12:56 Chris Questioning his life
the CO2 hack thing was really good
I really thing I'm gonna use that in my tank(if mom let's me 😪)
Rosè (sorry if I Boched the name) looks like the female version of my very first beta. He had the same color pattern and his fins were also a beautiful red.
"Im gonna hide the heater behind the hardscape, like I hide my feelings from my family." Fish For Thought got way to real.
haha xD that line always gets me too
Too*
yes he did
@@DreacoPlays *sigh*
Ah yes, starting off the video with the first video I ever watched from Chris! … Which convinced me to get a 5 gallon for my betta and had me waiting a week to put him in the new tank 😁
Lets goo :)
same broooo
Same but I didn’t wait the week 😅
Chris, I totally cracked up at the comment about giving someone money for dirt and a tree branch. My hubby still teases me about ordering ROCKS online. Hey, it's DRAGON STONE. That's different! LOL
Jesus Marie, it’s Dragon Stone!
The first part if the video never gets old 😂 It is also what helped educate me on the fact that I needed a 5 gallon tank for my Betta (I was totally that ignorant first time Betta owner with a fish bowl 🤦🏻♀). Conrad the Betta is currently living his best life in his glass 5 gallon tank thanks to people like Chris!
I finally bred my first shrimp. Last night I saw a blue dream shrimplet ( but it could have been a pygmy cory fry or a green neon tetra fry idk as it was extremely fast)
Selling shrimp would be impossible for me as that particular aquarium is extremely heavily planted and I wouldn't want to destroy the scape. I do have some mbuna fry ( over 14 atm ) that I'm considering selling and some ramshorn snail colour morphs ( about 6 or 7 different morphs ) which I'm trying to bred including my pair of columbian ramshorns but idk if they are both the same gnder so that might never happen until I get a few more ( same with my mystery snails).
Epic any tips on breeding shrimp. I have about a 4 gallon tank that I want to breed shrimp in.
congratulations!!
@@philiptv3348 replying with my alt account as i cant use this one. lots of plants, stable parameters, gentle filter, adequate mix of boys and girls, established aquarium and lots of biofilm
As years goes by more people are getting into the hobby and the hobby is getting better and better with new innovations. I hope that there should be more responsible Fish Keepers out there. Peace. 😊
No no, you're right - I suck at fish tanks. 😂 I've had about 8 and a problem with every single one. So many re-scapes because I messed something up.
Also my kids thought this video was hilarious. Thanks for the laughs! 😁
Haha I think we all suck to some degree xD Everybody messes up so much in this hobby it's hilarious. Super glad your kids like it!
hello!! i just wanted to give some advice here: water from cycled tanks do not contain enough BB to start a cycle. most BB is in the filter or on surfaces like substrate, decor, or even plants! a simple way to cycle is to take some used filter media and slap it into the uncycled tank for a few days to a week! a lot easier!
“Place the stones in a way that’s pleasing to you or just copy what I’m doing Don’t worry I won’t tell your friends your a copy cat”
“I’m going to hide the heater behind the hard scape like I hide my feelings from my family”
“If you weren’t too busy trying to get Stacy’s attention”
“Stacy if your watching this please give me another chance,I’m still not over you”
“Next step is to remember the awesome fish tanks you saw at the Fish store And cry because yours will never look as good as theirs”
Best lines ever
istg your sarcasm in these clips its the best thing i experienced today, also felt called out when you said "i go to work everyday so that i can buy rocks 😀" since the notification of this video popped up while i was filling my amazon cart with Ohko stones and fluval stratum (planning to scape my third fish tank 😔🤌🏻)
LMAO perfect timing xD
I enjoyed this video so much. It was both informative and entertaining.
I've been working on switching out from a 5gal tank to a 10gal for my little dude, and this was very easy to follow.
Thank you
🤣🤣🤣 The video where you slapped that plastic container off the top of table was the first video I watched! Was laughing so hard ~ haven't missed a video since! 🤗 Can't see pink gravel in the petshop without thinking of you! Thanks for the memories 😎
aw man
this is the crossover i didn’t know i needed
YASSSS... i'm taking a break from studying for exam and this video got uploaded. HELLYEA
Me too!!!!
