The Importance of Fungus in Your Aquarium!!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
One of the critical component sof your aquarium is FUNGI! Why didn't we know?
Mycelium is the roots of fungus. It must be in your tank. Lotic and lentic water must be understood.
Microfauna is the tiny animals our fish eat.
We didn't know. This changes everything. There are 2000 species of fungi living in your aquarium. Get outside into the wilds, the woods, the stream, the ponds and find decaying leaves. It will bring life into your aquarium.

I love this video so very much. I love the computerized father fish, I loved the different clips, I loved the information, I loved it all. Father Fish you are the absolute best.
this makes sense since i managed to get a small tree or bush to root in my aquarium, now trees need fungi to grow, so the ability to grow roots on a standard common bush or tree, is amazing.
Oh my that opening bit caught me off guard! ❤
The forehead going up and down with the eyes going wild just gets me smiling!!!

New Courage the Cowardly Dog epsiode. Father Fish standing outside the barn saying "Return the Fungi, you must. Or suffer my curse"
Now i know..i'll just dip my feet in my aquariums every morning. My aquariums will be abundant with fungi in no time. Haha. Im not sure about the floating head bouncing around..its like a subliminal thing..i walked around saying i must have fungi for an hour before my wife slapped me out of it.

@FatherFish more too come kind sir !
yes some fungi is introduced into the aquarium through compost and such in the substrate of the fatherfish method. Also botanicals im sure have some spores. You would be surprised at how effective and far spores can travel. Fungi work with the plants to break down matter. I do appreciate fatherfish trying out different ways to deliver his videos. However I found this one a little difficult to follow and I am not sure if it is the editing, his excitement, or the little man flying around that I find distracting. That's just me and I am weird so don't take it to heart. But honestly I am find with just some video or photos of fish, plants, nature, or whatever he is talking about and fatherfish in the bottom corner of the screen talking. Real fatherfish or digital fatherfish.
Oh my. Is there going to be a test? I didn't study!! Great job, I'll dream of fungi

all i know is the most grunge tanks are the best, right? i can't even see the fish... but i want my swimming pool crystal clear. in case there's a shark...
Father Fish, I added materials from the resurrection jar into the tank and waited for the particles to settle. Initially, everything was clear and the water was crystal clear. However, when I turned on the filter, the water flow stirred up the particles, making the water cloudy. What should I do? I think the current flow isn't good for the microfauna. Please advise...is there any problem if i dont use the filter..

Although specific studies on plankton consuming fungal spores are limited, the interconnected nature of freshwater ecosystems suggests that such interactions likely occur. Being the case the presence of fungal spores could possibly offer aquatic environments a wider variety of nutritional value including essential vitamins.... ie a more diverse range of food than just algae alone...

FF really channeling his inner Rick Sanchez 😂
Real question, what if a guy had some dried magic mushrooms, or spent substrate caked in mycelium. Can that be a source?
Yes
I first spent one week loading my tank with spores, I then placed a few small pieces of a variety of woods including hazel and alder into my sump.. The wood pieces in my sump should take around a year or two to be completely consumed which will maintain a presence of spores within the water there after...These spores have evolved to thrive in both environments... Here is an example of their effectiveness,,, I placed one FRESH green leaf into my tank and within three days mycelium began to grow on the leaf even though there was no signs of decomposition within that time yet all other plants in my tank remain totally un effected....!
So this doesn't sound 100% like FatherFish, more like an AI. Should we know something about his state ?

Aquatic environments are intrinsically connected to terrestrial environments, One of the other things hardly mentioned is protein, An average garden pond would probably consume around 24 grams of protein a week from external sources such as insects dead fish and dead micro fauna.. A regular seasonal supply of nutrition from external sources is required to sustain the volume of biological organisms that specialise on consuming them...

Should i directly setup organic soil in tank and create immediate setup by adding plants? Or can i wait for week for ammonia to gases off? B.) how many plants should i add for my 20 Gallon tank? Is more plants more better? And is it crucial to immediately add plants after setting up dirted tank?

Always wanted to ask, so... No parasites from the "wild" could actually harm my shrimp, if i also have small shrimps? Like planaria for example?
@shineOn_75

You have to be careful. I learned the hard way. Put whatever you collect into a mason jar with the water from the pond. Keep it in there for at least 30 days- I prefer with a small air stone and valve control. Look at it very, VERY carefully. Use a magnifying 🔍 glass, if possible. I did not look careful enough. My resurrection jar had planaria in it that I missed. I placed these leaves in my Neocaridina shrimp tank. Before I realized it, the Planaria had multiplied in numbers. They almost completely wiped out all of my Neocaridina shrimp. I had a couple hundred and now I have maybe 20 left. So, be careful and really examine that jar before you toss its contents into your tanks.
I’m gonna need a bigger truck. 😂
Hey Father Fish! I have a heavily planted 20g tank with about 4” of sand, i’ve been slowly adding decaying leaves from local waterways and the tank appears to be thriving! Ever since i started listening to you i’ve had no fish die in any tanks. Although, i never added a dirt substrate layer to the 20g, just sand.. I am tempted to take everything out and start from scratch but is it worth it?? I want to go filterless and start a food web. Would i be better off just leaving the tank alone and continuing to add decaying plant matter??
@eveningclicks7767
21 күн бұрын
I would imagine over time, fish poo and other particles will make it below your sand and that would be your "dirt" layer. If your tank is doing fine, I would just keep doing what you are doing. If you are interested in doing something from scratch, I would just get another tank to have in the home to enjoy and do it the FF way from the get go.
