*Robert wants to know, "Has anyone ever bred and raised nerite snails before?"* To learn more about them, see our top 5 algae eaters video: th-cam.com/video/h94Jp82Dk_U/w-d-xo.html
Since they need brackish to breed, it would be interesting to see Zenzo try this in one of his brackish setups. I'll only have "glitter" in my tanks :) Fun fact - they change gender at least once over their life. I had one lay no eggs for six months and I was relieved that I had a "male". Come Christmas, I had glitter on every inch of wood in that tank. STILL laying eggs as of August. Another that was laying eggs on rock in another tank for the first few months stopped over the winter - no eggs since. Have a lid for these! I left one lid cracked open this week and found my nerite on the counter, 2 feet away (he/she was ok).
It would be cool, if everyone of your retail partners across the country. If you pre released your fish list to them, so they could order them themselves and then when a video like this dropped on your channel. Our local fish store would possibly also have the same fish. It would drive people to the lfs and you can educate people on the fish.
So glad to see Robert again! What I realized with videos like this is how much we learn because we get to see so many species and hear details on how to care for them. Fun stuff!
Great video - lots of practical info about the fish. I was very excited to get to come to Aquarium Coop for the first time ever (from Canada) about two weeks ago. The store and the products didn’t disappoint - it's all awesome!
Thanks Robert, Now I want a platty tank with ember tetras, cory's, sparkling tetras, amazon puffers,rummy nose tetras, cardinal tetras, some hatchets. Great video.
I currently have a breeding pair of wild caught Pterophyllum Leopoldi. They are my favourite. It took me over 6 months though to get hold of a group of 8 juveniles about 15 months ago. I don't know how common they are in the US, but in The Netherlands they sure are hard to resource.
What water parameters are you getting yours to spawn in? I have a group of wild caught ones and have been trying to get them to spawn but no luck so far.
@@andysfishden6506 Hi Andy, first off, it took me 15 months to raise the group to full sized adults. I had all 8 of them in a heavily planted 120L (35 gallon?) tank, with large pieces of bogwood, Echinodorus Bleheri and Valisneria Gigantea and some larger Anubias species On CO2 (no liquid fertilizers) at a PH of 7.2, temperature 26°C (79°F). So they would not be able to see each other all the time as the tank would be a little small to house 8 of them otherwise. Been feeding them mainly Sera Vipan Nature flakes, Sera Vipagran Nature granules, the occasional frozen red mosquito larvae and live daphnia. I did monthly 30% water changes with dechlorinated tapwater, TDS 280, PH 8.0. I got them at 3" in may 2021, and from approximately month 3 there were 2 of them that would hang out together and fight off the others all the time. These two were the fastest growing as they got to the food first also. So I was hoping those stronger two would be come a pair later on. Early july 2022 temperature rose above 30°C (86°F) from the heat wave we had here and one afternoon as I got out of work I noticed about 200 eggs on a Valisneria leave. The spawning pair were indeed the earlier mentioned 2 largest angels. The other 6 angels were chased away by the breeding pair so I moved those 6 to a 200L tank. The breeding pair are still in the 120L heavily planted tank. As I went on a holiday the next week I decided to leave the parents to care for the fry. I had a friend feed all my fish, and he fed Hikari First Bites to the fry but they eventually were eaten by the parents after he noticed he stressed out the parents one day coming in the fish room fast and not too careful. No worries as I was sure they would spawn again, and so they did, 4 weeks after the initial spawning. I took the eggs out this time, put them in an aerated 1L food graded bucket with Esha2000. As eggs started to fungus exponentially I did decide to add methylene blue to the water after 2 days. Too late I assume as fungus spread over large batches of eggs rapidly. So, next time I will use methylene blue from the start. So, eggs hatched after 68-72 hours at 30-26°C. The fry got free swimming after 6 days at 26°C. I currently am at day 4 after free swimming and have 50-60 fry at 26°C in good health, feeding them microworms, egg yoke and baby brine shrimp. Doing daily 30% water changes with dechlorinated tap water. I also tried Hikari First Bites but they wouldn't take that so far.
@@dennisbinkhorst2039 thanks for the information. I've had my group of six for a little over two years, they get fed a couple times a day a variety of flakes, pellets and frozen brine shrimp and daphnia. There are a couple that I have thought a couple times seemed like they might be a pair, but I have not seen any spawning activity, such as cleaning a site or anything. I do keep them right at 80°F so maybe I will try bumping them up a few degrees and see if that works. Your water doesn't seem too different than mine, TDS is real close. I had been using RO water to try and bring the TDS down thinking maybe they need it low like discus. They are kept in a tank with lots of plants, various crypts, jungle val and sword plants, so they have plenty of places to hide and line of sight breaks. They are very skittish fish, I have to be careful approaching their tank or they all dart and hide in the plants, until throw food in the tank.
@@andysfishden6506 Yes, I'd advise you to go with a temperature raise over the course of a few days. Maybe power feed them those days accomodating with some frozen red mosquito larvae and live foods if you can get that. I did feed my pair 4 times a day quite heavily the 4-5 days before they spawned the second time.
unboxing is fun and educational. i love the little tidbits of info about each species. and they are all so pretty even when they are pale from shipping *-*
At 7:31 you asked about nerite breeding. I had bought a tiger nerite and put it in my 5 gallon freshwater tank. It laid eggs like normal for months. But then one day there was several baby nerites in my tank! I don't know how it happened,but they were definitely nerites. The weird thing is they didn't grow really. Maybe a tiny bit,but they died. It's a first for me
My first Cory's as as youth new to the hobby were the spotted cory's. I'm 66 now and I'm just finding out why my Cory's never lasted. They prefer to be in groups of 3 or more. Use to only buy 1 occasionally 2. Thanks for the info.
They do really well with 10+. The biggest issue is usually temperature (~74 degrees or lower) and oxygenation, meaning just make sure they have an air stone or two. Best of luck!
I wish I wasn't so far away because I would love to visit the retail store to buy fish and talk fish...you are all so knowledgeable and your passion shines through:)
I try to get some pea puffer but it was in quarantine when I saw them at local pet store. They won’t sell it till there free from quarantine tank but I waited too long. Video of puffer didn’t work it didn’t open. Just wondering what different from Pea puffer and Amazon puffer? Cory can you do a video about all puffer fish for pets? Thank you
Hey I need some information on a few things if anyone can answer them, so my ph is low and I have a planted tank I just wanted if crushed coral would help as a media? Just need some help
I have a 10 gallon community tank I keep for mollies and only two Cory catfish and they are panda cat fish and mine are super active and they have distinct personalities and I am planning on upgrading the tank but I’m moving so that’s going to be one of my first investments is upgrading to a 40-50 gallon tank
Hi Cory, how are you doing.. am great fan of you. You inspire me to be in this hobby. I learnt a lot watching your videos. I am from India, it's hard to buy your products. Do you have any local vendor here or can I buy at Amazon. Kindly help. There are so many people like me want to buy your products. Thanks

