Hey Chris I’ve got a question for you, do you clip Millie’s wings, and if you do, do you do it for a specific reason?

My mom owns a pediatrics clinic and after she saw my planted aquariums she asked me to make some for the clinic. Its crazy to me that people chose this small of tanks to showcase at a clinic. My mom decided to buy a 55 Gallon tank and i stocked it and decorated it. I come by weekly to clean it and such. It hurts me to see people make these kinds of tanks......

That’s class bro

I was at the pet store trying to get guppies yesterday. My brother who knows nothing was like "How many, 8, 9, 10 11, 12.....". Then an employee came and asked how big our tank is and we settled with 4 male guppies in a 10 gallon. Before giving us the fish, we were asked questions like "Do you have the proper food for the fish, do you already have other fish in there, do you have your tank set up". My brother found it annoying but I'm glad that they actually care. They even gave me some free dwarf water lettuce.

I have 8 neon tetras and 14 guppies in a 20 gal and all is well with the tank. But 4-6 fish per addition period is a good rule

That's the same with my son. He's 4, and really wants way more fish that our tanks can handle. Good that the guys from the store we usually go know us and our setups and know how to say "sorry, but that's not going to work"

Bar aquariums tend to have a second pane seperated with a vacuum between them to protect from the occasional bump. It also seems like a "fine dining" bar, which means Slam Drunk is not happening

If you suffer with anxiety or depression, having a fish tank- a proper one- is amazing. It feels so good. I can tend to my fish for hours and watch them and my brain isnt wrought with overthinking. Its amazing. I have a 2.5 and a 5 with shrimp and tiny ass fish. Ive been doing this only for less than 2 months

That's why you fill it in stages over the course of several days, like a quarter at a time. That way, it's a gentle stress-test, check for leaks and even if it does break, at least there's no fish in it.

Just discovered your channel and watched your fish tank reviews for 2 hours straight. Then I went to sleep and had two hours of the best fish tank dreams ever! I even had a mermaid in one of those tanks and the coolest fish one could ever dream of. 😂 Now I really need more tanks. Thanks for that, really made my day! 😎

You have no idea how much I’ve loved putting Fish Tank Review on every Monday and sitting in front of my aquarium to admire it! I’ve watched your FTRs for a long time, but over the past half year I’ve really gotten into this hobby and am planning on setting up many more tanks and your videos have been like a little tradition to go along with my newfound aquatic addiction-I mean hobby… :) soon I will graduate from keeping plants and microfauna to fish, and the fish and I will keep watching! Thanks Chirs!

If you have duckweed, get one of the larger apple snails. I cant tell you how many times they have cleared my tanks of duckweed. I have to go out of my snail free tanks to replenish often.

Regarding buying too much fishfood. Flakes and tabs and pellets etc can all the bagged and frozen to increase the expiration date. Like, buying a bigger amount is mostly cheaper, so buy big, freeze in portions and use it up as time goes on. of course you cant keep it frozen forever but it stays fresh when frozen longer than it stays fresh in an open can. Just make sure to suck most of the air out of the bags and dont get anything wet and youre good!

Can we all take a moment to be concerned for the “stand” the Sponge Bob tank is on? It’s an immaculately scaped tank and don’t want to see it crack.

That's putting the retro in retro gaming for sure.

Hey Chris, thanks for all the content, you actually inspired me to get my first planted tank. Its cycling right now, but there are a lot of detritus worms and the dirted substrate seems to be colouring the water. Ammonia is high too. I really hope it clears up soon, but tips would be appreciated. Thank you!

