Hi ... I know I did a lot of things wrong but I learned a lot and want to learn more for my new 20 gallon I cycled it :)
Challenge the Wild lol, i my first ten gal i bought a bunch of fish. kept them in a bowl for hours, and put them in the tank without any cycle. they all survived somehow but the tank lived for 2 years
Challenge the Wild since you want to learn more about your tank and what you did wrong first of all you were supost to wash the rocks before putting them in your tank to wash all the chemicals of of them them once filling the tank you were supost to let the water filter for 24 to 49 hours them once putting your fish in you should have put the bag in the water and let them sit like that for 30 minutes to let the water temperures even out then once transferring them to the tank dumped them into a net then put them in the tank that way there was no cross water contamination I hope this answered any future questions
Challenge the Wild hi bro please tell me,should I put 2 girl guppies with my betta in a 10 gallon tank? the tank is planted ,cycled and has 3 ghost shrimp and 3 pond snails ,they are all doing very well. By the way love your videos !!!
Challenge the Wild hey i am a new fish keeper as well and I recommend getting a fluval aqua clear because they dont have cartridges
You should leave your tank standing for a few weeks
Nothing like watching the new guy learning the hard way... Thanks for sharing and welcome to the world of fish keeping. A+ for enthusiasm.
awe thanks :) czcams.com/video/brZiRzmEpy8/video.html
tropical fish need a heater
Challenge the Wild g
I was going to say I love when new people get in to the world of aquariums
Scott Hill that's the truth learning the hard way is the easy way when I setup my first tank which is a 30 gallon it's all live plants and I used tetra safe start plus and a dechlorinator since I'm on city water but my process took about 4 hours but it is worth it
I feel like all the aquarium owners are cringing so hard after watching this
Yes you are. Right
Basically stabbed me haha. I aquascape with freshwater fish and this- uh...
Yes I am
I’m dying watching this-
I am too
I was going to say what you did wrong, but I see you have already been informed plenty of times. Anyway it was a nice video and I'm sure you'll get better.
+parrotfishguy thanks 😊 I think I am
The tank has to cycle before adding fish....
MasterAquatics yes that's true but I was a little rushed for time thanks for the advice
I do know you were rushed for time, but it truly is NOT fair for your fish to not cycle them! For future, please cycle, or at least buy beneficial bacteria for your tank.
just to let you know its not a toy, they are living breathing creature..i don't know if you added water conditioner or not & beneficial bacteria in the water.. the beneficial bacteria can be bought at any pet store it is must for every new tank..otherwise your fish will die within month...it is also called fish cycle..usually some people do this method by adding alot of cheap fish to the new tank without adding any bacteria drops so some considered it as cruel so thats why you can purchase beneficial bacteria in a bottle add few drops in new tank then you can add fish right away.
yeah why did you not cycle it first
MasterAquatics hey master aquatics, love your channel!
"he's flipping upside down. what does that mean?"
me whenever my fish do something different
I'm sure , 90% percent of pet owners do research "after" they get there pet. I'll admit I did, but thank god none of my pets died due to my lack of knowledge. and now I'm a lot more experienced and continue to do what I love doing for my pets and plants.! I'm thinking about posting videos myself cause I want everyone to see my beautiful set ups and transformation of not knowing much to knowing quite a bit. I encourage EVERYONE to Study on your pet before handling them. Have a good day all you pet lovers!
I didn't do any. research until after but i hope now its better :)
Ohhhhh I do that but I am always tired every time I prapare for my future pets, I always get tired since I'm just 12 years old and no help at all😕😕😕😕soo what I do is get all they needed and make sure that I get the right food for my future pets before getting them
Glad I did research
I agree so much
Is that your actual profile pic with an actual gun?
This Video is listed as educational.....i could go into great detail on how this setup could kill many fish...but there's no need to be too negative heh. at least post a disclaimer that this is not how to safely set up a tank.
Awe im sorry I know this is not correct I but people learned what not to do lol but I changed up my tank style a lot I cycled my newest 20 gallon for almost a month and also Im cycling a 20 tall right now :)
Myaquariuminfo Ever thought that it might be educational of what not to do??? Nooooooooo!!!
HAHAHA this video so much reminds me of when I was younger and just entered the fish-keeping hobby. My parents bought me a 30 gallon tank with a cheap ass filter, I chose an Oscar. Overtime, the Oscar grew and the old tank had to be replaced with a 90 gallon tank with a more sophisticated filtration system, I think it was Tetra (can't recall much). But unfortunately my oscar died when we were on a family vacation overseas, I was 17 and devastated, she was 11 inches in length and ~3.5 years old. I have to put this hobby of mine on hold as I am in university and not at home very much often. Great video! I sincerely hope that you'll stay motivated in fish-keeping and anything that you do I suppose. All best, F.
