The 'little contestants'! I love that:) I'm going to say that to whatever fish I'm looking at next time I visit the fish store.
Awesome! Please do 👏 👏
My bucket list is a little odd. Rather than specific species, my goal is to have a tank for each continent (subbing in Central America for Antarctica).
I love that idea! 🙌
One of my fantasy dream tanks is a long planted tank with schools of every single tetra there is with maybe some colorful centerpiece fish like a plakatt beta (hopefully won't snack on the tetras) keeping them in their schools back and forth from one end to the other. Imagine all the flashes of color.
I don’t think you have to worry about a betta eating the tetras, but a large tank with a community of different terra species sounds awesome! I can just picture all the color and movement
For whatever reason ive always loved danios
That last little guy (pygmy sunfish) is now going on my bucket list!
Oh, and hey Joanna, what do you think of the Lampeye Kilifish? If you’re a sucker for prominent eyes, these guys have huge blue eyeballs that are so adorable!
Oh my goodness I think we did have at one time - very cool eyes!! I need to remember that 🙌
@@thesmallscape🥰🥰🥰
Lampeye's are great! Joanna do Killi's tend to get broader as the age. Mine seems so. He or she is also a glutton! 🤣
I have a pygmy sunfish. Mine are a blackish deep blue color. Black body with almost an iridescent blue outline. I never see them. Sometimes I think they are all dead and then one pops up out of nowhere. Cool fish when they are around. All I see is the nano shrimp. Great video on these nano fish, Joanna.
What’s having them like? They’re a dream fish of mine if I can’t have the wild bettas I want (Betta Persephone if you’re curious). I heard they raise their own babies and I want to at least once have a go at a fish that does that.
@@shannarafryer3111 My fish are very shy. I never see them or if they have babies. I see them once in a blue moon and then I know that they are still alive. I don't know if they nibble on the baby nano shrimp or not. Very nice when I do see one. Give it a try.
I think the Blue Star endker is so beautiful. They do live a bit longer than guppies, which is good as I will give them all names and become very attached.
I am about to put together my first tank, and I am thrilled to have found this channel! Such great information, and delivered in such a way that it feels like you are discussing fishkeeping with a friend over coffee. Well done!
Toucan (or Toucano) Tetra on my bucket list as well. Honorable mention for the Long Fin Neon!
🙌🙌😊
Been breeding pygmy sunfish for about 6 months now. You can see them more often if you make a setup heavily planted with fine leaf plants. I have red root floaters, hornwart, dwarf hair grass, and christmas moss. You can see adults and multiple generations of juveniles in the plants. Having a more shallow tank helps too.
Ooooh!! Good to know! Thank you!! 😊
Loves your videos!
Nice list! (love your highlights!)
Hi Wendy! Thank you! 😊
Have you and Jason covered the Emerald Eye Rasbora? I just ordered some online and I can't wait to add them in with my Harlequins!
Had the tucán tetras in the planted 135 and loved them. Only live for like 3 years in my tank. Not sure of age when acquired but loved them.
I have to try the pygmy sunfish. We have a local fish club guy who can hook me up with natives. Speaking of natives, my favorite nano fish is the least killifish. I have about 50 of them in a 20 gallon with some pygmy Corydoras. They have a similar color!
I have Tocano Tetra! I love them…they are the best. Super hardy and very personable for such a small fish.
Oh wow! Lucky you. Got a photo or video you can post?
You have them?! Wow, cool!! Thanks for sharing!
Your intro pic had me excited and sad at the same time. Not many people do killifish. And the black pearl killi is my favorite. The other is the australe orange or gold. They are beautiful. Look into those.... Killifish
Pygmy sunfish are some of my favorites! Mine recognize me and know that I feed them, so they'll color up and greet me for breakfast. They're very smart and have a lot of personality, I love their mating dance! I keep three different species.
How fun!! They sound adorable!
Joanna, this summer when you get your ponds set up please take some underwater footage showing your fish. Hint: Great Small Scape update
I've always wanted to keep Congo Tetras but have only had smaller tanks so they wouldn't work. I don't have a tank now but if I did it would be cherry barbs, beautiful and hardy.
if you are looking to run a tank with softer water than you guys usually have - then a great addition would be Licorice Gouramis - I love my Parosphromenus bintan type, and I hope to add a second variety soon - my local fish shop have some Parosphromenus anjunganensis in quarantine - beautiful tiny centerpiece fish
Fun video! I have a bucket lister "almost" crossed off. Just waiting for shipping info on the 10 hummingbird tetras I ordered. Sooooo stoked!!!
