PLEASE NOBODY DO THIS!!! IT IS NOT HOW YOU SET UP AN AQUARIUM!!!

May this man reincarnate into a betta fish at Petco.

Fishkeepers: 😨 Ichthyologists: 😨 Aquarium lovers: 😨 Literally everyone: 😨

I know he’s dead but I want to say this. This “freshwater” puffer is a green spotted puffer, which is a brackish species (needs a mixture of salt and freshwater). Plus’s it also needs a tank size of at least 150 liters.

Bro bought a fish to give it a death sentence

Dude, the second he said, “Now I’m going to Walmart to get a cheap tank,” I literally practically died

Bro towards the end I was waiting for him to say it’s a joke

Bro forgot to buy the water filter 💀💀

Aquarium owners who know how to set up a tank right: 💀

Bro acclimated that fish for a solid 5 seconds

I know everyone in the comments is saying that he’s doing it wrong. Another thing no one has mentioned is that you’re supposed to leave your tank running as if they were fishing it empty for 2 to 3 days. He didn’t do that. He just plopped the fish right in.

Colored stones can actually hurt and likely kill it

How to get bullied by the internet: How to keep a fish for a day:

Never put your self on a budget for an animal it often turns out for mistreatment and trauma

I've seen the follow-up videos to this. Joe did a good job by realizing that he made a mistake and tried to correct. I would recommend people take a look at his improvements, even though it did end in a tragedy. I'm proud of him for owning up to his mistakes, rather than trying to cover it up. If you watch his other videos, you will see that he actually tried to take your advice to care for his pet. Good job Joe, just try to do some research and don't be afraid to contact a keeper or breeder for advice. We actually want to help new hobbyists.

Bro should name him, “kill me” 😂

How to torture a fish :

I really hope you actually have a permanent setup for this fish. They require at least a 30 gallon. And you need to feed them frozen/life foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp

Him: “How I got my first fish tank setup” proceeds to kill a puffer

The literal definition of the more you listen/look the worse it gets.

“I found this cheap 1.5 gallon starter tank!” Literally killed me. Don’t buy tiny tanks please! Especially for bettas btw. (Also I recommend a planted tank but if that’s out of your budget atleast try to make it look planted for the fish’s sake)

If your budget is 50 dollars DONT GET A FISH

It looks like the miniverse clown fish tank💀

This is so painful to watch. That puffer fish will need a bigger tank in the future at least 15x larger the tank you have. Next you didn’t even get a filter which you need to run about an entire week before actually adding fish in. That is animal abuse. If your budgets lower than 50 dollars, don’t buy a fish!

Yeah, you should really get him a 30 or 40 gallon.

Nah mans violated that fish

Every fish owner who bows something: 😱💀

Pufferfish:🙂 Human:"gives a death sentence"

A puffer needs at least 20gal 😭

U kinda need the bacteria cycle to start before adding fish. Now there might be a bad spike in ammonia that might kill it

That fish will literally die in a couple of days. It’s a brackish water species and needs a tank of 150 litres, not 10 litres. Nobody set up a tank like this. It’s not good for fish and this guy has done no research what so ever. It is extremely cruel.

If you or somebody are interested in getting a fish, please do actual research. This guy obviously does not know what the hell he is doing. The puffer should not be in a one and a half gallon aquarium. It should at least be in a 10 gallon the pea puffer grows to be about 1 1/2 to like 2 inches so come on now, and just because it’s freshwater does not mean it don’t require salt because it do. They prefer slightly acidic water and densely planted tanks with a fine sand substrate fish is going to mistake the rocks for clams which it eats. Please do your research.

You need to wash the gravel first just a suggestion

Bro thinks setting up that sh*tty aquarium is satisfying

He ain’t gonna live long enough for you to name him dude 💀

Your fish is really cute but I recommend getting a bigger tank and get a filter. Maybe like a 15-20 gallon. I also recommend live feeding like shrimp. ☺️

This is a gsp (green spotted puffer) and they’re not fresh water they’re brackish if you don’t know was that is it’s a mixture of fresh and salt water.

If you have a 50$ budget to invest in a pet, why even try. It’s like investing 50$ into toys, food, treats, bowls, kennels, collars, and leashes for a dog. It just doesn’t work

ok but i have some questions and a suggestion, are u planned on upgrading the tank?bc u need to. also add live plants it helps them sm, and their most the time cheaper than fake plants.

Bro needs 30 gallon tank, clean the water to keep your puffer fish alive

Me: *sighs* *checks comments*

Bro gave it a death sentence. 💀

Everything that’s wrong with this: no acclamation, no space for fish, did not wash Gravel, did not wash plants, aquaculture is the worst.

Bro pufferfishes need a lot of space and don’t forget to feed him live or frozen fish and they need an pump and filter…

You killed that fish smh

“Duhh, hE wAs A litTLe NerVoUs aT fIRsT” Of course, lil bro was like, “No, this SUCKS”

i ran to the comments when i heard cheap tank and 1.5 gallon

dude got a 1.5 gallon tank and filled half of it up with gravel

Bro why did you get a puffer as a beginner fish

Fish keeper honest reaction: 😮😐😥😢😨😰😡🤬

I would be nervous too if I was a fish that got treated like that💀💀

Also no heater or filter or cycling means hella ammonia build up

I'll name him rip 🙏 as he won't last 5 min with someone that put that little research into getting fish

Sure you can catch fish, but you definitely suck at keeping one alive

A fresh water pufferfush is one of the hardest rush to keep

Please get a live plant ten or 30 gallon

You need at least a 20 gallon fish tank for that thing🐡

Better $50 budget set up; buy a walmart 10 gal for $15 tractor supply gravel for $5 food and water dechlorinater for $10, filter for $10, a plant or two for $10, have patience to wait two weeks for the tank to cycle, go and catch wild minnows for free.

