As a pond guy, I just wanna watch chris do a pond review.
I inherited pond responsibilities at my apt and had some pretty healthy coi for 2 years until another neighbor moved in, thought he was helping out and I woke up one day to a hose left in the pond overflowing and all the fish dead.
@@shize9ine ah yes the just add Water to your noodles method
Ponds have an inferiority that you cannot see the side view of the fish but yeah we have to agree that monster fishes like koi, alligator gar, arapaima can never be kept in a fish tank.
I'd watch that for sure
You spelled his name wrong, it’s ‘Chris’
Got my 5th tank for Christmas! I’m 15 and love the hobby. Water change every Sunday, water tests on Fridays. I have autism and this is my special interest which I love cuz it means my fish are well taken care of since I’m soooo in to the science and love doing maintenance. New tank is a 10g, White sand with Fluvial stratum under it, drift wood (spider wood), real rock, lots of annubius and other plants. Once cycled it will be for a pea puffer!
Just a heads up, Pea Puffers school in hundreds in the wild so a school of at least 6 will be much better than just one.
@@peopeo1.0 hmmmm. Thx for the tip. I’ve talked to the owner of my local fish store and he was saying since they can be aggressive it’s better/more successful to have just 1. With the research I’ve done this seems to be true. Thx I will do more research and find how to best take care of this beautiful species!
I don’t have them myself, but I was considering setting up a tank with some at one point. They are extremely territorial and while they are social, people have kept them happy as a single fish in a larger planted tank.
@@GirlWithFish This is exactly what I read. I plan on having lots of tall thick plants as well as lots of driftwood and rock covered in annubies. Lots of hiding spots with all the wood and rock:)
@@ava276 agreed with just one. Had 3 and one came out on top in a 10 gallon. Might work as a school in a bigger tank but haven't tried it (: love that you're enjoying the hobbie. So much to learn and so satisfying
Your videos are the only videos where i don't check how much longer is left, but when it is over, i am depressed
aww :( always next week!!
" *I can't even trust you to keep bacteria alive* "
SHOOT DANG that's a 3rd degree EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
the background plant in the “count the problems” tank is a dracaena houseplant which will grow emersed but definitely not submerged! It’s a common houseplant Chris you should add it to your collection, very easy to care for
LMAO, that's what I thought it was, but then I was like "naaaawh, who'd do something that stupid...?"
Chris, I heard you once said while building Tamagos tank I heard you once say:"Imagine if somebody got a 125 gallon tank and put plants and only neon tetras" or something like that. Well Chris I thought: "Hmm that is a good idea for a 100 gallon tank. But, instead of neons I put lambchop rasboras(yeah I think the names for rasboras are ussually lame)". So after weeks, I finally did it.
Lamb chop rasboras are probably my favorite schooling fish (with the possible exception of white cloud minnows). I've never seen any aggression from them, they school tightly, they're easy enough to find without being overplayed, and the color is hard to beat. The bright shimmering orange really pops against a tank full of green plants.
How many did you get in there? I bet they're really stunning in a big group in a big planted tank.
Can you post this on the subreddit? I think i and many others would love to see it
@@xtraskillptcg5292 I would like it, but since it has been set up for only 3 days. But also, my tank has probably the best lookin hardscape I ever saw. Since its quite tall, my dad glued some rocks on the back of the tank and it looks amazing. So yea, if you guys want it, I would be happy to deliver.
@@drewzero1 I put a bigg group. Around 50-ish.
@@Just_A_Guy_From_Serbia Awesome! 😍
Happy holidays everyone!!
My favourite thing about Christmas is time spent with family
happy holidays!
Kind of like my lasagna. I always called it a heart attack waiting to happen, with a tub of cottage cheese, half a 900g brick of mozzarella, half a brick of old cheddar, and parmesan to serve 8
Years and years ago when I was new I had a gold comet in a 40 with pothos. Damn did that pothos grow thick. The vines coming out of the tank were about half an inch in circumference and the leaves were huge
My dad was of the belief that a 10 galon aquarium was too big for my betta. He got some tankmates for him when I was busy with work.