I been having my oscar for a yr now hes 4In or so, and i had the same steuggles as of right now.im gonna be upgrading to. 30 gal since hes my only fish. Any tips you can give me? Everyone says for advice get a 50 or 75gal but i cant right now and i figured i have time till he gets bigger for that. You think 30 gal would be okfor now, bc rn i jave him in a regular sized tank 10gal or so.
It's alright you learn from your mistakes I guess, my first tank wasn't cycled at the start and my betta is still alive! I am planing on getting a 10 gallon and making sure this is cycled before getting any new fish! Do you remember how much this tank costs?
Anonymous Person my Walmart sells it for like 15$
R.I.P your betta ❤️
Like 20 to 30 bucks
This was exactly me when I bought my first 20 gallon fish tank. I bought 25 fish and put them straight into the tank and the take got polluted and all of them died.
Awe im sorry you should stick to the 1 fish per gallon and make sure you dont but store water in I did that :(
Challenge the Wild I do 3 gallons per fish. I know you not gonna respond.
So much for the "1 inch of fish per gallon of water" rule.
People hating on a beginner. I had to learn the hard way too and its upsetting and disappointing but then you learn!
Half way into this vid and I already knew this guy got a earful 😂😂
Omg i know XD
Guys, let’s be honest. He didn’t do it correctly. But he was just learning the hard way, and was getting educated as he did it.
u didn't cycle the tank
Yeah i know :( but i will for my next tank :)
@@ChallengetheWild you can float it to by putting in some biological booster
Wow!!! Your fish keeping has come so far since this vid!!! You've had quite the fish journey!!! Keep up the good work'
If this guy on Craigslist will respond with his address, I'm going to get a 20 gallon tomorrow! It looked like a five gallon in the picture, but no! It also comes with a coral reef bg, lid, filter, air stone, plants, and decor. This guy is really nice because I told him I was buying with my allowance and he's only charging me $15! Which works out great because my allowance is only $20 so I can buy gravel because it doesn't include any. I'll be sure to watch lots of your videos to learn how to take care of my fish!
Wow thats so awesome good score :)
Morgan Gentry I'm getting a 35 gallon for 20$
challenge the wild dont worry u can take all the fish out the ocean and put one betta and people will still complain about space smh
lil uzi gaming exactly
Goldfish are CARP Lol
No, everyone would complain about the betta being in a saltwater habitat..
Well they would complain that the betta is fresh water and the ocean will kill it should have said a lake or somthing fresh water ol
Watching this video and your later videos really shows the improvement. I wonder how the people who hounded at you two years ago feel about you now with your really decked out fish room, aquascapes, etc.
Everyone starts out terrible.
When I had my first aquarium, a 20 gallon, I thought NA I only have to to a water change every 2 months or so :). My fish lived in there becuase they got used to the terrible perameters. Then I said, I want a 75 gallon tank, I will take care of it once a week, check the parameters every 2-3 days. My fish are doing amazing. Now we set up a 32 gallon reef, it’s going great.
Thanks so much I did so many things wrong in this first video but I think i have improved a ton! I just set up my first betta sorroity I would love if you could check it out :D
*Tips for any future aquariums*
-Make sure your filter is cycled
-Make sure you have a heater for tropical fish
-Make sure the tank size is right for the fish
“Activated charcoal “ 😂 it’s activated carbon
I know you said you learned some mistakes and such, and I also really don't want to read all of the comments to see if anyone missed this, but you should never get fish until your tank is done amd fully cycled. The fish have about 30 minutes of oxygen in that bag. So you want to make sure your tank is done before getting them to make sure they have plenty of oxygen and don't die in the bag! :)
Before Setting Up A fish tank rules....
#1 Wash the rocks before pouring the water out....
#2 Don't mix the store water to your tank..
#3 Use a net for pouring the fish...
Hope you did this rules before setting up a fish tank..
Dude look were he is now before you comment
He's flipping upside down what does that mean 😂😂😂 gotta love this kid
From +A noob, to now a 16 year old with his own fish room. Great Job James. Love the content
3:16 the sound when you pu it in.
