Fintastic Freaks
США
Добавлен 12 июл 2019
Hi everyone! My name is Austin and this is Fintastic Freaks. From tours of my fish room, fish profiles, fish store visits, and more, this channel is meant to entertain and perhaps educate other fellow fishkeeping enthusiasts such as yourself. I've been keeping freshwater fish for over 15 years and in my videos I look to share my passion for this hobby with you in fun and hopefully entertaining ways.
Though I like to think of myself as a somewhat experienced fish keeper, the main thing I hope that you, the viewer see is that like other fish hobbyists I'm just a guy who is passionate for my hobby and like others in this hobby, I too can always learn something new. From some of the common and well know fish, to some of the more rare fish, or somewhere in the middle I look to give an equal amount of content that's relatable to other aquarium hobbyists, from some veterans and experienced keepers to the brand new beginners.
Thanks for visiting my channel! Stay Fintastic!

Trivia: This was the fish tank that was featured in the 1990 Total Recall film.
I’m so sorry for your loss it’s hard fish are family at least she knows she is loved and had her last moments knowing she was not alone and was deeply cared for
I hope mine eats out of my and eventually, luckily my ghost knife eats plenty haha he is a pretty quick and voracious eater.
Red tail doesn't mess w the Oscars?
So much color! Beautiful! ❤
Oh no😢 I'm so sorry man. Finely was so awesome. I definitely vote for finishing the plywood tank, too, it may even help you feel better if you did.
Thank you! I decided to start my hexagon back up. I was just going to do all plants but i think I'd miss fish in there.
So sorry...brother
Recently acquired a very young one. Hoping it does well. I have bloodworms, mysis shrimp, and beef heart on hand. Do they seem to prefer one over the other?
Blood worms and Mysis shrimp have tended to be a favorite to them and any othe knife fish I've kept. Broken up krill is another that they sometimes like.
Awe Austin. You can't blame yourself. Sometimes these things are out of our hands. And no matter what we do, we cannot save the ones we love. And of course Finley is a hard loss to take. She's your favorite. She's definitely the mascot of your fish room. At least that's how I looked at her. Big, beautiful, mascot FINLEY. And we ALL know that puffers are your favorite kind of fish. Lol. 110°???? Holy Moly, Austin, where do you live that gets that hot🫠? What does your heat index get up to 125° ?
Im so sorry to hear about her. I've had an MBU puffer, and when she passed, i lost it. As you mentioned, i also had her in a 29 gal at first. Its okay your not alone.
😢
Ugh, so sorry to hear about Finley, Austin. 😢 I don't even know what else to say, it just sucks when this happens.
Sorry man, it sucks. I have a 6 yr old acara that’s not doing well. I’m doing everything I can think of .. 😫
Sorry for your loss my deepest condolences
I'm sorry for your loss, I loved Finley as well. Love you, brotha, hang in there. You did everything you could.
Death sucks. There's no way to sugar coat it. There's no way to rush yourself through the process of grief. All I can tell you is that you need to keep pushing through it and push through it again. The sense of loss and grief are normal, and while you'll likely never "get over it". There are no magic words to make it all better. You just gotta push through it. Don't let it crush you. I've lost a fish that meant the world to me. I've lost cats and dogs that I've loved like family. I've lost my mom. I've lost my son. They all hit me differently. They all tried to drag me down. I didn't let it beat me down, and neither should you, my friend. Embrace your love for Fun and celebrate her. Stay strong.
I appreciate you. Thank you for your words. I've had a Fire eel, a mbu puffer, and many other fish. I've been in his position. I've cried thinking something, anything was my fault. Sometimes it's just something you can't see at all.
It's hard when special pets pass on. You have a great heart.
So sorry for you both, it sucks
How many fahaka can u put in a 125 gal
Would you sell the babies?
I’m picking up my 1 inch fahaka baby on Friday!
the only reason im not getting one is because of the feeding hard stuff
👍
Thank you. This was helpful👍
Great vid man! Thanks!
Where’s this at?
👍
Beat information I have found so day also love your channel and puffers!!
Cross rivers get around 16 inches I’ve seen some huge ones . Minimum 150 gallon tanks for sure
I wrote down the name of the store- next time I am around there I will definitely be going there 👍👍👍
Absolutely. I cannot recommend it enough.
Great information for my first puffer baby!
Can you hand feed it yet? My first one would come to the surface and eat right from my fingers. Unfortunately I lost that one to a stupid mistake. I did bring another one home, but so far, it doesn't have near the same personality.
That’s super cool!
Love Fish Freaks! Great video
Stay tuned! This store will be featured again soon. 😉👍
Thanks. Have had some close calls.🙏🙄😊
Fahakas can be together in over 300 gallons... But multiple females is best. Then, only the fatness and attitudes will Tell ya what they are. And, you may have to pull the male, if he is ready before a female is.. Or it is horrific torture, could be fatal, not watching them, like left town.. Lol.
Great video 😊 DETROIT
Gold fish tip: They love duckweed !!!
Back when I had goldfih in a 125 theyd get duckweed from one of my angelfish tanks and ate it like ice cream.😆 Might give them some of that again to give them their veggies.
@@FintasticFreaks yeah appreciate not throwing the duckweed in the trash !!! You keep some monster tanks in your basement... must be challenging moving them...
Your tanks are always so clean, would love to see some live streams of your maintenance and cleaning. 😊
Thanks I try to keep them nice. It has been a while since I've done a stream, though most of my water changes happen at midnight or later due to my daily routine with the day job and all... might see if I can sneak a stream on though sometime for that. 👍
Looks good- someday I need to make it to one of the Omaha swaps 👍👍👍
Hopeflly soon. :) I'll share some deatils of Omaha's fall swap one the channel once I get some details about it. Going to be a lot of new things this fall for sure. :)
That hexagonish or whatever shape that tank is look sick! Rarely see those these days, makes me want to have one for myself lol
Thank you so much. Great video.
É de água doce ou salgada?
This is a freshwater puffer.
@@FintasticFreaksqual o nome da espécie?
I just set up my 3rd tank ( i have multiple tank syndrome 😅) its my first brackish tank and found it easier than i thought ut was going to be. I have a heavily planted tank so finding it strange i cant really put much plants in this tank 😂 im getting figure of 8 puffer for it. Cant wait theyre so cute.......
Thanks for the info! I just got two figure 8’s! “ sally” and “jack skelington” is what my nephews named them! I appreciate you! One question I do have is, how to transition them from fresh to brackish? Just do it or slowly do it. I know you said you did it slow but how did you get to from fresh to the initial 1.008 ?
khkhkjkhljkjkjllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
What filtration do you use for the arrowhead puffer
A Seachem Tidal 110 and and 60 gallon grade sponge filter. Canister filters (ex: Fluval 407 is a good option too.)
Great day. Can buck tooth tetra exists in a tank with bottom feeder tank mate?(This is where the tetras would be added after the other fish were established). looking forward to your reply.
Fun video, i have kept a bunch of tanks over the years but haven't had any for about five years now. Soon my renovations to the house will be done and i shall set up at least two tanks.
