Thanks! I only waited 4 days after getting my new 10 gallon that came with the filter. They all died within a few hours. I’m gonna try waiting another week and then try again and also use the conditioner. Thanks!
Friend put 2 little guppies to get the tank to cycle and make bacteria I use prime from sea chem to take chlorine out of water and stability from seachem that will build good bacteria in filter . Good luck friend I’m sorry about your fishisis :(
I learned so much from your video. I wish someone had told me about waiting at least a week before adding the fish. I kept being told to bring water samples to the fish store to test and they kept telling me to come back in a few days. I gave up on the glo fish for awhile but after seeking your video I will try again. Thanks
You and your vidios are so underraded you deserve much more credit then you recive I love your vidios they educate so manny people and me too I'm getting fish this Friday and am really nurvace that I'm going to mess things up and your vidios give me not just facts but Convadince thanks so much
Zeek's House links are still not in the description... but helpful video. We just got two little glowfish for my kids. This new adventure makes me nervous, but hopefully they do ok.
Great video! Thanks so much! If I get a 5 gallon tank, how much glowfish can I have? Can I mix the 3 varieties of glowfish? Do I have to buy a more powerful filter than the one it comes with? How often you buy new filter pads? How do I measure water parameters and is there like a kit for it? Sorry, I'm just so curious.
Umm I’d probably not put any glofish in a 5 gallon. Because they’re a schooling fish. The smallest I would go is probably a 10gallon to be honest with you. Also there are now long finned and short finned tetra, tiger barb, the danios, and the catfish that they’re calling sharks. I probably wouldn’t mix any of those together. The filter that comes with the glofish kit is the whisper. It is a good filter but doesn’t really get the water moving. I opted to keep the whisper filter and just add less water so when the water is filtering it has a longer drop into the fish tank. Seems to work fine. Only thing that could be annoying is if you don’t like to hear the water. I don’t purchase filters from the store I do diy filters to be more cost efficient. But most will change their filters every 1-2 months. You can check your water parameters purchasing the kit from the store which would be about $15-30 depending on the brand you get. Check your local fish stores sometimes they will check it for free. And also check your local big box pet store like PetSmart or petco sometimes they will check for you as well for free just take in a water sample. I think I answered everything for you. Enjoy your week and get that tank going!
I feel bad about my Glofish. Had em for two months no problem but my mistake was doing water changes every week getting Rid of all the water and cleaning the tank. Now I only have one Glofish left outta the 4 and am going to do my best to keep it alive doing only porcent of water change.
I just got my glofish yesterday and they were fine now my pink one is just sitting at the bottom it's a 10 gal I have a bubbler filter and heater blue light
I don’t see compatibility issues with that. Although your danios will be much more active than the tetras. Just make sure everyone is eating not just the danios and you’d probably be fine. Good luck
My grand baby have goldfish and I want to know what color are the females and males and do you leave there babies in the tank with the males and your other fishes
I have 2 glo fish i just got the other one Yesterday, one of them *the biggest* is eating well, the other one is not eating *small* its really really small if you can help me please tell me.
Lived this video. I learned so much! I want to pick up a glo fish starter kit and start this journey for my three year old twins so will go today to buy. How’s the maintenance? Every month u clean it ? I had a starter betta tank and I had two male fishes with a divider but they seem to get to each other side so now in a mission to get separate tank for them
Mama Ramos your three year olds will be so fascinated with glofish. The maintenance is pretty simple. I would say if you have only few fish then you would want to do a 10-15% water change weekly. For a tank that is heavily stocked I would bump up to about a 25-30% water change weekly. I have to admit sometimes I will get so busy that I’ve had to do water changes every other week to keep up with my own schedule and my tanks have been fine. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions please feel free to reach out
I set up my first 20 gallon and got 6 different color tetra glofish! So fun! It has 2 huge plants and a centerpiece. How many more glofish can i put in? Also why do they like hanging out more at the top?
+Fried Rice hello Rice. Sorry for the late response. To be honest I don’t have a scientific answer to why they tend to swim at the top. I’ve just always noticed my tetra were top to mid swimming fish as part of their natural behavior.
