It’s like you’re creating a whole encyclopedia for all different aspects of the hobby. I find it great that anyone looking for the knowledge it’ll be easy to find here on RUclips.
As a beginner I really love these videos! You have a lot of them, but they're sometimes kind of repetitive.. Special request: Could you do 'ecosystem' tank ideas? As in, North American Tank Ideas, South American Tank Ideas, South Asian Tank Ideas... Something that groups plant and fish ideas by their region of origin? :)
@@HardstyleGamerz In my case, they are somewhere between 3 and 4. They are growing and shedding and eating and doing what they do but as for shrimplets, not so much. But hey, I also have a betta in that tank, sooo...
I did the Celestial pearl danio tank with 6 danios, 3 vampire shrimp, 4 cherry shrimp, 3 khuli loaches and 5 emerald eye rasbora. Filled it up with a ton of different plants. Its been a few months now and the tank is doing awesome! I do 20% water changes every week and fertilize/excel the tank every day. The whole tank gets fed super evenly with some repashy powder and microworms.
Cory is the man!!! I've watched all these videos years ago and got out of the hobbie due to a near death accident, however getting back into the hobbie again and have 5 large tanks currently and these videos are just fun and informative to watch. Bit of nostalgia and knowledge, love the recognition you're getting. All the best from Australia 🇦🇺
I put together a 20 with clown pleco, 6 albino white cloud minnows, 6 regular white cloud minnows, and my betta. Looks really nice with some annubias and java ferns
for my current 20 high I have a carpet of micro swords and a backing of java fern, inside there are green neons, cherry shrimp and honey gourami and it looks great
I take all of your collective information Cory and I make notes. I have a 150 gallon that is going to be a community tank, so I hope to combine many of your suggestions. The Celestial Danios are amazing! You are right! They look like Brook Trout, one of my favorite fish!! Thanks for all of this work you do
My favorite fish for a 20 tall is white clouds! They are so good looking, and they display beautifully in a 20. Keep them with some egg eaters to keep their numbers low, or keep them separate and you'll have tons.
How about some odessa barbs, your favorite corydoras, some non baby sized Amano shrimp (my odessa barbs ate teenage sized cherry shrimp, but leave my Amanos alone), some otocinclus, or a bristlenose pleco. Don't forget lots of cool plants! I've got a bunch of vallisneria, dwarf sagittarius, Java fern windelov, vesuvius, a small Amazon sword (might have to move if it becomes huge), some susswassertang, crypt parva, and Java moss. I'm probably forgetting some other plants, haha.
I don't know why I put myself through these videos since my lease bans aquariums. I want one of each of these tanks Cory mentioned, especially that last one with the danios/dwarf chain loaches. And hell, while I'm at it, I want that 800. And a Murph tank. Sighhhhhhh.
I find these ideas and your method of bringing them to us a little too motivating truth be told. I am not one to praise some would say, but I have always maintained that a person needs to earn praise. I must say that your entire series, and all that comes with it regarding your story of development and such is just a well done series where the viewer can watch you grow in your youtube channel, as we grow in our knowledge and in turn enjoyment of this wonderful hobby. My story in short is that I have had a fish tank for over 40 years. I always asked for two of this and that. I never asked about water parameters and no one ever asked me. I never understood the dillemma of the store owner regarding the purchase of fish. I never understood PH or KH or any water parameters beyond the basics of the Nitrogen cycle. That said I started watching your series when I found a pregnant swordfish and happened across the peru trip and was hooked. Your real Cory and your videos are not selling anything or at least not very aggressively and that sells the video IMO. I have learned so very much both through you yourself and those you affiliate with etc. So I have 5 tanks now and the neon tank I set up I could not get below 7PH so now I am introducing Fluval stratum in a media bag to buffer it down after letting it sit and exhaust ammonia for a couple weeks in a cycling shrimp tank. I am entering a new world and feel supported truth be told. Keep up the good work.
