Happy Monday y'all, just appreciating all of you tuning in.
Really enjoy reading all the comments, and I apologize that I cannot reply in detail to every single one, but I'm trying.
Thanks so much for being such a wholesome audience 🥰😭🙏
Chris I have no idea how you do it all just keep on rocking my friend 💪😁🌿🐟🌿
we need a episode containing more shrimp
we need goldfish upload 😭😭😭
@@russian__lizard645 I'd like to add one but I forgot how to submit a tank
my subscribe button is black
Slowly noticing some Odd behavior in my betta, I immediately did water testing, but soon realized and noticed that over time she's not eating and she is slimming down a lot. She's about 3 years old now, and she's gone completely blind. I think my friends I'm going to say goodbye to an old pal quite soon.
🙄 Bless your heart.
I'm sorry. Much love to you and to her. ❤️
@@KhaeLikesCoffee thank you ❤
@@michellebarnhill5130 thank you
Hi Chris! That first bowl you looked at is actually filled with cyanobacteria and not algae! I can tell by the teal color and how easily it comes off the glass. It doesn’t take as long as algae to appear but it’s generally a sign that the “tank” needs more frequent water changes or better filtration. Happy Monday!
oh boy... that's much more dangerous right? Thx for the clarification! I needa work on my differentiating skills...
@@FishForThought I think most people have a hard time differentiating, I just have had to deal with it at work (LFS) and in my own tank once! It’s not the worst thing for a tank but its probably not something you want to ignore.
You’re the best Chris, keep it up 😊🥰
I immediately felt that fear in my *soul* when I saw the cyanobacteria. It's so hard to kill off... my absolute biggest nightmare.
Is this the same cyanobacteria that makes dogs sick in the summer? Where I live there are seemingly weekly bans on random lakes because of this.
@@AKINAacacia not sure but there are probably many kinds of cyanobacteria. It is actually one of the first forms of life to ever evolve! A primordial ooze
I love Bettas with a passion. They're so beautiful, come in many varieties, and their personalities are awesome. They're all different. I have two Bettas right now and one loves showing off and chillin' under the Amazon Frogbit, the other is a little bully that's super shy, but he always comes to the top of the tank to greet me when I'm nearby. I can never get enough Bettas, I want another already lol.
I started with a 5 gallon, fake decor, after research and watching your channel I now have a 40 gallon long with live plants natural stone and plenty of room for the fishes
Got myself a 20 gal and some tetras, my friend took one look at my setup and then pulled out his ~3 gal from childhood and shoved 2 goldfish in there with barf gravel... I just managed to get him to upgrade to a 20 gal for them... still not ideal, but way better then before!
My favorite fish of all time, since I was 12, is the Green Terror/Gold Saum. I've pretty much always kept at least one tank with them in it. I branched out of just cichlids decades ago but I always have at least one large cichlid tank with GTs in it.
Currently the thing I'm most obsessed with is our African Dwarf Frogs. We have them in 'my wife's tank' (that I somehow have done 99% of the work on, but it's still hers, smh) that sits in the living room with a betta and some kuhli loaches and a bunch of inverts. Seen them for decades, but never had any before. They're just so much fun.
I've also taken care of lotsa ADF's in my life working at LFS, but never owned any myself. Maybe it's time to cross that bridge xD
But bettas and kuhlis, oh man, is there anything more cute xD
@@FishForThought would recommend after this experience. I'm also glad we have them in with slow eating fish. Makes things a lot easier.
QOTW-- I really love Bettas. They're so nosy, they would definitely give the gossiping little old lady on your street a run for her money. My very strong 2nd runner up is Panda Garra. Also nosy af and get into eeeeeeverything. Mine is almost a year old and she loves to surf the incoming clean water on wc changes.
FTR’s are how I know it’s Monday 😌thanks for all you do chirs 💜
Qotw- probably betta. I love my platys, they're just so cute and curious, but my betta is just plain fascinating to watch. He's always doing something, always on a mission of some sort. Even my husband, who used to think bettas are boring, said yesterday that he thinks we need a betta tank in every room.
when a fish is curious = bring home with me xD
I've been following this channel for a while and wanted to say that Repashy just made my week.
Far as the end of the video question goes, I, personally, love goldfish. Unusual color patterned bettas are my second favorite.
That plant on those living room tanks are Tradescantia, very pretty plants that grow like weeds.
