Hi Chirs
Unfortunately aquarium Co-op doesn't ship to Canada.....
your my inspiration for fishkeeping I hope to be like you one day
Used to be able to get some products on Amazon but no longer :(
End of the video club
The first tank is like if you get an expensive , good quality car and you fill it with 8 adults, 7 dogs and 4 children
And they are all eating Ice cream, screaming and doing their business all while there is an infestation of roaches due to car negligence and poor hygiene
That sounds like my family trips when I was young.
@@apss5736 hola
@@fearisafishy hi
It is so overstocked, idk how this discus isn’t so stressed it’s killing itself
Hey Chris. I’m so happy you rated my tank. In the tank right now there are 3 vampire crabs. I still have to get one more. The water volume is not enough for any fish, but I do have a two cherry shrimp in there. The tank has grown so much since that picture. I’ll send a picture of it in the discord! And again thank you so much for looking at my tank!!!
It looks beautiful.
I had to google vampire crab and that must look amazing
I am not gonna lie this tank is perfect for them
How do u send him our tank pic to get it reviewed??
I was pleasantly surprised when my local fish store made sure I had the right tank for a betta fish and that I was over 18
They made sure I had it was going to upgrade my goldfish I was buying to a 10 gallon 🤯
The well being of fishes should be the main argument for the notation, so I would grade this 0/5
That first tank reminds me of a lot of the Japanese aquascaping scene on Instagram. I see a lot of tanks I could only dream of making but stocked horribly. I tend to lean on assuming the water chemistry is good and the overstocking or poor stocking is just causing isses of space and maybe stress rather than death due to poor water conditions.
For example the other day I saw probably a 10gal with a dozen gobies in it.
I SO hear you! I love watching the DIY videos for concrete aquariums and ponds done in SE Asia. So cool. But then the stocking they use.... Ugh.
Well when I usually see these pictures I just tell myself that they overstock those tanks for the pic or video and then remove them
OH MY GOD, that is so true-
Bro, i have a 10 gal with mollies. I started with 3 mature ones ( 1 male, 2 females) and now I have 12 of them, before that i had acquired some glowlight tetra and a yoyo loach. I don't know what to do with the fry ( they've grown big enough that they don't get eaten )
@@Mikau. sell back to a local pet store for some fish food or something
Ahh It's nice to see our Host Millie with her co-host Chris doing an FTR and making our day better.
is this opposite day
@@FishForThought It was never opposite day. millie is clearly the main host here
I like to see a slice of nature in an aquascape. Seeing so many restless fish that there's hardly any open space, for me, destroys the aesthetics entirely
yeah it's rather very unnatural
Hey Chris just want to say thank you for now being my new Monday tradition for me and my daughter.
Plus want to say thank you for getting her into fish tanks. We are going to make a red planted shrimp tank for her birthday next month. Yes we will take pictures and hopefully she will be good enough for FTR.
Chris: 3/5 *too much shrimp* 😭
@@redpaints Sorry forgot to say will put a "jaws" figure with it
woohoo! Hope y'all make lotsa wonderful memories scaping tanks together :)
The iridescent shark story is the saddest. Imagine how much of a beast the fish is if it was kept in a proper tank for 13-15 years.
Stocking breakdown for first tank:
-bala shark
-discus
-Congo tetra
-dwarf gourami
-Siamese algae eater
-harlequin rasbora(?)
-red von rio tetras
-Odessa barbs(?)
-baby angelfish (in the back)
-some sort of danio species at the top
-probably more that I can’t see
Good work
The first tank was beautiful…but the stocking…not what I would choose. 😅
Indeed xD
As someone who works in animal rescue and vet med, I have so much respect for your perseverance and kindness when educating others. I have zero patience and no effs left with animal neglecting or abusive clowns anymore.
