I was pleasantly surprised. I appreciate a small intro
Yep! Usually the first 5-10 minutes of TH-cam videos are , hit the like button, subscribe, promote upcoming videos, etc, etc. This was definitely a nice change of pace.
Never let the person who says "aw, they look hungry" tend your fish when you're away.
Thats my mom right there last time i let her feed my fish she put so much food my fish’s stomachs were bulging and had an ammonia spike and killed about 100$ worth of cherry shrimp
13th死神 she doesnt understand fush get used to you so they come to the top of the tank when your around and she thinks their hungry because there swimming around
@@Fish-br6rm happened to me as well and fishie died from eating to much as a beta they don’t know when to stop
That "Whoa! Oh no!" moment at 0:17 made me laugh much harder than it should have.
I went to the fish store with a plan yesterday, just to buy food. Still came home with a green spotted puffer.
Yeah I never just get food at my LFS
Well, you can always say that you bought puffer as food for yourself.
Never overfilled a tank, but forgot I was filling up the bathtub to soak some driftwood once. With a predictable outcome. 😩
Doesn’t your bath have an overflow outlet?
"Never go to a fish store without a plan" - Best advice 2020 has gave me
Misleading title; rather than '7 things you never do as a fishkeeper' it should be, '7 things you should not do as a fishkeeper - but every fish keeper has done most of these several times'.
lol I was thinking the exact same thing. Great video. Have been keeping tanks forever - currently have 8 active tanks. I know I shouldn't do any of these things but sometimes I still do. I would add - don't put a tank near a natural light source ie, a window. It looks great but never ends well.
I was doing a water change yesterday and walked away, I heard “splash” 😂😂😂 it’s not water change day unless I flood my room.
Same and I don’t have a clip for my syphon so when I’m filling my tank it sometimes falls out and then my room gets flooded for a hot second 😂😂😂
Omg yesss!! This exact same thing happened to me! 😂😂
yesterday I was doing water change and I said ''Imagine if the bucket would fells down'' and 2 seconds later it actually fallen down and flooded my room
Thanks for getting straight to the point. I wish more youtubers did this. It makes me actually want to finish the video
thanks for the tip @1:00, i've been doing my water changes but i always wondered that; if refilling the tank is enough.
Subscribed right away, love how u get straight to the point. Keep up the good vids! (:
Very interesting video, Thx 👍.
Wow.. I did not know how much I actually needed to know all of this.. thank you 🙏🏿
Years ago, I did the super-clean aka the beneficial bacteria remover as part of every water change.
great video, good reminders that we all need to hear!
I didn't forget about the water change, I forgot to clamp down the hose. Basically water changed the floor instead of the tank.
oh no I've never forgotten two times that I'm doing a water change
Very good list, especially not going to fish store without a plan.
Great video!😎
Great tips!
Some great advice 🤝
Hi Mike. I love your tanks and wonder if you ever did a moss wall. I have a 75 gallon tank and wanted to create one for my tank. I did had moss before java and xmas moss but bad experience they are very messy and does clog my filter . Do you have any advice for me which is the best moss for my tank wall? And what I should use for my moss? Many people does recommend filter sponge 🤔 other nets 🤔. A bit confused maybe you have any advice for me. Thank you 🙂
So would you suggest using RODI water when attempting to do a no filter, no water change tank; to reduce the chance of heavy particulate buildup?
Question: Do you still add water straight from the tap to tanks with livestock, adding the dechlorinator to the tank itself?
I am an impulsive cory catfish buyer. I didn't plan on buying anything. I seen 3 different tanks at the end. All 3 had one of some kind of cory catfish in it. With me knowing the stress and sickness they can have when they are alone, I bought all 3 and took them home. They are happy and active now. The catfish I bought are a light caramel brown on top, white on the bottom, and they have a light black stripe down each side. The pet store didn't know what kind they are and I didn't have any luck on Google either. If anyone knows what they might be please let me know.
