Hi to both of you !!!
I went to your website but I didn't see where I could buy fish.
Please respond because I have had really bad luck lately.
This is not the place to ask, but here it goes anyway, JOhn, I heard your recent podcast on water changes. My question is do you use the same Siccie ultra pump for each tank or do you have multiple pumps to do water changes? Hope this makes sense
I had a paradise male Betta, his name was Nebula. I went ahead and got some albino corydoras, threw them into the bigger tank. Left them in there for a few weeks for quarantine. Neb was in a separate tank, his own quarantine tank. When he was finally ready to go into his real home with the Cory's, he was terrified. He dived down and hid in the corner for an hour. That is, until the corydoras came swimming over to him, in a school. I swear they were going over there to introduce themselves and reassure him that they weren't going to hurt him. When I tell you my betta got along famously with his corydora comrades, I'm not kidding. He LOVED having them in the tank. I would feed Neb first, then drop in the sinking pellets. Neb would always shoot down to the Cory's while they were eating just like "what are you guys having tonight?" It was literally the cutest thing ever, and those initial fish got me hooked in the hobby.
No way! I had a Betta named Nebula too! 👍
Goldfish: “If it fits in mah mouth, it’s goin’ in mah belly. If not, we cool, we cool.”
Pearl gouramis too - Gorgeous fish and extremely peaceful. I kept them with neons and while in my dad's setting angelfish had eaten all of them in the span of a few weeks, when I inherited the aquarium and substituted angelfish with pearl gourami I had no problems whatsoever.
I have pearl gouramis, angels, ruminose tetras and 1 male kribensis and the only one I need to watch closely in the tank is the kribensis.
I love pearl gouramis, but they jump..😢
@@berenicehickey9755 Didn't know that - Maybe 'cause my tank is covered and the lid is a strong dissuasion.
Don’t forget white cloud minnows and cherry barbs they are both an absolute delight, peaceful, and when they are in a good environment their colors will shine ✨.
Cory’s are fantastic! I have 17 in one tank just so I can see different varieties,
Shrimp are awesome little pieces to add to a nano tank and even I got a breeding group going on right now!
Goldfish are the most underrated and best all round fish there is! They are all communal and need only for you to feed them and do water changes. Plus feeding time is like being greeted by a dozen mouths all smacking for some more food!
Danios I have zero experience with but the worst I’ve ever heard is that they can be a bit dartish meaning they could stress out other fish, but they are TINY, about 1.25 inches at the most!
Geos are noble creatures but they need the right environment and can be mixed with other South Americans but not Oscar’s typically, guaranteed clean substrate with these sand movers,
Discus I love but I don’t have the water or the right tank for them, but definitely one of the most eye catching fish there is 😍
Guppies are beautiful but they are cannibals, I blamed an angelfish for fin nipping but after I pulled the angel, the fin nippage got worse not better,
Sorry for my 2 cents just wanted to write this am, love you guys and stay happy and healthy 😊❤️
Story time. Ryukin. I tried to do a coldwater asian tank that included many different types of fancy goldfish. The Ryukin will definitely scarf up fish small enough to fit in their mouth. I can't speak for all goldfish, but that one in particular needs to be kept with fish big enough not to be eaten.
I think it might be a goldfish thing. My comet goldfish eats anything and I mean anything that will fit in his mouth. Smaller fish (he's eaten rasboras, tetras, guppies) he will eat full frozen food and makes sure no one else gets it lol I've seen him eat rocks and algae wafers whole. Goldfish are just cute fatties lol
Anything smaller than my goldfish, it's gone. My goldfish is a monster lol
There was a craigslist ad in my area about a goldfish a guy was trying to rehome because he was aggressive and eating other fish. He didn't supply a picture but I was thinking "Ya, you probably have a Blood Parrot"
I have 3 tanks and my biggest success when it comes to being completely peaceful contains a Severum, an Angel, 3 pearl Gurami and a Wood Catfish. All really peaceful community fish and they go really well together.
