I really appreciate these livestreams. I lost my voice from an injury a few months ago and these have been such a great way to fill the silence of my day. Listening to them has been so helpful for staying positive.
Dang, that sounds rough. Glad I can provide a little distraction.
God bless you
I love Cory's driving with your eyes closed analogy. It's hilarious, but so true!
Haha, my husband has that same soda thermos and loves it. Been using it daily for years.
Your YT analysis was in full agreement with my recent experiences of this platform, Cory.
Don't personally care which day of the week you upload or even the time of day since I always seem to end up watching the replay. Sadly, I'm not going to FB (ever) so I'll take whatever amount of Cory wisdom I get here on YT. All my best to you and yours.
I understand, we did submit feature requests to TH-cam to build better communities right here on TH-cam.
@@AquariumCoop Yes, I have seen your deep analyses of the TH-cam issues from time to time. My guess is that they (Google/YT) see us as data points to be maximized by whatever means that seem to work (such as Shorts) even if it's only a worthless illusion.
Ironically, one of the uglier results of that blind click measurement has been the infestation of the YT fish keeping hobby by a lot of nasty copycat channels geared towards click bait nonsense and using fish and other pets as disposable victims in tragedy thumbnails and childish stunts for views. How long before advertisers get wise that it's all bad for their business?
Keep on fighting the good fight, Cory.
YES...! I'll never go to Facespace, EVER...!
Have acquired so much more knowledge from your shows we watch mostly your shows now while sitting and watching our fish babies instead of the stupid shows on tv. Thanks so much for all your help!❤❤
You have no idea how much I enjoy your live streams. I'm I aus and my favourite for Saturday morning hands in tank time. And listening to u. ❤❤❤
Cheese is supposed to be eaten at room temperature, that’s when it’s flavor is best. I drooled when you described that sandwich 🤣
Was listening while fixing my dishwasher, thanks @sithlord 1 sw fan for the membership! 🙏🏼
Great live stream, really enjoyed the conversation.
I have a 900 gallon pond/above-ground wally world pool that is filtered by two large Aquarium Co-op sponge filters which I purchased at Shop Market Aquarium in Venice Florida... I'm so happy about your awesome products are available locally...! Thanks again and keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...!
Great video! Thank you!!!!
I am so sad I missed this 🥲 I really wanted to be live for this one
Why do my Sundays have to be so busy 😂
Love a good long stream, always interesting cheers
Thanks Cory have a good one
Nice one, yet again Cory
Enjoyed the video
I don't think I've ever 'thumbs-downed' anything ever...! I have thumbs-upped 1000s of videos though...! Thanks and keep it up...!
Shoulder surgery is usually done by hand surgeons. It’s so grouped together as upper extremity usually. But I understand what you’re saying.
Thanks for my pump-head replacement. 🤘
Also, this was my favorite AC stream. Nice job.
You legit make me laugh!!!
Replay crew..... again 😢
And how'd ya forget Sour Coach Sourers...! "Take a salt tablet"...! Hahaha, good stuff...! Keep it up
So sad i missed this one live 😭 i have so many questions haha
Awesome
Wednesday at 7pm eastern time... At least it's not competing with Nascar, however I'm usually in bed by 6pm and up between 12am-4am...! Oh well...
Now listen to the Aquarium co-op podcasts whilst im at work and it’s actually really good and educational.
I've had the thermos brand can cooler for years and nothing compares. Got it for like $8aud at Aldi
Yeah JJ aquarium!!!
YO! I have had experience with the stress ich with my panda Corydoras. It only hit my Corydoras both pandas an julli. The fry an juvies died as well as a Pygmy. A betta a feather fin squeaker and a super red pleco we’re all fine. I treated it with Pimafix. I dosed it very aggressive an daily for over a week the patches fell off in days. If you stop treating or treat lighter it will come back though so I used alot of the bottle. An the colony survived haven’t seen it in over a year now.
Your freeze dried success is probably due to Hikari being too overpriced...! By offering 95% more for the same price of Hikari, y'all nailed it...! Fish love it, therefore, I do too...! Thanks again and keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...!
Cory, you mentioned getting birds coming around to your feeders.
There is a great App by The Cornel Lab of Ornithology for bird watching etc.
It's called Merlin and you can ID birds by their call. I'll leave my phone outside near the feeder for 15 minutes and come back to see all the different species it picked up on.
Kinda fun.
Long comment
Catch ya later
Cory, have you even had or seen any Glasscages tanks?
I haven't, can't speak to their quality.
QUESTION: I have very hard tap water - I do use a conditioner to remove chlorine etc. but water stays fairly hard as my fish breeds are all suited to hard water conditions... All my aquariums use gravel only & are fully planted with root feeding plants. All are fairly fully stocked. I use plant tabs only and not very often= I am finding that the hard water and fish waste, for the most part, are sustaining my plants (sure they don't "flourish" but do grow -slowly) to the point that I can move the new growth to other locations or other tanks... I have only had one fish ever die and that was due to stress (small young female & large aggressive older male)
I have also never had an issue with each tank having the same conditions (test strips are identical even though people tell me that is near impossible) to the point that I have never had issues moving fish from tank to tank as they spawn (trying to keep male to female ratios comfortable for them).
