I've figured it out!!! There's actually a tank with fish in - in front of the tank with the hamster in. So the hamster is in a tank with no water, but all the rocks and gravel, and in front of that there's a clear tank with just water and fish. You can actually see a reflection of a goldfish or two that seems to be emanating from the front of the tank the hamster is in. Very clever illusion. The key is to not think about the thing you don't expect to be there (the hamster) - but what you do expect to be there (in this case, the fish). edit. oh. I should have waited.

I wish that I could trust the stuff I find on the ground outside enough to put it in a tank. Unfortunately I live near the Tennessee River and who knows what pollutants are in the rocks and sticks that come out of it. Also, my favorite soup is Tomato, plus grilled cheese sandwich.

Asian borscht sounds fabulous... I love my clam chowder. But also I managed to learn how to make potato soup....

I am so glad I discovered this channel

I’m not a big soup guy, but miso is pretty darn good. And yes, I will be sure to get my water wet

My rummynose tetras were very unhappy with a betta roommate. Had 3 rummynose in a 6 gallon. Added a betta. Checked on them that evening and I had 3 rummynose with a total of 4 eyes. Betta moved out. Tetras lived fine for several years. The one that still had both eyes was the king of the tank.

I like making borscht with beets, red cabbage, red onions, purple carrots, blue potatoes...basically as much natural pigment as I can put into it. It tastes like...borscht, LOL... but the vivid purple color puts it over the top.

My favourite soup is one made at a local donut shop. The local Country Fresh Donuts is family owned and well known for their wonton soup! Yup. You read right. A donut shop known for it's wonton soup! This soup is so good that people drive an hour to get it. In 2013 a car drove through the restaurant and it was closed for many months. The tv station from a city an hour away came here after a few months and did a news story on how much locals were missing this soup! The day the restaurant reopened my daughter and her husband got off work at 3 am and decided it would be a good time to get the soup they had been missing since the accident and figured no one would be there at 3 am (it is a 24 hour donut shop). When they got there they were shocked to see that the line was out the door! THAT is my favourite soup

Favorite soup is called squash and sausage. Make it every fall. Ingredients change based on what’s in the house. Different squashes, potatoes, veggies, sausage, bacon chicken… you get the idea!

As always, great job on making such fantastic fish content! Thank you for making this Monday a great day!

With the dead fish in the tank, same. I worked in pets at home (UK chain like petsmart) and every hour I had to go around the tanks to look for and remove dead fish, almost every hour there would be at least 3-4 dead ones

something about watching these videos makes me oddly self concious of my aquascaping as if my 2 tanks arent a 20 long i just ripped apart to catch kuhli loaches from (also needs more sand bc in the process i dug up every stone used to hold down plants and its a cory/oto tank) so it looks. well ripped apart. and a 75 i literallly finished setting up yesterday that isnt even done being planted yet

me up in my room on my moms phone ordering a 65 gallon tank and everything for the aqua scape and getting it the next day. her reaction: she purposefully goes into a coma, I love the hobby :)

I saw the craziest fish tank at a pet store the other day, it was horrid. There were around 7 full grown, 5-6in fancy goldfish in what seemed to be a 20-25 gal tank. There was a goldfish that had no eyes, he literally had no eyes, not a single one. There was one goldfish who was stuck at the top of the tank, it’s a certain conduction with goldfish that I forgot the name of, but basically, it leaves the goldfish stuck at the top of the tank. That’s same goldfish also barely moved and would sometime just drift across the tank, bumping into the walls and drifting somewhere else on its side. There was another goldfish that had a good chunk of its wen missing. And there was another one that had a pebble stuck in its mouth. The rest seemed to be fine but they were all kept in the same 20-25 gal tank. With some other small tetras for some reason.

Hamster illusions... thats David Copperfield stuff.😂

I get that most countries are behind on animal care. But in Finland you can't keep a male beta fish in less than 40liters (10,5 gallons) In the pet store I work at we aren't even allowed to sell a beta fish to less than 60liters (15,8 gallons) All our pet and fish stores are checked by officials combatting animal abuse and if we were caught selling to small tanks we wouldn't be allowed to call ourselves an ethical pet store (you get an ethical score from every checkup) and if you don't pass the store won't be allowed to sell fish/animals anymore. I know people can still lie, but we as employees are literally taught to fight with people trying to buy fish into too-small aquariums (which happens sadly weekly still) and we are not allowed to stray by even a gallon less than the needed amount. We are also very careful with what species of fish we allow the customers to buy and cohabitate including different sexes of fish. I really find this refreshing and while I do think there are things we can improve on, I really hope other countries take up this habit too.

Splash tetras are great! They look almost prehistoric with their large scales and big fins, very cute. I have bred them before. Or rather, they manage to do that just fine on their own as long as you keep males and females :P You need cover for them though. They jump. A lot. Like, you know those types of fish where they always have the written warning about them in articles and care pages about fish that they need a cover because they jump? This fish is worse. They literally breed by jumping, and will find every single way to kill themselves that way. I had to use duct tape in every single little place that they could find and escape through, and still they managed, somehow, to jump to their death. An absolutely amazing fish for any pauludarium that is not open concept, though :D
