I found that overstocked glofish tank post on facebook and the owner actually listened and upgraded them to a much bigger tank! Its pretty rare that people with bad fish tanks actually take advice.
😂 I just said a similar comment. Glad they were really in there for guidance and took the advice.
It’s nice to know there are people out there who care.
I can count on all 11 of my fingers how many have taken actual fishkeeping advice!
@@FishForThought damn
@@FishForThought all 11 fingers... 👀
That oddly shaped fish tank is giving me such anxiety, I’m the kind of person that worries about ruining floors and downstairs neighbours lives when there’s a single nano tank in my home.
You getting anxiety is giving me anxiety 😂
@@FishForThought My first thought was, where is the filtration system supposed to go? then realised the washer/dryer is probably taking up its place... I really hope their plan was not to recycle the fish water into their washer or the other way around...
the thumbnail is cursed as hell
😂😂😂😂😂
Looks like he's wearing a monk robe in the thumbnail 😂
Can't show this one to my daughter

Around 3:00 mark to make a mention on those eggs, having multiple mystery snails I recently learned due to having a few that have begun to slow down from old age that they can breath air very well, a lot of people give them whats called an air bath for like 10-15 minutes up to 4 times a day and it really can give older mystery snails snails some new life, I thought 2 of my older mystery snails had died since all the other snails from their generation are now just empty shells and giving them 1 air bath they slowly started opening up and taking big breaths. I also learned with ultra specific and rich diets and conditions they can live a good 1 or 2 years past the 1-2 year that google says, with mega good diet.
Watching FTR while off school sick is low-key a vibe
Same
Get better soon ya little sheit. Maybe keep your fingers away from your mouth. 👍🏻
Hey now if you have time for FFT you have time for study!
But think which is better
Good vibes
QOTW: I have narcolepsy so my sleep is very out of whack. Sometimes I sleep up to 20 hours in one stretch and sometimes I'm lucky to get one hour of sleep. Or it could be anything in between. And then there's the times that I sleep but only part of my brain sleeps but part that is supposed to be asleep isn't (this actually happened during my first and second sleep studies, leading to my diagnosis) so even though I have slept 8 hours I wake up feeling like I have pulled an all-nighter, because my brain actually has.
the mystery substrate at 5:20 is a knock off of stratum from aqueon. its cheaper but does the same thing but doesnt look as natural. it is less dusty though.
Thank you for making our Mondays bearable chris
Also i sleep 9 hours a day
9 hours gang rise up (and continue sleeping)
@@FishForThoughtlol
God, thats the dream. How do you do it?
@@bagelprince3Im homeschooled 😎
Generally 8 or 9 hours. BUT the best sleep I ever had was when I went to Hawaii and slept 12 hours each day. Do I normally need 12 hours? No. But let me tell you waking up to what I originally thought were jungle sounds (did you know wild chickens sound like the monkey sounds you hear in movies?!) after 12 hours of sleep *chefs kiss* fabulous
Hi, it was me, I sent you videos of my micro Crabs that had hunted and we're eating my blue velvet shrimp like 2 years ago lol. So, caution to others interested in the species! Shramps do be expensive doe
Hey I actually think it's you yes!
is that crab still be acting like an apex predator?
Quick story. I blew my heater up in my aquirium. I was trying to manage 2 tanks with 1 heater. Forgot about it above the tank and knocked it over. U know the effect wen I poor cold liquid into a warm glass taken out a dishwasher. I did unplug the heater immediately and got a new one ASAP
sheeesh!
2:47 those are mystery snail eggs though! they have lungs and can breathe out of water for up to 10 minutes or more (we try not to do longer than 10 minute air baths at least).
Came here to say the same thing! Mysteries have to lay their eggs out of water or they drown.
@cassiemarks3078 sources *say* mysteries will typically lay their eggs a mere few inches above a waterline. unfortunately snails can't read so they don't know that :(
Qotw: I’m lucky if I could get 6 hours nowadays, ever since I move to this house 1 year ago.
Live near a pretty active rail road so I often hear the train and feel the vibrations all night long, My bed and pillow are too soft…waiting for that New firmer bed to arrive, Also the placement of stuff in my room kind of off
that plant at 9:36 is 铜钱草 (sorry I don't know the English name), it's not meant to be underwater lol. It's kind of a marsh plant so the roots can be in water but the leaves will rot.
It looks like Brazilian pennywort
That's hydrocotyle verticillata ... Pennywort or coin plant is common name
@@HopeB555 some variation of pennywort yes, but not Brazilian pennywort
@@tethys84 😅 I'm pretty rubbish at identifying plants. Mea culpa
@@HopeB555 haha it's ok, there are really so many plants in this hobby!
