9 NEW FISH - Cool & Unique Fish Unboxing!

- Cool for reasons to be seen and Unique because these fish aren't commonly kept in the aquarium hobby at large. I want to highlight how neat these fish (for those who don't already know) and eventually show how to make a nice setup for them as well.
I failed to mention in the video where I got these fish. That said, I ordered them from jonahsaquarium.com - I would highly recommend this site. The customer service was pretty good and obviously the fish came in nice and healthy. If you looking for some nice native fish, Jonah's Aquarium is an excellent resource to do so.

Cool for reasons to be seen and Unique because these fish aren't commonly kept in the aquarium hobby at large. The first unboxing was well received, so here's another. Enjoy! Also check the video description for details on where I got the goods! These fish came from jonahsaquarium.com
SerpaDesign great vid :)
SerpaDesign, thank you for sharing your awesomeness. Enjoying your videos and I appreciate your hard work. Thank you
SerpaDesign
I may have to start a tank now. Pumpkin seeds are the prettiest fish in the world IMO.
Really interesting video. Looking forward to seeing these fish mature.
Because of this video i have started keeping my natural speices found around me. I have pumpkin seeds, bluegill and green sunfish currently. I love them all so much!!
The longear sunfish in particular is an absolutely stunning fish as an adult. I can't wait to see your future updates on these kids!
You could probably start live streams for each individual tank with that lofi chillout music on. Chillout music has a decent following and adding a tank to that just makes it better. (Lophee and ChilledCow, for example)
That aggresive sun of a fish... hahaha
Loved the video, the little fishies were very cute!
I've had my wild-caught bluegill for about 5 years now and she is one of the coolest most interactive fish I've ever had. Tons of personality.
I own some Pumpkinseed sunfish myself. I've bought them last summer and they're in a tank outside in my backyard. They're really nice. Beautiful fish!
Love your channel! I've already created 3 ecosphere like projects myself thanks to your channel :)
Your work inspires me.
Thanks.
Hahaha the thumbnail gave me a laugh. Thanks!
YES OMG I'M SO HAPPY YOU GOT INTO NORTH AMERICAN NATIVE FISH KEEPING I LOOOOOVE GREENIES AND LONGEARS BOTH SO UNDERRATED!!!
I recently caught a 3 inch bluegill and put in my 29 gallon and he is doing amazingly.
I have a single green sunfish currently. He's by far my favorite fish I've ever owned! Such a big personality!
Really happy I stumbled upon this video (as I was binging your vivarium videos haha)
I love your stuff ♡
🤢
Me and all my friends keep variations of bream. We live out in the country so we get them for free and we just set up a nice little 40 gallon with some driftwood and tough plants and they live about 10 years. And then we put them in aerated buckets and we show up at one of the friends house and then we show off our fish
In 2012, I caught a green Sunfish that was nearly 12 inches long and was well over a pound. Took some pics released it, went home and checked the state record. And the state record was .99lbs. I spent the rest of the summer trying to catch that fish and get it certified for the state record, but never caught it again ;(
Your voice is so soothing and it means a lot to me because it helps settles my morning sickness
Watching a video on this channel is almost as good as getting a massage!
I also have a native tank whith punpkinseed they are so bautiful and so sweet. Good luck with them 👍
Awesome!
Sunfish, yeah... I grew up in north eastern PA in Bradford county, there was a town called Canton, about 15 minutes drive from there way up in the mountains was a fairly large pond, almost a small lake, and it's called Sunfish Pond. Maybe because they're so mean they're the only thing that survives in that pond lol. I know a lot of people go up there to swim, but sometimes you'll see people catching and releasing sunfish, but I'm not sure what kind they were.
when you said not commonly kept and almost like a cichlid I knew they were going to be centrarchids. Definitely want to keep some when I get back into the hobby.
I love how you take care of your animals
I really liked watching you feed the fish. I used to have a large aquarium but it got too much for me to care for it, due to some health issues. This brought back fond memories. I have a cute story about my tank. One time I turned up the filter to clean the water after I disturbed the gravel. I forgot and when I remembered and came back, the fish were taking turns swimming around the tank and through the fast stream of water coming out of the filter! They would go around and one at a time swim through it WEEEEE and then swim around again and wait their turn. It was amazing, they were playing! This was long ago so I don't have a video of it. I wish I did. It would be so great to see and share. The little fish were playing. It was so sweet.
