Hey, congrats. There are scammers pretending to be you now. One just replied to my comment saying that I won something or the other
Whole ass bamboo gonna rot! Unless u buy ones that are sealed on top and bottom
If you are tired of making ftr’s, Repashy and Milly can always do them because they are the real hosts.
I think that'd be a fun thing to do for April 1st tbh
FTR 4/1/23: Milly just casually pooping on the mic while Repashi tries to climb off of it 😄
You raosted him fr
DOWN WITH HUMAN OVERLORDS!
Given the betta isn't on the stocking list I imagine he is only in their to aid with the cycling of the tank and will be removed once the true stock is ready to go out of quarantine
I doubt he will aid much in the cycle. I imagine it was for the meme.
It was 100% for the meme
@@lilmonsters8344 true but if you are gonna be doing ghost feedings you may as well feed a single betta instead.
I remember seeing something like this or this post specifically. The betta was just in there for the meme lol.
The bacteria only populate based on bio-load. One fish in a large tank, will only make a very small amount of beneficial bacteria. The tank will not be cycled for adding community fish.
I work at Walmart and caught myself telling an older lady when she started talking about her goldfish that her tank size was too small. She didn't seem too pleased to hear my advice on fish keeping
Not all heroes wear capes, good job!
They never do. I work at walmart too and it's ashtrays the gold fish going in a 5gal or a 0.3 bowl 🙄
I work at Walmart but we don't have a fish section anymore. Just a couple sad shelves with aqua airline tubing and tetra fish food. I think it's because there's a Petco in the same parking lot.
Chris! Thank you! I got a female betta 2 weeks ago and i bought her a 3 gallon with colorful rocks and fake plants. I found your channel and began educating myself so much! I am currently cycling a 9 gallon with live plants, spider wood, and natural looking substrate. I think she will be much happier. Thank you!!
Let’s fucking goooo
Yesterday I when to petsmart and I saw a couple with kids getting a one 2.5 gallon tank and they had to betta fish. I wanted to tell not to do that but I figured they wouldn’t believe a 12 year old kid
Very relatable as a fellow child. XD
I feel the pain
Don’t tone yourself down because you’re a kid. Honestly, it would be very humbling for an adult to witness a child being a more responsible and informed pet owner.
I can relate to that. Usually no one cares what you have to say if your a kid
For what it's worth, good advice is still good advice no matter where it comes from. There's a chance they won't listen since you're young, but there's a chance they will consider what you have to say and do a little more research before buying the fish. Just be polite if you ever do approach someone with suggestions. 🙂
What's funny is I actually did the same thing with the snails. I had 2 nerites and suddenly there was a tiny snail. I was so confused as to how that happened that I tested my water for salt content . It was a bladder snail.
goldfish in cow troughs actually work pretty well, they’re constantly getting large volume water changes as the water is drank and refilled, and they get tons of food from the algae and food that gets transferred from cows’ mouths. used to try to go fishing in my neighbors cow trough using random foods as bait, and the goldfish in that trough were vibrant, chunky, and reproducing like crazy
And they also eat any larvae or small bugs that get in the trough! Like mosquito larvae. It'll help keep the water cleaner (except the poop but wild horses drink from bodies of water that have poop anyhow so it should be okay?) One of the reasons they became popular back in the day
Genuinely curious tho, wouldn’t the goldfish also poop a lot in the water (the pooping machines they are) which may be bad for the cow?
@@XenoMarcc Not as long as there weren't too many fish or overfed fish. A trough with only one fish specie's poop beats the heck out of a pond or creek with umpteen different organisms' poop, plus who-knows-what harmful microbes and parasites.
Chris is like the lord and savior of fish, like so much effort put in by this man to save fish. It's truly commendable
Repucci: Father
Chirs: Son
Miley: Holy spirit

Thanks for reviewing my gecko tank!!!
The light on top was actually my old Nicrew light, I just used it for the photo lol. I have a heat mat, and I’ve recently gotten myself a UVB bulb, only a low wattage one since this species actually doesn’t need UVB, but it can be used. I’ve also gotten a thermostat and I LOVE it, so much. I also installed a hammock, and I’ve put a black background on it.
