The smallest species of Gar, the Shortnose Gar, grows to 2 feet long.
I think Needle Nose Gar stay between 12 and 18 inches. But that longnose is going to be 4-6 feet, so whatever.
@@hardybryan Good catch, thanks! Yeah, going to be a lengthier fish for certain.
I would get one in a 125 gal but it's tough having predatory fish. Gar are predatory right?
yes
@@chrisreilly1290 I think they're fish eaters. Benefit of their small mouths though is that the likelihood of being bitten yourself is minimal.
Organizing by tank size is such a simple but brilliant concept.
it is a great idea and hopefully more LFS will start doing it
My local shop organises by compatability levels. It's a traffic light system. Tanks with green stickers are all suitable to live togther harmoniously. Tanks with orange stickers can live with each other, but they'll eat the green sticker fish. Tanks with red stickers will eat or kill everything but its own kind.
I'd like to see both systems combined. Having tank size sections labeled with the compatibility levels would go a long way to stopping well meaning but ignorant fish owners from accidentally abusing their fish.
Probably also add a base line in X size tank you can have Y small fish or Z larger fish. To the section signs.
@@JustARandomPerson-dr7uv My LFS is organised similarly by compatibility/general family. Platies next to mollies, tetras next to swordtails, ciclids by themselves because they are gigantic buttholes etc.
Tank size guides would be a really awesome tool for new fish keepers to give them a better idea of what is actually required for Fishy to thrive instead of just grabbing the first, crappy, disgustingly undersized fish bowl they see that has a picture of the fish they want plastered onto it.
The inverted fishtanks in the museum are so people can't reach in and touch the fish. The gap between the inverted tank and the floor of the external tank is just enough to get an air hose in and suck out the air bubbles to raise the water level, and the outside tank is sized to contain all the water from the inside tank in case of a leak while leaving the water level high enough for the fish, without letting the fish actually get out where someone could pet or touch them. Good design. Shame that they ALSO use fishbowls.
it also just looks v cool too :) gives a better viewing experience
I think the aquarium art museum was to reflect the idea of the ancient Chinese bowl decor tradition that they would put goldfish in there for display for a limited time and then once there guest leave they put them back in the pond or tank
that would be great if they really took care of all the different kinda goldfish afterwards
I'm choosing to believe you are right because I don't think it could possibly be that clean otherwise
No they don't. There are dead fish in there.. just too many to clean up

Japan is a country of contrasts when it comes to fishkeeping. I have been watching many fishkeeping videos from Japan. On one side of the street you will find the most advanced products in the hobby, on the other side, you will find traditional shops selling goldfish in small porcelain vases.
It's like they forget everything modern about the hobby when they look at goldfish. Even the goldfish exhibit at the Sumida Aquarium is boring compared to the other exhibits.
At least they used big aquariums, but they were all barebotton. With the exception of two, one was cylindrical and very tall, I do not consider it suitable for goldfish. The other was circular and, in my opinion, has a very strong current, the fish were carried away by it.
You can find the exhibition here on TH-cam if you want.
I gotta say, when I submitted my first tank to you I thought it was great! And you roasted me because I had a clown pleco in a 10 gallon 😂 I learned from it though! I now have a 20 gallon and the clown pleco thrived in it for awhile before ich took everyone out. Switched it up with some kuhlis. But as much as the roasting hurt, I appreciated it! You helped me be a better fish keeper. Thanks chirs 😊
aw that's great! sry for the roast, nothing I say on these are personal or anything, usually it's to add more comedic effect by going a bit overboard. I don't remember what I said but I am glad you changed it up and seem to be enjoying your time in the hobby more too, keep it up!
I've actually been to the art aquarium in Ginza o: Each tank was surprisingly clean for goldfish in small cramped spaces, so I think that there must be a lot of staff that help make the tanks look as well as they do. Very cramped conditions for sure though, which was pretty disappointing to see such beautiful high quality fish treated like that.
Happy FTR day everyone!! Go forth, wet your hands, dirty your hands, spoil some pets and have an awesome week!! 🙏✌️
Edit; platinum halfbeaks are awesome!!!
