Chris: *Milly is the cutest birdo I love her* Milly: _I will sell Chris for a empty soda can_

Fully agree with the “make sure people know you like fish” I got like five of my 8 tanks for free from friends and family not using them anymore

Using your hands is very similar to using a net. As long as your hands are wet and you aren’t purposely rubbing the fish and such, there really isn’t much issue. Majority of people out catching fish like bettas, rasboras, and so on use their hands to pick them up and put them in the container after catching them with a net. They aren’t damaged as long as there’s water. This video obviously looks kind of sus though. Piling up the fish like that? No reason to do it at all other than stressing out the fish.

Happy Valentine's Day to all. Watching FTR with my girl wishing she had bought me a new fish. She bought me some pork siomai for our online class. Yum! 😍

Millie is always a very polite birb (most of the times.) ❤️🐟

My two cockatiels try to chirp (nicer way of saying “scream”) back at Millie whenever I watch your videos with her in them. LOL

That dude with the dwarf gouramis has a ton of similar videos, definite livestock abuser He even used to have a yt story up where he didn’t manage to put all the shrimp in the tank in properly after the “reveal” and just threw the remaining bunch away like… live shrimp… just threw them away

guy: dont scream at the guy who has 10 male bettas in a vase chris: apex mode activated

Millie is like an angel compared to my birb Penny. Sometimes she pretends that she wants scritches, but then tries to bite my finger off. Also she hates everyone else in the house. She is a lovebird... What an irony

Omg that "silent" filter meme had the perfect timing. I just upgraded to a more powerful air pump for my sponge filter and I'm currently in bed watching FTR to procrastinate sleep, because I know it will be rough :D Gurgle pop gurgle gurgle pop

Is Milly interested in a pied? He's a decent amount younger but considering it's Valentine's day, he figured he's shoot his shot....Gonzo is a handsome lad and watches these videos, always throwing kisses towards Milly

I was in a video call with my aunt, and she told me her betta died. She blamed the betta for being sick. When I asked to see the tank it amazed me. She kept it in a vase that wasn't even half a gallon big, aside from the random leaves inside for decoration. I confronted her and the excuse I got was that Bettas like shallow water, but I can promise you that thing barely had any water. Idk, I just think it's funny that people believe whatever they can about Bettas.

Just found you tonight. So happy im not weird being a bird a fish person. I get ppl picking on me become both hobbies require so much...im one of those who like the work and the satisfaction. Dont know her name but she looks very comfy. Gonna binge ur channel tonight

My local pet store selling pure endler's for 25 cents each as "feeder guppy" even though I have heard they are rare to find. I bought a pair and they are really wild type endler. Pretty cool.

Hi Chirs! I just wanted to thank you for your amazing channel and all the hard work you do! I have been a freshwater hobbyist for over a decade, but I had to give up my tanks because of serious health issues and I got really depressed and kinda gave up for a while, until I started watching FTR! Your videos kept me going throughout a very long treatment process. Now I'm cycling a new 20G and today I've just accepted a job as an Aquatics Specialist at a pet store!! I can't thank you enough for all the inspiration & motivation you give to your audience. I don't know if I would have returned to my favorite hobby without this channel. You are wonderful!!

In my spare time I've been making goldfish playlists featuring Luke's goldies fish and it's actually quite fun to do. Also I wish xtreme krill flakes were sold in the UK ( oddly enough a fair amount of people have viewed these playlists )

11:53 Well it was tough but you should never place tanks near the windows because of a very high chance of algae blooms . Anyways as long as the curtains stay shut and half the fish stay hidden , no problem at all !

OMG thats mine at 4:21 :| im from the Philippines I was surprised my tank got featured

Call me crazy but I actually really like the topfin basic hob filters. I can nearly shove as much in them as an aquaclear and they are quiet and have not burned-out yet while my aquaclear did. I have one in my room and wish it was louder because I like to fall asleep to rain sounds.

My first hardscape for my centerpiece gourami tank was awful. Now I have improved a ton!

some one is trying to convince me that their a “fish expert” and is saying that betta can live in bowl betta can live with tiger barbs bettas molt bettas hate big tank aka anything bigger than a three inch bowl

With great power at aquascaping comes great responsibility for keeping the fish.

