Just imagine what it’s like being a pet fish. You get to fly all the time, it occasionally rains food, use the bathroom anywhere- and if you’re the biggest in your tank, you can doesn’t bite whoever annoys you. That’s the life!🤣😂😁😁
Rama is amazing. He talks to the things he knows, but admits to not knowing everything so he is not condescending and never takes the superior talk down position. Just an amazing fish keeper doing the hobby good. We need more Rama's in the hobby to make it better and more enjoyable for all of us. I'm not sure why that bald guy kept butting in, but I guess it is OK since it IS his channel lol. Great clip John. Love the content as always.
This guy is just such a good dude….you can tell he’s just a cool normal down to earth guy who happens to own a fish store….more of this in the Hobby! Love that puffer 😍
The only mbu puffers I've seen before has been Murphy & Ladybird. Thank you to you, Rama, and his employee for introducing us to Marty! I Would love to have one of these water puppies one day but, for now I will enjoy watching Videos from you and Cory. Thanks again!☺️
Go check out La Vaca over at Ohio Fish Rescue. She might not represent the species as a whole, but Josh and Rich found out quick... just not quick enough... that she can NOT have tank mates. She chomps every fish they've tried so far.
Some puffer can only be kept alone and some do fine with most community fish. Mbu puffers like in the video mostly do fine with fish that don't bother it. But it also depends a lot on the individual puffer. Puffers may eat any fish it wants. You never know.
Loving these videos with Rama! Very informative and beautiful fish and tanks. Keep it coming, I know he is loving the exposure. It’s a trek, but my wife and I are planning a trip to Richmond and this will be a stop.
You guys have helped me get into the hobby over the last week, I really appreciate you guys. Wanted to support you and buy some merch but you didn't have any cool shirts or anything.
Hey got a question for you. I’m interested in using Fritzyme 7 to boost the cycling of the tank. I plan to do the cycle without fish, so should I drop fish food to “feed” the bacteria until I get 0 ammonia and nitrites and only nitrates?
I feed frozen apple snails to my Spotted Congo Puffers. They love it. But to get them try I had to move the puffers attention to the food by using a laser pointer.
Hey, I have a question. Yesterday I applied a some algae remover to my tank now my tank is spotless and clean but my fish, they don’t move and just lay at the bottom of the tank they only come out to eat and it’s been like that sense yesterday. Do you know what could have happened?
It sounds like that had some really bad effects on them. I would recommend doing a large water change immediately and maybe try finding the source of the algae and fix it instead of using chemicals
I have a Betta question. I've recently taken on a friend's established tank and would love to add a male Betta but I wanted to check whether it would be OK to do so with the fish that I already have. Its a 100l tank containing 2 rosy barbs, 1 chinese algae eater, 1 clown loach, a few tetras and minnows and a really peaceful opaline Gourami. There's no conflicts at all between any of them but will a male Betta upset the balance?
I know this is a year old, but just in case someone else has a similar question. You usually have to worry about other fish bullying your Betta than the other way around. Barbs are fin nippers and will nip at the Betta fins and harm them so they're not good tank mates for them. They need a similar sized tank buddy that won't hurt their flowy fins.
I'm getting a shirt and the eucalyptus root Wednesday! Hopefully it's available then for me. Also if I end up getting a 10 gallon tank I'll probably get getting a samurai betta if I don't get a platinum dragon. I got a plakat betta now with two different colored eyes and a black mouth that makes it look sad all day lol
John and Lisa, thanks for the great video! I got a quick unrelated question. I am thinking in investing in a 535 black arowana tank with 2-3 motoro stingrays. For filtration I was going to copy Cory's 800g aquarium sump setup. I was wondering if you recommend discus for that a tank that size with the ray and arow? If you do, how many discus do you think I could do? Thank you for all your great vids!
Can anyone help me. My arowana is bitting its own tail. I have clearing the tank day by day after this incident (30%of water).And my arowana is sometimes stay at the corner of the aquarium for long time. But my arowana is eating good. What medicine do i use. Plz help my
8:53 A great informative video as usual. Rama's store looks fantastic and he has great charm, wit, and screen presence, so hopefully he will be featured regularly on KGTropicals to add his keen insight. :)
@@cinnamonsparrowdesigns those were my first puffers. Then Spotted Congo. Now I am looking into Hairy Puffer. But I just dont have the resources for t mbu.