Now I need to save up for a second aquarium for those fish, because my betta is extremely annoyed
Make him buy a tank for HIS new pets, and that he can't keep them in yours
This video has reminded me that its Monday, not Sunday, and that i need to put my bins out. Only way to tell the day of the week is via RUclips uploaders sometimes.
yes xD indeed
my fav is when xmas is over! not to be a grinch... i love it, i just work myself to death making things for gifts and am so stressed and tired by the time its here. relaxing at home AFTER its all done is my fav.
Watching holiday movies with my daughters has to be my favorite thing about Christmas
My favorite thing about Christmas is there is always board games and/or science depending on what children got for Christmas. I buy them science kits so I can do them too!
Ahahaha that last one. I knew anubias and crypts didn’t grow super fast, but they should’ve at least sprouted one new leaf in six months. Turns out my gold barbs were eating all my new growth and the softer leaves as well. My LFS got a free school of them one day, lol. I’ve had those plants longer than I had those fish and pretty much any other fish come to think of it 🤔
Friend: I think I wanna get fish
Me: bombards them with information about taking care of a fish until they don't know what a fish is anymore
Me: ends up making the tank for them anyway
Now this is relatable AF. I've been thinking about gifting some of my guppy stock. Then think, if anyone is interested they must be willing to listen to me basically give them a 30 min to a hour detailed talk about what they need to properly house them along with water care, illness info, quarantine info... Do they want a single sex tank and are they prepared in the event they want to breed.
@@ItsLaurenE just tell them to search it up and show them prime time aquatics
@@cleetusmacdonald that too. I tell people make google and RUclips your best friends, rely on multiple sources and look for those that are professional based, or at least advice seen repeatedly with pics, videos or examples. Also be sure not to believe everything you read and to remember what works for some may not for them. Trial and error has to play a roll. Sadly many people want their hands held and don't look things up they just want answers.
@@ItsLaurenE yeah
My favorite thing about Christmas is how happy my mom is, we also got our first Christmas goose yesterday because I raised us one!
yay!!
I don’t feel like buying a super big tank but when I grow up I want to and just make it awesome
My favourite thing about Christmas is being woken up by my excited son to open presents...
...at 5am.
Christmas is a long day. 🎄
dang yeah sounds like it xD
the idea that these pet keeping is kind of a conservation effort is why i like to get the live bearings that are hard to find at least breed them once.
awesome!
Presents are my favourite. I enjoy giving and receiving gifts. I also like to make custom gifts such as paintings, as an artist.
aw :) gift giving is fun and rewarding for sure
9:19 ahhh, hearing that kerning city BGM from maplestory hit me with nostalgia i wasn’t ready for 😭♥️ great video chris!!!!
I've had mollies for years and aside from grazing on algae they leave my plants alone. My banjo cats and pagoda snails, on the other hand, really like to rearrange anything that's in their way.
So I was watching one of your old videos, and noticed the tank in the background on the right. And wow! It has really changed over the months (in a good way).
Fav thing about Christmas is new fish stuff and family time
This is where my frogbit would flourishhhh
IFFFFF
My snail didn’t help himself to an Allll You Can Eat Buffet all the darn time😭😭😭
Tbh the bar for good fishkeeping is set so low. Like at this point if you don't put your betta in saltwater it's a miracle
yeah that's crazy xD
What I like the most about Christmas is it being over.
Interestingly, when I see videos of professional aquaponic systems, the fish are usually enormous salmon or similarly sized monsters that are crammed into a tank far too small to keep them healthy long term, albeit in a much larger overall water system. However, they are usually using food grade fish which they remove, sell and replace after a couple weeks.
that's definitely better
My fav thing about christmas... Seeing my kids smiles
My favorite thing about Christmas is, well we don’t really celebrate Christmas so yea idk but… it would be spending time with family specially with my cousins.
family time is nice!
