HAPPY NEW YEAR FISH KEEPERS 🎉🎉🎉
Happy new year to you too, and keep you hands wet throughout this year as well
I is fesh
Happy new year's
Happy New Year! ☺
Happy new year (I worked today too😢)
That saltwater tank was way over stocked. The corals were perfect, but the yellow and hippo tangs need bigger tanks. The small convict was okay. And damsels are a good choice. But Dory and the yellow one are not going to be okay long term.
so true my friend. i submitted that tank with the permission of the owner. The tank was a mess when i got to it and already heavily overstocked including all the tangs. Together the owner and I worked out a better maintenance plan and feeding schedule, refugium, wavemaker, and a few other changes that really helped turn the water chemistry around. It made the fish all so much less stressed and allowed corals to thrive. but the poor tangs are definitely not an apropriate stocking choice for the auarium size. The hippo tang especially really needs much more space. But the owner is very attached to the fish and is determined to keep them. I will admit i am shocked at how little stress the fish in this tank exibit but definitely this heavy stocking with the large fish is not good to emulate.
Correct me if I'm wrong as I just picked up a 40 gallon last night for my first reef tank, but one of the bigger channels I've been watching said on one of their videos that people will grow out yellow tangs in smaller tanks and use them as a utilitarian fish for algae control, and trade them out for smaller ones as they outgrow the tank. Can't say the same for Dory, as they've all been saying stay away from them unless you have a really big tank, and fish that are a little tougher because Dory is actually one of the bigger jerks in the saltwater world.
I came to say the same thing.
@@_Clayton.Bigsby_ you're not wrong, and you totally can do that, but moving fish from tank to tank can also be stressful experiences, so if you want a utilitarian fish like a tang that you don't have to get rid of, you could get an algae eating blenny
I’m pretty sure that convict tang is a sailfin tang, but still great advice!
QOTW! Fun fact about me: I am told that the first word I learned to read was "Zoo" from the road signs on our way to frequently visit the Minnesota Zoo. And now I'm zookeeper!
Cool❤
Aquatic Sealife is my local fish store. I have been shopping there since I got into the hobby. The new owners have been working hard to get the business going again in a new location. I am so sorry to see the tank failure. It's also crazy that I learned about the incident from FTR. I met the current business owner who shared his story with me. He said that he wanted to buy a large fish tank and ended up buying the whole business from the previous owners.
damn hope they recover
Looks like it happened in October 2023 and all but two fish and a lobster died, according to their FB page.
@@lalaithanF in the chat for all the aquatic souls lost that tragic night.
hope they are in a better situation!
They're my LFS as well and was also shocked to learn about this happening through FTR. What a shame!
I found a tape worm crawling out of my substrate after setting up a new dirted tank. I plucked it out with tweezers and luckily it seems to have been the only one. Everything used was store bought. I can only assume the sand or soil can have dormant eggs.
That's seriously gross! But yes, the eggs are pooped out by wildlife coming to drink from a stream or pond so if you did full nature dirted from a local water source you prob got some critter poop too.😉✌️
@@laurabustos6560lmao calling worms "gross" is so stupid. Your substrate should be full of worms. Detritus worms.
@@dimitrijekrstic7567yes
Man, I feel bad for that fish store owner. That's a devastating loss.
yeah :( heartbreaking, especially to open the store to a floor full of water and dead fish...
It especially sucks because owning a fish store is not like a normal business. The profit margins can be very tight, it's a ton of work and upkeep, and the property insurance for a place holding thousands of gallons of water is going to be ridiculously expensive. It's a business that people go into for the passion, so for that owner I'm sure it was emotionally devastating to walk in the next morning and see that :/
@@FishForThoughtI kinda wonder how common it is, since it happened to Cory/Aquarium Coop, too.
Everything Jumps. My Kholi Loach launched himself out of the tank through the feeding hold, thought he was a pile of poop on the ground.