I just picked up some ember tetras and decided to quarantine them before adding them to my tank. Two days later it turns out they have ick! I’m now treating them and they are looking good! Happy I caught it and could treat them and not infect my established tank(:
What a great video!
The "just paid off the credit card and going to the fish store" tip hit me right in the soul!🤣 great advice in the video, thanks for posting!
Great video! How long should I quarantine fish.
Do another one! What do u think about the people that just not do water changes, i did it for probably 1 year with no problem just topping off. I recently started trying my best to do it every week, but sometimes it ends up being biweekly...
Had this happened to anyone else, that some things you do with your aquarium that is wrong but you don't know it when you do it and some thing bad happens, but you will see a video few days after about it that you should never do it. That is happening again to me. The first tip "you should never forget that you are doing a water change". I forgot that I was doing a water change and all my aquarium wire was plugged underneath my tank and my circuit breaker triped thankfully nothing tooooo bad happened and I learned my lesson. If only i could have gotten this video two, three days earlier I might have prevented it.😓😑😁
Love your vids
Do things like use RODI water for top ups when I'm too busy with other things for water changes but in general agreement. Have to keep being reminded. Even after fish keeping on and off for 60 years, I still have occasional snail outbreaks and angels with mouth fungus.
Hey! Im pretty new in aquarium bussines, when i have a new aquarium, i used an older aquarium water, is it safe? Thanks, please answer🤗
Most of the beneficial bacteria are located in the filter and substrate... so just the tank water wont do it sry.
@@luzifersohn5010 Thanks bro! Really helpful
I may be guilty on the first one but when it was draining the heater was dry and when.I filled it up the heater glass cracked
I'm guilty of impulse buying, but I'm able to do so pretty responsibly.
I picked up a 200l tank for free on monday. It was the most disgusting tank I had ever seen, but after a few hours of intensive cleaning it is almost like new. And the poor fish that I rescued from that murky tank look happy to be able to finally see where they go again.
Hey i have 1 question related to planted tank. For the lighting, do they need to be open 24 hours or not? the light should be open at night only or need to be close at night and open at day?
Do they have 24 hours of light in nature? Think about those things regarding to fishkeeping and keeping healthy plants
@@BuurmanHans i know what u mean but at day its very dim light because nobody at home. Night is the only time when i can monitor the tank and gv them 8hours light while sleeping. Im scared if i dont open the led at night. The plant might not have enough light for the photosynthesis. How?
His reaction when he came back to the perfectly fine water change tank. Lol
HELP:
My 2 week old betta tank smells like coffee and all of the plants are dying.. Theres no fertilisers... Theres only one betta and two of the nerites died due to heater overheated..After that i do tons of waterchange and it still smells like coffee..But its actually a nice smell sometimes..ANYWAYS! The plant is dying and i think its because i opened the light too long! What should i do
Sometimes I watch your videos when I’m doing my water changes :)
Adding new fish is a mistake I always do . End up killing all my fishes. Sadly over time I stopped doing it .
You mean fortunately.
I made the mistake once... I lost my entire school of lemon tetras within 7 days. Will never do it again. It was devastating.
I have bought used tank. I fill them outside on the driveway were I can watch for leaks before filling them up inside... If I see a leak when it's on the driveway I'll buy aquarium sealerent and redo all the seals.
100% Valid Concern's
ive flooded while sitting there in front of my tank all spaced out 🤤
💯💯💯🤠
@@AQUAPROS Im guilty of number 5. Easy solution... i got rid of the door :)
AQUAPROS, what soil are you using for your planted tanks now. I can't find the Organics vigoro soil you used in a previous video, and miracle-gro organics choice is nowhere on this planet. I'm finding good soil recommendations that are still sold almost NOWHERE! If you could recommend my organic soil that is still actually sold you would literally be the best thing that happened to me all week!