Tradescantia zebrina
Just got a big leaved white and green variation to mix in with the purple one. 💜
Bettas are my favorite! I’ve also always loved Goldfish and Koi but since I’m living in a small apartment with no yard for a pond that’s not in the cards right now. 😅 But I did set up a 15G with Blue Star Endlers and Pygmy Cories which I’ve really been enjoying!
The discus tank - i have 1 they are a 2x2x1 foot, very awkward sized tank, only thing i used it for previously was as a fry tank for my african cichlids, now its planted up for a betta fish. 😎
Once I upgrade my 37 gal community tank to a 75 gallon, my plakat female betta will be moving into the 37 gallon. I am also planning on upgrading my veil tail male from ten gallon to 20 gallon long. I figure I already have the tanks, I won't have to tear down my 37 gallon, my parameters will be more stable, and the bettas will have more space, so why not! They are both currently in ten gallons and honestly it seems small, it would be like me being confined to just my bedroom.
8:44 the swords are fine. Looks like the spoon-shaped emersed leaves are melting off while the slimmer submerged leaved look to be healthy.
The cool plants on the top of that tank are purple zebrinas :)
5/5 for this episode!
Qotw: a bunch of them. Corydoras, mollies, danios, Gourami, bettas, etc...
ty!! amazing rating Sam
Welcome to Fish Rank Review. The part of the show ,where Chris ranks fish tanks 😁
@@FishForThought 😁
This ftr was so good I could feel all the happiness coming inside of me😭😭😭
That first bowl would be an utterly gorgeous home for shrimp.
what kind are you thinking cause yellow neos would look SUPER dope
@@russian__lizard645 Any neos would be great in there, but I love the brighter ones - yellow, orange, and red. Greens and blues often blend in too much, depending on substrate and plants.
QOTW I love aripaimas. Would never own one though, for so many reasons. My fave aquarium fish is probably a platy, although I only have leopard danios.
Have you seen the aripaimas at Ohio Fish Rescue channel? They have BIG ONES in their indoor pool pond. One is six foot. Amazing fish rescues of fish needing better forever homes.
@@michellebarnhill5130 No I haven't, I'll check it out :)
@@bodgehubbard4908 They have AMAZING FISH! Wait till you see.
that purple plant plant is tradescantia, aka wandering dude. the other ones on the wood are air plants. hoyas have thicker, waxy leaves.
About the first one:
As someone who breeds betta fish and have pretty small quarantine and selling Tanksy this amount of algae can build in in 2-3 days if you are not careful, I experienced this when I was new to breeding for profit
Been binging old FTRs sing I just got into the hobby, I can't believe I finally caught a new one on a Monday 🐙
lets gooo! Wb to the hobby btw :)
Watching this and I got up for a snack and then Boom! My lyretail Mollys gave birth. I now have 29 happy babies sitting in a 30 gallon tank.😅
Favorite fish… definitely otocinclus. They’re so cute, and my glass has never been cleaner
Otos are my favourite too. They are so cute and I like watching them hanging out together
I wondered if bettas are prone to blindness because they are topwater predators 'always looking up for nibbles' and thats where those super bright aquarium lights happen to be.
5:35 so since finding your channel I was inspired as an adult to start keeping my own fish and I 100% agree with this statement the fluxing in water definitely makes for a difficult start up but as you’ve mentioned before (Chris) it’s important to be patient and properly cycle your tanks first and I did so not without some stress to my first plattie but I was able to resolve my issues without loss only using a small amount of medication which helped him a lot to recover and bounce back entirely I am now happy to say I have two tanks running at this time and one 45 gallon otw but as a person who really needed help with this I have you and aquarium co-op to thank for my success with my animals and my multiple plants in both my next challenge since both tanks are as stocked as I am comfortable with I am attempting to grow a non co2-ed Julian tear or dwarf grass carpet in the tanks (obviously not the same tank they would compete for resources and space ) but planting is the new challenge until my 45 is ready ❤
Almost forgot qotw and favorite fish is probably an arapaima , but I’d never have one in a tank something feels so wrong seeing them in a glass box no Matter how big unless you’re willing to be like the Ohio monster fish rescue and dechlorinate an entire Olympic size pool
Your videos give me a reason to wake up everyday
aw ty so much
When you were like "always compare yourself to people better then you" I had serious flashbacks to childhood. They promised I'd understand when I was older. But I'm older and I understand nothing lol
beta fish need normally 5 gallons but when it comes to elephant ears and half moon beta it is difficult for them to swim with there big fins so i normally keep them in a low flow 3 gallon tank.
