Hi,I am DEBDUTTA from INDIA.I have heared that dwarf gourami is easy to keep.so I try to keep it several time but after one or two months they get sicke, colour going dull,and one day die.but in same tank angel feeling good.one thing is that all dwarfs symptoms are same before dieing.from internet I read that there is a dwarf gourami virous cames from Malaysia which is non treatable.is there any solution.becsz dwarf gourami is so beautiful no one can't compete their fish keeping without it.
I have a question re guppies if anyone is still around on these older vids. I'm totally decided on my re start to fish thanks to these vids! And I'm now quickly becoming a guppy lover. But my question is, if I can't find a female of a certain variety, can I just buy varietal males and still get fry that are true? I think not, and I'd have to order females online? 🙏 Thanks in advance🙏
man i work in a grocery store but if the owner of my store ran a fish store it would be a lot like yours!! It's awesome to see how you run your buisness, you seem to treat your employes/customers well, i bout a fluval 3 from you and it came really bent and i asked if i could return it for a new one after i bent it back and... it worked but i just wanted one not damaged for the price and your awesome customer service told me to keep it and sent me a new one so now my 120 has double the lighting i was shooting for and its so much better as soon as i have the cash for it my 37,29,and 10 gallons will have lights from you, i love knowing im buying from someone who looks out for their customers!!
Cory, I'm running a 10G planted tank with no heater, 1 squirt ferts, sponge filters, and white clouds for a very easy to maintain, beautiful planted tank.
I have three ten gallons right now. Tank one: Betta, ottos, and ADF. Tank two: Betta, 9 glowlight rasboras, some ghost and amano shrimp. Tank three: we just set this up, hastatus cory, bumblebee gobi, and red fin cory. I LOVE the redfins -- they're slightly smaller than the pandas, and they're red and black. I thought this tank would need more in the upper level swimming, but the hastatus cory and the gobis actually swim around quite a bit, and the gobis actually perch on a betta leaf I threw in there.
I've seen mixed things about that. These guys were born and raised in freshwater and the LFS I got them from (who I trust) said they'd be fine in freshwater. I have some mollies in a brackish tank and if they seem to be doing poorly in the freshwater tank I'll move them over there.
@@Mimiheart9 How are those gobies doing now? I've been thinking of getting some for my tank but there's been so much mixed information, some say they are entirely brackish and others say they are fine in fresh.
My planted tank with white clouds and a male betta is super easy. Normally have snails also, but I sold the baby mystery snails that were in there and haven't transferred any others into it yet.
I have 3 empty 10's all running with sponge filters for the last 3 week's. Funny thing is, I still don't know what I want to put in them. I do like the Apistogramma idea tough. Thanks Cory
I've got some more ideas coming out in the future. You can also check out my top 10 fish for a 10 gallon video: ruclips.net/video/0MzfLrSqfXY/видео.html&list=PLNM4mDAXGxWx2xBHIYoP8FhhOZJeSmmMh
ckatlinga just make sure that you get some young neos. They will survive the change better. I keep neos in 45 tds that way. The offspring will be more adapted and on it goes. Some crushed corals sure helps but when u almost got RO out of the tap it is easier to adapt things to the soft water.
ckatlinga I have neocaridina shrimp and they are easy to keep as long as you have the water. I would suggest starting a tank fpr m scratch and using a water test kit. Set up the tank with plants and no additives in the water at all. As soon as the tank is that same day do a water test. Now you know what needs to change. Put in the chemicals you need and test the water every one to two weeks when there is plant groth and you have the right hardness then its time to get shrimp. I had nothing in my 20 gallion for a month and a half before getting shrimp. My water ph was off and I needed time for the shells in my take to help correct it. Water is differnt every where checking ppm won't help unless you know what is in your water. Drift wood can change water composition too so if you are going to use wood put it in at the begging. If you test your water and give it time you will be ready for shrimp and they will thrive in your tank.
Aside from Amano, Neocaridina is supposed to be the easier one. That said, a lot of sellers just temporarily stock ones from overseas, so they get shipped to your country, wait a week, then get shipped to you. It's hard on them. Try finding some that say they were bred in whatever country you're in. Also, some people *theorize* that certain colors are harder to keep, as they're a tad more inbred. Goldenback yellows, for example, are the ones I hear that about the most. No idea if it's true or not. They are crazy sensitive to ammonia but it sounds like you know to not have ammonia in your tank already. Also, they can (supposedly) be sensitive to some water conditioners, and it's best to drip acclimate them for at least 4 hours before adding to tank. They are super wimps about new parameters, even if the TDS matches their optimal. I even drip my water change water back into the tank at this point.
