Every Monday I come running with my fingers to click on this video as fast as I can. I’m still waiting on the day that I see that my fish tank has been reviewed. When that date comes, I have officially lived. Favorite shoes. CROCS!
4:10 It's cool how PetSmart-type places can change, not from the top-down, but from the bottom up because of the young employees that work there and demand change. Keep up the good work PetSmart kids 💖🐟
I just got a car, largely inspired by needing to buy fish for my tanks from Amazon. Now I'm driving the hour to Ottawa and getting to know our capital a bit as I visit the 7 PetSmart locations and 2 other fish stores. Some are from different eras, some are so identical I thought I was at the same one again. And I just found a bunch of interesting little guys at Big Al's that PetSmart doesn't have. Hillstream, Honeys, rabbit snails! Green Neons, dwarf cories, Purple Harlequins! Awesome staff at all. Fishkeeping is helping me come out of years of depression and despair and feel like myself again.
13:30 the best time to take fish videos or pics is at night i just turn off the lights and sit on a stool in front of the tank for 30 minutes and the main part to get good pics is that u have to move with the fish to get good pics
If you can, increase your shutter speed so that the fish don't come out blurry. There are apps that allow you to adjust camera settings more thoroughly on your phone.
That sign should definitely be mandatory for any place that sells fish edit: That 3 gallon is mindblowing! Doesn’t look like a 3 gallon and doesn’t look like it feels like one either, and lots of plants and floaters too, stocked with little guppies That 47 is just a *background* poster in terms of imagery! 😮 edit 2: Eesh… people say 55 for one oscar and 125 for a pair but *this*. This shows the truth And for the goldfish, *that’s* how you do it if you want a beautiful display tank for your hotel or restaurant or whatever Beautiful, natural, thriving, (doesn’t hurt to look at)
Hey Chris! I'm a long time watcher and have a scaped tank myself. My dog has recently lost his vision and one of the things that was recommended to us to help him adjust was for us to play media for him when we aren't around. He seems to prefer FTR for the music and your voice. Since he's started listening to your channel he has been far more relaxed and happy. Thank you for helping our boy, Donny Donnowitz, feel like himself again.
Hey Chris! Your everlasting love for corydoras inspired me to pick up a school of Pygmy Cory’s. They’ve only been in their new tank for a few hours and I’m already obsessed 😂 thanks for the recommendation!
Love these shoes, they´re too cool!! I´ve had a pair of those ages ago! Now one of my BJD´s wears replicas of black Doc Martens because he´s customised as the 12th Doctor from Doctor Who.
12:04 I actually got my Jetta at pet co the women who helped us told us river the five gallon tank with a pump a heater a light and she told us to get plants get sand showed us whifh foods we should get and told us how the cycle goes how I should wait at least three days to put my betta in the tank after doing all the stuff she was very helpful, thanks Briana
One time I was at petco getting some stuff cuz I was redoing my leopard geckos tank and someone was buying a spider and the worker seemed very knowledgeable and that made me happy
I worked at Petco and was actually yelled at for telling a customer that I recommend at least a 5 gallon tank for a Betta instead of the .5 gallon bowl they had because "some people don't want to spend that much" then don't get a fish or a pet for that matter. They ended up getting a 10 gallon starter kit so still don't understand wtf
in 13:32 you say Movement means food, you can chance that, i tap on the glass only when I feed, this way they chill, when i watch them. sorry for bad english
My only issue with the new Betta home is it’s proximity to the stove. Those beautiful floaters will be covered in grease quick and aquarium glass isn’t going tp handle any huge heat fluxuations.
12:50 good sir, those are not glofish, those are painted glassfish QoTW: I don't remember the last time I wore shoes, I usually wear slippers (this might go by a different name depending on where you're from) or just barefoot when I go in the yard to touch grass. I have a pair of gray sneaks, some offbrand pair I got from lord knows where, maybe Ross, so I guess they would be my favorite lol
1:51 "Who told you?" - like salvinia is some government kept secret 🤣 tbh my favourite floater, although I've only kept salvinia (forgot which one specifically), red root floaters (extremely sensitive IME), and the glitter of the aquarium hobby - duckweed.
Happy Monday!! Thanks for the reminder about floaters, I over-culled my water lettuce last summer and now I just have one teeeeeeeny piece. I keep waiting for it to grow and make a baby, but I think it's feeling too much pressure. Favorite shoes are my Hoka Compton 9 running shoes because they take me on ADVENTURES!