@@stephaniedawn56 the rule is inch per gallon like if a fish is 2 inches long it takes up 2 gallons of your tank like if you have a 10 gal you could have 5 2-inch fish
I just got four glo fish, they seem to be doing pretty well and I’ve done everything in this video, I’m planning on getting a beta fish, what tips do you have for me to introduce them to the other fish? I have four tetras
+Yatos. anxiety to be honest I wouldn’t recommend adding a betta into a community tank unless you’re trying to do a sorority tank which is all female battas. I was kind of forced to add my betta into this tank because my lights blew out on my betta tank. If you were wanting to do a community tank though I’d first recommend having a 15-20 gallon minimum size just so everyone has space. In order to introduce them I actually still had the cup that the betta comes in and first I acclimated the water by dripping water from my glo tank into the betta water. I did a few drips every 10mins or so. And then I have a hang on separation cup and hung it in the tank so the betta could get to the same temp. After about 20mins of that I netted the betta into the glo tank. Only net fish into your tanks. Never pour water from another tank or location into your existing setup. It will throw off the balance.
I have a Beta fish in my tank 10 gallon tank that I’m very attached to he’s not scared of me at all but the problem is I added a couple of glow fish and now when I’m close to the tank my Beta fish starts blowing up and chasing the other fish . Is there anything I can do ? and why is he fine the Beta when I’m not close to it and my Beta used to love when I’m near the tank . I have the same Beta color as yours .
So when doing a water change. The night before add color booster and water conditioning and It will be ok to add that 30 to 50% of water, without having to wait an entire week ? And also if I have to change the old filter with a new one would you suggest wetting the new filter with the dirty water or just popping the filter right in ? Thank you so much in advance !
I’m getting some glo fish soon and I’m trying to do lots of research on these fish! I do have a few questions too! How much glo fish is recommended for a 10 gallon tank?, how much of that shrimp should you feed them?, can you tell if they are female or male?, and can they mate and have baby’s? Or eggs?
+Katie Glunt It honestly depends. I usually use tap water from my sink (city water). Some pet stores sell freshwater but of course why buy when you have your own water source. Just make sure you’re using conditioners & you shouldn’t have an issue. My personal preference of water conditioner is seachem prime and seachem stability. For glofish you can honestly go to a big box pet store like Petsmart or petco. I would go to a local fish store if you have them near you otherwise PetSmart or petco will do fine for glo fish.
We just started about a week ago upgraded to a 10 gallon tank last Wednesday notice the occasionally attack each other one is actually losing his tail because of it and that they live in their glow what should I do
Are you stating you wanted to add fish to your existing stock? I would probably have a two tank setup. I would have another tank for when I purchase new fish so I can isolate the new fish for at least a week before adding to your current tank.
I bought a christmas collection, 3 glosharks, 3 snails nd only did my tank days before hand. No clue to what I was doing. 4 died like wihtin hours plus a snail. Yup i suck
Hi, so I’m getting a glofish. How often should I feed it? Should I feed it daily? This may sound dumb. But my friend has one and said that I should feed it once a week, but I’m afraid it will starve. Please reply! Ps: I’m getting it in 2-3 weeks, so I want to be prepared.
+Kaitlyn Connolly hey Kaitlyn. no question is a dumb question. People tend to feed their fish differently. My personal preference is once per day. Only because I have so many tanks & busy schedule. But sometimes I will feed twice a day. Tetras are actually opportunistic fish. So feeding 2-3 times a day kind of mimics how they are in the wild. Just remember not to feed them more than what they can eat in a minute or two that will cut down from overfeeding your fish. I would definitely feed more fish more than once per week. Hope this helps you.
I’m usually a betta owner. I have 4 bettas. I have had one for a year now and he’s still live. I recently got 6 glo fish all different colors, all tetras. One of them died, is it because I left the filter on. And they I learned so much from u
+Just Emily well. Glofish generally would have a filter. I don’t think your filter is why one died. Did you quarantine the fish before adding them into your fish tank? It’s so many factors I’m not sure what exactly could’ve caused your fish an early departure
My glo fish tank is really cloudy after I added the beneficial bacteria and also has a foul odor. My fish seem to be hitting each other and I'm not sure if that is how goldfish are because I'm new to GloFish and fish tanks. However I do have the blue light bar for them. How can I help my tetras my GloFish tetras
I just got glo fish for the first tym .one of two orange ones died within few hrs after being released in the tank..?my tank was cleaned properly and all gravels and filter were also cleaned the fish looked healthy..what might have caused it's death plz reply if u hav ny idea😊..are there any specific tips before releasing glo fish into the tank?
