- Taking care of Tinfoil Barbs is actually very easy. Take action and buy a higher quality food then what the big chain stores sell. I love Northfin Foods.
Additional Comments on Fish Tank:
Why is it people keep there bettas in such small tanks? I know right! I hate seeing people split tanks to cram as many bettas they can into it with just 2 gallons or so each. Id rather have my one betta living the high life in his own 20 gallon tank.
I had cashiers and floor people at Pet$mart ask me if I had a community tank because I bought water conditioner, a heater, a filter and other assorted basics for a 6 gallon tank for a single betta. One literally told me, "Honey, you don't need all that for a betta?" Excuse me?
omg really? At my petsmart, those people are crazy for fish and literally tell you every single thing you need. The manager got mad at someone and said to someone “honey, you’re getting a crowntail betta. A fish bowl won’t cut it.” He grabbed a cart from the front and walked it over to her before getting her a 10 gallon fish tank set.
I had one who shredded his tail I moved him into a smaller tank and he stopped it. I wouldn't go any smaller then a 10ltr though but some people think they're right and won't listen to anyone else (not saying anyone on this post). I have one in a 2.5. He will eventually be upgraded to a 10. But I got him at petco and I figured my heated/filtered/live planted clean cycled tank was better then what most people would give him even if it’s a little small. He’s a very happy little guy.
Aquarium tinfoil barb care. Fish tank guide. Most of the time they don’t know better. I didn’t know anything until I joined these groups. I kept my beta in an unheated one gallon. Now he’s being upgraded to a 10 gallon with a heater filter and live plants.It’s honestly the fault of stores not informing customers of the fishes needs. That depends on your opinion of a small tank. I prefer 5g for single bettas. They are easy to maintain but some would say that’s small, I think it’s prefect.
Because people believe that Wild bettas live in shallow rice paddies and dirty puddles in Thailand, the only reason they believe that is because in summer the big, long streams evaporate leaving shallow puddles and that’s when people have found bettas. they really have enormous homes with enough space for them to have their own territories and everything but people haven’t seen them in there because they are in such a large amount of water.
Basically people took a look at the crappy living conditions they have in summer in Thailand and went then we must be able to keep them in tiny prisons and let them suffocate on their own waste because that’s how they live in the wild. People will keep a animal in a size small enough that it can live and grow but fit as many tanks as possible.
I dont know exactly what the right answer is. Has anyone ever done a scientific study to show that a larger tank leads to a longer life? When I had my first betta I had him in an unfiltered non-heated 1.5 gallon tank. I just had zero knowledge about bettas and of course Walmart isn’t going to tell you anything. Once he died I did a lot of research on bettas myself online and that’s when I learned how wrong I was.
So TRUE! During my childhood when I was new to the hobby, thinking that betta are good or they really live on small spaces like plastic cup or a bowl with less than five inches diameter. Then I bought one and create a similar container as petshops sell them. But I put it to larger water bottle(absolutely the worst situation that I gave to my pets). I kept on replacing the water because it gets cloudy over the time- its killing the fish and so had happened. So I agree that it is most of the time due to imitation of which we think what is right because we assume that they know better than an empty but enthusiastic mind- without consultation. Maybe selling fish in some shops are strategically modified, they give wrong information to make their costumers go back and try to buy again and blaming us for not taking good care of betta.
Tinfoil barb care is easy. One of the key misinformative points many are spoonfed is that bettas live in puddles or shallow marshes. The marshlands they live in normally are quite shallow in some parts but they are expensive, and have deep pockets. Also they come from Thailand and Indonesia a lot as well so they're used to warmer temperatures. Another thing is that most people see bettas in cups at pet stores and the employees are taught to say they can live in a bowl, so they figure they'll get one. It's also probably because so many people see bettas as a starter fish. Some like to wedge themselves in to tight spaces have you thought about getting him a log or cocanut that he can hide in near the surface of the water. Животные
red tail tinfoil barb they are SO GENTLE never attack other.. i love them SO MUCH they can live 25 years

First time I disagree with you, tinfoil barbs are the coolest, it's cool how there are so docile even when they get fully grown.
Thanks Chris! Great video. The tin foils really do make a huge difference in diffusing aggression. They also can draw out more shy fish to actually get out and swim around.
My mom had Red-fin Tinfoil Barbs back in the 70's and 80's. Beautiful active fish. She had goldfish with them in a 20 gallon tank for years. What I remember is they were very healthy and happy. They got pretty big. I enjoyed watching them very much, especially watching them eat.