QOTW; ever since my son started GTA years ago my "dream car" is a little smart car but like totally modded out, yet you drive around at max 20mph.🤣
woohoo! The beginning of your comment reminds me of twitter (or X's) new slogan: Blaze your glory haha
@@FishForThought I thought if anything, you might comment on my dream car🤣. But as I don't do the socials beyond yt, I'll have to take your word for the twit-ter thing...✌️
The guy who "created" these tanks is an "artist" named Hiro Niiya from Osaka. Some of them have actual fish in them, while others have fish which were entoumbed in clear acrylic. Some of the plants were too. You can kind of tell which plants were because some of the tips are getting brown. I guess you won't have to worry about whether he re-homes the acrylic entoumbed fish because they're kinda dead. The guy bills his stuff as "The Ultimate synthesis of art and nature". He will sell the works, but they run from the high six figures to the low seven figures. He also lets you know that the ones which have fish and plants encased in acrylic should be considered to be a short term "investment" (?) which will begin to degrade and decompose within a few years. He will sell you his fish bowls with or without the fish in them. They are still pricy beyond the reach of even those in the upper middle class.
somehow, knowing this makes me feel even more disgusted.
A Rocket Gar/Hujeta Gar is a characin that looks spot on to a gar. I've kept them in a 29. Should be good as a single fish with nothing small enough to fit in it's mouth.
29 gal?! that sounds doable...
Thank you for making such great fish content! Another Monday made great! That's an awesome desk!!
woohoo! thx for tuning in! happy monday!
QOTW: mini van (have had two, very useful) or smol wagon/SUV... with enough roof rack to put an 18' sea kayak on, and low enough to make it easy to get that vessel up there. Cause sometimes it's easier to go visit the fish in their native habitat.
Hujeta gar/rocket gar will be a good option for smaller size gar they are not a true gar but have a behaviour and personality of gar. I have a pair and they max out at 10 inches in captivity so they will be good option
I just got my African dwarf frogs and kuhli loaches today. One loach is acting crazy and the other one just borrowed into the sand. I wanted four loaches but they only had two. The frogs are so cute!!!
I finally saw chili rasboras in person this weekend, and couldn't believe how small and brightly colored they are!
Qotw: Someday when my kids are grown I'd really like something like an S2000, or an MR2... but for now I'm dreaming of a Swedish station wagon (SAAB or Volvo, love them both)
Fish For Thought is the ultimate freshwater funhouse! 🐠🏠 From tank transformations to fin-tastic fish species, they're making a big splash in the world of aquariums. Their honest and witty reviews keep us 'reel' entertained and well-informed about the best aquatic abodes out there. A must-watch for anyone seeking the 'finer' things in freshwater fishkeeping. 🌊🌟
thx so much for this awesome comment!!! It's so encouraging!
You crack me up dude. Your “fish first” philosophy is spot on.
Can't wait until 'fish' bowls are banned as housing for fish. Let's all just soft bully everyone until happens😂
Its crazy, when i first started watching you a few years ago i had no fish tanks.....................now i have 6. Love your videos ive watched almost all if not all of your videos. Keep up the good work!! I was like 8 when i started watching you now im 13.
If i saw the fish bowl sale 1.99 I'd buy them all, ask if there were any not on the sales floor I could also buy. Proceed to check & thank them for a good deal on glass for candle making.
....
QOTW : keeping my eyes on used astro van w cabin seats and that fold down back seat into bed with the window curtains for more road trip fun and extra space when I'm camping.
Alas funds are tight and I need to plan surgery, so right now my medical coasts and down time financially have to come 1st.
QOTW: I think I'd want a black 70's-80's Porsche 911. When I was a kid I used to see one driven around my tiny little town during the summers. It was such a beautiful car, and now anytime I see a Porsche I think of that one. I don't see it around anymore though and I wish I knew whatever happened to it, but maybe one day I can afford one for myself lol
As always great FTR day. Just wished the videos were longer. When can we get 30 min clips pls~
I hope Suzuki will do a new version of their Alto, perhaps an electric car. I've only ever owned Suzuki Alto's and I love these cars! My first was a burgundy one built in 2003, then one of the same colour built in 2004. They were both named Red Dwarf. My current one is the next generation and built in 2014 and is named Cyberman because of his colour and round headlights. When I saw this one in the shop, the nickname was a complete no-brainer.
That $1.99 tank was being sold inside a "Family dollar" in the pet section. You can tell from the red shelf strips.
The only fish in that store is prolly bobbing in the toilet. A long brown fish.
Honestly how can there be a whole museum full of nothing but tiny empty vases with goldfish. We get enough of that on the internet. It'd be a lot more beautiful (and even educational, like a museum is kinda supposed to be?) if they were properly scaped and properly stocked, help show the world what fishkeeping is *meant* to be like
And for those displays that are *actual* tanks, they could've easily outfitted with shoals nano fish or some inverts crawling around, creating a very nice display and one that's more appropriate, but nope, it *has* to be goldfish, never anything less.