It would be cool if you got some salamanders or newts.
All your projects inspired me to build my own leopard gecko rack. (Online they are also insanely expensive)
lepomis cyanellus!!! I have these all over where I live, very cool fish I kept them for years, these are what got me into the Aquarium hobby.....I like your style dude!!!✌️🐟
Just finished watching the King of DIY's video - awesome cause yours came out as I finished it!
OhDearInPubs yoooooo same here
Samee
I'm loving that anglefish tank so much!!
OhDearInPubs you should put a small bass in one of your larger tanks
OhDearInPubs same
One of the most wholesome channels on youtube :)
I used to keep sunfish, they are so underrated as an aquarium fish! I highly recommend them as an aquarium fish, easy to keep, lots of personality and very beautiful!
I LOVE you videos!!! I just started hobby keeping displaced plants, lizards, snakes, and caterpillar eggs. And releasing them back into the places I found the eggs or plants. (I work at a lot of different homes and sometimes I find the eggs and plants, in backyards, smashed or damaged, while doing yard work). Thank you so much for the terrarium help!
Green sunfish are native hear in Michigan. I have a sea wall with rocks and cinder blocks piled up on the side in the water. There was a green sunfish living in the rocks, so I decided I would train him. I would catch grasshoppers, dig up worms, and train him. Then winter came, and he left.
I’ve got a 75 gallon with a group of longears and a juvie green sunfish. Longears are definitely one of my favorite species.
I'm so jealous!! I've always wanted to keep pumpkin seed sunfish! Unfortunately I can't as they're illegal to keep where I live :( I'm so excited to see more of yours and how pretty they get!
I haven't had fish for a few years, but watching you and listening to you makes me want to get fish again :D I have 3 tanks still anyway, which I was planning to just put plants in. Maybe I'll set something up, start with some water plants, which I have never done before, and then when those cycle, I'll see if I want to venture into adding fish :D Out of all the fish I've done, stupid enough, my favourite to keep were guppies, because I got to experience taking care of fry and watching them develop their colours was just awesome, too.
Yessssss. Finally someone who keeps native north American species.
You should build a pond that circles the outside with view panels. well they grow up to look nice from this size. I would of gotten a pair of angels or discuss for 20 talls.
new subscriber, your videos are great, greetings from Chile
There are Pumpkin Seeds in a pond near me. Gorgeous colours, like dwarf gouramis.
SerpaDesign pointing out how the green ones are pretty mean and the pumpkin ones are way to small to have together with them
Me, from the future: Oh he's gonna be so excited when they get their babies together.....
Sunfish look really beautiful all grown! Best wishes with them!
In my closed terrarium it’s quite big , I’m putting charcoal on the bottom and then some dirt and I’m putting bark and greenery and springtails , do I need a mesh to separate the charcoal from the dirt ? If you could help I would appreciate it
i think i know why there was a disclaimer about releasing them in the wild... here in italy we have a lot of lakes where maybe a couple of them (pumpkin seed sunfish) were released and now about 20-15 years later they're basically everywhere
No doubt. Greens are notoriously an invasive species.
A really nice video! I am just doing a big project on the pumpkin seeds. It's a funny coincidence seeing you bought a couple of them. In Europe the sunfishes are a big problem because they are a invasive alien species, still beautyfull animals. Thanks for the video!
Future build i want to see it a butter fly garden, hermit crab ecosystem and a bonsal in a terrarium
the one exception to releasing fish in the while 😂
Love that intro
Awesome video!
Your goldfish tank is gorgeous!
awesome vid 🤙🏼
Cool fish!
Damn you didn’t need to buy these, I’ll go to the reservoir and just catch em for you lol
I love fishing for these guys! They're very lively. The pumpkinseed variety are my favorite.
I miss keeping mine the last one I had was a long ear
How do the fish survive such a long time in the bags without fresh air? I put my goldfish in a small bowl sometimes if I need to clean the tank without them in it and they are usually gasping for air after a like 15 minutes...
Toasted Fan Art its oxygen enriched.