@soultopsy

8 ай бұрын

As a fellow dirted substrate enjoyer I advise you to read up on Diana Walstad's method but I will try giving you some quick breakdowns: 1 to 1.5inch of organic potting soil followed by 2 inches of gravel / sand as the top layer, you never want a dirted substrate in direct contact with the water without sand or gravel in between as it causes way too much unnecessary detritus and having a sand top layer acts as sort of a barrier preventing excessive nutrients from the dirt to go into the water and eliminating future algae issues, this would also help your ammonia issues and will benefit your plants long term. Consider investing in some robust floater plants like salvinia as they soak up ammonia very well, As a future note, dirted substrates lack Iron so you should either dose it with a fertilizer or a very common strategy is to get regular red clay, forming it into balls or tabs and adding several of them into the dirt as they are very rich in Iron, fixing eventual iron deficiencies that may happen. Good luck!

No plants no nothing , just the Oscar and filter and heater . She said she had it for a long time and I couldn’t stop thinking about it and looking and taking pictures the whole time working . I got some good pictures I would love for you to review this horrible tank I saw today. When I saw it I instantly thought of your channel.

live plants dont work in any of my tanks but fresh water muscles thrive i think its the tonic salts that kill my plants either way i cant keep them for longer then 3 weeks till its dropped to bits or changed colour n died. ive had no fish die since i got rid of my live plants before was maybe 1-2 per month till i had 5 left and got rid of all live plants n now 6 month on ive had zero fish die and breed constantly now

The giant bucket of fish flakes cracks me up. I did that one time, I thought a pound of fish food seemed like a reasonable amount of fish food. lol

I buy big fish buckets and I keep them in my freezer but I take that second size there and take a silicone handle and crush up my flakes into small pieces that my little bitty fish could eat

I love how everyone complains about duckweed, meanwhile I added it to my tank twice and its jus gone. maybe my guppies eat it?

I saw someone put duckweed in a filter cartridge of an artificial pond at my local park

Best part of my week

QOTW: My go-to snack? Depends on where I am and my mood. At home it's usually cherry or mint chip ice cream or sometimes I bake cookies. On the run or at work? Mars bar or any chocolate that isn't Nestle

Hello. I have a 19 inches long and 9 inches wide and 20 inches tall tank with 2 angelfish and 2 electric rams . It has a hang on back a surface skimmsr and is heavily planted. So is it good enough?

The worst part about the tiny, cheap, uninhabitable enclosures for ANY small pets is when they inevitably don't sell because they're unethical and cruel, they get clearance priced like CRAZY to really cheap so they can get rid of them. So it just perpetuates the cycle of these terrible enclosures being pushed to the public as a 'bargain', 'fun', and 'safe and ethical' for your pets, especially to the uneducated who think fish can live happily in a fish bowl of tap water.

Akhirnya sampai ke ide ”expired before” pakan ikan habis. Berusaha membeli pakan ikan yang akan habis sebelum ½ expired date atau best before. Sorry using my native language, doesn't want comment with missleading phases Thanks Chris pointing those points

Lady’s and gentlemen I am pleased to announce that at long last I have finally obtained my first fish tank A massive 200L tank to be filled with kuhli loaches and corys

some kind of dart to put the fish to sleep as got to be less trauma than a fishhook at least- but I mean... nets exist also.

My go-to snack recently are dried fruits or fresh fruit, specifically longan. It's like a juicy and sweeter lychee.

Any of the small ones can be used to keep snails and plants only?

The clinic:HmMmM i ThInK bUyInG fRoM wIsH iS a GoOd IdEa The fish: LET US OUTT WE WANT A 19 GALLON TANK!! Me: I wish I can let y’all out but I can’t do that bettas I’m sorry for your fins 😢

after working as a custodian for schools, I can say no teacher seems to research anything about animals before bringing them to the classroom.

Yeah, you can spend a lot less money on fish tanks depending on time of year. Obviously you have big sales, but wait around when college gets out and get 20+ gallon tanks for dirt cheap from college students and those moving away. But that's delayed gratification

Yes! Craft beer and aquascaping!

There was nothing wrong with the first one's you showed. Very nice tanks with healthy looking fish. If i had one complaint it'd be that they may need a few more fish for them. 3 or 4 more female Betta and 2 or 3 more koi and it'd be perfect. 👨‍🍳💋
