A 5/5? 🥶 I thought I'd never see that

Yikes, if that ecosphere is not a joke, that betta will die FAST

Bettas in tiny vase: STRONK My betta in a cycled 6 gal: i have fin rot :(

a horror story that I experienced yesterday. I work at a pet store and do a lot of things there, casher, caretaker of the fish and rodents, and helping customers. But mainly I take care of the fish because surprise almost nobody knows anything about fish. Well, back to the story I had to take over the casher because my college had her break. There was a boy ( around 12), his sister (around 8), and his father in my line that bought around 10 goldfish. The boy was shaking with the cart wildly because he thought it was funny to give fish concussion >:( it's not. The father told him to stop it, but he was busy with his bored daughter. After i helped the last customer they were at my casher. I was so angry and wanted to slap that child so bad, but I will not let myself sink to the level of a fish abuser. I said with a polite but warning tone that he shouldn't do that because it's stressful for the fish. His father agreed and told him that he had to stop now. He finally stopped clearly taken aback that I said something, but for he left the store I heard him say "who cares about fish they can't feel anything and are dumb, i want a dog" I hate this kid..........

Me - *trying to sleep* Brain -remember how bad ur first tank was?

When a karen puts 15 male bettas in a .25 gallon bowl with barf gravel, a pink plant, and unchlorinated water: "Look at them they are so happy and THRIVING. They are all kissing and LOVING each other!" 2 minutes later: "They all lived long, HAPPY lives."

Im proud to announce that after months of saving and bargaining with parents, my betta will soon be relocated from his 2.5 gal to a 10 gal!

Sup Chris, I turned 15 today. I just wanted to thank you for introducing to fish tanks and proper fish keeping.

Chris: we are gonna keep making fish tank review until there is not one [bad tanks]left * years later* Chris: hello guys, this is fish tank review number 27735142293745274837782, im 97 years old and my death wish is for you all to stop, please, stop the fish abuse

Me finding self cloning snails: oh no not this again... My crayfish in the aquarium across the room: oh yes! This again!

Props for chris for making our mondays 100x better with the FTR

Chris' mission to do ftr until bad fish keepers disappear. This is one fierce guy

Cap - a lie Capping - lying No cap - no lie I wanna die no cap

'Fish that are lying on the substrate are going to die' - corydoras and plecos: 🙄

Ep.100 should be just good fishtanks

Everyone stops making bad fish tanks: No more ftr Me: "I know what i have to do, but i dont know if i have the strength to do it"

It’s funny to me that Zebra Muscles have been a huge issue in Lake Michigan (grew up in Chicago) forever to the point that a lot of the beach is just tiny shells but now that it’s made it’s way into the pet trade suddenly everyone is super worried about Zebra Muscles. Like yep. Thanks. They’re already a problem this isn’t new

0:23 Chris:HOW ARE THERE THAT MANY BAD FISH TANKS!? me: you’re still in one Reddit group...

This is why Ultron was the most reasonable villian,it just browsed the internet for a couple of seconds and after wanted to kill the human race.

I'm fine with being the mom of Chris if that means that Repashy and Rosé are my grandchildren

When you're so early repashy hasn't even gotten to the comments yet ( repashy owns the channel if you new people don't know )

Chris: explaining how to treat a fish correctly. Karens: So can I put it in a bowl?

when i was little i went to the eye doctor and in the waiting room they had this absolutely amazing fish tank that was about 5 feet long it had some guppies and goldfish and lots of other fish it also had great plants and rocks and was overall awesome 🤩

Me seeing a fancy creature: "damn this flamin fishy so lit" Also me sniffling with my rummy nose cause the restaurant said they are today's special: ಥ‿ಥ