My son received a Betta in a cup from PetSmart, as a gift from someone who thought it was a great idea. And yes we're (mostly me) fish keepers. And we love Bettas. However we where looking to go in a different direction of species. But we knew we had one aquarium that would be a great home for this guy. It is a 31.5 gallon. That has a Buddha theme with ohko stone and of course, lots of plants, wood and thick substrate. Which is a aqua soil capped with soft sand. We think we is ok with this home we have made for him. He looks good and happy.
I have a friend who has a long finned betta in a fish bowl I noticed her fish had dropsy and told her. It was pretty obvious she didn’t care too much but after I sent her a few of your vids and I hope if she gets another fish she changes her ways. Thanks
Only recently discovered this channel, but I'm really enjoying the content. Keep up the great work! Shoes: New Balance; I need a wider size, and they're one of the few brands that actually have wider sole molds rather than just adding extra material to the stock mold and calling it wide.
My Ariats. Really comfortable and durable. My current betta is really easy to take pics of- he sees the phone aimed at him and poses. I swear he's the reincarnation of a model lol. He looked rough when he came home though, he'd absolutely shredded his tail in the store. He's a stunning little guy now and has earned the right to pose.
Qotw: fav shoes are my Doc Marten Chelsea boots. Real leather, so they’re water proof. I got the no slip tread, so great in bad weather. Just took a winter trip to Northern Japan and they kept me nice and toasty in the snow, and I live in Louisiana and so far no swamp feet. Also, they look great. Y’all, get yourself a good pair of leather boots. If you keep them maintained they will last forever.
My favorite pair of shoes is a tough one. Cold weather is my Muck boots. Had them 6 years and still as warm and comfy as when I got them. Warm weather is flip flops or barefoot. Momma's feet need to breathe after being crammed into boots during the cold season lol.
I have a question about corys that google cant ansewer the bottom fins and the bottom of my corys have white bumbs that cover the edges of them what is is? Should i be concerned? How do i treat?
Oh! So my husband and I have a pokemon & Trading card shop (His hobby) I saw this as a perfect opportunity to get another tank. I want to have a large, planted, water pokemon themed tank with two fan tail goldfish that hopefully look close enough like goldeen and seaking. (I have seen goldfish change color with age so close enough works) I love the idea of a full forest of plants on the top of the tank like the tank that was shown at 9:25. What would be the suggestions for plants? Nerd out if you can to make suggestions that remind you of the pokemon show. Also I kind of want to make this a learning opportunity as well because we have tones of kids that come to our store. So if they see a beautifully planted tank, themed to look like two pokemon they will want to do the same.
@@FishForThought Thank you. It was the only way I could get another tank without my husband giving me the "Not another one" look lol. But I am having fun with the idea. I have been studying up on what crystals are safe in tanks. I found one that is safe to use and will look just like a water stone.
Dunlop volley steel caps. 🇦🇺 steel caps in a tennis shoe. Sole lasts forever too. Really good if you have to do a lot of driving but go to sites where you have to have steel caps. 😊 luv ya work.
Floaters are great but sometimes I go with pothos or other plants growing out of the top for a cleaner look with less clumpy roots and equally effective. Depends on the esthetic I'm going for and whether or not it's a breeding tank. Floaters are a must for fry.
Happy FTR day everyone!! Let's recharge our FFT batteries and take Chris's anti-fish abuse philosophy out into the world! 🙏💙✌️ Edit; Chris bringing in the Naruto sadness and sorrow track when talking about how difficult shipping those super long narrow tanks is. 👏👏👏
That's why I love shrimp. They don't care about me being in front of the tank. They do their thing and I can just take videos or snap pictures of them being silly. :D
I forgot about that Keanu Reeves moment, so adorable. QOTW Not a shoe person but my Reebok Classic Legacy sneakers are my favorite, very cool colors. I don’t remember the official color name but they are various shades of teal/light blue with orange laces and accents. Very comfy, too.
I'm genuinely so jealous of that petsmarts sign I worked at my local petsmart and it's ok, the petcare folks and managers try their best to make sure people know what they're getting into when buying fish but man oh man I'd love if they could put up a sign like this dfhsf
I was the one who made the sign in the video! I'm so excited that a customer posted it on Reddit and that Chris found it 😭 Pet care just has to ask their GM if they can make a sign. I currently have a poll going for my dept to decide the next fishy facts theme
Our petsmart has tags for all their fish telling you how big they get along with some other basics. I was very happy to see that the smallest tanks they had were like 1 gal, and up to 5 gal they all have pictures of one betta on them. Some even had light flow filters. Maybe they're a mess still, but it at least looks like they're kinda trying.