Hi, wanna check can seachem paraguard use as a preventive or only in quarantine tank?
when cycling your tank how often should we test the water to make sure its ok for the fish?
a trick : you can watch series at Flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Joshua Owen Yea, been watching on flixzone for years myself =)
@Joshua Owen definitely, I have been watching on flixzone for since november myself :D

The videos with skoolz of fish have been your best videos and I’ve really enjoyed them. Probably the best fish store tour I’ve seen.
As Cory from Aquarium Co Op says, mbu puffers are like water puppies. So true 😂
I love Cory
@@missginger8896 He is a very benevolent fish god!
That is very correct, i has a spiny puffer. His name is MR. PUFF all caps, he is the ruller of all things water
Rama is just a good dude. Be cool to see more videos with him
Go check out La Vaca over at Ohio Fish Rescue. She might not represent the species as a whole, but Josh and Rich found out quick... just not quick enough... that she can NOT have tank mates. She chomps every fish they've tried so far.
He looks so sweet.. what kind of fish can i keep with a puffer. I see you have other fish with her..
It depends if the species of puffer and the specific puffer personality
Some puffer can only be kept alone and some do fine with most community fish. Mbu puffers like in the video mostly do fine with fish that don't bother it. But it also depends a lot on the individual puffer. Puffers may eat any fish it wants. You never know.
Puffers are fine until they get the munchies. Then everything looks like a bag of chips.
Those eyes are mesmerizing
I’ve got own a mbu puffer at some point it’s a awesome fish with a big personality and those eyes Beautiful fish! Loving the Sunday videos
Loving these videos with Rama! Very informative and beautiful fish and tanks. Keep it coming, I know he is loving the exposure. It’s a trek, but my wife and I are planning a trip to Richmond and this will be a stop.
i never knew i needed a puffer before 😍
I went to skoolz of fish today it’s an amazing shop I live 3hrs away and planing to go back
My local fish store has one of these puffers with a few smaller that are a different breed
Have you guys ever studied or looked into keeping fire eels?
You guys have helped me get into the hobby over the last week, I really appreciate you guys. Wanted to support you and buy some merch but you didn't have any cool shirts or anything.
I saw a picture of a puffer fish swallowing a small puppy's head it was on a tourist video,I'll never forget it
That is the cutest dang fish ever.
Love the puffa
Glad to know about the tank size and feeding requirements. Not for me.
He's so cute.

@@aje8790 Okay, thanks.
hay John we have goldfish how can we keep the water clean
A filter and water changes and if you want a tiny little bit of help buy some snails
What tank size are they
Filter, water change and plants even though goldfish might eat some plants
Does the puffer just lay there until feeding time
Everytime I go in that shop he/she is usually pretty active.
Where u get cooked apple snail meat. Is it frozen what brand of clam on half shell do u feed
I love puffer fish, all of them. However, I'm getting pea puffers. I don't have a large enough tank for any other types.

Great information for the puffer fish
Puffers are the best fish to keep in the hobby I love them I have 7 different types 🙈
Love the intro
Amazing video

One day i will have a mbu.
I love your channel!!!!!!
Texas Fish Room I sure hope you get your mbu. I am going to look up your channel.

What kind of microphones do y'all use for your streams?
Hi im thunking about buying some fish i have no expirience and i would aprecieate a few tips thx .love ur channel
What tank size are you thinking? And I would encourage you do research on the nitrogen cycle, also I always recommend live plants
Well won’t be getting one of these bad boys anytime soon. Super cool looking!
I have a maboo he is subadult
Nice 😍👍
So people ask for puffer keeping and you pick the extreme version? Well, people will ask again.
True lol
Yeah people prob meant pea puffers...those are tiny and much more likely for home aquarists.
@@cinnamonsparrowdesigns those were my first puffers. Then Spotted Congo. Now I am looking into Hairy Puffer. But I just dont have the resources for t mbu.
How can we follow Rama and his store?
Thats a good question! I'll ask him about that and make sure to mention it in a future video or livestream.
I wondered how to keep puffer fish because I want to buy puffer fish
I would recommend a pea puffer
Needs a bigger tank. They get 32 inch long.
Weird, you get an awesome fish,but you never get to see it puff up? I assume the fish is unhappy when it puffs, or do they get morning puff?
Hopefully you never see them puff because that would mean they are very stressed
Freshwater or Saltwater Puffer fish

One of the more expensive fish to keep...

Poor fish. This tank is way to small for his size. Disgusting.
