@KGTropicals please help me! I bought a goldfish the the bubbly eyes and he has been a happy swimming fish! Its been a month now, and his eyes are covered in clouded white? He also looks like he has a 3rd eye coming in?? WHAT DO I DO???
Anyone else here who's a total beginner but loves watching the advanced tips/type videos for something to strive to? And also cause John and Lisa are great :)
I love how John and Lisa banter back-and-forth it adds comedy to the content. also I’m super happy to have stumbled upon peacock bass… I like them and I think I’ll have to get some.
John, I was taking a drink of coffee when you said if you don’t like Oscars you can go F. Lmao 😂. Now I have to change my shirt and dry off the dog. 😂🤣 btw I do like Oscars.
So funny you mention Creatures ‘n Critters. It’s that exact store that got me into the hobby 30+ years ago. We used to ride our bikes there after school and one day they were giving gold fish away. Of course we took some, went home and had no where to keep them. So back to the store we went with our mom to get fish bowls! And the rest as they say is history!
Arowana are awesome fish! My father used to own a Silver Arowana when he was younger. At least in his 20's. He never had any tankmates though. But he was always trying to jump out of the tank.
I adore my blood parrots! I'll fight ya if you degrade them lmao. They are such a joy with my oscars and severums. Oh and have silver dollars with them too.
Thanks for the video John. I knew very little about these huge fish. I am more knowledgeable about them. Great video. By the way, I was not able to get onto tank talk live this pass Thursday. Was there tank talk or is it my I-pad?
I have silver arowana with pbass and bichirs, it's a good combination, you can feed arowana first with cricket because i also have gecko that eat cricket, then feed pbass with little fish, the last give the bichirs sinking pelet they love it
I have a now 15” a silver Arowana sharing a tank with my Brichardis. Yes, they’re doing good together. The Arowana was a juvie when I got him, about 6-7”. I dropped them in the rank at the same time.
Are used to have a 400 gallon outside pond with heaters infiltration systems and I had silver arowana,, angelfish, lungfish and Gourami; And had no issues.
I’ve got my Arowana paired with my Red Tail, may seem odd but the pair actually work, the catfish cleans the bottom of the tank and starts to roam at night while the Arowana stays on the top of the water and rests at night.
My Arowana is getting scared after adding a pair of Severems in the tank. Arowana 5 to 6 inches and severms are like 3 inches. Will they be fine after a couple of days Or should I remove them.. Please someone advise.. Thanx!!
Do you think that, stingrays contribute to the forming of "drop eye" more than any other mates? (they're underneath constantly moving, digging, hiding, eating ect...)
my experience with aros and stringrays i feel like my aros IF there was sand that made them blend in the aro didnt even notice em so yes theres a chance but not gonna be as common.
what about creating problems for erawanas with tankmates swimming below-- I have learned that this makes the erawanas nervous and they are constantly trying to look below, and that constant looking can cause the notorious dropeye problem for the erawanas.
I have two tiger oscars that like to beat up my silver arowana. The arowana is 7 inches and the oscars are 3 inches. I've tried to put fake plants that float to give him cover but nothing seems to work. Do you have any suggestions on how to stop the oscsrs from bullying?
I'm in the beginning of cycling my 10 gallon tank And I notice not one person told me if the rotten food on the bottom should be pick up and cleaned.. after the Cycling and i am ready for my fish? What do i do with the food on the bottom people told me to put fakes in there because i use api stress coat and api zmth and that is a Bacteria so then someone said i would put fish flakes in so the Bacteria can eat the food? Step by step on how to Cycle your tank with the API products and flakes, also- i did some water changes too but i always do put a tiny more in then it says .. not too much but just always think that its safe to do so but that's not my question my question is! What do WE DO WITH THE FOOD ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK THAT ROT.. WHEN PUTTING FISH IN THERE YOU ALL SAID NOT TO AT ALL CLEAN THE TANK WHEN FISH GO IN WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU DO IT MY WAY! HOW CAN YOU KNOW TO LEAVE THE FOOD ON BOTTOM OR CLEAN IT UP AFTER THE Cycling process is done! Api stress coat Api stress zyme Fish flakes that's what i use to Cycle my tank it's been about a month I understand my tank is not ready yet so I'm not rushing You all did a show about the beginning fish people the other day but what about step by step on how to get a new tank ready? And what to do with the fish food! On the bottom I love all fish! And i don't have anyone with any filter so i am stuck with doing it the way i am please make a vid about this soooooo many people ask about it my kids dad laughed said its These the science get a plant or a fish to Cycle the bacteria in the tank something like that well that's what he said""" Please step by step by using fish food and api conditioner products on how to Cycle your tank
I see an edit in your future, John. Not only did you saddle Lisa with the controversial fish so you can come out looking like the good guy, you misnamed it as a jaguar - lol And the bottom line is this; if you don't like your whoops-a-daisies pointed out, you can go f... 🤣🤣🤣
I just want to add to the common pleco, there are lots of other plcos that are bigger that would do super well too. Like the red fin and leopard cactus pleco
@kgtropicals if u find alil extra time can u look at the video i just uploaded of my api test results ? I set up a new tank about 4 weeks ago just need a second opinion
I just bought a peacock bass a week ago. he kept hiding behind the pump and does not eat he only comes out when no one is around and when I try to feed him he will bolt right back to the corner.
I used to have Jaguar cichlid that tried to pair off with an Oscar. It was interesting to see a pair of Oscars on one side of the tank and an Oscar and a Jaguar cichlid trying to pair off on the other