Love all your videos! I’ve learned almost everything I know from all your videos, thank you for sharing all your tips and tricks! You have saved many fish lives
I have a 10 gallon set up for my platy fry. 7 that are 3 weeks and 1 that is around 8 weeks. I was kind of nervous to put my smaller babies with the older baby after reading stories of older fry killing off the younger fry but she loves them. She's like the big sister of the tank. I plan to add a few mystery snails in the near future to keep up with the food they do not eat. I really enjoy watching your videos! I'm fairly new to the hobby I've only got about 6 months under my belt but your channel has really helped me on how to stock my tanks!
I have a 10 gallon planted with painted platys and snails, another with a betta and snails, and the newest with white clouds and baby guppies from my patio pond so I can see them growing up. I really am enjoying my white clouds. It's the first time I've tried them. I started with 6 in a 40 gallon pond and they, the guppies and the platys out there have taken off. They remind me of neons with how bright and flashy they are ( side view..lol. Not much to look at top down in my pond. ) But I think they are very enjoyable little fish.
Really great way to expound on your Top 10 Fish for a 10 Gallon video. Learning the best plants to pair with them to create a great backdrop is appreciated. I hope there is more to come!
Thanks to one of your other stocking videos I have 5 new cobra guppies plus my big old pearl danio (3 years old now) plus an Amano Shrimp in my 10. I also added a Ludwigia to the java ferns and Anubias and gotta say, nice look in’ tank. Thanks so much for your fish and plant videos!
Mine's a 14 gallon that's maybe three months old. I have a pair of golden honey gourami and some neon blue rasboras with lots of live plants. Super fun to watch, easy to keep, and the gourami have already produced fry! Their couting behaviour is really interesting, too.
Nice video. I love this format/setup. Ten and twenty gallon tanks are awesome. So much more fun and flexible than most aquarist realize. Too many hobbyist immediately go to the largest tanks they can afford and/or fit. Kudos and Cheers.
Yesss! That would be too cool to see more just like this, but for the different tank sizes /shapes out there! (Common varieties of course. I can only imagine a series getting rather lengthy otherwise... 😧) Thanks for the cool ideas!
I had about 12 celebes in a 40 for about a year, they were hands down, the most interesting fish to watch, especially in the morning when sunlight would shine right in the tanks, the males would go crazy.
I am a beginner and started with guppies thanks to you. I love guppies they are amazing fish and very hardy. Being a beginner i have done many mistakes and one was not treating them when I first brought them home i lost one and didn’t know why with research and watching your videos i now understand more of caring for these fish and i am so happy with them.
My favorite 10 gallon set up is heavily planted tank with a betta, 5 Amano shrimp, and a couple Zebra Nerites. Maintainance is super easy, a couple pellets and Brine shrimp each day for the betta, and there's enough plant matter for the shrimp and snails that they don't require additional feeding. The plants eat up all the nitrates, so occasional water changes to replace mineral and clean any solid waste are needed (2-3 times a month for me.)
My first 10 has 9 guppies and mostly planted. It has the beach thing going on but I want to take out the sand and add more plants. The second 10 gallon has a pair of gold rims who are hanging out for a short bit while I finish scaping their tank, which is also a 10 gallon. In the final 10 gallon is fully planning with seven Neon Tetras and I would like to add maybe three for more. Or possibly some dwarf Cories.
I've found myself immersed in US native fish for my indoor and outdoor set ups. For a 10 gallon, I basically follow Corey's advice about picking fish that fill out the water column and provide complimentary interest and provide a heavily planted tank. I've stocked my 10g with Okefenokee Pygmy Sunfish (4) 1 male 3 Females. They act similarly to Apistos, in they carve out territories and the male does a lot of display and develops vibrant breeding coloration. Least Killifish (3) 1 Male 2 Females. These little livebearers are active and prolific. They swim from the bottom to the top. Pygmy Killifish (5) 2 males 3 females. Swim in the middle and upper sections and have great yellow breeding coloration. I've really enjoyed the tank and all of the fish have been breeding so I've set up an outdoor tub and given fish away to friends in the hobby.
such an informative video for many who don't have the capability/funds to own a larger tank. I personally keep a small shoal of golden white clouds and amanos for algae control in my 10 gallon planted 🌿 some great options for beginners - very hardy! thanks Cory! 😄
I have a 55 litre tank fully planted, with Tetras a couple of leopard corys and also a few ottos, my thing seems to be the plants I love to see my fish enjoying the setup I've created
I have 2 10 gallon tanks, one is planted with amazon sword, anubias, and java moss all over aquatic wood. fish stocked are, 3 mollies, 1 panda kory, 1 veil angelfish( i know it will get big and i have another tank for her when that happens) 1 albino bristlenose pleco, and 2 ghost shrimp. 2nd tank stocked with 1 rainbow shark, 1 dwarf gourami, 1 small golden angelfish, 3 longfin blue leopard danio, 1 kribensis cichlid, and 1 baby bristlenose pleco. on both tanks i have not only hang on back filters but I also use long tube filters hooked up to airstone. stocking is heavy but on the first tank the plants do a great job of using the nitrates meaning I dont get too much algae and I dont have to change the water quite as often
I love the studio. I do like watching your old videos with your goldfish in the background still, but your studio is PRO now. Congratulations on all of your success! Very much earned and deserved!