I ve had discus for over 15 years now, and they always arrange themselves in hyrearchies and often enough the last one gets a beating... just keep that in mind
We have tetras, Rasboras and dwarf gourami. They get along well
Fancy goldfish are my passion. I obsessed over mine and they reward me with vibrant colors and sparkling personalities. So underrated in our country.
So about the ghost shrimp with the goldfish. I have a 75 gallon planted aquarium with 3 feeder fish that I purchased from PetSmart because I wanted to give them a better life. I’d figure I would get some ghost shrimp too because I thought they would be a good addition to the tank. Let’s just say I’ve never seen goldfish go so crazy about wanting to eat them as soon as they hit the water. They got one of them and I netted the rest of them and moved them to a different tank so that they wouldn’t disappear over night.
Thanks for the awesome video.Keep it up thank you!!
Corydoras are definitely the most peaceful fish in the hobby. Ive never heard one person say they have a mean one. The only problems they cause in my tank is when they try to steal away algae wafers from my mystery snails. Happy easter john and lisa!
Me and my finance love watching you guys ! We’ve recently upgraded to a 55 gallon from a 36 and have even purchased a tidal110 after watching several reviews and videos. Thank you guys for doing what you guys do and for going above and beyond to create this type of content !
peaceful tanks are always great but moving to that next step of a semi aggressive community tank has been the most fun experience for me after over 40 yrs of fish keeping.
My guppy-endler hybrids are flippy flappy and happy campers but I have this ONE rogue , a yellow cobra endler from PetSmart with over the top territorial behavior, always trying to fight and bite the others, male or female. I’ve had to keep him isolated in a planted jar and he acts just like a betta, demanding food, jumping at my finger, and not scared in the least of being alone like a typical endler would. Such a mad lad, I wonder if it’s possible for fish to have dementia or whatnot 😅🤔
I feel I need to “honourable mention” the Severum here. Such a gentle fish and totally beautiful. Nicknamed the “poor man’s Discus” which I dislike as it under sells this fish. My Severum is gorgeous, totally peaceful and a joy to watch.
Great list. Wish the Severum was included but thanks both, love your channel ❤
John I like that you show the fish and do the voice over this hobby is all about the fish and the fish in keeping 😎🪼🪼🎉
A fish person in a pet shop. Once told me corys have a toxin in their spines ! Strange but he sounded like he knew what he was talking about.
Cory Dora’s are the goat of the fish keeping hobby. They are cute, don’t bother anyone, and have a longgg life span so you’ll enjoy many years with them 🥰.
3:59 I had a goldfish that ate all the guppies and bullied all the other fish until they died and then ate the flesh off the body
Four line pimelodus catfish, they will eat anything that can fit in their mouths but other than that they’re sweat hearts.
I love to hear from the woman! She is not so desperate to speak!
the only invert i would consider controlling pop are snails, shrimp are 6$ a piece in my area XD. but honestly the more shrimp the more aquarium i'll have to set-up :P
I have a horror story with my goldfish, I inherited a older fan tail goldfish and tge trouble he gives me is that in the new aquarium I was setting up he kept up rooting the plants I tried growing in my tank every other day I had to replant. And then he ate all my Sylvania that was trying to grow
I've got this 120 liter heavy planted aquarium where I currently have 20 gold tetras.. perhaps I should add 10 galaxy rasboras :D
I didn't know about the podcast. New subscriber!
I don't know what the background song is, but whenever I hear it on a Sunday video I immediately know it's a great video!
Trying to buy some BETTAS can't find them in your store. Also watched your video of your room full of BETTAS & looks amazing.
My Cory used to hid under my pleco ❤️
I have 2 geo's in my malawi tank and they can be pretty agressive.
11:30 A word of warning about guppies; certain sub species such as mosquito fish are extremely aggressive, they were constantly fighting over territory and bullying tiny males into hiding, also rosy red minnows are absolute demons.