teh neons btw I spoke of were week and perhaps going through osmotic shock so for the first time today I fed them live brine shrimp I cooked up last night in the bubbler. too much fun is being had..... the neons seem to be more energetic and colorful if that is possible.
Where is the video for the 20 Long? I have 2 of these tanks & would love to hear Cory's suggestions!! I think he had a fantastic combo for the 20 High!
I've got the guppy/cory/ramshorn combo sitting next to me now. In a 40g though, with lots of plants - crypts, java fern, dwarf sag, mosses, frogbit, apono ulvaceus (sp?), and more. Guppy fry seem to have no issue with predation. This tank is fun to watch.
Thank you. I was thinking of doing some pea puffers with some compatible nano fish, and maybe some plecos or loaches on the bottom, with lots and lots of plants.
Hello everyone I’m new to the hobby I’ve been watching a lot on what makes a good tank. My plan is to have a planted 20 gallon community tank by the end with 1 Berta fish a small school of neon tetra (5or6) and for a cleanup crew (3or more) Nerite snails (3-4)blue shrimp and (3-4)orange Mexican dwarf crayfish. I also wanted to set up and small aquaponic system above the tank. I’m still not sure if a tall or long tank would be better or what kind of lights, filter or water heater to get. I also wanted it to be plant heavy for the fish the be able to hide. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated thanks so much I’ve learned a lot from your videos!!
*I'm stocking a 14 gallon long with:* - 1x male Honey gourami - 4x Celestial pearl danio (1M, 3F) - Several Red cherry, Blue rilli and Amano shrimp - 3x Assassin snail
Ahhh clown killifish! I want some so bad. They're often hard to find though or sell out fast. Same with kuhli loaches. I have a 25 gallon with 2 redtail dalmatian platies, 1 Green Lantern Platy (had a female for him but she died suddenly a couple weeks ago... I think maybe bloat? I'm not sure, but she had a huge belly that was squishy), 1 golden spotted platy (not sure of the type, but she's the largest and the queen), a red Veiltail betta, and about 5 platy fry--the rest are in their own container/tub; these guys were born a few hours after I'd moved the first 11 or so. My betta enjoys scaring the fry. She's well-fed and doesn't try to eat them, but she does enjoy hunting. They're fast and wary of her though. I tried adding my blue female betta, but she was very stressed by all the platies, so I put her in her own 5 gallon, where she's much happier.
in my 20g i have a betta (a copper dumbo), norman's lampeye killifish, pygmy corys, and gertrudae rainbows (the latter was an impulse buy 😅 but they're lovely, i don't regret it)
Literally populated my 20 high planted community of guppies 36hours ago!!! 2male 6 female... 3 amano shrimp and a fresh snail hitchhiker:-) wanted to leave room for another addition but unsure what's a good fit to compliment the guppies...
These are my favorite type of vids you guys produce. I gotta say the second two ideas were my favorite. Personally #3, then #2. Shoot what am I saying, I'm a guppy breeder.... Panda guppies #1 :)
Great ideas. I have my 15 new dwarf chain loaches in my 60g with wild-type swordtails. The loaches are about 1.25" at this point. They are not quite silly yet, but they are learning from the 12 yr old clowns in the 180g next to them. My seven new Zebra loaches are 1.5" right now, they've doubled in size in a month... they cleaned out my 15g of snails - 100s of snails! Their bellies looked like Murphy post-clams. I'm yanking extra snails from my shrimp tank to feed them. Oh, and the Zebra loaches act just like clowns... only smaller.
Do you think I could have celestial pearl danios, green neons and chili rasboras all in a 20 gallon long? If so how many of each? Haven't been able to find help on this! :)
I know corys putting everyone needs an airstone on his tombstone, but my favorite saying is "im not afraid of algae" steal that and put it on my tombstone 😋
I’ve got a 450 litre tank (120g) with a bow front made by a company called Jewel. I used to have large cichlids in there but want to scale the fish down to a smaller lively tank ideally with shoaling too. Easy maintenance is a must. Also fish that are quite hardy. Any recommendations?
Wen Do you youse plant tables for your plant when you first set up your tank or after the tank is set up or wen it set for a long time or even time you do a water change
A lot of things go with shellies. I've kept guppies and mollies with them in a 55 gallon. Currently have juli transcripts, calvus and cyprichromis in my tanganyika tank.