My ten gallon: Ten Chili Rasbora, Red Cherry Shrimp (started with about 12 nine months ago have well over a hundred now), Nerite snails (smaller ones), Some pest snails, Various Anubias, Some Hornwart (Grows quick, easy to prune out, helps keep the place clean), some cheap marimo moss balls and some water wisteria. Hardware: Big box store ten gallon tank (dollar per gallon sale), corner matter filter, glass lid and a fluval 3.0 nano light (had to trim some plastic from the top rim for it to fit). My water is soft, so I keep some crushed coral in the tank also, some flourite, and a big pile of smooth river rocks pilled up, a piece of mopani wood and some cholla wood.
I like the natural tank. I have 8 dace minnows and two madtom cats for a ten gal tank. I live in Roanoke Virginia and there is a cool alga that looks like a plant that is perfect for the tank. The Algae is easy to take care of never had to use fertilizer and it grows fairly well even in dim light. I use these algae in a fishbowl that can support a good population of daphnia which is good food for the minnows. Dace minnows will quickly learn to eat flake fish food. Back in the 1970s, I used a corner air filter with carbon and fiberfill. Then I used an on the back power filter with carbon and fiberfill and an airstone in each corner. The minnows like fast-moving water so I used a thirty gal back power filter. Dace minnows love to jump so an aquarium top is a must. The best thing is you don't need a heater. The madtoms are a two-inch catfish that if you get pierced by one of their fins it is something you won't forget anytime soon. In the spring the male dace minnows will get a bright red stripe running down their bodies. I had a plastic wood-like log that the madtoms like to hide in. I have caught these fish in the Roanoke River.
I love the first idea. I'm very fond of small, colorful fish; if I can keep them with a betta, shrimp, snails and/or dwarf corys, even better. I have limited space so right now my tanks are all 20G or under. All planted and doing well. Maybe my next I'll try one or another of these setups!
my daughter's tank is the "54321 Tank" 5 neons 4 shrimp, cherry reds currently 3 cory cats, irridecent green 2 nerite snails, 1 black lyretail, but, it's orange and black and 5 plants, for good measure: vallesneria, anubias nana "petite", java fern "windelov", hygrophila difformis all if this lives in a pool filter sand substrate that gets dosed every 4 days with 1 pump of fertilizer from Aquarium Co-Op and I just added a couple of root tabs because the vallesneria is looking a bit weak.
I came across your channel a few weeks ago and I love them. I did saltwater tanks for many years. I recently sold most of what I had and kept 1, 30 gallon square tank. I wanted to have a German Blue Ram tank, but I guess I didn't have the tank warm enough. I keep it around 78-79. I grew up with Mom doing Guppy and Cory tanks. I wanted something different so I want to see Rams.
You’re enabling my MTS! Really loved this video - so much info packed into a short time. I’ve watched it twice already. How can I get the healthiest (hardiest) guppies? LFS or on-line? Any particular type stronger than others?
I used to have White Clouds and snails in a planted 10 gallon. First time I had egg-layers breed successfully! Now I am planning for a group of Celestial Pearl Danios, Cherry Red shrimp (maybe in blue or orange), and a Honey Gourami in a planted tank.
I've got a 10-gallon planted Aquarium. I've had it up for a little over a year. It's stocked with 2 Orange platys, 3 guppies, 5 neon tetras, 5 albino tetras, 3 Otocinclus, 5 cherry shrimp, 5 ghost shrimp, 3 nerite snails My plants are... anubias, java fern, brazilian pennywort, wisteria, amazon sword, ludwigia and telanthera cardinalis.
I have 2 ten gallons, ones a tannin tropical tank, 4 neon tetras, 3 black neon, 2 red eye tetra, 2 black skirt tetra, a bristle-nose pleco, and a koi betta (male) they all do great together, its heavily planted. my second 10 gallon has a albino Bristle nose pleco, 2 emerald Cory Cats, a otocincilius, and a school of eastern mosquito fish that I have been breeding, with a sand substrate and all naturally found wood and rocks.
Platies, you just can't miss trying them out. Outside of a little aggressiveness on occasion, pretty easy to keep happy, grow fast, hearty eater, very much fun to watch.
Awesome video and thank you for your channel , you convinced me to get guppies! I was sad when my betta died and I was looking for fish to get my mind off of it and here came the addition of guppies. I got a 15 gallon with some cory cats, guppies and cherry shrimp.
