Thanks bringing it to you on a Sunday baby how's everybody doing I hope you're
doing well in today's video we're gonna talk about illegal plants and illegal
fish and invasive species here in the United States okay so your boy Dee talk
a two week vacation and I want to just break it down on a personal this was
something that was very difficult for me to do I've obviously got a lot going on
but before I was leaving for vacation I was trying to prepare and get stuff done
to get out of town and I came across a horrific realization and that is this in
the United States not like you wonderful Europeans in other parts of the world
you get two weeks out of a 52 week year if you do the math on that answer I'm
going to show you the math here you do the math you take two weeks off in a
year divided by 52 that is less than 4% a year you get to take off and do what
you love less than 4% a year I get to spend undivided time with my wonderful
beautiful wife and two young girls who aren't getting any younger that said it
was hard for me because I'm in the middle of constructing greenhouse 2.0 oh
by the way it was a vacation however I was on the phone hustling everything I
needed to hustle to make sure the ball was still rolling to get water to get
permits and all the other BS I got going on behind the scenes that you don't see
getting green house 2.0 off the ground people in life don't get what they won
because they don't know what they want so if I want a fat green house and I
want it done before I don't know September or October I got
a hustle autumn on vacation with that said I'm an Ohio boy I'm from up near
Lake Erie my dad and mom actually had a boat up at Bay Point and I spent my
childhood up on Lake Erie catching walleye catching perch so to be heading
north to the cooler weather was fantastic for me so while I was up there
we actually headed north to what I believe is called press key Isle
I'm not exactly sure how you pronounce this beautiful island that juts out into
Lake Erie because my mother-in-law talks like this and when she has to pronounce
things they come out a little funny at times don't tell her I said that
so as you well no I'm a lover of the Great Lakes
and Lake Erie I actually spent a good deal of time up on Lake Erie as a kid
catching and eating yellow perch while it was up there I got to check out both
Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and I actually saw a press key Isle which is a
super fat little island on Erie PA that juts out into Lake Erie and it had some
amazing jungle Val growing wild there while I wish I would have gotten a lady
on camera you should have seen my lucky self climbing down into the water going
into the water and this broad on a kayak goes can I help you with something like
what was I doing swimming out while she was in a kayak so in today's video I
want to talk about invasive species I wasn't supposed to be doing work while I
was on vacation but as we were traveling from Lake Ontario over to Lake Placid we
were told by multiple groups of people to check out a place called the wild it
happened to be coincidentally invasive species Awareness Week at the place
called the wild so while I was on vacation and not working I busted the
camera out to take some great footage for you all of this place look it was 22
bucks it was worth every penny and I learned quite a bit and I feel it's my
job as someone who brings tens of thousands of aquarium plants into the
United States and then does disperse them throughout the wonderful continent
that we live in I think it's my job to bring awareness of some of the stuff
that is going on with invasive species I'm going to talk today about some fish
and I'm also going to talk today about some invasive aquarium plants because
aquariums were listed in part of literature I was reading about how some
of these invasive species get into our waterways particularly in upstate New
York but all around the United States and while you might be thinking where's
this going what does this have to do with my aquarium let me explain you see
the more aware we are of what species can have a negative impact on the
environment around us the more responsible we are the less potential
government regulation eliminating what could be awesome species being brought
into our great aquarium hobby here's what I'm talking about how about fad
species of plants that are straight-up illegal in a bunch of states how about
fish that are illegal in a bunch of states I want to give a huge shout outs
to our friends at Segrest farms they are always battling for the aquarium hobby
and the ability to bring in cool stuff to keep them as pets
and before I get into my top five plants and fish that are illegal or invasive in
a number of the United States I would like your wonderful feedback in the
comments there's way too many fish coming in invasive into this country
maybe there's some fish in your country that illegal that shouldn't be maybe
there's some fish that are totally illegal and should be maybe there's a
plant that's illegal in your state you're not sure why I remember there's a
play that's taking over a pond in your specific area please drop me a comment
and your feedback on how this is affecting certain things in your
aquarium hobby so while I was up at the wild deer Lake Placid super-sweet place
worth every penny of the twenty-two bucks one of the plants that was on the
invasive species list was a plant that I sell in a plant that I love it's called
Kabam by Carol Indiana and I just happened to have a really dope specimen
of it right here and now this is what really got the wheels turning for me
because this is a plant that I sell so I'm not trying to like hurt the natural
environment however this plant was on one of the
invasive species lists in upstate New York so I want to make a note to all the
you hobbyists like look one of the things they say that the plants can get
into the natural waterways and mess things up is by people dumping their
aquariums into a natural body of water you're not doing anything any good in
fact there's a pond around town here that actually is chocked full of
goldfish that people have just let go luckily it's contained but ya never dump
your aquarium into a natural body of water and the reason for that is this
this plant might take over and choke out some other species and that other