Go on Nextdoor and put up an ad that you're looking for fish tanks and are willing to pick up. In one weekend I picked up three 5 gal, two 10 gal, a 30 gal, and a 40 gal with stand. I paid about $30 for all of it.

That first video. Got the best of me. I recently had my first Betta pass away and while I admit I was not the best abd did everything to provide her a good life in a good planted tank, I guess I did not do enough research to keep her alive. I'm willing to learn and redo the process to see another future fish of mine live happier and longer but man...seeing that person just hold them up like that. :(

Great video as usual! I had a couple fish deaths recently, but that gave me the excuse to pare down on my tanks a bit. I'm going to get a 20 gallon soon, and I'm redoing the hardscapes in my tanks. Gouramis seem interesting, but I'm definitely more of a betta kinda guy.

I have 2 fish tanks in my room. A 45g tall and a 29g. They're super quiet.. my aerators make some noise but I can't sleep in silence so it helps. Love FTR.

Happy Valentine's Day!! Wishing you all a happy day! 💝

The picture showing off the food and the test kits made me cry. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen corys mini fridge for his fish… but that’s me… Plenty of different frozen foods… pellets from different brands… nflabs xtreme hikary … then it’s also shrimp foods…3 different algae wafers 😅 some garlic infused others not.. my husband said to me yesterday, I think our fish eat better than us 🤣 and honestly it might be true… I never check ingredients or calories for me but I do for the fish 😅 I need to chill

In the spirit of doing research in order to provide proper care for our pets, I challenge you to looking into letting Millie have her flight feathers back! Wing clipping is the bird care version of a goldfish bowl with rainbow gravel.. it’s outdated, and harmful in regards to both physical and mental health. Flight training, on the other hand, is a wonderful way to bond with your bird, encourage proper exercise, and ensure their safety in our homes and in case of escape 😊 There are many less intrusive, mutually beneficial ways to manage behavior and ensure safety!

Yeah i had those dwarf gouramis and they are also common in the tiny marshes around the nearby lake

As an Indonesian, FTR brightens my Tuesday!

Hi Chris happy Monday! Thanks for the Monday FTR. Please make a hour long FTR! Cory gang for life!

So put my tank next to my bed. Got it. Lol I served in the army so I’m used to sleeping in a 20 ton diesel hybrid (JP8) that had to stay on most of the time I slept. So I actually sleep better with engine and mechanical sounds in the room. Getting a fish soon so I’ll be looking forward to my first good sleep in 12 years 😂

Hi! Ok I’m going to sound really dumb right now but I need some help. A little back story: I got a beta fish a couple of years ago and we had a live plants and he loved them. He lasted a long time but then he sadly past away and then I got a new Betta fish. I got live plants just as we did the first time. However, something weird happened. Now, my new betta fish had always been calm. And my new live plants had made the water cloudy and my betta fish seemed the same though. I thought everything was fine so I did t think much of it. However, he started acting even slower and wouldn’t eat. So I took him out of the tank and put him in a smaller tank and he did better. I thought it was because he was overwhelmed with his new large tank so I put him back into the original tank thinking he’ll be better. Anyway, he died a few days later and turns out the plant had a diseases and I apparently did not clean it properly. I decided to get a different fish after a few months. I want to give him the best habitat possible and this is where I’m gonna sound dumb. I want to give him a natural habitat with live plants but when I first got him I decided just to get silk plants because I really do not want to get him sick. Now that he’s been in my tank for a few months and is doing good I think it’s time to get live plants. Does anyone have a good live plant cleaning routine and does anyone have live plant suggestions for a goldfish.

2:00 dont think I didnt notice the watercress, very tasteful, not many people use that one.

