🔴 LIVE - Take The Next Step

What time is it? We got nobody on here yet. Yeah, well, not terribly. Well, we got Big Tank Hank is here, and Zachary, and Fisher and Fever. So we're all here. Bare Bottom Aquarium. Hi, guys. Bare Bottom Aquariums. Oh, we need to talk. Holly Gibbs, Sandy, Fish Dreams. All right, we got a gang. Here we are. We are at Bio Aquatics. And this is Andre and his son, Andre's, Ryan, who owns Bio Aquatics, and his son. Hi guys, how are you? And they just got boxes in, because they're shipping, because he ships. He's a busy, busy bee. Look at this. I'm going to walk over to the, I need to get pictures of breeding tanks, because we're doing this video is called take the next step the next step being great take the next step enough wi-fi there i think i'm okay so far i'm getting feedback so i guess it's there live yeah i'm live yeah you bet only do live that's i'm gonna walk over looks great so you got the i really like these little boxes they're so expensive though they fit the priority do they I didn't think so. I was doing the priority with peanuts That's a little pricey two bucks, I guess it's not too bad Yeah, but you got to put them in a box. Is that with the cardboard? Well, that ain't bad. All right, we're gonna go This is Frank Gil. I met Frank. We're gonna go. I'm stepping on the trash can Alright, here is here's the farm. Here's here's the farm I don't I don't know how to do this. I have to walk backwards. I guess I'm not gonna walk backwards What I would like to do is reverse the picture so I can read text. Let me see if I can do that Ain't real slick with this stuff. Let's try this, that didn't do anything Yes. Oh, there we go Turn that off there. Okay now I can sort of read text Chevy Fish is here, and Zachary, ignoring me again, James, hi, all right, here's the farm. Let's go in the Quonset hut first. What I want to show you today is a very simple, very basic, very successful breeding operation. Andres has been, he has a master's degree in aquaculture, and he determined that what he wanted to do is spend his life breeding fish and he's bred about everything he researches extensively then tries to create an environment that will be suitable for the animal and the primary his primary focus is water the water quality and here we go the vats And each of these, they're not labeled, so we're going to have to see what we can see. We can catch them here. Synodontis, you can kind of see him scooting around on the bottom. He has about 30 of these vats here. Those guys just darted into the pot. Don't know what they are. Some kind of African, I think. We're not going to see them there. Whoops, coming out. It looks like a, it looks like a Tanganyika, some kind of Tanganyika. It's in probably 400 gallons or so. Oh, oh yeah, more of the same. I have lost my, my, um, chat. Where did the chat go? There it is. Oh, ----. There we go. Everybody's saying hello. So the fish needs the vats. Well, they are available. We can do vats. I think I sold him, or brokered, about half of these vats from a shrimp farm. So you can see what the idea is here. Large volume of water, pretty protected. He's got continuous and pretty substantial water change going on. We'll try to get to his main source of water so we can get a picture of that. These are more Synodontis, it looks like, in here. He's using a floating tray to prevent the water from getting a jet flow. Although some, it doesn't seem to matter. I'm not going to look in every one of these because there's not a lot to see. There's some plants growing in this one. It's getting a little bit of sunlight. He has shade cloth over his quonset to cut it down. now up top here are uh he's got a lot of Hygrophila growing looks like these in all these tanks so that's something new that he's trying that's kind of cool with shrimp let's see some blue don't know what that plant is looks nice though there's some corkscrew looks like the that's sword so that's kind of interesting he's doing plants it was the first i've seen him doing doing plants i want to get down here and check out the water oh dear chris listen child of god um you are forgiven before you sin so forgot my name is unexpected troll bare bottom that's all right we'll talk bare bottom bio aquatics don't get gills yes that's correct uh fish dreams tap water with dechlorinated healthy yeah it's fine uh he's got a well here this is all well water and it's coming up i don't know where his main vat is this looks like this is probably it because he's got a top off on it so this is his main source of um of water that he's feeding everything there's i don't know where it's coming out there's filtration over there. I'll just get around and look at this stuff. I keep losing the chat. I think I've seen this facility before. Yeah, Aquarium Co-op was here a year or so ago and did kind of a walkthrough. I wanted to do a more in-depth showing how he breeds fish. And this is just so far we're seeing a very small part of the operation. We're going to get into more of it here shortly. These are red, what are they called? Red convicts, flame convicts, something pretty fish, pretty, pretty fish. We've got a bunch of these in the shop. Andres and I have a, we do a lot of trade. I give him a lot of tanks. These are angels. He's got lots and lots of angels. I don't know if you can see him very well. Full of angels. And there are half a half a dozen vats here filled with angels. Let's see if we can get past the glare. Can't get past the glare. Loaches. Yes, he does find loaches. There's a female full of eggs. Let's see what we're seeing here. Uh-oh. Only my two quarantine tanks and one breeding tank are bare bottomed. That's usually a good choice. It's a lot easier to keep baby tanks clean with a bare bottom. Oh, look at these. Can you see them? He's got big breeders in here. I've got to get some of these. Wow, nice. More angels. These look like they're blues. Young blue angels. This is baby something. Convicts, I guess. Red convict. on to another building. He's