Thank god cory starts with the thing in the thumbnail.
Thanks mate, keep it up!
Thank god for this comment xD
Yeah honestly thank you for this comment because if I hadn't seen this I would have angrily clicked out of this video after seeing it was two hours long lol
I love that you addressed the thumbnail first thing. Spectacular work.
Right! I wish that would catch on!
I put these on at night to relax, fall asleep, and then have weird dreams involving fish! ;)
I'm glad it's not just me lol
So funny
Same here :)
Same here
Had a dream my multi shellies all turned yellow and bred like crazy last night while I fell asleep to this😂
I wish everyone followed your advice! Btw i have a receipt from you guys (online order) and someone drew a huge fish on it!! Loved it so much its on my fridge! Lol
cory do all orders have drawings on them
Mine didnt 🤷♂️
As time passes, I've found that I rewatch many of these streams, as I learn more information about this fish hobby 👍🏼💖
Same.
Me too
Yea, totally! I came back here today after 5 months 👍
I’ve been rewatching for 3 years now😎😂😂
Its my 2nd time around. I already liked this video.
I've watching Aquarium Co-Op for a long time and it's helped me get back into the hobby and has taught me a whole lot. Glad your there and teaching people how to take care of their fish. My most favorite is changing from carbon filters to the sponge. You taught that really great. I have been able to teach others about it too. God Bless and thanks.
New to home fish keeping but studied fish biology/ecology in college and work with fish as a career. This channel has some of the best info that I've come across with easy to understand analogies and explanations. Recently got an air stone for my new tank and noticed the foaming on the surface, which caught my eye. Sure enough, ammonia. Thanks for the tip and I'll keep that in mind.
I've had a nasty set back in my fish hobbie. But, thanks to you, I'm calming down. I can do this!
I fear my day like yours will come at some point as well. I am new to the hobby so I am sure I will make a mistake. Dont let it push you from the hobby! What If I may ask happened?
Been there
Tank crash?
Cory Thank you for all the knowledge and years of experience you share with all of us. You are truely a blessing to the hobby.
I’ve been back in the hobby for almost two years, I have 5 tanks and more recently started using live plants. This video has been more insightful than any other I’ve seen so far! Great job and thank you for all the great information and keep it up
I have a young son and we just started our very first tank! These videos are so awesome and the most helpful content we have come across. You're awesome, thank you!!
Wow...this is such an amazing video! Just in 30mins I've learned so many things I didn't know like blue green algae is bacterial (never had) only keep food about 1mth not the 3yrs it says it expires and that totally makes sense, stray electrical currents which is really scary thinking about my babies being shocked 24/7. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us!
You have no idea how valuable this video is as a resource. As someone who just set up his first betta tank and now is getting a 40 breeder, I have learned everything from you Cory. All the way in Columbus Ohio. I never knew fish keeping was so complex and fun!!!!!
Wow! You lost me after airstone , amonia blah blah blah
Probably one of the most useful steams for someone new to the hobby. Just picked up a our first tank for my sons 4th birthday. Look at all the disasters I have to look forward to 😄
Thanks for sharing your experience Cory👍
Hello Cory, just wanted to say thank you so much for your input and your years of knowledge and experience with freshwater fish and aquariums. I am so much more knowledgeable about the freshwater aquarium hobby, and all that comes along with it because I have kept up with your videos. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge in this industry. Thanks from Albany Oregon.
i knew something was not right when all the cichlids in my tank were sitting together at the bottom of the tank and didn't bother to come up to the surface looking for food when i turned the light on. IT was 3am i was really tired, but THANKFULLY I did check the water chemistry. Turned out to be an ammonia spike, so yes, a 3am water change with my eyes mostly shut, but it saved their lives, so def worth it!!
It’s always a pleasure to see that you are doing well
Very nice stream and people here.
Thank you Cory ... for your clear , concise and always humble and accurate teaching . I am not afraid ( of aquariums ) because I know you are out there !...
Corey, you are mover and shaker. Everyone talks about Aquarium co-op. I am proud of what you have done over the years.
Dude you're awesome, everything you've said is so on point, all I can say is people, LISTEN and learn...
hey cory love the broadcast... i missed it, but watched the replay. i have used red slime remover on cyano with good results !
@@omarmonsif6313 and why are you replying to my comment with this?
Two years later and this stream is still 100% relevant and useful. Already subscribed and I would like it twice if I could
Is it unhealthy to sleep in a room with a 50 gallon fish tank
@@gaylemccarty6916 it's only unhealthy if it annoys you and ruins your sleep schedule. Or other causes
I just found your channel today and I've subscribed for the simple reason you've pronounced the name "Betta" properly. For many years now people who work in aquarium shops have been calling this fish a "Beta", pronounced like the Greek letter. I don't know why this annoys me so much, but it does. Your advice is spot on, thanks.