🙌🙌
Only just discovered your channel, loving the content 😁
I've been in the hobby for a long time but there are still so many I'd still like to keep! I recently downsized my hobby to one shelving unit, really enjoying plants and nano fish again. I keep trying to post things on my channel, mostly just for me to keep track 😂
I had candy tetras and I loved them!!❤
Elassoma Gilberti keeper here. They are absolutely fantastic little fish. Almost non-stop display and dancing from the males. The Gilberti pygmy sunfish turn jet black with neon blue and it is such a striking little fish!
Months ago I was on the same journey looking for a long tank since I wanted to do a stream setup. I ended up finding what I thought was better, a 33L (48" x "13" x 12"). That extra 12" of length really sells the "Stream" look. For my list of nano fish, I actually got my top want. Rhinotocinclus Isabelae. What a great nano version of an Otocinclus. I really love the patterns and are just as voracious for algae as Ottos.
Good luck on your scape.
The toucan tetra and the Pygmy sunfish are both on my bucket list. For a tank mate to go with your green neon tetra i would go with more green neon tetra. Nothing beats a large school of fish.
lol! I love it! Yes MORE green neons!!!
Ohh... now I have added 2 to my bucket list... the long fin tetra and the pygme sunfish!
😊👏✅✅
I may be biased but guppies and Endlers are great choices!
Love the video, I am wanting to get back into the hobby I am 35 and haven't had a tank for years but really want to get Dwarf Snakeheads and another nano tank set up
I’m dying! 😂 Those two fish that you loved how big their eyes looked? They look like two perps who were just busted by the cops
Haha! That’s so funny! Like the wet bandits!? 😂😂
@@thesmallscape “Harry, it's our calling card! All the great ones leave their marks. We're the wet bandits!” 😂😂😂
@@InTheEndTruthWillOut 😂👏😂
@@InTheEndTruthWillOut 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bumblebee goby made my bucket list recently!
They’re adorable!! I’d love one too 😊
From the Philippines
Watching....
🐟
I’ve kept a school of the toucan tetra for about 1 year now! I keep them with green neons, since they stay about the same size and in my experience show about the same behavior. Pretty cool little fish to keep, especially once they get to know you (or that food is coming 😅). Hope you get to keep them soon. Maybe with your green neons as well? Love the list!
I know!!! That’s what I was thinking ..I thought they could be best friends!! 😊 thanks for letting me know your experience!!
I’m just starting out (or restarting after 25 years), so my tank is still cycling. I love endlers and tetras.
WOW I would LOVE to have a tank full of the longfin neons. They are stunning. Your video is the first time I've seen these fish. I'm thinking a 20 gallon long with about 25 of them in a species only tank. 🤔 Ooooooooo, that'd be so pretty. Especially with some dark green background plants. Uh oh the juices are flowing.😮 🥴🤓 Hehehehe.
Sounds stunning!^^
Imo a 20 long with a large group of around 15-20 individuals sounds to me like the perfect set up for neons, especially with lots of cover to help them stand out and feel safe
Guppies forever❤
My bucket list includes: pygmy sunfish, severums, blue eyed rainbow fish, lamp eye kilifish, threadfin rainbows and some other kilifish. Obviously not in the same tank. lol
Nice selection on there!
My bucket list is an eel don't have one particular one but would love one but don't have a big enough aquarium yet or a place to put it yet but hopefully one of these days.
I love all of the fish that are on your list. I am a sucker for fish with big eyes too. Pygmy Sunfish are such gorgeous little fish. I have a colony...the more there are, the more they are out and about 🤗 I love their shape and the way they move thru the water.
You have a colony?!? I must have forgotten if you’ve ever shared that before. How Cool !!!
@@thesmallscape I honestly am not sure if I ever mentioned it. I started with fish from Ryan at Wild Fish Tanks and some from Father Fish 🤗 They are soooo stinking cute- especially the fry!
@@audrameyer9558 I have a colony too in a 20 G long. Started out with 6 from Father Fish also. They love plants and a little algae. Have water ph about 7-7.3. A ittle soft. Not much flow and feed them live foods or frozen blood worms. They are theatre to watch. Some of the babies have grown up and put in other tanks. In the species only tank they are always out. Other tanks they come out very frequently. They love too hunt. Thinking about setting up a carpeted tank for them to hunt . Always dancing and shooing away each other .
@@deneng0259 sounds awesome!
Oh, yes, the toucan tetra!! So stink’n cute!! Wish I could keep that one, but my water is too hard.
i have just started in the nano hobby and my bucket list fr now is probably a ram pair and scarlet badis
Both really fun fish to keep!
My bucket list isn't very big but it is big. I want some hillstream loaches, a group of about 6 to 8 of them. I keep looking at a betta sorority when I get my 90 gal. tank.
Finally found your channel!
Yay!! 🙌 welcome!
Your videos have really inspired me with pursuing my own channel. I can't wait to meet you next week at Aquashella! I love the "contestants" comments.