I just finished cycling my first ever tank that is a ten gallon so this video was perfect for me! Definitely getting guppies because Cory said so haha. I have been watching your vids for a while and have wanted a fish tank ever since!
Hey Cory, I'm in Australia and love your videos. Great info but sometimes its hard to get similar fish over here. I have 3 tanks at present and the smallest is a 40 litre tank which I have SF Albino BN in it with a small piece of wood and Anubias on it, then the next tank is a 80 litre tank with endlers and guppies and Peppermint Plecos and SF Albino BN, the last tank is my big tank a 4ft tank(450 litre) which has various types of BN and L number Plecos for breeding and several other smaller groups of types of community fish with lots of plants and wood in it.
My current 10gal settup: 4 Neon Tetras 3 guppies (1 male 2 females and 4 fry that are getting bigger) I had a pleco but it died so I might get some assassin snails
I only have one tank (yes, total - fighting the MTS hard!), it is a 10 gallon. I have 1 betta, 1 olive nerite, and a pair of (constantly reproducing) mystery snails. I do have lots of ideas for other tanks I'd like to do, but I'm fighting the MTS urge! I love the video!
I have a 20 gallon tank to set up and I haven't had a tank in over 30 years. I used to have tanks and loved them. I used underground filters and had a diatom filter. I have a diatom filter for heavy cleaning and want a lot of plants. I feel so outdated.
I started on your channel learning how to cycle my first 28 gallon tall I believe . And 2 years later I have 2 tubs in my backyard with fancy goldfish their doing great always have lol. And I’m on my 4th tank now lol. Going with the guppies probably.
Ive seen a lot of your site-seeing videos, and I’m pleasantly surprised that those tacky ornaments you’ve accumulated are really putting in the work, congrats.
I tried setting up a 10 gallon male only guppy tank (didn't want to deal with the breeding) but the males bullied eachother and I lost a few - I have since moved the remaining males to a much larger tank and they're doing fine, and have a betta with some corydoras in the 10 gallon going well.
In my 10 gallon i have 5 zebra danios 3 neon tetras my brother gave up on and a platy my other brother gave up on, its a weird mix of fish but they get along well and the live plants help
“And the males will be flashing at the females like look at me, and then we can see them too” so basically long story short, the fish think of us as the creepy neighbour who always looks over the fence while your snogging your gf
I know it's not a great place to get fish but Petco sells clown plecos. Have for a while now. They are $9 at my local one. I got 2 9 months ago and both are still alive and doing great.
Just got a few neon tetras! So cool looking, love them! Read 8 per 10gal, would like more! But don’t want to over load tank! Also have 3 mystery snails in there!
i have a 10 gallon, and ive put some ghost shrimp, a pair of amano, and a trio of guppys, in a planted, dirt/sand bottom. but i have a question, how do i safely clean out the ah, waste, off the sand? my set up isnt fantastic, but its been a fun few months!
So I’m getting a 10 gallon tank soon but I’ve heard that the topfin 10 filter cartridges cost a lost to replace. I’ve also heard that I can just take those out and put in a sponge and bio rings. What should I do to keep my filter running without spending a lot of money?
Great information! All I have is a 14 inch Common Pleco and he doesn’t seem to like plants. I do but he doesn’t. Lol. I do have a 10 gallon also. Thanks for the information!
Crazy! I just ordered 5 luminatus rainbows last night for my 10gal. I have a piece of mopani wood, some annubias, java fern windelov, crypt parva and dwarf chain sword for my scape. Can't decide between pygmy Corys or blue velvet shrimp for my clean-up crew. I have eco-complete for substrate, will that be to jagged for the Corys?
My girlfriend wants a 10 gallon tank with a betta, khuli loaches and runny nose tetras. Any recommendations on plants for them or if that group of fish would be okay together? And how many of the tetras would be good for a 10 gallon tank? I was thinking about 6. Separate thought: aquarium co-op videos are like crack you watch one then I get drawn into this wormhole of Cory’s face and my girlfriend always laughs at me because every time she looks at me she sees Cory. Love the videos always learning new things from this channel 🤓🤓
Do guppy’s get along with silver hatchetfish? I was given a 10 gallon tank w 2 hatchetfish in it.. I’m told I need like 4 more for they are happy but really want to get some colorful fish in there and ones that don’t hang out at the top of the tank so much.
Do you need more ideas? Check out this video: bit.ly/2Bjis2s
Aquarium Co-Op would you recommend Endlers?