species I'm super generalizing this here if anybody has more details on this
please drop me a comment on it but this species might overtake another species
and that species that it overtook might be feeding into other species a plan
above it and so on and so on screwing up the food chain or whatever
not to mention like clogging waterways reducing fish breeding there's there's
so many different ways invasive species can hurt so never ever ever dump your
live aquarium plants or fish into a body of water and with that little cabinet in
the bottle rant I want to talk about my top five illegal aquarium plants and
in the US my number five in my top five illegal aquarium plants or fish in the
US this is not the plant because I cannot get my hands on this plant I want
to talk about loot Elia Wolvie folia I believe is how it's pronounced
I was not one to pronounce stuff properly this is not the plan
this isn't applied to taunt ovation suis actually sell this as a bulb so if you
buy a bulb you'll get something sprouted that might look like this or smaller but
you're just paying for a ball but anyway it kind of resembles this plant that's
why I have this upon d'etat Novation's out because butte Elia over folio
believers has pronounced is a fast growing plant I cannot bring into the
country asked me how I know how this plant is illegal United States actually
tried to bring it in and I found out later that it was not allowed to come
into the country because of its invasive NATO actually had to pay to have that
plant destroyed I'm not bitter about it but it is a really fat plant it's got
this really fat leaves on it obviously somewhere someone has done something
with this plant and this plant has taken over a waterway or something and it's
caused it to go on USDA illegal species it bringing in to the United States so
that plant is not getting through the USDA but a supercool plant I wish I
could have what is illegal and invasive in the USA who tell ya Walter folia my
number five and my top five illegal aquarium plants illegal fish can't bring
into the u.s. I want to talk about the red Arowana I don't know much to say
about this other than why on earth can't you bring a red arowana in the United
States I'm confused as to why this isn't allowed to happen this fish clearly
cannot live in any of the waterways and survive the winter in my humble opinion
in Florida I don't know maybe I'm wrong perhaps arowana are all over the place
in South Florida but I doubt it there are a lot of mixed in speeding
South Florida I don't think Arowana they're one of them
somebody please drop me a comment on why that red arowana is not allowed in the
United States but we can still get the plain Silver's and the dirty knees and
that sort of thing so I would love your feedback on why the red erawan is legal
shoutouts to that big beautiful Canadian beefcake man Joey for keeping a bunch of
red Arowana I think they're fat I don't know why they're illegal in the US
please drop me a comment my number three in my top five aquarium
plants or fish that are illegal in the United States I want to talk about a
species of high grass look I'm gonna be a little arrogant here ain't nobody
bringing in better hike rifles than your boy Dustin on dustinsfishtanks.com
straight up you can click the links around here and check out a super-duper
species Sunday Josh and I did on all the different types of high grappler that we
carry and why they are what they are and what they do there is one species of my
graph Allah however that we cannot bring into the United States has a great name
it's called high groffle of poly sperma poly means many sperm amines I don't
know maybe it means many sperm i groffle of poly sperma is an incredibly fast
growing also known as sunset high grow we can't bring sunset high grow high
grappa low poly sperm into the United States
I'm sure it's being sold somewhere around the US but I can't bring it in
the closest thing that I have to high Groff Allah poly sperma is this this is
sack of folio I believe right here and it's a similar look to this the sunset
get some more pink hues to it so high groffle a poly sperm on my number three
high grumbles you're fast grown plants I talked about him another video this is
just three stems of a high droplet of formas that we're selling so superfast
growing so I grabbed a low poly sperma I understand why this plant is illegal in
the US I've had people on the wholesale side ask me if I can get it for him the
answer is heck no because I'm not allowed to bring it in and I'd get in
trouble but I groffle a poly sperma I understand why it's a fast grower it's
like Rafa obviously it's growing invasive
somewhere in the US my number two with my top five invasive or illegal fish or
plants to bring to the US I am talking about this snakeheads
oh there's such skanky fish got a wax poetic with you a little bit my mom was
down there the other day when I was a kid in my bathroom my bathroom as a kid
I had a 20 gallon long aquarium and in that 20 gallon long aquarium I went and
I purchased not one but two snakeheads those are you not familiar with what a
snakehead it's got a real long cylindrical body it's got an amazing
mouth on it it's a super darkening fast like attacking
attacks almost like a rainbow fish you've seen how fast a rainbow fish is
snake hit the tack like that only with a bigger mouth and they get huge okay
these fish apparently are BRE in the wild in the rivers of Maryland I
want to say the Chesapeake Bay Area drop me a comment if you got more knowledge
on this because you're from that area but this snakehead totally illegal
totally should be illegal I read an article about a chef who is actually
trying to make them part of like a menu item to feed them to people but
snakehead super aggressive breeding in the u.s. eating other species that
obviously is doing harm to so snakeheads my number two in my top five illegal
aquarium fish or plants in the u.s. in my number one aquarium plant or aquarium
fish in the u.s. is you pick there's so many of them I want to know your
comments on this fish is illegal why is this fish illegal why can't I bring into
the US or this fish is illegal it should be illegal and here's why I've seen you
do XY and Z or this plants taken over this lake near me or whatever so drop me