I have my tank next to my bed and I am a VERY light sleeper, doesn't bother me a bit with my setup! used to have issues but no more for my 75 gal tank and my 40 gal breeder, here is what I did: Get a GREY tetra whisper brand 10-30 gal air pump (with legs, not a cube); or multiple is you need more air. DO NOT get the larger ones, they are loud (walmart usually has it last I saw) The blue ones are loud that sell at most stores and annoying for some odd reason.... don't ask me why the grey are quiet and blue are not. Sometimes you get an odd one out of the grey that is loud, out of my 5 I have owned only 1 got loud after a few years....weird. Also put them on a sufficiently sized sponge isolated UNDER the tank in the stand and that significantly quiets them down as well. If you need more than 1 air pump or say you do more than a single air sponge filter (I do that too) you get multiple of the 10-30 gal pumps and do one pump for each filter. Don't be tempted to get a single larger air pump..... its too loud. having multiple gets enough air for the tank and keeps the noise down. There, your welcome! what I did for my 7g gal is Get a mattenfilter with its own pond pump that self starts and is quiet (had to fiddle with mine and unplug and replug it in sometimes to quiet it down, it wasn't instantly silent) and connect it to a tube to take the water up and out and connect it to a spray bar to the other side of the tank to help with circulation and keep the water level close to the spray bar holes so it doesn't splash much, keeps things clean and I have an airstone hidden behind a log for extra air. Good luck to you!

Team Xtreme! Krill Flake from Xtreme is the best prepared fish food I have ever used!

Your real laugh at Spengebebb killed me XD, I keep rewatching it.

currently waiting on some opae ula shrimp to get here but these submissions make me want to submit their tank. it's hardscape-only though cause of the water requirements so i can't imagine it'd get more than a 3

My stats teacher: Guys what does FTR stand for? Classmates: Failed to reject Me: fish tank review...

When I saw my lemon tetras get close to window and swim around with excitment as I got closer to their tank with food in my hand...I felt as if I became a literal god

That handful of fish looks like a fishing show.

Yes they did make the quiet flow quieter. That’s all my dad ever uses and his new 30gal sized one is much quieter than his old 60 or 40 models. They work for quarantine tanks but my problem with them is you can’t get any media but the tiny bag in them so you don’t get much filtration compared to an aqua clear or tidal hob

I totally agree with you about handling fish with your bare hands. Great video as usual!

6:39 all my tanks are in my room. you just gotta focus on the water sounds over the mechanical sounds. lots of training but it’s worth it lol

The top of the driftwood at 8:51 looks like a skull, now that's awesome

No one: No one ever: Me: At 3am watching fish stuff because I'm bored.

I personally think transporting fish wiht your hands can be a good thing . Nets can be rough fish, whereas your hands are softer, as long as they are wet before you touch the fish their slime coats should be okay. Now idk id its okay to lift that many at once tho.

I have a tank in my bedroom. I love the running water noise. It helps me sleep

What are you talking about Chris? Not having a fish tank next to your bed, why not? I have my 100 gallon aquarium next to my bed 🤣🤣🤣 with filter running 24/7. 😆it’s hard to get use to the sound in the first few days, I can’t hear the filter running but I sure can hear the water splashing 😂😂, but it’s so satisfying waking up and turning over and some fish looking at you.

Are we exposing birds now? My cockatoo hated specifically burger King cups and would try to kill them on sight. I couldnt drink a Pepsi in peace He also used to try to bully my cats and I would have to stop him from trying to run across the floor and kill them whenever they'd sneak into his room and if I didn't let him kill them (I didn't) he would scream at them and then me. He also had to go to bed at 7 sharp or else he'd start breaking things, and he'd tell you too! He'd go "goodnight." And you'd better have listened to him

I bought a ceramic Pleco cave for my mbuna tanks bristlenose pleco ( Mr moustache is his name) but one of the demasoni has made the cave his home. Cichlid cave now

Chris: goes on and on about the bad things of your tank Chris after:3.5 keep it up😑

Working at my LFS. Dwarf Gouramis aren't the floppiest fish, so I wouldn't be shocked if one take was enough.