My fav thing about Christmas is making scarves for my friends and family. I can arm-knit a scarf in about 20 mins so I don't get stressed over time constraints. My biggest problem is picking out the yarn LOL
I’m gonna be getting my first corydoras within the next two days! I’m so exited
Congratulations!! :DDD
I love my Corys!! They are so fun. Just a heads up tho...I started with 6 about 3 years ago and now have about 25!! They breed fast so u might wanna make sure u get all the same sex or have a big enough tank for when they multiply😂 Hope u enjoy yours as much as I do!
yay!!! first time cory owner is very exciting times!
@@SickBoiRENegade wow!!
*cory gang music intensifies*
I do not understand how a creature that eats almost exclusively FRUIT can have SO MANY GIANT SHITS. Cresties are an enigma.
Happy Holidays, Chris! Is getting together with family & friends! 🙂
Happy Holidays!
@@FishForThought Thanks!🙂
I was sick as a dog on Xmas and Monday so I am just now watching this and I'm so happy.
Happy holidays and see you next year Chris 🫡
2am on a tuesday morning and freshly posted FTR keeps me going
lol this comment somewhat freaked me out and I had to double check my calendar. I forgot for a second timezones are a thing.
aha xD
6:00 those plants in the background (if they are real) are semiaquatic and will drown when fully submerged. They are similar to indoor bamboo but variegated.
Pretty Pumped I joined a local fish club! St.Catharines and Area Aquarium Society. I got some black bar endlers from the auction!!!
awesome!!!! that sounds so lovely :)
QOTW: I love that free time with my family (also I have more time for my animals), christmas tree decorated with glass ornaments, all the food (I am from Czechia - I enjoy our traditional fasting/christmas eve dish - fried carp) and festive mood. :-) And in my country we spend a lot of time on Christmas by watching fairy tales. I like that too.
Me: Setting up a 30 gallon planted aquarium for a betta and cory catfish asking myself if Chris would approve or not.
Ohnoooo -- We have Mollies also refusing to let our grass grow out ! How do we fix this ? We only have a ten gallon set up as halfway, but the mollies are in a 20gal long !
My favorite thing about xmas is the moss named after it.
aw :)
My crayfish had a tug of war on a dying plant stem
Merry Christmas to you and to you all, though I am late.
QOTW: best thing about Christmas is food. Though where I live there are Christmas songs and a couple of interesting traditional refrains or "ritournelles " added. That music sure is groovy.
ah yes the food is great
i keep a few fish but still my favourite part of christmas was eating salmon, next QOTW should be do keep and eat fish
This really is my favorite monday show. Thanks Chris
ty so much!! rly glad u enjoy it :)
So chirs
Couple weeks ago i got myself a pair of neon acaras
For my 55g
These things are so sweet
They follow me as i walk about the tank
And they even eat out of my hands
Slightly nipping it if i don't have food in it
Really
Among the cutest fish species i have had
Would recommend 5/5
that is awesome :) I've known acaras to be super personable but this is great to hear
First time I've seen a 5/5, and it didn't even have fish in it 😂
At first I thought that Repashi was dead, then he moved.
repashy walks the fine line of life and death
My CPDs are laying 80 - 100 eggs every 3 days I got my first load on christmas morning. Nice little treat to hatch out!
My favorite thing about Christmas is when it's over. 😛
so freakin awesome
I just ordered a 16 gallon waterbox for my 2 blue dwarf gourami. I can't wait to plant it
I like the food and presents during Christmas. Just ordered some live cultures recently so I'm excited for them. 😊
I have axolotls, and it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that those derps are critically endangered in the wild. What surprises me is that they lasted as long as they did. I adore my lotls, but they're really not an animal designed for survival.
Transparent acrylic box makes tank smaller
My favorite thing about Christmas is sleeping
I've got a 40g planted with a 20g bucket underneath filled with several submerged filters, lava rock, heater, lighting, lots of pothos and using it to grow out stem plants. Does my 20g bucket quality as a sump? Also guys I designed and 3d printed my overflow, tube extensions and such and let me tell you 2$ of material vs 60-100$ to order one.