Imagine having cool infographics like that in every pet store. I would go in just to read it and admire the art! Heck, they can even MONETIZE it with art collabs, merch, POSTERS. :D
Aw hell yeah happy Monday lads Also I’m starting up a 30 gallon tank, been cycling for a few days and I’m starting to see some nitrites and nitrates! Super excited
my favorite shoes are my lems cause barefoot shoes make my feet hurt less, but a close second are my tuks witch are the exact opposite at a 3 inch platform
My favorite pair of shoes is this Nike pair i've worn since i was ten lol. Anytime they get too beat up to wear I just buy the same pair. I haven't ever worn another
QOTW: sneakers for the gym, driving the stickshift Subaru...Muck Boots for Tiny Farm Problems except for summer when I can wear ...river sandals in the kayak... Does a mermaid tail count as shoes????
You guys, I'm a science teacher. Inherited the classroom fish tank, 65 gallon long. Knew nothing. Went to my local pet store, guess what they told me? Guess? "Oh, everything in this row are non-aggressive school fish, you can get any combination". He then helped me pick out 6 goldfish (regular "feeder" goldfish, 6 Platies, and 6 rainbow fish. Four months later I'm on Zoom with my dad, he sees my fishtank in the living (brought the fishtank home), he starts laughing so hard. Then he tells me the gold fish are going to get huge...eat all the other fish, and live forever. Great. Just great. (the goldfish are now as big across as my palm and so are the Platies)
I would love to get goldfish and/or plecos someday but I simply do not have the space for fish that grow that big at this point in my life. Not gonna try and keep them in a 10 gal lol
QOTW: any nike shows or adidas. Also Chris or anyone reading my comment, have you ever had your betta mantis shrimp a snail and then eat the flesh? Mine just did that while i tried to feed my assassin snail.
For Valentine's day, my wife gave me a used fish tank because I've been wanting some fish for a long time. The woman dropped it off with 4 mollys and a female beta (all with white spot disease) which she said i could keep or 'swap out'. I don't have it in my heart to let these poor fish die, but I'm so out of my depth. I had planned to plan something out, instead I was setting up a tank after an emergency petsmart visit within a few hours. Any suggestions for what plants are good for beginners and if i can still add any of the fish I'd originally planned? 10 gal. right now, to be upgraded to a 20 gal. within the year. I had originally planned snails, shrimp, African dwarf frogs x2, a couple of small plecos, and a little school of tetras.
Petsmart told me I was good with just a gravel base and would be able to add most plants since the roots aren't really planted, now I'm kicking myself that I'll have to redo the substrate to make it planted down the road.
I've been researching bettas since I plan on getting one soon, though I can't advise you on anything molly-related. The frogs, plecos, and tetras will most likely get along with the betta, but shrimp and snails it very much depends on the betta. Some bettas are chill about them, but others see their invert tank mates as tasty snacks. Some species of snail and shrimp are more likely to end up food than others.
Our local petco is pretty good too. They have size charts with tank requirements for the fish posted. Right to refuse sale posted and other signs .one example "pea puffers need other peas. Must be adopted in groups"
I wear cowboy boots all day everyday lol it keeps it easy to get ready cause it always goes with my bluejeans and i dont have to think about what to wear on my lower half just have to figure out my shirt
So now that I know what hydra look like, I guess I need to figure out how to get rid of them. I've been noticing tiny, threadlike green things on the glass of one of my betta tanks, and wondering about them. I looked them up, and it says they can get in on plants or other decor, or even just with dust in the house. I suspect the last, because it's an open tank, and I haven't put any new plants or hardscape in there recently. I had no idea they could be so tiny, but I looked very closely and sure enough, that's what they are, alright. Crap. QOTW: I'm totally obsessed with sneakers and boots. I don't think I can pick just one favorite pair, though. I might be able to list my 10 favorites, but even that would be pushing it! Fishkeeping is one obsession. Fashion is the other. Oh. And cats.
So my 180 litre (around 47 gallon) is all cycled (finally) and Im planning on getting fish this thursday. Im planning on getting a pair of apistogramma, ember tetras, some otocinclus and another tetra species and very maybe if I settle on 1 tetra species a honey gourami. I need advise on the numbers, how many tetras, how many species in one tank so I decided to get to chirs's comment section for help. Tank is 101x41x50 cm (Juwel rio 180 if anybody wondering) and planted. Any advise will help. Happy FTR monday everyone!
