    WHAT???? You just said in your other video that Angelfish were difficult for beginners, and yet in here you say they are excellent for beginners. I used to breed fancy goldfish: easy, but a lot of work, just like you said because of the large bio-load. I LOOOOOOVE your videos!! Keep them coming! ;) I wish you were in the US! I'd stock my tanks with your fish. I have a 90 gallon and a 55 gallon.

      I was just gonna post the same thing... This just proves that you shouldn't trust people on the internet as "professionals". Good thing he is ignoring you. I hope this comment makes it to the top. Here's the video where he claims that angel fish are not for begginers if anyone is interested. ruclips.net/video/b-uD3CIXe_A/видео.html

      @patricia-smiles Год назад +1

      @@feenie8855 I guess this shows that it depends on how much you care you put onto your fish. Angelfish may be "easy" if you are fuzzy about your fish; but a little hard to keep and breed if you don't want to do much work....? I don't know. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. His tanks look amazing, and his fish look very healthy so I am sure he knows a lot.

      angelfish are great fishes but get aggressive and big. if the beginner has a bigger aquarium and keep maybe 2-3 of them it might be okay

    Hobbyists unanimously consider White Cloud Mountain Minnow
    s to be much hardier than Neon Tetras (which are actually relatively fragile). Albeit, the tetras probably look nicer.

    • @garg4531
      @garg4531 Год назад

      Personally I'd recommend harlequin rasboras over neon tetras. Much hardier but often overlooked in favor of them
      Interestingly they're also in the same family as white clouds and zebra danios, both considered to be some of the hardiest fish, while tetras in general are usually very sensitive to water quality despite their immense popularity

    ... Plecos are awesome. How can anyone not want one? That said, my first pleco was a sailfin that was mislabeled as a common pleco - which was problematic enough. It wasn't long before it had to go live in someone else's heated pond. But it was a beautiful fish the last time I saw it!

    I still feel like goldfish are definitely not beginner friendly. Commons get absolutely massive and fancies can still get close to ten inches. They need an incredibly large amount of water that most beginners just don’t have and fancies get ill so often that they’re really not a good beginner fish.

    Bristlenose plecos and kuhli loaches are not centerpiece fish. They both hide, they're mainly bottom dwellers, and they're not the most colourful fish. Good centerpiece fish are sparkling gouramis, samurai gouramis, and powder blue gouramis. Some more centerpiece fish are bettas, killifish, and apistogramma cichlids. Angels and goldfish dont make good beginners. Angels are semi aggressive and require a large tank. Goldfish also require a large tank and produce a lot of bio load. Not a lot of people have a 40+ gallon tank because they're so expensive. I don't reccomend those for beginners.

      I put my half moon betta with 7 ghost shrimp, one cory duras, an African dwarf frog and a guppy. They all get along well. Surprisingly my betta is a sweetheart the ghost shrimps are feisty and fight my frog for food.

    The plecos and goldfish are bad beginner fish. If you aren't ready to throw money for them then don't get them. They will become Giants in a few years.