Aquarium Co-Op i got a 2 gallon long and i don't know what to do it was my baby crestedgeckos but he had a tank upgrade
Hi,I am DEBDUTTA from INDIA.I have heared that dwarf gourami is easy to keep.so I try to keep it several time but after one or two months they get sicke, colour going dull,and one day die.but in same tank angel feeling good.one thing is that all dwarfs symptoms are same before dieing.from internet I read that there is a dwarf gourami virous cames from Malaysia which is non treatable.is there any solution.becsz dwarf gourami is so beautiful no one can't compete their fish keeping without it.
Aquarium Co-Op do bumble cats works with cory dorys
I have a question re guppies if anyone is still around on these older vids. I'm totally decided on my re start to fish thanks to these vids! And I'm now quickly becoming a guppy lover.

@@ejaakawd4665 They're fine.
@@Mimiheart9 Cool thanks.
I have 10g with Guppies and it’s probably my favorite tank in my collection.
Great suggestions Cory, good video. Love to see more for 20gal, 55gal. Always great content thank you. Have a good day.
My planted tank with white clouds and a male betta is super easy. Normally have snails also, but I sold the baby mystery snails that were in there and haven't transferred any others into it yet.
But white clouds and bettas need different temperatures right?
I have 3 empty 10's all running with sponge filters for the last 3 week's. Funny thing is, I still don't know what I want to put in them. I do like the Apistogramma idea tough. Thanks Cory
I've got some more ideas coming out in the future. You can also check out my top 10 fish for a 10 gallon video: ruclips.net/video/0MzfLrSqfXY/видео.html&list=PLNM4mDAXGxWx2xBHIYoP8FhhOZJeSmmMh
So, what did you fill them with?
Dont forget about shrimp! They make for a fun 10g. Great video as always!
shrimp is a must in any planted tank. i prioritise them over any pleco/catfish.
ckatlinga just make sure that you get some young neos. They will survive the change better. I keep neos in 45 tds that way. The offspring will be more adapted and on it goes. Some crushed corals sure helps but when u almost got RO out of the tap it is easier to adapt things to the soft water.

Just buy another one, that what $1/g sales are for~😈
Benjamin P. When do those happen
Ethen Rosas a dollar per gallon sale is on rn
Dollar per gal sale on till march 31st!!!
Do they have almost unlimited tank supplies?
Love all your videos! I’ve learned almost everything I know from all your videos, thank you for sharing all your tips and tricks! You have saved many fish lives
I would also recommend keeping shell dwelling cichlids from Lake Tanganyika in a 10 gallon tank. Super fun and fish with tons of personality.
I have a 10 gallon set up for my platy fry. 7 that are 3 weeks and 1 that is around 8 weeks. I was kind of nervous to put my smaller babies with the older baby after reading stories of older fry killing off the younger fry but she loves them. She's like the big sister of the tank.

I could always use more tank ideas 😃

Carson Durrant yeah Cory please do maybe a 5 gallon
Yesss! That would be too cool to see more just like this, but for the different tank sizes /shapes out there! (Common varieties of course. I can only imagine a series getting rather lengthy otherwise... 😧)
Thanks for the cool ideas!
I love the look of the studio Cory!

I think guppies with a variety of different fish that get along with each other I am also wanting to get live plants in my next tank.
Yassss!! What a coincidence I will be getting a 10,gallon soon and can NOT make up my mind on setup
Making your mind up is tough, it's good to want multiple things.
Haha, yeah, but only to an extent ;)
My favorite 10 gallon set up is heavily planted tank with a betta, 5 Amano shrimp, and a couple Zebra Nerites. Maintainance is super easy, a couple pellets and Brine shrimp each day for the betta, and there's enough plant matter for the shrimp and snails that they don't require additional feeding. The plants eat up all the nitrates, so occasional water changes to replace mineral and clean any solid waste are needed (2-3 times a month for me.)
I got a 10g planted tank with mollies, 3 salt and pepper corys and nerite snails. I sell the babies about every 3-4 months. ^^
My first 10 has 9 guppies and mostly planted. It has the beach thing going on but I want to take out the sand and add more plants. The second 10 gallon has a pair of gold rims who are hanging out for a short bit while I finish scaping their tank, which is also a 10 gallon. In the final 10 gallon is fully planning with seven Neon Tetras and I would like to add maybe three for more. Or possibly some dwarf Cories.
I like Neocaradinas with Otocinclus and lots of Kubotai Rasboras or Exclamation Point Rasboras. Planted of course.
I've found myself immersed in US native fish for my indoor and outdoor set ups. For a 10 gallon, I basically follow Corey's advice about picking fish that fill out the water column and provide complimentary interest and provide a heavily planted tank.
I've stocked my 10g with Okefenokee Pygmy Sunfish (4) 1 male 3 Females. They act similarly to Apistos, in they carve out territories and the male does a lot of display and develops vibrant breeding coloration. Least Killifish (3) 1 Male 2 Females. These little livebearers are active and prolific. They swim from the bottom to the top. Pygmy Killifish (5) 2 males 3 females. Swim in the middle and upper sections and have great yellow breeding coloration.
