Hi everyone! My name is Austin and this is Fintastic Freaks. From tours of my fish room, fish profiles, fish store visits, and more, this channel is meant to entertain and perhaps educate other fellow fishkeeping enthusiasts such as yourself. I've been keeping freshwater fish for over 15 years and in my videos I look to share my passion for this hobby with you in fun and hopefully entertaining ways.
Though I like to think of myself as a somewhat experienced fish keeper, the main thing I hope that you, the viewer see is that like other fish hobbyists I'm just a guy who is passionate for my hobby and like others in this hobby, I too can always learn something new. From some of the common and well know fish, to some of the more rare fish, or somewhere in the middle I look to give an equal amount of content that's relatable to other aquarium hobbyists, from some veterans and experienced keepers to the brand new beginners.
Thanks for visiting my channel! Stay Fintastic!

Lovely tank ❤
I've been past this little store quite a lot, but I've never been inside. Didn't expect such a variety of fish for such a small town! Hope you liked Eldora!
Hi can you help me, what are the skin tags that are on the face above the mouth and under the eyes? I have this fish and mine is 6 months old and only has them on one side. Do you know what the purpose of these are?
have you breed any of your bucktooth tetra
Where you at buddy?
Has anyone successfullu bred thesev
Helllooo 😂😂😂😂
I like your vids and get lots of good info for them. Would only 3 angels work in a 45 gallon rectangle column tank. I am picking one up and would like some stocking ideas. Think it's 12x18 floor and 30 high. Seeing your 55 hexagon made me want a similar style column tank
Can you do more videos on just fahakka please. I’m setting a tank up for it. Thanks :)
Hi can you help me, I have a fahaka and since baby, now 6 month old I've noticed he only has one skin tag under the eyes where yours has 2. What are these for and what are they called? Thanks
Can they glow in the dark?
@7csyafiqaradhiyyasukmana84 Sadly, they dont glow. But they glisten in the light beautifully.
@FintasticFreaks Oh no! I remember my childhood to have a neon fish. They glow in the dark!
Do you still have Amazonian pufferfish? If so, what are their parameters and have you used any medication on them?
Did you ever have to trim their teeth?
Hi there. Unfortunately my little green spotted puffer died and I pulled him out with my hand without thinking. Immediately washed my hands, but wondering if I should be worried about being poisoned. Any advice
@ethanholmes3998 You'll be okay. Their toxins are usually only a problem when injested, but my hands have brushed against various puffers before while doing tank maintenance.
@@FintasticFreaks thanks man. I figured it wasn’t something to be concerned overly concerned by but figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask someone with more experience with them. Appreciate it!!
I'm about to set up a pea puffer tank I currently have a 140g and 150g reef tanks but I seen these little guys and fell in love
I'm watching all your vids. Just subscribed!
Which food do you feed them
What kind of sand
😁
Have you kept any other fish with them before? I have one with a plex in an 80 litre tank but she doesn't come out very often at all
That's so perfect 😂😂 💯💯🥰🥰🤣🤣
How often do you feed them snails?
I went brackish with my Fluval shaker 252 & used to add 5 level desert spoons of API aquarium crystals into a cup with some hot water to dissolve the crystals then add it to the fresh water before streaming it in & my water qualities always measured having 5% of salt classing it brackish & a brilliant healer on wounds. I kept Angels, Cory's, Gobies, Hillstream loach & kuhli loach in my tank & never no problems & doing two water changed weekly & adding the same amount of salt back each time with declorinator treatment.
Man I love this tank !
I just put three in my tank. And they’re going to town eating all my other fish. Not what I was expecting
Thank you for being realistic on tank size. Of course bigger is better but there are a lot of gatekeepers in the hobby who will call you a monster for not having like 1000 gallons per puffer 😅 ok I exaggerate but we all know what I mean! I'm debating on what puffer species to get for a new 40g breeder in the near future.
I want to get a large tank soon, because of course i do, but mostly for my little pleco friends. My main problem is im super limited in space so my only options would be one big tank, or a tall tank which theyve veen growing on me lately. I want to make a 3d background with slate so theres tons of extra "ground space" for my plecos, and caves as well. Ive done a smaller version in the past and my bristlenose would always love to wedge themselves into the rocks, and slate is a perfect surface for carpet algae which looks amazing when grown in. Im just struggling to find a centerpiece fish to go along with that wouldnt pester or be bothered by my plecos, or be cramped in because of the weird dimensions. I also have this weird plague where guppies just keep showing up in new tanks in my room so im sure id have a big group in my tall pleco tank top LOL
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 my fahaka PuG just died out of nowhere in one day , wtf man , RIP PUG!!!!!! 😢 I just buried him
Trivia: This was the fish tank that was featured in the 1990 Total Recall film.
I’m so sorry for your loss it’s hard fish are family at least she knows she is loved and had her last moments knowing she was not alone and was deeply cared for
I hope mine eats out of my and eventually, luckily my ghost knife eats plenty haha he is a pretty quick and voracious eater.
Red tail doesn't mess w the Oscars?
So much color! Beautiful! ❤
Oh no😢 I'm so sorry man. Finely was so awesome. I definitely vote for finishing the plywood tank, too, it may even help you feel better if you did.
Thank you! I decided to start my hexagon back up. I was just going to do all plants but i think I'd miss fish in there.
So sorry...brother
Recently acquired a very young one. Hoping it does well. I have bloodworms, mysis shrimp, and beef heart on hand. Do they seem to prefer one over the other?
Blood worms and Mysis shrimp have tended to be a favorite to them and any othe knife fish I've kept. Broken up krill is another that they sometimes like.
Awe Austin. You can't blame yourself. Sometimes these things are out of our hands. And no matter what we do, we cannot save the ones we love. And of course Finley is a hard loss to take. She's your favorite. She's definitely the mascot of your fish room. At least that's how I looked at her. Big, beautiful, mascot FINLEY. And we ALL know that puffers are your favorite kind of fish. Lol. 110°???? Holy Moly, Austin, where do you live that gets that hot🫠? What does your heat index get up to 125° ?
Im so sorry to hear about her. I've had an MBU puffer, and when she passed, i lost it. As you mentioned, i also had her in a 29 gal at first. Its okay your not alone.
😢
Ugh, so sorry to hear about Finley, Austin. 😢 I don't even know what else to say, it just sucks when this happens.
Sorry man, it sucks. I have a 6 yr old acara that’s not doing well. I’m doing everything I can think of .. 😫
Sorry for your loss my deepest condolences
I'm sorry for your loss, I loved Finley as well. Love you, brotha, hang in there. You did everything you could.
Death sucks. There's no way to sugar coat it. There's no way to rush yourself through the process of grief. All I can tell you is that you need to keep pushing through it and push through it again. The sense of loss and grief are normal, and while you'll likely never "get over it". There are no magic words to make it all better. You just gotta push through it. Don't let it crush you. I've lost a fish that meant the world to me. I've lost cats and dogs that I've loved like family. I've lost my mom. I've lost my son. They all hit me differently. They all tried to drag me down. I didn't let it beat me down, and neither should you, my friend. Embrace your love for Fun and celebrate her. Stay strong.
I appreciate you. Thank you for your words. I've had a Fire eel, a mbu puffer, and many other fish. I've been in his position. I've cried thinking something, anything was my fault. Sometimes it's just something you can't see at all.
It's hard when special pets pass on. You have a great heart.
So sorry for you both, it sucks
How many fahaka can u put in a 125 gal
Would you sell the babies?
I’m picking up my 1 inch fahaka baby on Friday!