Oh man. The killifish, cpd, and shrimp idea sounds so dope. Have to do that in the future.
Brynne Gulley SAME HERE! Couldn’t resist and just went out and bought a 20g and now is cycling and the plants are adapting.
That's my tank :-o
Question: Are the shrimps with this combination 1. Dying off 2. Barely Surviving 3. Growing slowly or 4. Breeding like crazy?
@@HardstyleGamerz
In my case, they are somewhere between 3 and 4. They are growing and shedding and eating and doing what they do but as for shrimplets, not so much. But hey, I also have a betta in that tank, sooo...
I love your idea/concept of “layering” different fish. Never thought of that
Fabulous ideas! Looking forward to the 20 long version.
I love these videos! I listen to them as ‘podcasts’ while I clean and observe my tanks. Keep up the good work:)
He does have an actual podcast! Look it up on any podcast app. Super good to listen to while doing chores or whatever

The Celestial Danios are amazing! You are right! They look like Brook Trout, one of my favorite fish!! Thanks for all of this work you do
Thank you! I wasn’t sure what I wanted in a 20 Gallon I am trying to plan and the idea of the killifish, danios, and shrimp is perfect!
My favorite fish for a 20 tall is white clouds! They are so good looking, and they display beautifully in a 20. Keep them with some egg eaters to keep their numbers low, or keep them separate and you'll have tons.
I have an Empty 29 gal (30x18x12) still have no clue as to how to Stock and what im looking for, thank you for all the information you dole out

Planning on upgrading my fish tank into a 20 gallon but RN I only have a ten gallon with guppys and tetras with some snails and shrimp
I don't know why I put myself through these videos since my lease bans aquariums. I want one of each of these tanks Cory mentioned, especially that last one with the danios/dwarf chain loaches. And hell, while I'm at it, I want that 800. And a Murph tank. Sighhhhhhh.
Aquarium CO-Op you got a new sub
Do a 29 gallon idea
Though I don’t intend to get more fish, I just can’t stop watching these videos!
Great video Corey 👌
This is great
Cory thanks for the ideas man. Next time your out in central Florida on the hunt I would love to tag along.
You da best Cory

Great video
Just got a 20 tall yesterday! The fish gods speaking!!!
I absolutely love this video do you have another one. I just got a 29 tall and new to this fist thing.
You're amazing Cory! Ideas for a 55 gallon would be the sweetest video ever! Love ya!
Some interesting combinations here... If I had the time and money, I might try a couple of these! Good ideas, Cory! :-)
Got my order so fast! I cant wait to distribute some Monte Carlo to my tanks! Great video Cory!
Where is the video for the 20 Long? I have 2 of these tanks & would love to hear Cory's suggestions!! I think he had a fantastic combo for the 20 High!
It happens all the time, I’m watching a video and thinking what a future useful topic would be and than boom, the dream comes true.
I've got the guppy/cory/ramshorn combo sitting next to me now. In a 40g though, with lots of plants - crypts, java fern, dwarf sag, mosses, frogbit, apono ulvaceus (sp?), and more. Guppy fry seem to have no issue with predation. This tank is fun to watch.

My 20 high has a gorgeous all black Moscow guppy his blue Moscow gf. 6 Kuhli loaches, 2 purple mystery snails and some amonno shrimp. Tons of plants
This Guy is legend !
Salute
OneFish2Fish Aquatic indeed!
Absolutely super humble guy
@@aceaquatics2596 не согласен
Green Neons and Pygmy Cory’s are my favorite
Yes panda guppies are cool 💚
ever gonna make a video abt the 20 long? im interested!
Nice list of fish🐠
These are some of my fav. Videos. I really wish you would do a 29 gal. And a 55. And a 90. Maybe a 75 gallon also. Keep up the awesome work brother!!!
Can i put 2:02 in a 20 gallon long, with snails?
Hello everyone I’m new to the hobby I’ve been watching a lot on what makes a good tank.

- 4x Celestial pearl danio (1M, 3F)
- Several Red cherry, Blue rilli and Amano shrimp
- 3x Assassin snail
My 20 long is currently home to my breeding pair of bristlenose. My sisters like the bristles a lot!
Woo woo! Man I've always heard the word apisto and brushed it if but those fish are gorgeous
Ahhh clown killifish! I want some so bad. They're often hard to find though or sell out fast. Same with kuhli loaches.