Kalw Mamakams rrrrrrrrrrrr
Salvador Espinosa ahh yes I’m deaf, thank you for the the transcript
Omg I remember this video like it was yesterday 👏👏
Same lol
I used to own bettas as a kid. I had no idea what I was doing. It wasn't until years later I decided to get back into the hobby but with a fresh mind and everything. I put my betta into the tank that didn't have a cycle. Fortunately the betta was fine since I had a heater and filter in a 5 gallon tank. It took me a while to get it cycled but fortunately he did survive.
Reminds me of what I did when I got my first fish that I decided to do some proper research after growing up but man I was cringing so hard. Glad to hear things have improved! Because that was so cringey watching every single one of those mistakes you made in the video. Thanks!
STILL BETTER!
i did alot of things wrong when i bought my first tank , but eventually we learn with time:)
The benefit of setting up a fish tank this way is you get to learn everything about fish keeping extremely fast, if you want to keep them alive. I hope your tanks are doing well now buddy✌️
you should probably condition your water and let it cycle...
Thanks Im gonna get a 20 gallon and I will definitely do that
Petco is having their dollar per gallon sale! :)
ryan crouse he said he has well water
2 crazycousins still well water needs to be conditioned
ryan crouse i didnt do it, everything gucci
The growth of your knowledge and experience over the past 4 months is just insane bro! Not to mention how fast your channel grew! How the heck did you do THAT!?
whats your other channel?
And your fish are going to die. Please research first before you get fish! You need to cycle your tank first
I know I forgot to :( but I will for my next tank :)
Jessica Mullis and there is no heater
Mr Moss oh boy this is going to be interesting
Jessica Mullis I'm getting a tank what do you mean cycle?
hey jay, so basically a fish tank is a mini ecosystem that runs on ammonia, ph, nitrates and nitrates called the 'tank cycle'. When setting up a new tank it is going to go through a cycle. having ammonia, nitrates and nitrates are bad and you don't want them so thats why you have a filter which holds beneficial bacteria in it. however this beneficial bacteria need time to set up in your new tank which is why you have to wait for it to cycle before you put anything into the tank. this process takes approximately 3 weeks, and you can take your water to a local pet store or buy a water testing kit to monitor this. I work with aquatics at a pet store so i can help you online with setting up your tank if needed! it is not as hard as it seems :) but it vital if you want happy healthy fish. this is why so many fish die early is because people do not understand this process
Lol this is how you murder those fishes
1. Snails kill your fish
2. Never feed as soon as you get them
3. Rinse gravel plants and accesories
4.use water conditioner
That dude that passed bye and did hand signs at the beginning plz tell me I’m not the only one😂
where did you get those sunglasses?
JZD American eagle they are dope right
Yes sir they are dope
0:33
Guy was like
" Peace "
you must do Aqua safe in the water and you must wait 2 weeks before you put fish in it and do not put water from the pet store in to your tank
+CΞNK ΞLMAS I know I found all that out after I did it. But gladly all my fish are safe. I'm going to get a chemical test kit to test the water
Challenge the Wild cool👍😍
CΞNK ΞLMAS u only need to wait 3 days
CΞNK ΞLMAS I thought it was a day 😓😓😓
48 hours
I miss these, in your new video your some man-child hype beast
Dalmation mollies!!! I have tried multiple types of live bearers and they always died while the other fish are fine. It is the same with my ghost shrimp and Nerite snails.
ahh they are awesome, im sorry
Thanks for showing each step I just started. I can’t grow anything but my one fish has stayed alive
Andrew Garfield was so happy when he was young...
The tank has to cycle for 3 weeks before adding fish. Because of a spike.
+Danny's Aquariums thable for the advice I might get a 20 gallon ill defiantly do that 😊
I was like NOOOOOO when he put the pet store water into his tank. 😂😥
some people are disgraceful. they just wander around youtube disliking any videos that capture their eyes.. whats wrong in this video? Nothing. i loved it. im gonna sub
I just checked out your more recent content. Good job!! You definitely learned from your mistakes and took action love the NEW content
You have so much to learn but I am excited for you (: lol I have thought about uploading videos too since I started in the fish keeping a year ago but I never got around to it
Not sure what you got now but you do need a heater if its not between 72-82
+It's Emi I think my temp is about 78 or 80
You still need water if it’s well water because of all the iron and stuff
U need a heater but nice vid 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
Why do you need to buy things in a different stores?
Just some tips for next time. You should put the gravel in before the water and let the filter run for 24 hours before putting the fish in but nice video :)
The water .... you didn't add in the stuff that makes it safe for the fish.
Luke Vlogs you mean anti chlorine
Tap water is safe 4 fish , you never really need dechlorinator.