Is it normal for them to swim to the top? I have an air bubbler and only 2 fish in a 10gallon I had 2 before that died within 2hrs even though my water tested normal so I’m just super nervous. I’ve never had fish before I’m trying to learn as much as possible
I'm not sure why you'd need or want a complete water change. Are you sure you need to do a complete water change? If you do just know that you will get rid of all of the beneficial bacteria that's built up in the tank. I suppose if you were going to I would put the tank water in a 5-10 gallon bucket along with a filter. Then empty your tank and let it cycle again before adding your fish back into the tank
Flabbergastered Dude thanks for your response! And good for you for rescuing animals. My family has gotten two dogs from a shelter, and my husband and I adopted a puppy from a shelter about 18 months ago.
+Yeet Oof technically most people will tell you no it can’t be done. Or shouldn’t be done. Betta don’t get lonely and don’t run in schools and they’re known to be fairly aggressive and fighting fish. In this case the glofish I have are peaceful and i have a small school so the glofish look out for one another and all of the fish keep to themselves. When I added my Betta into this community tank I kept constant watch over them to keep an eye on their behaviors as far as if any of them would be nippy or aggressive to the other and somehow it ended up working for me. I honestly think it’s be chance. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
In the begenning i got liek 2 glofish and one was white it wasnt glo ig..but the otehr was like 12 dollars and so i brought it home Bc the lady said that i could take it home to same day and add onto it later..Never did research so it was just really sudden so i knew nothing i set up the tank and i put them in after letting them get used to the water properly Bc i looked it up i also set up and cleaned everything in the tank and outside of it just to be sure. a few hours later they both died so im going to try waiting about 5-6 days so i can have the water well enough. I used a water conditioner for the fish that is safe i have a 10 gal tank so it was so hard to fully clean any tips ive done tons of research. Im planning to add a frog to it...and a cleaner is there any tips would it be to crouded?
I’m on my third glow fish and it’s not looking like it’s going to survive either. Am I doing something wrong? My water is fine. It’s not the water but I can’t seem to keep a glow fish alive. I have a 5 gallon tank. Could that be it?
Madam I want to keep glow fish but in my area ambient temp go max 50 C and now a days my tank water temp is 34 C here fan not work as they throw hot air and water temp increase so I try to arrange chiller or can I keep glow in 34 or 35 C without chiller.
Depends on the personality of the fish. I initially only put the betta in my glo tank because my betta light stopped working and so did the filter. You can try it out and see if their behavior is compatible. Just keep a close eye on the fish and see what happens
Soo like on a serious note I’ve been letting my tank run with the light on for 2 years and I just now turning it off after this video should I start doing that now is it a serious thing for the fishes health
fish like to have a day and night cycle, so i would turn it on during the day and turn it off during the night. some tanks have a morning mode (white light) and a night mode (blue light)
@@nicholascantos5197 I found them sitting at the bottom of the tank and I poked them with a stick to see if they were just sleeping so then I just let them go but they just floated to the top and I got the first 2 two weeks ago and I got the newest one 3 days ago
I can't get my glofish to swim to the top for food. and most of their food floats one of the packets of food some of it sinks but they don't like that food as much as the stuff that floats. I currently have five glofish in a 20 gallon tank and they wont go to the top, any advice would be great!
How do you get rid of cloudy water? I have done a 30 percent water change and have used water clarifier in my Glofish 5.5 gallon tank and the problem still persists over a month now?
ummm smaller tanks seem to have a harder time acclimating. Did you rinse the gravel in the tank before putting it in the tank? sometimes there is dust on your new gravel
@@gatsbietheweirdo9403 3 is the bare minimum. However, you are right. You take the chance of 1 out of the 3 being a bully/agressor and fighting the other 2.
please can you let me know how to slow down the current flow on the glofish 5 gallon aquarium ? i purchased aqaurium yesterday with two mollys and set it up but i noticed molly's dont swim around and are hiding all the way in the bottom since and water filter flow is two fast and loud and whenever i put a pinch of food it just goes to bottom of tank because water current is too fast and the mollys are not eating it ? so i know they are hungry ?? :( hope you can help ?
+Jasmine.V my first thought would be that they are stressed out. Which is fairly normal for fish going into a new environment. My secondary thoughts are going to be did you let the tank cycle before adding them? And also check your water temperature. If it is stress and they aren’t eating I would blackout the tank. Keep the light off for a day then try to feed again. Also what type of food are you feeding? Quality matters. Try the blackout method leave the lights off in the tank for 24hrs then try if it doesn’t work message me and I will attempt to help you further hope this helps.