Found him probably minutes before he dried out, survived a 4 foot drop and being out of the water till he was sticky instead of wet. Still alive a year later.
qotw: I found an abandoned Chihuahua in the street, on my birthday, less than 24 hours after telling a friend that I did not want a small dog. It's been 8 years now and Frodo is still my sweet little Hobbit boy (he's the one in my pic) and currently on my lap as I type this 💜
That's the sweetest thing 💖
Aw, my husband found out first chihuahua in the street. She had run out in front of his car and there was a woman nearby watering her lawn and when he asked her if it was her dog she said "yes do you want her?" He had never had small dogs and now he says he'll never live without a Chihuahua!
The universe was like challenge accepted and happy birthday all in one
I once wanted to try doing a fancy scape, in an open top tank, with the driftwood sticking out at the top, but I was worried about fish jumping out, and went to Google to see if there were any fish that are not tempted to try carpet surfing. There, I found a valuable piece of information on one of the forums, that will stay with me for the rest of my life: "The only fish that doesn't jump is a dead one."
Lids for life. I ain't risking it.
The scariest thing I've ever seen in my tank was my adult turtle pooping out a very long tapeworm. I don't have the funds to take him to an exotic vet and talked to my local fish and reptile store. Apparently turtles can be treated with the same type of dewormer as dogs but in a smaller dose. The reptile lady also said turtles live in the wild with all kinds of parasites and it's been months with no further developments.
Always wash your plants before adding them to your tank! Learned that the hard way.
Still can't get over the explosion proof dinosaur egg fish tank ...
QOTW: I am somehow allergic to penicillin. Had to take some when I was like 4-5ish and it caused my whole body to break out in hives, so basically if I ever need antibiotics, I gotta pony up the money for the rare stuff.
Those hippo tangs (the yellow fish in the salt water tank) need a bigger tank. The corals are perfectly maintained tho❤
some good news and bad news I guess!
Happy New Year!
QOTW: I once caused an intruder alarm to go off at a missle silo by taking a piss. And no, I am NOT joking
Oops.
Let me guess, prior military? 🤣
😂😂😂
"Explosion proof" usually means that it won't create electronic sparks in environments with flammable gas. Which is of course a very relevant criterium for a fish tank...
Oh, I thought it meant that if/when it falls it won’t just shatter and explode lol
Just got my new and first betta fish, Chris! She's a beautiful halfmoon. Already getting her to learn tricks like jumping out of the water for food!
QOTW: One of the most interesting things about me has to be that an alligator tried to attack me when I was younger and was about an inch away from me with it's jaws opening when I saw and ran away. 🤧
I tripped over an alligator once. You really have to pay attention down here. 😂😂😂
@@sammygirl6910 Yep. 🤣
Ayy, same here, got too close to a nest when I was like 6 or 7 and had to book when the angry mama gator came out of the water
@@nunaalsoknownasohare6388 Yikes 😬🤣
There are "plants" for marine tanks you know. Long as you're not trying to keep any ultra sensitive corals, you can do a marine walstad equivalent by filling it with macroalgaes
This might be a dumb question, but couldn't a person keep sea grass in an aquarium? Or is it a space/lighting issue?
@@anacsadder Not an ideal type of macroalgae for an aquarium because of it's growth habit and preferred conditions. There are a number of varieties available in the trade that will do well in room temperature water, or with a small heater.
Yo Chris, thanks for showing up with it every Monday, without fail.
Happy new year, the best way to start the year is a healthy dose of FISH TANK REVIEW 🐟❤️
(Fun Fact in highschool I earned the name FishWhisperer because I set up a bunch of fish tanks in my school)
Also yah. Everything jumps, my pleco stinky jumped out of the tank the other day, I have had him for about three or so years now. He seemed to have somehow dislodged the lid, and destroyed his belly scales and fins. He has big open sores, I don’t know how long he was on the floor for, I found him under a blanket when I happened to decide to clean up my room. Now he is grumpy in a 20 gallon hospital tank. Hoping for a speedy recovery for that huge stinker.
great name for a pleco and glad he survived!
Happy New Year!!!
