Foo the Flowerhorn
Приєднався 18 гру 2015
I like flowerhorn fish. Most of my videos are about flowerhorn care. A lot of it can be applied to oscars and other carnivorous cichlids.
I also like nano planted tanks with organic soil as substrate.
I do some DIY stuff, too.
I also like betta fish.
Thanks for stopping by.

#8 Volcano Filter Tank - Shrimps Eating Cabbage for 3 Hours in 4K
The cabbage leaf was boiled for around 10 minutes.
More tank updates coming soon. I messed up the new setup. I'm in the process of fixing it. It's taking longer than expected. I've been thinking about getting Liv new friends, but if I get more ember tetras, I wouldn't be able to find her. I also thought about getting different kind of tetras, but sometimes different kinds of tetras fight. So, for now, she has shrimps to keep her company. Actually there were two tetras that had survived the crash from the original group for a very long time, but the last heatwave killed one of the tetras. Liv is around 4 years old now, I think. The tetras at one point bred in this tank a long time ago, but I think the adult tetras ate them all. I guess I should get more ember tetras for Liv? During resetting of this tank, one male Amano shrimp didn't make it. So there is only one male among all of the females.

#7 Volcano Filter Tank - Shrimp E Shrimp Feeding Frenzy (The Days After Second Reset)
Переглядів 66 тис.2 місяці тому
This video was meant to launch last month. There were a few unexpected hiccups. The tetra survived. Also, so many shrimps survived to my surprise. My video is not made in spite of someone nor anything else. It’s just a personal aquarium experience that I’m going through. Aquarium keeping is mostly educated speculation. You connect the dots based on your personal experiences. But sometimes, all ...

Hi, this is last update of this tank before resetting. I still have all my tanks. I'll get in the rhythm of making videos again. I also started new projects. I don’t know if you remember, but the bettas didn’t make it b/c they ate too much shrimp and it caused constipation. This was my poor judgement in fish selection. I’ll try to do better. Also, remember, there was toxic water crises that I w...
A Moss Terrarium Balancing on Its Edge (A Face in a Jar)
Переглядів 56 тис.5 місяців тому
The neodymium magnets keep the terrarium balanced on its edge. It is surprisingly stable. You can push it, but it just rocks back and forth and finds its equilibrium back. It doesn’t seem possible that a jar would balance on its edge like that, but as you can see, it’s true. The moss was acquired from near where I live. Most of the moss were growing on concrete. There are many different methods...

Переглядів 995 тис.Рік тому
This fish is called wild oscar cichlid, or Astronotus ocellatus wild. I’m not completely certain where she bumped her head. It might’ve been the driftwood, the duckbill nozzle, or maybe the aquarium lid. I decided to cut the driftwood b/c I’ve seen her get scratched by it. She is a typical oscar. She does once in a while do a lightning fast zoomies. That’s how she hurts herself. This happens mo...

This is the entire series in one video and the ending. I felt like I’ve reached the end of this tank’s journey. Moving twice in the last 2 years, and moving to a place with old pipes was too hard on this tank. I re-edited the entire series. I was just going to stitch the videos together, but I found a typo here and there. For example I said “it was like groundhug day” when I meant groundhog day...

This fish is called wild oscar cichlid, or Astronotus ocellatus wild. Yeah, so, it turns out, it’s a female. I’m 90% sure. You might be able to tell at 3:06. She only likes the zucchinis. She did nibble at other veggies, but she decided that they weren’t for her. She doesn’t eat the seeds. She spits them out. I boiled the veggies for around 10 minutes. Carrots, a lot longer until they were soft...

This fish is called wild oscar cichlid, or Astronotus ocellatus wild. The feeding occurred over the course of THREE days. I would never feed my oscar this much all at once. This wild oscar most likely came from a commercial breeder. Oscars aren’t endangered species, and some are probably caught from the wild. However, most oscars are easily bred in a tank. The new albino pleco was a risky move ...