Definitely going to be sending it again, hopefully with a gecko!
Oh btw for ppl on petscord, Daniel wensing is actually my dads name, my email just uses his name.
OH MY GOD I WAS THE ONE WHO POSTED THE SCIENCE TEACHERS TURTLE AHH WHATS UP CHIRS I CANT BELIEVE IM IN A VIDEO (also i did end up helping that turtle, putting in a heat lamp and changed the water as well as adding a platform and stuff, but he put the turtle back. for some reason the tank broke again so it’s kind of back to how it was which absolutely sucks)

First FTR of the year and my Cory Gang is +/-30 extra. Hatched my second spawn of Corydoras Aeneus and after a week they are doing well in their grow out tank. Wish me luck guys
I was setting up a pond for my 2 baby orandas while watching this week's FTR and when the video ended I was like: " I am just like one of the people at the being of every video!"
The oranda pond is 110 liters.
Chris, I found your videos last year, after I started researching betta fish care for the first time. Now I have a 20 gallon, and are getting 3 other tanks for guppy breeding after my grandparents move out.
So I guess I can say thanks
I want to set up my first aquarium this year, after the flat´s been renovated. You and other youtubers in this field of interest are quite inspiring and I want to take this seriously. Like a proper fish stock, plenty of plants and a nice scape for the fish to have fun with.
I´ve always been curious about fish tanks. At my middle/high school there was a big salt water tank just outside the janitor's office where I liked to look what was going on. You would love it! I've worked at an engineer's office for a year where they had a fresh water tank where every so often fish died or got attacked. Not sure what the problem was but the fish might have been bored out of their minds having only a few plants to hide and hardly any scape. They did have a cool blue shrimp though which moulted every few months. One time, his one of his pincers got stuck in the old shell and came out all crooked.
I can't wait to start setting it up, which will probably be somewhere August.
Look up Father Fish on youtube.
best of luck to ya!!
Just added a half moon king betta to his new planted 5 gallon! And hes so happy and cute! I'll be submitting it soon
Nice man can't wait
In my opinion 5 gallons is too small for a king betta- they are larger than normal ones thus they require larger minimum sizes
@@natalier4053 I originally had him in my 30g community tank (understocked) but he did not like it in there at all. He got along fine with the other fish but he was very lethargic and reclusive. But when I put him in the 5g he started to perk up, and now after 3 days he is happy, energetic, and overall he really seems to love it.
But if I see any sign of him feeling cramped or unhappy, I'll upgrade him asap. He was actually at petco in a cup for over three mounths. That being said, he seems to be a little clumsy when it comes to swimming
Happy New Year. I stopped doing resolutions decades ago due to never being able to keep them. I have gotten a free baby shrimp from the LFS on a bushel of hornwort without anyone realizing it before. Sadly, I noticed it had hitchhiked right after I dropped the plant into the tank. It swam for the bottom and one of the residents immediately ate it.
Im a pet store worker, i try very hard to help people get the best things for their fish, its a small thing and a lot of people here are going to hate me for saying this, but im happy when people leave with a 2.5 gallon tank. Many people come in wanting to put a goldfish in a bowl (which i will not sell together) i consider it a bit of a win when i have them buy something with a filteration system
My New Years resolution is to start caring for myself better.
(Gross, but I dont care)
I have not brushed my teeth in over a year and rarely shower because of severe depression. I have already showered twice and brushed my teeth every other day this week. Its hard to find energy to actually do the things I wanna do. I'm also going outside which has been extremely hard because of my severe anxiety, I've also started driving again! One step after the other
*finds FFT in last week of 2022 and binges it ALL*
*Sees notification of FFT post and goes to watch my first FTR as it comes out*
Chris: "I hope to start off your New Year just right" and you do 🙏🏻
I appreciate you and other fish tank content creators, learning what was being done wrong with my dad's tanks when I was a kid, and inspiring me to save up and have my own tanks to love and care for❤️
Ps. Bless you Millie, and Happy New Year everyone❤️
The first tank is ✨AMAZING.✨ Even the betta and the stand are awesome. GG
I made the same mistake as the person in the last video. Got my first tank, bought a single mystery snail cause I didn't want babies. Couple weeks later I saw a baby pond snail and I was like "oh my god guys I think my mystery snail was hiding a baby under it's shell" hahaha
NOTE: Three stripe mud turtles normally stay small- about the size of an adults hand. Not microscopic for sure, but not a big lurker like a Red Eared Slider or Eastern Painted. They are also peaceful and mild mannered to the Slider types, who will probably hate everything alive including you, and possibly themselves.