Me too!! Expect I wasn't really studying 😂
Same😅
My first video I watched here ever...I am no longer getting a betta for my tank, but it was thoroughly inspired by your betta tutorial.
The videoes were amazing. It's the kinda sarcasm that teaches you something.
Chris in the tutorial being so truthful and savage i love it
xD yessir
i love this episode sm, i hope you make more episodes of this.
1:04 This one always has me in tears XD
"I go to work everyday so I can by rocks!"
-Fish For Thought, 2022
THE FIRST FISH LOOKS LIKE MY LIL GIRL APOLLO! I named her after the space program because she jumps for blood worms….and will try to jump out at you when excited 😂
The moment you are opening that pink thing and almost pouring into the tank, I'm like no way he gonna use that lol then the bin showed up haha
I just want to say that you are a gentle soul and I like your videos very much! Keep the good work!
I love that CO² method. I'm thinking it looks too complex for now so I'll just put a hose on an air stone and breathe out of it into the tank.
that was cool how you left one tank with just light, plants, and soil for a month and it grew so nicely
Why did my new mysteries snails both die on the second day? One the first day they crawled and moved a bit but after that they didn't move and began to smell. Thank you!
I don't completely remember the first fish video I watched when I got into fish in 2020, but I remember enjoying this series a lot with the sarcasm, editing, minecraft music and general great information! 5/5 keep up the great content as always! Definitely the reason I got black gravel and my first piece of driftwood that my parents totally judged me for. Totally worth it and now that same tank is finally fully planted!
This was my favourite series.
Off topic but I'm telling everyone, I woke up yesterday to a big swarm of baby kribensis!!! So excited, and it is an all natural planted 50gal long.
We need more of this series!
For anyone that has an existing tank put any inert filter media you have lying around in, when you set up your next tank you can simply put a piece of that cycled media in or next to your filter, as most poop and uneaten food will flow there, I personally have never had fish die because the piece of old media wasn't enough to detoxify the water, you might wanna do more frequent water changes and gravel vacuuming for the first week though.
“I could cry if I had feelings” 😂
I literally just got that same aquascaping kit in the mail today.
love the sass and scapes! very nice video
Chris: i don’t think you suck at fish tanks, it’s a joke for the title
Us: you heard it here first folks, Sempai refuses to notice us
Since my parents used to own a LFS, we still have a whole warehouse full of tanks. Despite that fact, I just ordered a white glass nano tank with rounded edges and I blame you entirely. I miss my channa but I'm still grieving and it's probably gonna be a while before I feel up to getting another snakehead, so for now, I'll start project betta. Already looking forward to my new friend.
Ty for this video. My PTSD got triggered today and this video got me grounded and relaxed again. Ty
Proud of you getting your exercise in!
"Many people use pink gravel, and they're all good people... they just deserve to die." Bruh imma need to be picked up after that one
Hey chris, to cycle your tank even faster, put some existing filter media from a cycled tank into an uncycled tank, or use existing substrate.
yes indeed, but thanks for the tip, it's great!
Hey, I recently discovered your channel after I bought a betta fish and I fell in love with aquascaping and how you set up your tanks.
I have a major question and I hope you see this. What is your opinion on the Fluval 5 gallon tank? Anytime I try and feed my Betta the food either sinks or goes away due to the filter being too strong even on the lowest setting, and I also noticed he kinda hugs the filter. The petco clerk even suggested to not use the filter for the tank bc it’s so small, but I feel like it’s a waste of money to even have the tank. Should I return it for another option?
Do you suggest I get a 5gal similar to what you have in your “how to” video and then get a attachable filter?
If you see this could you please link what you used?!! Thanks so much.
Bettas don't like a strong current. A sponge filter is the best choice or you can super glue some filter media to the discharge of your power filter to break up the flow.
