God bless you and God bless anyone reading this! Hope you have an awesome day! Seek him while you can! Jesus is the way and the only way and he is returning soon! Whenever you think you aren't loved... Remember the ultimate sacrifice was for love! ENDING YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE ANSWER! For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV The wages of sin is death (hell) but Jesus paid our debt on the cross, for our salvation! We must turn to God and away from our sinful ways, Confess Jesus is Lord and believe with our hearts that he was risen from the dead by God, and we must be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit and live by His word and Commandments! Trust that God will help with the rest! Seek God today before it's too late! Today could be your last day on earth! Have a blessed day! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❗️

Dios te bendiga y Dios bendiga a Todos los que estan leyendo esto! Deseo que tengan un hermoso dia! Buscad a Dios mientras pueda ser hallado! Jesus es el camino y el unico camino y regresa pronto! Recuerda cuando te sientas que no eres amado... el mayor sacrificio se hizo por amor! EL SUICIDIO NUNCA ES LA RESPUESTA! Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna. S. Juan 3:16 RVR1960 La paga del pecado es muerte (infierno) pero Cristo pagó nuestra deuda en la cruz para nuestra salvacion! Debemos volvernos a Dios y apartarnos de nuestros caminos pecaminosos, confesar que Jesús es el Señor y creer con nuestro corazón que fue resucitado de entre los muertos por Dios, y debemos de ser bautizados en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo y vivir por Su palabra y mandamientos! Confia que Dios ayudara con el resto! Busca a Dios, antes de que sea muy tarde! Hoy podria ser tu ultimo dia en la tierra! Que tengas un hermoso dia! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❗️❗️

I can't thank you enough for your wonderful videos. When my son was little I dabbled in having freshwater aquariums in his room, but I have not had an aquarium for over a decade, and see that I basically was doing EVERYTHING wrong. I have learned so much from each of your videos and love your delivery. I have three requests/questions: 1/ Do you have a Freshwater Aquarium 101? Basically a video for people who are clueless and know nothing. 2/I am confused regarding guppies and angel fish. The both seem to have made it on the the lists of the best fish to get for beginners, and the worst. 3/You ship to the States? How is that possible? I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and I would love to buy from you, but I can't understand how your precious little fish can make it half way around the world. Thanks again, you have made something I have been thinking about doing again both educational and fun.

Im a landscaper (south ga) and rhizome growing plants for me are called nutsedge. Pulling that out of ground activates the rhizome and more grow off of that. Around 1700 nutsedge per year off one plant. With that being said i wonder with the Anubias and other rhizome growing plants i feel like you can almost move them around the tank without actually taking them out. Just letting them sprout off one direction and keep it going while pulling the trail. With my experience rhizome growing plants are harder to kill. Thanks for your video. -new tank owner

All it took was 2 'normal' water changes for my plants to grow (And I added some as we went) to the point where the nitrites are getting sucked up SO much. I barely need to change water at this point, with this stock in a ~9gal. (4tiny killis, 2 dwarf gouramis, 2 amano, 6 pygmy cory, 3 otos) It's a decent amount of stock, I keep expecting to do a water change but the nitrates build up SOOOO slowly! And the rest of the cycle is doing great. I have 2 anubius, some kind of sword, some long-blade grass cover and another cover (A cript) plant, and about 6 watersprites that propagated from 2. Oh and a bunch of huge (amazon) frogbit. Between the sprite and the frogbit, I think they're the ones sucking up nitrates. I trim them way more often than I do water changes, and I find it quite fun. My wife's goldfish eats some of the frogbit roots and bits too!

I got a few Amazon swords from petsmart on my last visit. They were discounted and dying. Got them for a fraction of the cost I figured might as well get some experience keeping plants alive so I bought them, and I'm super surprised at how fast their roots started growing after putting them in my tank. It's been a week and they are looking really well.
