Some great plants there! Thinking about starting up my first ten gallon soon... end of the year. But hey! It's a for sure going to happen!
How do I get aquamarines in petscord
Thamks i needed a salad anyway
@@tinamite22 oòò
My mom surprised me with a betta fish after giving her 200 dollars. She bought it from a pet store and we have a one-gallon fishbowl so we put It in there. But quickly after the first week of having the betta fish, I started to do some research and felt so guilty. Currently, I am planning on setting up my first fish tank 5 gallon set up. Right now I am doing more research on what to purchase and how to cycle a tank, that is how I found this channel.
You can buy beneficial bacteria online to speed up the cycle process
Good luck my boi
The audio of you laughing while editing it, had me ROLLING- LMAOOO
LOL
I am sure that FTR will reach a thousand episodes. Kudos to our bro Chris for creating this fishtastic segment. Our Mondays starts just right. Also please subscribe for more Chris 🐡
Maybe he will get to 1000 FTRs in 19 years.
episode 1000 will definitely be a heck of a mile stone!
THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. This is almost a trend now to make these stupid designer tanks and put bettas in them. I really like how people have raised awareness against goldfish bowls or as we goldfish lovers like to call them goldfish death traps. Most people are or seem to be aware that no living organism can survive without its environmental needs being met. WHY IS IT ANY DIFFERENT WITH BETTA FISH. I don't even like betta fish that much but I DEFINITELY HATE ANIMAL ABUSE.
I have a Betta in my 90 community, he loves it and does amazing with the other fish! And I have a 10 gallon with a Betta and a snail. These fish have amazing personalities and deserve the best treatment!
Designer tanks? Pls expound??
I had a 6 foot tank with 5 angels and a black ghost knife fish, I asked my mum to feed them while I went away, my mum bought 15 neon tetras and 15 cherry barbs…
came back to one fat knife fish.
oh geez
You know what strangely surprised me I bought some guppies like three more to add to the tank hoping that it would cut down the aggression ironically my beta is the most docile.
Put them in and after a week they were blue. Like a sky blue I blew my mind
ohh I've noticed this as well sometimes! I think betta are most aggressive to other betta and other similar temperament and sized fish
I'm really happy that I only had a cat growing up as a kid. Ironically cats are a lot less complicated than fish
The fish hobby is great but it's not great for people living in the inner City. Gets really expensive
I actually found in a way moving to Taiwan was cheaper in the hobby to some degree
I 100000000000 PERCENT AGREEE!! I just finished playing a long round of fetch with my cat and after that i just finished a water change for the fish and then I realized WHY IN THE WORLD DO PEOPLE USE GODDAMN FISH AS PETS BEGGINER PETS!?!? there alive and hard to take care of!
@@catsforlife2491 i agree with some parts but its not just black or white, they use fish as beginner pets when they are 1 or 2 fish in a bowl without filter etc, i dont think the beginners use proper aquariums.
As a person who also sneezes multiple times in a row (the average being anywhere from 5 to 7) I can confirm: it’s an odd existence- and quite strange to explain to people.
"It's scratched to crap! What are they using? Like, a knife?"
Best Chirs quote as of yet 🤣
I love how your videos always make me smile. Thank you so much for that I look forward to them
The best place I have ever visited was the old creek behind the farm that I grew up on.
As a child some 70 years ago I would lay on my tummy head hanging over the bank watching the baby Jack fish, pike, trout, and others swimming around wishing I could catch them.
This past summer I went back and yes as old as I am, I lay on my tummy and looked into the creek and Yep those baby fish were still there.
Probably descendants of the ones I watched as a child.
It was kind of reliving my youth until I tried to get up. For some reason I wasn’t as agile as I used to be even though my mind seem to think it could be. But, I have to admit that laying there and looking at the baby fish that would eventually grow to be a foot maybe a foot and a half long fascinated me beyond reason.
It isn’t often when you’re older that you get to re-visit your child hood fun.
Thank goodness my daughter and grand son were there to help me up.