You can use a floating feeder ring to place the food to avoid the current and I recommend using tweezers to hold the food (blood worms, flakes, tubifex worms etc) live food is best, frozen is a good second choice. Breeding brine shrimp in a 2 or 3 gallon container is pretty easy and your Betta will love it. Watching a Betta hunt for the 10-15 brine shrimp is very entertaining. If you get another 5 or 10 gallon set it up planted and add guppies or similar small fish and feed them the extra brine shrimp 🦐.
@@ComancheWarrior63 Totally agree on this! And my bettas love to eat from tongs, maybe this would be worth a try? They'll jump for it, so maybe be careful but it's so cute!
@@sneekyalexa2657 It's pretty easy to find tweezers that come with protective rubber tips. The purpose is to avoid injury and they are removed before use. If you leave the protective tips on then they are safe for use in feeding fish.
If you are looking for a long pair of tweezers then I suggest searching for stainless steel surgical tweezers. They are available in several lengths and won't rust.
@@ComancheWarrior63 thanks. I think the best option for me is to just return my fluval 5 gallon and then get a rimless 5gallon and then add in a sponge filter like you suggested. I’ll save a ton of money then. But then what should I do about a Lid cap for the tank so he won’t jump out?😩
@@smokinaces8133 cover the surface with floating plants. Pick a variety of plants for the aesthetics. Make sure you pick plants that are small in size. By choosing 2 or 3 varieties you can get a very picturesque scene as some plants will have longer roots, you have a variety of leaf shape and slight variation of color. This will also be beneficial because the Betta will often come close to the surface to look for food.
The surface vegetation is a visual clue for the Betta or any other fish of the location of the surface and usually prevents the fish from leaping out of the tank.
You can also get a clear cover with spacers so there is a gap between the tank and cover. This allows good air circulation but water may condense on the cover if the water is several degrees warmer than the air temperature.
Another option is to cover the tank with a nylon or plastic screen.
I would even recommend, with financial consideration, that you consider upgrading to a 10 gallon or possibly even a 20 gallon long. This allows you to have additional livestock such as shrimp, guppies (no more than 10), one of the very tiny loaches, small freshwater crab, small snails, more land mass for aqua scaping (plants, stone, wood). Your Betta may decide to eat the shrimp, snails and baby guppies but that's very good food and what they would do in a natural habitat. A dense carpet of short aquatic ground cover will help with predation. You should also consider a resting place for your Betta. There are a variety of available options such as a ledge that attaches with a suction cup. If you have tall background plants you can get an artificial "cave", also suction cup, that you can hide in the vegetation. Or my way, super glue several lightweight stones (pumice stone, slate, shale and corral) together and then attach it to the tank using aquarium safe silicone.
My husband and I had a good laugh at your bit about Staci, lol! I always look forward to your videos. Keep 'em coming! ❤️👍
me: having a bad day
FFT: posted
me: ALL MY PROBLEMS ARE GONE
I have some co2 capsules to whipp cream laying arround. I just don't put cream in thr creamer and spray a bit of the gas in the direction of my sponge filter pump once a day. It doesn't get much simpler than that
I am still experimenting with it, so i would not recommend to do this without care
I like to start the cycle with snails, I have some nice rams. And an algae wafer once and a while.
I actually love the music in your videos!
This was the series that made me subscribe to your channel. 😹🍀
I've never commented before because I watch on my Xbox and it doesn't like to stay logged in to my TH-cam account....I picked up my phone this time because I have to thank u for helping educate people and keeping it funny!! 👏
The betta video is why I’m here. Also Chris, I am getting a filter that has a cartridge with a hole for water flow. If I switch it for a sponge instead of the cartridge should I cut a hole in it as well?
You can play around with it, see if it makes the flow of the filter different if you switch it to a sponge, and if it does, cut the same sized hole or until it matches the normal filtration speed with the cartridge :)
I literally watched the first video yesterday lmao. The video that got me into this channel.
woohoo!!!
