    Wow....That is...the most....detailed, comprehensive, and helpful fish video we have seen in a very long time!We LOVE freshwater fish, and have lots and lots and LOTS at home.We were wondering if you could do a video on Apple Snails?If you haven't heard of them, they are these cute snails that live underwater, and make great additions to freshwater & saltwater aquariums.Even though we have lots of experience, and actually hand breed them, the video on them would be nice!(P.S., we have no idea why our text just went italic)

    Question : I noticed you took water from the tank to acclimate the fish. my question is...how do you replenish the small amount of water you took out of the tank? would you just add water with ratio of conditioner back in or just wait a few days before adding more water back in?

    what brand of water conditioners and bacterial supplement do you recommend most for people who are beginners in taking care of fish? I'm going to buy everything with my own money but I still want to do lots of research before I do anything that could possibly be harmful. Very helpful videos btw.

  • @JeffreySutton
    @JeffreySutton 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey thanks for your video! Just wanted to doublecheck to see if I did everything correctly. Last night I added 2 very small guppies and 1 swordtail to our 10 gallon tank which already had 3 guppies, 1 Molly and one Platy. I let their bags float in the aquarium for 20 minutes. I then added a little bit of water in each bag every 10 minutes. In fact I had to dump a little water out of the bags so I was able to put more water in. (Next time I will use a small container like you demonstrated).
    Anyway the two guppies are doing very well but we lost the high fin swordtail today at about 12 noon. I noticed he seemed to be pretty stressed out and was breathing quickly but thought that he would adjust and push through it... we also noticed that one of our small guppies kept pestering him. He was very active in the aquarium store. Do you think I acclamated him too quickly? Was he too stressed by all the other fish? We have all males in our aquarium? What do you think I did incorrectly?
    Thank you in advance!

      @insanely_little1591 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Dont add fish whilst cycling your tank. Maybe a platy... the point of the cycling process is that it will build up the bacteria that tge fish require. Adding a platy might speed up the process but I'd still wait the 2-4 weeks. Also they should all fit, 4 guppies, 3 of them female and 1 male. Uou could add in 2 more female guppies and get another male. Maximum amount of guppies id recommend for a 10 gallon is 12-15.

      @fishmansf4 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      sumit Biswas I would recommend under gravel filters.

    • @ReMz10184
      @ReMz10184 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Anything Fluval is awesome. Canister filters are the best. Hang on the back is good for budget and space. Sponge filters are good if you will have really small fish or fry in the tank. Under gravel filters are kind of a dying thing, but they do work really well if you aren't going to plant the tank and have fish that dont dig.
      A "power head" is just a pump. What you pair it with is up to you. Usually under gravel or sponge. Sometimes you just use power heads to get water agitation.

    So, I'm thinking of restarting my completely failed goldfish tank with some tetras and maybe shrimp. If I do the bag floating temp technique does it work well to poke a hole in the bag after a while with a needle so water from the tank slowly works into the bag and to the fish?

I then went out and bough a 36 gallon tank. I want to put the fish in ASAP because the betta is on a bowl and the tank they are in is pretty small for them. How should I add them into my new tank the fastest? Thanks and great vids

      If you still have this problem its propably bacterial bloom. Put an air pump or turn the filters output to make waving on surface and disolve more oxygen. I had the same problem and I used the filter method to solve it, in my case it was from medicines. Also keep the weekly changes 25-30% dont redoing the cleaning, you kill the beneficial bacteria and thats why your water gets cloudy.

      this is a test to see how long can my name go LMAO you def need a filter. however, you can go by the gallon per inch for the fish you purchase. so for example: 4inch fish = 4 gallons at LEAST you shouldn’t overcrowd though. you should make sure you have a filter, a heater, etc or you would be a unsuitable fish owner and possibly kill your fish. good luck!!!

    I really like this video I watched a lot of these videos were people go out and collect their own things from other from the woods and stuff and do it that way and build their tank and I don't think they're doing that I think they're going to the pet store to actually doing that because I tried that and why didn't write in my fish tank I tried it in this other thing I got this deal and I got rid of that stuff real quick I like the way you put them in another deal and you showed people how to transfer fish to your aquarium from the fish market or the pet store which is really cool I didn't know how to really do all that and I'm going to buy me a tank tomorrow I'm just wondering what can I do with the fish that I have if I don't want to keep the fish that I have because I think the fish that I have it's going it's going to get really big and I want something that's going to fit the fish tank that I want to buy which is hida probably a 5 gallon or 10 gallon I'm thinking about getting a 10 gallon tank but I don't want a glass one cuz the last one cracked on me from the bar down stairs they play their music loud

      I prefer gravel because it gets good bacteria to grow and I don't mind vacuuming it every month. But some people like the ease of bare bottom tanks. Also some fish like digging and burrowing in sand/gravel. The fish you have are ok to not have gravel. Toy might even do better because goldfish are so dirty it would be easier cleanup.

      The Beast how long have u cycled it?
      And how many depends on what fish.
      U could have 20 neons or other schooling fish.
      5-6 corydoras or other bottom dwellers.
      1 or two centerpeace fish like gourami or a dwarf Cichlid.
