In this video I went to the fish store and picked out a cool tank. This tank was not only cheap but it was super easy to set up. I’m not exactly sure what I’m gonna get for it yet, but you could help me with that by commenting below! With a great filtration, live plants, and bright lighting this little aquarium is ready to go🤯🐟🐠

This reminds me of your OG videos 💪💪💪
6:26 the Music tank lol
Hi 👋 good video 👍 keep up the good work making more new funny video 😂
Miniature shrimp, (i don't think you've done that yet) I think it could be a big enough tank for around 24 maybe??
Pls show more axolotl videos
I think some good quality cherry shrimp would look great in the tank. The red would pop against the black gravel and the plants.
Yes!! The tank is way too small for any type of fish so that would be perfect!! Maybe even a couple snails if they’re suitable in there!! Don’t know much about them though lol
Yes yes very good idea
Or a great white shark
Yesss
@@mitziratcliff8873 the tank is WAY too small for any fish. Neons require at least 10 gallons. All that is suitable for a tank under 5 gallons is shrimp. Or plants ofc
Thank you all for the support! Reading through your comments ALWAYS makes my day, whether I get back to you here or not just know I highly appreciate your support❤️
We all appreciate the grind!
Dumb cuffaro
Cherry shrimp and ember tetras please
Neon Fish
some cool color tetras plz
From the backyard of your parents house to now on your second house I’ve been watching your channel and throughout the years watching you and your pets relieve my stress thank you Paul
I'd recommend adding maybe some small shrimp species into the tank as it is fairly small
Cuffaro Ranch is on the way. Filled with goats, ducks, chickens, pigs and horse. We are getting excited bro Paul uploads! More power Cuffaros! 😊
I think that some bright and colorful guppies would look great!
I agree!! The farm is totally coming along😊
@@madisan7011 Guppies are great fish but even endlers livebearers would not be happy in a 2.6 gallon tank.
Cherry Shrimp would look great in this tank. The red will definitely pop against the black gravel. Keep up the great work Paul!
I think that the tank would look amazing with some blue or white shrimp
Nah I say blue whale
Also, for the goat enclosure, you should add a treehouse kind of playground!!! That would be crazy!
Yes
Neocaridina yellowback shrimps!
Easy maintenance and also will shine brightly amidst the black substrate and dark colour driftwood :)
Honestly would love to see some Caridina shrip, as not alot of people actually own them and their patterns look amazing. Also maybe 1 or 2 nerite snails
Some cherry shrimp would look stunning in the tank!! They’d really pop! The tank is unfortunately too small for any fish, even guppies, but I see a lot of people saying shrimp and I couldn’t agree more!
omg are living i heaven, and ur not even dead, ur a happy dude, bless u
The only fish I could think of are 3-5 chili rasboras as they are miniscule, so long as the temperature is warm enough but seeing as your in florida I doubt thats a problem but shrimp and snails seem like great options too! Yeah now that I'm looking at the tank in more detail safer to go for shrimp as 3 chilis would not be enough for them too feel safe and the cube shape would not offer enough swimming room
I wouldn't really suggest those in a 2.6gal tank for chilli rasboras. They are a schooling fish, so they need to be kept in a group of 6 or more in a minimum of 10 gallons and need the available swimming space. Unfortunately, there are no fish that should be kept in anything under 5 gallons as it's not ethical to keep fish in anything small. Shrimp are a much better option for smaller tanks.
@@IcyFrantik very true and honestly `I would not even keep any shrimp under 2.5 gallons as even the little guys need space I agree I have seen one person do it ok but it would certainly be better with shrimp as well as the tank being a cube shape instead of long and the chili's do need school so It would be too cramped
@@T-Natrix Shrimp have a pretty low bioload as some small species of fish but even then shrimp would be fine in a 2.6 just not so much with fish. I personally would rather keep shrimp in larger tanks so they have a larger space to swim around in.
@@IcyFrantik same here and thanks for correcting me about the chilli rasboras and its always best to go for bigger options if possible I think the only reason I said chilis rasboras was because of a channel called MD fish tanks who I really enjoy watching and his tank looked nice but it did look rather small and even tho I trust most things on his channel best to do your own reasurch
@@T-Natrix MD Fish Tanks is okay for the most part on some of his tanks but his smaller tank builds are questionable and do require to be questioned about housing when it comes to small species of fish and doing research on said fish on their home environment in the wild and finding scientific bases to make sure the tank they're going into is justified.
I think some cherry barbs would pop so well against the black substrate and plants. My local fish store has a tiny tank + loads of plants and a few cherry barb and it’s my favourite tank! I always look at it when I go.
