How do you have such nice local fish stores. All I have are Petco's and PetSmart's filled with employees that tell me bettas love to play with each other.
It's because petco and petsmart kill local fish shops. Fish shops have high overheads so any loss in customers could be enough to take them out. And once the ones that were in the area before go out. It becomes nearly impossible for new ones to spring up. Because they have the market now and everyone knows them and probably will not know about the start ups in time for them to not go out of business. It's like that in Sandeigo County when I lived there I would have to drive 30 miles or more to go to a local fish shop. Which is a day trip when you factor in traffic.
I noticed there was some coloured, almost aquarium rock looking stuff in one of Milly's bowls, next to the food. And just wanted to mention if that is indeed food id recommend switching to something without dyes, as foods like that are commonly a lot of filler that isn't great for your bird
@@FishForThought Ive heard harrisons is great! Its a little spendy but really high quality. I also think Lafeber's is good but I've never tried it myself.
RUclips recommended one of your videos like 2 weeks ago and now I’m watching all of your videos new and old 😂 And no, I don’t own any fish and don’t plan to. I just find all the videos so interesting 👍🏼👏🏼
Those furcata rainbows are so beautiful!! 🌈 I’m not sure about gouramis. Female plakat bettas will always be my fave labyrinth fish. ❤️❤️😍😍 Wait no I take it back!! Sparkling gouramis look so cool.. Foo’s sparkling gouramis made me want some.. ❤️❤️❤️
@@wackyantman5893 they actually are omnivores and eat any insect that fits in their mouth and some parts of plants are eaten if the gecko lives in a dry or a moist habitat they do eat insects
The excitement is real! I just got a 29 gallon and I'm going to add a ton of neon tetras and a Betta as a centerpiece. I'm moving my current neon tetras and Betta from my 10 gallon to the 29 and then buying more tetras. So I'm putting guppies in the 10 gallon. No one needs to know that but I'm excited so whatever. Edit: yes, I know they're all super basic fish but I love them
I'm so excited to see these vlogs, you've been so inspiring, my first tank is going well, can't wait to show you on petcord one day! (trying to avoid the ever present "those plants WILL look good.. wHeN tHeY gRoW iN aNd tHe CaRpEtInG fills iN")
You can get pangea directly from their website, as well as josh's frogs and reptile basics, often for discounted prices in larger packs than amazon and pet stores! Just in case you hadn't been aware before. I particularly like pangea's own website, but josh's frogs has sales a lot more and they're a great website for bioactive supplies.
@@FishForThought I feel like one of them wasnt too bad if it was just food but I defer to you as you know it better! There's also reptilesrus which is a CA distributor of pangea, I just dont know what their prices are like vs your local store price. Oh, and petparadise
Millie is so freakin cute!! I would suggest putting the paper over the grate or removing it entirely for easier cleaning. Also any toys with cotton on it i'd ditch and replace with toys made from natural materials. Mine love stuff from bird tricks / planet pleasures. :D
Haven't watched the video yet but i know it's gonna be awesome! Chris, you inspired me get a 16gallon, heavily planted community aquarium with a betta, Kai ❤️
I have fork tail rainbows too & they are so cute I love them 🥰 I got mine from AquaHuna They come to you really tiny & you get to see them grow & get their little colorful fins It’s amazing!!
Yo! I'm gonna be getting an axolotl real soon (buying the tank and live plants this friday) and your videos have been a real help in getting me more confident on making a nice looking tank. We already have an axolotl from a local breeder held back, his name is Tanjiro. He'll be big enough to take home in 3 weeks! :D Thank you again, you've been a huge help and I'm always looking forward to new videos.
I would like to see a 5/5 tank video set up so everyone can know and learn the best for betta fish i lovvveee watch you videos would think a video like this would be good for all fish and betta lovers☺❤ lots of love and sunshine
Chris, since you seem to live somewhat near me, i recommend you try hitting up Fish addicts in Langley! Can be hit or miss bec they are hugely popular but if you call before you head out there and they've gotten a fish shipment in the last week or so its awesome! So soooo many plants I've never seen such a wide selection!
You inspired me to try my first aquascape! (second aquarium, the first was when I was 10 and I did not understand better fish care.) I am working on a 20 gallon planted tank with dark fertilized sand and volcanic rocks as a hard feature. I am going to put my two corydoras, some shrimp, and maybe if I have space I could cram in some fish that hang around the top like guppies or danios. If you have any advice or anything you think I should do differently please reply.
I very much enjoy your humor. like you really have me out here LOLing by myself in my dark room 🤣 especially your little vine references. your vids are most entertaining, thanks my dude! 😊