I feel like a tank this size would be alright for a betta if it was more landscaped. You could probably fit three different landscapes in there and that single betta winds up with three little homes it can rotate through.
Chris is not aloud to stop making thses ive been watching you for years
I'm guessing the Betta is coming out before the community goes in!
4:10 NGL those holes are giving me pstd. I had my Betta get stuck in them twice and had to break the it to free her.
You’re my favorite TH-camr because you taught me how to roast people who have 1 gallon
Betta tanks but honestly I wouldn’t really call those tanks I would call them torture
7:25 my friends had the same thing and we think it got with the plants as a baby
Yeah anything over 20 or 40 gal is too big as beta are super territorial and feel the need to patrole. It can stress them out to have too much open space to patrole. If you heavily plant then meybe, but hey better this than too small.
I agree with Chirs, that tank is way too big and there's too much water movement for the betta. I appreciate the tank creator for putting the betta in something bigger than a bowl, but they need to do some more research. Bettas do best in a dark water tank of around 20 to 30 gallons with heater, sponge filter, and lots of plants. That person would be better off getting a smaller tank for the betta and using the big tank as a really cool community tank.
I woke up to my bed soaking wet cause my part of my bed sheet fell into my baby guppy tank, way to start the fishy week. 🤭 Normal day in fish keeping??
I'm crying at how small that teacher's tank is for the turtle. 😢 That turtle needs the 300g betta tank. That being said, since there's a partially dry basking platform next to the tank, it looks like the teacher was in the middle of a water change when that picture was taken. I hope.
Man you really have that Pweds influence done well. Not too cheesy, you rock the style well man.
Love your vids been watching for three years
☺
I think we need a trend in the hobby where people have one betta in a large aquarium.
Don't give me any ideas! 🤣
That’s retarded won’t even be able to see the figh half the time 20 G long perfect for Betta
Not a good idea, bettas cannot be in small tanks but they actually suffer in tanks that are too large. The water needs to be somewhat shallow, I would say any water depth more than 15 inches is too deep
@@michaelgeorge4643 There is no such thing as a tank “too large”, that is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard lmao as long as you have proper foliage to fill the big tank and slow filtration they will thrive.
@@natalier4053 It's the depth requirement, and no this isn't me saying it, this is pretty common knowledge among betta breeders. Why do you think betta breeders use large breeder tanks with only 6 inches of water? Why don't they fill it up more? Maybe I know what I'm talking about and you don't? It's always the least informed people calling everyone else's input "dumb"
I sneezed the second millie sneezed and I thought you said bless you to me 😂
My betta is in my 180 gallon and is living his good betta life like the king he is
1st tank : too heigh for betta splendens, betta has no gills but a whirlpool that forces it to rise to the surface to breathe. Sailing Bettas have difficulty swimming quickly and become exhausted quickly. it's a worse mistake than to lock it in a 5L tank
I’ve been watching you for a year and a half now your the one who made me get a crested gecko and lots of fish
Thank you so much for posting this! I really needed this after I lost 3 guppies to my error. One of my guppies had parasites so I turned up the heat but around Christmas there was an emergency in my family and I forgot to turn the heat down and 3 of my 4 guppies sadly didn’t make it and I barely managed to save my 4th guppy Ice Cream.
My New Year's Resolution is to find a job in graphic design or illustration, or anything that leads to a job I can actually enjoy. I hope you have a good 2023!
Happy new year!
Let's Hope that FTR won't end in this year
Chris you inspired me to get a 6 gallon and treat a betta right. I now have a tangerine koi male betta named mango
lets goooo! I bet he loves his 6 gal
@@cyicreations951 ty
i really enjoy your fish tank reviews - i looked forward to sending you my tank pic(s) one day
Happy new year Chris! I hope you saw lots of beautiful fireworks and saw lots of beautifully shaped tanks!
