

[@timmafee0]

Love your channel. Isnthere anywhere u can buy flip aquatics shirts? Cant find any on ur site

[@VyvienneEaux]

If you take the barren stems of transitioned hygrophila and plant them horizontally in the substrate, in a couple weeks, you’ll get a new plant at each node.

[@American-Jello]

No kidding? Awesome tip! I'm going to try that!

[@Aquadiction]

That's a really great tip, I was thinking of trying this but now def will have to give it a try, thanks!!

[@michaeltooke9164]

"Mark" seems to be doing a good job. You mention him so much - you should have him on camera for a portion of this (posted at the 30-minute point.

[@JeffreyGVny]

Ugh! I’ve been trying to get rid of duckweed for months. When I do my weekly cleaning, I get rid of most of them, but even a few strays will multiply incredibly. I have red roots and the fill up all the water surface space between them and cut out all the light to my plants below. Hopefully, some more skimming and pouring the water through a net to catch the duckweed will eventually do it. So time consuming. Any suggestions?

[@Yakomoe]

"Foo the flowerhorn" makes a barrier

[@antsfrance9999]

Well you finnaly reached 100k

[@shafeeqeshafeeqe9334]

India shrimp courier?

[@Shaden0040]

That doesn't look like hair algae on the anubius, but rahter BBA (black beard algae) Amano shrimp eat it.

[@FreightTrain22]

The “Dark Red Ludwigia” you have looks more like a ludwigia ovalis. Super red is actually called ludwigia palustris and is mostly red with red stems, hence the name.

[@terrafate]

those gnat are actually midges. midge larvae is fully aquatic. add fish and your problem will go away.

[@blaznmax8877]

Do u really net the past guys rip 🙏 or let the home boies eat

[@ЗнакКачество]

Все у вас красиво и все у вас есть на разводе.

[@lukeporter6258]

Shrimpin ain’t easy!

[@philliphols]

Couldn’t you use fish to handle the bugs in the water????

[@rugged04270]

Just borrow a large goldfish from someone for a week to get rid of the duckweed

[@ActuallyWoogie]

Can you just put clown kilis in the pond with the knats)

[@ryan2manyfishburgh595]

The “nats” breed in the water. Pencil fish and the little rasbora will eat the larvae and the eggs. Good luck.

[@ryan2manyfishburgh595]

A fan can also help - they aren’t strong fliers.

[@VyvienneEaux]

12:47 is that a Justin Bieber cover?

[@matthewborum9639]

Golden killifish would take care of those bugs.

[@Shaden0040]

ADd goldfish to remove duckweed.

[@VyvienneEaux]

Very tasty!

[@overlandtowater]

your bugs or knats are actually the flies that come from red worms, they are called a midge...

[@Shaden0040]

Susswassertand sweetwater weed, pronounced sussvasertang. The gnats sound like fungus gnats.

[@Thought_it_up]

100k suhweeet

[@Shaden0040]

Oh don't plant watersprite its a floater plant and will do best when floating and wil naturally grow daughter plants at each fork of the fronds. It will even grow emergent fronds of thin leaves.

[@ЗнакКачество]

Если бы можно было у вас купить и отправить в Россию.

[@BuckWezr]

Flat Rate? Dude, move to Regional Rate if you haven't already. Had a business that shipped a *lot* of online orders and RR is seriously cheaper for costumers within 500~1,000 miles.

[@American-Jello]

Problem is, with regional rate shipping you need a system that accurately calculates the shipping based on distance, and then it seriously screws people who are farther away. Flat rate is by far the simplest and most balanced way to ship to the most customers in the most places, and then distance is irrelevant. The savings of regional are nominal at best, and aren't in the best interest of the business, at least in my experience running a web based retail outlet for the last 7 years.

[@blaznmax8877]

Only rilis I like are carbon

[@OnyxMafea]

Yo I'm not sure what your guys deal is. I ordered items that are defiently listed in stock it has been 3 days that it has been just being "prepped" I have not received another email notifying my order has been sent out. You sure as hell have no problem taking my money. Pretty pathetic.

[@PULAG]

Ducki 4 DayZ

[@PULAG]

Yeah, but it's infested with WildTail Nightstalker Gnats. Ah, dang..