Hey Paul I have been watching for 5 years and you are for sure my favorite youtuber. I wish you the best of luck with your future😊 I think you should get a galaxy rasbora. Its small and cool looking which is perfect for your tank. I'm sure that you will get something epic. API rocks. Love you man.
Thanks for being awesome !
you should learn more about live plants they are so beautiful and I think it would be cool to see them more in your aquariums
The tank would be cool to see one of a couple different colored shrimp, and see what happens when they mix colors over time
If they mix they become grey
they turn brown
Paul your videos are awesome, they are so entertaining, and i always look foward to watching them, keep up the great work :)
Hey Paul, we are happy to see you going with live plants. We had aquariums going back 30 years, and only started using live plants last year. It's more work but so satisfying when it works out 🙂
This tank would look great with some cherry shrimp or another colour of shrimp. Something else you could consider is a couple of dwarf rasboras
Even though dwarf rasboras are quite small 2.6 gallons would not be good enough, better to go at least 5+ gallons
white water mountain minnows would pop with the darker theme and I bet you could even do some otto catfish too.
1:01 hey Paul just so you know, those aren't palmettos, they are the everglades palm, Acoelorrhaphe wrightii. Personally I think a better choice would be the pygmy date palm, Phoenix Robelleni.
Who else agrees that it good to see another good old fashioned fish tank set up
Neon tetras, Cory doras, betta fish!!! It’ll be perfect
Your videos are amazing!!! Keep up the good work Paul!!! Been watching for 3 years and have a channel of my own!
Love your vids, the new horse is so cute. I’m so excited for the stuff happening at pc farm 2. Keep up the great work :)
neon tetras!!!! They would look so sick.
Hey paul love ur videos and neon tetras or glowfish will look amazing in that tank
It isn’t big enough , also glowfish aren’t a species but all ones are too big for a small tank like that
I used to have zebra fish in my 2.6 gallon, but some neon tetras would be cool too.
Ghost shrimp would be a great addition to that tank, and because of the black gravel it would pop up against it amazingly . (Keep up the good work, loving your videos hope I could be like you one day...)
Put a cat fish in the tank lol
@@Idk_Erico a cat fish might be too much for 2.6 gallon
i think otocinclus catfish and/or white cloud minnows would be great because the background and gravel are black where they will pop in the aquarium and they are peaceful fish
Minnows like a long aquarium since they like to swim fast, I disagree with ur opinion.... He could go with shrimps or a betta
@@DanRemdor ok
yooooo the tank looks epic! can't wait
i think a dwarfpuffer and some cherry shrimp would look amazing in this tank. love your vids paul!
Dwarf puffers would destory any invert including shrimp, especially in a small tank where there isn't hiding room for the shrimp
it’s too small for a pea puffer they swim ALOT
Too small, pea puffers are shoaling fish, especially in the wild. They do need to be kept in groups so a 15-20gallon(long) would be recommended to house them.
I have literally the same exact tank as the one you just got! In my tank, I have an African dwarf frog, and he is soooo derpy and adorable! I think you should get that, since it only gets about an inch long, and 2 inches fully extended. You could also get some neon tetras with your frog, since that’s what I have, and even a shrimp! I named my shrimp cherry since it’s a cherry shrimp, so that’s a cool name, and my frog peco, because in Italian, peco means small and it’s a dwarf frog! I really hope you enjoy whatever fish you end up getting……. I didn’t leave just yet. YOU MUST get a cooly loach, and name it noodle. They are soooooooooooo cuuuuuuute. This is what I recommend! 😄😄😄 great vid!
Too small for neons they need 10gallons at least but I do love the idea of the frog 👌🏻
Way too small! That tank can’t have anything more then some shrimp!
Or a grow out tank for small baby fish !
Please upgrade your tank, research online
@@foxesproject5031 This tank only contains my frog and loach, and they are a species that can happily live in this tank, please trust that I HAVE done my research. I put my neon tetras in a 20 gallon long, and if ever any of my fish get to big, I have a 75 gallon tank. I always wanted a minurature acquarium, and I made sure that whatever fish I put, would be happy, but thank you for carring anyways!
@@hollymarrone8182 I don’t think the 2.6 gal is big enough for either of those- I heard that loaches get a good few inches long and they do need lots of cover, but African Dwarf frogs grow big too so they will be stunted in a small tank
@@foxesproject5031 I think your mixing up African DWARF frogs with African CLOG frogs. African clog frogs get huge, so I can understand your mist understanding. An African dwarf frog will naturally stay about an inch long.
