I am currently spending nearly thirty dollars trying to heal a six dollar gorami that could be easily replaced. This hobby does unexplained things to people.
As someone with a 20 gallon and a 15 gallon full of guppies. There is no such thing as a throw away fish. All the guppies I currently have were free born in the tank. I still cry when one dies.
My husband is not saddened at all when one of his fish dies so I have taken over his tanks and still maintain mine. When I saw his peacock gundeons looking thin in his 55 gal I knew they were getting outcompeted for food so I moved them to a nice planted 10 gallon tank with a few galaxy rasboras and they have chunked up and are thriving! I even had to move one of the guppies that was looking near death to this tank and its tail has grown back and its also getting food and thriving. Sometimes they dont have to die but just need a good recovery tank and some tlc!
@@corinnegunter3889I agree so much. I am completely changing my 10 gallon. I have pool filter sand and a bunch of water sprite and Java moss on some river rocks as well as a silk purple plant I got for the beta but he prefers the live plants. Anyways I’ve kept it up and running I just need to remove the gravel and put everything in. Then I’m putting male guppies only having my 15 gallon female only and my 20 gallon a mix guppy colony just removing fish with issues and putting them in the tank they can’t reproduce in.
@@kawaiipurplesaphire6163 and I now also have a 10 gallon. lol 6 months ago I had a girl tank and colony tank now I have girl tank boy tank and colony tank and I still love all my guppies.
I have such a soft spot in my heart for common plecos. They're honestly some of my favorite fish in the whole hobby. My dream someday is to have a MASSIVE (Like 500+ gallon) tank and have a bunch of commons. Nothing else. No centerpiece fish. Just majestic 2' long dinosaur fish that I would spoil the heck out of them. I rescued a very stunted common that someone dumped on my lfs after they outgrew their tiny 10 gallon tank. Poor baby was like 4-5 years old and barely 8". I had him for about the next decade in my 75 gallon (which I do know was still too small) and barely topped 16" by the time a disease outbreak took out most of my tank while I was away for a few days. I was utterly heartbroken.
We have sooo much in common!! My favorite fish is my Common Pleco “Percy”! I kept upsizing until I got a 125 for him. Fortunately he stopped growing at 14 1-2”. So he’s going to be here for life. I love him!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
I'm obviously shopping in the wrong places. Cardinals and neons for a dollar? I haven't seen that since the 90s! Lol And Glofish were created to help researchers fight pollution in our waterways. But happy accidents and here we are with Glofish in every store AND my aquariums because they are awesome!
My mom had a pair. They lived for over 20 years. Just passed a few months ago. The entire tank got ich from a new fish. Some survived, but the loaches did not. They were our favorite. Such personality!
Got a common pleco a few decades back before I knew better. He was so tiny and cute. After about 5 years in a 35 gallon bow front he was still cute but not so tiny. He ended up living in there longer than he should’ve. Did upgrade to a 50 gallon but still he was just growing and growing. Ended up making him his own indoor pond (100 gallons) He lived a little over 20 years. Got a rescue from an acquaintance who was just waiting him to die. I think they bonded. Died within a week of each other and I was sad to see them go.😢They should only be sold in specialty shops for people with large tanks and ponds.
I don't know about in the USA, but here in the UK, clown loach prices have increased massively in the past year or two. Not that I buy them but they used to be relatively cheap as 1.5 inch and obviously very popular but now it's a serious purchasing decision just purely on price. Around £10- £15 each ive seen.
$1 neons/cardinals only exist in my memories from the early 2000s. In the past decade I've never seen them for less than $3 each here in NJ, oftentimes more (up to $7 each for big cardinals).
I had a 55 gallon tank that had 20 cardinal tetras. I absolutely loved them, they where super active. I had that tank set up for about five years until they all passed away. They definitely live longer than people think.
I have heard people consider cory catfish garbage fish but I really love them so I spend a lot of time making sure the tank is clean the ph level is right making sure the amount of food is right and they have lots of hiding places my only problem is that when I feed them algae wafers sometimes algae starts growing in the tank
My neighbor dumped his fish on me when he moved, which was better than actually flushing them. But I feel so bad for these finned babies. All of them are in this list and I am fussing over them like new mom. Never even had an aquarium before. This channel has been a lifeline for me as an improvised fish rescuer.
I liked the video -- about goldfish -- can you do a vid. on fancy goldfish.. they seem to be a separate catagory of waste and pain .. woul dyou ever suggest keeping them ? Ive seen varying opinions
I love the videos with the green screen and that background music cause it reminds me of the videos I first watched when I started keeping fish. Great video john.
❤ John I adore your blunt and humorous ways of telling it like it is. Anyone offended is stubborn or stupid and unwilling to learn. Excellent video. I catch myself saying out loud something only to have you say it right after. I've definitely learned so much from you and Lisa. ❤
No fish is throwaway fish. At first I used to buy feeder fish but I felt really bad seeing them get eaten as they looked just like guppies. Yeah they were cheap and it's how nature works and I could buy like 50 for like $10 but after a few times I stopped and I haven't done it again. I used to give my Oscars/Pacu these fish but since they came from a real river I got afraid of parasites and bacteria as well. Now I bought some high protein high quality food and I haven't bought more feeder fish in months. I know nature works that way, I don't enjoy seeing my fish hunt feeder fish as I only did it for the nutritional benefits. Should I go back to buying feeder fish or should I continue feeding them what I already give them?
As KGTropicals has explained in other videos before, feeder fish are cruel and completely unnecessary with little nutritional benefit and a risk of transmitting pretty nasty parasites to your fish. So you should just stick with the protein fish food.