If not I’d still be there laying on my tummy watching fish. Lol
The day came! Check it off the bucket list! Chirs reviewed my tank!!! 🥳🤣
Congrats!! You've officially made it 🎉🎉
I read this as the day camel 😂😂
@@apss5736 🤣🤣🤣 I can't unsee this now!
Me driving my 3 year old to school every morning, boppin' to "Tetra" feeling gangster.
Seriously, sometimes i think how ridiculous we'd look if we got pulled over....listening to a rap song....about aquariums....
Thank you for getting me into the fishkeeping hobby in a good way bro
np bro! have fun!
just started getting into this hobby thank you for providing informing content ^_^
Glad you enjoy the content Jocelyn :)
Hey Chris, loving your FTR it is our Monday routine after school to watch it (in England) . Actually get a bit upset if my son watches with out me 😕. Keep up the good work 👏
So glad you enjoy and watch with your son! Hope he stops watching without you though xD
Oof Clare i wish my mom liked animals as much as i did lol. Ur a great mom keep it up!! Also what fish do u have??
Chris- Chrs
Shrimp- Shimp
Fish- Fosh
Fish bowls/small tanks- Aquatic animal hell
Milly- Sassy floof ball
Ripashi- Co-host of Fosh For Thought
I have three shimps.
we got our own vocabulary
it's absolutely wild how often people think "surprise" fish are a good idea. my sister was given "surprise" goldfish and they ate her ember tetras. i have made sure that everyone around me knows nothing at all goes in my tanks without my permission or there will be hell to pay.
Hey Chris!
Are you familiar with the concept of a "key"? They usually work both from the inside and from the outside and are quite comon even on room doors in quite a lot of countries and households. That's how you lock a door from the outside.
Man I feel that person with the dad. My tank was at least ciceld but now I got an guppy problem, thanks to my mom and a second aquarium only for the male guppys.
ah darn... yeah I used to have this problem too.
I interrupted a sales conversation in the LFS today - not in a major way, but just throwing out a comment as I walked by. The person was talking about having given away a male fish because it wouldn't stop chasing the female, in his 10g tank. They were standing in front of the molly tanks, and the staff started talking about the 2:1 ratio of females to males. And I said, real quick, "...or just keep females and males separately so you don't have to worry about the babies over running your tank! They each do fine on their own..."
yeah, for real that was my plan at first. because my dream was only some snails and then one little fish group nothing big (it is an 54l ~14usgallons tank) only male or female and well parents with the "there so alone that is sad bla bla bla" sudely guppys in my tank.
My dad bought cory and a pleco for my 10g betta tank once 🙃
Chris, you said I'm missing a Cory gang, I have 5 salt and pepper Cory's! 🤣, They are amazing hiders
LMAO! My bad! That's awesome they're totally expert hiders haha very nice choice
@@FishForThought I have thought long and hard, and decided to forgive you! I have an awesome pic of 2 of them resting on my tiger lotus!
Feeling guilty because my poor betta has been living in a small plastic storage box (25 litres) for like a year. It started as a quarantine because he got fin rot, but I've never managed to get it cleared up and so I didn't dare put him back in the tank where other fish lived. I finally just decided to get a 60 litre aquarium for him to live alone, maybe that will help his recovery or at least ensure some quality of life. Setting it up this weekend, can't wait for it :)
Best place I've visited out of country: The Yucatán peninsula in Mexico - so much Mayan history, lot's of beautiful nature and fun nature/adventure parks to visit.
In Sweden: I would have to say northern Sweden around where the mountains are at, or the National Park of Storforsen which (usually) has lots of small creeks running off this huge rapid and big smooth rocks in between which you can sit on and sunbathe while you picnic. Always great for a summer visit, bring some bathing suits so you can drop into the larger pools.
0:39 ... Chris talking about viewers in various countries
Chris' Caption: "I am geology"
Me, scrolling the comment section 18 hours later: "How has no one given him a hard time for mixing up geology and geography yet? Am I the first to notice? Am I the new Highlander?"
2:28 Ah yes that movie had traumatized me
Hey Chris! I think it would be really helpful for beginners like me if you started circling or putting an arrow to the plants that you are talking about when you start listing off what’s in the tank. That way these videos can be both educational, entertaining, and hilarious - ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
I find myself watching these videos mostly for fun, but watch your other videos and some other CZcamsrs for education. It is hard for newbies who are searching for scapes that appeal to them to know what plants you’re talking about without having to use google!