Karl Z thanks. That bugs me too! I am a southerner and just think of it as the way a lot of southerners say better:bettuh.
I'm not sure why it annoys you both so much. It's been pronounced Bayta for as long as I can remember lol
@@cheers2023 long enough to be an accepted variant imo lol, backing up and saying 'bayta, wait no, bettah' is a lot more intrusive to the conversation than just forgetting and slipping into more colloquial dialect. The ones that get ME: it's Godeeeeva chocolate- call Belgium, see how they answer the phone!- the g in misogyny is a hard GREEK g, pronounce it!- as annoying as someone saying 'Jeeradelli chocolate', and insisting in Italian the g is soft (while you're internally screaming 'Not followed by an aitch!') and THERE IS NO ACCENT ON THE FINAL E IN FORTE. It's 'fort', and I have been known to consider proper usage as an informal IQ test. So if you've ever tittered the non word 'forTAY' and felt clever, 'bayta' popo, judged by your own standards, you may fall a little short. 😝 Motes in eyes and all that.
@@voluntaryismistheanswer Really? Because I always assume if someone mispronounced something it meant they have read it and haven't had anyone to speak with about it aloud.. I have never assumed someone was less intelligent for mispronounced words.
@@0walleye0 True! I learned English as an adult primarily by reading. I live in Denmark and rarely speak English, but I have a kindle so basically everything I read is in English. There are many words that I am unsure of how to pronounce correctly and I am certain there are also many words that I think I am pronouncing right, when in fact I don’t 🤷🏼♀️
It has nothing to do with my intelligence.
Never thought about the food idea. Great point!! Thank u
Thanks for all the advice love the real world analogies you keep it simple and easy for everyone to understand.
Yeah, the fish flakes going rancid, I knew about kibble, but didn't consider them (I don't use them often, just a junk food treat for guppies as often as I would let myself have a donut- wheat? Soy? Potatoes? If you want a lot of undigested dog doo in your back forty, feed grain kibble. If you want lots of undigested fish poop in your tank, feed flakes. Garbage in, garbage out).
As a newbie to the hobby I have to say THANK YOU! I’ve watched a lot of your videos and learnt a lot
Hi Cory, So happy I found your videos and your online store. Wish I was closer to visit your brick and mortar store I would be there every weekend. From your tour videos looks like your shop and operation are "fish heaven"!. :-) I live in South Florida, you are always welcome (family included) to stay with us. I know that sounds weird but sorry I feel like I know ya. Or if you just need some local advice, I can help you. Sounds like from this video you are trying to plan to come to Florida to see our fish. I am an avid scuba diver and love the ocean but I only have freshwater planted tanks haha I participate in conservation events and Lionfish derbies to cull the very detrimental invasive species. I have placed a few orders on your shop and have always been pleased with the quality, speed, and care that goes into my orders. So a big HI from Florida to you, your family, and the rest of the Aquarium Co-op team!
You totally make my day. Followed you for a long time. you truly are the definition of the teacher in high school that everybody loved!
It was fantastic meeting you at aquashella. ( Aquarium co-op bandana guy)
Thanks! Wear the bandana with pride :P
Your videos are my go to for anything aquarium related information, huge thank you for all your help.
When he said “well sure at 200°, but all our fish are dead” I lost it 😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
I lost it too! 200 degrees could have poached eggs in that water!!!!
If there's any such thing as a Cory McElroy groupie, I'm one of them!!!!! I look to your videos every time I need information about my tanks. You are the AWESOMEST!!!!! Thanks for everything you do and for sharing your knowledge (and precious time!!!!) with us and explaining it in a way that EVERYONE can understand! You da bomb!!! :-)
I always get good reminders when I wander into these streams. Plus, it beats watching the news!
Thank you so much! Your advice about the bubbles literally saved my koi beta today.
Your stress example is amazing.. Never thought of it like that
Brave man wading into the dissolved o2 thing again! Good on you, look forward to it
Some of your metaphors are hilarious Cory! The sticker bushes and tall grass had me laughing hard...
Cory,thanks for making this video.Great info for newbies and seasoned aquarist...awhile ago I had saltwater reef tank and had a powerhead short out..well the fish were electrocuted....Very bad day,losing fish is like losing a friend(this may sound silly to some) but as for the corals,weirdly enough they were actually stimulated,grew and opened up like never before,I'm not crazy nor do I recommend anyone shock their tank but I think maybe someday studies will be done on electric current and the beneficial results...as for a great diatom filter,I use a filter sock and a powerhead,works great,same results using fiber fill in a hob filter
Subscribed!!! Only watching your videos a month or so, favorite part is your not the guy who is “ if your not doing it my exact way your doing it WRONG” lots of good info and Murphy is dope!!!!!!!
