I have been trying to get a video done myself but even at a couple minutes per tank, it's just over an hour. LoL Keep me on just the forums and IG/FB for now.

Very well produced. I just subscribed to your YouTube channel! And, nice aquarium too, it was quite the evolution from the first version of the tank to the current version. I was surprised to hear just a little bit of a southern accent (not that there is anything wrong with that). Seeing the video of your aquarium makes me want to do an attractive planted aquarium.

Some people are surprised to know I was born and raised in Louisiana, but I can start sounding pretty backwoods when I'm around my extended family long enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are surprised to know I was born and raised in Louisiana, but I can start sounding pretty backwoods when I'm around my extended family long enough. I lived up in the hills of western North Carolina for a while in the late 1980s and my accent has never recovered from that.🙂 I also lived in Louisiana during the middle 1960s in a trailer park between Mandeville and Slidell across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans. My next door Gervy Soneji taught me how to count to 10 in French (actually Cajun) and properly clean a fish so as not to waste a scrap of meat. I dragged my wife into the fishroom and showed her your video and her response was "why don't you do a tank like that?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriskm Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Great video! Your plants are looking so nice with that CO2. And now I want to replace my dwarf lily with a tiger lotus--so much more red. I also love the pearl scale on your angelfish. Hope they continue to get along. I have a pair in my 40 breeder display tank who just bred for the first time--it was the left-hand 20 gal for them, and the right-hand 20 gal for everyone else (cardinal tetras, lemon tetras, albino corys, panda garra). Of course, the eggs were quickly eaten. I might try saving some next time. That idea of taking out most of the hinge on your lid is smart--mine is right in the way of the light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenP2003 Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 I did another tank tour, this time with my kids' tanks. Starting to get the hang of video editing and even a little bit of stop motion animation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphy1701 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Awesome video, truly laugh out loud funny. Subscribed and liked. All my fish have always been furniture movers. Never done a planted but it doesn't matter. "Hey, Bro! I'm gonna take this thing your just bought and placed and move it over here and leave it upside down! That cool?" Years ago, I had a 55 with two Oscars and it ended up being them, one big rock, and one big piece of wood. They demolished everything. Even plastic plants. They would dig them up and drag them around and shake them until they fell apart. Absolute wrecking crew. But that is what Oscars do. No regrets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenP2003 Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'm kind of wondering how far from "family friendly" I can go before any shred of broad appeal goes out the window. My sense of humor easily slips into the gutter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenP2003 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 I did some DIY to add more dynamic lighting to the Current Serene background kit, just uploaded a video on it. This time, I'm on camera at the beginning and end of it. Also, I bought a green screen and simply cannot take it seriously. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenP2003 Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) I am so mad at myself. Waterchanging with the python today, looked away for a minute, my betta wedged himself at the end of the tube. Got him out of the tube, but I think it's too late. He's alive but doesn't appear to be able to move much or at all, been like that almost all day. Edit: unfortunately he passed. The siphon pressure must've done internal damage. This is perhaps my lowest point in fishkeeping thus far because it was a completely preventable accident caused by my own negligence. I mean, I'm still going to betta-shop this week. But I'll be sad about it. RIP Edited April 12, 2021 by StephenP2003 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I managed to pull one THROUGH a siphon tube once. His fins were never the same, and it hurt to look at him. I am sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