The baby oscar developed the little circle spot near the tail fin. This is the usual oscar eye spot that is meant to confuse predators. It’s meant to sort of look like an eye in the tail. I suppose if a predator attacks the back fin thinking that’s the head, the oscar might have a chance to escape. I’m curious if the spot will turn red color in the future, like most other oscars. The gold nugge...

Then after a while, they started to live in the igloo together a lot of the time, but not always. I chose these guys b/c they are one of the very few a...

Similar to you, I had to cut out & reduce sugars in my life. I feel healthy and happy now. (Artificial sweeteners I have found to be 10x worse than sugar)
I'm glad you're posting again! <3 We miss the music though
4:06 I felt that "Hijo de... p"
The channel "tierra epica" is robbing you.
i actually love the idea of the sump inside the tank
Wassup with intro u illuminati right
There is such simple beauty and passion I find in your videos. Thank you for the amazing experiences ❤
My man, i miss your old videos with the nice music. I love you tho💚
Very cool little fish. I’m growing to like them more and more. Behaviors are interesting.
been a while, how's flowerhorn? wish to see more vids ❤
You sure that's only 5 gallons? It looks huge, at least 10.
Do you a long video time lapse??
I loved this series and am grateful you went through the effort and I'm sorry for the loss of your beloved nerite and gourami at the end, even if it has been quite some time now.. I don't know if you mentioned it elsewhere, but what were the fates of the other gourami you showed in this series?
Thank you for this video. It helps in so many ways
❤
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
These videos are very good, anyone can watch them without needing to speak English
i love absolutely love this.... Always watching ❤️❤️❤️
Nice to see a new vid from this channel. Hope there's gonna be a new Betta fishie coming soon too. That was my favourite content.
Luckily I stumbled upon your videos before buying them. It would be hell to suddenly hear them in the middle of the night
jesus.... i thought this would be such a nice sleep video.... maybe after i finish it a couple times it will be. but right now i cant look away half the time!! lol
I’m in awe of this video.
Great job
I binge on your videos whenever I can't sleep. I've been visiting your channel since last year to check if you uploaded new ones. Fast forward tonight. I can't sleep, I thought maybe I could use some Foo's old vids. And I was surprised I've seen new uploads. ❤❤❤
Yay! 🎉❤
This is my favorite video❤❤
Love your video!!!! From someone who cannot keep things alive it’s refreshing to see your videos ❤❤❤
❤such beautiful small world
❤
Yay thanks for posting ive missed this so much 😊❤
Acrylic can also discolour and go yellow over time. At least my Perspex windows in my shed did.
cute😊
2024 - came back because I suddenly miss these videos.
❤❤❤
5 years ago I decided I wanted to have shrimp, people laughed at me for having shrimp and I stumbled upon your channel, I felt like I didn't feel like a fool caring for shrimp. Thank you for coming back and posting.
Does anyone know what tune is playing at the end of the video?
Watching your videos again after 2 years of me resting from videos too, and just now I watched one where at the end you wrote "you deserve to be happy" (I've had a terrible day, quit my job due to pressure, having issues because of it) and it made me feel so comforted. It's been so long since i found your channel, you made me love & kind of understand these little shrimp fellas so much. Thank u for uploading anytime you can ♥
I have watched this again and again years back, this became my therapy video for stress or sickness. Then the channel shut off, then I'm happy it's back. And now I'm back again here watching these cute critters as therapy. Thank you! ❤
Dang!!! Are those ifusorians swimming around the tank?
I have followed you for approximately 5 - 4 years, from many UA-cam profiles that for some reason I end up losing but always I return looking for Foo. I'm glad to know that you're feeling better, we're looking forward to following you in your new projects, I can't wait any longer! ❤
I’m so so sorry to see this. Your videos got me through the worst period of my life and I was devastated to hear this x
Aren't mahachai bettas endangered? In Thailand?
Bro please tell me your tank size❤
Bro please tell me your tank size❤

Do you have a course or something? I would like to apply.