Actually yes, in my 40 gal freshwater I had them lay eggs and breed. Started with 8 ended up giving away over 200+

I've had two in my tank for the last 7 years, lots of eggs, but never any viable offspring.
@@dodgeramboy918 in freshwater??
@@rara5212 yep. The thing about snails, is they will lay eggs, but as long as there is enough food "algae" for them to eat, they will breed.
Lets get this video a ton of likes so they can see we want more unboxings with Robert!
Robert is my FAVORITE to watch. He always makes me smile!!
100000%
This really made me realize how much I miss watching unboxings but more importantly you and Jimmy
Please please please do more unboxings with Rob (and Jimmy)! They're my favorite. Idgaf if it's the same species every time. They're just fun.
It would be cool, if everyone of your retail partners across the country.

Very interesting idea.
I like the way you think
Good idea
I reckon that if I owned a Fish store, I'd have the Aquarium Co-op podcast going all the time in the Background.
I second the motion, possible to make it happen cory?
So glad to see Robert again!
What I realized with videos like this is how much we learn because we get to see so many species and hear details on how to care for them. Fun stuff!
Ahhh, an unboxing. It's like having an old friend over for dinner. Good times, we should do this more often.
ALL ROBERT!!! Woohoo!!! Excellent video sir. Now we need an unboxing of unusual fish starring Robert.
More Robert! More Robert! More Robert!
Oh what a treat this has been. So refreshing to see you Robert. Hope the baby is doing well.
This was greatly appreciated! Please do more. Such a knowledgeable hobbyist !
Great video - lots of practical info about the fish. I was very excited to get to come to Aquarium Coop for the first time ever (from Canada) about two weeks ago. The store and the products didn’t disappoint - it's all awesome!
This was a treat for sure. I love the unboxing videos with Rob! Have gone back and watched the older ones.
Love unboxing Videos which Robert because he is just chill
Thanks Robert, Now I want a platty tank with ember tetras, cory's, sparkling tetras, amazon puffers,rummy nose tetras, cardinal tetras, some hatchets. Great video.
YAY! A Robert unboxing is so fun!! Thank you. 😁
So much fun!
this big guy has all my respect really appreciate his work and knowledge May God Bless Him More
Yasssssssssss!!!! We need more Robert in our lives!!!!
Yay for Robert and the unboxing!

Love to see Robert.
Good to see you again Robert.....Love your fish unboxings
Enjoy watching the unboxings with Robert. Is Jimmy still the videographer? Didn't hear him talking with Robert.