Also sorting by minimum required tank size is a *brilliant* idea that I wish more people would do, makes things so much easier for the people and for the fish
Long nose gar grows upto 13 kgs u can't have em in a 40 gallon, but there's a very cool alternative, and still it might need something bigger than a 40 gallon, it's called Xenentodon cancila
I have an uncle with one of the desks you advertised, he likes it because he can use the tall setting to keep things away from his young kids XD For QOTW, someday I just want a car that works without needing repairs, and has Bluetooth so I can connect my phone. I currently have a 2004 Nissan Altima and wouldn't mind a newer version of it.
Every time I watch you I always remember young Kim Il-sung.
I honestly just want to own a car that's younger that me lol
But my hope is to eventually buy something that's just a couple years old so I can maintain it.
i feel that. at one point i just wanted a car with an aux or bluetooth so i can play songs i wanna play
@@FishForThought haha yep, and the adapters are so hit or miss!
I finally got my first tank together! Its nothing special, but it has a filter, heater, lights, some wood, rocks, sand, live plants, and places to hide. 10 gallons. I hope the fish I get like it
Fish Tank Review is still a fave. From when I started with just 1 20 gallon a year ago to now 4 tanks. But for qotw, I'd like to own something like a Lincoln MKZ. My uncle has one and his is actually super nice and sporty looking. But if we really dream I'd love a Maserati or a Lamborghini.
dang I almost got a used old lincoln mkz at one point but decided against it because I'm more used to the japanese cars that are more reliable xD
Liked for the snakehead mention alone. My C. asiatica passed a few month ago and I'm know without a tank for the first time in a decade. Still got my dogs and cat but I'm itching to get some fish again. Problem is, I know it wouldn't stop at just the one tank and I'm really not in any position to fall head first back into this rabbit hole of a hobby again. But yeah, snakeheads rock.
Since a banana taped in a wall is considered "art", wont be suprised if this bowl trend is also considered art
What do you have against a banana taped to wall? They're trying their best to be special. I swear you people are so miserable, taking the route of being disappointed in a banana.
I disagree about the banana because art is subjective, but I draw the line at animal abuse.
@@WeslingREALthey think the banana worth 20,000 usd 💀💀💀
@@anthonybarraquio9522the 20K usd price tag on the banana taped on a wall tho
As an artist and fish keeper, if this is art, it's absolutely disgusting
that long nose will get over 3ft in length in captivity for sure, a nice smaller species is the Hujeta gar or better known as the silver or rocket gar. Stays relatively small in captivity and and amazing little predator, they are more of a pike species then a gar but they have a really cute little mustache!
TBH my dude, you do look like someone who would enjoy a museum. They're pretty great, IMO.
This really makes by Monday! Thank you for making these videos.
The desk was so damn cool, I wish I could get one of them.
thx for tuning in glad you're enjoying!
1972 mach1 mustang in perfect running order in perfect paint job Yes One day it will come true and one day I will put a picture up here just for my fish people.
I've gone from 0 tanks ever to 3 tanks in the last 6 months and I am a person who's learning how much work they take.
😂 dude same. Just set up my fourth. First was set up in February
Amazing video as usual! My dream car when I get my driving license is any classic car. I would love to do a cheap restoration especially on a VW beetle or split screen campervan. Hopefully one day this will be possible. :)
i love the look of the beetles!
A FFT video a day, keep's the depression at bay
The one in odaiba is worse
There was a dead fish, and they had micro sea water tanks with relatively fish to big for the tank.
The whole "idea" is that it's supposed to show case decor with live animals, but in all honesty, it's not worth paying 2k yen entry to see objects piece with fish in them...
Instead, go to Sumida Aquarium, and at the entrance you will be greeted with a huge fresh water tank that is much more beautifully scaped.
I got feeder minnows 1 year ago from petsmart... 1 year later my first one died last week, of unknown causes
A parameters are perfect, and she just died 1 year after of keeping her, she was perfect 1 night, then the next morning she was dead
It's not a mirror... the lighting and decor are different. And that gar? that's going to get well past a foot long - longer than the actual tank if it lives that long.
1949 Chevy step side 5 window it was my grandpa's truck and if I can find one I'd buy it and drive it everywhere
So funny story you might appreciate the absurdity of. Yesterday at work I had a customer tell me while I was helping him check out (he was getting a large bag of dog food and a betta) that his planted tank didn’t need a heater since he keeps his tank in direct sunlight. I tried telling him that he needs a heater and how important that is and he kinda reiterated that he keeps his tank in the sun so it’s fine. I didn’t push too hard for him to get a heater (or not get the betta fish) like I usually would cause I felt like crap and was barely functioning. In addition, if I wanted to decline a sale I’d need a manager to back me up and the managers were all busy or not in the store at that time. I feel guilty for not declining his sale but he seemed like the kind of guy who’d turn aggressive if I told him I wouldn’t sell him the fish. I didn’t even fully process what had happened until over 8 hours later when I was about to go to bed and realised how weird/messed up that interaction was 😭
Qotw:I don’t really know, as I’m not too big into cars. For a while I really liked the Hennessy Venom F5 but I’ve found that Priuses are actually decent cars, esp for a college student. If I were to get another car, I’d definitely get a sportier looking Prius. Plus the mpg is pretty decent so I don’t have to get gas too often.