😂 stinky is the name of my large albino male bn pleco.
Speedy recovery to your stinky friend 😅
@@grenwood6551 hhahah ohhh a fellow stinky!
QotW: Several years ago I learned how to spin and eat fire. At the time I was part of a small performance troupe trying to do it full time, now I do it just for fun or parties. It's always fun when you are doing work icebreakers to open up with "I theatrically eat and light myself on fire for fun" or to just generally say you play with fire for fun.
Happy New year Everyone! Hope it was a good time!
Fun fact relevant to the channel. I have been bitten by a piranha and yet I still find it safe to swim in a river with piranhas. To be fair the bite was in self defense since I had it out of the water.
As always, Another Monday made great!! Thank you for making such fantastic fish content!!! Happy new year everyone!
always! 2024 is brimming with more FTR!
"Could you not have showcased your container in anything other than a tictac container?"
Brilliant.
Gosh they even *show* you that's too ridiculously small for a goldfish
Oh geez, read about that tank in the comment and it is *definitely* too small for tangs. They need at least a 6 ft tank
You can tell the blue tang is too big, the little sailfin tang is gonna be getting huge, and even the yellow tang needs a minimum of a 4ft tank with bigger being better
There's also a few damselfish in there and these guys get pretty aggressive, especially as they get older, pretty sure that striped damsel is one of the most aggressive...
Panda garra on the leaf is so cute tho
Fun fact - the Great Barrier Reef is larger and healthier than any point in its recording!
Notification for this video caught me browsing for a new tank online, so... thank you from my wallet I guess. Qtwa: Usually I'd go with the fact that as a child, I caught malaria on a trip to Zimbabwe. We were staying in a kind of luxury tree house and what I took for fever hallucinations turned out to be my parents trying to remove a Giant African Bullfrog from the canopy of my bed. >>' If we're going with fish related facts, I once got to feed and pet Longfin Eels in a pond in New Zealand.
While commercial fishing in Alaska I’d see 7 to 12 bears a day and had to scare them out of my nets. I’ve almost been charged by a momma with cubs, and saw one bear that looked as big as a 90’s ford Taurus. Fun fact, many times you can smell them coming before you see them and they smell freaking terrible after hibernation!
The guy who had the cups thrown at his tank needs a temu tank
Fun fact: I'm a taxidermist (not professionally, just for anatomy study for my artwork), usually gives people a good shock in those awkward introduction stages😂
Also can you make a video on Repashy? Maybe his tank set up? I just got my 2nd crested gecko and i am so in love with them! One is in his own bioactive enclosure and i am currently setting up a bioactive enclosure for my recent crested gecko edition. Love your content so much, and my guy doesnt even take holidays, the commitment to the FTR is 5/5
Those tangs need a bigger tank for sure. Especially that Dory.
Also OrbitKat doesn't seem to have otos as said in the video. Those are pygmy cories! I adore those little guys and have a small school of my own.
Thanks for posting on New Year’s Day! 🩷
thanks so much again for the support, hope you enjoyed this episode! Happy New Year!!!
Temu going wild with these fish tanks💀 I love having my fish tanks explosion proof!
it is very important to have in a fish tank, explosion proof...
@@FishForThought indeed, especially breaking the floor with a tiny tank made from plastic
If it’s explosion proof then the Arabs can get it 😂
🤣
Happy FTR day and Happy New Year everyone! Wishing all a super productive, joyous and refreshing 2024!! May we all have many fishy adventures and spoil our pets like crazy!
Edit; fun fact, in the Victorian era ladies would buy capsules of tapeworm to ingest as a "proven diet aid" 😅
QotW; I died as a 2 y/o. I drowned in my grandma's pool cause my mom was arguing on the phone and not watching me. My grandma's trusty yellow lab Topaz saved me and alerted my grandma who was elsewhere on her property, I had sunk to the bottom of the pool by then and she had to pump all the water out of my lungs while waiting for paramedics. I was in a coma for a month and the doctors thought I would be severely brain damaged, non verbal. I'm sure if this happened when I was older I wouldn't have made it, but young kids are just so resilient!✌️😉
Happy New Year!!!
