Great little fish and another great video! I really enjoy seeing your Celestial Pearl Danio tank. For me it's a perfect mix with the clown kilifish and shrimp. Your videos are what makes things click for me.. I'm interested to put together suitable tank mates for some kind of colony of wild bettas for the 33 gallon low. I haven't had time to do research yet with that particular mix. I just know I like cpds,killifish, and shrimp. If I make it home next week and can put this aquarium together, I will start getting serious on my research and probably revisit a lot of your videos!! I appreciate when you do these kind of videos! I hope you're doing well today! I always hope to see you around! Thank you always for sharing and much love from my family to yours. I hope you have a very blessed day!!!🙏🌿🐟🌱💚
I’m not affiliated with this channel but I wanna ty and s/o for being nice on RUclips comments. Faith in humanity partially restored. I owned a school of like 24 CPD for a few years and yeah they’re super easy, super chill, I had red shrimps tank mates and they cohabitate really well + shrimp help keep any tank cleaner by eating waste and algae. I am so in love with Celestial Pearl Danio that I devoted two tanks for them exclusively! (One was a bare breeding tank, the other was adorned with lots of freshwater plants and stuff) I have them rocky sub. 30/70 staying on the sandier side of substrate but for real you won’t go wrong with any kind suitable for little fishes. You might have one Male dominate the whole tank of females but that’s just nature! Lots of foliage will make them feel safe and don’t worry about not seeing them thru the foliage because they love to explore and were often times curiously nosing the tank glass and posing for close-up photography from yours truly! They would school up in two or three schools for one minute then disperse and do their own thing. I found them at all levels of depth and maybe that’s because they were the sole inhabitants of the tank. So yeah they’re more pretty in real life and they’re eaaasy to care for and they will spawn in a wide range of conditions. You don’t have to put alot of work in to reap the benefits of these adorable fishes. I recommend finding a reputable seller and really don’t be afraid to ask questions cuz these fish got popular very fast and inbreeding can wash out their orange colour and pearly-ness in their little spots. If you think the photos are too good to be true, or enhanced in photoshop or w/e they are totally not! These fishes are seriously so full of rich colour and they are curious like little puppies lol. For reference I had 7 tanks, 2 breed tanks, smallest was 10g biggest was 160g with like 6 diff species in the big one. They were all fresh water with live plants and I ended up having to harvest and sell my plants routinely because everything thrived so well! My success story to help fuel yours! I dunno if this channel sells fish but I’m gonna link the website I use to buy all my fishes, there is a waiting list for the cpd but I am happy waiting knowing the couple who runs the business are responsible/not over-farming and shipping has always been consistent and successful! Great cust service too. Sorry this ran on really long but I’m passionate about keeping fishes in boxes full of water at my house! Www.aquaticarts.com Edit: oh btw I dunno if this was placebo effect or if it really did help but I fed my Celestial Pearl Danios red worms(it’s been years I don’t remember the market name) but they were red little ringworm looking things I bought and farmed in two tanks of their own, I like to think the red colour of the worms helped bring out my fishes & shrimps red colour(and they were real animals not fish pellets, nothing wrong with fish pellets but you get what I’m saying)
Thank you both for the kind comments in return. The world is hard enough as it is. It's easy to pick a part each other on RUclips and the internet. You guys encourage me everyday to be a better person!! And I truly appreciate you!🥰🤗 These little and big fish and the love we have for them our are common denominators, such a beautiful hobby with such a beautiful bunch of people! Much-love guys! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!🌿🐟💚🌿🙏
@@Caninehandler thank you again for the kind comment. Your aquariums sound amazing😍and thank you for sharing your experience. One of the very reasons I love and support this channel is because of all the love and that Blake brings to our hobby! He's a keeper for sure!🥰 I hope you will join us here on this channel!🙏Have a very blessed day!💚🌿🐟🌿💚
I have never been a fish keeper, but I've been watching videos on the hobby, and I am thinking about doing a first tank. I would be doing a planted tank with CPDs, going for a creek or river look. Appreciate the suggestions for tank mates. Love your tank in this video... What size is it?
I have a *14 gallon long* with a M/F pair of Honey gourami's, 4 CPD's and a whole bunch of shrimp. They all get along very well! Used to have 7 CPD's, but 3 died so I replaced them with the female honey gourami.
Quick question though, the clown kilifish, are they okay in a unheated tank or is your heated? I was thinking of not heating my new tank and so was looking at the CPDs and some cherry shrimp and was wondering if the kilifish would be alright.
Hi Blake, big fan here of your shrimp/galaxy/killifish aquarium. I’m actually planning to put these three species together as well. I have a few questions and would really appreciatie it if you answered. What temperature are/were you holding the aquarium? (I was thinking 24 degrees) And how did you manage to feed the three species seperately?
Yep 24 degrees is what i keep them at. Feeding is pretty easy, flakes to stay at the surface for the clowns and anything for the other 2 will do just fine
Great video! Beautiful tank! How do you clean it? I was scared to put many plants in my new aquarium because I was worried about cleaning (gravel vacuum)..
@@BlakesAquatics oh yikes i did not hink they would in that case i will just get alot of emereld dwarf rasboras and endlers and maybe some clown killis if they are shrimp safe.