Have had my established tank for over a year and put 3 new fish and a new big lava rock cave in and it almost completely ruined my tank my water peramiters went crazy and it’s taken me 2 weeks to get it almost back to where it should be
Great vid. Just today I was filling up the tank during the water change and my younger one wanted breakfast!!! Poor kid had to wait 15 mins for me.
No worry, you made the right choice! You can make another kid... but a nice looking AQ is for live ^^
@@luzifersohn5010 "Make another kid" No way!!! Make another 10 tanks, that's a possibility. Haha
Paul Cuffaro had an episode in which he forgot about his tank filling up and he went out and returned to a flooded home.
The filling the tank with water and letting it sit for a week 2 weeks while you observe the seams and the seals holds good for a new tank as well. In India 90% tanks are non branded which means someone makes them by hand. The workmanship is decent but still you may be unlucky to get an oddball.
AQUAPRO: quarantine your new fish.
99% of fish keepers: NO BODY GOT TIME FOR THAT
I just keep setting up another tank for the newbies. 😂 Somehow the quarantine tank always becomes permanently full.
If your water perimeters are ok, should you still do a water change?
Yes. Routinely. Once the parameters are off you have a problem, but regular water changes prevent them from happening in the first place.
😂 1 night I had a dream that I started a water change on 1 of my tanks and forgot about it and woke up and had to check the tanks to make sure 😂
0:17 salmon dancing in a fish video i see
Was doing a water change while I was watching this video. Lol💧🐟🌿👍😄
Lmaoooo
Omg I forget that the water was running and my tank is placed near my monitor and there tank overflowed luckily nothing happened but that was the scariest experience in my life
You live dangerously 👍
The re-enactments! Ahahhahahha
Checking the tanks for leaks should be on all new or used I know people who have gotten brand new tanks and a week later they noticed it's leaking. Also if you buy a used one don't worry about it just look on TH-cam how to reseal a tank. The thing you need to worry about is what you will have in the tank and has the previous owner used any medication that are harmful to what you want to put in the tank
"You know, you get seduced by everything at the fish store and you end up making a wrong decision. This has happened to me on a few different occasions." On tonight's episode of LFS After Dark... Lol
Never leave an unopen jar of fish food on an open tank. It will always (I really mean that) find a way to fall in.
Never say this will only take a few minutes when you start working on a scape. It only takes longer that way.
Never buy a fish and then buy a tank for the fish. Have the tank ready at home in advance.
Never forget to hit that like button!
Your hair grew back super fast Mike!
Lollll
Hi there! It's my first time setting up an Aquarium. If your gonna check on my videos it looks messy and disorganized, need some advise. 🙏
For the first one this is the one, and only, advantage of using buckets for water changes.
keep the videos going and lets see that lab coat again!
Don't forget you were thawing bloodworms.
Don't forget about the microworm culture you tucked away.
Omg yes! Leaving a cup of bloodworms on yur light fixture for 3 days will clear that room out! 🤯
I definitely have a disco playlist dedicated for water changes 🕺
How do you forget that you’re filling up your tank with your bucket?
Any 2nd hand tanks i re-seal no matter what... i won't risk it. Imo its best to be safe. 10 mins, some silicone and 24 to 48 hours later its ready for water. You can't put a price on piece of mind
My tank is behind a door with a double stopper. Still would avoid it if you could
Don't watch your team when doing a water change! I had the football on when doing a water change once and even though I was sitting in front of the tank holding the siphon in the bottle it still overflowed...I got distracted for too long watching a counter attack...took my eye off the level of the water and hey presto, wet floor!
Just reseal the aquarium. A novice can do it. There are people who reseal every new tank they get, even if it isn't bad. I'm a diyer who's never owned a fish tank, and I built my own. It's over a year now, and I've built 4 tanks with no issues, other than silicone doesn't stick as well to plastic as it does glass, and so I've had to make the odd repair.