Oh my goodness, that is indeed a very very interesting fact. that is crazy :0
Fun fact: Tapeworm eggs are still sold today in diet pills from dodgy online sites. They help you lose weight by stealing your nutrients, but people have died from the worms infecting their brain.
Thanks so much Chris for posting on such an important day! You got me into aquascaping for sure!
I used to have a cat who could use the toilet. And he would show off for new people. Whenever someone he didn't know came over, he would go pee in the toilet. He was my favorite fat black kitty and I miss him so. 😢😢
My go to fun fact about myself is that I was bit by a blue and gold macaw (type of parrot) at the parrot rescue I work at and he gave me nerve damage in my middle finger. His name was Rocco and I despise him to this day.
I have the tiny 3 in 1 filter - I use it for my endler and white cloud fry rearing tanks, and my daphnia rearing tank. with plants etc... and both are only about 7 litres
I was gonna say, it looks like the one the sea monkey channel uses for aerating his tanks.
QOTW: Everything in my life is ghosts. I've always liked ghosts, a lot of my friends even call me Ghosty as a nickname. Where it gets weird is the number of things that should be unrelated that end up being actually ghost adjacent in the long run. My favorite animal? Ring-tailed lemur. The latin root of the word lemur means "ghost". Didn't know that til I was an adult, I've loved the little guys since I was like six years old.
Several of my favorite flowers have ended up having ghost legends associated with them in their native ranges.
Even my beautiful trans spouse is not immune. We just found out this week that the name they chose as their new middle name is also associated with ghosts/spirits.
(Also yes, I do keep ghost shrimp why do you ask?)
HAPPY NEW YEARRR
There was the one time, I did a wall and body painting with my poo.
I was 7months and managed to get out of pampers while I was doing midday sleeping alone in the child's room.
Idk how much this can say about me but it's hilarious
I don't own a saltwater tank but im saving up for one and researching but i do know that dory needs a big tank i don't know about the other fish but i think the yellow one has the same problem.
Qotw: because of a doctor being stupid and not realizing i had strep throat i ended up laying in a hospital bed with scarlet fever for 9 days without eating any ACTUAL food. Usually i would just say "I've gone 9 days without eating " though.
I’m having my betta watch this from his planted 10 gallon aquarium so he knows how loved he is.
Starting the new year with FTR, let's go folks!
I put the biggest tank I could fit in the corner with the slanted ceiling. Can't open the lid flap all the way and have to take it all off to work on stuff. Yes, think about clearance if you don't exactly know what to expect yet.
Don't forget to get your elbows wet!!! Omg Chirs I just spent the afternoon hacking at my jungle in the big aquarium so YES I did get my elbows wet and now I'm TIReD! and watching this cheered me up. Fun fact: I got towed by a fish (pike) when fishing from a kayak once!
I was trying to net a minnow from my tank about a month ago and homie jumped out and onto my counter, then when I tried to pick him up he flopped onto the floor...I did not feel like the best fish keeper that day, even though that tank has a lid and it was only off to get him out
happy new year!!! i've been watching your videos all of december and my 2024 resolution is: become an official fish keeper. im starting on setting up my tank this month and possibly getting my fish next month!
Everyone else is sleeping in New Years day, but Repashy and Millie are still here making quality content
omg i guess so LOL
cries
HAPPY NEW YEAR 🥳🥳🥳
Also question for anyone kind enough to give advice 🥹
I recently set up my first fish tank which is 10 gallons. I have 4-5 amano shrimp and 2 otocynclets. The shrimp and otos are thriving but i have 2 snails 🐌 that died when they ate, what i believe to be poop and waste at the bottom of the fish tank 😔 both snails were always fine on the walls of the tanks and surface but when they start eating the waste on the bottom they die and I don’t know how to prevent this 😞 if anyone could shed some light as to what I could do differently I would really appreciate it 😔
The outro makes watching the entire video worth it.