I am fairly new to fish keeping (proper fish keeping) and I am not too proud of my first tank i got when I was 11. Completly overstocked, no heater and fed terrible food... I kept on wondering why my fish were dying. I dont hate myself too much, my parents kinda gave it to me without me knowing how to properly take care of fish. I am now 15 and i recently i got my first 10 gallon (that is actually planted!) . I have 3 dwarf frogs and 4 female guppies in it and they are doing amazing. This is the first video of yours ive seen and i plan to learn from it as much as i can :)

Thanks for the review. I have a lot to learn and this helps a lot. I will try feed them less, try to be consistent with the 8h light on ^.^ and get a 2nd tank so that one inst overstock. I will send an update when I feel it as improved a lot as it already is a bit different now. Thanks☺️ (Tyler Reis)

"Your Betta survived 2020, will it survive 2021?" Best sad but true quote I have ever heard...

Me: about to check my moss ball for zebra mussels... Also me: *realizing I've had my moss ball for 3 years with no problems*...

i remember when i was little i really wanted a fish. so we went to a local pet store and found this BEAUTIFUL red and blue betta fish. we named him Kubo. he lived in a small fishbowl probably less than a gallon for about a year or so, then we had a HUGE upgrade. instead of this little fishbowl he now had a 7.5-gallon tank with lots of vegetation and very good filtration all to himself. he then live for another 2 and a half happy years in that tank.

Take a bathroom, remove everything but the toilet, and imagine yourself living in there. ✨The life of a fish abusers fish✨

"That's right you have a boy, you're a mom now" OMG I'M SO HAPPY AND PROUD 😭

I bought more pygmy corys yesterday Chris. You need to keep them, they are adorable.

Chris : taking time of his life to teach us about fish Haters (Karen's) : I cAn JuSt PuT iT iN a BoWl Me:bruh

I’m curious if there are people watching that don’t have a fishtank

Karen: I'm here to buy my son a fish tank! Worker: Ok, you'll need a ten gallon tank, natural substrate, and preferably some live plants! Karen: (Off looking at some rainbow pebbles and a lightbulb for the betta

Me: perfectly happy with my aquarium *Watches FFT* Me: I need a planted aquarium!

My friend has some Betta fish in three gallons tanks with like barely any plants, and colored gravel. After a *civil discussion* they agreed to try and find some ten gallon tanks for the fish. They've already sourced one or two tanks, and I said I would give one that I had laying around, but they live in Canada and I live in the USA, specifically southern USA

oh wow, I didn't realise how big clown loaches got! The pet store sold us like 3 of them for a 20 gallon tank to eat snails :( poor fish. If only I knew better back then, I was a young kid at the time. 1 of them lived for quite a few years and was one of my favourite fish

@6:29 the Dutch market place is called Marktplaats. and they probably only put the guppies in there for the photo. BTW I am dutch and in the Netherlands there is not a lot of fish abuse.

I *am* a mom with sons older than you, so okay, "hi, kid!" lol

So agree with the clown loach issue, I've taken in about 10 over the past year and have put them in the tropical pond, most over them are like 10inchs and most had been kept in a 50gal 😑

"Because I'm dead inside" Same bro

As your new mom, I just want to let you know I'm not like other moms, I'm a cool mom.

Even though I have a reef tank and have no knowledge of freshwater you are the only fish KZfaqr that I watch...

No cap means "I'm not lying" 😂😂😂 omg

Chris: Whats up guys? It's your boy Chris that's right you have a boy. You are a mom. Me being a boy: Why can't I be your dad

I like how Chris says he has no idea what no cap means but still used it in one of his songs.

I started using well water in my 60 gallons after some test to figure it's safe... The fish seem soooo happy .

11:17 those "fish" pellets looked almost the same size as my turtle's food

I’m new here so I’m not sure if you e already done this but could you make a quick video that has all the things you DO recommend for the optimal beta tank? I’ve never put real plants in myself (I know nothing) and would love to learn, especially if it’ll make my fish happier and healthier.