You need to add your fish slowly as in one species at a time give it a few weeks before adding the next species. Allowing the filter and water quality of adding livestock not to crash. Add your smallest inhabitants 1st.
Never kept my predatory fish in bare tanks.. always planted and decored. Black aro's, peacock bass's, stingrays etc :) Harder work, but testing testing testing untill you find plants you don't give a flying pig for :P
My Oscar is in a 90 with a feather fin catfish they share the space well but I’ve been saving up to upgrade them to a 1000-2000 gallon L tank have always felt bad for my Oscar being in these large tanks he’s went from a 5gal when he was an injured baby to a 55 to a 75 to finally a 90 with his tank mate next will be the big upgrade
hey dude i just wanna let u know that on my 2nd channel i will be showing my new tank for my neon and guppies ill link it next week do you wind reviewing it any advice is good
hey, FFR, im having a small issue, im trying to plan my first large / hobby grade tank( a 55 and or 75 gallon ) and im trying to see if the fish i have planned would go together ( and or be overstocked ) 1 aftrican butterfly fish 3 red lizard whiptail catfish, then 1 banjo catfish ( if you have any middle tank "schooling" fish, please reply with that species ( i'd like for them not to be to big, as all of my fish are catfish, so they cant be to small, )

I used to have a gold fish named biggey I had that mf for 9 years

That Petsmart also had things written on the tank telling people how big plecos and Bala sharks get. It was amazing
Thats so good!!!😊

Very, very good Monday, thank you for another great video.
Spent $30 on floaters from Amazon....no one told me goldfish AND platies eat them. They are gone. Gone.
my favorite shoes are my lems cause barefoot shoes make my feet hurt less, but a close second are my tuks witch are the exact opposite at a 3 inch platform
My favorite pair of shoes is this Nike pair i've worn since i was ten lol. Anytime they get too beat up to wear I just buy the same pair. I haven't ever worn another
QOTW: sneakers for the gym, driving the stickshift Subaru...Muck Boots for Tiny Farm Problems except for summer when I can wear ...river sandals in the kayak...
Does a mermaid tail count as shoes????
i have two pairs of shoes: my sandals (birks) and my hiking boots! I guess i could count my snowboots too. i am more function over fashion
3:02 what's that plant in the back right corner?
You guys, I'm a science teacher. Inherited the classroom fish tank, 65 gallon long. Knew nothing. Went to my local pet store, guess what they told me? Guess? "Oh, everything in this row are non-aggressive school fish, you can get any combination". He then helped me pick out 6 goldfish (regular "feeder" goldfish, 6 Platies, and 6 rainbow fish. Four months later I'm on Zoom with my dad, he sees my fishtank in the living (brought the fishtank home), he starts laughing so hard. Then he tells me the gold fish are going to get huge...eat all the other fish, and live forever. Great. Just great. (the goldfish are now as big across as my palm and so are the Platies)
I would love to get goldfish and/or plecos someday but I simply do not have the space for fish that grow that big at this point in my life. Not gonna try and keep them in a 10 gal lol
Qotw I do a decent amount of running so I often wear my less aggressive running shoes around
I love this channel. It has motivated me to make my fish tanks better
Happy to hear that!
@@FishForThought:D
QOTW: any nike shows or adidas. Also Chris or anyone reading my comment, have you ever had your betta mantis shrimp a snail and then eat the flesh? Mine just did that while i tried to feed my assassin snail.
Air Force 1s laced nice and replace the soles with dr Schultz or some equivalent feels and looks good in my opinion.
I had a petco employee refuse to sell me White cloud minnows for my 10gl because my water was too cold, I have it at 70, she wanted 80.........
For Valentine's day, my wife gave me a used fish tank because I've been wanting some fish for a long time. The woman dropped it off with 4 mollys and a female beta (all with white spot disease) which she said i could keep or 'swap out'. I don't have it in my heart to let these poor fish die, but I'm so out of my depth. I had planned to plan something out, instead I was setting up a tank after an emergency petsmart visit within a few hours. Any suggestions for what plants are good for beginners and if i can still add any of the fish I'd originally planned? 10 gal. right now, to be upgraded to a 20 gal. within the year. I had originally planned snails, shrimp, African dwarf frogs x2, a couple of small plecos, and a little school of tetras.