Tbh I never do waterchanges and my fish are doing fine, the secret is, don’t understock, plant heavily and have good filtration. I have a group of crystal red shrimp and they are breeding like crazy so for me it’s working well.
Raye Soh yeah they look stunning, I do test my water every now and then and i have changed some water once or twice but more because I took water out for other things. The tanks have been running for 2-5 years so I’d say that counts as a succes
Never add too many fish/inhabitants at one time!
Never get fish/inhabitants that are in compatible with each other
Always... knowledge is power!
Thanks Mike! A great video for everyone!
Are you That dude from coralfish 12g video🤔🤔
😍😍😍
Guilty of number 1. Made a coffee, hung out some washing .. then.. ffffffffff... flooded half of my garage and there was like 10% of water left in the tank
Luckily I have a snail and shrimp tank so I top off because I need the water as hard and mineral packed as possible
never leave an "accidental" snail in your aquarium (it will multiply in no time and ruin your aquarium)
is this statement true ? I found an accidental snail in my aquarium two days a go and it laid some eggs and I'm scared :O
Ahmet Yusufoğlu depends on the snail. Some snails need a partner and you will never have more than that one. In the case of other aka rabbit snails they are slow breeders and the adults are gorgeous and sought after so you can sell them easy, but if you get a snail that stays small doesn’t need a partner and breeds fast life becomes annoying.
Congratulations your a snail breeder now :)
@@k.959 noooooooo
@@simmister Thanks James , after a research I found out that they are Pond Snails and they really look like Lymnaea stagnalis . What's your advice?
Ahmet Yusufoğlu well good news it doesn’t breed a sexually but just need two to breed. The don’t have ornate shells or bodies so I can’t imagine you can easily sell or regime these guys, but they get on the big side so I don’t think of it as a pest snail. So question if you just need one snail take a paper towel and wipe the babies away and you’ll have the one unique snail not usually in the pet trade or keep them I don’t thing these will become pest snails
Got distracted with another tank in the other room while refilling my 120 gallon for a water change once... never again.
Draining the water during a water change spilled 10 gallons onto the floor
ive flooded my house atleast 10 times in the past 5 years by over refilling haha
Huge love ❤️ from Bangladesh
Plz give me a heart
Topping off your water wouldn't condense things. It would dilute things.
Bought a 20 gallon tank with a stand off Craigslist 😜
ALWAYS water test tanks. And when buying a used tank, don't go through with it unless you're willing to reseal it (if it's a glass tank).
👍💓👍
I like fish 🐠 :D
don't forget to put a lid! 3 tetras died this way :(((
What I do is buy all the fish at once and then treat all the fish I use salt first just to make sure there not diseased
Pliss subtitel indonesia
I'll argue the used tank part with you...you can reseal tanks..i argue just cause you didn't state this was geared towards new fish keepers and your saying NEVER do.
Watch fish videos on TH-cam while doing your water change ;)
Hope it’s not overflowing lol
Never put a brakish water fish in freshwater tanks
Mike Groeneweg disagree their are some mollies in example that do fine either
Darn. The water is 1 millimeter above normal level. I’m such a noob
1: Measure out the water in some kind of container when doing water changes. Make sure that if you forget to keep an eye on it any water overflowing happens in your shower, bathtub or similar situation that is built for flowing water. By the time you get to the aquarium you shouldnt have more water than can fit in your tank.
Its a little extra step and not quite as easy as turning on the hose but you can rest easy that a brainfart is not gonna flood your livingroom one day.
This is a long game hobby and youre going to be doing it in all sorts of distractions for years to come and it just takes one distraction at the wrong time to mess up your home.
Small filtration system on big tanks 🤦🤦💯😂
And vice versa
i like chicken nuggets dipped in ranch
First!!
Almost!!!😇
never adjust your CO2 system before you leave for work.
Don't use tap water to 'top off' your aquarium.