Been waiting for this for a Long time , great to see what go in the shop
Great unboxing!!! Question-what are those red and yellow fish swimming with the Long Nose Angelfish? Thanks!!!
I noticed those too. They look awesome and I would love to have them in a new tank I’m building. I just need to k ow the name
Looks like a Von Rio flame tetra

Unboxings ate back. Always happy to see Robert
Just want to say thanks to all the team for all the knowledge I have gained from your channel and the endless help you have provided for me

Absolutely love unboxing videos!!!
The little red fish are so beautiful
Enjoy these unboxings! Thank you!
✨ Sparkling ✨ gouramis are my all time fav
Man its hard to beat a good Unboxing video.
Missed these unboxings!
Love the look on those Super Red A.
Great video! Can anyone tell me what the red and yellow fish in the tank with angel fish at 3:00 are? Thank you!
Hi Robert, nice to see you back. Are you missing your side kick ~aka~ Mr B roll ( Jimmy) Anyway Hope you have a lovely week.
Great taste in fish Robert! 😜
Missing the Jimmy banter though!
Brandon, this is an awesome order!
Agree, I miss Jimmy's banter!
Yeah miss jimmy interaction
Nope.
Miss these
Woohoo, he's back and so are the unboxing vids!! 🥳🎉🎉
I was wondering the same about the nerite right before you said that!
Thanks to see new 🐟 be good week
It's about time,,, thanks for going back to the roots of this AWESOME channel 👍💯
So glad to see an unboxing!
Never seen a butterfly fish before. Wow are they cool! What does care and tank mates look like for them?
I’ve been waiting for another one of these!
Welcome back !
Great info you gave. Thank you and good to c u ✌🏻
I try to get some pea puffer but it was in quarantine when I saw them at local pet store. They won’t sell it till there free from quarantine tank but I waited too long. Video of puffer didn’t work it didn’t open. Just wondering what different from Pea puffer and Amazon puffer? Cory can you do a video about all puffer fish for pets? Thank you
What a long nose angle??? I’ve never even seen those 20 years in the hobby!!! That would be amazing to find those miniature angles
Are your amber tetras about the same size as the cardinal tetras? I have 10 cardinals but i want to get 10 of a different tetra. The ambers look nice.
I was just in the shop today and went banana crazy shopping! (gift card from my daughter) Super Fun!!!
Lots of great information on different fish.
Do you need more than one snail to lay eggs, because I have tanks with 1 in each and I've never seen any eggs.
What are those red and yellow fish at 3:01
I’ve missed these!
Hey I need some information on a few things if anyone can answer them, so my ph is low and I have a planted tank I just wanted if crushed coral would help as a media? Just need some help
What are the yellow and red fish at 3:15?
Robert the best!!!!
Поздравляю вас с таким прекрасным приобретением. Рыбки просто восхитительные)))
YEAHHH BUDDYYYY!!!
Hey Robert, any chance you know where I can buy those Sera bags?
Those butterfly fish kind of look like bettas 😍
I have a 10 gallon community tank I keep for mollies and only two Cory catfish and they are panda cat fish and mine are super active and they have distinct personalities and I am planning on upgrading the tank but I’m moving so that’s going to be one of my first investments is upgrading to a 40-50 gallon tank
Pandas are one of my favorite cories!
What are the other fish in the angel fish B roll?
I’ve been waiting for one of these!!
What's the best rapashy for hillstream loaches and corys
Do you think that a Green bristlenose Pleco, 6 Von Rio's, 5 Guppy's, and a Dwarf Gourami, would be a good idea in a 20 gallon tank?
I do enjoy a good unboxing.
I have a single mystery snail which kept laying egg hutches and so far I have 2 baby mystery snails, I always thought you needed a male and female
Rummy nose has to be my favourite tetra
It has been so hard to get rummy noses locally. The local stores are saying they don't last long and die within a week of receiving them
Oh’ my gosh..! You didnt get any red devil’s or A Couple Dovii.?..😄
I really enjoyed this.
Awesome video!
Your brother Robert is great, you look alike Cory
I like the pisto mcmasteri that thing is great looking
Finally a unboxing video 🔥
I freaking missed these
Can beat a good ol fashioned unboxing.
Direct onto content ......... Lovely content buddy ♥
Years of watching these and No interaction with Jimmy during filming just seems soooo off!! Cool looking fish in there, Discus look amazing..
Couldn't agree more!!
@@vikingwarrior4966 yea.... they are so funny and goofy together..
Do more unboxing videos .Thank you .
Hi Cory, how are you doing.. am great fan of you. You inspire me to be in this hobby. I learnt a lot watching your videos. I am from India, it's hard to buy your products.