Qotw. I don't go outdoors on new years eve anymore bc for *many* years the times I did, I had to dodge cars. Too many close calls, and some were just ridiculous! Even inside isn't always safe. Couple times I had cars narrowly avoid making my sitting room a drive in. 2023 ended safely. I stayed in cars stayed out.
finally set up my 5 gallon tank got my fish 4 days ago the tank is cycled his name is bubble :)
Nice! What fish is he?
Happy New Year to my favorite fish tuber! Here’s to a year of amazing content and fish tank reviews.
The other day at work I looked at the fish tanks while stuck in register and saw a little blood parrot cichlid that was all white swimming around in one of the tanks. Little dude was really cute and it almost made me want to get him. I had to stop myself because I don’t have a tank big enough for him, nor do I have the space for what I would consider the bare minimum for a parrot cichlid (55 gallons minimum for a smaller one before tank upgrades). A girl can dream though lol
Qotw: I was born with a rare genetic disease (luckily not bad enough to cause anything too detrimental) that causes my eyes to have harmless brown flecks of colour in them called lisch nodules.
Lol not Chris thinking "explosion-proof" meant it was promising to protect against grenades and not just stating they're elminating the possiblity of the tank exploding (usually the result of weak silicone seams, weak glass, uneven surfaces etc)
6:00 it's not really a completely aquatic plant, but Lucky Bamboo is a species of Dracaena. Those tend to go well in aquariums.
Fun fact: Surprised my Dutch teacher by getting good grades at my VWO(Dutch A-levels) finals (making a comprehensive article excerpt and an essay) while all year my grades sucked because she didn't understand how I think and I didn't understand what she expected from me. But hey, that's often the life of neurodivergents. Besides, Dutch literature sucks because they still don't take fantasy and scifi seriously as legit genres!
Btw, usually nearly every A-level candidate lands a failing grade on the comprehensive article excerpt but they usually compensate that with other grades.
QOTW: I once flayed my pointer finger open with a table saw, then had to have 12 stitches put in to sew it back together!
I just got out the hospital and cringing at terrible tanks is what I need as a distraction thank you broski 😎😎
QOTW: I once fell down a railroad embankment and impaled myself on a a broken metal fence post. It went in through my armpit.
3:50 it's like cucumber infused water, but with fish, for your carnivorous pets
Happy new year to all of you ❤️
Apparently my grandfather's words of fatherly wisdom to my dad in his teens were: Sex is not a frog, it doesn't jump away.
I remember trying to breed platies and swordtails. All my swordtails disappeared in the afternoon. The tank was in my room. The swordtails jumped out in the back of the tank wen I was at school. Only some of the platies followed after
I know next to nothing about saltwater tanks and even I know that it was over stocked and some of the fish (specifically the blue tang aka Dory fish) need a far bigger tank than that.
I was indeed eating breakfast and FRUIT when the tapeworm part came💀
Maybe that first fish tank is for if you want to get those crazy shrimp (pistol shrimp)that can break glass by sending shockwaves as loud as a gunshot.
happy new year!!! thanks for making these videos!
I just spent 2 hours cleaning my 55 gallon tank… time to watch some FTR 😅
Edit: yes I know 2 hours is excessive but I like my fish tank set up and I need it as clean as it can get for my own sanity
the only thing the break proof explosion proof dinosaur egg seems maybe good for is transporting fish? maybe? if its that spillproof and everything, itll probably survive me disobeying the laws of the road because free bird came up on the radio and its the guitar solo and my high rollover risk honda winds up overturned in a ditch. and then explodes. itd be good to know my fish would be okay :)
Good quality acrylic is just as good as glass, even better than glass for large tanks.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Amazing video as always, definitely made me laugh!
QOTW: I got my scuba diving certificate last year (at the age of 11).
