I think we're a part of the "dedicated fanbase" audience which will appreciate whatever Adam does as long as he's dedicated to it. We aren't really the majority of people who bring in the big bucks and views or whatnot (unless Adam sets up a Patreon), but we're the ones who watch fish videos and listen to podcasts on Taylor Swift and working out. An estimation of our numbers could probably be drawn out from the podcast listens and recent fish video views, so maybe that's worth looking into and measuring to see the difference between the "general audience" and the "dedicated fanbase"

Like I suspect of many KZread consumers, I fixate on a few creators at a time, get burned out, then ignore them for months until they resurface in my rotation. I literally thought I would get his usual considered opinion on the best pairing with white rice, but rather than be disappointed I stayed and watched the whole thing with interest! This is the kind of stuff that keeps creators fresh and I'm glad he's homing in on the right calibration so he can sustain his channel.

Hi Adam! i love your videos and as someone who lives in Indonesia, we eat a lot of rice fish in our daily diet and i feel like you represented this very well. Usually we would just deep fry the rice fish with some spices and eat them with a side of sambal and rice. I hope you can fully utilise the versatility of rice fish as i think it's an underrated protein. Thank you and Have a great day :)

There's a cool farm I saw in the Philippines. In tagalog it is called Palay-isdaan. Rice paddies surrounded with fishes, acted as both pest control and nitrites from fish poop provided natural nitrogen feeds to the rice paddies. A cool symbiotic relationship for all your carb and protein needs in one farming plot.

I love how Adam isn’t afraid to explore other interests on his channel, seeing the build video would be great!

“Do you want to see the build video?” Yes, definitely, AntsCanda is one of my favorite channels and they sparked my interest for these kind of videos. I think expanding on non-food related subjects Adam takes interest in will be good in the long run

A what now?

The grain crop that typically yields the highest calories per acre is corn (maize). Corn is known for its high carbohydrate content, which contributes to its high caloric density. This makes it an efficient crop in terms of calories produced per unit of land. Other grains like rice, wheat, and soybeans also have significant caloric yields, but generally, corn is the leader in terms of calorie production per acre. This efficiency is one of the reasons corn is a staple crop in many agricultural systems around the world.

​@@runwords_ adding onto this thought that most corn grown is as feed for livestock, esp for finishing cattle before slaughter. this type of corn too is less useful for human consumption, and has to be processed, eg milled into flour and nixtamalized. corn does however have a unique photosynthetic pathway that enables it to use much less water than most plants, and there has been novel research into inducing this in other plants by transferring the correct genes over.

I raised a lot of fish when I was young (guppies and tropicals; no goldfish, although my kids won goldfish at the Oktoberfest midway games every fall, and they lived forever because I insisted we keep a well-maintained tank), but it's been years since I've had a tank. All the fish vids lately have been great; count me in for the build video. You definitely have me thinking about starting a new tank, and I'd really like to try my hand with some Medaka.

Wild story in relation to the topic of eating medaka. Tatsuki Fujimoto (the creator of the series Chainsaw Man) once had a pet medaka. When it eventually died his girlfriend told him to bury it, but the soil was too hard, so he left it on the ground. The sight of ants carrying away the fish made him sad, so he got rid of the ants and proceeded to eat the medaka. The next day he had gastroenteritis and lied to his girlfriend about what caused the illness.

I consider Adam an applied science communicator, so aquarium content is right on brand! Go for it!

Wow, these rice fish are like the unsung heroes of the aquatic world! But you know what's even more fascinating? The way that eel-looking guy (who's not an eel) casually gulps air - talk about living life on the edge. Reminds me of the "What happened to our stash?" dilemma from "We Need Cash." Anyway, it's like the rice fish are the secret agents of the aquarium world, thriving in conditions others find challenging. And that 18th-century painting with the girls and the madaka in a glass beaker is practically an ancient version of an Instagram post - timeless and quirky. By the way, have you ever tried preserving rice fish like anchovies? Apparently, it's a thing, and they describe it as pleasantly bitter. Life in a fishbowl just got a whole lot more interesting!

Nice! I've been keeping Ricefish about 2 month now, trying to get a colony of both Daisy Orange Medaka, and Sparkling Blue Medaka. Might play around with cross-breeding the lines once I've got my colonies going. Loving the aquarium content Adam!

Since you mentioned Indonesia in your video, any chance you might explore a little bit about some of Indonesian cuisine? Especially when you want to make one of the best soup Indonesia has to offer: Rawon. It is made using Kluwak (or Keluwak), which gives the soup its black colour and is poisonous if not treated correctly. You will probably have fun exploring the chemical properties of the plant and why it is used.

Adam’s fish tank arc is not something I thought I wanted, but I’m so into it now. Aquariums are sweet!

"And now I'd like to take a moment to thank the sponsor of this video, Rice. Rice is the grain that feeds most humans, by giving a higher yield of calorie per gram than any other grain."

I have platinum and orange varieties. I keep them outdoors in concrete mixing tubs with a bunch of plants. No filter, no airstone, no waterchanges and barely any feeding. They thrive and breed great.

Its so cool to see you getting more into fishkeeping! I love my dwarf blue ricefish

Love this different content! Would be amazing to see the whole building process! Thank you Adam for all these amazing videos you have been uploading

PLEASE give us the build video!! I'm a reptile girlie who can't do aquariums right now (space- & time-wise), so I loveeee watching aquarium build stuff. Let me live vicariously through you!

you have amazing aquascapes! i’m so happy to see a youtuber that doesn’t upload fish videos, having beautiful tanks, which are completely ethical and not fish abuse at all.