I'm a mother with three young kids... What's sleep? 😭😴
oh :(
0:30 I think this is one of those desk toys that has water in it and has lights and makes air bubbles when it’s plugged in to move around either a plastic fake fish or a silicone jellyfish, they’re usually attached by an invisible string to either a weight at the bottom of the container or a float at the top of the water in the container, it was probably in the cat toy section of the pet store that guy found it in if it hadn’t been mis shelved, they sometimes have fake butterflies that move in artificial terrariums for the cats to play with as well, I actually almost got one of the fake jellyfish ones for my cats and I to stare at once a few years ago but it was just a tiny bit more expensive than I could afford at the time when I saw it, I did get a tiny glass fishbowl that had tiny glass fish on tiny glass floats once when I was very little but either I dropped it or it fell off of something when it was full of water and everything broke, and since then I got a real fish and an actual regular sized aquarium to keep it in, the little floating toy fish is actually a pretty good idea for kids whose parents don’t want to take care of an actual fish tank for them but the kid really wants a fish, but definitely don’t put any real fish in it because it’s definitely not big enough for any actual live fish. I also need nine hours sleep usually, unless I have been taking care of myself exceptionally well for a while then I might wake up without trying after seven or eight hours of sleep but that doesn’t happen very often, if I’ve been doing too much and not taking care of myself sometimes I need as much as ten or twelve hours sleep to feel rested, I also get migraines and sleep deprivation is a major migraine trigger for me as well.
Lol called out I have my own business and often run off 4 hours of sleep, I don't really care when I got to bed just need to be up at 5 to keep my routine going!
it looks like samurai soil for 4:55. its some really nice and rich stuff thats good for small tanks and for fish that could possibly eat stuff off the ground and eat to small of substrate. its also soft
Hi! It was my 20 gallon you reviewed in this video. Thank ❤. I will admit it, I am HORRIBLE when it comes to aquascaping. It’s just stick things where they fit, load tank up with plants and see what happens 😂.
Since I went back to uni I've had way less sleep, these last two month maybe 2-3 hours per night? Did my last exam today and now I've got 2 month to do with as I please. Gonna try and get back to my normal 5-6h. I'd love to sleep more but I've had insomnia since I was a child. 2am water changes are a good way to at least get sth positive out of it. ^^
Answer of the week: I sleep exactly 8 hours on most days off. Weekdays I usually get 6-7.5 hours. On weekends I can sometimes get up to 9 or rarely 10 and recently slept 11 after I stayed up 20 hours after not getting good sleep for 2 weeks
one day i woke up and one of my mystery snails crawled out of the tank and made it half way across mt living room, and he was perfectly fine after shedding off a protective mucus layer of mucus when he was back in the tank
7.45 to 9, otherwise I'm miserable.
I have insomnia, so I am often miserable. Currently wishing I could get a new pituitary gland on 6 hours.
It drives me mad when people try to brag about how little sleep they get. Lack of sleep ruins recovery, it makes you dumber, and it elevates your risk of stroke, heart disease, heart attacks, dementia, and so much more. Plus people who say they get 4 hours a night are liars lmao.
hey man i just wanna let u know i saved my fish from death as one jumped out my video will be uploaded by wednesday ill link it
QOTW: I have very bad sleep issues so I take sleep medicine but to knock me out it has to be very strong and sometimes I have to sleep 10-12 hours to not feel groggy.
I’ve decided to start a tank. I’m only in the research stage and I’m so glad I’ve found these videos
Always making Mondays a little better!
I’m out sick right now and this just made the day 1 million times better
gws!
Sleep what’s that I work a full time job, I have two kids, and a side business. I gave up on that concept years ago lmao it’s all worth it though
another quality video, thanks for making our mondays a little more bearable! as far as the qotw goes, i definitely haven't been getting enough sleep haha. im lucky to get five hours with all the stuff i gotta do
I was also a member of that Facebook group. Many people like to shame them but a lot of people in there are literally beginners, hence the name. It's not right to make fun of them as we all have also killed a lot of fish starting this hobby.
The portable fishtank is obviously just a bubble lamp.... Even the package shows PLASTIC fish.
That first "fishtank" reminds me of a line in Cats and Dogs movie.... "You can love your pets, just don't LOOOOVE your pets. Sleep... at least 6 hrs for me to get by and that's what most times are because of having to get up for work but if I could, I would sleep till noon every day :P
LMAO well im sure there are those who do LOOOOOOVE their dogs yikes
Just bought a new 20 gallon long today and my day was even better when I see a new ftr released
Almost nothing better than a 20 gal long
I dont know what to put in it tho lol
Thank uuu Chirs! Making Mondays tolerable
thx for watchin!