I found your channel over the weekend. I've bought a few Aquarium co-op products in the past. Love it. Love the channel. "5/5 Keep it up"
Thank you :)
The scape is a solid 5/5 but that stocking is worse than 0/5. Even without the discus & the shark, I feel like the tank is wayy to overstocked. Someone with those aquascaping skills should be knowledgeable enough to do better or at least have the decency to inform themselves what kind of stocking they can do.
yeah to much fish give me so much anxiety to look at I just imagine myself in their place living in a overcrowded place and can't get anywhere to have some peace and quiet
there is probably a lot of bullying due to the lack of space ....
It’s genuinely crazy. The ONLY thing i can think is that maybe someone hired somebody else to scape and set up a tank, then they added other fish?
It's FTR Monday again and here we are indulging the amazing contents of our bro Chris 😊
My iridescent catfish is my monster fish this year. Glad to have one in my pond back home 😁
I spent the weekend discovering this channel. Now I am here on Mondays. My mom would be proud that I have finally committed to something in my life.
Dwarf hair grass
I screenshotted the picture of the sign with the Betta fish to show to my boss. I work at an LFS btw. We don’t advocate for bowls, but he has some in stock and I always tell customers that it is best if you get a filtered aquarium.
That first tank is what happens when you put all your XP into one skill.
It has been one year and I still die inside when Milly is impulsive with Chris🤣🤣🤣
For the paludarium one: definitely not dart frogs, they would drown for sure, fire belly toads of newts sounds like a better idea
Vampire crabs!
@@Fdsajkl53 or even fiddler crabs!
That would be really cool
that power outlet in the "fishtank" really gonna give these animals some boost energy....
but good effort OP!!! ❤
"chirst"
We did that same assignment in APES :) That’s how I ended up with my first fish, although she was a rosy minnow (named Bubbles) who died just before I upgraded her from a 2.5g to a 10g :(
She did inspire me to get into fishkeeping though! She was a great little fish.
As long as that discus and shark are in there just for grow out I think it’s ok. Ive seen some discus do ok on their own. That being said It would still be better to get the discus a larger tank and some homies and the bala shark probably should be moved out of there ASAP judging by its size.
I have a friend that I love her, but she is horrible with fish tanks. She had a huge tank without a filter and everything died. I cleaned it all out, got a filter for it and put in 5 guppies and a sucker fish. She comes back and immediately puts in gold fish. The water is now so cloudy and shes already got fish dying again.
First fish tank should be 2.5/5... The scape is a masterpiece but the stocking is obviously a zero... Btw Chirs Advance Happy Chinese new year to you guys in the west! 🏮Cuz it'll be early here in the east... And sorry I have no red envelopes for you 😁🧧🧧🧧
everybody: Mondays suck.
Chris: Mondays are my days to roast peoples crappy betta bowls
7:38
In my country it’s normal for pet stores to keep betta in tanks with other fish, and bowls are a bit less common!!
And my fav LFS that’s a chain has a few people who know a ton about fish and put up educational signs at the fish section! They also have tons of live plants and have great overall pet care !
Just finished a science exam, FTR always relieves me lol.
grats on getting that over with!
The crab at the start looks so cute🤣😍
The fact that I'm pretty sure the first tank is AR and none of the fish are in the tank, but none of the comments mention it is concerning. The fish don't move right and look plasticy to me
5:31 perfectly cut screams
I bought a baby male Betta at Petco (of course it was in a bowl) I put him in a ten gallon tank by himself and omg the colors that he has now r beautiful. I wud have never thought he would look so pretty from what I saw at Petco when I bought him.
Dart frog would most definitely drown. They should only have very low water. This is because darts do not have the skin in between their toes and thus cannot swim well. They will panic and drown. Some specific individuals would probably do ok but vast majority would probably drown. Also they climb, even just straight glass. Meaning that in that enclosure they would either die of drowning or because they got out and became frog jerky.
Not only is it not ideal stocking choices. But surely those different species don't ALL tolerate the same conditions. Some of them have to be stressed from parameters AND tank mates.