sitting on about five acres here that borders State Park, so he's not in any danger of anything. This is the neighbor's property. He does long-distance trucking and other stuff. There's a house in back of him, and this This is the main building, it's got a couple of ponds in the back, but it doesn't raise fish in the ponds, just plants, and they're really only kind of bunch plants, guppy grass type plants. These, oh that's interesting, I didn't see those nuts before, all of those tanks you see out there, tanks that he got from me in the 40s, I ought to get them back, they're so nice. 40s and i sold them all now i wish i had a few typical here's some plants he's brought in in buckets growing out in buckets i guess they look nice don't they it's parrot's feather these are uh ludwigia that's a pretty one look at that very nice more parrot's feather tadpoles okay going inside i'll be able to create our little packers and pythons just saying well it's gone crazy. I'm at about, I'm averaging 100 subs a day right now. This has been going on for since the 27th, so a little more than two weeks, but it started to scale in London. I don't know what's going to happen. It's a glorious ride. Okay, so it looks like I've got caught up talking about different formats, YouTube formats. Appreciate comments. Be wary about plans with goldfish at this point somebody calling for me so i should be best because um the building is a metal roof building so i'm not gonna be able to go in there that's a shame that's where he's bringing all of his tagajikas boo let's see let's go down here maybe we can maybe we can see something Am I still here? Yeah, you are, and I am too. I'll get to the bottom You sent Adonis eight-year-news. That seems unlikely. Worky, worky, who's that? I can't tell. I can't read. It's too dark. Somebody trolling. Or somebody saying something. That town was from a really old style dollop. It's more like a bell. Weird. Da-da-da-da. All right, let's see what we got here. These are all tanks. He's constantly redoing his fish room. So this is his tank stock, a lot of which he got from me, but like those he did not. I'm not familiar. They look like they came off of a farm. They're very, very etched, which is a good sign they sat on a farm. Nice tanks, though. They're about a 20. They're four foot, three, four foot, maybe 24, 30 inches. Really interesting tank. These he got for me. These are all 40s, which I'm in love with. I need to get some of them back. Oh, I wonder where these came from. These came off of a farm and are a really interesting system. They're drilled in the bottom with a standpipe. So the farmer goes down the row, pulls all the pipes out. They drain completely to the bottom, puts the pipes back in, and turns the water back on. And they keep going. so he does 100% water change with minimum effort let's see what's in here this is all under construction obviously wow look at these guys oh he got that for me got two of these they're neat tanks i like these guys they're uh 400s eight foot by four foot there are two of them here he hasn't set them up yet a couple of vats thanks he's obviously starting to do something in here it'll probably be a summer project it's pretty hot it's probably up in the 90s so stuff stuff i wish we could go in the room there but we lose signal that's a shame well i'll tell you what we can do i have not looked at his pond so we'll walk around back and look at the ponds well this is pretty what is that i don't know what that is that's pretty neat it's a floating look at that I gotta get me some of that I'm getting the shadow here so I can read the text a bit see what you guys are talking about flat tanks would be good something shelly tanks yes that's about what he's doing he does have shellies he's got about five or six species that he's trying to get going redwood red root plant that's nice the red root floater what is that Red Root Floater. Yeah, it's cool. I'm going to get a handful of it. Thank you. You going to the post office? Yeah, FedEx. I'm going to be cutting out of here pretty quick. I will. Yeah, in fact, I'll go on there and refer this over because we're doing a one-hour live. It'll be about I don't know how many, 40 or so. Yeah. How many people are on? I can't read it. I'll be back shortly. Okay. okay see you a little later right i can't go in the building i've got no signal let me go around back here frank's got him cornered i was out in the sun yeah the phone overheated so i'm back down to two people here not surprised i can't fish you and me it's you and me buddy i've been offline for 10 minutes so fisher carts is back and says yay yeah me too content's too hot that's what it is you're right who said that jordan ella right you got it fishing carts hi there and old ---- straw hello hello too hot to handle down the wormhole is still here hi there pretty lady friend it's not my lady friend it's andre's lady friend and a very very pretty lady she's french speaks french fluently which i don't but i struggle with it she's also quite an artist neat t-shirts do some Father's Day t-shirts that we can make available oh catfish terry chevy fish fish dreams and sabrina says amazing so anyway you got a little bit i was hoping to be able to do a whole lot more i think what i'm gonna have to do and i may do it while i'm still here i have my camera with me i think i may go in and film the rest of the farm that i could not uh do live with my phone uh and then do it as a video i think that would make sense it is i have no idea 4 20 well we're running way over aren't we we're probably running into somebody who are we stepping on miss most of the trip well uh future cards we're we're we're i guess we're wrapping up frankly i've been offline for 10 or 15 minutes because my phone overheated i'm out at a farm at bio bio aquatics which is a sarasota based uh breeding farm and a spectacular operation um aquarium co-op was here let me turn the radio off aquarium co-op was here oh golly Year or two ago I'm gonna do a more in-depth.