Bro dint even think about cycling the cycling he did was setting up the tank💀

- Green spotted puffer as a beginner - To small tank, requires at least 30 gallons - NOTHING was cycled - No water conditioner that I saw - No live plants - Most likely it’s living off of flakes right now instead of a variety of foods like brine shrimp and bloodworms Do some research before you start a fish tank guys.

NEVER DO THIS!!!! You should get that fish at least a 15 gallon tank for it has some room I like to think about it as if it is a apartment would you like to live in a area half you size or would you like to have space

Poor fish, he looked so happy before to go to jail 😢

“And i found this 1.5 Gallon starter kit for only 25$” *HEhEheheE*

Fish require at least 30 gallon tank

Name him dead because he won’t last long. Do some research before making such poor choices man. If you need direction let me know because this isn’t the way to do it not hating but genuinely concerned for the fish

His name should be Lil puff

This is so good! I planned on spending at least $500 but if I can spend only $50 for EVERYTHING!! I know my kids will love this instead, lol🤭

Animal abuse. Fish are not a cheap pet and should be treated as such

Hi there! I just want to say that you should have planned and researched this pufferfish. I have no idea how to keep brackish water fish but this is not how you do it. All I know is that you need to cycle your tank and get a bigger tank. I mainly keep saltwater but I hope this helps a little bit!

The aquarium would be over 50 by itself

A fish is a real living animal, why would you risk its health/life just so you can say that you set up a fish tank with only $50?

You should have waited atleast 2 weeks to put him in cuz of chlorine, ammonia, and among other things but he should be alright Also change the water about every month or so

This green spotted pufferfish need brackish water, and there aggresive

If you want a proper tank you need to at least spend 150 dollars

Use the Aqueon 50% off sale to get a 20 gallon for $25, then get a pump and sponge filter for $15, dig dirt in your yard for substrate and wash/dry in sun for $0, go to a local pond pulling plants up by roots for $0, finally buy guppies for $10 and unlock the unlimited fish glitch with breeding.

Please, nobody should ever do this. The tank has to be established prior to fish being introduced. Also, literally any research on the fish you buy would be wise. Requirements, diet, temperature. This fish did not live long. Ignorance is also animal abuse.

that green spotted puffer isn't purely freshwater it's brackish water!

They should have not sold him that fish. They asked no questions huh.

That pufferfish lasted 1 day only😂

Bro probably got that water straight from a tap and didnt put water safe in💀

That tank needs to be cycled and it needs to be significantly larger like 10x bigger

Guys! Stop attacking him for not setting up the tank properly! It’s his first fish! Calm down! He could’ve done a little research but it is his first fish so he didn’t know! Stop attacking him!

His name should be lil puff

Let’s name him Elmo from Sesame Street

Name him delicacy because that’s what he’s gonna be if you leave him in that tank for too long

Those puffer fish need at least 5 gallons like a betta don’t ever put any fish in a bowl or small aquarium always do your research and get the things needed like with my aquarium I made sure to get all of the needed supplies after days of researching and I took the set up of my tank step by step and my fish is nice and healthy I have a 10 gallon tank for one betta with a heater filter and aquarium pump with live plants and natural decorations no rainbow gravel I use white river pebbles or regular river pebbles and I feed my betta good healthy food not no pebbles that they can choke on

When he said 1.5 gallon tank i knew there was no hope what-so-ever

Yeah nervous because you acclimated it for 3 seconds 💀😭

Heres a rule of thumb, if you can fill up the whole tank with a few cups of water, it's probably too small for fish

Sometimes you can get bigger tanks secondhand for less money than in stores. Just clean them well

bro , dude , brosef , a betta needs 5 gal at least , dont u think a puffer needs more than one gallon !

1. you should building's spongebobs house, castle etc, 2. TANK IS WAY TO SMALL! 3. don't buy only 1 fish you should buy 2 so the 1 dosent get lonely

Name him “I need more gallons of water”

My brain just died

If you have $50 don’t buy a fish.

Nice you just give that poor puffer the death sentence

You know that a budget for a fish isnt 50€ but 100€+

1) The average aquarium needs AT LEAST 1 week of being setup with no fish, so it accumulates helpful bacteria. 2) Freshwater pufferfish are literally the worst beginner fish to buy for someone who has no clue what they’re doing. These guys live in brackish water.

⚠️DOO NOT SET UP TANK LIKE THIS GUY⚠️Poor little fish. No fish does not deserve this! If you want to buy a fish with only 50$ than your only option isn’t to buy the smallest aquarium you can buy a bigger used one fore cheap. Fake plants can be more expensive than real ones. And please just buy normal sand it’s healthier because it doesn’t contain femicals and there’s not that big of a price difference. If you want to by a fish or a pet in general than you need to provide what it needs!!!

hi may i know what type of water you used?
