I agree with you 100% Dani, so many great finds to save money and make things a little easier!! I'm like hillbilly nomad I need supervision when I go in there 😂 Great "10 things" I like the fish food idea 👍Thanks for sharing!! I'm definitely a budget shopper finding my aquariums on Facebook marketplace and thrift stores like Goodwill too!! I hope you all have a very blessed Sunday!!🙏🤗🌿🐟🌿💚
So many things with so many uses I forgot to even share! I am 'a thing (&place) for everything and everything in it's place' kind of person. If it gets too expensive, disorganized, or dirty - I can guarantee my interest/routine will dip and thereafter the health of my aquariums and inhabitants. Dollar store has been key to keeping up, and going forward. Keeping the flame alive so to speak 🔥😂Thanks for watching guys 🤗
Dollar tree,Dollar General and Wal-Mart silk plants are great for Bettas. If you get the little plastic shot glasses, small pebbles and some hot glue and stick some of the silk plants in the glue/rocks(used to weigh it down) mixture then let it dry for at least 24 hours. or more. It works amazing for even the smallest to the largest tanks a for a 10th of the price.
I use many of the identical dollar store items. My Dollar Tree carries very clear faux glass catering items. The pitchers and taller boxes for candy are great for holding fish when I need t look at them more closely. The pitcher hangs on the side of the tank, perfect when scooping out duckweed! I also get super glue gel, wire, paint brushes, zip ties, razor blade holders, etc to use in lots of ways with my tanks.
i took cutting of potho plant stuck 1/4 in tank it grew roots.. no dirt just water takes nitrates and fish pee out of water i get clean glass no algae buildup. grows around top of walls around room and roots in tank for guppy babys to hide.. no fertilizer to harm fish and no dirt... im going to try with a spider plant too.. ive seen the top little cups of strawberry plants and sweet potatoes havent tried yet tho.
I hate the dollar store!!! Go in for one thing and come out with almost fifty dollars in stuff, I'm pretty sure I'm no longer allowed there without supervision
Me too, Me too !!! My hubby has gone with me the last couple of times, he's making sure I don't bring home a car load 😂 🤣 😂 ..... I could hang half of my dinner plates on the wall for Country Kitchen theme !!....... 🤩
That's not even a joke. I can walk in there with the intention of grabbing candy & come out with enough stuff to craft an entire house. (Possibly a slight exaggeration)
Thanks! Being on camera is a lot like forgetting what do with your hands or how to say words, practice (continuing to film more videos) definitely helps!
Even if this video is 3 years old, every single one of these tips in 2024 had me like...borderline angry at myself for not figuring out sooner but the strainer tip had me actually hitting myself in the forehead with my wrist like... WHY HAVE I BEEN TORTURING MYSELF WITH CHASING FISH IN BAGS WITH NETS WHEN THIS IS CLEARLY THE MOST AMAZING (and simple) SOLUTION. Oh my gosh. this video has honestly changed my life in more ways than I thought it could when i clicked on it!
What a fantastic video, so many great ideas. When I worked with teenagers I bought supplies at the dollar store all the time. Lots of great stuff without the price.
Late to this party of course and I think someone may have mentioned it up comment stream But I use Dollar Tree pitchers As catch boxes for netting out fish. Handle hangs on the tank. 1$ vs. 15 or 20. Always have 3 or 4 dedicated only to the fishroom. $1 shoe boxes millions of uses goes without saying.
When my m.t.s. was in full affect (or effect. I don't know which one to use. Lol), the dollar store was my go to for supplies. Cool idea for a video. Thanks Bob.
I've used various sands from the dollar store. I've tested them first to make sure they were clean and didn;t leach color, etc. It can be found where they have bags of pebbles and decorative glass jars. I use various clips from there also to hold electric wires in place, hold floating containers to side of tanks while fish acclimate to a new tank temperature. I use scent wax ceramic melters in tanks as caves for dwarf cichlids. They can be used on their sides and pushed into the substrate a bit to make the cave opening a little smaller. I have various glass vessel nano tanks and found flat round strainers to use to top them so fish don;t jump out. It's fun to find uses for dollar store items.
great video ! I love getting stuff for my tanks there! I get the plastic scrubbies to keep in my HOBs for beneficial bacteria to colonize ! I always have a spare to start up a new tank !( sshhh, don't tell my family ! )
Thank you! While it's thawing, I just keep it out on the counter - I use "tank temp" water to thaw, not too hot to cook it, but not too cold (+frozen cube) to then drop squeeze into the tanks and shock them. I am usually able to use in one shot scross all tanks, clean out and dry, or if not - store in fridge until next go, warm bottle in my hands. Hope that helps!
DaniDoesLife Thanks so much ! I’m definitely gonna try this squeeze bottle method. You have so many interesting ideas I look forward to seeing more content wether on Bob or your channel 👍🏼🐟🤗
How would you prep something from a dollar store? Like do you have to do any special cleaning of it before you can use it for your fish? Example: many things you have to clean before you use it for cooking or drinking even though it just came out of a package. So are there any chemicals in a dollar store sponge?
I heard you mention dollar store steaks , they are actually ribeye they are thin but great for stir fry or steak sandwichs you should definitely give it a try
Betta bowls are the worst possible things to keep bettas in recommended to have a really happy betta is a 5 gallon tank. If you look this up online every fish expert says do not keep them in small bowls.