I've really enjoyed the tank and all of the fish have been breeding so I've set up an outdoor tub and given fish away to friends in the hobby.
My 10 gallon is absolutely filled with guppies, shrimp, and plants. I probably have 10 to 12 different types of plants growing in it right now.
Net Aquascape what kind of shrimp
Great i have a 10 gallon just sitting around waiting for a good idea✌
Mike Jurnak hah "waiting for a good idea"
Guppy tanks are amazing
I love my guppy tank! Don't think I will ever give it up
such an informative video for many who don't have the capability/funds to own a larger tank. I personally keep a small shoal of golden white clouds and amanos for algae control in my 10 gallon planted 🌿 some great options for beginners - very hardy! thanks Cory! 😄
Keeping six pygmy corys, a dwarf gourami, and a few zebra danios in a 10 gallon tank right now
Can you make a video about fresh water tea cup sting rays. And what type of setup is best for them :)!
I have a 55 litre tank fully planted, with Tetras a couple of leopard corys and also a few ottos, my thing seems to be the plants I love to see my fish enjoying the setup I've created
I have 2 10 gallon tanks, one is planted with amazon sword, anubias, and java moss all over aquatic wood. fish stocked are, 3 mollies, 1 panda kory, 1 veil angelfish( i know it will get big and i have another tank for her when that happens) 1 albino bristlenose pleco, and 2 ghost shrimp. 2nd tank stocked with 1 rainbow shark, 1 dwarf gourami, 1 small golden angelfish, 3 longfin blue leopard danio, 1 kribensis cichlid, and 1 baby bristlenose pleco. on both tanks i have not only hang on back filters but I also use long tube filters hooked up to airstone. stocking is heavy but on the first tank the plants do a great job of using the nitrates meaning I dont get too much algae and I dont have to change the water quite as often
Paradise fish, white clowd mountain minnows and horned nerite snails. Interesting Chinese biotope with no heater.
I love the studio. I do like watching your old videos with your goldfish in the background still, but your studio is PRO now. Congratulations on all of your success! Very much earned and deserved!
Love the ceramic koi in the background!!
My ten gallon: Ten Chili Rasbora, Red Cherry Shrimp (started with about 12 nine months ago have well over a hundred now), Nerite snails (smaller ones), Some pest snails, Various Anubias, Some Hornwart (Grows quick, easy to prune out, helps keep the place clean), some cheap marimo moss balls and some water wisteria. Hardware: Big box store ten gallon tank (dollar per gallon sale), corner matter filter, glass lid and a fluval 3.0 nano light (had to trim some plastic from the top rim for it to fit). My water is soft, so I keep some crushed coral in the tank also, some flourite, and a big pile of smooth river rocks pilled up, a piece of mopani wood and some cholla wood.
Also wanted to say, the video quality on this video was really great. Good job video team.
Love this format of video. Props guys.
the red rainbows with the neon blue look really cool
I ended up doing the ten gallon guppy tank with panda guppies, and it is pretty fun. I just saw the first fry two days ago :)
I like the natural tank. I have 8 dace minnows and two madtom cats for a ten gal tank. I live in Roanoke Virginia and there is a cool alga that looks like a plant that is perfect for the tank. The Algae is easy to take care of never had to use fertilizer and it grows fairly well even in dim light. I use these algae in a fishbowl that can support a good population of daphnia which is good food for the minnows. Dace minnows will quickly learn to eat flake fish food. Back in the 1970s, I used a corner air filter with carbon and fiberfill. Then I used an on the back power filter with carbon and fiberfill and an airstone in each corner. The minnows like fast-moving water so I used a thirty gal back power filter. Dace minnows love to jump so an aquarium top is a must. The best thing is you don't need a heater. The madtoms are a two-inch catfish that if you get pierced by one of their fins it is something you won't forget anytime soon. In the spring the male dace minnows will get a bright red stripe running down their bodies. I had a plastic wood-like log that the madtoms like to hide in. I have caught these fish in the Roanoke River.
I love the first idea. I'm very fond of small, colorful fish; if I can keep them with a betta, shrimp, snails and/or dwarf corys, even better. I have limited space so right now my tanks are all 20G or under. All planted and doing well. Maybe my next I'll try one or another of these setups!
Awesome video! I’ve watched all your videos and can’t tell you how helpful they are! Thanks man, keep doing what you’re doing
Wow, I'm REALLY digging the aquariart shelves! Works perfect for this kind of video!
