Tips for Keeping Nocturnal Aquarium Fish

[@OregonOutdoorsChris]

I positively LOVE that you pointed out using a red light! Too many people these days think the blue lights on aquarium lights are for night, but those are just counter productive!

Off topic from the fish - I had to pause at 30 seconds in when you showed the fisher that lives in your backyard! I'm in the UK so seeing different wildlife, and a species I'd never seen or heard of before, surprised and delighted me! Just a Canadian species I didn't know, and I grew up watching nature documentaries constantly. How amazing to have these kind of animals so close to home. Especially when you have the equipment and skill to get stunning footage of them in the wild. Making me really want to set up some cameras in my own garden... If you have any suggestions for decent trail cam type outdoor cameras for someone on a tight budget, I'd be very grateful! Now I need to do some reading up on these beautiful animals I didn't know existed until now. First impression is that it looks like a chunky, well-fed and fluffy supersized mink! I will return to watch the rest of this video though, thank you! I was looking for some videos from Gary, didn't know you also did Fluval vids! I'm subbed to your channel too though, and love the passion for nature you always convey so naturally, along with the beautiful film and photography - delivered with an enchanting accent too. 🙂

Get used to waking up in the middle of the night to feed them, folks. In my case it is _Hara jerdoni_ or "Kitty Sharks" as my wife likes to call them. I used to keep numerous reptiles (as a former herpetologist/toxicologist) before I relinquished control of my collection due to the 'Law of Averages'. Towards the end I kept mostly hot (venomous) species. The majority of whom were nocturnal. For the record, the 'Law of Averages' states it is not a matter of _IF_ but rather _WHEN_ you get bitten. I was not willing to take that chance with venomous snakes. So I retired from Reptiles and revived my old aquascaping skills. Although to be perfectly honest, I am ready to retire from fishkeeping as well. I just have a hard time dismantling my tanks which are in *perfect* balance. At this point I am just waiting for the tank inhabitants to naturally die off. Nevertheless, I have not slept past 2am for over twenty five years. You start to normalize being miserable after the ten year mark or so. Stay classy my friends.

Have you considered rehoming the Hara jerdoni so you don't have to get up and feed at 2am? Maybe this would reinvigorate your interest in having the tanks if they didn't require such a sacrifice.

[@BertShackleford]

@@tropicaltanktv I already consolidated all my tanks down to one community display. The _Hara_ were originally in their own species specific tank. However, the time and frequency of feeding never changed. They instinctively know where to perch when they want to eat. Almost like I trained my fish! Constantly waking up at 2am was something that occurred _long_ before I kept any fish tanks or reptiles. It is both a blessing and curse. Nevertheless, I do appreciate your recommendation. Alas, all good things must come to an end. Stay classy my friend.

Comfortable fish are also healthier.