Just found out my friend has a betta in a small (less than 3 gallons) tank.. I shamed her, and will now teach her our ways. Wish me luck FTR community.
Всем привет 🖐️ с разводни аквариумных рыбок из Ташкента 🖐️, дружеский лайк от моего канала 👍👍👍
That first tank is a prime example of rich people hiring an aquascaper. Crazy I know but you can hire people here in Australia and they'll design and setup a beautiful tank for you. Then some peanut with more money then sense goes and fills with terrible stock ideas. I've seen a guy who posts regularly in a aquascaping page explain situations where he's really not comfortable with stocking ideas of his customers but they flat out ignore him.
Chris: Milly, tell them to get their hands we....
Milly: I'm the boss here Chris.
Nothing but chaos behind Millie’s eyes
I saw a huge demasoni cichlid ( an absolute unit around 4-5 inches) and now I'm worried I'll need to upgrade my 125 litre with 8 demasoni, 4 yellow labs, a bristlenose pleco, 3 fry and a nerite snail. To all the people calling them dwarf mbuna just no
I personally wouldnt put a group of demasoni in less than 75 gallons, 50 gallons seems to be the general minimum for a small group
The tank ( 125 litres or 33 gallons ) has 3 rock formations ( one has like 10-12 holes ) and fake plants. As well as some floaters. It has a big canister filter and an internal filter as well as some crushed coral substrate. All ( minus the pleco, the fry and the snail ) are between 2-3 inches so not full grown but in the future they might need a 4 foot tank ( current one is 28 inches long ) but depending on their adult size and tge time it takes ( don't forget that mbuna need overstocked tanks ) I may have to look for a second hand 4 foot
@@apss5736 im glad youre looking into it. Theyre definitely beautiful fish. Remember overstocked doesnt mean a smaller tank
Yea once they hit their slightly larger size I'll try to upgrade. I've started keeping any eye on 4 foot tanks on classified ads so I'll try and see what I can find for them. Currently they have enough space but I'll try and make sure I can find a cheap ( 150 pounds or so ) larger tank
@@apss5736 thats great! Im sure theyll be happy and healthy :)
I really like Easy Green. Here’s how you know if you need Easy Iron, or just an iron supplement: If your new leaves look pale, but with green veins, you probably need more iron. Adding too much will cause black beard algae so be careful! I noticed the new leaf of my anubias looking kinda pale and adding Easy Iron helped my plants look properly green again! If I don’t add any for a while the new growth starts looking pale again, so that’s how I know it worked.
Edit: Can’t spell right
You mentioned the food thing with Rephasy and I just felt the need to come here and tell you that I used to have a cat named Dim Sums... He was rehomed due to circumstances, but it just amused me...
The first tank had Congo tetras as well. While that tank alone might be fine for them with all of the beautiful yet deceiving aqua scaping there was hardly any room left for them either.
5/5 scape
-5/5 stocking
Why does that stunning blue betta fish have a tea bag in his tank?
It’s my tank it’s rooibos tea leafs quick and easy tannins
I want to order from that petstore just to show support. If only they could do this here. I can't even get proper local fish stores like in my old hometown, just chain petstores here and a singular local that takes decent if not good care of their fish, but horrible care of their reptiles.
I keep fire bellied toads and that’s what should go in that palaudarium. I’m about to upgrade my toads to one, myself.
When you walk into petsmart to get crickets and fish stuff and this is what you hear:
Girls dad: hi my daughter had gotten a beta fish here and it was in a nice bowl, there wasn’t even anything in the bowl and it died in a week, we didn’t even do anything.
Petsmart employee:
I have Water Wisteria in my 10 gallon. It grows like a weed for me. I like how its used in this tank. 3:38
That would be my tank thanks! Definitely my favorite no stress plop it in and grow plant .
@@hugacreeper69110 Your welcome!
Ftr is a weekly reminder for me that I still haven't cleaned my tank
Happy lunar new year, everyone.