This FTR is hilariously good, I laughed the entire time
thank you! So glad you enjoyed :)
The hair snake would be a cool idea if it was fake. You could have a rubber snake with a wire inside and wrap it around your ponytail.
Chris' song is so catchy it has literally invaded everything to do with fish for me like every time I feed my cory's I'm like "my cory gang so loyal" or every time I see a black skirt tetra "black tetra go skirt"
From time to time I sneeze trough my mouth too. And when that happens it goes on and on, because it gives no relief.
The glass on my old tank was all scratched up but that was because of the pillars of sandstone caves I had stacked up for the crabs I had to get out of the water.
Luckily I've never had to deal with my mom suprising me with fish, she has her own and refuses to get anymore because she doesnt want an overcrowded tank. Plus I have a betta, she knows that my little guy needs to be alone, at least fish wise. I've said that I want another betta (in a separate tank, of course. I want two 20 gallon so I can try and focus on some good hardscaping) and she instantly looked at me like I had two heads, she was worried where I would find the room, and I explained to her that Walmart has a fish tank rack that holds two 20 gallons, and I've been wanting it for a while now
i set up a shallow tank last week which hold only 3 gallons then when my fam saw they said why don't put a betta or a "small GOLD FISH" and so I put in a tiny pinky nail size snail
i killed duckweed in my 30 liter aquarium
just picked every little leave with my tweezers off XD
I litterally mean EVERY LEAF XD
This was dedication to get it duckweed free
2:27 I'm pretty proud of that reference ;)
I'm so happy you stuck with QOTW! I wish I could travel to Japan and split the time there between relaxing in nature and hot springs, and the rest splurging at all the shops 😍
Dude! I get the sneezing thing! I sneeze 5 times minimum and literally got sent to the principal's office in middle school over it....it was allergy season😂
QOTW: so this doesnt really count because i used to live there for teh first 10 years of my life but the best place ive ever traveled to was Grenada. Gorgeous beaches, great vibes, nice people
I make over 10 sneezes in one sitting. It's an iconic thing from me and everyone expects more sneezes
I've traveled a little bit (not nearly as much as I'd like to, tho.) I think my favorite so far was when I went to Oahu, Hawaii with my school's marching band in my freshman year of high school. We stayed in Waikiki & the beaches there were UNREAL. I'm from North CA, (specifically Wine Country/the Bay Area,) & while the water there is pretty, it's also very cold & has deadly rip-tides, so it's not super swimmable for anyone without the proper gear/training/experience.
But MAN, swimming at Waikiki's beaches? UNFORGETTABLE. Warm water, great visibility, gentle waves, and even FISH and SEA TURTLES!!!! I spent literal hours in the ocean, almost all of the unscheduled time we got during our trip. I swam beside a sea turtle & I could stand up on sand-banks that were pretty far from shore if I got tired. It was life-changing, I can't wait to swim in waters like those again someday...
Chirs: (sneezes infinity times)
Me: Ah, yes, he is allergic to lack of Repashy..
and milly xD
Most people: yay I got a betta let’s put it in the smallest tank that I can find
FFT: Bro wtf nooo that poor betta
everyone else too, same reaction xD
During summer days i take my central American boa out when I 4un some errands (i live in a small town ppl love it) and his favorite spot to chill is around my poney tail🤣🤣🤣
I loved Paris but excited to go to Ghana next year!
Hey Chris hope you have a wonderful day
One time my dad bought crawfish to eat, and I told him to not put a crawfish in my 5 gallon tank … luckily he didn’t. But he found snails in the bag they came in so he threw them into my tank and it took FOREVER To get rid of all of the snails (I think they were just common ram horn snails?)
Word to every fish for thought is the first channel to do fish tank reviews!
That thumbnail got me 😂 the head tilt with the tilted tank and confusion on your face is gold.
Glad I found your channel.
haha xD I actually didn't realize I was tilting my head for the thumbnail but it worked out!