Hatchet, fire red, tetras. That's what I'll be adding to my fishtank - Juwel lido 120. It's a cubic shape tank that would be perfect for layering!
I love 3:54, am gonna put these in my tank. Thanks!
Sounds like some very cool ideas, thank you
in my 20g i have a betta (a copper dumbo), norman's lampeye killifish, pygmy corys, and gertrudae rainbows (the latter was an impulse buy 😅 but they're lovely, i don't regret it)
Hi Cory , awesome video !!!
How bout a 60gal tall vid. These are marineland tanks sold at Petsmart. Lots of owners for this unique tank. Thanks Cory!!!!
Literally populated my 20 high planted community of guppies 36hours ago!!! 2male 6 female... 3 amano shrimp and a fresh snail hitchhiker:-) wanted to leave room for another addition but unsure what's a good fit to compliment the guppies...
I feel like I could take your advice more seriously if you were wearing the taco hat. 😜 Thanks Cory
What kind of cleanup crew on apisto tank? Thanks!
Getting a new 16 gallon longer Lower show tank and adding my betta and two snails 🐌… any other fish I could add? Thank you so much for your content!!
Seriously love these videos
I think apistos are next on my list...
Love the vids Cory just wondering if archer fish can stay with cherry barbs
I feel like long term the archers will be big enough to eat them
Aquarium Co-Op thanks :)
These are my favorite type of vids you guys produce. I gotta say the second two ideas were my favorite. Personally #3, then #2.
Shoot what am I saying, I'm a guppy breeder.... Panda guppies #1 :)
java fern is my favorite plant
Great video!! I would love to see more combinations for bigger tank sizes too.
Love these ideas! Thank you!
Hey! Could you maybe do some ideas for an 8 gallon? Love the channel!
Great video, Cory! Hope you do one for a 55 gallon.
Do I need to remove carbon from filter to use your ez green fertilizer?
Yes because the carbon while absorb the fertilizer if you leave it in the filter.
Great ideas.
I have my 15 new dwarf chain loaches in my 60g with wild-type swordtails. The loaches are about 1.25" at this point.

Great selection of fish🐠, just the type that I would like to keep 👍🏼
I got a cube tank 1.5*1.5*1.5 ( about 20 gal) which already has 6 blue zebra .. want to make it a planted one .. what more can I add to it..
Great job!
Currently doing CPDs, pink rams horn snails, and cherry shrimp lol
could you have a small corydora with apisto?
Do you think I could have celestial pearl danios, green neons and chili rasboras all in a 20 gallon long? If so how many of each? Haven't been able to find help on this! :)
Where did you get the kuhili loach plush ???
I know corys putting everyone needs an airstone on his tombstone, but my favorite saying is "im not afraid of algae" steal that and put it on my tombstone 😋
In my semi planted tank I keep low stock and use 5 neon tetras and 1 velvet swordtail along with 2 nerite snails and 1 mystery snail
How about ideas for your 125 gallon aquarium. I just picked one up and am doing discus but just would love to see what you guys suggest.
Killifish are carnivores and predatory, even though they're small. Pretty sure they would eat the shrimp and maybe be aggressive to the danios.
a5teroth Yes killifish are a predatory fish. CLOWN killifish are a peaceful community tank fish AS long as you keep them with other peaceful fish.
I have a 20 tall with guppies and platies but there hasn’t been much breeding. I’ll try increasing the temperature.
Do a 15 column next!
A great bit of info Cory. I'll check to see if we have most of those fish here in Australia... hmm..
We have them, just not sure on that specific danio because I haven't personally seen it, still most likely have it though!
Always great ideas! Love it!
have you done a 20 long video yet?
Great pairings. I'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts on 20L stocking.
👍💕👍
Great video my friend👍
Love danios
I have strawberry Rasbora, habrosus cories and amano shrimp in my 20 long
I’ve got a 450 litre tank (120g) with a bow front made by a company called Jewel.
I used to have large cichlids in there but want to scale the fish down to a smaller lively tank ideally with shoaling too. Easy maintenance is a must. Also fish that are quite hardy.
Any recommendations?
Aye was looking for this all day
Wen Do you youse plant tables for your plant when you first set up your tank or after the tank is set up or wen it set for a long time or even time you do a water change
I have 6 harlequin rasbora in my 20L. I plan on adding my betta soon. My question is do you think adding 4 or 5 cory catfish would be over stocking?
Any concern with the killifish and the shrimp being compatible?
🤔For some reason, I was expecting a scarlet badis tank to be in the mix...🤷🏾♂️
Can you make a video on best solo fish for 15gal aquarium? Or anyone have any ideas? I just want one fish, so a non schooling fish.
can you do one of what chicld can be kept together, please? I'm trying to find out what can go in with shellies
A lot of things go with shellies. I've kept guppies and mollies with them in a 55 gallon. Currently have juli transcripts, calvus and cyprichromis in my tanganyika tank.
My 20 has honey gourami, guppies, Glowlight tetras and corydoras julii. It was as a pet tank not to look good-regret not aquascaping more
Big fan dude, quick question, doing a only neon tetra planted 15 gallon how many tetras max for this tank. Keep up the good work 👊👊
14 at most....but of you wanna keep a clean up crew of corydoras then I'd go with 10