Speaking of spontaneous aquarium buying. Are plastic and acrylic aquariums okay for fish? I'm not sure if this is just my experience, but at one point I had a plastic/acrylic aquarium years ago, but it seemed to me that my fish didn't do as well in it as the fish I had in glass tanks of the exact same size. It was some really chintzy thing, that I ended up moving all my fish out of and (quite happily) tossing in the trash. (The fish were fine once I got them in a glass tank-I can't remember what it was exactly I thought was wrong with them in that tank lol) Is that a thing? Was I just seeing things? Did I buy a bad product? I had never had a plastic tank prior to that, and I haven't had one since, so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas. Like I said it was years ago, but I still think about it and wonder about it, and I'm just curious. It's entirely possible, it was all in my head and I was just looking for an excuse to get rid of that tank. Like I really don't know.
Hate me if you must. My hobby started with one of each color of the 5 Glofish Tetras. I still have them in a 29g 4 years later, they've reproduced, and are happy and healthy. Oh, and I also have 17 other planted aquariums now.
I love all the fish on this list and have cared for everything except bala sharks and clown loaches at some points in my life. I wasn't a very good fishkeeper back then when RUclips didn't exist yet and resources were rare. They would have probably lived way longer if I knew what I was doing and i definitely wouldn't have put a common pleco, goldfish and angels all in the same tank as i did back then. 😢 I'll be shopping around your site later this month for some new plants and if there's cash to spare, i want both the oscar and betta shirts. I just relocated to a new home after my old one flooded out from a vacant unit above me and my fish is fine, but he had to be in a temporary smaller tank when we had to evacuate, which had no room for all his live plants and most of them had sadly died. Love your channel as always!
I really wish glofish would stop. I recently saw online that globettas are becoming a thing. I know glofish were originally created in a lab for studies... But who ever owns glofish and have them patented are obviously expanding what they own and selling. I just really disagree with purchasing or breeding glofish.
I agree with the names on the list. These fish deserve better (all fish of course deserve to be treated with care and love). I've seen an ad for a certain Czech pet store chain, with an animation of Angelfish in a bowl. Okay, maybe they thought "people wouldn't put fish in a bowl". I don't remember glass bowls being common and aside of Looney Tunes (and similar cartoons) or Police Academy (where it was done for gags). Out of top of my mind I don't remember other movie, where a fish would swim in a bowl. Even in the 1930s it was glass box (framed or full-blown back then) and even 1970s book would say not to put fish in a bowl, although with nano-fish or shrimp large bowl is fine. Sadly people put goldfish, angelfish, neon tetras, etc. Then there was this guy who put Betta in a whisky TUMBLER and put that on RUclips... So in the end glass bowls are rare, expensive or even banned by law. In some countries it's illegal to put a fish into a tank below 50 l / 13 US gallons. So international aquascaping competitions are full of shrimp tanks in that category. I can name a bunch of fish where even half that is perfectly fine long-term, but I can understand such a law.
It's so hard to get a giant clown loach!! I'm pretty sure my last one was around 10years and almost a foot long. Best clown I'd ever seen. Currently growing some out... Slowly 😂...
Glo fish are illegal in the UK but even if they was legal I wouldn't buy them I prefer natural looking fish. And I know you wont agree with me on this but my favorite fish is an Oscar ....but I'd only have Tigers as that's as near to natural as I can find in the UK.
Gotta raise my hand with clown loaches. Kept them as cleaners in a 30 gallon for years. Then I moved to the big city and saw them in a massive aquarium at their true size and my mind was blown. Had no idea they got that big.
I got 2 common plecos 12yrs ago and one died and I went to get more and the guy said no don't buy another one..feed him these pellets and he'll get huge..over a foot long now!
I bought 2 medium sized mono angel fish, I had 15 neons, 6 Guppies in the same tank. Next morning when I checked, cudnt find any neons or guppies. Very sad day.
I like clown loaches. Put three of them in a 75 gallon tank 11 months ago. They’re slowly growing. Did I make a mistake putting them in a too small tank? I know they like to school and was thinking of adding one more! From your video, sounds like I shouldn’t do that.
Fully agree on all of them, but neons and cardinals are those which surprises me the most - I've kept them in panted tanks for years, and the mesmerizing spectacle of a large school of them is the most beautiful thing you can have from an aquarium. I'd go as far as saying, if you find them to be "throw-away" you then should seriously ask yourself if you truly are interested in fishkeeping.
Neon tetra may be cheap but they are genetically weak. I have lost a ton of them in medical quarantine to get the school that i now have that is stable. I did not mourn their passing but accepted it.
Been doing this hobby for 20 plus years and have bought clown loaches throughout. I have yet to see a clown surpass 7 inches and it takes forever for them to reach that if your lucky !!!
All of the "sharks" in the freshwater hobby are either minnows or catfish. They're called "sharks" because they have that broadly shark-like, primitive fish body plan (as opposed to the more advanced percomorph body plan of cichlids, sunfishes, gouramis, livebearers, etc). But I agree that calling them "sharks" was a pretty silly idea. Bala sharks, rainbow sharks, redtail sharks, and roseline sharks are all minnows, and iridescent sharks are catfish.
Yes, but whatever they actually are, they look so sleek and cool. We have had various redtail and Bala sharks living in our 90 gallon tank for three decades. The Bala sharks take many years to get to 6-8" and the redtails seem to stop at about 6". Our biggest fish was a 10" Pleco that we had for 14 years before it died.
Yeah sadly these are some of my favorite kind of fish but I am aware the problems so I stay away from buying them without the perfect setup and maintenance. Side note, what is that amazing fish in the cave at 12:11? I've never seen anything like it!!!
All animals should be treated with love and not some form of "Art" for common amusement. Bettas are my fav fish. Those guys especially are not throw away to me.
I have anecdotal evidence that plecos are poop eaters, i regularly feed a medley of chopped shrimp, shelled peas, pellets, and both algae and carnivore wafers to my fish and my full grown pleco has swam right over top of that stuff to eat a hardy string of poop, the big dumb monster😅
I am currently spending nearly thirty dollars trying to heal a six dollar gorami that could be easily replaced. This hobby does unexplained things to people.