"If you don't like oscars, you can go fu..."
Shots fired at palmer aquatics.
Lmao
What do you mean?
It was intended for anyone lol. I thought he liked Oscars anyway.
He did a video not too long ago about reasons why not to buy an oscar.
I’m planning on getting a 75 to 80 gallon Oscar tank. I feel ya
Vic Philip wouldn’t let me get an oscar so i just got my dad to take me to get the tank and when we got home my mum just stormed off

Red tail
I love how John and Lisa banter back-and-forth it adds comedy to the content.

You must have pretty sucky parents
Oh my God u are weird
So true
I love that john admits he called them sucker fish for like 5 years...!!!

John, I was taking a drink of coffee when you said if you don’t like Oscars you can go F. Lmao 😂. Now I have to change my shirt and dry off the dog. 😂🤣 btw I do like Oscars.
Was the doggy burned😥 or was it cold coffee.I had water so I just mopped.😌
She’s fine. The coffee had cooled down.
I frequented creature and critters all the time. Loved that store.

Silver dollars are amazing. One of my favorite fish. They r so skiddish but beautiful
I agree!
I adore my blood parrots! I'll fight ya if you degrade them lmao. They are such a joy with my oscars and severums. Oh and have silver dollars with them too.
Totally agree!!
Awe,Oscars are adorable ❤️
Thanks great vid I’ve kept all but the blood parrots with my arowana with great success . Now it just silver n 2 rays in a 10/3/2
Do you recommend to have them with my discus?
Thanks for the video John. I knew very little about these huge fish. I am more knowledgeable about them. Great video. By the way, I was not able to get onto tank talk live this pass Thursday. Was there tank talk or is it my I-pad?
Thanks Lisa also.
Unfortunately we were unable to stream on Thursday, you didn't miss anything.
These set of fishes are jumpers especially the arowana. What kind of cover would you recommend?
Love the choices you guys picked out!
"You dont like Oscar's you can go fu" that shit made me laugh so hard idk why 😂😂😂
Peacock Bass are awesome!
I have silver arowana with pbass and bichirs, it's a good combination, you can feed arowana first with cricket because i also have gecko that eat cricket, then feed pbass with little fish, the last give the bichirs sinking pelet they love it
This should just be a list of my favorite fish! I have at least one of all of these!
I have a now 15” a silver Arowana sharing a tank with my Brichardis. Yes, they’re doing good together. The Arowana was a juvie when I got him, about 6-7”. I dropped them in the rank at the same time.