And gold fish go to the top for air anyways i dont think its because they were in a bowl for a little bit and plus ive had gold fish in a large bowl when i was little and he lived for 3 years of course i did frequent water changes but still
bro those sunfish are founf everywere down were i live
Did I see some little bebes in the corner or the quarantine tank ?!
Love your new awesome sunfish! May I say I think the 150g will be a better long term tank for the native American fish.
As I've said elsewhere, long term it would be better and they may end up there, but I honestly think they will need something larger than the 150.
Awesome stuff man 🖒🖒
Sooo cute♥
Can your next video,be a livestream please!!!!
I would, but my internet it trash right now! Maybe when I can hook up a hard wire.
SerpaDesign ok I understand,but if you should the chance to do one make it!!!
Nice
I have 4 pet green sunfish that I raised from very small
I have some dollar sunfish. I got them breeding in my pond
Wow such beautiful fish. I learnt a lot today, thank you
Those are all large fish are you sure they wouldn't enjoy the 150 more than the community fish?
Short term it's not the best option for me, but that's likely where they will end up down the road.
Maybe this means that you will have to get another tank like a 150 or something more.
I love pumpkin seed
Nice looking fish mate, I kind of thought your reveal was going to be mudskippers, no idea why! Pretty sure all sunfish are restricted in the UK, are they more of a threw to indigenous species than gold fish?
Great un boxing new sub
I love keeping native fish! Can I ask where you got these sunfish? I'm always looking for a good native fish supplier! I'm lucky to live on Lake Erie so I have a lot of diversity as far as collecting young fish myself. But we don't have long ear or dollar sunfish this far north. Thanks and very cool room:)
I got them from jonahsaquarium.com
omg .... those fish are cheap and free .... you can catch them at rivers and lakes .... those are like throw away fishes .... i used to keep them when i was young
I thought Sun Fish were called that for the yellow coloring. Now if these are green sunfish shouldn't they be called Grass Fish or something instead?
Lol! They do actually get the yellow breast. If you see the one I used to have at 12:26 he has that characteristic.
Hey, love your videos, I tried to follow your tutorial for the realistic foam background, the "foam part" was Easy, but the silicone i used (acquarium silicone) was way more dense than what i see in your video, i couldn't spread It on all the foam area and more important the coconut fiber didn't attached in the silicone (i put the coconut fiber something like 5 minutes after the silicone), have you got any idea on how i can solve this problem?
Hmm, I never had this problem because I use GE silicone II and not aquarium silicone. You could try and salvage it by recarving the foam and then coating it with a different silicone.
Bro Kapi thank you so much, i'll look for It
You should get some trout
iv kept tons of pumkin seeds
I heard u say u were gonna turn your snake tank into a community fish tank...I didn't realize u could use a tank that had a reptile in it for fish or vice versa..I thought once a tank had been used for one thing, u couldn't switch it, cause it would harm them.
I have kept reptiles in old fish tanks and vise versa for as long as I've kept animals. They do need sanitized in between though. Also going from reptile to fish tank usually calls for a reseal.
SerpaDesign ok.. cool.. thx! I didn't know that! :-)
I subbed. You are awesome, dude!
Starting the siphon with your mouth may be the most discusting thing ever, you can get/make siphons that are easier to start and you don't have to use your mouth...
Thought you was ripping a bong at first
I hope you have a well ;) otherwise I can't imagine the water bill
In other parts of the world, aquarists do keep North American species. My guess about their unpopularity here in the U.S.: (1) wildlife regulations which vary from state to state and (2) lower temperature requirements.
Sound about right to me.
@@SerpaDesign Have you thought about branching off into native cyprinids? Many species would get along just fine with your goldfish. A half dozen golden shiners, for example, would give the tank a bright metallic contrast that you might find attractive alongside the goldfish. They're kind of big but not quite as big as goldfish.
The rosy red is a naturally occurring color morph of the fathead minnow, and I don't think they would be too hard to breed. The larger sunfish would be happy to take some of them off your hands when you get too many. I actually like the grey ones better, but both colors are nice.
Mosquito fish would also be a good feeder fish option, but they're trickier to breed in the aquarium. They're poecilids, but unlike guppies, they are ravenous about eating their young. You'd have to be watchful and separate them quickly after birth. In fact when you feed them, it looks like the water is boiling with fish, again unlike guppies. The downside is that they're horrible fin-nippers, so you couldn't keep any with the goldfish.