I'm no expert but that sure sounds like a sump to me
Chris: hydrocotyle
The captions since my computer speaker's broken: hydrocado
Also: danio --> daniel, corydoras --> corridors, school --> skull, ??? (fish name) --> programming, fish --> fist
And yet it still got 'chunktastic' (8:55) correct somehow
Giving my friends gifts. My favorite part
went to a local zoo with mostly crocodiles they had tons of cool fish in the various enclosures like
mbuna and synodontis
buttikoferi tilapia, tinfoil barbs and lemon fin barbs
and endlers, guppies, bristlenoses and some huge neon tetras
Main host Repashy looking extra glorious today!
I got a fish for thought hoodie for Christmas!!! Woot woot!!!!! I am super happy.
YOOOO good job!!!
ayyy!! hope you enjoy!
@@FishForThought it fits perfectly and it is black so don’t really have to worry about my clumsy self staining it! Thank you for the merch ❤️
qotw: my favorite part of xmas is when it's over
Lmao 🤣 " I can't even trust you to keep bacteria alive"
Me: *thinking my fish wants to die.* My fish having a 30 gallon heated, filtered and planted tank: 🐠
xD we can never know
@@FishForThought It's a betta fish lol, lil boy is spoiled
I have never submitted a tank and don’t know if I ever will but I STILL design my tank so that I won’t get roasted on FTR.
Happy New Year 🎉
QOTW: My favourite thing about Christmas? First is time with family. Second favourite is picking out or making things to give people
Thank you once more for making Monday the best day of the week!
"Whomst is he?" I saw that chonker SAE and my immediate thought was "Did they take this picture at my local pet store!?" because someone dropped off a monster SAE like that some months ago at my local fish/reptile shop and I IMMEDIATELY snatched her up! Except, mine looks even BIGGER than that one! Last I measured, mine was pushing seven inches now and THICCCCCC. Thicker than that SAE, even! Somehow she is a master at hiding though, and I rarely ever see her among all the plants in my aquarium. ....Until I put a treat in there for the shrimp, and then her piggy ass comes out like the eldritch beast she is and goes whole hog eating all the delicious shrimp food LOL. They rarely ever get a bite once Big Bertha smells that Ultra Supple.
We need you to post this to the subreddit
We need some fish for thought betta fish freestyles
xD
I don't even think my 36 gallon is enough for my 6 neon tetras, they're way happier than their first tank I had them in, but still no breeding. You can tell they're THRIVING with all the swimming space though. (They were in a 10 gal before)
best mindset a fishkeeper should have!
@@FishForThought calling 6 neons in a 36 gallon thriving is a bad mindset
@@peopeo1.0 agreed
@@peopeo1.0 why? 36g is more then enough for 6 neons. Do you mean it should be a bigger school? I agree, with that much space it would be good!……..
@@ava276 Assuming it's a species only tank as they seem to want breeding, they should at least add around 20-30 neons.
so glad your crested gecko is doing well, my cat broke into mine’s cage (i put aluminum foil on top to keep them off but orange cats gonna do orange cat things) and he messed my crested up a little bit. i’m hoping he’ll pull through, seems to be doing ok about a week later, but i’m upset that he dropped his tail after having him for about 10 years. he has some scratches and a tiny prolapse coming from his cloaca, i’ll give him another week or two to see if he improves and if not i’ll be forced to euthanize him
You… only left a barrier of aluminum foil between a cat and a gecko?????? Straight up asking for it
Great imagination and sensitivity
thx!
Beginner: oh no my fish tank is dirty!
Fish tank keeper: fish tanks get dirty?
Waiting on some new amanos and floating plants to come in and super hype! Can't wait to watch everything grow!
