If the glow fish were bread and raised in regular water why would we try and match the water parameters of the natural habitat? Now they have to acclimate to a different water quality. I dont think the breeders are matching their natural environment and neither is Petco. Am I wrong on this?
I have searched and searched, and really don't get straight answer. My tap water right out is 6.2 ppm ph, 40 alkalinity ppm, and my calcium water hardness does not even really register on the test strip. Should I raise the hardness with calcium like used for a pool or use salts that people use for cichlid tanks?
No as long they are healthy dont mess with the water parameters even with chiclids in my experience every time I mess with the water parameters it very hard to keep them.
Ok so imma tell you. The most I will do is 2 honestly. I have about 5 glofish and 1 otocinclus catfish. I plan on buy two more glofish BUT I don’t mind changing the water often. The more fish you have the more maintenance.
I have glofish but for some reason they keep dying. I just returned the green and red that died and petco confirmed with my water quality that it was good. Can you talk about the glofish aggression? I think thats why I lost 3 so far. Or if they die cuz the temp is at 72 degrees maybe
I'm running into this problem now. At first we noticed if we cut the light off the fish were more energetic, but I just found my last glo fish that got sucked into the water filter so I think that's what's been killing my fish. The Glo fish tank was a gift that was purchased at wal mart.
We just got ours a few weeks ago. They seem fine and are eating well. I have a 20 gallon tank and only 6 of them for now. I just changed half the tank water a week ago and it is soo murky now. Is that bad?
Hi My Glofish is not eating from last 3 days and opening closing mouth rapidly. It's not closing mouth completely and I can see redness inside mouth. What this could be ?
When I do Glo tetras I keep them with at least six of them, I like to always add some mystery snail 2 to 4, 6 to 8 Also some glo danio to add more color and a clown pleco or bristlenose pleco NOT THE COMUN ONE WILL GROW TO BIG FOR A 20G.
@@jraquariumpr Hello, I wanted to ask if I can make these fish as mates for danios rerio: bristlenose and kuhli loch? Thank you! Also possible I want later get female betta! In general I planing get 5 danios rerio, 2 bristlenose and 2 kuhli and 1 female betta! Edit: I have 54 liter tanl with filter and heater, with real plants and will be adding aeronizator for night time.
I am having a very hard time with my 10 year daughter’s 2 Tetras. Can someone that knows please help? We bought 3 Glofish Tetras a week ago and one has already died. I don’t want the other to die! I have them in a 3 gallon tank, with a water heater at 78F, the tank cane with a filtering system, I bought water test strips and the water is “ideal” but the only thing that worries me is the hardness because the results are “very hard” and I read everywhere its supposed to be soft. I am also worried that I only have 2 and this video says I should have at least 5-6 but my tank is too small. Is it okay to just keep 2 in the 3 gallon tank? Could this be why the third one died?
I noticed one of my Glo got stuck in the water filter. I was thinking it was the Glo light warming the water but the water filter I think is the culprit. I have a 3 gal tank with 2.... Well 0 fish now. How yours made it.
Sir I want to keep glow fish but in my area ambient temp go max 50 C and now a days my tank water temp is 34 C here fan not work as they throw hot air and water temp increase so I try to arrange chiller or can I keep glow in 34 or 35 C without chiller.
Are you familiar with the Nitrogen cycle? Because the only reason I see they told you that is because your tank is not cycle yet and trying to do a fish in cycle.
When you start a new tank for first time you need to cycle. What this mean? This mean that your tank have a beneficial bacteria that help to turn the amonia ( toxic to fish) into nitrates (less toxic) and they can be remove with water change or plant will feed of nitrates I have a really good video and I explain this with visual aids to help you learn how it works. ruclips.net/video/EzgmdIAo84E/видео.html
To answer your question I will get all the ones Im planing to get at once they are a schooling fish and we had better luck when we add all of the schooling fish at once.
@@jraquariumpr 37 gallon . How many glofish would you recommend? And I have 3 now would you recommend going o get the remainder all at once and at them all at the same time ?
@@jeremynicholson4627 If the tank is cycle I will go with 15 to 20 in a 37 Gallon. And also I will add some bottom feeders maybe 2 brittlenose plecos with some snails.
What about 82 degrees? My heater (on minimum) keeps trying to bring the temperature up above 80 degrees. It sucks! I need to watch it like a hawk and unplug it once it’s at 80.
Same. My mom said its cuz I have way to much decor, but I see alot of fish like the decor so they can hide. Glofish are just rude. I tried to have them school with regular black skirts and I have lost 3 within a week due to stress I assume. Its sad.
@@tomongvue6934 I got them to calm down by adding real plants instead of plastic ones and adding a handful of neon tetra. Not sure which one or both did it, but after that they are pretty chill until feeding time.
The easiest way to know just add a few flakes wait a few minutes and see if the flakes are stil floating if everything its gone fast add some more with time you will known an averege of how much they eat.

JR: gives info on breeding. Also JR: Remember, breeding Glofish is illegal
Yes I mentioned on the video 💙💙
US has some strange leaders doing strange jobs. They can come to my country and castrate all my fish :P
You can breed glofish but you can't sell them. Theres a paten on it so u can go to jail if u sell them. Thats what he said

@@miltona891 Thank you very much bro..
@@PushkaraB1652yeah so if you don’t mind changing the water often then you’re good.
I just bought a 10 gallon tank, will that be enough room? or should i have purchased a bigger tank?
If you are able to get a bigger tank please do it.
How often should I clean my 30 gallon tank if fed once a day. 25% or 50% i have Six tetras and 5 danios one pleco one cory cat?
I have a 20 gallon tank with four glofish
along with two high skirt white tetras.
Do I need to have more fish in my tank?
Not really as long they have at least 4 of them they will be fine. 💙💙
I’m new to this I have four glow fishes do I have to have a heater for my tank
Depends on what the temp of your water is now. Most likely you need a heater to maintain 75 to 80f degrees.
Yes is higly recomended 💙💙💙

Hi, first Im so sorry for the fish you lost 😔, question did you have any other fish that are not glofish? And what type ( tetra, danio or barbs?
Yes some are really aggressive. Right now I have a green one separated because it was creating havoc in the tank

That happens when changing the water. Im pretty sure by now it’s clear. If not let me know.

Hi, I've only one purple glo fish left. Do I need to give oxygen filter in the tank? And will it survive alone?
u def need oxygen filter, mine almost died bc i didnt put oxygen filter (the plants arent enoughh)
What about 82 degrees? My heater (on minimum) keeps trying to bring the temperature up above 80 degrees. It sucks! I need to watch it like a hawk and unplug it once it’s at 80.
You can even keep it unplug during the summer
Without a heater it stays at 68 degrees. The fish seem happy too.
What really mater at the end of the days is to see that the fish are happy and healthy
My favorite color is red

I had 4 tetra in a 20gal. They were aggressive so I added 2 more to make 6. They still fight all the time. Any suggestions?

20 gallon is good enough you don't need a 29 gallon that's way too big For those Glowfish.
In the hobby bigger is always better.
What air pumps are recommended?
To be honest all of them are good focus on getting one proper for your tank size. Because I had manny brands and I still have no preference.
Glow tetras not get alont with my Betta fish... 😭 why?
They do ,I have one just keep more females tetras ,they are more calm.
