I love your video. Just the right amount of information is given and easy to understand. I've been keeping cold water fish for a couple of years and didn't realise that there are so many different ones to choose from. Right, water change, few more plants - then fish shopping tomorrow ... Thank you.
I was skeptical about a list type video however this was a pretty nice video, thanks. I don't know all the fish however the majority of them gave accurate information. Some pictures were incorrect however, even after youve done you're research to find the correct species for your tank, you'll likely never find that your fish looks the same as the photo. As with all pets though, do more research before you make your decision. Fish can get surprisingly complex in the variety of their needs and what can change in the water parameters. Also plants, lots of plants. Doesn't have to be fancy, its great for the tank and still beautiful to look at
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I'm glad you found the video helpful despite some skepticism initially. You’re absolutely right-fishkeeping involves much more than just picking a species; there’s so much to consider with their unique needs, water parameters, and compatibility. Plants truly make a difference, both for the tank’s health and its beauty! Your advice to research thoroughly before adding any fish is spot on-it ensures happier, healthier fish. 😊 What’s your favorite coldwater species from the list?
Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I apologize for the mistake. It's important to accurately identify species of fish to ensure that we provide the correct care information. Giant Danios (Danio malabaricus) are indeed a different species from Zebra Danios (Danio rerio) and have slightly different care requirements, so it's great that you pointed this out. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and for your support!
I live in Las Vegas and have a 1000-gallon pond in my yard. I went to a nursery that sells plants for ponds and a decent sized tub with plants was also teaming with Blue Tail Killifish. They didnt know how the fish got there but suspected the plants had eggs already attached. Thery were nice enough to scope out 25 of these fish and give them to me at no charge! They are thriving in my pond and even hatching fry which is pretty exciting! My question to you or anyone out there is: Will my Killifish survive the cold Las Vegas winter? the temps in LV during Dec-Feb can get as low as 50 degrees and 36 degrees over night. I would hate to lose these little guys as I have become somewhat attached to them!
It's wonderful to hear about your thriving pond and the unexpected addition of Blue Tail Killifish! Killifish are generally hardy, but the temperature drop you mentioned could pose a challenge. To increase their chances of surviving the colder months, consider providing some form of heating or insulation for the pond. Additionally, creating a warmer area within the pond, like using a heater or aeration system, can help protect them. You could also research local resources or forums for advice from others in your region who have experience with keeping Killifish during winter. Best of luck, and I hope your little fish continue to thrive!
🐠🌟 You're absolutely right! Paradise fish are often underrated in the aquarium hobby. These vibrant and stunning fish have a rich history and captivating behavior. Their beautiful colors and flowing fins make them a sight to behold. Paradise fish also have unique personalities and can display interesting territorial and courtship behaviors. It's wonderful that you appreciate their beauty and value. By sharing videos and information about paradise fish, we can help raise awareness and give them the recognition they deserve. Keep showcasing their splendor, and let's spread the word about these amazing fish! 🌈🐠👍
I wonder if the temp ranges are off a little. I know several people who keep koi in outside water features-mini ponds to 48” deep, over winter in Chicago. They stop feeding them around the first freeze and start back up a couple weeks after the ponds unfreeze. They’ve had them for years.
Koi are hardy fish that can withstand winter temperatures, but the temperature range should still be within the recommended range to ensure their health and survival. In general, koi can tolerate water temperatures between 45-75°F, but it's best to maintain a temperature range of 50-65°F. If the temperature drops below 40°F, it can cause stress and even death for the koi. Maintaining a consistent temperature is important, as fluctuations in temperature can also cause stress for the fish.
@@AquaWorldInfo Could this be because of the breeding, and not natural selection. Japan gets really cold in the winter, and the Koi survive well enough in deeper waters, even when freezing hard. I guess this is a temp range that has been introduced within the industry to assist those in warmer parts of the world (and because of the breeding in mass to supply that need).
@user-ns2kq6su6d Thank you for pointing that out. Indeed, Koi, Goldfish, and Minnows are quite resilient and can tolerate a broad range of temperatures. This adaptability makes them popular choices for outdoor ponds and aquariums where temperature fluctuations are common.