We don’t talk about noodle nonono (my loach) 😢. I only said that because he was my favourite pet ever. Once he flopped out of the tank while I was changing the water, but he hid himself under my bed, and I never saw him until 3 days later dead. He was the best pet ever, and if he was still with us and if ever he did outgrow his tank, I would switch him into my 20 gallon tank. Rip noodle. I think it would make a great little fish for his tank, and considering that i think it would make pc happy, he could always upgrade his noodle to a bigger tank!
African Dwarf Frogs would do great in there. They have a great personality too
A Zebra danios would be wonderful in the 3 gallon tank. It would really just blend in with the colors and it also is about one in a half inches long.
Way to small for zebras. They are schooling fish and need a minimum of 6 fish to be happy. They are also extremely active so a 5 gallon would be minimum 10 would be better.
@@user-uj7sd4dk7p zebra danios are very active and fast swimmer, I wouldn’t recommend anything smaller than a 40 gallon
@@Shadowspets I'd say thays a bit overkill but a bigger tank is always better.
That is awesome!! Keep up the good work!!
Tetras would also look really good, they would really stand out :)
no fish, too small
So fun!!! Can’t imagine all the hard work you put in to make this all happen but still living the life. Awesome videos bro!!👏🏼👏🏼
Love your vids paul keep up the grind!!!
So right
Hey Paul!!! You should tot get Indonesian Super Dwarf fish, they’re the smallest aquarium freshwater fish!!! It’d be a great addition to your collection and an awesome piece for ur bathroom!!!
Love ya man! All the best wishes and God Bless you!!! 😊
I think either a pea puffer or a couple celestial pearl danios would look great. Keep up the great work!
For the tank, I think a coi beta fish would like good. It has lots of bright red and orange which would go well with the tank… or a blue shrimp with some Minos or food they like to feed on!
the tanks too small for a beta
are you insane
Betas cant live in a 3 gallon tank.
@@ibtyx1 some specifies can, I have my coi beta in a 5 g tank, but if you wanted to buy a baby or only a couple month old fish you could
@@CiaosRC for a baby yes, but then he'd have to move it as soon as it grows up. i think shrimp or some sort of snails would be a smarter choice.
Green neons! They sparkle!!
Genuinely impressed with your change in fishkeeping
Here's a fish you haven't had yet and no one will suggest for that tank. Zebra Danios. The tank is not temperature controlled and these fish are hardy and can take the temp changes. They are extremely active as well. Long tail fancy, standard and I think there are glow danios. You've done Shrimp and Beta tanks before. Try the Zebra Danios.
Danios are schooling fish and active swimmers, this tank is not large enough for them
tank isn’t big enough!
Haven’t seen a fish trap video in ages or any sort of oven video I love when you catch and keep 💯 ps, you’re the best
Hi Paul! You might not see this but I think for your tank you should get a Cory catfish, small barbs or some danois's! Hope my ideas are good!
Those fish are lovely fish but I would not recommend to put any fish in a 2.6 gallon, shrimp can live there but those guys would need 5-10 minimum.
I would personally choose something,like cherry shrimp,guppy’s or maybe some neon tetras.
Cherry shrimp would look amazing in it!! Though it’s far too small for any fish. Guppies require at least 5 gallons and neon tetras require at least 10 gallons 🥰❤️
personally i think that discus at 5:55 would look good
Dude I never see anybody having dwarf gouramis and it would be perfect for that tank. Also adding shrimp in there you should do a bunch of blue and red shrimp. I would look awesome against the black and green in your aquarium. Either way I look forward to seeing more of your content man!
Not big enough for dwarf gouramis
that tank is way too small for dwarf gourami's
too small that would be torture
Those dwarf gouramis would be miserable but shrimp would be good
hey Paul i think you should do a blue crayfish or you should do a over halfmoon betta fish.also i am a really big fan of your channel
API JUST KILLED MY FISH i posted a video about it all my tangs and coral beauty and more fish i made a video about it because the copper test kit from api is a pain
I think a red or blue fighting fish would look amazing as it would stand out against the black gravel. And a plecko or two to go with it. Similar to what you did for your mums tank a while back.
PLECO IN A 2.6?!?! Even having any dwarf pleco species in there would be torture for them. These fish need bigger tanks.
Bettas require 5 or more gallons of water (would be very unethical to keep any kind of fish in a 2.6 gallon tank. With plecos, NO, never. The smallest species of plecos get around 5-6 inches and would get too large for this tank. They'd require 30 gallons or more to keep most dwarf species of plecos.