Thought this was a Sunday tbh(3:52 have the same betta lol)
"I'm hard"-Chris 2022
Hehe his name is Andy energetic little dude
"Millie tell them to not forget to get their hands wet" so cute
That iridescent shark tank is of one of my friends he also had a pleco in it when I last visited
Repashy is the host, millie is the co-host and Chirs is the janitor
So the fish project is a common in APES and the hilarious thing that I went through is having to explain to my APES teacher who also has a whole masters in marine science that a soda bottle isn't suitable for a Betta or any fish.
When Millie screamed I felt that lol. I have cockatiels who scream directly into my ear with no mercy or feelings of remorse
hahaha I actually said "am not ya mate, mate!"
I try really hard to make thoughtful stocking choices, although I do have a lone angelfish in my community tank and he feels like an indulgence.
I see so many Noah's ark tanks in my work life. It makes me the sad.
I tried to do a carpet of dwarf hairgrass in my 9.5 gallon betta tank, but it failed so I grow water wisteria instead.
You have inspired a new branch of passion projects on my tree of ideas a new idea on if I had the money... roughly the idea is enclosed life systems starting out with microbes how to sustain them then under water plants after seeing what would be required for that see how complex the balance of more complex life being added I believe are collective knowledge on biodomes and enclosed ecosystems along with are ability to detect the levels required for life control I've always had an interest but this puts a nice bow on this field of intrest to further an answer my question an beliefs
glad to hear it!
I like my first 20gal high tech tank. I Have a half-carpet of Dwarf Hairgrass and a nice bush of Water Wisteria growing.
This channel has taught me about fish keeping more than anyone so commenting for the algorithm
Nice video. Been watching this channel recently to get tips on my tank lol
i actually made homemade food for my crested gecko. took a lot of research to make sure everything had enough calcium and not too much of this one acid that makes it hard for them to absorb calcium. had to get spirulina, bee pollen, and dried flowers off amazon to add to it. then i just blended up a bunch of fruits and veggies, the aforementioned stuff from amazon, and some dubia roaches, crickets, and horn worms. my crestie was always hit or miss with premade food, but he went crazy for the homemade stuff. i just put it into ice cube trays and froze it, also used it for gutloading crickets, worms, and roaches for my frog
When I see these terrible aquariums I can’t help but think about my poor dad who got super into the fish keeping hobby, eventually moved into salt water and had an insanely massive corner tank with everything you’d want in there, probably spent thousands of pounds over the years he had that tank. One day he comes home with some new rock from the fish store and it goes in the tank and when we come downstairs the next day it is fish genocide, everything is dead, all his crazy expensive fish and even the coral looked awful and sick. He was so upset that he gave it up entirely and these people get away with keeping fish in cocktail glasses or Tupperware SMH
haha 7:18 thats my lfs and my post
every monday i wake up an groan saying the week is only starting but then i remember today is FTR !!!
Milley can join pretty much EVERY cockatiel I've ever had - they're horrible when it comes to falling off their perches. LOL
that paludarium would be perfect for a single fire bellied toad or a couple vampire crabs, assuming it’s 10 gallons and not 5
My single betta fish:ahh bubble nest done
Betta: now wait for the ladies ….
Idk, we can't see from the video of that first tank if they fish are stressed or aggressive. Only someone who watches the tank longer term (a few hours at least) can confirm if the fish are having a bad time, being aggressive, stressing out, etc. Judging by the limited info we have they're healthy, not fighting, no nipped fins that I see. I'm presuming the tank has balanced water parameters, in which case there can be outliers that do remarkably well in less than ideal environments, as we've seen by many older fish living under insane conditions. Should they probably have more space? Yeah. Are they probably OK in that tank at least for now? If they're not showing obvious signs of stress or fighting, also yeah.
When Millie schreeched in your ear I was like awwww so relatable 😂 so many times my Cockatiels would do just that
Thought you put easy iron in your shoe.