Thanks, need to find a few more knick knacks on my travels
my daughter's tank is the "54321 Tank"
5 neons
4 shrimp, cherry reds currently
3 cory cats, irridecent green
2 nerite snails,
1 black lyretail, but, it's orange and black
and 5 plants, for good measure:
vallesneria, anubias nana "petite", java fern "windelov", hygrophila difformis
all if this lives in a pool filter sand substrate that gets dosed every 4 days with 1 pump of fertilizer from Aquarium Co-Op and I just added a couple of root tabs because the vallesneria is looking a bit weak.
Enjoyed the video, I have a planted 10 gal with only snails and neocaradina cherry and orange rili at this time. Getting ready for my 3rd generation.
Always learn something or benefit from the information review. Thanks for what you do for the hobby. Thanks for this video!
I have a planted 10 gallon with a bunch of cherry shrimp and 5 sparkling gourami. It’s my favorite tank.
Jerm DaWorm YOU HAVE FIVE GOURAMIS IN A TEN GALLON
I came across your channel a few weeks ago and I love them. I did saltwater tanks for many years. I recently sold most of what I had and kept 1, 30 gallon square tank. I wanted to have a German Blue Ram tank, but I guess I didn't have the tank warm enough. I keep it around 78-79. I grew up with Mom doing Guppy and Cory tanks. I wanted something different so I want to see Rams.
You’re enabling my MTS! Really loved this video - so much info packed into a short time. I’ve watched it twice already. How can I get the healthiest (hardiest) guppies? LFS or on-line? Any particular type stronger than others?
Locally bred would be the hardiest. Then I think online from a reputable source would be next
I used to have White Clouds and snails in a planted 10 gallon. First time I had egg-layers breed successfully! Now I am planning for a group of Celestial Pearl Danios, Cherry Red shrimp (maybe in blue or orange), and a Honey Gourami in a planted tank.
I’m torn between starting a guppy tank or Endlers for my classroom in the fall!
This is a great, creative video idea cory! I hope you do more for other sized tanks!
I have three 10 gallons. One is a panda guppy tank, one has a single pea puffer, and the last is my grow out tank for my wild strawberry bettas. :)
I've got a 10-gallon planted Aquarium. I've had it up for a little over a year. It's stocked with 2 Orange platys, 3 guppies, 5 neon tetras, 5 albino tetras, 3 Otocinclus, 5 cherry shrimp, 5 ghost shrimp, 3 nerite snails
My plants are... anubias, java fern, brazilian pennywort, wisteria, amazon sword, ludwigia and telanthera cardinalis.
Nice list! I just got some lampeye rasboras that would go great in a ten gallon.
I have 2 ten gallons, ones a tannin tropical tank, 4 neon tetras, 3 black neon, 2 red eye tetra, 2 black skirt tetra, a bristle-nose pleco, and a koi betta (male) they all do great together, its heavily planted. my second 10 gallon has a albino Bristle nose pleco, 2 emerald Cory Cats, a otocincilius, and a school of eastern mosquito fish that I have been breeding, with a sand substrate and all naturally found wood and rocks.
Dillon Gunn In my opinion the first one sounds overstocked. Good luck though.
It sounds like a nice environment though!
Platies, you just can't miss trying them out. Outside of a little aggressiveness on occasion, pretty easy to keep happy, grow fast, hearty eater, very much fun to watch.
I believe they need a larger tank than a 10 gallon personally.
Aquarium Co-Op Yes, I agree.
Do marimo balls really help aquariams? I would like to hear your opinion on them.
Technically yes. They have a few benefits but won't be anything earth shattering.
Awesome video and thank you for your channel , you convinced me to get guppies! I was sad when my betta died and I was looking for fish to get my mind off of it and here came the addition of guppies. I got a 15 gallon with some cory cats, guppies and cherry shrimp.
I just finished cycling my first ever tank that is a ten gallon so this video was perfect for me! Definitely getting guppies because Cory said so haha. I have been watching your vids for a while and have wanted a fish tank ever since!
Guppies are amazing once you get em going.
Hey Cory, I'm in Australia and love your videos. Great info but sometimes its hard to get similar fish over here. I have 3 tanks at present and the smallest is a 40 litre tank which I have SF Albino BN in it with a small piece of wood and Anubias on it, then the next tank is a 80 litre tank with endlers and guppies and Peppermint Plecos and SF Albino BN, the last tank is my big tank a 4ft tank(450 litre) which has various types of BN and L number Plecos for breeding and several other smaller groups of types of community fish with lots of plants and wood in it.
Kuhli loaches are so cool, they're honestly my favorite fish I have.
How big of a tank do you got them in?
I’m setting up my first large tank. It’s a 120 gallon bow front tank. Could you please do a vid on stocking ideas for a larger aquarium
Great video Cory. Thank you from Manchester, England.
Love this vid!! The first fish seems really cool the apistos too, I'm gonna look into them more.