My favorite fish are guppies! They're such busy, happy little fish.
The rainbows in the middle tank look like fork tailed rainbows (there was a fuzzy one when you zoomed in) and favorite fish is blind cave tetra. Boring color, but no eyes and is still one of the best eaters I've ever had. They get pretty big for tetras too. I like puffers too but they are such a hassle to keep happy.
My fave fish I think is the neon or cardinal tetras. Low cost for loads of color and they like to school so you get more than one. As long as the tank is an appropriate size you get a beautiful display (and even some personality 😊)
bowls are hard to estimate their size -- but I have a bowl about that size and it's 6 gallons.
I still do not keep a Betta fish in it tho.
My favourite fishes are my Pygmy Corys, and my favorite single fish is a Betta.
Peacok gudgeons are my favorites! They have so much curiosity in them. One of them followed my mystery snail for like an hour.
My favorite fish are skirted tetras. Was also my first fish. Knew myself as a child 😊 some of those tanks are absolutely gorgeous. Still waiting for my plants to fill in my 55 gallon. Will be worth it❤
ahhh skirt tetras in a 55 gallon tho, a dream... too often they are in 5 gallons.
happy ftr day everyone
i have the same bowl of the first review and i never put any fish. it was my plant heaven. i bought a 20l cube tank and put everything in it with some pinks ramshorn it was too a piece of heaven until an assassin snail hitched-hike his way in :,(
I'm grateful to have the chance to get information from channels like this, and to work in the industry before I start my own tank. Holy heck, some of these are physically painful to see.
*QOTW:* Honestly probably Garas, I'm partial to the pandas though, so tiny and cute and vastly underrated. But I also recently learned Dwarf Crayfish are a thing and they're heckin cute, too
Chris:Repashy and I are here….
Repashy:Don’t even try to pull me into this!
My favourite fish is the humphead wrasse (napoleonfish), obviously can't be kept in a fish tank since it's a massive ocean fish haha but I've always loved the size and shape of them, the subtle patterning on its skin and the dopey faces they make. There's been one at my local aquarium for as long as I can remember and I love seeing it when I visit. They're also endangered and need awareness for conservation so please look up the humphead wrasse and appreciate it for me! They're beautiful big creatures that need to be preserved!
The moment when the owner of a rented place comes in, sees a giant abandoned fish tank, and suddenly is like *New hobby obtained*
Here we go again with why I like sumps... stablizes water parameters by having a large return compartment. And the same return compartment can be set up to do water changes. And it's where losses happen instead of leaving a large ring in the main tank... yeah I can just keep going on and on about why sumps are great
My favourite groups of fish are catfish and loaches for sure. But my favourite species I have kept are my panda garra. I have a group of 6 and they are so goofy and outgoing. They are like water puppies and make their tank mates super confident too💕
The marine tank at 9:16 appears to have fake corals, the colors are too regular and the light looks like (probably) a freshwater light. (Fine for fish but won't keep corals alive.) It looks like it's probably a 20 gallon long which would be fine for a pair of common ocellarus/percula clownfish, but those appear to be maroon clowns which get as big as your hand.
QOTW: swordtails - though I don't have any tanks big enough to adequately house them right now. Something I want again in the future when I have room for a bigger tank. 🙂
my favorite fish (to keep) are goldfish. they're water puppies! better yet, they are easy to tell apart
I dont have a favorite fish yet, lol, tho my c. Habrosus are somewhere in my top five, for sure. I love goldfish (commons, comets, and shubunkins; no crushed spines or missing dorsals for me, thx, and dont even mention the bulging eyes), but dont have anything big enough for them atm. I also love reticulated hillstream loaches, most labyrinth fish, and badis are on my list to get asap, as well as a betta. I also badly want endlers/guppies, and crystal red shrimp, and blue diamond/velvet neocaridina. I have a long list, and each on that list so far is in for a long wait, as i dont have space to put up all (or most) of the tanks i want. I also want some dwarf rainbowfish, pea puffers, odessa barbs...yeah, very long list. 😅
Betta believe it! I remember going to a fish store in the city pretending to be a newbie in Fish Keeping and the store keeper def are making madeup fish keeping myths and no offense to him I was laughing inside ✌😅
🤣 LOLZ 🤣😂
laughing inside, we can both relate to that xD Some of the things I hear... oh boy haha
Renters abandon animals all the time. It's messed up.