The car i really wanted was a kia soul and i got one a couple of years ago and absolutely love it. It would be great if they made soul hybrids, then that would be my dream car.
Your videos get me through my Mondays without a mental breakdown.
Juwel Rio 125 is around 125 litres. Juwel aquariums are so very pretty!
I was supposed to get my Juwel Rio LED 240 in this morning, but the shipping company had packed the cabinet flatpack of 30 kg on top of the tank. You really don't wanna do that, especially when you need to drive it from some ware house in Germany to a town in The Netherlands! The glass can't take it and has no decent support in it's box! So it came out of the truck broken in a zillion pieces and the driver had to take everything back. I couldn't even just keep the cabinet because it's part of one order.
I've just filed another complaint with the store since I haven't heard from them all day! I really hate it when people aren't paying attention to what they're doing and aren't thinking about the consequences! Because this shipping company just destroyed a beautiful aquarium by packing and handling it so badly!
My wildlife pond has a lil bit of duckweed in hit and I’m now on vacation so when I come back it’s probably full of it😭
I'm suddenly hoping to get one of those little half-electric Ford Maverick pickup trucks after years of never having a car. Getting into the aquarium hobby is a major incentive. My town only sells bettas.
mini cooper car is kinda cool, it is small, cute and looks cool and kinda vintage
My favourite car isn’t technically a car but it’s a vw t2 van. Don’t know if I’ll ever own one so maybe a little bit more realistic but still quite unrealistic is a mini cooper
I'm a long time viewer of this channel but not a fish keeper. I'd really love to take a tentative step into the hobby and set up a shrimp tank.
Could someone recommend a good tank set up (for an absolute beginner). A video that also explains testing water parameters, would be useful too.
I have a large glass cookie jar i think would look great as a planted shrimp set up.
I’m actually looking at buying my first car right now! Planning on a nice crossover car so I don’t have the price of an suv but I have more space than a sedan.
ooo very nice, crossovers are all the rage these days. dunno ur budget but dang have u seen the new honda hrv's, i thought it was a jaguar before realizing it was a honda. the design is sick!
I've always dreamt of owning an original Model T and customizing it with a glass bottom.
A realistic car I want is a 67 Chevy Impala and while black is is king, I'm going SEAFOAM with white wall tires and leather seats!
my dad had and little bro had a betta fish in a 5.5 and he just got moved in to a 10 gallon but I only had plastic plants but I'm getting live plants soon ill send in a picture for you too review soon and the car I want to have is a Chevy 409
As a plant parent this channel makes me want to try my hand at aquascaping. Are fishless tanks a thing? I want to try my hands at it but I don't want to unnecessarily make a living fish suffer in the process
This made me think of A Fish Out of Water the kids' picture book about a goldfish that keeps growing.
So won the fair fish for my kid. Mom orders a 7 gal... Fish dies. I spend more on the extras and new fish than the tank. But anyway just did the first real 50% and its looking ok. Mollys . corys. Neon "tetras" . and a beautiful betta. 😊
Shrimp and plant oasis, cheap 3 gallon with a nice light
Remember those mourning geckos the pangea squad i think if u have them still please do an update
the fish at 7:46 is a long snouted pipenose, not a gar. I might be wrong tho
Just wanted to let you know I never skip ads on your videos , Igotchubro
Fun Fact: Wang is the most common last name in the world.
(Learned it from that one TH-camr that does polls and stuff)
Charles Peralo
@@tyronebell8205 yep that one
and chris is also a common name
so chris wang is a very common name hahaha
I currently drive a 2001 Land Rover Discovery and I LOVE it so much, but unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to trade it in for a smaller car. I'm a big outdoorsman so I love being able to drive anywhere and camp in my car, and it's really just the best looking car I've seen. However, it's a bit too expensive for me to drive, as it only gets around 12-15 mpg and it needs frequent and expensive repairs. I'm planning on getting a smaller but similar car, like a Honda CRV, Toyota Rav-4, or Subaru Forester, but my dream is to keep the Land Rover and just spend enough to fully restore and upgrade it, maybe even convert it to hybrid/electric, although I'd need like 100k for that.