Happy Monday and happy new year ❤
Reefer here. Nice corals and fish but a Sailfin, dory, and a yellow tang is too much! Dory needs like a 5ft tank. Yellow tang can stay but dory and Sailfin need to go. 2.5/5 for fish but 4.5/5 Scape
the first egg shaped thing would be great for photographing snails and shrimp or as a short term transport for smaller fish. but other then growing plants in there its pretty useless otherwise
9:00 No! Oh, no...
EDIT: But.... kind of guilty snickering at the motion sensor putting boxes around all the splashing water...
Happy new year 🎉 I am so sad rn I came back the 31 of December from vacation and my oranda goldfish was missing out of its tank all the fish was there and we realised it was a cat climbing threw the window .
I’m getting a Temu tank but it’s not a bowl,looks at least 2 gallons and is temporary (I’m using it to put my fish in during a water change) so not all tanks are awful from websites like Temu
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 🎉😊
I was really glad to see Chris knows to question that saltwater stocking. Those fish are healthy but will quickly outgrow the tank (if not already)
had a feelin!
I have 3 of those lil filters i got them off of amazon for less. I have 1 in my 2.5 gallon planted shrimp bowl and 1 in each of my 1 gallon sea monkey bowls
Bonne et heureuse année 😊 Happy new year all ^^
My mom once put a betta in a vase when I was younger, even I thought it looked wrong, but that thing lived for 1 year. It never ate fish food, it just ate plants. When I turned 12 and got a 9 gallon for my betta, it only lived 10 months. Just..WHY????? I had a filter, I always changed the water, I regularly tested the water. Does it make sense that my fish freaking DROPPED DEAD?
We had a betta live a few years in vases (surviving multiple breaks due to cats who liked to drink his water). Tho we did feed him and regularly changed his water (I was a kid and my mom didn’t know better, we did do our best to take care of him with the knowledge we did have, keeping him in larger vases and whatnot). When I got a betta later, 5 gallon tank with a heater and a filter and some plants and semi-regular water changes, he only lived six months. Really don’t get it.
QOTW: My fact is I'm missing one of my front top teeth, but you can't tell at first glance!
I knocked the baby tooth loose on a table when I was very little and when I finally lost it, the adult tooth just never grew in. I don't have any gaps or anything, so it worked out!
Also, the saltwater tank was gorgeous, but definitely too small for the Hippo and Sailfin Tang (i thought I saw it?). There were a lot of fish in it for a reef tank. The corals were stunning though! I wish the owner luck with the bubble tip anemones because the display tank at the store I work at is being taken over by them 😅 (but I love it and they're so fun to feed when our clarkii clown decides she doesn't need to attack me when i put my hand in the tank.)
Wow a transparent fish tank what will they think of next
That explosion proof betta tank will only go through ammonia, nitrates and nitrite explosions.
My fun fact. I also had tape worms as a child. But believe it or not more then 85% of ppl also have tape worms one point in their lives and still do.
You missed the tetra in with the goldfish in the pet fountain in the beginning of the video 😂
Fun fact about myself!
I stepped on an exacto-knife when I was 4!
Happy New Year Chris! 🎉
fun fact: I have myopia in my left eye, so I am short sighted both physically and philosphically.
i got a 20gal with plants wood rocks from Canada ,shrimp and guppy's
i have lived less than 3 hours away from the ocean for 27 years, yet i have never seen it in person
HAPPY NEWYEAR!!
The answer to the salt water tank is a simple one, if the fish are healthy and happy it’s just fine how it is.
I love because I wasn't loved and care because I wasn't cared for. I wanted people to feel safe loved and protected in my presence.
Thanks so much my mondays are always better with monday chris criticizim
I love your fishy videos
thx for these vids Chris cuz my fish are addicted to them.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!!!
I got a question for daphnia if anybody has any information, firstly is a 1 gallon good for cultivating a small culture? I want to maintain a small culture of daphnia to live feed my betta fish, however I don’t want to 1 have them overpopulate my small tank, and 2 I don’t want them to survive and thrive in my betta tank because I don’t want too many of them in there, my betta tank is a 10 gallon. How can I keep their population under control?
Amazon fish tank: I’m the least of your worries..
Bettas just existing: 😦