Zeek's House i already did all that! And the thing is i don’t know why but even during the day (when the aquarium’s light is off) they stay at the bottom of the tank, and i feel like they go up a little when it starts to be dark outside (they are close to a window but not under it) and as soon i open the black light they go back at the bottom of the tank... i just want my fish to swim happily like yours!

Is it normal for them to swim to the top? I have an air bubbler and only 2 fish in a 10gallon I had 2 before that died within 2hrs even though my water tested normal so I’m just super nervous. I’ve never had fish before I’m trying to learn as much as possible
Did you put bag of fish inside tank first so the temperature can even out
Can we do a complete water change?
And if so what is the preferred way to take the fish out of the tank?
I'm not sure why you'd need or want a complete water change. Are you sure you need to do a complete water change? If you do just know that you will get rid of all of the beneficial bacteria that's built up in the tank. I suppose if you were going to I would put the tank water in a 5-10 gallon bucket along with a filter. Then empty your tank and let it cycle again before adding your fish back into the tank
I want to get fish for my grandma. How hard is it to care for them?
Flabbergastered Dude thanks for your response! And good for you for rescuing animals. My family has gotten two dogs from a shelter, and my husband and I adopted a puppy from a shelter about 18 months ago.
I have 1 pleco 1 beta and 4 glow tetras and I feed the same food as you for the glow fish and tropical fish
So when changing the water, do you need to let tank cycle for 24 hours once filled?
How often do we have to change the glo fish water . I read on Google 2 times a month, is that correct, thanx
you have a beautiful glow aquarium :)
Thank you
You can put a betta with glofish?
+Yeet Oof technically most people will tell you no it can’t be done. Or shouldn’t be done. Betta don’t get lonely and don’t run in schools and they’re known to be fairly aggressive and fighting fish. In this case the glofish I have are peaceful and i have a small school so the glofish look out for one another and all of the fish keep to themselves. When I added my Betta into this community tank I kept constant watch over them to keep an eye on their behaviors as far as if any of them would be nippy or aggressive to the other and somehow it ended up working for me. I honestly think it’s be chance. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
@@zeekshouse231 Thanks for the info btw great video!
Hello! Great video! So how well does it work with the glo fish and the betta?
if your asking for a bloodbath then yes
@@aquaticturtle4688 I have had them together for a year now and they get along great. No bloodbath.
In the begenning i got liek 2 glofish and one was white it wasnt glo ig..but the otehr was like 12 dollars and so i brought it home Bc the lady said that i could take it home to same day and add onto it later..Never did research so it was just really sudden so i knew nothing i set up the tank and i put them in after letting them get used to the water properly Bc i looked it up i also set up and cleaned everything in the tank and outside of it just to be sure. a few hours later they both died so im going to try waiting about 5-6 days so i can have the water well enough. I used a water conditioner for the fish that is safe i have a 10 gal tank so it was so hard to fully clean any tips ive done tons of research. Im planning to add a frog to it...and a cleaner is there any tips would it be to crouded?
I’m on my third glow fish and it’s not looking like it’s going to survive either. Am I doing something wrong? My water is fine. It’s not the water but I can’t seem to keep a glow fish alive. I have a 5 gallon tank. Could that be it?
Madam I want to keep glow fish but in my area ambient temp go max 50 C and now a days my tank water temp is 34 C here fan not work as they throw hot air and water temp increase so I try to arrange chiller or can I keep glow in 34 or 35 C without chiller.
I know I'm late but can I add a male betta fish to my tank of 5 glofish
Edit: also hes about 2 to 3 years old
Depends on the personality of the fish. I initially only put the betta in my glo tank because my betta light stopped working and so did the filter. You can try it out and see if their behavior is compatible. Just keep a close eye on the fish and see what happens
@@zeekshouse231 ok thanks!!
Do you have to take out the fish when you do water change ?
No you do it with a tube
Beautiful ❤️
Soo like on a serious note I’ve been letting my tank run with the light on for 2 years and I just now turning it off after this video should I start doing that now is it a serious thing for the fishes health
Im new to glofish so like idkk
Haha Haha Do you need the lighting though?
@@cindysanchez548 yes
fish like to have a day and night cycle, so i would turn it on during the day and turn it off during the night. some tanks have a morning mode (white light) and a night mode (blue light)
my neon green tetra is floating at the top but is still alive so how do i treat it?
