For the past few months, I've had a beautiful blue betta in a 6.5 gallon aquarium with a filter and heater, and I've had a blast keeping up with him. He's been energetic, and his color has been much better since bringing him home from the pet store. Thank you guys for your videos to help get me started! I've forgotten how much I love having fish

As a kid (50-60 years ago) we had a 10 gallon and always had some assortment of neons, harlequin rasboras, zebra danios, and guppies. There is a reason most of these are still the most popular fish to keep half a century later.

Oh my gosh I love this video great information and beautiful job at letting the newbie hobbyists know what is there for the chosen 🐟 fish.

I just got back into fish keeping. I had Oranda when I was young. Now I'm older and getting back into goldfish. This time around I am going with Ranchu. An even more beautiful fish, but more of a challenge too. Just how I like it. :)

How did you come back with so much motivation and with so much better videos after you break from the channel? I am so impressed by that John. Well done bro. Do not get me wrong, loved to hang out in your livestreams late at night in 2014 (From Sweden) But now you are so proffessional with your editing and video quality. I just wanted to say that you and your wife are doing a great job with your "new" channel. 👊

Back in 1960 when I was 9 I had about a 1 gallon squat fish bowl in the middle of the kitchen table where I kept my guppies. It was a wonderful experience for me and a great start to a great hobby.

I keep mostly oscars and knife fish, but when I set up my planted 10g guppy tank it was a game changer. Love coming home from work to look at my platinum guppies

Huh, I’ve always been a cichlid guy myself, having a 55 gallon Mbuna tank and a 75 gallon new world cichlid tank. But I have this empty 29 gallon just sitting around and after seeing this video, I really like the guppies you used in this video for display. I’ve never been too big in live bearers but seeing some of these Guppies has shown that they have as much color as my Mbunas do. Definitely thinking of guppies or shell dwellers or a pair of convicts for my 29G.

flowerhorns are awesome!! i had one for a bit and the best way to describe it was like having a freshwater puppy.

I'm surprised not to see clown knife fish. Beautiful majestic fish. I had a pair of 4 ft royal clowns in my 300 gallon years ago. Absolutely one of the best fresh water fish. Pictus Catfish should be on this list too.

Where are discus, oscars, stingrays, and arowana?

Definitely flowerhorn 😊👍

Great video! Shocked by Sharks and Flowerhorns (esp. @ #1 - although they may be the most current trendy/popular ). Thought the list would include Oscars, Gourami, or Corys instead. 👍🏼

Auratus Cichlid. Love him. Great mediator and keeps all of my other mbunas in check.

I feel like one of the biggest if not the the biggest issue with this hobby is petco and petsmart. I have had my freshwater aquarium for about ten years and before setting up I read a few books which was great. However through the years as issues and questions have come up I have found 99% of the employees at these big box stores just aren’t knowledgeable. They sell fish without giving you any information about what you are buying etc. it’s too bad because so many issues could be avoided if only the people selling the fish and equipment were knowledgeable about what they were selling. Thanks for the great videos!

Yup my goldfish got huge when I was a kid! Had them for a long time too ❤

Sadly, one of my bettas Carl died yesterday. I'm going to make a much bigger tank and this helped a ton. Thank you!

I had some young giant danios in with my communitee tank (while I get my 110 gallon cycled). My dwarf gourami's were not happy at all. The danios were way too hyper.

coolest list there cheers :D "D

Discus are the cutest fish in the word

Guppies 🐠🐠🐠🐠😃 so lovely and interesting to watch!

I remember the first time I saw a Flowerhorn. I thought "Aw, poor guy has a tumor". Some people like oddities, or bright colors, but I like the fish to look more natural. I love my guppies but I find I prefer to watch the females tank with their shorter fins and only a splash of color. Cory catfish are one of my must have freshwater fish. They have a lot of personality.
