No, man...... Dave's not here
A classic! Had it on vinyl :-)
i wonder why he liked the cigarette butt so much lol
I think it was more like he didn't see a reason no move it. :-)
Sometimes when I watch your freshwater turtle video, I listen to Menuet III with it. 😁🐢
I have no idea how that song goes. Is that the Backstreet Boys? 😁😁😁
@@TheDave333 No, sir. It's just classical music.
I know I was kidding. :-)
8:53 That's funny!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁
Everytime I watch one of Dave's videos, I start thinking, "I wonder if I could breed that to make money?!" 😭
I'm happy to inspire your prosperity. 😁
My favorite video about amano shrimps on youtube so far! I have different amanos in my aquarium (amano, amano snow & amano orange) and i love them... fascinating little creatures.❤
Awesome, thank you! Shrimp are fascinating in so many ways. Incredibly complex little creatures. 🦐🦐🦐
The RCMP Musical Ride consists of 32 constables and their horses plus the member in charge. They perform calvary drills to varities of music. They perform throughout Canada and abroad to promote the RCMP.
That must be quite an impressive display! With everyone perfectly dressed, and moving in precision to the music. And horses are amazingly powerful creatures. Sounds like a good time!
What do you call a fleet of invertabrates? An armadapod. Get it?
That joke has no legs. . . I guess it can't be part of the armada.
fixn go right to sleep
sweet dreams people fish
The sargemouth ordered the private first bass to do 45 pushups. Get it?
I know the sargemouth he played bass, and we went to different schools together.
Why do you love guppies more than chain pickerel?
More variety in colors, and easier to keep and breed in a tank.
Unfortunately, the southern accent you're speaking with is becoming rare these days.
Is it? I had no idea.
Your channel is national geographic quality. Like the DVDs they used to sell at Cabelas like "EVERYTHING ABOUT BASS"
Thank you so much. <•))))~{
These fish are important to you, and care about them so much.
All life should be important to all living things. We need each other.
Do you still have them?
Possibly a few in a big tank hiding. I don't see them often.
More authentic than golden wonder ones. Huh, Dave?
I love them all.
I have one female in my 20g tank with one cute honey gourami and 7 playful panda guppies and seiryu stones with plenty of caves and hidden spaces and she already has picked a cave on a slopery part as her house and eats guppies food on the bottom
That's awesome. I'm glad she's settled in and found a house. That's so important. They're such cool little fish. Best of luck. <•))))~{
i suggest wearing one of those overall water things
A wet suit? They still find a way in. No worries, I do what needs to be done. I can usually avoid them, but thanks for the suggestion. <•))))~{
Watching this video again since guppy is having baby's again 😄
Awesome! That's one of the many great things about guppies, they're always having babies. <•))))~{
love bluegill. good fish
They really are. . . Thanks for watching. <•))))~{
As a sport fisherman when I watch something like this it makes me contemplate about what I'm doing, hurting these amazing fish for my enjoyment.
With proper care, fish can be caught and released without harming them. A lot of it comes down to how you set the hook / or how the fish is hooked. I do understand where you're coming from though. I question it myself, but that just makes us good people. Barbless hooks might be an option.
I really enjoy this channel. Learning much.
Thank you so much. <•))))~{
This is like cat videos for anglers. LOL. Thanks for your awesome visuals and commentary!
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to leave a comment. <•))))~{
Thats a spotted bass
There are no spotted bass where I live.
It was no fun being separated from Amanda last year. Right, Dave?
No, sir it was not. I missed the lake last year.
Coolest vid I've seen in a good while, GG
Thank you!
why does my female guppy swimm away when the male guppies try to impregnant it?
Because she's already pregnant. . . The males constantly harass the females. 2-3 males for each female is less stressful for the ladies.
How many bullhead should I stock to a 20 by 15 foot pond?
My guess would be three or four, they'll make more.
@@TheDave333 thanks
have you breed assasin snails? and could they eat apple snails?