the longer you wait to make coffee from ground beans the less it tastes like it's supposed to and more like already pre-ground coffee. the fresher the bean the better tasting the coffee will be.
I hope that's not too much flow for your samurai. I love how gouramis move but they're not the strongest swimmers! My chocolates are big sensitive, shy babies, who fall apart if the pH creeps up at all... I have extremely soft water but with a high PH, so I have to use RO for em. I've read samurais have similar care (though I've also seen people claim chocolates aren't sensitive!) So I'm curious if the samurais are more robust.
I am having a bad night and this video really helped lighten my mood, I’m not even saying this just to be nice, it really made me laugh and calmed me down. Thank you Chris.
Now my search for Samurai Gourami starts really liked the gourami a really odd colour and design on its body and the Rainbows are also awesome..... Idk when this hobby would get a bit more attention in INDIA.....anyway love your content CHRIS
Nice. I always wanted samurai or chocalate gourami but I have no close stores that have them. Best chance is driving an hour and seeing if the best store can order them which isn’t too bad since I need to get some more pea puffers.
I get it I did betas for 3 years male and female and then just recently escaped a larger tank and I've got guppies in them I've got about 10 guppies But the I think is pretty large pretty large they're doing great my next is basically to get like a 7 gallon tank and I want to use it for aquascaping practice. I want to put on a frosty cover and then I want to do something with driftwood I want to try to do a dirted tank with a layer of natural looking gravel. Or even try to do like a substrate and then add sand over it yeah. But the aquarium soil is quite an expensive for one liter it's about 300 NT but I think it would be enough to do a dirty tank but I'd actually like to get some potting soil and see if I can use that instead and then cap it with sand. Some people use crushed lava rock and then they add a layer of potting soil and then they cap it with gravel or sand. I'd like to create the escape where I can you know really use more escaping that kind of goes up and I'd like to have Driftwood in the the front and I'd like to be able to do some carpeting but again I want to use bottled water to see if the process would be better. But it's probably going to cost about $100 to put this tank together
Hey, I just realized I’ve been subscribed for about a year now.....back in June, this channel is all I’ve watched 😂 I will continue to support you Chris!
Love the small fish with the contrasting samurai fish, nice and low stocked, suits the way you have the tank designed. Also quick note I’m moving house 😔 that means i need to re do my tanks again, especially my 190L, hALP, any ideas?!
So I agree that the forktails are cute. So I googled them just to see if it's something I could do. (It's not) But the first thing I saw said they should be kept in schools of at least 10 and in at least a 30 gallon? Just curious if this is an over estimate by the site, or....
dude great stocking choices rly love thoes rainbows i have a few of thoes with some iluminauts rainbows and they are some of my favorite fish of all time!
I have a fork tail blue eye Rainbow. I freakin’ love it! So active and they look amazing! I have mine in a 20 long with a couple Corys and a pair of dwarf flag cichlids
I really like this fish tank and the fish choice but only one Samurai? I have them too and can say they absolutely love to be in groups. ...get some more, you'll enjoy it
Let’s take a moment to appreciate Chris’s fish tanks
Yes sir
Definitely 👍
No
Appreciate Chris very very much🙏🙏🙏😃😊
When I see Chris's little tanks and how pretty they are, I almost regret that I invested in a 20 gallon. It'd be better to set up several small ones.

Im sorry :(
My petsmart has some issues but they are better than that at least. Mostly. I'm still not over selling me a dead snail.
It's because petco and petsmart kill local fish shops. Fish shops have high overheads so any loss in customers could be enough to take them out. And once the ones that were in the area before go out.

Those rainbow fish are beautiful colours, thanks for introducing me to a new fish 😍
Cris just saying that the toy in your cockatiel's cage that has the fabric strings could be dangerous for your bird. If he eats it could kill him
I will substitute it out with more paper toys

I maybe be late on the post of this video but it is a great video the fish look very good

That samurai gourami looks so 😎
I get it I did betas for 3 years male and female and then just recently escaped a larger tank and I've got guppies in them I've got about 10 guppies
But the I think is pretty large pretty large they're doing great
my next is basically to get like a 7 gallon tank and I want to use it for aquascaping practice.
I want to put on a frosty cover and then I want to do something with driftwood I want to try to do a dirted tank with a layer of natural looking gravel.
Or even try to do like a substrate and then add sand over it yeah.
But the aquarium soil is quite an expensive for one liter it's about 300 NT but I think it would be enough to do a dirty tank but I'd actually like to get some potting soil and see if I can use that instead and then cap it with sand.