I like that lady, I use the dollar tree also for my aquariums and plants!!👍💪👏👏👏👏💧🐟🕺🐳🌿🌵🌴✌

or more.
It works amazing for even the smallest to the largest tanks a for a 10th of the price.
Always fun seeing how other people repurpose stuff in their fishrooms. Great video 👍
She's amazing little betta😍
Thanks for the great dollar store ideas

Yes yes yes!!! I was so mad when he said I had to only pick 10 things! Lol. So many good things there 🥰
The Dollar Store had briefly crossed my mind...but, now you've given me specific things to look for.
👉👀👈
Thanks so much!
The Dollar Stores always have nifty little things!! Thanks guys!
i took cutting of potho plant stuck 1/4 in tank it grew roots.. no dirt just water takes nitrates and fish pee out of water i get clean glass no algae buildup. grows around top of walls around room and roots in tank for guppy babys to hide.. no fertilizer to harm fish and no dirt... im going to try with a spider plant too.. ive seen the top little cups of strawberry plants and sweet potatoes havent tried yet tho.
A dust pan is great for scooping out gravel. I also got a back scrubbing brush to scrub deep tanks. Thanks guys.
excellent ideas i think i will adopt these ideas
I hate the dollar store!!! Go in for one thing and come out with almost fifty dollars in stuff, I'm pretty sure I'm no longer allowed there without supervision
🤣 I am an expert at never grabbing a basket, and carrying 80 things to the counter.
They didn't say "how many" dollar store. They're crafty like that.
Me too, Me too !!! My hubby has gone with me the last couple of times, he's making sure I don't bring home a car load 😂 🤣 😂 ..... I could hang half of my dinner plates on the wall for Country Kitchen theme !!....... 🤩
That's not even a joke. I can walk in there with the intention of grabbing candy & come out with enough stuff to craft an entire house. (Possibly a slight exaggeration)
same here, I go in for 1 item and 40 plus dollars later, I only wish I had founded the dollar tree Mecca first.
Dani is looking much more comfortable in front of the camera. The audio sounds great with 2 people now. Good work!

That's a great idea!
Steenfott Aquatics it’s amazing. And there’s like 5-6 in a package ! So simple and stupid cheap!
Yes! I did that for my pond hang on back last year! Good scores all over 👏
So awesome!! Love the dollar store

Great ideas. I'm checking out the dollar store tomorrow. 👍
Lots of great ideas. Thanks.👍
Glad you like them!
Thanks guys
you set-up is sooo cute!! i just created my first driftwood project using only dollar store crafts.
The new microphones are a huge improvement. I always enjoy the videos you do with Dani but often have trouble hearing her.
Audio is on-point. This was a good upgrade.
I gotta hit up the Dollar Store. Great ideas.
Some really good and cheap ideas thanks !
Nice!!! Headed to the Dollar Store now.
Great video guys. I love the dollar store!
Thank you! 🤗
The basket is for washing vegetables or shelled seafood like clams plastic melts in cooking.
Yep! None of these supplies are used for cooking, Fish and aquarium use only 😊
Great video like always 😃 they definitely have some good things for aquariums
Yes they do
How do you keep fish from jumping out without a top?
Being part of an asian household means that most of these items I’ve seen on an everyday basis XD
I love tent talk
Tenk Talk, I love it ☺ lol thank you!
Love the tips! Awesome ideas, definitely helpful when I set up future projects!
Nice 👌🏽
Good dollar store scores! Thanks!
she is so cute
Thank you for this video! So many good ideas. I am terrible at organizing things!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Dani love the setup you have
Thank you!!
Cool video, I am curious about the tent setup.
Gotta pay that fish tax lol. Aquarium baster gravel cleaner? $13. Turkey baster at Walmart? $2 😂😂😒😑
When thawing the squeeze bottle blood worms or daphnia how do you store the bottle? Love all these ideas! 👍🏼🐟

I just rinse everything really well
I have to keep my food in a small covered tub, my cats get into them otherwise like if I used a caddy like you have,
I heard you mention dollar store steaks , they are actually ribeye they are thin but great for stir fry or steak sandwichs you should definitely give it a try
That was fun and informative. :)
Shes a lovey lady and up for a laugh my type of girl.
Thank you Stephen 😊
Nice video, mate! 👍
YEAH ! The Best thing I’ve found at a nearby Dollar Store is Very Cool shaped Betta Bowls.
Betta bowls are the worst possible things to keep bettas in recommended to have a really happy betta is a 5 gallon tank. If you look this up online every fish expert says do not keep them in small bowls.
Irrelevant, but she is very pretty. Great video!
👍💓👍
All the things...check.
Haha. Yes!! 😆
I wanna be a fish!🐡
Wow put a ring on that finger !!
She already has one
Wow, You are absolutely Gorgeous , just a compliment
👍👍👍🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹...
😍🤓
You are pretty
So pretty
has Bob found his fish lady? or is this too good to be true?
Found a fish friend
Steenfott Aquatics even better
👍💋
Damn girl...
Thank goodness my wife is not like this woman, we would have gone broke, it's bad enough I'm into fish!
Haha, thank god for the Dollar Store!! And for your wife vs. Me... My husband is definitely a saint 😂
Very nice video. Thanks for introducing your girlfriend .
Just friends
Look at all these simps in the comment section 🙄
Takes one to know one
Steenfott Aquatics I have graduated to the class of pimp 😝 #simptopimp
Im cringing every time she mentions cleaning with bleach, omg no no no, im surprised u didn't let know how bleach is bad
Because bleach isnt bad. Its commonly used to disinfect aquarium supplies.
Good ideas and she's much easier on the eyes than you, no offense.
Ah, you said “no offense” after something extremely rude and dickheaded, so now it’s not offensive!
It's called multitasking like how I did water changes while watching this video. She's as hyper as you are, good business partners there.
i showed you my discus, please respond