I once took some floaters from local pond and even quarantined for some weeks but when i put it in my main tank and some days later i saw some small fish swimming😂
I get about 6 hours, normally fall asleep around 11 then I’m up at 5:30 for school. Only about a month more of that schedule until we’re done
Hey FishKeepers. I have a question! For two goldfish (one fancy and one common) would 200L/50 Gallons be enough? Currently they are in a 50L/13 Gallon tank. This is what was recommended by the store, and far too small! They are growing!! Fast!! I have researched the plants, wood and hardscaping for this, but I don't want to have to upgrade again in 12 months or so! For info, the fancy is about 4 inches now, and less than six months old! I did have an amonia spike at the start (October) and he went very black, but now clear. I have a 100L/26 Gallon cycling now, but feel twice the size would be better. Any thoughts??
Tank from the aquariums for beginners... yes that was a light. Sadly people in this group look like they're asking for help only to tell people they are bullying them in the comments, and proceed to say everything is fine.
On the plus side, I've actually suggested your channel a few times as I find these videos as valuable as other channels I recommend. ❤
Yeah bullying is poo poo L
I love waking up on Mondays and watching the new ftr
Woohoo!
My rose tail betta keeps sitting on the bottom i feed my betta twice a day and 4 pallet everytime and there is a heater at 28°C what might be the problem my betta lives in a 10 gallon btw
That first "tank" is giving "Anything is a toy if you're brave enough" vibes.... I kinda wanna send this to that ambulance guy that makes videos about not making.... questionable choices about what you put in your body...
Amazing video as always! I wanted to ask if it is possible for me to put an oranda goldfish in a 13.2 gallon fish tank? I recently started getting more and more interested in goldfish, but a 13.2 gallon is all I have. And unfortunately it is not possible for me to get a bigger tank.
Question of the week: I sleep anywhere from 0 - 19 hours
Unkempt is how I'd describe my tanks after the val started sending out nore runners than i can keep up with lol now i trim the val about once a month when it starts hiding my crypts which grew like crazy behind the val
Take that snail story and imagine seeing a hillstream loach on your wall instead. 🙃
Some of these tanks are amazing some of them not so much…. Why can’t people just buy the proper tank?
CHRIS I AM WATCHING THIS BEFORE SCHOOL FFT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY EDUCATION!!
Is it OK to let algae grow if I'm going for a river bottom style tank?
.
.
.
I must have 7 hours at least. Any less and I'm not good company. Any more and I'm sleep drunk the rest of the day x.x thanks, necessary medication
I just bought some clams and I hope I don’t regret it.
Thanks!
tysm!!
help, theres a algae infection in my tank, probably my fault for getting 5 (formerly 6 but one didn't make it, it was pretty sickley when we got it) oto catfishs to clean our tank, any idea on how to help? it's a betta tank btw, a over 10 gallon tank, can't remember the exact gallons, think it's a 20-30g
Happy Monday and good morning everyone
Bruh really though without an lfs in the area paying for plants, fish and basically anything I can't get from Amazon takes months of saving and prepping to be able to afford. I've had a big beautiful bow front sitting in the driveway for 6 months because I have so little disposable income to scape it
i Lift weights to protect Augustus Gloop. 🏋️♂️💪
12 hours when it’s the weekend and 5 hours on a school day
QOTW: I need like 9-10 hrs 😅. When Im on break from college and don’t have to do anything I’ll go full nocturnal; bed at 3 am sleep till 5 pm. Yaaaa I know it’s bad.
QOTW: Honestly I've gotten used to 4-6 hours. I can function off 3 hours and If I get over 6.5 hours I wake up just as tired as when I get under 4. 😅 It's not healthy, but it is what it is 🤣🤣🤣
QotW: Need, no idea. Get, maybe 7h altogether, but mostly interrupted by, oh look its 2:30am why don’t you wake up now cause the sky looks so beautiful (no idea why my body/brain/whatever-wakes-me-in-the-middle-of-night hates me).
Also got a giant apple snail in that 20 long!
And that's not a snail on the wall. Those are it's eggs
Those darn snails, indeed 😂
Hey ember tetras! I read once that they're one of the best tank mates for micro crabs due to how small and shy they are
I've never seen guppies show off like that! I've only read it like maybe once or twice recently, but usually all I hear is that they like chasing females. But taking the time to show off his fins in an effort to court her first? Such a gentleman!