"Making a run for it" 🤣🤣🤣
Hey David copperfeel… hahaha 🤣
Nice job looks great
You have free will 0:44
My parents 🙅♂️🙅♀️
Step 1: Smash 2.5 gallon tank
Step 2: get 5 gallon tank
Step 3: put enough hard scape in to reduce water volume to 2.5 gallons
Step 4: smile
I swear these are the things I say to myself when I’m making a new aquarium!! Lol!
I learned the Nitrogen cycle in 6th grade. Huh. I love this lol---
i think it's time to get duckweed for my turtle. he might finally eat his veggies and all that duckweed will definitely purge all the ammonia
Time to help my girlfriends horrible fish tank
I’m finally giving guppies a try I’m so excited to try to breed them
So you’re telling me, that I need TWO MORE tanks? (I’m already getting a tank for guppies [btw tysm for this])
Watching your channel has re-Inspired me to get fish again
1:06 very wise
I've been looking everywhere what is the filter in this video? I can't find it on aquarium co-op
Wood magically floats in water because it's a witch.
i love this series!!! pls make moree
I always wonder though, why people put soooooo much hardscape and elevated substrate in. the amount here would easily make that 5 gallon tank only hold 2.5 - 3 gallons of water, not to mention limiting the area of free swim space. So aren't you effectively creating a tank that is too small? It's a real questions, I'm not being a smart alec, I've always wondered this as so many fish keepers crowd so dang much hardscape and bring the substrate up so high in the back...
At 10:16 are you sure that was Cabomba and not Limnophila Sessiflora?
And just to clarify the beneficial bacteria does not live inside of the tank water it lives on surfaces so adding the water will only add nitrates which may have tracked the bacteria but will just add to the nitrate level of your fish tank overall and ultimately bad for the fish
Awesome video, thank you for this! Wish I can get a similar tank as the 1st one you scaped for a betta one some day😁
But I’m 72! Thanks for remembering me...🐟 Boi. 😝
i had to stop the video cause i was laughing soo much at 2:15 lmfaooo
What brand were the tanks with the curved edges?
Bubble wrap works way better shrink wrap that you're using to fill up your fish tank it floats way better when you fill it up with water
10:40 You used the Amano cheat code!
Hey Chris
Any advice on what to avoid from organic potting soil?
Unrelated to the video, but when are you going to do an update on your tanks. I'm getting even more excited after getting a little peak of your ADA 60p background thing in this week's FTR. It looks kind of like lava rock with some epiphytes embedded throughout.
Still my favorite ever
Where did you get the tank and the stones ?
Doesn’t duck weed cut out sun light and oxygen from the tank?
Canada is not as cold as people think but only some places can get as cold as canada
Question: Can I take a rock from my yard and use it if I boil it to kill any pathogens? Or would it be a toxic material?
I do that all the time, same with wood. Totally fine, as long as it’s not a calcium rich stone. River rocks and granite always work!
@@amyellison1800 ty
You said that you could put existing fish tank water into a tank start the cycle what might help start it putting used filter media in there is way more useful
thank you sooo much for this
Make sure to test the water parameters before introducing the fish, my nitrogen cycle took like two months
How many famales bettas can live together?
I hadn’t seen the fish bowl one before 💀 💀 💀
Hey can someone tell me what filter that was in the Betta tank?
i have an empty 10 gallon and i hope to scape it with silk plants and a nice hard scape (i hope to keep a betta and a snail in it)
I just seriously laughed so hard! Thanks I needed that!
don't worry even the experts still make some of the most common mistakes as an overthought
The betta one inspired me to get a 5 gallon along with my 29
*when you learned the nitrogen cycle in grade 6 because you got into fish keeping: laughs*
Have you ever kept a crayfish?
Perfecto
I am surprise you didn't use lava rock for your hard scape
Ooo yes nice under the desk trash can 🤔🤣
Chris broke the beta fish tank so hard like how Stacy broke his heart😢…….. 😂😂😂😂
LMAO
Omg😮😮😮😮 I can’t believe you commented
I am freaking out
You don’t need citric acid per see vinigar is just fine
keep doing what your doing, who cares if a couple people are offended about your title, its an obvious joke :)