Thank you for sharing that interesting piece of information about the term 'Killifish.' It's always fascinating to learn more about the origins of common names in the fishkeeping hobby. It's great to know that 'Killifish' is related to streams and rivers. Nature's influences on language are truly remarkable!
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll definitely consider making another video about mixing coldwater fish species in aquariums. Mixing compatible species is crucial to ensure a harmonious and thriving tank environment. Stay tuned for more content on this topic! If you have any specific fish combinations you'd like me to cover, feel free to let me know.
@@AquaWorldInfo I'm also interested in what fish can mix. I have two goldfish in an unheated, 55-gallon tank. One of the goldfish is 19 years old. I'd like to add a few more fish, and want to know whether I should just stick with goldfish or whether I can add another species.
just got a cold water setup, i live in the u.k and only have 1 goldfish and a small butterfly plec at the moment, can anyone suggest some more fish i could add with these? oh i dont have a heater either Thanks
It's great you're expanding your tank! Given the lack of a heater and the cold-water setup, you could consider adding other cold-water fish like White Cloud Mountain minnows, Rosy Red minnows, or Weather Loaches. Just be mindful of the compatibility and size requirements for each fish species. Always ensure they can coexist peacefully and comfortably in your tank.
Thank you for your feedback! You are correct; the picture is of a giant danio, not a zebra danio. However, you are right that the idea remains the same-all danio species, including the zebra danio, generally thrive in colder water conditions. It's essential to provide the right environment to keep these cold-water fish healthy and happy in their tanks.
Since we know that the Goldfish and White Clouds on this list can survive in a frozen pond, does that mean we can just drop the temperature for everything else by 20° that you listed.
While goldfish and white clouds are known for their cold tolerance and ability to survive in frozen ponds, it's essential to approach lowering the temperature for other fish species with caution. Dropping the temperature abruptly by 20 degrees Celsius for fish not adapted to colder temperatures could stress or even harm them. It's crucial to research the specific temperature requirements and cold tolerance of each fish species you have in your aquarium before making any adjustments. Additionally, sudden temperature changes can disrupt the balance of your tank and affect the health of your fish. Always make gradual adjustments and monitor the behavior and well-being of your fish closely.
@@AquaWorldInfo thank you good information. The temperature in ponds upwards of 2000 gal seems to drop more gradually even when the outside temperature changes abruptly. I'm thinking that gives the fish time to acclimate.
I'm sorry to hear that you had a difficult experience keeping Hillstream Loaches. They are indeed a sensitive species and require specific care to thrive. It's important to provide them with a suitable environment that mimics their natural habitat, including clean and oxygenated water, plenty of hiding places, and a current that mimics a stream or river. It's also important to avoid overfeeding them and to maintain stable water parameters. If you're interested in keeping Hillstream Loaches again in the future, I would recommend doing more research and consulting with experienced aquarists to ensure that you have the proper setup and care knowledge before getting another one. Best of luck with your future fishkeeping endeavors!
Pygmy sunfish and goldfish aren’t the best tank mates. Goldfish prefer cooler water and tend to be quite messy, while pygmy sunfish thrive in warmer, cleaner, and more planted environments. Goldfish might also outcompete the pygmy sunfish for food and could even accidentally harm them due to their size difference. If you’re considering tank mates for your goldfish, look for species with similar temperature and care requirements. 😊
I'm sorry to hear about your Panda Corydoras. Sudden fish deaths can be due to various factors, including water quality, temperature fluctuations, disease, or stress. It's essential to regularly test your water parameters, maintain good water quality, and provide proper care to ensure the well-being of your fish. If you have any specific concerns or questions, feel free to ask for advice or share more details.
When this term " cold " is used in the hobby it means without a heater. There are lots of tropical fish that can manage sub-tropical temperatures which can be usually between 14- 16-18 degrees. But, you have to consider whats best for the fish also, just because it can survive in a temperature doesn't actually mean you'll see the best attributes in the fish too. I've kept lots of so called tropical fish in cool temps with no issues. Some fish wont color up in low temps and may not even breed in cool temps, you have to know your fish.
I have tried to collect the information of as many fishes as possible. But your suggestion is also good, I will definitely think about it next time. Thank you 🙂