My current 10gal settup: 4 Neon Tetras 3 guppies (1 male 2 females and 4 fry that are getting bigger) I had a pleco but it died so I might get some assassin snails
I only have one tank (yes, total - fighting the MTS hard!), it is a 10 gallon. I have 1 betta, 1 olive nerite, and a pair of (constantly reproducing) mystery snails. I do have lots of ideas for other tanks I'd like to do, but I'm fighting the MTS urge! I love the video!
I have a 20 gallon tank to set up and I haven't had a tank in over 30 years. I used to have tanks and loved them. I used underground filters and had a diatom filter. I have a diatom filter for heavy cleaning and want a lot of plants. I feel so outdated.
I started on your channel learning how to cycle my first 28 gallon tall I believe . And 2 years later I have 2 tubs in my backyard with fancy goldfish their doing great always have lol. And I’m on my 4th tank now lol. Going with the guppies probably.
Ive seen a lot of your site-seeing videos, and I’m pleasantly surprised that those tacky ornaments you’ve accumulated are really putting in the work, congrats.
I tried setting up a 10 gallon male only guppy tank (didn't want to deal with the breeding) but the males bullied eachother and I lost a few - I have since moved the remaining males to a much larger tank and they're doing fine, and have a betta with some corydoras in the 10 gallon going well.
In my 10 gallon i have 5 zebra danios 3 neon tetras my brother gave up on and a platy my other brother gave up on, its a weird mix of fish but they get along well and the live plants help
This was a different format. I like it. Nice use of Jimmy's photos
“And the males will be flashing at the females like look at me, and then we can see them too” so basically long story short, the fish think of us as the creepy neighbour who always looks over the fence while your snogging your gf
I know it's not a great place to get fish but Petco sells clown plecos. Have for a while now. They are $9 at my local one. I got 2 9 months ago and both are still alive and doing great.
Thank you sir, youre now my inspiration!
Great topic, I have been dragging my feet on setting up a 9 gallon I got on special a few months back.
Just got a few neon tetras! So cool looking, love them! Read 8 per 10gal, would like more! But don’t want to over load tank! Also have 3 mystery snails in there!
Great video idea. Can't wait for your video 75-gallon tank ideas (hopefully)
dwarf rainbows are super cute!
The Pseudomugil luminatus is a beautiful fish, great suggestions for a 10 gal tank.
i have a 10 gallon, and ive put some ghost shrimp, a pair of amano, and a trio of guppys, in a planted, dirt/sand bottom. but i have a question, how do i safely clean out the ah, waste, off the sand? my set up isnt fantastic, but its been a fun few months!
Can you do stocking ideas for a 55 gallon?
Possibly in the future. There are so many options for a 55 gallon since it's a "larger" tank.
So I’m getting a 10 gallon tank soon but I’ve heard that the topfin 10 filter cartridges cost a lost to replace. I’ve also heard that I can just take those out and put in a sponge and bio rings. What should I do to keep my filter running without spending a lot of money?
Great information! All I have is a 14 inch Common Pleco and he doesn’t seem to like plants. I do but he doesn’t. Lol. I do have a 10 gallon also. Thanks for the information!
awesome ideas, was debating on doing a 20 gallon apisto tank
Crazy! I just ordered 5 luminatus rainbows last night for my 10gal. I have a piece of mopani wood, some annubias, java fern windelov, crypt parva and dwarf chain sword for my scape. Can't decide between pygmy Corys or blue velvet shrimp for my clean-up crew. I have eco-complete for substrate, will that be to jagged for the Corys?
We have found the luminatus will dive bomb shrimp in a 10 gallon at the store. A 20g might work or lots of plants.
Aquarium Co-Op thanks for the tip! Have you kept Corys with eco complete? Is it to sharp for them?
I’ve got 2 tanks of those platinum cobra fire tail guppies. They are awesome.
My girlfriend wants a 10 gallon tank with a betta, khuli loaches and runny nose tetras. Any recommendations on plants for them or if that group of fish would be okay together? And how many of the tetras would be good for a 10 gallon tank? I was thinking about 6.
Separate thought: aquarium co-op videos are like crack you watch one then I get drawn into this wormhole of Cory’s face and my girlfriend always laughs at me because every time she looks at me she sees Cory. Love the videos always learning new things from this channel 🤓🤓
Did not realize the Apistogrammas came in so many colors, going to have to get some others
Awesome
great ideas & info on what to do with a 10 gal, I have 4 of them so you just gave me LOTS of Ideas thank you :>}
I love these teaching videos, i always learn something.
Do guppy’s get along with silver hatchetfish? I was given a 10 gallon tank w 2 hatchetfish in it.. I’m told I need like 4 more for they are happy but really want to get some colorful fish in there and ones that don’t hang out at the top of the tank so much.
