I am 2 weeks into it in my fiddler crab tank and it seems happy.. it is definitely growing strong on the land section, we'll see how the brackish water affects it long term

I came to your channel for red claw crab care. Im here now like this guy sounds like Chris Wood. Wish wish you the best bro! ❤

Thanks for sharing how it does from above ground to submerged, and vice versa. I'm planning on using this in a small backyard pond and will keep some potted for next season just in case. It's only $4 at my local Lowe's for a small plug

are these small bubbles is oxygen ? if yes how you make them

???

I don’t want snails sorry I give you DISLIKE 👎

Can you inbox me please? I'm having issues w my red claws

How often do you feed them green beans?

were you able to breed your red-clawed crabs?

Fired clay is inert. It doesnt do anything with any ions. Pile of BS.

Can we use sand as last layer?

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I agree with you. Mulm is inert once it is biologically broken down and does not harm the fish in any way. Also since I was a kid I have always kept water in buckets to gas off for a week or so before using it in my tanks and had never used dechlorinators and never had fish dying due to chlorine.

Super late here but how have you found using these flood lights? I have a 125g also and was thinking about buying 3 of the 50w lights myself. My current Amazon light isn't doing anything for my plants.

I know this was done awhile ago but just some info. The holes you see in your leaves are a potassium deficiency. You mentioned adding Java fern recently and it is a potassium hog. Maybe related.

Can u not just use florist red as it is made of clay and iron rich Because I live in uk and it is impossible to find natural clay cat litter

I absolutely agree with your holistic approach against baby brine shrimps in freshwater aquarium !

Liked. Nice approach!

6:30 how do you can have daphnia in your tanks with the fish 🐠 ???

Can you tell me the lumens output

I know this video is very old, but I have to point out that this information is incorrect. I have kept these crabs for many years in both fresh and brackish set-ups and they live just as long and are just as healthy in fresh water as in brackish. You have their breeding pattern backwards aswell, they spend the majority of their lives in fresh water and migrate to brackish water to release their eggs. It is their young that require brackish water to mature, after which they too will head back to fresh water until they themselves reproduce. You are correct about them not being fully aquatic though, it is essential they have access to land. A floating "turtle dock" will suffice for 1 or 2 crabs in a pinch (no pun), but ideally they do need plenty of land to explore, and they will definitely need more than a dock if you have more than 3 in a tank. One more note: Males are extremely territorial, so only 1 male per tank. Otherwise the bigger one will 100% definitely hunt the smaller one until it kills it and if they are evenly matched they will rip each others limbs off. I hope this updated info is useful to someone.👍

This video is super helpful. I work at a pet store and we just recently started getting red claws and I’m studying so I know what to tell customers !

I am only just finding his videos now , and just implementing the anoxic filtration myself so I hope I get the same results 🤞🏽 glad I found your videos as well and hear your views. 👍🏼

How has it worked?

I’m pretty sure the other ingredients neutralize the bulk of the iron when mixed together in same container.

Thank you for the great content. I totally agree!

Hi I recently just got two red claw crabs. Have you had any success housing them with larger snails? I've seen people on both sides about it. I've been trying to do more research since PetSmart didn't even tell me they needed to be in brackish water and recommended some pellet food for them. I would like to get at least two Molly's and possibly some snails if they can all get along

Nice setup

💯👍👍

Can you please make a diy video of this filter Jay🙏🙏

You mention the larvae need freshwater; I heard 1.015-1018 S.G.. Were you able to successfully breed them? If so can you elaborate how?

alligator snapping turtles are cool

How much do you feed a day?

How do I transition these guys to brackish water? My two I got today are living in freshwater. I’d like for them to breed. So I’m assuming they need the salt water for that.

Man. I just got two. Male and female. They told me they don’t live in brackish water, they live in fresh water…. Am I killing them using fresh tap water that’s treated? Or should I add some salt to the water?! I’m from Ontario Canada…

Is this safe for a goldfish tank?

The neon tetra brawl was a nice bonus

I love my golden creeping Jenny. Bought it at a pet store as a bundle for 3$. My pet store employees have no idea what is what so sometimes i get awesome deals sold as "bundles". How do you trim this plant though? Do you uproot it and plant the tops like other stem plants?

Really nice video enjoy all the information where you get the copepods?

What is your kitty litter made from. In South Africa it's bentonite clay. Is that safe for aquariums.

How long would you 'gas' a 32g bucket for water changes without de-chlorinator? What about the toxic metals de-chlorinators remove? Great video! thanks.

Did you hear from the Ohio website?

hey i am the frist to comment yay

Those bubbles coming out of the substrate could also be N2 - since nitrogen gas is the end result of the nitrogen cycle

Walstead method.

Damn man I have the same tank and the same lights as you. I am about to modify my fluval canister tanks as well.

I am really interested as of how you did modify fluval? Do you have a video of that, how does it work for your Nitrates?

I watched Dr. Novak and Fater fish and I really want to go this way as well.

How do you have the canister filter set up?

Hi Jay, I just saw your video, fantastic information's, I am following Dr. Kevin, Mrs. Salty and Shaun of Australia, I have no words to thank all of you for showing this fantastic process of filtration with extremely low cost, for us that love this hobby.

The eggs are hard to see from the video- do they have any distinct shape? Are they very round? I found something in my breeder tank that resembles eggs under the microscope but looks like it’s almost in a little case and trying to figure out if it’s an Oto egg. Thanks for your help!