Brother has a albino Colombian boa that he rescued after his building manager contacted him about two abandoned snakes in a neighbouring apartment. Poor snakes had been left about a month previously. No food, water dried up weeks ago, no heat aside from ambient room temperature. He still has Carlita, nearly 20 years later.
Also, that mystery plant you were wondering about, it looks like spiderwort. I love that stuff. Grows like nobody's business in basically all conditions, runners for days.
I laughed so hard at the end I *subconsciously answered "Endlers!" out loud then you *went "That's right!". Seriously caught me by surprise 😂
* : edits
QoTW:
My favorite fish is most likely Northern Pike, they are invasive where I live but I just wish I had a couple in a personal large pond to study.
I really love wild bettas. I kept two generations of B. mahachaiensis which I find really great. ❤️ But there is more, can't tell just one species as there is like 33 000 known species of fish!
i feel like i answered todays question already in an earlier episode... and now i'm scared to answer, because what if i say something different than last time. It will look like i am lying! Lying about my favorite fish!? Everyone will think i'm psycho!!! *internal screaming intensifies
My betta Ryuiji passed last monday, he was barely a year it was dropsy that took him so now I got a 10 gallon sitting over wondering what to do next. Any advice from anyone?
I hate losing fish. Sorry yours died so young.
Sorry to hear you lost your little guy. I got into fish after losing my eighteen year old cat, learning about fish helped me work through the pain. My suggestion might sound a little callous, but get another fish. Either a new betta and focus on learning his personality traits, or do some research on other fish that enjoy 10 gallon tanks. Give your mind something to work on while you go through the grief.
sry to hear that man :(
*Tiger shovelnose red tail cat hybrid* -- or simply a red tail cat.
Obviously, this is a pond fish, and we dream to have a pond big enough for one. (:
//An ex really into fish had this hybrid fish, it would eat from our hands and often come up for boops.
We could not secure its safe travels when we left the ex, and he ended up traumatizing the fish to death after several huge moves poorly managed. ):
HAPPY MONDAY.. I'm ready to sync up and receive some sarcasm.😂 This sarcasm is intended to help you grow 👍💪🌿🐟🌿♥️🤞🙏😁
haha yes xD
happy monday Mary!
@@FishForThought oh and how could I ever forget to tell you my favorite fish 😂😂Bettas and the magnificent corycats♥️♥️♥️♥️
Not a Hoya, but airplants mounted on a root, next to them tradescandia also known as wondering Jewel (or Jew)
This is what I look forward to on Mondays!
Favorite fish..... MMMMMMMMM UHHHH IIIIIII UHHHHHHHH..... probably gourami as a whole but I just love my sparkling gourami. I love the blue green and gold colors and how curious they are. Though I also love corys. And I have a kuhli loach love as well. I love my Pasta Bowl Gang of little noodles. BUT I also super want to have a tank with endlers at some point when I have more space for a few more tanks.
Healthy Algae means healthy water parameters. Algae provides oxygen and filters nitrates
My favorite fish (animal) on this planet is the comet/common goldfish. Until recently they're the only fish I've ever had for the past 20 years. No worries though, mine were always in 55gal or more and are currently in a 300 gal which they're gonna stay in
Tbf that first bowl looked like it had a problem with cyanobacteria, which I swear doubled overnight in one of my tanks. I blinked and it took over everything. Not saying that bowl is perfect (it was clearly very gunky and definitely needed a water change) but yeah.
QoTW: basic answer, but I love bettas. I've formed some special attachments with them over the years. I've never been able to have a very big tank but bettas have so much personality in a small and beautiful package.
Rapashy and Milly watching these videos: CANT BE US
lmao xD
On the salt water tank: The rule of thumb is you get 1 either fish or coral, not both. A lot of those fish in there will eat the coral if they get to hungry. So my money is on the coral being fake.
Petition for a repashy slep cam
Let’s all be honest, we stay till the end for that bop of a song
Oranda goldfish are my favorite so far!