Chris, I have a tank that can do a water change with me turning on and off a few switches and rotating valves. It takes about 10 minutes. It was all made by my dad, because, he made it when I was 6 years old.
Happy New Year to you and your fam, Chris! I look forward to a 2023 full of awesome FFTdays!! 😁🥳
Just gonna say about the red betta with all the shrimp huts, you can't keep those shrimp huts with a betta. My betta tried squeezing into one, ripped his fins, his body got bloodied up and almost died. He has scars...otherwise yeah its aesthetically appealing.... 😬
when I was at my local chain pet shop there was a small child that was like 2 ft tall that somehow knew how to talk and they wanted some type of fish probably goldfish or betta and they were at the gravel section and the dad said ‘rainbow, or what type of color’ and she said ‘RAINBOW RAINBOW RAINBOW RAINBOW.’
First Milly of the New Year!! What's uuuup! We need some Milly merch up in here, fr.
I just built an outdoor enclosure with a pond for my turtle and was feeling guilty that it wasn't big enough. This video made me realize I'm doing my turtling right (as much as you can in suburbia).
It looks to me like they intend to move the betta to something more appropriate once they have the full stocking in.
Just started my new 55 gallon running and well right now! Waiting to add some fish going to start with small tetras first
1:22 that betta looks lost af like,
"Surface? What surface?!"
Poor lil guy ain't never getting any... just like me
My betta is currently in a 2 gallon tank 😬 My mom wanted me to save money-
She does have a good example though, she kept a fish in 1 litre of water for over 8 years
that betta definitely isn’t staying lol
I put my Betta Bob in a 29 and he got stress lines. He's doing much better in his 14. My female betta, Viola, is doing well in the 29 though.
My betta Bob does well with mystery snails and African dwarf frogs.
Viola is doing great with mystery snails, corys, guppies, and dwarf frogs.
when I had frog it attack anything that moves fast
9:25 i had one bladder snail from a plant i bought for a tank, i took down the tank, but built it again and its still there
I don't do New Year's resolutions. I do goals. My goals this year are move out of my crappy apartment, start a non-profit, and finish a book I've been working on.
Just order some stuff on Amazon with holiday money. I can't wait to upgrade my Betta to my first planted tank.
I use a Betta, when cycling a new tank.
Those grandparents want to keep the fish, they just need to get rid of that table, and get a 55.
My New Year's resolution is to enter an aquascaping contest.
My new year's resolutions are to start teaching my high school biology student to do plant tissue culture (we are gonna grow loads of bucephalandra and Anubis), and to run a 10k in under 40 min.
these FTR's are my daily dose of internet teaching me a lot about life than fish.
I hate it to be „that one person“ that writes a not so pleasant comment about the gecko terrarium but I hope the person will do their research again (main problem is, they love to dig so even the substrate is way too low and not the best choice but doable) But anyway happy new year Repashi and Milli you are the best... the best co-hosts!! I‘m team chris-main-charakter😁 Have a great year, Chris, thank you for all your effort and passion, it‘s because of you I started fishkeeping again. I‘m more the shrimp and crab and reptile person but my small chilli rasbora are soo cute to watch, they add so much joy to one of my tank, because of you I felt encouraged to get them and I could not be happier. I wish 2023 will bring a lot of happiness to you too, have a great year!
I stopped smoking! Day three with no ciggy! trying to stay strong, but the craving are brutal. 😬
I come here to inform you that nobody asked and nobody cared. Except for me, that is, but I only cared enough to give you this information. Have an enjoyable life.
I’m putting together ideas for my dream tetra community tank. Whether I’ll fulfil that dream I have no idea, but this channel is helping me make sure I’m on the right track drawing up my plans
First day of the new year I set up my mom's 60 gallon ( no fish yet obviously) but my new years resolution is to have 3 tanks myself and set up 3 more for others
Yes i have a problem
See, this is one reason why I haven't let myself get a tank. The other reasons are my 3 butthole cats and my own personal laziness to clean.
The first tank would have been a great gold fish. Hope you had a great Christmas and new year, you are so funny AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON YOUR CO HOST *chefs kiss* 😊😂
We already know that betta owns the entire thing
chris after monday: my work here is done
my tortoise is also named milly. we should set up a playdate.