I just had a thought that Chris should one day have a Reality TV show called "Flip that Fish" where he is invited to intervene with fish keepers with disgusting or poorly decorated tanks. He sits down with them, troubleshoots their problems. And at the end reveals the refreshed, clean, and expertly decorated fish tanks.
I had a teammate who sneezed like you, except a bit more. We made a game out of it couning number of sneezes in a row. His max was something over 50 in a row and it looked painful towards the end.
I've been trying to get chirs to review my tank for so long now lol. That an't affecting how often I watch his videos though. Keep it up. Also, Can you do an update on the old ecosphere?
Thank you! Yeah unfortunately since there's so many submissions it's just not possible to review each and every tank but there's always a chance!
There's some videos coming out soon that will have ecosphere updates! :)
@@FishForThought Can't wait for the new videos!
9:57 That statement made my day. I’m serious that got me dying of laughter. I can not. 😂
Ayyyyee sponsorship, let's goooooooo!
I've been to a lot of places but my 2 favorites are the Olympic rainforest, in Washington state, and Big Basin national park with its giant redwoods. 💕
Thank you!
Wow olympic rainforest sounds awesome... There's some redwoods where I live in canada but I woudn't call them giant! That sounds cool as well :)
I also sneeze like a machine gun especially when my allergic rhinitis is triggered. It's annoying when it's multiple times in a row; I run out of air. I'm inclined to think that I might develop abs from all the sneezing. lol
“How do you lock your bedroom from the outside?” Lol with a key. 😅
I sneeze a ton of times in a row, but its about ten times as loud and powerful, so its REALLY annoying. But overall, I have the opposite problem. When I cough, it sounds like a sneeze. I've been blessed for so many coughs...
One time, I was away for a few months and I came back to my 5 gallon planted fish tank, completely dumped out (it takes time and $$ to develop a mature planted tank), replaced with painted rocks, fake plants/decor and at LEAST 10+ fish- who I alone had to watch die one by one over the next 2 weeks.
Though I’m grateful he introduced me to the hobby as a young kid, my knowledge and experience with tank had far surpassed his now. it felt like I had been completely disrespected and trampled over.
My dad got mad at me for being upset, while the rest of my family defended him because he was trying to “do something nice”
Jesus Christ, that sounds awful. How is the tank now?
That betta tank is pretty good, I put a bunch of aquatic plants in the front of the tank to filter out ammonia and nitrates and a bunch of sponges and activated carbon at the bottom layer filter of the tank.
Works great, alot better to display fish than the bottles they use here to display fish.
"I have so much algae"
"How long do you keep the light on?"
and
Me, upon seeing some scary colors on a test strip: When was your last water change?
Customer: uh...
are just a daily part of life now
welcome to suffering. 😔
The best place I’ve traveled to is Aquarium Co-Op!
A couple of years ago I traveled to the Philippines. Where we stayed for two weeks. It was beautiful because we where on a small island and it had an awesome beach but was not to crowded. But I have also been to Italy, Spain and Switzerland which where great.
QOTW: Japan. In castle's garden (some castles have it), there're always koi, and you can feel at peace in a beautiful place with beautiful fishes.
My favourite places I’ve been is skiing at Lake Tahoe when I went to the US on a school trip and visiting my cousins when they lived in Finland, I also like where they live now in Germany. The places I really want to travel to are Japan, Korea and Thailand.
around 4:19 - I literally had a DREAM that my mom did this to me and put a bunch of random fish in with my betta in a tiny 3.5 gallon and I was even angry at her after I woke up
Thank you. My week did get betta!
That guy must be using CO2 or something because that first tank is just amazing
ikr!
Same energy, when your sibling says “Stop breathing so loud”
when u feel the sneese coming, just pinch your nose holes shut. if not eliminating, cuts sneese down by 85%. try it.
Mondays are so much better with FTR! Thanks Chris!
YES, if I AM nervious, I would caugh, followed by a lot of sneezes and then coughing at the same time, sending me to gasp for air after a few. IDK what it is but doctor says emotional, is temporary, will go away, has not gone away 2 years later , so I try to not get reactions from situations, best mnedicine.
hey man you have found your niche and it has worked well for your channel. only makes sense that others would immolate it. if you have haters or clones than you are doing something right lol
The fact that they gad a their green onion in an old plastic tea/lemonade bottle said a lot about the condition of their tank.