Petsmart told me I was good with just a gravel base and would be able to add most plants since the roots aren't really planted, now I'm kicking myself that I'll have to redo the substrate to make it planted down the road.
I've been researching bettas since I plan on getting one soon, though I can't advise you on anything molly-related. The frogs, plecos, and tetras will most likely get along with the betta, but shrimp and snails it very much depends on the betta. Some bettas are chill about them, but others see their invert tank mates as tasty snacks. Some species of snail and shrimp are more likely to end up food than others.
@Ariento thanks! Good advice. I'll probably hold off on the tetras since I've already got the little school of Mollys and I don't want to overcrowd.
Our local petco is pretty good too. They have size charts with tank requirements for the fish posted. Right to refuse sale posted and other signs .one example "pea puffers need other peas. Must be adopted in groups"
I'm currently in the process of setting up a shrimp tank and I will use live plants
Oh! The first video is actually a rescue! That bowl wasn’t there, and if I’m remembering correctly, that one’s a temporary tank until he’s rehomed!
HELLO A THIRD TIME, CHRIS!! :D
I wear cowboy boots all day everyday lol it keeps it easy to get ready cause it always goes with my bluejeans and i dont have to think about what to wear on my lower half just have to figure out my shirt
So now that I know what hydra look like, I guess I need to figure out how to get rid of them. I've been noticing tiny, threadlike green things on the glass of one of my betta tanks, and wondering about them. I looked them up, and it says they can get in on plants or other decor, or even just with dust in the house. I suspect the last, because it's an open tank, and I haven't put any new plants or hardscape in there recently. I had no idea they could be so tiny, but I looked very closely and sure enough, that's what they are, alright. Crap.
QOTW: I'm totally obsessed with sneakers and boots. I don't think I can pick just one favorite pair, though. I might be able to list my 10 favorites, but even that would be pushing it! Fishkeeping is one obsession. Fashion is the other. Oh. And cats.
My favorite pair of shoes are my old leathrr demonia platform knee high boots.
So my 180 litre (around 47 gallon) is all cycled (finally) and Im planning on getting fish this thursday. Im planning on getting a pair of apistogramma, ember tetras, some otocinclus and another tetra species and very maybe if I settle on 1 tetra species a honey gourami. I need advise on the numbers, how many tetras, how many species in one tank so I decided to get to chirs's comment section for help. Tank is 101x41x50 cm (Juwel rio 180 if anybody wondering) and planted. Any advise will help. Happy FTR monday everyone!
You need to add your fish slowly as in one species at a time give it a few weeks before adding the next species. Allowing the filter and water quality of adding livestock not to crash. Add your smallest inhabitants 1st.
My favorite type of shoes are those cursed separated toe ones. Look silly but they are freakin comfortable
thanks for the upload chris these fish tanks are something else especailly the bad ones xD take care and have a good monday
My Monday is made!
Never kept my predatory fish in bare tanks.. always planted and decored. Black aro's, peacock bass's, stingrays etc :) Harder work, but testing testing testing untill you find plants you don't give a flying pig for :P
Midnight blue soft leather Doctor Martens 😁👍
Qotw: my pair of well- worn, “bluntstone” leather boots. Comfortable, and they look good with my usual jeans/flannel attire
My paddock riding boots are my favorite shoes
My Oscar is in a 90 with a feather fin catfish they share the space well but I’ve been saving up to upgrade them to a 1000-2000 gallon L tank have always felt bad for my Oscar being in these large tanks he’s went from a 5gal when he was an injured baby to a 55 to a 75 to finally a 90 with his tank mate next will be the big upgrade
hey dude i just wanna let u know that on my 2nd channel i will be showing my new tank for my neon and guppies ill link it next week do you wind reviewing it any advice is good
Hey, I bought a 41-gallon fish tank, and it came with blue gravel. Shall I change the gravel or keep it?
saran wrap so betta can't jump?
Loafers because I'm going for the casual gentleman look.
I think the tank is small for that huge gorgeous oscar fish
hey, FFR, im having a small issue, im trying to plan my first large / hobby grade tank( a 55 and or 75 gallon ) and im trying to see if the fish i have planned would go together ( and or be overstocked ) 1 aftrican butterfly fish 3 red lizard whiptail catfish, then 1 banjo catfish ( if you have any middle tank "schooling" fish, please reply with that species ( i'd like for them not to be to big, as all of my fish are catfish, so they cant be to small, )
Oh yeah my Monday is complete