And my favorite thing about Christmas is spending time with loved ones. This year was different since mom got sick so I didn't get to see my family. My boyfriend invited me for dinner with his family and it was so great! I got to try beef Wellington for the first time (absolutely 🔥🔥🔥), played bingo and won a blanket, and we played something called wonderball/doubles. The game is pretty much where you have to open a ball made of Saran wrap and it's loaded with prizes, you have to open it with oven mitts or gloves on as fast as you can to get prizes, the person next to you has to roll a pair of dice and get doubles as fast as they can and you keep going until they get doubles and pass it to them. It really helped me get into the spirit after feeling sad about not seeing my own family.
Chris, can a female betta and neon tetras live in a 10gal without any issues?
Yes, I've done it before
*EMERGENCY!!!* i and my sister own two betta fish, a male dumbo and female koi. They both live in 3.5 gallon filtered tanks. I live in the southeast so even tho didn't yet have a heater our climate i thought was ideal. Recently there was a MASSIVE temprature drop so i decided to move the fish on our bathroom counter in two tuperwares next to a space heater. Today i walked into our bathroom and our floor was *wet.* so i go over and realize MY DUMBO'S TUPERWARE IS KNOCKED OVER. turns out my cat got to the fish and decided to strike and... You know, do what cats do. After an *extremely* frantic search i found my beloved dumbo on the floor completely still. I rushed him to his tank and while he is still mobile, he's extremely slow and lethargic (if i jad to guess, from shock), he has massive tears in his fins, visible wounds on his body though i dont think anything too deep for what it's worth, and i suspect at least one of his eyes were severely injured because he really doesnt seem to be aware of his surroundings. It's been around 15 minutes and i've set up a .5 gallon hospital tank with manually regulated water tempratures, one milliliter of stress coat, and 1/4 a teaspoon of aquarium salt. I am still a complete newbie in fishkeeping and although i have done research i have absolutely *no idea what i'm doing* 😭😭😭. I'm hoping to get some methelyne blue tomorrow, along with an actual tank heater and a bigger, at least 2 gallon hospital tank. PLEASE someone guide me i really don't want to lose my beloved smack!!!!
I think you should check an actual fish-keeping forum, there should be plenty of discussion forums with people that had the same thing happen and with advice given in there. I don’t think this is the best place to be asking for serious medical advice for your fish since Chris is not in any way medically trained and has not indicated himself to be experienced in being able to help with these situations.
@@peggedyourdad9560 i was really just spamming this comment on the most recent aquarium videos i could find and while i wouldn't think chris himself would help me, since he's pretty popular i figured someone else here could. Ill probably check one of the forums out
@@patricia6081 Eh, I think you should’ve spent that time just searching your issue on google and seeing what comes up. That’s typically how you find the discussions. Just search “fish attacked by cat” or something.
@@peggedyourdad9560 i actually had, Maybe my search platform isn't any good but i didnt find anything but curing fish diseases or something completely unrelated :/
Honestly no one can really help you 100% because each situation like this is entirely different. It depends partially on how long the fish was out of water and if the wounds get infected. You can do some prophylactic treatments for common bacterial agents if you think that’s helpful but they also may just end of stressing the fish more in the acute timeframe. He needs, as you said, a proper heater and a tank alone - do not put him with the other fish for now.
Where can I send you a video of my 6 gallon cube? It’s one of my first “true” aqua-scape and I wanna show you because I feel like you’d like it. I’ve been watching for a while but I just now subbed😂
Mm.. last time I did a water change the waterhose leading new water into the tank exploded.. water everywhere. I'm not terrified to do the next waterchange..