2 crazycousins Its safe. The chlorine will run off as gas with the right filtration. You can the use carbon to take care of the rest. In aquariums under 10 gallon you dont really need carbon either. Im also a grade 1 aquarist , i really know my stuff.
Then you would know you don’t technically need carbon at all...
?
U need to clean the rocks u can use a sift and put water on the sift with rocks in it and basically shake the sift I know people have probs already told u
You came a long way...
Ahh ikr XD
Challenge the Wild well done shout out to my trinidadian peeps
Just a heads up. Well water still needs to be dechlorinated, it still has ground metals and runoff in it ;)
Chill out Steve Irwin, you just got a ten gallon
The filter cartridge is in backwards and your water still has chlorine in it
whay you don't use live plants and proflora start
Hello, never force any, kind of fish. Let them come, out by themselves
Then remove the bag out of the Aquarium.
I have the same filter and you don’t need an air pump (mine is on the same size of tank) and it’s crazy overpowerd it’s give the whole tank oxogen but I have a air stone in there
*the walk of a new man*
You can help start up the filter by pouring water into the back of the filter ..
He got one aquarium and it changed his life
I’m sure you will do better next time but do many hobiests are cringing you didn’t cycle the tank before adding fish you should probably wash the gravel before you put it in the tank and you really shouldn’t tip pet shop water into your tank
that song is so dope!what's it called??
Wow you've come a looooong way in only a year! Hard to believe this was only a year ago.
the tank should cycle for about a month or two before adding the fish. You can add api quick start which speeds up the the process but still should take about 10 days. also you should feed sinking pellets because the fish go to the surface and get a gulp of air which can cause buoyancy issues. You did a lot better than most people would have tho
Nice shades dude!!! The fact that you wore them in the gloomy weather is even better!!! Nice lol!!
Have a 10 gallon fish tank myself with one juvenile african cichlid later on this year I'm upgrading to a 100 gallon fish tank
I don't think you even added a heater
He was supposed to wait at least 3 days for the clouding to go away and before adding any fish also he was no to add the water that was in the bag in the tank
you shld have washed the gravel before putting it i the tank and the water is like blueish
U look exactly like this guy called keeping fish simple but he's British. Everytime I see ur guy's videos it messes my brain everytime
This guy: buys fish at petco, doesn’t cycle, fills to capacity
Boy, i know them fish didnt last long. Its a fun hobby though. Hope you've learned the in and outs.
Yea he messed up
the reason it was foggy is because you're supposed to clean the gravel first
I cleaned most of it :) but it gone now new secret video czcams.com/video/L6rwrosHm_s/video.html
oh i didnt know sorry:) @livydance10 is my gmail
0:34 that guy is a mood
I made the same mistake. Although if it makes you feel any better I messed up even worst then you did. I had 3 silver sharks. Didn't cycle anything, Didn't know how big they would get until after I got them. Put some chlorine remover in. 4 day's later and they were dead. Probably suffered but we all live and learn. Now I have a turtle, Soon to be 2 turtles in Two separate 4ft tank's. Gonna have to eventually be 6-8fter's. A community fish tank. 2ft with small guppies, Bottomfeeders and another type I can't remember the name of lol. Fully cycled and my guppies have had babies. Im thinking about getting Shrimp or even some frogs in the community tank.
Wow I hadn’t seen this video before. Your channel has grown so much
you should have airpump so that the water will be oxygen rich and the fish will live healthy
I'm not hating or complaining but you should wait at least 24 hours before you put the fish in so the bacteria can level out
You might wanna get a heater for them, as they are tropical fish
its his first time doing this he doesnt need to be attacked he knows now
Question: How to spot a beginner in the fishkeeping hobby?
Answer: Look for anyone buying their fish supplies in freaking Walmart.
I bought the same tank and fish the same day did yours survive i already have one that died but he was already bad looking before i put it in there
Your suppose to cycle the fish tank for a month before you can get fish in. My betta got sick when I put him on day 1 but he got better. I use filtered water and he loves it
I saw the thumbnail and the kid next to his fish tank and the first thing that came to mind "how many fish did this dude kill in his video?"
I get it he should've cycled the tank, but he don't need to condition it, he said he has well water (no chlorine or harsh chemicals and metals)
Did you even treat the water with tap water condition
Someone please tell me step by step on how to cycle your tank and over all how to set up your tank
Where is the “shrimp highway tube” video please?
U need to rinse the gravel so it’s not cloudy and need to cycle the watrt
I watch this video every day
What kind of water did you use for the fish tank
Is the water just plain water or did he put salt in it or somthing
challenge the wild did you use water conditioner?