If you don't want to dilute your food video brand you could always make an Adam Rag2sea channel for this sort of thing.

Whether it’s videos or podcasts, my very favorite content of yours is when you’re talking about something you clearly like very much, something that makes you happy. (The brazilian steakhouse episode is a good example of this on the podcast.) These recent fish videos have been delightful for that reason, and I’d love to see more!

This is honestly one the best channel on youtube, I am always learning something new

I always have considered your journalism to be the core of your channel and I think all the fish stuff is awesome

Yes please show the whole process of building your fish tank!!

I have always been absolutely fascinated by aquatic habitats. Specifically shallow, vegitated habitats like marshes or river mouths, or small creeks. I have a tiny creek behind my house ( maybe 4 feet across and only inches deep in places ) that sparked that. From catching tiny mystery sunfish the size of a quarter after flooding to snapping turtles no bigger than the palm of your hand. To 3-4 pound suckers swarming the creek on a spawning run. Basically I want more of this content lol

I still cannot believe such high quality content is available for free

Its funny to me because Ive been a long time fan of both fish and cooking youtube, and to see Adam (one of my favourite cooking youtubers) getting into fish, its like a fever dream, a great fever dream!

Speaking of inbreeding, I had 4 generations (it took roughly more than 1 year) which resulted in bent spines and fish that are out of shape after a succession of keeping them in just 1 or 2 tanks (I wasn't experience of them then). It's best to separate them but it's hard to tell newer generations apart. Colorful varieties can also lead to beige off-springs, which is their natural color, or even a white/silver color.

When I worked in an aquarium store I was able to convince the owners to order in some medaka. I’m glad to see you enjoying them!

I lived in Kenya for a while and they had a very similar looking fish to this we ate all the time. It was called “omena”. Very fishy. You’d go to a market and they’d have tarps with a giant mound of thus fish drying in the sun. The person selling them would lazily bat the flies away with a flip flop. They would use an old, rusty can as a unit of measurement. You could buy a small, medium or large amount for a few “bob” (local slang for Kenyan schilling). Happy to give more info if anyone is interested.

Adam, your channel is great, I see no reason not to allow yourself to pivot. Your cooking videos are genuinely the most useful for a home cook, but I love your science videos too. A DIY/hobby or even just a random interesting video sounds like a wonderful path to wander!

Man, I just love your attitude, thought process, and approach to life. Show me whatever. I am here for you (though I do particularly love your deep journalistic dives).

I'm really enjoying Adam's fishkeeping arc. I hope to see more of these videos!

Bring on the fish content! I keep planted fish tanks (and rice fish too), so the recent fish videos have been a pleasant surprise. If you made a separate channel specifically for fish/plant stuff, I would subscribe to that as well.

Very relieved to see that the KZreadr crossing over between food KZread and aquarium KZread is not a mukbanger.

As soon as I saw rice next to tiny fish, my immediate thought was filipino food. This is a regular thing for their breakfast. Fry up hundreds, then add in Apple Cider/White Vinegar and you got a good snack. Not Medaka, but tiny fish more or less.

I love you Adam. You’re my go-to for sleepy watching. Please post the tank build! If you say “ should I post-“ it’s a yes! Any videos are great lol.

My whole thing on KZread is food and DiY so an Adam Ragusea DIY video is basically perfect for me

Something about this video really reminded me of Alton Brown. Maybe it's the way he articulated ricefish vs rice-fish. Either way I would absolutely LOVE to see that build video

Food was the bait, but Adam Ragusea was the hook. Im here for any video stuff you do.

I made fish yesterday and wanted to copy a Ragusea recipe so your timing is impeccable

Yes we absolutely need the aquarium build video 100% 1000%

I found your videos looking for a pizza recipe, I’ve watched pretty much every video you’ve put out and I mostly use KZread for food videos. I have found all my favorite food video creators are pretty much just great at telling a story and I like pretty much any content they put out. I like when you make content about almost anything that you find interesting.

As someone who got into fish keeping about a year before u started making videos on it I'm all for the build vid

I would watch the tank build even though I don’t currently have interest in creating one. I am here for the Adam show not just the food show. Personally I think this is how I learn about things I might not otherwise be exposed to. You do you Adam‼️

cooking and fishkeeping is my hobby I`ve picked up during lockdown... SO HELL YEAH I want to see that aquarium building video!

Add that build video. Not just that, but if you ever do an update on your garden, or just any other kind of craftiness I'd be interested.

I’d love to see the build video. I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m here for the way you explain things, not always the topics being discussed.

With the title, I was expecting Adam to figure out what kind of fish would be perfect to pair up with rice, however I am not disappointed with what I’ve watched at all.

I'd prefer the food content if the question is "Would you like the aquariam video instead of usual food content", if it's in addition to the usual content though, I'd love to see it! Sounds super interesting

Yes please release the aquarium build, the two of us seemed to get interested in that at the same time lol

I am all for someone confidently explaining something they are passionate about. So i love the aquarium arc just as much as the food stuff.

In Korea, mudfish and mud snails take the place of rice fish. They can live in murky, shallow, and muddy waters. And because Korea has colder northern winters rice paddies are drained and left empty regularly, they can be culled regularly when farmers fill or drain their paddies through mid-summer to late fall. Whatever kind of species people gather from it for more protein, farming on a rice paddy is aquaculture before it was cool.

That build video is definitely in the realm of Adam Ragusea, so yes we want to see it

im liking how your voice sounds with fish and aquaculture centered informational videos

Oh my god yes we’re finally getting Adam’s aquarium content!

I've been following you since 2007 or something when you made that radio pizza with the parmesan and mozz. I also happen to be an aquascaping enthusiast myself. DO IT.