What about tetras? I've had 3 ember and 3 black emperor tetras in a 9 gallon with my betta "Nikolai". The embers basically act like they don't exist because they're so docile. The emperors aren't aggressive, but the dominant male likes to hang around Nikolai pretty much all day basically checking him out. It seems about an hour before my lights go out, Nicolai gets annoyed with the attention and decides to flare his gills and chase the bigger emperor fish. At first it was alarming, seeing him try to attack the other fish… Now I'm not really that worried because the other fish are so much faster. Still, I wonder what triggers him to get so upset all of a sudden after being so docile all day long. Sorry for the super long comment!
I'm making a planted tank I bought some Java fern and what other plant do yall suggest I was thinking about getting some gubby grass. Wdyt?
my corys do bump into everyone all the time😄but they are good little guys. I would love some of those red guppies! A red white and blue “patriotic” aquarium would be neat imo
Idk why but.. I love the song in the background, I wish it can be in every video 😆
I’ve have some comet goldfish and they do eat fry. Other than that they’re friendly tho. My Corydoras spawned in with them and they tried eating them. I know this cause I found a comet dead with a baby cory stuck in its mouth. Happened more than once till I removed the comets.
What about rummynose tetras
I must be the only one that had evil guppies,the females bullied the males.
Depends on strain. Some of them are very nasty. I'm not sure why thier on this list.
You two joined on a podcast very cool
I have a few male guppies who hated each other and killed others.
I am gathering info on tankmates for my electric blue acaras?
Yea Corydoras are by far the definition of make love not war lol. I keep hearing in my Facebook Corydoras group that Lineage one is aggressive. I’ve never had them so I can’t confirm or deny it. Those group are full of people that have been doing it longer than me and I fell in love with Corydoras by mistake lol. So who am I to question them, but I find it so hard to believe that any lineage of them could be that dramatically different.
Barbs you need to use caution with....yes, most times they bicker amongst themselves....but you put barbs in with any fancy finned fish, they are going to be harassed, relentlessly. Their behavior resembles cichlids more than tetras, and to label them as semi aggressive can be a bit of an understatement in certain cases. They can also get quite a bit larger than what you typically see them sold as. Take caution if you've got mellow, chilled out fish....On the plus side, theyre always active and make a tank exciting, as healthy barbs are also one of the most stunning fish to observe.
Oh dude! I did NOT know about your Podcast! I am in. Thank you so much. And as always, I LOVE this video. My life is stressful. I cannot have a bully in my fish tank. Can't. So this was perfect for me. lol
I have a mean guppy, killed 8 others in my tank before I moved it to his own tank.
I had a goldfish tank and three or four of them started a gang and killed all of the others in the tank. I've never kept them since
Ooh apart from guppies eating there babbies I swear I've seen my guppies have a go at my ramshorn snails lol , I have also heard of discus go after coreydoras butappart from that what a great list of good fish
Big goldfish Will eat a goldfish if it's small enough to fit in its mouth. I had a huge koi in my 50 gal. tank after all the other koi I had died after having them for many years. I wanted to put some more fish in the tank so I bought 6 baby goldfish. Well, a few days later there were only three and a few days later, there were none. I didn't catch the culprit in the act. I had to wait until he finally died to get new fish, which I now have for four and a half years.
I wouldn’t have clumped up all geophagus and called them peaceful. A lot of geos and gymnogeophagus are on the aggressive to semi aggressive side. Some smaller geos like the tapajos can be more on the peaceful side but the geophagus brasiliensis pictured in your thumbnail is a larger aggressive geophagus. In short do your research when buying geophagus they aren’t all peaceful
Want some other heartbreak free Cichlid choices?
[1] Anomalochromis thomasi. Possibly THE true pacifist Cichlid, and doesn't even turn nasty at breeding time, but colours up beautifully for the occasion.
