Please make a video showing how you make the siphon/fill equipment. Thank you.

The greatest living organisms/animals in your tank (other than your fish) are (1) bacteria (2) snails. Thanks Jason for being a fan of the very best tank eco balance creature in the hobby...the snail.

[@comment.highlighted]

Loving the 4 tanks behind you. Just saw the video on them 🙂

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@Zaku186]

Ive never noticed until now but your beard is absolutely flawless.

[@momof4rugratz]

What is a good gravel cleaner for a 30 gallon tank. I tried 3 them. They didn't work. :(

Why would anyone think he’s purposely ignoring your question 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@pamhall3809]

What does it mean when your clown loaches swim vertically up and down all day

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Mine do that sometimes too - they're just being weirdos.

[@andarien]

Wet armpits and the phone rings

[@MissBeth19]

I always have to watch you on replay as I'm in the UK. I love watching your streams in the evening to relax or while I'm maintaining my tanks ☺️ thanks for keeping me company during those times!

[@naegwut]

Woody woodpecker lol

[@mikeflo2089]

I'm lucky to have a fish room with a cement floor

[@damiangrouse4564]

Boil the wood as much as possible (size dependent) and soak it in hydrogen peroxide/water mix

[@purposebredlabs1992]

Thank you for the pond pump/bucket idea!!!

[@nicmaci7087]

I love snails too! I was so sad when my Krib ate my giant pond snail that I had grown to love. I didn't think she was big enough to damage him. Turns out she was big enough lol

[@lisafoster4468]

I don't mind getting wet...I'm just worried about getting fabric softener in the tank.

[@ilovegirls69style]

gravel vacuum is for dummies

[@sharonlewis6258]

Missed Joanne, but you did great

[@elizabethG633]

For the baby Betta, use a little Epsom salts in the water.

Gotta say, GCCA seems to be crushing it in terms of opportunities to buy/sell fish. Nothing but love to the GCAS (cincinnati club) but we get 2 auctions and one swap per year (no auctions since 2019, though, and nothing planned this year due to facility issues). Yall have something every month!!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Ya, GCCA holds some very large swaps (relatively speaking). Rare fish auctions are awesome too!

[@Char-ho1rs]

I'm here for the beard!😍

[@TheFishNerd]

Was just looking at the rare fish auction prospectus on the GCCA site before starting this video and I can't decide if I'm jealous that you get to go or happy that I can't spend all my money because that's what I would want to do if I was there. Lol So many awesome looking fish on the list!!!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Trust me - be happy you're saving money. :-)

[@jefffleet9546]

Your shoulders are glowing. When your boys leave home will you hire someone to clean yours. I clean 4 but 74 is loads

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

I'll probably just convert to auto water change. :-)

[@eddraromero8142]

What vacuums do you suggest?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

The top fin vacs work just fine.

[@VictoriaLeeCreates]

Wow 74🤘🥴 I have had one to many water over flows pulling that squirrel stunt. I hope to get better at it in the future

[@TheOfficialSteelReign]

Listening in as a member of the Reply Crew this week, Boss. It was Mama Whip's birthday and I took her out for a little dinner and music last night. When I got the notification, she kinda sorta gave me the stink eye when I clicked the link so I could only watch and not hear it live. Great info as always. I gotta say, bravo to you for handling the Bates Yang situation much better than I would have. Even if I hadn't dropped a few choice words in his direction, I certainly wouldn't have invited him to ask it again 😆 Okay, I'm going back to the show.

[@Honda90996]

Amazing info! Lots to learn here! Thank you!!!

[@keikol.7110]

Thanks I totally need tips like this right now 👍

[@loerya99]

Thank you for the great live stream!

[@darcylyon1870]

Fish Santa 🎅

[@keikol.7110]

Replay 👍

[@shellydallas6818]

Hmm I like the Black Phantom Tetra idea for Tapajos. Put my sand in the 75 with an inch of water. Just waiting for Java Ferns and Anubias before I fill it. Fingers crossed they will leave the plants along. Was too tired to stay up last night but I've been watching. So nice to know I have a place to go for questions or issues when they come up.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

That would be a cool combo!

[@jessebelle6596]

Sorry I missed the live stream! Thank you for sharing cleaning tips! I’ll catch you guys next time :)

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

See you next week!
