He Turned His Garage into a Fish Room to Make Money Doing What He Loves
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
It's impressive how Carlos is utilizing the little space he has in his garage to breed fish for some profit. He is making some money doing exactly what he loves and with what he has to work with. Breeding fish, shrimp or snails for a profit isn't always easy but Carlos has figured out what works for him in his area. It was great getting to know Carlos aka The Fish Nerd after stopping at his hows to check out his garage fish room.
Check out his channel here at the Fish Nerd:
/ @thefishnerd
This was a really enjoyable tour that we got to see how Carlos breeds Cherry shrimp, guppies, live bearers, plecos and snails for a profit. I can't wait to see his next addition to the garage fish room.
It was great hearing how Carlos was inspired by Dustins Fish Tanks, The King of DIY and Aquarium Co-Op to make his fish room a reality. You can see that it paid off!

On that diy trickle tower you should put a very coarse sponge above your polyfil. This way it spreads the water out more before it hits the fine filter. This way it doesnt just blow a small hole right through the fine filter. I hope that make sense. Lol

Listening to his advice at 2am. lol
I wish the person doing videos, would say "I'm in Kentucky/Ohio/Tennessee- ect." so you know if one of the persons interviewed are LOCAL to the viewer, so they might also be able to meet or see the place in person.

I do not want to seem rude but I am guessing many people interviewed do not want to have the average person showing up and walking though their house. Like when our fish room is finally ready we will do 1 open house (and that will still be by invite and only to people we have done business with in the past) and from there it will go back to invite only.
Hey guys, new to your videos but have some questions... 1. You can sell snails to fund other things? 2. Are there certain snails that do better with that than others? 3. Do you have other videos explaining this?? Thanks in advance for any time spent on answering.

I love how just about every fish breeder on KZread is unable to properly pronounce Cholla wood the correct way. LOL It is pronounced "Choy Ya" wood and it comes from a type of cactus in the high desert of California and similar areas.
What type of angelfish are those.. absolutely amazing colors..a marble mix?
I wish Carlos had a KZread channel
I got rock from new Mexico I filled my carry on with them lmao
Get a couple of assassin snails and let the hunger games begin

The garage is insulated and I have an AC vent that cools it. On days where it's too hot for the one vent to keep it cool I just crack open the door to the house.
put the sword tail fry in a long tank like a 55 in brackish conditions and feed varied rich diet ,3 times a day, see if they grow out faster for you , could do a test small setup
10:19 the snail there looks unique
NIIIICE
It is very strange but every dog I've ever had loves fish food!! LoL I dare anyone to let their dog try it and I promise you they go nuts
hi may i ask if a drift system is costly?water bill & all
How would you clean the substrate with all those snails on the ground?
The garage set up is great. The heat doesn’t make it easy in California.
Carlos, tell me more abour your Koi Swords, I was going to breed them & I heard you say they grow slow ? Bad idea ??
At 7:28 what type of plants are those?
This guy's water bill has to be insane.

I am a very amateur fish lover, wanting get a tank going. (I have a turtle, gold fish, hermits, a betta, and just got a bumble bee snail, and can’t remember the other kind. This is a question I am very curious about. I see all of you amazing tanks with all the plants, and tons of fish. You might have already explained it, but do you have to do a water change? Clean the tank? Or is the filter and the balance of all you have keep it clean? Just wondering. I am sure some of you other fishy 🐠🐟people out there answer my question.😉