[2] Laetacara curviceps. Another mellow Cichlid.
[3] Cleithracara maronii. Want something a bit bigger than the previous two? Keyhole Cichlids are again well behaved, but will suit someone who wants a Cichlid companion for Tetras bigger than Lemon Tetras, or for Scissortail Rasboras.
Oh, and if you're looking for a stand out big fish for your 150 gallon or above that has a mellow temperament, try Moonlight Gouramis. Which will team up nicely with a range of other big, sedately moving and mellow fish in your catering sized aquarium. :)
Really went full boomhauer from king of the hill in 4:00
Hey, I have just set up a brand new 5 gallon/20 litre tank and I was wondering how many Neon Tetras can i put with a Betta fish. I have seen a lot of debate on the internet, some say it'll be fine but others say absolutely not, nothing under 15 gallons is suitable for the two species of fish. I am very confused and I don't want to harm any of the fish as this is my first experience with fish and the tank won't be at my house. Also we will only be able to clean the tank every two weeks, so i don't want to make a heavy bioload on the tank. If the two species in a 5 gallon tank can't be done, how many neons could i put in the tank by themselves?
The fish of this list can all live together in the same aquarium, or the bigger would eat the smaller?
The if it fits in it’s mouth it might eat it applies anything could happen BUT the aggression is what they really talking about in this situation
@@dcal587 Thanks for your reply. I guess a combination of the small ones are ok to live together. If they live in same temperatures, and in an aquarium with the proper size of course. I have no idea about the hobby, and I try to learn how to start an aquarium and what fish combinations to use.
What filter and heater would you reccomend for a 20 gallon high?
Try a 50-100w heater and a hang on the back filter
Any good hang on the back filters like tidal or somthing like that@@PTNT_PlushToyIslandTNT
@@scottmalcomson2181 Tidals are good. But most people would say the aquaclear. Your choice
I would put a canester filter on it
Aqua clear if your area doesn't lose power often (they don't like to restart on their own).
Hi I watch your videos almost daily, I have a 75 gal aquarium with a ph of 6.0 and I am trying two APi products they have not raised the ph levels yet. Any suggestions. Thanks
Depending on the fish, u might not have to change the ph
i had a jewel living peacefully with guppies, they were supposed to be food lol, he was just never intrested in them , but recently a stray cat ate him out my pond ;[
I didn’t know neon tetras could be cruel little bugga’s until I put 4 in a tank with a betta, after only 2 days they eat all his fins off overnight, it was so sad
Have you guys made a video on electric blue rams? I think rams are so cute and beautiful. But I struggle with water perameters. I’ve lost my betta first and I just got 2 electric blue rams, their color is a bit faded and they seem very shy. I even added fancy shrimp before my rams and they didn’t live through the night 😢 I’ve tested the water and it’s hg is 180 PH is 8 I know I have to lower the ph but is that the culprit for killing all my fish?
Not exactly on the goldfish- in six grade my homeroom teacher decided to mix comet and ryukin goldfish into a 55g tank that had assorted tetras and other community fish including a betta and that betta was the first one those goldfish tore apart.... yes, tore apart within a day of being introduced into the tank. They slowly over the next couple weeks killed about every fish in that tank. I mentioned to him the day he brought them in not to mix them, he just laughed and three them in. So yes, goldfish can be aggressive towards others under the wrong circumstances.
John you should do a take on Sunfish if u know anything about them
I do miss your faces. Let's do lunch! We can meet halfway... How does Arch and Eddie's in Jackson, Ohio sound? 😂😂😂
Haha, goldfish? Well, one of the first angry(!) customers I had was a man rushing into the store, with a goldfish in a bag, yelling that he wanted to swap it to another one, one that "wasn't stupid!". What that poor fish had been doing? Eating guppys. But yeah, I agree on them being friendly, just the normal "what fit in its mouth can be seen as food".
my geophagus are kinda tasty.. I've never seen them actually fight but they can be a little testy
Guppies killed my betta
what fish is in the thumb nail? is it an ellioti cichlid? or?