My realistic dream car is my jetta I had to sell bc it started burning oil ;-;
BUT I just got in an accident and my car is likely totaled (not at fault) so I'm hopeful that maybe I can find a similar jetta at a good price 🤙
I'm the kind of person who shops for plant pots in the discount area of the aquarium section.
Also a realistic dream car for me would be a mitsubishi eclipse. A unique looking car that isn't going to make me broke (i think)
Ngl, I'd like to get my hands on a $1.99 fish bowl or three. Good for storing/displaying smaller crystals lol. Also make cute succulent terrariums. I love fishbowls, just not for fish.
Qotw- Toyota 4Runner.
aw yeah fr fr those would be great for storing stuff
Ad is top tier! Yet another fantastic video 😊
1:23 bro imagine aliens did this to us, trippiest sci fi movie
QOTW: Mini Cooper, love square shaped cars so iconic and easily recognizable
QotW: Dream car is a Lotus Evija. Realistic dream car are a Honda Civic type R or a Tesla model S
Halfbeaks are one of my FAVORITES 😍😊
My (realistic) dream car is a mk 2 MR2, a 60s beetle or a Yellow Toyota Celica tsport. My unrealistic dream cars are Ferarri F430, Testarossa or DeLorean 😅
more fish stores should arrange their fish by tank size requirements, life made easy. I bought my dream car 2 years ago; it is a Dodge Grand Caravan. It is my dream as I am a grandmother who takes grandkids places and loves to travel but can't afford motels and restaurants. This vehicle gives me the best of 2 worlds, seats for passengers and sleeping area for me when traveling without removing said seats.
I would always wanna be driving a 2007 4 door VW Rabbit with a manual transmission.
Chirs making sure his ratings are accurate to two decimal places. QOTW answer: Chevy Volt or Nissan Leaf.
Apparently the smallest gar species grows to 2 feet. Hope that helps.
The gold fish bowl for 1.99 would be a great hamster bathroom though 😂
QOTW: used to have a Jeep Wrangler in my 20s. Changed it up when my kids were young. Definitely want another now that they’re basically grown.
From a Mom who doesn’t abuse fishes 😂😉
I'm planning a trip to Japan and thought this place would be cool until I saw pictures of the conditions the fish were in.
I only want the standing desk if it comes with a complementary Chirs on top
qotw: I actually have my realistic dream car! it's a small hatchback I bought when my big dog became a senior so it would be easier to get her in and out as well as giving her more space to lay down comfortably. I love my car so much, even after 6 years
i honeslty assumed the museum aquarium did that for wholesale
A 1977 camaro with a split bumper conversion and a 454 big block chevy (maybe I'll have it finished within 20 years lmao)
Now the blue lobster guy is even following me to fish for thought. I saw him everywhere in Reddit, and now TH-cam?
QOTW: both are model I like, I would like to own one of those but I don't know when :
- Piaggio Ape
- AIXZAM D Truck 😂
That car engine is giving me “Pimp my Ride” vibes😂
The tiny yellow fish at 7:21 looks amazing... Hope it's natural. 🐠
It’s a glofish cory cat unfortunately
I'm already obssesed with pot plants DON'T GIVE ME ANOTHER ONEEEE
11:08 naw, that isn't the bird, it's the Fairy Tail hand gesture.
Sea world is actually the best when it comes to care of fish and aquatic animals. People watch one biased documentary that cut and pasted people they interviewed to make it sound like they said things they didn’t say and didn’t look any further.
A Bronco or 4runner would be my choice! Would be nice for where I live (Ohio).
my realistic future car would probably a subaru. not sure what style or color (not red for sure tho). i used to own one before i blew a gasket….lol. i now have a 2004 Lexus! it was my moms old car. my dream car would be another Lexus but like a new one. from like 2020 and up lol.
Qotw: my only hopes are "fuel efficient with big trunk" 🤣 I actually bought my first car this spring and it hits both, but it's also already cost me hundreds of euros in repairs and new tyres 🙈
I think 1960's-70's VW vans are super cute, so my dream car would be one of those, but with a modern engine to hit my "fuel efficient" goal 🥰
I bet that museum doesn't have all real fish. That could be all acrylic sculptures.
Okay Did some research. They are setup to overflow like an infinity pool. SO they have a proper waterflow and probably great filtration from underneath =) Still to small, but the water should be quite clean.
that Kerning city bgm, the nostalgia
yessir
I've been driving my dream car since 2004 when I bought it. 2002 Pontiac Trans Am.