Just a thought.
So at what point do you quit your job and open Serpa Herps. lo
Your so smart.
Will you have to wait the years itll take them to all grow full size before you can place them all together? ☺
No probably only a few months. I will hook them up to a heater and feed them well, which will cause them to grow really fast. They tend to slow down at around 4" which should be large enough to live with the big guy.
SerpaDesign awesome! Cant wait to see the update video
do you have any plans to breed them?
Not at all. If it happens it happens, but I would rather it didn't.
I'm pretty sure sunfish and bass r part of the cichlid family
Sunfish are Centrarchidae, which are similar to Cichlid, but not the same from what I understand.
Centrarchids and cichlids have similar personality, size, and body shape. Centrarchids like cooler water than cichlids, and the breeding behavior is different. In most cichlids, both parents protect the nest and the fry. In centrarchids, it's always only the father that protects the nest and fry; he will drive the mother away. It's not a good idea to have other fish in the tank at breeding time, but the aggression level varies considerably among the cichlid species. Some cichlid species can breed successfully in a large enough community tank.
There are a fair number of sort of peaceful cichlids, but the only centrarchid I'd easily call a "community" fish is the dollar sunfish. Well, bluegills maybe, but they are the largest of the Lepomis species, and they like to be kept in groups. Bluegills take a lot of space.
Another long ass video, love it
Haha!! I went back and forth and it seems like everyone is liking the long videos these days.
I'm stupid i thought he was smoking something at first. He's just taking out the water thank God. I'm trying to understand the thumbs down because I know about fish and i don't see anything wrong.
BRO did you just siphon aquarium water with your mouth?! Then you whipped your lips like you just took a cool sip of pepsi?!
I don't drink Pepsi. 😎
Hey, dog people let their dogs lick their faces...
the silver dollar fish never seem to be very liked... i noticed it mostly when i went to an aquarium about a week ago, there was a tank with some tiger sharks and a school of those fish, along with other fish, only the silver dollars had bite marks on them... and believe me, they were horrible... one was missing a chunk of it's head.
Dang! I wonder if it's because of how shiny they are?
I knew what it was by the thumbnail
Haha too obvious? That's Tim, the green that I already had.
SerpaDesign they are a great fish , aggressive, but if raised from baby with other fish less probability of ending with a really aggressive fish.
Great vid keep it up
Ho long does a response take from them? I emailed Jonah 3 days ago and haven’t got answer yet
Hey I got a question bro it’s about using branches for vivariums that I got outside from my yard when I was doing some maintenance and I picked them up and baked them for about 20 minutes but after a day or two on the side they started to grow like this web like foamy mold I want to know if that’s normal or should i throw them out?
Also love your videos man I rewatch a lot of them to remember the little tips you always give.
sunfish is good eating xD
Never had one! What would you compare it to?
to a bass or brim they are from the same family of fish so the taste is about the same
sunnies are awesome.I have a very friendly longear who killed all of his tankmates.
If they get that big why wouldn't you put them in the 150 gal that makes more sense to me
As I've said to others, it's not the best option for me short term, but they may end up there eventually.
I need to move, most native fish are illegal to keep where I live.
Lol dude i could send you some better looking green sun fish then that catch em right outta my pond be ready because they've got a real attitude good luck!👌🐟
nice fish, just y shouldn't give them food the day they arrived, cause they are stressed and they can get parasit form it ;)
If you live in America or southern Canada, you could just catch those
I catch and eat these types of fishes where I live
they are supposed to be tasty
Nice man where you get them from
jonahsaquarium.com/
I hate goldfish but your goldfish tank is beautiful
Those are native to my area so if I got those text I could technically release them
Noah Adkins yes
Not necessarily
Highly not recommended. These were likely captive bred, and introducing isolated populations to each other can be devastating. Captive and wild fish have different immunities and carry different bacterias. It can be devastating to introduce aquarium fish to the wild, even if they are a native species. Even if you harvested them from the wild in the first place, in many states it is illegal to re-release them, or even transfer them to another body of water.
I am getting an oscar for christmas
I want to get them again eventually, but not any time soon. I have my hands full right now. Good luck with yours though!