Chirs: How do you lock a room from the outside?
Keys: Am I a joke to You?
chris u should get a tank with lots of red shrimp and one white crown tail betta for the rumbling
The sneezing in a row I call sneeze attacks. I understand your pain ❤ allergic to everything under the sun
George Farmer is a wonderful scaper and fantastic human being. Have had him respond to all of my comments on his channel. I was so surprised he did that. I am at last 100 percent duckweed free. First time in years and it feels so wonderful.
I'm telling you man I went to the scary frightening fish shop got the best bait I could find though and an amazing beautiful anubias barteria which are usually like 500 NT. I'm thinking it's like 20 US dollars. It's I know it's cheap in the States but not when you're living in Taiwan
And I wanted to get some floaters and but there was a ton of anubias duckweed just all around the floaters and I'm like nope not touching that
But I did do is buy a bunch of red stem plants so they can grow out and I'm using them as like a floating island along with some wastyria
I have 2 beta's that I actually love very much, but I feel very inadequate after watching this. My betas have real plants and lotus flowers to rest on, and I like to make sure they have mopani wood in their tanks. But I bought them pure betta beads just to place in the corner of their tanks for some fun, but I feel inadequate cause I used "fish rocks" on the bottom! I will now be removing them all and adding more plants!
"How do you lock your room from the outside?"
Well... with a key :))
in the Netherlands its around 3 o clock.
I want to visit Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. anywhere like that really, see those dutch style aquariums, lol
You lock a room from the outside by buying a doorknob with an outside key hole. Like the front door.
The small snake is a juvenile green tree python.
Chris you always make my day a little bit betta
Oh my goodness the intro for the Koi fish had me dead ☠️
The best place I’ve traveled to is the Gold Coast in QLD Australia.
Sadly I’ve never been over seas, but if I were to go I’d definitely love to go to America, Europe, and Japan.
highyl recommend japan! also want to go to europe one day :)
“How do you lock a lot from the outside?”
Bro forgetting how locks an keys work lol
10:40 We just found the Ripper-Algae.
Kills Algae With A Freaking Knife 🔪 And Brutally Murders All Algae.
The best place i have been was coral bay 14 mile camp because its better than when i flew over to melbourne
QOTW: There is this aquarium pet display place. I am not exactly sure what to call it. Let’s call it a pet zoo, it displays pets, including fishes. GOD I WANT TO GO TO THAT PLACE, THEY HAVE FISHES WITH GOOD CARE, DOGS, CATS, IGUANAS, EMUS, BALL PYTHONS, BUNNIES AND MORE. It is like HEAVEN for me.
wow they have dogs and cats too? That's quite impressive, if done ethically!
I wish aquarium coop would send to europe, i need those green tubed sponge filters
When you buy duck weed hoping it'll take off in your aquarium and your goldfish eats at all
Chirs I’m sorry but that 4.45/5 rating for the tank at 8:45 is diabolical , it’s at least a 6.5/5
The sturgen hit the car reminds me of that Simpsons episode
ChrisM, the one that sent in green hell, I just wanna say your tank looks like if you were to shrink down into the middle of a lawn. Giant grass growing tall with a mix of other small plants and weeds or even moss growing low to the ground. I like it :). “HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS!”
I sneeze like that except manlier… think I get it from my dad. And my corn snake used to wrap around my hair lol
We can make a meme out of that hand at 1:30
I think that snek at the end is a juvenile green tree python!
Also QOTW: the galapago. Incredible, incredible place
To answer QOTW, best place I've been to is Okinawa, Japan. Extremely good food, nice nightlife, very nice views and best thing, i went to the aquarium with the whalesharks. SO AMAZING!
Chris : with suppressed sneeze sound
I dont think there has ever been a FTR before where Chir's hair is different from usual and has no other co host !Its a special day today !
haha I just let my hair do whatever it wants xD you're right it does look kinda different this episode though...