I would like to hear your thoughts on how well fish waste, in hard water, can sustain plants without (or with very little) fertilizer dosing (and only gravel for substrate)
I moved to a new apartment, set up and no real issues (as above info) for a year. (with new fry on a monthly basis)
Am I dreaming, or do I have a lucky horseshoe ? (seems too good to be true)
Anyway = just wondering (and would greatly appreciate) your thoughts on this.
THANX !
I'd say you've probably just been lucky. All plants and fish could thrive in your tapwater. Go to a local river and you'll see local fish and plants thriving. The problems happen when you mix different fish and plants in different waters. It's hard to determine a full picture from a comment. Some people are proud their fish lived 3 years when it's species that should like 30+ years. They just don't know it. They may be happy their plant is green, when when it's happy it's actually red. All that really matters is, if you're happy. Great, keep enjoying the hobby!
Hey Cory, very nice content. A small question to you maybe you can give me an advise.
I have 5 fancy goldfish and 2 common black goldfish and 1 week ago they started getting some white spots on their fins. It's not Ich, I found out it's a fungal disease because it's only on the wings and one of the common goldfish has a white spot on the lower lip to the mouth.
After visiting the local pet store to get some advice, they recommended to do a 50% water change, and start a saltwater treatment and also add Omnipur A from SERA (has Malachite Green).
On Wednesday, it seemed that the disease started to go back, but today I noticed that other white spots appeared one of the fins of the fish, and in the places where it had white spots from the fungus, now it has turned to brown/black in that place. Any idea what to do.
I really want to save these little guys :(
Lol I won't eat a cold sandwich.
My first experience with Jimmy John ended up with the sandwich under the hood.
I see you have braces.! Good for you.!
I don’t mind some algae. I like the natural look so long as it’s not crazy or making your like difficult. I love when I show ppl my tank(new person/seasoned fish owner) and they say…..you have algae and the back glass or that rock has algae. I laugh inside.
hi thare
👍🏻👍🏻
I missed the stream but i've got a question for ya. I have a 26 gallon bow front tank, its well live-planted and has a sponge filter meant for a tank more than double its size, it has about 10 otocinclus ( they've been breeding ) 8 chili rasboras and a betta. Would it be ok to add 6 more chili rasboras? or is that too much? I would love to have a bigger school, and perhabs breed them but i'm not sure if the tank is suitable for that many fish even tho its got a lot of filter media. I could always move some of the otos but they love that tank haha.
First question is, is your spong filter a co-op filter? Definitely step one. 🤣
@@ExoticBoxofWater lmao no, i live in canada we can't get that stuff here anymore. its just a regular sponge filter meant for a very large aquarium lol
My 2 cents is that it depends on what your current nitrate levels are and how often you want to change water. If you dont want to change water more often, dont get more fish. If you dont mind changing water a bit more often, get more. I'm sure your current school would enjoy more friends.
@@TheVulcanBard i'm not really worried about the nitrates or water quality, i'm more so wondering if its enough physical space without feeling too cramped. the otos make good use of all the coverage between the plants, rocks and sponge filter, but would 14 chili rasboras feel comfortable in a 26 gallon bow front space wise, since its not a long tank and i know schooling fish typically prefer that.
currently i usually see 6 or 7 of them at once, often split into two groups that occasionally merge into one, seems there's always 1 that's not with the group like 80% of the time but comes out every so often so i know they're all in there, probably not the same fish every time either. i feel like adding more would make them school better instead of dispersing so much, i just don't want to fill too much space. Ive had these guys several months, doesn't seem like a stress thing, they color up super well too especially when i feed micro worms lol
@@StarlightBettas totally add them. I think you and the fish will enjoy it. Also, April's Aquarium ships coop products across Canada! They are in Burnaby and Vancouver BC. If you live locally they are really nice stores.
Did I miss the live stream video chat
Can I reseal a spot on aquarium or redo the lot😅
I have a electric blue ram with larger white cysts on just the top of his head any 💡
If you have a QT tank, try it solo in there with salt at 1 tablespoon per 3 gallons.

Replay crew
How often should I do salt baths for my small betta fish who is battling severe constipation and bloating?
I don't do salt bathes. I'd probably just treat the tank or make a quarantine tank until the fish was doing much better.
That’s okay thank you for the advice!
I've never understood why people value their "likes" so much. Like if you've even clicked on this video just hit the like button. I find it so dumb how people gatekeep their likes. This video has 800 likes but over 9k view's, doesn't make sense.
I honestly think the majority of it is just forgetting.