Hanging out with my fish and family
@Fishthought cool
@Fishthought can't wait to see what next
With the 1st one it looked more like a 10 gallon and 100% definitely had a hard-core filtration system going on there was too many fancies in their but he could probably do 1 fancy in they're arguably it wouldn't be the best space why's but personally I'd do alot of guppies with a breeding trio of bristlenose personally
I have a 33 gallon long. It’s 4 ft wide and I LOVE the tank. Unfortunately as I am reaching the end of my degree, I cannot maintain it anymore and I made the hard decision in moving most of my plants into a 10 gallon. That also meant I had to move the fish, 4 ember tetras, 5 khuli loaches, two neon tetras, and a single red eye tetra. If you’re asking why such weird numbers… many of my fish died when I neglected my tank. This is the main reason why I decided to downsize. I’m tempted to get rid of all the fish and just put a beta in there but I don’t know how to surrender my fish and I wish I had more time to maintain my big tank🥲
I enjoyed this video so much I pressed the Like button twice
So favorite thing of Christmas is just having my school break lol
Also I just wanted to comment that I have two common goldfish, I’ve had them for almost a year now, they’re in a 20 gallon - v - I would love to relocate them since they’re growing quite big also I would NOT have gotten them AT ALL if not for them being rescues from a left over science experiment of one of my previous biology classes. I seriously do not like having them in the 20 gall, but I live in an apartment and I’m still in high school (plus the apartment I live is really small) and my mom is adamant to not allow me to get another bigger tank. My cousin was gonna take them once they got bigger but my aunt and uncle got divorced so, it’s not really an option (he was building like an actual p o n d, but yea :v) The goldie’s tank is empty except for some substrate and a couple plants, and I do water changes as often as I can, hopefully I’ll be able to build myself a nice outdoor tank soon (I have a very small backyard) without to much trouble from my mom cuz my goldfish seriously need an upgrade :,,) and if I do I’d love to get a betta or my tank be filled with guppies or some other type of schooling fish with tons of plants :3
Good job Chris
Not gonna lie, you had me when you said this is the last ftr...
xD
My Monday just got much better when I saw you uploaded! Also, any good tips on lowering the ph in my tank water? I live in a high ph area..
almond leaves and alder cones! peat moss for some extreme decrease
@@FishForThought thanks!
2:51 EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
Goldfish are actually one of the best for aquaponics and growing plants in water.
Hey Chris, I just got my fish today in my 29 gallon freshwater. I got 11 neon tetras and four mollies. One of my female mollies is hiding from everything. Do you know why?
Make sure the males aren’t bothering her and make sure you have more females than males, otherwise they will chase her to death and she will hide from them
I wanna wish you a Merry Chirsmas!
This is a great video! I was at my neighbour's house for a Christmas dinner and heard their kid talking about his betta fish and I really wanted to see it. I didn't want to bother anyone at first which was why I walked around trying to find the fish tank. After 7 minutes of searching I finally found the fish in this small fish bowl on a shelf with a plastic plant in it. I'm not a fish owner but the bowl literally looked like something my mom would put her flowers in and probably wasn't the best for the fish. I'm getting a fish soon but my mom only got a 2 gallon tank. What fish should I get for that tank?
Get some nice plants and shrimp/snails, that's like the only thing you can do.
@@xtraskillptcg5292 Thanks! That still sounds really nice to me.
It is almost ep 200 🎉
ikr!!!
I see all these pretty tanks and look at my overgrown jungle mess...
My fish tank has perfect parameters, but my fish are dying, and I can't find any reason why. Do you have any ideas? It's a 20 gallon with ember tetra, there was but now there are only 4.
@Fishthought HOLY SMOKES!!! Can't believe you are fake
I watched a video on New Caledonia, and I was surprised and disappointed. After researching Leachies, gargoyles, and creaties, I had this image of their home that was mossy and thick, like Madagascar or Papua-New Guinea. Well, it’s not. New Caledonia is kind of sandy, sparse, and brambly…lots of dry wood piles and tall, dry grass. Not at all what I pictured!
Merry Christmas Chirs!
Best thing about Xmas is all of the chocolate. Errr'y day!
One of my fish is bullying the other fishes, what can I do, I only have 1 fish tank so I can't separate them
5:30 I don't think it's that easy to just do. Especially if that person is financially dependant on their father and cannot buy their own stuff.
I don’t understand people who get animals knowing they can’t provide for it and that their parents aren’t willing to help, it just seems short-sighted. I think this person should find someone else who can properly house and care for the fish and should wait until they have an independent income before getting anything else.
