Justin when will you have another collab with Nick

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Hi there Victor! Thank you for your comment my friend. I won't be doing any more collaborations with Nick. I am going to be growing this community and make sure that we can all benefit off the information in the content:)

[@herbeenc8042]

That's it? People make it so complicated to hatch bbs in other videos that I never felt confident enough to do it myself but, watching your video I'm definitely doing it now!!. Thank you.

[@JustinsFishRoom]

That’s awesome to hear!! I am glad you are giving it a go. It is really that simple😊

[@wendyfraser9329]

Great video mate.

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thank you Wendy! I really appreciate it:)

Hey Justin, about algae wafers, I have not used them personally but have heard very good reviews about Hikari algae wafers. I have seen multiple KZbinrs using them as well. They come in different sizes and based on their webpage, they are specially designed for herbivorous fish, these wafers contain high amounts of spirulina and chlorella algae and they are specially formulated so they do not cloud the water in your tank. Think you should give them a try and maybe do a test on algae wafers for us to see which is best. Saludos y bendiciones from Guadalajara.

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thank you for the suggestion. This seems to be what I am being advised generally so I must look into it. This definitely could make a good video so I will definitely consider it for a future video.

[@stevesutton2981]

Great work mate. Definitely show more of the discus and the l201.

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thanks, will do Steve!

[@Mukipool]

U got alog going on my friend

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Hahaha yes that is very true:)

[@masteraquaticsjustcallmeed5115]

Justin, definitely add Discuss content, that would be awesome!!! Your Mom's Discuss are just stunning!!! I really LOVED the comment about how fish fry aren't growing as quickly when they are over stocked in a tank. I was wondering why my fry were taking so long to grow in one tank and in the other they were 5 times the size! DUH!!! Cleared that up real quick!!! Bigger tanks does help!!! Another thing I noticed was that the fry I left in with their parents also grow faster!!! I'm guessing that survival mode kicks in as well!!! I agree with your technical process for BBS, fresh live food is 10000000% better for the Rams. They just like eating moving food! Lol!!! They are cichlids after all...Little carnivorous bastards!!! To help you with the Duckweed... I literally take it and dry it out and make "patty wafers" and feed them to my Corys and plecos. THEY LOVE IT!!! And it doesn't cloud up my water. My Koi's and Goldfish also devour them as well. As always LOVE your content and I am always glad to see you deliver it with vital significance! You have a dignified teaching approach and I really enjoy how you are self taught!!! Which allows new and not so new hobbyist to take a chance and try new things!!!

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Wow! I must say your comments make, not only my day, but my whole week!!! This does really mean a lot and I am so happy keepers and breeders like you are a part of this JFR family! Thank you for always being so positive, supportive and just so darn kind:) I will have to look into that duck weed solution - sounds like an awesome way to kill two birds with one stone in my pleco tank:) Thank you and I really hope you have an excellent week:)

[@janellechew6193]

@@JustinsFishRoom Just wanna let you know how much your videos have helped me. I have some serious issues trying to find some beautiful German blue rams in my area in the United States. One of these days I would love to keep discus.

[@darrylmoore5847]

That was really nice. I would love more videos about the discus.

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Awesome! I think I will definitely do some more on them. Do you have any suggestions for any particular aspects to discus keeping that you want me to go through? I am taking a few suggestions for the near future:)

[@emilylewis9389]

When the fish are sleeping you should call them fishhhhh

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Hahaha that pun should not be legal!!! I guess I will have to call them that now:) Thanks Em - your puns are very funny.

[@pelhamsaquatics]

Hello Jason, the algae wafers I use are the hikari brand, they seem quite decent. Also I have found for the plecos once or twice per week I will give them a slice of zucchini or cucumber on a stainless steal fork to weigh it down, I leave it in for 24hrs it does not seem to cloud the water. Also repashy gel food is magic for them, I use the soilent green flavor with a tad of spirulina powder added in. Sorry I ramble so much🙂 the nighttime routine is great! Can you believe I have not ever used bbs yet? After this demo from you that will change! Thank you mate🙂👍🏻

[@JustinsFishRoom]

I can't believe you've never used BBS!!! I am glad you will try it and see how you go - let me know if I can help further with the process initially. Thank you so much for the tips too. I will definitely try this and see if it improves the milkiness in the water. Have a great week my friend:)

[@janellechew6193]

You the best 😉. I enjoy all your videos. They have been so helpful!!

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Thank you so much for the kind comment, Janelle! Glad you have found them helpful🙂

[@miguelsfishtanks1070]

Lol they work I have some guppy babies 3 or 4 days ago I got 38 fry

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Woohoo!! Very nice result my friend:)

[@Ryan74777]

Hey Justin, try hikari algae wafers if they are available near you!

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Awesome!!! Thank you for the suggestion and I will definitely see if I can get them online if not locally:)

[@reefshrkgaming7691]

About how old is beluga and your other celestial rams? They’re very big and my males are still on the thin side

[@JustinsFishRoom]

They are about 6 months old now. They are huge fish for sure due to good breeding and good conditions. Skinny rams are unfortunately very commonly found in the majority of the stock out there. Try find a good local breeder who spares no expense with their fish and setups and you will definitely get a good pair.

[@123genki]

It's nice to see you hatching them straight up in a Jug. I have some empty Moccona jars laying around and might try with those

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Go for it my friend!!! Whatever holds water will be fine🙂👍

[@austinforbes2859]

I would love to see some discus videos :)

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Awesome! Let me know if there is anything in particular you would like me to cover in the future discus videos:)

[@miguelsfishtanks1070]

How do you harvest the bbs because I want to set one up

[@JustinsFishRoom]

I might have to include this into a video in the future as I just use a large pipette and keep topping up the water to maximize hatch rate.

[@DasEmpress]

Thanks for showing how easy it is to hatch BBS, Justin! Others make it seem so complicated! I have a new 55gal rimless coming, so I'll definitely try it when I'm set up and have some fry (of unknown type as of yet!)!! 😉

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Oooh sounds like some very exciting times a head for you, my friend:) Definitely keep it simple and everything else falls into place!

[@clownfish2506]

[@willojames9955]

Hi justin sorry I know it's off the subject but my male Kribensis keeps killing the female once they have fry,I was told to remove him,please can you advise, thanks from SA

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Hi there, my friend. Sorry to hear this. Unfortunately this is such a common occurrence with Kribs. I would try get another male as I have had males that are really aggressive and others that are very calm and peaceful. So you just need to find a calm one🙂👍

[@willojames9955]

Thanks very much will keep trying

[@gavogr]

Question about the bbs feeding, Is the. Stuff in the Baster in salt water still? You not worried about the salt water mixing with the fry in the tank? Good tip on the mixing I will give that a go now as I’m just about to make a new batch

[@JustinsFishRoom]

Hi there Gavin! I have done both and there is no difference as the regular water changes get rid of the salt very quickly. I do also strain the liquid sometimes but I find I loose a lot of BBS doing this method:) Looking forward to your parcel arriving!!

[@gavogr]

@@JustinsFishRoom cheers for the response

Awesome video Justin!! Loved seeing all the ram fry eating away! They are so so adorable and your Plecs are just stunning. With regards to algae wafers , I use fish science oak and algae wafers and also international Tropicals own brand wafers and they are just perfect.