LOL I’m all jacked up on Mountain Dew grandpa
Glass mason jars with the clamping lids work great for food. They come in all different sizes.
The TF barbs are great fish. Several years ago I bought 3 juvies and grew them out together. They were so active! Very hardy too. So fun to keep if ya have a tank large enough
You are absolutely right about what you said. I have a huge tinfoil and he does indeed regulate the aggression of my cichlids. I didn’t know this, but discovered it over time by mixing different species.
I have two of the albino tin foils and the red/orange in there fins is almost crystalline in look and they just shimmer so beautifully with there gorgeous large silver scales. These guys are like my little water puppies. Love watching them swim and use all the tank space up. Such a beautiful fish. Sad seeing all them at the pet stores as surrenders. But god do I love mine.
Great video mate! And can you do a fishroom tour/ update I wanna see all your fish!!
i got two tinfoil and two albino tinfoil barbs and they cool and I have no stress
Albino tinfoil barbs with their gold and red coloration are so attractive
I have a school of 6 at around 10” in a 2500 litre pond, very cool and yes very active fish
I have a red tail Tinfoil barb fish
At a few of my local asian markets you can buy frozen 8 inch tinfoil barbs and 2 foot frozen clown knifes
Ps clown knife tastes good from my personal experience
in my opinion they are a fantastic fish to own I have 3 of them and they are not aggressive at all i have them with two green terrors and they hold there own and don't bug any other fish
I had a large silver shark an a very large tinfoil and the constantly chased each other relentlessly... My missus woke me up one morning and both were dead, I think the stressed each other out to much??
water change Wednesday for me too
bro do a video on the African tiger fish
I own 4 of them around 8” long I keep them in a 120 gallon.
well I am new to this hobby. I have 4 tiny barbs and a knife fish almost to my palm size, community was at peace in my tank. but a friend gave me two big tinfoil barb and I find my tank is at 🔥. my knife fish is chasing them vigorously. I am afraid.
Can you tell me the name of another silver fish on this tank video?
I have 2 with my Oscars and there constantly on the move
I have a barn and a oscar and they are beasties it's funny how they are great together I have a green terror too and the barb is the peace keeper I call mine tarrettes
In my pet store, they sell adult tinfoil barbs
I have two. They are so hard to come by in Australia. Price range here is from $40 to $100 lol. You guys in America are spoilt for choice, variety and price.
I wanna create a huge school of them if at least 8 yo 10. Great fish.
I have four 💞💞
Damn you 😂
@@justinrvarga7236 Lmao
They got bitten dramatically by other fishes in my tank, and they can easily get sick
Hi, one of my tinfoil barb jumped out of the aquarium and unable to swim when put back. Just moving in circles the same place. Any suggestions?
RIP
I think the barbs are awesome. far the best fish I have between cichlids,haps, fire mouth,jack Dempsey,catfish four lines cat, spotted cat which the spotted catfish is about as crazy as the barbs
Have 3 but they stress my green terror and Oscars out
Do a fire eel
I like the bgm alot, but heres a tip, make sure your voice is louder than the music hehe...
Zack Hernandez - removing it now. That’s the lowest it would go 😂
@@PalmerAquatics You should try the bgm, it's a small detail that can a lot help when used in the right way!
The Oscars look annoyed.
Those fish of Ricks are NOT redtail tinfoil barbs, they are another sub species of larger tinfoils that reach 14 inches and more. Cant remember the name though.
Theres 3 altus and 1 schwanenfeldii in the mix.
They grow very fast! I had a pair. Fast as F***.
Damn right off the bat completely off subject. SMH.
Oof
These Tin Foil barbs are ass holes. They will eat everything. EVERYTHING. All of your plants and anything that moves half it's size will be eaten. They are ass holes and I love them.
The other i thing picu
Any Room in your house, or the inside of your car is a reflection of you. You Tubers, please stop making excuses for being messy. If your house and cars is a mess, your tank is a mess. How busy are you? I have surrendered those Barbs, and Angel Fish before because I didn’t know how big they get. I don’t purchase those fish anymore. Black Fin Sharks also get big. Aquarium store should disclose that information before they consume your Neon Tetras. Barbs keep the smaller fish schooling. My beautiful White Angel Fish was peaceful. One day my Neon’s were disappearing, until I saw the Angel eat a couple before my eyes. I got top dollar for it. He was beautiful and healthy.