The kid with a popsicle analogy was BRILLIANT
You're saving my fish's lives one show at a time.
This video is the incredibly insightful. Ty for sharing all of your fishy wisdom.
This video is pretty long and hard to navigate, maybe a time stamp with subjects would be helpful!
Christopher Schelberg
Good insight. Please see my comments as well. Hopefully they will take note :)
It is fixed
This Is A Great Video I am totally saving this one
Thanks for the video! Thanks for your time. I've learned so much from your videos!! Also have your sticker on my friend the puffer
You are amazing! Even as an experienced fish keeper, I learn from your videos. Thanks for contributing so much knowledge and experience to this hobby.
I've been keeping aquariums for over 4 decades, and ran a fish room at a shop for 5 years....
I am *always* learning new things, even after 4 decades! I wish I had known about Aquarium Co-Op when I lived in the PNW, I would have been in heaven.
So grateful!
I watch these over and over while I’m working and always pick up new info!
Dude you just saved my fish I had no idea the bubbles on the top ment ammonia! Thank you! He's safe now 🙏
I thought my beta was making a bubble nest
So what do you do ??
Amazing video! I learnt a lot from it. Tyvm Cory
Hell yeah. I subscribe and buy from your store!! You have helped me so much on my journey to starting a small aquatic biz!
What an extremely thorough and helpful video! Thank you so much!
Have a tank I’ve been filtering and try to stabilize before getting fish. This video was incredibly helpful!
When I kept fish tanks, I utilized bottom feeders and MYACIN to combat many of my fish ailments. I did get BLUE GREEN ALGAE once or twice. Once when my tank was new and uncycled.
Thank you Cory I always learn something here 👍🏼
Sir, your knowledge helps me to understand what is waiting for me later. Just got my tank and all this is great to know before hand. Kudos to you 👏 🙌 👍. And plenty of thanks!
Watching the channel for a while now but just started posting and commenting I love watching your content
just love these long form - educational - videos. thanks . subscribed.
UK subscriber.... smashed the bell and learning so much from Cory. Wish I could come and shop over in the US . Shop is looking good Cory. Keep it up.
Very useful information as always from Cory! I have learned a ton as a new fish keeper from watching your videos!
I learn so much from you Cory, it’s brilliant and you are a great presenter. Cheers 👍🏻
Your so helpful and caring about your fish I am amazed how much you have to know and learn
thanks for your time and knowledge, it's clear you are passionate about what you speak about. great work brother.
I genuinely confronted my housemate the other week asking why their hair was in my aquarium. They said they’d not been near but I didn’t believe them. Guess it was just hair algae ahaha
Even though I've been in the hobby for 15+ years,and, been lucky with basic upkeep and care with all the fish I've had,after getting a new batch of fish in January, and,losing 2 green terrors, and,a blue acara in less than 2 weeks, and watching videos like yours and others, I,1: saw how stress and parameters (water flow, overfeeding,etc) affect fish, and,2: it made me be more diligent in my upkeep of the tank..,so, again, even though I been in the hobby for years, I'm always learning.
Thanks, informative video.
I got a bit scared by the bubbles for a bit, but then I remembered I have honey gouramis and floating plants. Panic over haha
Just finished planting from a 5 day shipping wait scared me to death Cory now im sure its just die off i keep trying to rid of doing an ammonia bleep.
I am a newbie for fish. I am so excited to see you are in Edmonds, wa!!!! And I only live 40 minutes away. I will be visiting your store soon 👏🐠🐟
Youre so lucky. How was your visit? Im on thr other side of the states lol.
Lucky! I wish I lived by the co op!
your cute
You are making me homesick for the PNW, at least I can see my pretty Hoh driftwood and porphyry in my office tank and remember.
I like your approach, and I’m a newbie to this. Pictures (examples) of your topics would be very helpful. Thank you,
Brilliant!!! Thank you so much!!!
You're absolutely correct about your 'minimal soil' recommendation (1:29), and associated theory.
Add to that: 'nutrients' that are 'available' to plant roots (be it terrestrial or aquatic): the nutrients HAVE to be water soluble. This means that 'soil' added to the tank brings NOTHING nutrient wise... as whatever 'useful' that it has brought with it... IS water soluble... and moves to the filters, much as does nitrogen waste. (Iron 'flakes', going to Iron oxide, and a micro-nutro... possibly).