Thank you and good luck to you! See you then! 😊
I restarted my aquarium hobby a year ago and almost since then wanted to get pearl guramis again, but it got postponed with some fish getting sick etc. and then adding one male to my platies and now there are manyyy tiny platy babies in cool colours, but yeah until I figure out how much they breed and how much I can find new homes for I keep postponing the pearl guramis as they might need good space. I also wanted to try some scarlet baddis in my 30l aquarium that currently only has shrimp, but they might snack on baby shrimp too much and not sure if they would like the bigger tank mates of the 100l tank. And if I am not careful I'm just gonna keep getting new tanks :D
I've also been wanting to try clown kilifish, but I'm afraid of them jumping :/
What do you recommend to put with dwarf gurami and dwarf rainbows?
Hi! Depends on size of tank. Guppies or platies, any neon sized tetra, Cory cats. 😊
I have some longfin neon tetras.
I find they do come with their fins a little beat up but they are very beautiful and I do have them in a 50 gallon with a short fin true giant betta who really pays no mind.
The fins are very delicate and translucent
They are very beautiful and fun to watch
You have them?! Thank you for info - the fins look quite magical in the picture, happy to hear they truly are! 👏🤩
I have 5 of the Pygmy sunfish. They remind me of my bumblebee goby tank. They perch on the rocks and drift wood. Mine are usually hiding in plain sight. It is fun to play spot the sunfish!
I have two bucket fish. First is the empire gudgeon. Second is the pearl gourami.
Do they perch on rocks too?!? I must have a little group. And you will ADORE the empires! A truly stunning 🤩 fish!
The pearl gourami is gorgeous! I love watching my girl. Right now I have peacock gudgeons which are quite adorable, but seriously considering the empire gudgeons. Just need to decide which tank they'll go in. All my tanks are community.
My gudgeons come and look at you square in the face like they are getting ready to speak! They are just so cute! Looking forward to getting the empires! 👏🏽
If you two come to Daytona this year and want some pigmy sunfish let me know! The gulf pigmy is my favorite. I know people here that catch and keep wild types.
Hey there! Oooh - I think we are flying there so that might be an option 😊
Ii would love to get some pygmy cories... But my number one fish is the blue daisy ricefish, they are so pretty! I know it is not a fish but the rabbit snail is also on my bucketlist.
They are a stunning rice fish, yes!
I’d love to keep a pair of betta rubra, some day one day❤ This is Amazing! INSTANT SUBSCRIBE🌻 keep it up!
I've never seen a long fin neon tetra
In person, neither have I! 😌
I’m still alive the weather makes me work on my yard and work well that work but hopefully run into y’all at the June swap
Hey there stranger!! Oh yes it is spring! Hopefully we will catch you at the next one!
Hi Joanna! Nice to see a few endlers made the list! They are a great little fish, hardy and beautiful colors. Yep, keep those males and females separate! This is why my bucket list is so long! All my tanks are at capacity with endlers and I don’t have room for anything else! Just when I think I have them all separated, a little fry grows up in the female tank before I have a chance to notice its colors. By then all those girls are probably pregnant again! 🤪🤣
Right?! I didn’t know if I’d get beat up in the comments for having guppies and endless on my list haha! But having just males will be so much less …stressful. Haha! I’m so anxious to finally meet Noel next weekend! Now if it was all 3 of us…someday maybe 😊 Hope you’re doing well, I WILL be getting to Waukesha this summer. 🙌
@@thesmallscape Have fun next weekend, and so glad you and Noel can finally meet! I send hugs to you both! I’m excited you’ll be getting to Waukesha this summer!! 😊🥳
I want to get tiger badis, I have four scarlet badis :)
7 fairy cichlids, 5 pgmy cory’s, and a kuhli loach, and several shrimp.
Me too! I’ve seen them at a local store and I always have to get dragged away from the tank.
@@thesmallscape
Oh, I have a update, I have 14 fairy cichlid’s now.
Спасибо большое за информацию🎉 было очень интересно посмотреть🎉 с любовью из России❤ продолжай радовать нас новыми видео❤❤❤
Actually I’m more or less searching for the Everglades Sunfish, but it’s as rare as rocking horse poo up here in Scandinavia. I think that I’ve only seen it once in the last 40 years and at that time I just not have the time and space as I was moving. 🤦♂️
😂you’re funny. I do wish you luck in acquiring this unicorn.
💙💚💙💚
longfin neon tetra shouldnt be legal
cherry tetra are not nano fish
The Everglades tiny sunfish is almost impossible for keep alive 😢
Is it?! ☹️
I want halfbeaks, but they're impossible to find locally. I'd also like Lima perurigie (spelling is off, I'm sure)
You always use the most unique tank sizes. Where did you find a 22 long?