I was thinking “hmm fertilized shoescape wonder if it’s lowtech or if it’s got CO2”
Jesus christ, that Iridescent shark should be 3 feet by that age, one of the most stunted fish I've ever seen
Is that a teabag for blackwater in front of the filter at the beautiful blue betta tank
the bali shark tank it really depends on the fish its self it could be chill or aggressive
I'm guessing that first tank is that it most likely be a temporary tank, though the fact that they aren't In schools just drops the case for the person
CHRIS hope your Monday is going just right or Tuesday if you live in Australia
meanwhile me fibbing in new Zealand where its also Tuesday
Hey Chris, I’ve noticed my betta has one side of his eye completely white is there something I can do for him?
Chris : she’s bad at balancing
Milly: sleep with one eye open ChIrS
always xD
Nice to see our favorite Co Host rating tanks
The fact that the tank from the thumbnail came fist and not towards the end to maximize watchtime makes this vid a solid 5/5
Rooibos tea bag at 3:55 on the filter to add color to the water? Can you explain Chris?
Lol I’m the owner it’s a simple way of getting quick tannins learned it from a fellow fish keeper/farmer. Just make sure theres ONLY rooibos and no caffeine or other products
@@hugacreeper69110 Thanks! I always wondered if I could. I didn’t find anyone that did until now.
Late night FTR for us aussies!! Thanks Chirs for this video ( and milly ofc)
Milly out here reminiscing the days of her ancestors flying free in the Australian outback
@@FishForThought lmaooo she do be flying tho
Hi Chirs. I hope you're able to read this because you said something in the video that struck a chord.
I joined Petscord a few months ago because I like FFT and FTR and would like to share my tanks progression but instead of enjoying my stay there, I was ganged up by tank size queens and told what I was doing is wrong and stupid. I have since deleted my account. People in there kept providing condescending advice, not even reading the description in my posts and just providing advice I am not inclined to follow as it goes against everything that has worked for me.
I hope people will listen to your words about providing empathic advice rather than pushing their need to be right.
Wednesday frog - it is Wednesday my dudes
Milly - it is birbsday my dudes
Repashy - It is geckday my dudes
Tamago - it is fishday my dudes
CHIRS -it is chirsday my dudes
Just finished an essay, FTR really helps me calm down.
Millie screaming randomly in your ear to show dominance and to reming that she is the main host
Yea it should include the well being and not just the scape itself but the environment that can sustain life. Your telling me that if I lived in a beautiful mansion the chances of it killing me are higher than making sure where I live is safe
8:23 lets gooo baby
thanks for starting Monday off the right way
The iridescent shark op was kinda petty XD. Will likely make his friend more stubborn.
“5 star Michelin chef” mans is so good at cooking they added 2 stars to the rating system just for him
I think based on the amount of crazy good looking plants and diversity this scape may have been made by hired person, lol
“I agree with Chris when he gets here” sent me 😂 LOlz
I was thinking about this question I wanted to ask u about . I have done a few scapes but always tend to change them after 6 months or so not because I get bored of em but because something else interests me more . I have noticed a few aquascapers who do that as well like MD but then u also have many who dont change much . Have u never been tempted to change the scape of the cube tank like sure the plants are very well settled and the tank is perfectly balanced but doesn't the "Into the forest" look tempt u at all . It is a slightly complex scape but I would always be tempted to make a path surrounded by some tall wood going deep into the forest in a cube tank .
for the one on 9:30 I'd recommend an axolotl idk just seems fitting
I'm very shock to see that first aquarium, it's a very professional looking scape but the stocking is a no no...
I have mixed feelings about this now
Yes. It's a perfect size for shrimp
@@apss5736 right, well u can keep shrimps in small pickle jars as well but 10 gallons r perfect for shrimps
@@DanRemdor true tbh.
Hi, Now I am keeping betta for the first time. I have a 16 gallon tank, with a bunch of live plant. That should be a problem, if i keep him with a few red neon tetra and a few flame tetra?
9:36 tutel
