I find these fish great as Algae eaters. I have lots of Platties living with a musk turtle. They spend all day eating the Algae of the back of the tank and off the leaves. I was surprised you did not mention them in your video on Algae eating fish. I think they would of done great in your Test to see who goes to eat the Algae. Love your Videos. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers.
Livebearers were the first fish I ever had. I eventually moved towards angels and then African cichlids. But returned to guppies and started a whole breeding project with them. Livebearers will always be special to me!
The live-bearers were the first community fish I was introduced to as a child. Swordtails & mollies were introduced to my native Trinidad and Tobago many years ago. In my youth I caught hundreds of green swordtails and a variety of Molly that I've not seen anywhere else... greyish silver body up to 4 & 1/2 inches long with metallic blue and/or green spotting in both its sailfin type dorsal & caudal. Very beautiful molly it was. I say was as I have not seen any for several years.
Fun fact: Dimetrodon isn't actually a dinosaur... it's a pelycosaur! They lived like 50 million years before dinos. My mind was blown when I learned that like 20 years ago at a conference.
Looking forward to the disease video. My female bettas stopped eating and I lost all of them. I don't know what it was, but none of the standard fungal / bacterial / salt treatment worked at the time. I never tried seachem medications but I heard they might have worked. Who knows.
Love the fishtory lessons and the jokes! ❤