Even the 'sacks' of 'soil' you buy for your home garden; and the label on the bag states HOW WONDERFUL their concoction 'is.' AGAIN: their concoction HAS to be water soluble, and if a container plant, then on your second soaking... you'll see ALL their concoction exit the bottom of the container. .. and go down the drain.
I spend many evenings watching your great videos and learning. Love your stuff keep it up cheers Mel From down under New Zealand
Thank you Cory!
Excellent as always. Thanks !
I lost a betta and almost another due to bad food. I didn’t realize what was happening right away. I only switched my other betta to new food as a last resort and it really helped!
Also, food size is a big thing to watch out for too. My other tanks have dwarf gourami, and they are pigs. They out eat everything else in the tank. So I have to mix smaller food in so they don’t over eat and bloat up.
michael wagner had this happen to dry dog food too.
I learn so much from you.. Thanks for everything 🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟
This is a great channel, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with us! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love your videos and an constantly spreading the word!! Keep up the great work fellow TH-camr 😉!!
I love your videos thank you for all your help on everything i have questions about! your amazing!
thumbs up from london uk. keep up the great work bruv
omg
I do the white sour cream container!!!!!! I never knew it was like a thing but also what a crazy coincidence!!!!!!!!!! love hearing your knowledge. keep up the great work!!! I live for a peek into the mind of Cory! thanks man!!
Hey Cory, thanks for the tips. I think some time stamps in the description would be really nice for these 2 hour videos tho, maybe something to think about. At least in the long ones where you go into many different subjects.
Time stamps would be nice. I don't have time to do it, any fan is free to do it.
Very informative, will definitely watch more of your vids Thank You 👍
Blue Green algae blooms in nutrient spikes, while this can be many different sources, Excess detritus will cause it so keep a clean tank, and Phosphorus tends to be the primary nutrient that influences the growth, you can stave off Blue Green algae be monitoring and maintaining lower level of Phosphates, but this is not the only factor
Hi, could I please request you make a “highlights” clip of this type content? Ideally try for below 10 minutes. I find you have very practical advice and relatable examples for fish keepers although at 2 hours is a deterrent to watch. I still hit the like button!
I opened this video, saw the length, sighed, and thought exactly this.
Please make a highlights version so we can pick up some tips without sitting here all morning. :')
I actually love this kind of long content because I have am busy I can watch it over the span of a week just because it’s interesting to me. I can see where you guys are coming from though. In my opinion there is too many things to cram into 10 minutes because so much is important. Have a great day!
I love watching the live streams, length and all -- but I do think it would be nice to have shorter videos highlighting some of the advice you give here (and in other live streams), with a title that makes it easy to find for later rewatching...
There are shorter clips of videos, see links on original post by Cory.
I listened to it during my commute :p but I feel ya
Great video thanks Corey!
For protein "slicks" I take my plastic measuring jug and just put the spout under the surface with the body into the water. Only the slick gets hoovered slowly into the jug.
I just started a new aquarium after 30 yrs. Thanks for all the info.
Thank you for sharing so much useful information to help others succeed with fish keeping. Great info.
Love These educational videos. Makes ya think. Thanks a bunch
I love your videos and I always re watch them. Thank you
@23:00Stray current can come from damaged built-in uv lights in canister filters. I was forced to wear shoes during water changes and feeding time. The moment I switched off the UV light everything was fine
Very informative much appreciated thanks.
this is extremely helpful info! Thanks so much for sharing!
I love these live streams!
Loving your talks!!
Have been on this recording and others many times and I always learn something new!😀👌👍🏻
Loving that sticker bush analogy. Lol
14:30 xD
my puffer fish the little peas they often wait for me to get home and then wait with their faces pushed to the glas watching me what i do xD so cute and how can u not give them sth, when they are so happy about it ;p
That is the sweetest thing ever! 🐡🐡🐡
I always miss the live chats but love the info no matter what....
Oh i feel the Food Part:D I had a picky betta once and he didnt ate anything older than 2 weeks .Had to go with the sample packs from betta bites and stuff but that worked and the are reasonably cheap too .
You helped me save my 50 bby fish fry tonight! My first ever, and my plec’s first time too! 🥰 we all thank you!!!! Such great content. And I love my new salt I got from you guys as well. Cheers!
Thank you for the video! very helpful
I came across this video while searching for what could be wrong with my new setup. Fully planted, 3 month cycle, all parameters perfect. But fish not eating. Thanks to you Cory and my multimeter I discovered that a powerhead was leaking electricity. Quick replacement, tested good and now my fish are very happy and extra hungry. Huge appreciation from me and my fishes for everything you do :)
Thank you for your time and effort.