"If it stops being a thin blue line, you know you've got problems"
Gosh that is so true (i don't get the blue line reference but I understand neon tetras
I would only condone that portable fishtank for growing plants
I used to only need 4 nonconsecutive hours thanks to some crazy training I was apart of, then it was 6 straight hours, and now it’s 8. Man getting old sucks 😂
That portable fish tank thing looks way to much like a bullet...
FINALLY SOMETHING GOOD TO WATCH 😭😭🔥🔥🔥
YAHOOO
It's a light, heater is in the back right corner.
@FishForThought Hi! I know there are a lot of comments but I came across a video by ApexAquatics titled "Water change gone wrong" and it is hard to watch. In the comments, he also insists that betas do not need a lot of room. I don't know much about his other videos, but by the looks of this one they can't be good. Anyway, he might make a good segment on a fish tank review.
Definitely need exactly 8 hours, no more, no less.
I sleep for 6 hrs. More or less makes me have migraines. I’ve been that way my whole life.
Sleep? Some days I am that 4 hour guy... but I have also slept 12 hours... I don't put a time on it. I just get up.
That dirted pond water tank is probably ideal to breed tetras
I need 3.5 years to catch up on my sleep😂 (I have a 3.5 years old daughter)... also btw, my 22 gallon new tank is arriving on Thursday, I'm upgrading from 10. It's all your fault Chris
I did not know until today glofish existed. Might be what finally makes me start an aquarium.
2:57 i don't think that's normal?
I like a 6 hour sleep. 8 feels a little too long unless I had a late night but if I get any less sleep I cry
I’ve been waiting for another episode 👏 this is so good
tyty!
@ 0:32 mins. Well... back in my younger years those 'sex toy' shaped looking things were lava lamps, I believe they are now out of style so the manufacturer of those lamps makes fish tanks out of the ones left.....
8 hours minimum!
Btw, is it normal for baby corys to hide even after dark? My bandits left some in the quarantine tank some weeks ago but haven't seen them for the past few days.
This one is hard to say! Do you have a lot of hiding places and lotsa plants? It's hard to see them if you do
@@FishForThought yeah, they're probably hiding. Perhaps scared of all the blue shrimp zooming around. I'll have a talk with them because bandits should be bolder than this.
@@FishForThoughtspotted them again today! They´ve grown! :D
New batch of BBS will be ready soon so they can munch.
If you want to use something from outside(rock's), how do you know what's safe for your tank and what's not?
Thats the tricky part and where hours of research comes in!
I sleep 7 hours on weekdays and 9 hours on weekends. It's working great for me actually.
Can I still use it for what it looks like?
It is actually suitable for the office or study table. It just isn't suitable for live fish
I typically only get 6-7 but i dont wake up feeling refreshed unless i get 8 minimum. 🐟
4:40 and if you live in Brazil, some Aedes Egipt with Dengue Fever…
It's the best fishtank I have ever seen for plastic fish
1:51 how to talk dirty fish keeper edition 👀🎏
i need more sleep but because im an insomniac/am dogshit at sleeping adn staying asleep, i tend to get around 3 hours per night if im lucky. i take naps where im able to to try and make up for it :')
I'm frillin' lucky to get 5 hours, I want more sleep but apparently it is not aloud.
2:55 are you okay it dose not hurt when i breath in at least i think.
That Siamese algae eater looks like it might have bloat.
Heyo, just wondering, for a tank Im considering soon, question, what are your favourite fish for 30-40 gallons? (Question for everyone)
4hrs sleep but once a week I will need a full 8hrs to rest and recover
QOTW: Six hours plus naps. People are sleeping on naps, IMHO.
i have noclue ima student lol somedays i be sleeping 3 somedays ibe sleeping 16hrs.... ALSO GETTING MY FIRST PLANTED TANK AFTER YEARS OF FISHKEEPING(monsterfishkeeper here)-got some cryptocoryne( ponteridifolia,wendtii tropica), hygrophila(difformis and polysperma rosernevig) , vallesnaria(smaller one), elodea, watersprite,amazon swor,javamoss,guppygrass for a 15 gallon.... ik the plant stocking is weird but its an experiment because im doing full diy( dirted tank, flood lights, yeast sugar method co2) any tips appreciated and how many watts should i use(6500k temp) using watts as a measure because diff models and stuff yes i have been geeking man
Anything under 6 hours and ... don't ...don't anything towards me. Although, I have hypersomnia and should get at least 9 hours.
I need at least 8 hrs overnight with an additional 3 hour siesta if possible 😂😂😂
Cris : I own ftr
millie and reapshy : no we don't think so
i have a exam tomorrow and i could not care less
6:54 Yea i remember that guy
I normally sleep about 5-6hrs
I know it's a serious distress when sadness and sorrow kicks in

In Europe we dont know these scary American fish torture wood huts 😂