I have the same pink and purple fish
Should I leave the light on everyday
No
Beautiful tank.
Great info.
What brand of color booster you use?
Hi,
What light did you use? Is that a UV , and may I know the watt it uses?
I got 2 glofish for my first fish but they died the next day so I got anouther one and it died the next day I dont know what I'm doing wrong
How did they die , and when
@@nicholascantos5197 I found them sitting at the bottom of the tank and I poked them with a stick to see if they were just sleeping so then I just let them go but they just floated to the top and I got the first 2 two weeks ago and I got the newest one 3 days ago
Was they die as soon as they entered the tank?
Did*
@@nicholascantos5197 no it was the next morning they were dead
Thanks for these tips
What food do you feed them? Please answer me :D I'm getting one soon very excited
Watch the video and pay attention. She says it literally like a minute in.
Bruh I already got 6 of them- why reply now? :p
"I'm getting one soon very excited"
I can't get my glofish to swim to the top for food. and most of their food floats one of the packets of food some of it sinks but they don't like that food as much as the stuff that floats. I currently have five glofish in a 20 gallon tank and they wont go to the top, any advice would be great!
Can I turn off the pump and filter in the night or is that bad
Your fish will always need the circulation of water so no don’t turn off your pump at night
How do you get rid of cloudy water? I have done a 30 percent water change and have used water clarifier in my Glofish 5.5 gallon tank and the problem still persists over a month now?
ummm smaller tanks seem to have a harder time acclimating. Did you rinse the gravel in the tank before putting it in the tank? sometimes there is dust on your new gravel
Omg i think i over feed mine !! I have 2 and i feed them 3 times a day. They’re always hungry.
I have 3 and the same 3 times a day
@@rogertaylor4916 i now do 2 after i watched this video lol!!
I only feed 1 time a day and it's completely fine
@@gatsbietheweirdo9403 3 is the bare minimum. However, you are right. You take the chance of 1 out of the 3 being a bully/agressor and fighting the other 2.
please can you let me know how to slow down the current flow on the glofish 5 gallon aquarium ? i purchased aqaurium yesterday with two mollys and set it up but i noticed molly's dont swim around and are hiding all the way in the bottom since and water filter flow is two fast and loud and whenever i put a pinch of food it just goes to bottom of tank because water current is too fast and the mollys are not eating it ? so i know they are hungry ?? :( hope you can help ?
How often do you clean the tank and redo the water
Change 10% of the tank if it is filled with 4 or less fish every week, and I do full water cleans every 6 months
Is UV light necessary for glowfish ?
I don't think it's necessary...but it makes the colours really pop
Did you do the acclimation method for the fish when you got them
was there any fin nipping to the beta from the tertas?
Going on 5 years total on this setup and I think almost 3 years with the beta. No issue yet.
I got some glofish yesterday and it looks like they are not eating.... do you Know why?
+Jasmine.V my first thought would be that they are stressed out. Which is fairly normal for fish going into a new environment. My secondary thoughts are going to be did you let the tank cycle before adding them? And also check your water temperature. If it is stress and they aren’t eating I would blackout the tank. Keep the light off for a day then try to feed again. Also what type of food are you feeding? Quality matters. Try the blackout method leave the lights off in the tank for 24hrs then try if it doesn’t work message me and I will attempt to help you further hope this helps.
Zeek's House i already did all that! And the thing is i don’t know why but even during the day (when the aquarium’s light is off) they stay at the bottom of the tank, and i feel like they go up a little when it starts to be dark outside (they are close to a window but not under it) and as soon i open the black light they go back at the bottom of the tank... i just want my fish to swim happily like yours!
I tried the 24h thing and it didnt work...
So yesterday they looked so much better but this morning 2 out of 4 have died it’s so weird i don’t understand...
+Jasmine.V have you checked the water parameters?
how many glofish tetras can I have in a 3 gallon and 5 gallon tank?
Good informative video🥰🥰
What happened when the power go out and you filter stop
They should be fine for a hour or 2
You might not see this but is your betta fish a female or male
Nice tank I'm getting mine soon and I'm excited about that and thx for the tips ☺
No problem 👍
I just got a fish today and look like it’s dead but then it moves again but slowly stop moving but it’s weird
Is the water flowing in the tank?
Hi, I have a very small glofish aquarium, 1.5 g. Which glofish would you recommend and how many?
That 1.5 gallon is wayy to small and if you still get a Glo fish 1 would be perfect and if you can trade it for a 5 gallon