1st
He was
second
This ain't cheap dude, get realistic
HEY BRO!! FISHKEEPING IS A EXPENSIVE HOBBIE :D
@@chancegreen214 can get very expensive but I love it. It's worth it
Dwarf Mexican crayfish are cool stay small and they are vibrant orange
1 or 2 pea puffers will look great in the tank especially that pea puffers have a nice personality
PEA PUFFERS! (I am working on getting my own now!) Community pea puffer tanks are sooooo entertaining!
You should do a betta fish it would look perfect in there especially like a bright orange one because of the dark gravel
Betta in a small tank? 🤨Bettas require 5 or more gallons of water. They often swim a lot so they need the space to be able to swim around and venture. Keeping fish in anything under 5 gallons would be considered unethical. Small tanks are just companies way of trying to make an easy sale on people that know nothing about fish to justify abuse to common fish in small tanks.
Going back to the roots. ✊
I love the tank Paul and I think that you should get neon tetras for the tank
Great episode. Bumblebee shrimp would look nice in the new tank
I think you should put a betta Fish in the tank because they like small spaces and lots of hiding spots and also you’re a huge inspiration to me and I really appreciate you making so many videos so keep on going with the hard work
Didn’t expect a horse in the yard but i love it 😂
I say you should do a dwarf frogs we haven’t seen nothing but fish and shrimp in your tanks so a dwarf frog would be dope
A skittles tank (mix of different colored shrimp)
Snails
Dwarf frog
you could make a community fish tank with guppies, platies, a few galaxy rasboras and some tetras
you could also have cherry shrimp at the bottom of the tank
I would add Neon Tetras in all different colors. They can act as a night light for those middle of the night trips to the bathroom.
Either a Betta or Shrimp. Love seeing this kind of video again!
Neon tetras would look FIRE IN THERE.
you could add 5 ember tetras. they school pretty cool. they have a really red color thats pops out in the tank. You could also add some white shrimp. you would have to get these from a specific store for fish because they dont carry them at the big stores. they wojld contrast with the red really well. JUST PLEASE DONT PUT A BETTA IN!!!!They require at least 5 gallons.
Ember tetras would not do good in 2.6, plus you need more than 5
Yellow bettas is perfect. It also matches the tank
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A TANK SETUP LETSGOOO
Hey Paul love your vids. I've been watching you for about 4 years and never disliked a video you are awesome and I have learned a lot about fish with your help
Some coral banded shrimp Would absolutely pop in that tank 😍
Neons and shrimp would be awesome in there!
Hello Paul! I think you should do cardina or neocardina shrimp! They are really small and cute! You can get about 15 or so and they come in all different colors! They love the plants and driftwood. They also look very good in planted tanks! Anyway, thanks for making my day when you post and upload! Your very knowledge and I love watching your videos!
I think a pair (male and female) small fish would be cool for the 2.6 gallon tank! Like two Molly's or guppies would be fun. Or those tiny fresh water 🤏 pea puffer fish's would be soooo cool 😎🤌
You should make that a shrimp tank with pretty colors and maybe like 4 tetras just to have some above movment in the tank. The real plants and log look beautiful in that tank.
Ideal aquarium size and enviroment for betta, thats for sure.
Literally just got some pufferfish and then came back to see this great video
love your videos paul you take so much time and effort trying to make everybody happy and yourselves you truly make others around the world happy I think that you should put guppies inside of that tank that would look really cool
some neon tetras would look beautiful with the live plants
Neon tetras would look really nice in there
Hello Paul, I think you should get a Siamese fighting fish for your 2.6 gallon tank
Get forktail blue-eyes! Their colors will pop like crazy in that aquarium! And they stay small aswell 😁
Killifish so pretty so vibrant
definitely a very exotic betta fish
8:05 Two male bettas, a single clownfish, and maybe a Tiger barb? Those will look great! 😃
(IM JOKING BTW-)
School of Cardinal Tetras or Rainbow Tetras would look good in that 2.6 gal, bathroom tank!
Shrimp would be epic especially cherry shrimp
Baby sunshine plecko with a matching colour Betta fish. With just a few Molly’s. My betta love my Molly’s.
Cherry Shrimp! :D I love them! But maybe only like 5-10 or something since it's around a 3 gallon tank.
Least Killifish would look cool in there 👍
I think you should get some guppy’s or neon tetras as they are really bright and colourful! 🐠
Freshwater shrimp tank for sure!!!
Fancy tailed guppies. Cool when they have babies 👍
Maybe a betta, shrimp, small gourami like honey gourami. They look very cute!