The new tank set up in the back gives such a nice vibe :D

Karens: Spend no money on fish Me: Spends hundreds on 16 ct fish Karens: *shook* WHERE IS THE MANAGER

i didn’t have a flame tetra, but i used to have a firefish goby! i know those are saltwater but in the four years i had him, he seemed to be very happy! he was kept in a 10 gallon tank with two other fish, a shrimp, and a crab! the firefish was named fireblade, like from fruit ninja lol, he was super cool and i was very sad that we had to give him back when we moved :(

If this channel had the subscriber count it deserves, there would be no more fodder for fish tank review because the cycle of ignorance would finally be broken. Thanks for the content, dude. 👍

Chris: Whoa! That's brighter than my future Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ay chris i got a kinda cool idea. i was thinking maybe u should add a little clip of any of ur pets the end of a fish tank review

Okay about the zebra mussels in the Moss balls it is only Moss balls from a certain country in a certain area that are possibly infected with zebra mussels other ones have come in clean. It is very possible that this local pet store might have a supplier that is not infected by the zebra mussels. It is very important to find out where their sources from before you put somebody on blast, especially on the internet. The reason why it became a well-known widespread problem was because two major companies Petco and PetSmart we're paying for these to be shipped in from one particular distributor. Part of the reason to go to Mom and Pop and local businesses is they don't always have the same Supply chains as the big box retail stores. A lot of these mom and pop shops and far go out of their way to make sure they have good supply lines. Places like aquarium Co-op sit here and try to Source plants they know are hard to get in the Wild by funding local farmers to make them.

Zebra mussels have actually been a problem in our waterways for quite some time now. What's new is they're getting into moss balls and the aquarium trade in general.

Still waiting for the day when Chris browses the FishforThought subreddit, in the hopes that he'll see my post about a plastic ohko stone with plants decoration lol

Chris when people say no cap it means there not lying "Cap" means like lying So "your capping" is the same as "your lying" but when people say "im not capping" there saying there not lying

Chris looks like he hasn’t had enough coffee for today

The gravel vacc is so funny to me because I have three dwarf puffers, and one of them is always so curious and, despite my best efforts, that one specific puffer has gotten sucked up three times

The french come out of nowhere 😂(between that your french is sophistiquée vraiment 👍)

Thank for making my Monday amazing with ftr Chrissy

if anyone was wondering what 'no cap' means: when you speak with all caps LIKE THIS, it looks like you're exaggerating. So speaking something with 'no cap' technically means "i'm not exaggerating". over time "i'm not exaggerating" turns into "i'm not lying" since they mean similar things. so 'no cap' means 'i'm not lying'.

Me: Feels bad about my betta's tank Me after seeing ftr: Wow, my betta has a pretty decent life compared to those bettas

When you're actually early for once: : suprised pikachu:

I can't stop staring at the rescape of the ADA. Also it's so sad my friend has this baby musk turtle she is treating it great but she is keeping it in an ada and I'm so jealous cause it's beautifully planted and the musk is so adorable I have a red eared slider in an 70 gal storage container with half dead water lettuce. Sigh

Anakin Skywalker: I used pink gravel in my fish tank Jedi Master Chris: He’s to dangerous to be left alive!

Me: finds new ftr Comments: aren’t liked by chirs Me: *wait, that’s illegal*

Chris im thinking of a summer job like a pet fish store to help people take care of there fish properly!😊😊😊

Chris: works eagerly to educate us about Aquatic animals! Me: wHEre iS rEpAShy?

These aqua-scape artists make me so jealous!! I'm making an ecosphere and I'm using the spinal bone of one of our cows that died a while back (don't worry, I scrubbed the hell out of it, its clean, I promise)... This will be my first aqua scape enclosure... wish me luck!!

