Thank you! I love that he tries to explain the German origin, but completely messes it up. I nearly had a coronary when he said the eszett makes the Z sound... dude, no. in German, the S makes the z sound and the eszett makes the hard hissing "S" sound. I shouldn't freak out over it but it is like nails on a chalkboard for me.

Thank you! Great video! Markus is right it does translate to Freshwater Seaweed (or kelp). "Suss" actually means sweet. In german when you say "sweet water" it means that the water is unsalted or "fresh water" in English. Kind of like we have salted butter and we call unsalted butter "sweet" butter. It isn't actually sweet it is just not salted. The word "wasser" means water and "tang" is seaweed or kelp. I don't know why they still use the Eszett-I mean I know it tells you which sound to make but it just seems outdated and creates confusion for people trying to learn German! Ok-now I'm going to "sew" my Susswassertang into long kelp ropes!! Thanks for the great idea!!

Im just passing on what im passionate about and trying to learn the new and quirky connections that occur when natural history and human history intersect. Every view, subscriber and like, means a lot to me. Im learning how to work KZread as I go, but the channel is only 2 months old, and im trying to build a community as well. Also i want to keep this channel ad free unless it's for relevant products and responsible/quality companies. But until I get to 1000 followers I can't control that too much with KZread's new policies. In the end my patreon page is how I hope to fund the hours of research and care of my animals. My first purchase with 30 dollars on patreon was a tripod haha. So if I earn it, in the future, I value a dollar or two patreon supporters immensely as well. I make my living jumping from art gig to graphic design gig and the last 2 months it's been slow, so i decided to put my heart into pumping out content. So again, Thank you, im never hoping to get rich or live off anything like this, but sustaining my animals and actually engaging with people and entertaining them while sharing my learning process is the goal

Probably moss, just because it grows much faster

This one is popping up in two of my tanks. I have no idea where it came from.

Susswasertang is neat. A fern perpetually stuck in the Gametophyte/prothallium stage but never develops further and continues to grow and replicate staying as a Gametophyte. I wonder if the genetic variation comes from exposure to genetic information of other related fern prothallium sex organs. I'd imagine that's what those 'spore' spots are supposed to be, and they might allow for genetic 'mixing' under the right conditions.