Great list. Agree about the goldfish.

A bit of honesty would save a lot of Bala "sharks." They're actually a member of the carp family. So much for the glamor factor!

Should just call this episode "fish of petsmart an petco " lol
Massive Respect from India...You are absolutely 💯 % right...I feel upset too...
my clown loaches are puppies and the peace keepers of my tank
Ya pet stores really need to have warning signs on big fish fry thanks
"Big fish " or " grows to 15"" 👍
Keen telling the truth if it pisses people off it's only because they don't want what's best for the fish that are in their care
Wow, almost all the fish that we love and have are throw away fish. We have 2 tanks a big 75 and a 10 gal.
I got mixed feelings about glowfish. I do fear genetic modifications for the pet trade. Could go down some dark ally ways.
Nice rainbows
As usual, I agree with u. Keep up the great work John.
Feeder goldfish is the most abused and exploited fish I’ve seen - they’re very cheap and disposable.
Cory’s are mellow fish if not it’s the water dude
Well. One thing is for sure. I want to watch old school Willy Wonka now.
Glo fish are not that colour. The colour is injected not genetically modified
Thank John 💕👍
This is a stocking list for a 125 for the most part.
I dont know whats meant by 'throw away" fish.
Y’all say playcos and bettas wrong so you can’t complain about elementairy 😂 kidding. Love yalls channel and thank you.

It's not Betta or Betta, it's a Siamese Fighting Fish.😜
I have anecdotal evidence that plecos are poop eaters, i regularly feed a medley of chopped shrimp, shelled peas, pellets, and both algae and carnivore wafers to my fish and my full grown pleco has swam right over top of that stuff to eat a hardy string of poop, the big dumb monster😅

People who treat any pet as "throw aways" shouldn't have pets at all!
“Tetras for $1”
Petco: 😂 “you wish”
My initial comment was… Not in Canada! You’re lucky to find a neon for less than $4 most of the time… and don’t even get me started on Cardinals