My beta did not attack any-fish that I put in with him, even tetras and guppies
I had only one gold fish that fin nip one of my other goldfish they killed it sadly
The corycats I've got are mean they don't bother most of the fish but they have killed two bristles nose plecos so I now don't have a pleco but it's all good corycats are pretty x
2 stories... Just heard some goldfish might've attacked another goldfish in the tank (from Luke's Goldie) and I've had guppies that nipped my Betta's fin and ate my shrimp. I still have guppies, but I don't put them with any other fish, just a big a** golden mystery snail that they don't leave alone. Go figure.
I don't mind the voiceover-only style! I'm fine with either
Just ordered the Oscar shirt and won't be long before a get the Beta one. Any other styles coming?
It'll be a few months before we introduce another new one.
Can we separate the discus pair into a different tank until the eggs are laid then put the parents back with the community after they're done so there's no drama at all .
100% agree with you on the Geophagus, they are such a peaceful species group of fish. Especially for a larger sized cichlid.
They only thing I don’t agree on tho and you didn’t mention them directly but it is your thumbnail and that’s the geophagus brasiliensis.
They are far from peaceful and huge bullies. They actually aren’t even a true Geophagus species.
you haven't had an aggressive Steindachneri then......... Mine killed rams he doesn't like
This is not to say that they are not nice or that they are generally mean.....but I have one 2cm pygmy Corydora that attempted to take a bite out of one of my angels (and almost got eaten for its trouble).
They were in the tank because I'd been struggling to catch the buggers to move them out of the tank lol
3:30 unless a platy comes up tryin to steal the pellet the shrimps eating, watched a ghost shrimp claw him straight it the eye then keep eating.
My friend had a bunch of goldfish and one of them killed and ate all of the others
Love seeing you both, but we know what you look like so if you occasionally just want to do a voice over go for it! Thanks for the education!!
Lol 😂 #2 I have a ton of baby freshwater shrimp 🦐 and they harass my My male Serpae Tetra by shooting across his swimming lane , it’s hilarious 😂!!!
Those discus take my breath away
Nice Boomhauer impression.
Yeah… I try very hard to avoid aggression problems.
Funny, I recently just donated some angelfish I was attached to. It was tough , but im sick of aggression
Angelfish are voracious and will eat any fish fitting their mouths (i.e. neons, cardinals, white clouds, rummynose and even Otocinclus)... I don't like them, rather I'd go for some Apisto or Krib. Plus, when coming with breeding they become aggressive against everything else too, so they are an overlooked pain in the b*tt.
Also African clawed frog, are great
Completely opposite the point of this video......I got the last of what I need to set up my Kenyi Cichlid tank today!!! So excited to get it done!
I have a tank of aggressive fish barbs that act like tiny dogs 🐕.
Good
John I think your fantastic, but please can we have more lida more photo genie and much more soothing vioce xx love you both by the way
Great list and I like to see your faces, though voice overs are a nice change up.
So what you're trying to say is goldfish are the hippies of the fish world that's what it sounds like to me when you put the stats out their kind of sounded like they were the hippies of the fish world
Only one I'll disagree with is geos, I've had many highly strung geos over the years...in fact I have one tapajos geo currently who bullies the other tapajos, my satanopercas and also my younger uaru who are around the same size, otherwise great list!
❤❤❤❤❤
I think voiceovers are cool, but the whole brand recognition is you guys and your faces! I think it helps people to trust your authority more when they see you le face backing up your words 😊
You may not believe this, but I have an oscar and it just wont get along with other fish.
Girlie fish???? Ha! 😊
My goldfish ate my baby plecos 😢
❤
I'm not a fan of the Geos for one reason. They are FUGLY with that long, sloped nose. That said, if you can get past the nose, they can be pretty gorgeous. Especially when they have those long streamers.