Hello I have a question. I have 5 Severum, 3 Uaru and 1 Oscar fish my aquarium is 720l do tou think can i Put arowana to them ? Best regards
Can you put a puffer fish and with the arowana fish? (Fahaka puffer)
Thank you
Your severums are beautiful. I have the same type, but they are juvenille... only about 3 inches long.
Severums are my favorite, they have resembelence of two of my most favorites (Oscar and Discus fish).
As long as people don’t feed oscars “ feeder fish “ i am cool with them. So called feeder fish are one of the most abused fish in the hobby.
Hi John. I recently purchased 260gallon tank..going to place 1 silver arowana and 2x oscar. Will fx6 be enough as a filtration? Thank you.
Use a sump. You can add in more media
Can you make a video describing how to care for stingrays? And about more tank mates for stingrays?
Please
The yellow lab in the pic with the silver dollars is in the middle of being mugged
Keep up the great videos 👍👍👏👏

Very informative.

Can I keep jack dempsey with arowana?
Good vid
Arowanas are beautiful
Could you do a video on ghost knife fish?
And clown knife fish please
I think your video cut out @1:53. Might have to reuplpad the video so we can know what happens next
Oscar the next to piranha so greedy. Hehehe.. So nice in tank with arowana and kingkong parrots plus yellow plug tail plus silver dollar.hehe
Look up Fireball blood parrot. Great fish.
I have Alligator gar with my silver arowana. They are doing great.
Wow for real I was wondering since they both stay up top
How abt giant gourami? Can i put them in the same aquarium?
Best tankmate would be the Flagtail. Best cleaner of all time.
Here's the list: (TLDW)
1. Oscars
2. Severums
3. Stingrays
4. Blood parrots
5. Common plecos
6. Silver dollars
7. Bichirs
8. Jaguar Cichlids
9. Clown knife
10. Peacock bass
You're welcome.
I just want to add to the common pleco, there are lots of other plcos that are bigger that would do super well too. Like the red fin and leopard cactus pleco
Can I put
6 neon tetras, 2 powder blue gouramis and one swordtail fish in a 10 gallon tank?
I think I will add an Oscar to my Arowana tank. Thanks.
Great video and informative
how about Red Flag Tails to complete the Dragon & Phoenix Combo
Can you keep arowanas with rainbow fin wolf fish?
is alligator gar a good tank mate for an arowana
this is very helpful
Im offended by that peacock bass comment lisa 🥲 i love them 😍
@kgtropicals if u find alil extra time can u look at the video i just uploaded of my api test results ? I set up a new tank about 4 weeks ago just need a second opinion
thank u for dope video
Peacock bass are beautiful
I've always liked having a redtail catfish with my arowana. They'll eat all the scraps or food that falls to the bottom that the arowana doesn't eat.
1:53 gained a subb nvr laughed so hard at a fish video 😂😂🤙
John I was shocked you used the "F" word in this video.
Will flowerhorns go with arowana.
Arrowanas are not allowed where I am but I love them! One day maybe I'll move to america so I can have cooler fish lol
Clown Knife are awesome fish to catch in Florida. People pay big money to to sport fish for them.
I just bought a peacock bass a week ago. he kept hiding behind the pump and does not eat he only comes out when no one is around and when I try to feed him he will bolt right back to the corner.
Lower jaw bichirs stay around the 1ft zone lower jaws Around 2-3 mostly
Great video! Lisa named him "PIP" or "PIMP" seriously i need to know this LOL
Lol, her name was Pip
King and Queen Cichlids pip
Because of you guys, i got a pleco, bichir and oscar ☺️
What about gaint gouramis?
I used to have Jaguar cichlid that tried to pair off with an Oscar. It was interesting to see a pair of Oscars on one side of the tank and an Oscar and a Jaguar cichlid trying to pair off on the other