They don’t go after snails larger than themselves but they will gang up on bigger snails and work together to kill one I haven’t heard of breeding but I think they have larve or smt and the larve eat detritus or smt idk
LOVE this vid
Thanks you. I LOVE that you watched my video and even took the time to leave a comment.
Nice footage, info and narration! A big thank you from Brazil!
Hello friends in Brazil! Thank you so much for watching the video. <•))))~{
I am curious how you were able to catch all this superb footage considering they are looking straight at you in such cave setup. My L144s are very shy and will immediatly go into hidding once anyone approaches the tank. Are they uninhibited once entering their caves?
Thanks for watching the video. I guess the simple answer is they've gotten used to me and are not so shy anymore.
Fishonmc players at the pond be like:
Minecraft rules. . .
my guppy gave birth 19 days ago and now she's pregnant again, I'm preparing for another birth and setting up my 2nd tank rn I only have a ten gallon with 8 guppies
Congratulations on the baby guppies! They'll keep making more, so it's best to plan ahead. Keep that water clean, and be careful not to overfeed. Have you seen this video? It might help. ua-cam.com/video/85UwSncEkT4/v-deo.html
Do pike and walleye and smallmouth next
As soon as I get enough footage I will!
Bass Lives Matter
They certainly do! <•))))~{
Which fish do you love more. Guppies or chain pickerel?
That's like asking which of my children do I love more. . . If forced to answer, I'll have to pick the guppies.
I can't enough of this one. 😁
<•))))~{ YAY !
Excellent content!
Thank you so much! 😁
I love Pumpkinseed sunfish, they're so common yet so vibrant.
They really are great little fish and they're so underappreciated.
These little guys got heart. I’ve caught plenty of BGs while fishing for Bass n Northerns with lure as big as them.
They are feisty little fish! I love how brave they are.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the eggs are poisonous to predators.
The eggs are laid above water and they get very hard shortly after they've been in the air for a while, so not much messes with them. I've seen fish picking at them too, so I'm not sure if they're [poisonous or not. Anything is possible.
Apples are my favorite fruit. I love 'em. 😋❤🍎🍏
I love apples too! I try to go apple picking with my family every fall. Do they have apple orchards in Virginia? Have you ever had the apple variety called Honey Crisp? Those and Red Delicious are my favorites. ❤🍎🍏
@@TheDave333 Yes, I have. And there are apple orchards in Virginia.
I figured there were, but I wasn't sure. Hey Chi Guess what? Today is my birthday!
@@TheDave333 Happy Birthday, Dave!
Thank Chi.
What do you call an invertebrate that runs long distances? A marapod. Get it?
Yes, silly invertebrates. . . why are they running? Do you have a favorite invertebrate?
@@TheDave333 I like the northern prawn and the American lobster.
Nudibranchs are really cool little creatures.... And I love cuttlefish! 😁
What do you call a group of invertebrates traveling together? A carapod. Get it?
Like a carapace... yes I get it. Ha Ha
We thought they were fighting 😂 then I said errr maybe they are doing other stuffs and my teenager said, 'oh, shrimpercourse'
lol Shrimpercourse funny stuff... 🦐🦐🦐
Hehe I have similar hybrids too. I love the rainbow iridescent with tails that have a thin streak of colour on top and bottom edge while the rest being translucent. Watching how guppy generations develop different colours and patterns feels so satisfying. It’s interesting how colours can blend too - eg my orangey red guppies mixed with blue ones and I now get a mix of orange, red, blue and even purple!
I agree! I love all of the different combinations that you can get in the hybrids. Each one is unique, it's great!
I’m a sucker for my guppies’ begging behaviour. 🥺
We all are, they have us trained! 🐠🦈🐟
That’s so cool.
Thanks it was lots of fun! <•))))~{
Great info, thanks!
You're very welcome, thanks for watching my videos and taking the time to leave comments. I really appreciate it. 😁😁😁