I'm super excited because I feel like I finally have a tank I can submit to be seen lol, I just finished planting my blackwater biome 20gal and it's been growing and cycling for the past two weeks ^^ I'm happy to see how my betta Rojo likes his new house

Imma go get myself some flame tetras and rummynose tetras for my new tank :)

I love coming home from school and seeing a new upload thanks Chris

So fun fact! Zebra mussels can live if the temp gets below a certain point. The algae balls, it's not moss. Can with stand near freezing temperatures. Stick them in the freezer and let them get just to the point on of freezing then, take them out and stick them in fridge for a few hours then take out and let adjust to room temp. If you have one that is a bit brownish. Stick in the fridge over night it will perk up. It's a cold water plant and most of the moss balls come from the Ukraine not China not Japan. Zebra mussels originate from the Ukraine. Good luck to those have gotten them in the recent months. I buy them and rip them and glue them to stones, or caves.

"Oui oui madame voulez-vous aquascape avec moi ce soir ?" 🤣 It caught me off guard XD

Flame tetras and rummy noses go well together btw

I know by the title this is gonna be a GOOD one

ME HAVING 8 CATS MY BETTA: WHATS UP WITH ALL THOSE KNIVES ( FALCON AND WINTER SOLDIER MEME )

So I have the tank @ 2:50. Its ok but leaning towards bad, I kept shrimp in, it was impossible to clean the filter since it was under the flooring and if you remove the flooring,you’ll spend 20-30mins trying to place it back cuz the alignment of the filter must be pinpoint for you to use the “fountain”

Flame tetra and Rummy-nose tetra....dont know what these secret code words are about tho?? Brand new to the channel.

Every time I get a notification from your channel my heart goes faster

That pink graveled tank looks better than my sister's. My sister's tank is properly sized with sharp gems, sharp plants, and SpongeBob decorations. Did I mention almost everything is a rainbow? I'm just glad I convinced my dad to get her betta a 5-gallon tank rather than a half-gallon tank.

Me: “they look like they are doin good.” The fish: “I can’t breath.”

Chris trying french accent. French citizen: what the ????

I'M A MOM NOW YAY :D wait...

That goofy aquarium with the clock on the side is a good product....for bamboo and literally nothing else. I had one on my reception desk that I used just for some bamboo in the "fish tank" side and to hold pens on the dry side.

No cap means "I'm not lying" I had to look this up. Lol

A few months ago my dad and I bought 3 yoyo loaches and BOI they g r e w ! They’re the most active duo (one of em died unexpectedly and stayed small) in our tank at the moment haha very fun to watch ^^

My daughter just brought home a beta she found half dead at the pet store. She bought the biggest container she could afford for it (which was a small bowl). Much bigger than the sad cup but luckily he only had to stay in the bowl for a day and now he is loving his new 10 gal tank. And surprise! The fish is actually swimming along happily now. Who knew betas didn't like being in those tiny cups (I say sarcastically). The 20 year pet store owner- that's who! I told my daughter not to go back. We don't support businesses who abuse pets.

I’m glad to have found your channel, the inspiration and insight into keeping fish is invaluable.

3:52 i saw elsa, i cant unseen this with all so pinky gravel! 😂😂 dangg

First tank: I had a snail problem in a 29G planted tank with a group of mollies, was suggested clown loaches to take care of the snails. Fell in love. By the end of the year, ended up with a 125G metachrome tank I found at an estate sale for $300 (yah I know). Did all that clumsily, traumatizing water parameters for months (aquariums with dying fish is a repeated theme in bad dreams to this day), so much $$$ in chemicals and products... It turned out to be so joyful and rewarding. All that to say: clown loaches are goddamn adorable.

I may not have a fish, but I am a hamster owner. And so... Fish owners: Hamster owners: Both advocating for the better treatment of pets that have no control of their environment.

Thank you for highlighting the importance of keeping our ecosystems protected from invasives!!!

I live in Texas and the zebra mussels have taken over the lake I live by. Also, we can't swim in the lake anymore because the mussels are so sharp they cut our feet :(