That betta is like what color is your 300 gallon with pruiemiem hideouts
These videos are always hilarious! Keep up the great work! 😃🐟
I just realized that’s *My science teachers turtle* 8:23 and rn it’s in the smaller tank to the left
Love the old school Kerning City music from Maplestory lol
I maybe will get some mollies for my tank and give my tetras a good home
Oh it's Monday again?! Woo! That large Betta tank is heckin fantastic!
Thank you for always posting on time
My wife researching crested geckos, “haha some guy on TH-cam named his gecko after the food, that’s so silly”
Me, “don’t disrespect the #1 host of FTR like that”
Always sparks a bit joy to see your next video uploaded! Almost as much as watching my water zoo.
Best wishes for the new year!
Resolutions are broken too often so I don't make any. 😉
8:08 won't the lucky bamboo die with the leaves submerged?
Science teachers: bad turtle tank
My science teacher: semi planted brackish water mudskipper tank with mangroves and air plants
All the comments shows 6 years ago!! I’m pretty sure that betta is died by now. 😐
My fahaka puffer loves snails, feel free to send them bladder snails my way! 😂
That's a lot of work they are making that Betta fish do to get air. Yes Betta fish breathe air o_o
Happy New year from France 😊
Chris you are amazing and keep up the hard work. Been watching you for about year now and working on my tanks for FTR eventually
One of my friends little sister went to buy a fish for Christmas. She got a 2.5 gallon and wanted a goldfish, when the pet smart employee denied them the fish they argued with him for 30 minutes. My friend called me to ask what’s wrong with it and it took like 20 minutes for him to understand what’s wrong with it.
REALLY glad the PS employee refused to sell them the fish.
When I first set up a tank it was horrible it was over stocked and had little fantasy animals in it like dragons and it was like this for about a year and then I started watching you and I realised how ugly and wrong it was so I saved up and bought the correct equipment and now I have a 2yo 20 gallon planted aquarium for my mollies ❤
That first tank is incredible! but yeah.. it might be too big for a Betta fish
I think hundreds of rummy nose tetras along with baby aro will look good, aros can't catch them coz they are very fast. Tank is massive, you should add something quick to make it look even better
Weird how a biology teacher with a masters in biology would think that is a suitable enclosure for a turtle
Horse person in the chat here with three troughs with goldfish.... um.. we do this?
The water gets changed more than you expect do to refilling the tanks as the horses drink. The tanks have heaters and obviously we test the water since the horses drink it. Some of the tanks have fish that are 4-5 years old right now and when we lose them it's mostly if we have predation from raccoons or herons
7:45 there is no lid. Guppies need kids because they are jumpers. They can jump like a foot and a half out of the tank. One time, I took off my lid and instantly I had a guppy try to jump. Luckily I caught him and he is fine.
Qotw- I quit doing resolutions since I always break them before my birthday, which is in January. 😂
That giant tank with the lone betta, dang. I hope he's planning to put the betta in a different tank before adding all those other fish. I mean, big tanks are great, but how's Mr. Betta supposed to get to the surface in time for food, or air, and compete with tetras once he gets there? My brain is now fried lol. Happy 2023.
Idk why people say don't bury anubis. I have mine in the substrate with some fluval soil and its done so well, I had it send off roots n make baby plants all around my tank. 🤷♀️ its been like that for over 8 months and it's the only plant thriving 😅
You can bury the roots, but not the rhizomes. Anubias will even like it if you do, just definitely not their rhizomes. I think that’s what people mean when they say don’t bury anubias, it’s just the roots and rhizomes sometimes get confused for (looks-wise), so for beginners it generally recommended not to bury at all since the roots will either go back itself, or it’ll be fine
Do a colab with Mark's shrimp tanks. Call that episode Shrimp Tanks Review. Love your show man. Btw somebody's shadow keeps walking by
Chris genuinely makes me happy for each Monday
Once he made us happy on a Sunday with FTR, ahh, good times good times😁😁
That is disguising betta fish can die from stress and overwhelm if they have too much space, a 5 gallon bowl, purified and filtered would be more suitable -with decorations of course
