Saltwater tank feeding. eels, puffer, trigger, tang, clownfish.

[hismaker1]

hey thinking about getting a few but what are the prices im just starting though could u give me some tips and prices for the fish? thanks love the video

[tourettesguy420]

if u were to move to a different house how are u supposed to bring the tank cuz im 15 years old n thinking about buying a tank but when i move out i dontt know how to bring it

[earthling1984]

@tourettesguy420 It would be a task that is for sure. I would probably either bag up all the fish, or put them all in sealed tupperware containers(fish can live a couple days in bags/containers - just try to keep their temperature good). Then get the tank setup as fast as possible. The problem would be, the new tank wouldn't have time to 'cycle', but my sump tank I could leave setup and water in it, so it would help cycle the tank fast.

@earthling1984 keep much things as you can with biological bacteria(filters,live rock) dont clean anything or buy new stuff. just set it up right away with all the same product. Get a lot of established ceramic rings for your filter, and dose the tank with Cycle right away. You will be fine

[varmman]

What was that? (food)

[earthling1984]

@varmman silverside frozen fish

[suscribe4more]

get a background :)

[zsb5]

yeah dude you kinda did over feed them, i mean if they eat it all thats one thing but that still wouldnt be good for them.

[EvOmidget147]

Does your trigger nip at the coral? Please respond

[thelittlebsl]

@EvOmidget147 There is no coral. 

[Frankie91493]

what size is the tank? very cool regardless

[bluelinebill1]

thats way too much food and this aint no predator tank

[earthling1984]

@bluelinebill1 yeah... eels, puffers, triggers... not predators... ok...

[bluelinebill1]

@earthling1984 the trigger fair enough but the eels are toooo small to ever be preds and puffers are the worest pred off all time

[bluelinebill1]

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

@earthling1984 lol

[insanebeastleon]

cool

[alecshallperish]

what do you feed them? freeze dried krill?

[earthling1984]

@alecshallperish I feed them krill yes, and shrimp, and fish food.

[ryjack26]

heyy, (i know this is reallllyyy old) but that was a lot of food, what is the name of that somg?

[earthling1984]

@ryjack26 agreed, was a little too much, but the eel does come and eat at least 3 to 5 of those frozen fish. I am unsure of the song name, pretty sure it was an audio swap song, I forget which one.

[TheMF299]

nice eels!!!

[earthling1984]

@TheMF299 Thanks!

[Jeal918]

Love your videos! some people r mean! And do u have any on birds?

[earthling1984]

@Jeal918 Thanks. I have two birds. A parrotlet and a cockatiel.

[tribezarzar123]

@earthling1984

you fail at taking care of fish 

[earthling1984]

@tribezarzar123 no... not at all... thanks for your comment.

[RobnGem2010]

Your tank is the worst ...all of those fish will outgrow that small tank very quickly especially if you continue to feed them the huge quantities of food like in this video. The aquascaping is terrible...you're a cock

[DavidS310]

can they all live in there for life?

[earthling1984]

@DavidS310 no, once they get larger they need to be moved(some of them). I have changed around this tank since I made this video.

[DOX9500]

your eel is absolutely gorgeous! ^_^

[earthling1984]

Thanks :)

[MrTomster93]

what size tank is that? how big do them eels get?

[earthling1984]

tank is a 55 gallon. The eels I have only get about 3 feet maximum.

[MrTomster93]

do you think that eel could live in a 45 gallon tank?

what kind of eel is that?

[earthling1984]

probably, with no other fish a 45 would be ok. Black one is a snowflake eel(not to be confused with the saltwater snowflake eel that looks much different). This eel is actually the 'freshwater' snowflake eel. Although called freshwater eels sometimes, they are not, they need brackish or saltwater. They can live in fresh as babies, but die in fresh as they age. The white eel is a ghost eel.

[MrTomster93]

so how come yopu didn't just go with the snowflake eel, they have beautuiful patterns?

[earthling1984]

I've had those as well :)

[BiiGPAPASMURF]

WHat are you feeding them?

[earthling1984]

silverside fish

[boodyzozo]

nice eel

[dragownz]

i actually fixed it i set up a fish tank yearly it was actually waste from the gravel and the water was cloudy from that but what kill the fish was probably the water temp being 37c which is insane

[dragownz]

i dont know if you have fish tanks anymore but my 100 gallon tank i just put some fish in there cichlids and others some reason after i put them in the water is alot cloudyer now is there a reason plus 2 fish died brown knife fish and cory cat fish only thing left is cichlids and plecos.

thanks man.

[earthling1984]

cichlids are usually aggressive fish and probably stressed and caused your other fish to die. As for the water being cloudy, that has to be because your filter isn't doing a good job. You fish also may have died from poor water conditions. Do you test your water with test strips or liquid test kit?

[rkn4x4]

your tank looks really good. i currently have a 55 gal cycling and was wanting a yellow tang, humu trigger, and a clown fish. does your trigger not ever bother the clown or the hermit crab? also i have a spotted puffer in a 30 gal freshwater but would like to convert it and have no clue how?

thank you

[earthling1984]

No he doesn't bother them because they are large enough. The clown is just as large as him. Triggers will become aggressive towards smaller fish, so if the trigger outgrows the clown by much I'll have to move the clown. The crab is ok because he is HUGE. A small hermit crab would most likely be eaten by either the trigger or eels. You can convert the spotted puffer. Put him in a tank by himself with filter/heater(all setup), even a small 5 or 10 gallon. Raise salt level over 1 month time.

[rkn4x4]

ok.

what is your salinity level? does it have to be kind of low for the puffer?

[earthling1984]

for a saltwater tank WITHOUT corals, just with fish, you can have a lower salt level. My tank is about 1.017. As for the puffer, no it doesn't have to be low. They are saltwater fish... They simply are born in freshwater, but over the course of their life, should be moved to saltwater.

[dvdneudecker]

did you put all that in frozen?? you should try to thaw them in a glass of warm water first, only takes about a minute

[earthling1984]

frozen is just fine

[xmetrostationgurlx]

what kind of food were u feeding them??

[earthling1984]

Frozen silverside fish.

[dragownz]

i subscribe because i like fish o.o try to do a underwater camera that would be awesome and inteanse but dont kill fish if your going to attempt! MAKE MORE FISH VIDEOS!

[Luke0zz]

HOw many gallons?