What kind of plants do u have ive just got into planted tanks yours is not just growing its thriving noticed you leave plants in the pots i don't I can keep them alive 3 4 months maybe longer but eventually they die any tips or advice welcome
Hey Gary, give this video a go. It is important to get the basics nailed rather than just picking random species because everyone has differenf conditions. ruclips.net/video/yuaF241wfUw/видео.htmlsi=7V6NpPlv63i229f-
Funny, I wanted to start a planted tank with the danios, cherry shrimp and clown killifish. Any tips on getting a tanks water good enough for all three?
@@BlakesAquatics yeah I wouldn't think so either cause the crabs are basically as peaceful as cherry shrimps and need the same temperature so I would think they would do well
i keep my CPD's with my male betta. And they all leave eachother alone. So long as you add the fish together in the tank at the same time. You don't want to add CPD's to a tank that already has a male betta in it.
@@BlakesAquatics its worked out great for me. And just adds a little more flare to the betta tank. i have a small shoal of 6 CPD's in with my betta Astro
I have one Celestial pearl danio that is so aggressive it ripped out the guts out of a male rainbow furcata that was bigger than him. I bought them at the same time. Now he’s killed the female furcata and another celestial pearl danio along with 2 goldback adult shrimp. I feel like releasing my betta into that tank like jet lee in unleashed. Everyone else is peacefully trying to swim around. Any advise is appreciated. This guy is costing me tons of money!!!
Wow that is really unusual! Fish have personalities too and seems you got the jack the ripper of cpds there. If it was me id try him in a group of 9 or more cpds but it is risky
@@BlakesAquatics in a 50 litre tank? Sorry to ask again.. all the info I have seen online says for a 50L tank should be between 6-10 due to space issues? Thank you kindly for you fast reply 👌🏻
Can I keep my two cobra male guppies with the CPD's...? This might be a dumb question, but I actually really love my guppies and dont want anything to happen to them. But i would like them to be the centerpeice for my 12g long, I was thinking six CPD's a Starlight bushynose pleco (until it gets too big), and my two guppies. Maybe two or three Amano shrimps.
the water parameters are slightly different, and with 6 cpds you will most likely never see them. I think it can work but its not the easiest thing to pull off
Will 5 clown killifish, 6-8 CPD, 6-10 ember tetra OR 5-6 blue emperor tetra, and 6-8 pygmy cories, would i overstock my tank? Already have 4 of the pygmy. Nothing else
Mine are spawning so can you provide any tips from hatching, feeding, raising, separation of M/F, water conditions for babies etc. I have 6 females and 1 male. Eggs are being laid daily but Rumynose are likely eating them before hatch. Thx in advance.
in summary, feed vinegar eels, then progress to micro worms then baby brine shrimp. I dont separate them, same water as the parents, between 6 and 7ph, remove any other fish from the tank, babies are going to be incredibly tiny
@@BlakesAquatics thanks for the reply.was thinking of keeping it normal temp like 75.I usually do 82 but 75 the betta I’m sure will still thrive.just want to keep temps ok for the galaxy fish.never had them and want some
This is the most underrated channel in the community! Legit i get exited every time you upload a new video! You and Fish for Thought.
Thanks so much thats amazing to hear 👍
The scape of the tank is incredible. Great work.
White Cloud Minnows would probably work well. They're bold, peaceful and don't need a heater.
This kind of video helps when your not sure who can live with who. Great video again, keep them coming.🐟🌿👍😄😄
nice vid i really want celestial pearl danios might be able to get some for myself just finished building a 2 story tank rack
they would be great in a paludarium since they don't need that much space.

Hey Dan thanks for watching, its an 80L / 20G tank 👍
Great video mate. Wanna get some of em one day. Love all the fish you recommend.
Thanks, this really gave me ideas for the next tank!
Just stumbled onto your channel. Keep it up man! Great content
Super informative as always. Great video
I have them with emerald eye rasbora and phantom tetra. I have 5 and they are brave, but would like to breed them and get some more.
I have a small school of them. I'm hoping to breed them. They are the hot trend now. 59.99 is the price they will climb up to now lol
Cpds? They're cheap now
Just found this channel, bout to watch my first video 🙏
Useful info thanks
Noticed you have paradise fish in this video. But you don't seem to have a video on them😔 They are an awesome fish!
Great video Blake!

Yep definitely prolific jumpers 👍 cheers
Great video 👍 You inspired me to get CPDs
That's awesome!
I’m hoping to put some in with sparkling gouramis
Great combo
Hey Blake. What size tank have you got all these beautiful fish in? 😊
The tanks are all different. Some 80L/ 20g, some 60L/ 15g, some 160L/40g
Great video! Beautiful tank! How do you clean it? I was scared to put many plants in my new aquarium because I was worried about cleaning (gravel vacuum)..
I never gravel vac planted tanks. The plants take up the waste. At the most i might stir some of it up before a waterchange but thats about it 👍
Ohh awesome!! I might add some more plants then. I really like the little ones that make a carpet in your tank ☺️
Thank you for responding! 🙏
So I am planning to keep 9 emerald dwarf rasboras with 8 cpds and a few endlers maybe pygmy corydoras do you think that would work?
I wouldnt recommend it because they will interbreed and hybridise.