May favorite fish at the moment is 100% between betta fish and dwarf gouramis they have so much personality ❤
I skipped school today because I needed to watch this. :)
i do not approve of this message, please don't skip school @.@
Chris how did you feel the first time you touched repashi ; finally FTR my weekly coffee ☕️
My favourite fish is the angel fish. I love them so much, they're just so pretty. Same with appistogtrama's
The best day of the week! Fish 👏 tank 👏 review 👏
People do not know how to raise Betta fish at all because the stores don't give the information. They are actually fun with personalities!
The vining plant is tradescantia zebrina.
I don’t have one favourite fish. My favourite shifts day to day.
What if that betta bowl guy just showed the bowl in reverse. Like the end of the video was actually the beginning, then it falls into disrepair and looks like black death after 4 weeks.
This makes much more sense. I had that algae once and it killed some of my plants before I get rid of it.
Those fake corals in the saltwater tank is de equivalent of the blue and pink gravel mix in a fresh water tank. That tank is too small for even one individual of some of those fish in there. The one on left lower corner is an angel fish which will get up to a foot long. The blue tang (Dory) will also quickly outgrow this tank. The damsels will kill each other, if the Angel didn’t already do it.
It’s not only overstocked but it’s all the wrong choices put together.
my favorite fish would probably be a angelfiish it was the first fish that made me want to start a freshwater tank
Today (October 10) would of been my first bettas birth day. He died at 1 year old due to what we think was swim bladder. We had a 10 gallon and before we were going to upgrade to a 20 he died. Today he would of been 2 years old and he’s buried in my garden :).
Here comes the “who asked” replies lol.
My first was named George. He was a feisty little dude and lived a few years making me and my mom so happy to see him each day :) RIP George. You started my aqua hobby off with high standards.
Cardinal Tetras are my favorite fish of all time. Since I started into the hobby until now, Cardinal Tetras all the way!
In certain countries, Thailand mainly, foreigners can't own land so might still be well off and renting.
The plant you were looking to name, not a Hoya, at all.
Tradescantia or the ever so questionable name, wandering Jew, or inch plant.
They grow and grow, they just don’t quit, no matter what you do to it
Yoooo! Our main host is back!
.
Omg the renters that left the fish tank setup and fish just gave the owner 2k$+. Look at that dang setup and fish!
All my fish are my favorites, of course!
QOTW is a loaded question. lol My top five: Oscar, Angelfish, Pearl Gourami, Kuhli loach, Corydoras
haha xD my bad
6:25 awesome tank just feel bad for them about the tradescantia zebrina thats gonna grow. And grow. And grow. And take over your life lol
hi chris can u do a tutorial on how to make a mini patio pond (cuz i am trying to make one for my pet turtle)
I think Serpa Design did one a while back. His channel has a lot of cool builds.
i have one for goldfish but can also be translated to turtles like musk turtle or something smaller :)
That guy found that fishtank with the arowana, because the tenant got evicted, because he spent all his money on a giant fish tank and arowana. Lol 😂
Wait that is NOT a real dinosaur 🦖 🔥👍
Aquatic snails my beloved! 😍😍
While the betta in the first tank looks fine, why not just go bigger. A 10 gallon is $20 max and with a full upgrade with more plants, I'd say that an upgrade could be done right at under $100.
Hay Chris I have been watching and learning from your funny vids for a while recently I made a new tank inspired by what you say so I wanna say keep making awsome vids
Video: 4.9/5 Keep it up!
Qotw: That is a hard one but if I have to narrow it down: Japanese rice fish (So many colors but the pearls are my favorite)
Honestly corydoras catfish are up there with bettas for favorite fish, but I'll have to go with the killifish for top of that list, though I haven't decided on a top species within the group since I've kept a few least killifish (not true killis), have a few garderi killifish rn and also what might be a golden killifish female that loves hanging out with my female betta I kept in their tank, other female got moved to her own tank by the male since I've ended up deciding against trying to breed him, but she's keeping the tank anyway since they're chill being in sight of each other. Also, the only other killifish species I've seen for sale lately is the golden wonder but I haven't kept any as if right now, and no, the possibly golden I have isn't a golden wonder, it's smth else I can't figure out because random stuff sometimes gets dragged in with the feeders and they might actually be brackish, I just decided not to risk testing that in case it isn't salt tolerant ^^'
Hard one but gotta go with platys and Goldfish(Oranda and Ranchus)
02:37:
We already know the answer Chris
Hi im having a bit of an issue with my betta fish when i turn off his tank light he is ok but when i turn off my bedrooms lights he gets so defensive is there an explanation and what can i do for him