FTR just reminds me its monday (happy valentines day

7:05 Yess!!! My meme made it in!!! Also, thanks for the advice ☺️

7:00 Chris you will never sleep with fish tanks in your room , me laughing in my sleep with 8 tank

It's funny because I absolutely need the white noise to sleep, otherwise I can't. Like I'm such a light sleeper that if I hear anything out of the ordinary I'm jolted awake and the tanks block the noise. Blackouts are painful as the silence gets super loud and high pitched. The tank that's closest to me is a Fluval spec v and that tank is silent. The water flow is silent and the filter I can only hear if I shove my ear against the tank. My other tank has a silent motor but loud water trickling but I love it. Recently added a retired 10 gallon and stocked it with crickets to add to the white noise.

Wtf am I doing. I'm lying on the floor watching crickets argue while watching ftr.

Millie’s subtitles of disgust get me every time 😂😂

Thank you our host Milli and the co-host Chris for this amazing FTR.

Wait Milly is a girl ? I always thought the orange on her cheeks were too bright for her to be a girl but well I guess I was wrong . Also the first guy , im pretty sure he is one of the most skilled aquascapers but the worst fishkeeper because I had seen another vid of his where he had hundreds of shrimp added to the tank in an empty glass vessel . So yeah instead of the hands a glass pot with a lid at the bottom which he would slide off to have a flush of shrimps falling into the beautiful tank ! I always thought WHY . Edit: Oh wait the orange is not that bright Im dumb asf xD

I LOVVEEEEEE my fish tank in my room. The water filter is so soothing though I did have to adapt to the water noise and had to pee more 😂

Love watching FTRs on a Monday wit no school. Already makes my day and something that can entertain meanwhile I wait for my tank lights to turn on 🤣

Watching this during school. FTR is more important for my future than math.

Last time I was this early Chris was the host.

Is Millie molting? Kevin only freaks out like that when he's preening and he hurts himself in his molt

I think a bigger problem is we still call it a hobby. Fish aren't a hobby ANIMALS AREN'T A HOBBY they are a lifestyle. if you can't take proper care of them then don't bother because people hear hobby and buy small tanks. something to start off with instead of going all out like you should with ANIMALS. It's not a hobby its a lifestyle.

Its valentine day! The perfect red plant for a heart scape is: dojodiscus manosis! Really love it in my scapes!

11:40 the fish owner is gonna be thinking why did my fish pee?

I constantly sing the outro to these FTR videos. So rad

I've been commenting on ftr for like 5 months and I finally got that shout out. Thanks Chris 😊

8:40- I had that exact same fake root decoration. It started to smell really bad, so I took it out.

I sold tanks i found in the trash. I bought 3 working 75 gals for like $150. Buy pool filter sand 50lbs for $5. Make my own filters and grow plants using garbage touts from fast food restaurants. Buy $20 led flood lights for aquarium. The hobby is not expensive just your ideas.

Before I had a fish tank I had to have the tv on at night to sleep. Now I can sleep just fine with the sound of my filter 😂

6:57 Me with a tank right next to my bed: I don't think so

Just decided to purchase 2 pairs of fire tail guppies today and take the ten gallon from when i was a kid out of storage was (originally a guppie tank then a neon tetra and etc tank) cant wait to post it here once its set up

“Millie out here exposing the bird hobby” he says as my Conure is nibbling my headphones, turning them off and threatening me with her beak.

Chirs:BUY THIS AMAZING AQUARIUM COOP MERCH!! fellow canadians:my day is ruined,and my disappointment is immeasurable...

My birthday is today and on Saturday we celebrated and even got new fish for my 45 gallon community tank since we got hit by a bad cold snap I left the lights on all night to give a little more warmth just incase. In the morning when I woke up I saw all my fish were at the top of the tank and even my pleco that never comes out went to the top for some air, then I knew something was wrong. I looked closer at my tank and my fluval fx6 filter was somehow not disturbing the surface enough. I lost three 4 fish a zebra danio, a red tail shark, a red eye tetra, and later on that day i found that a leopard danio had gotten out of the tank and originally like at least it's no new fish but of course the leopard danio had to change that.

An old dog walking client was a computer technician he was SUPER into aquariums and once owned a 300 gal marine and 3 40gal aquascapes. When i said i was getting into aquariums he just gave me a free 30gallon high tank that he still had. XD

I visited this channel before i did research on the proper tank size for a betta and oh boy I got personally offended by "That tank's too small" After extensive research on both sides of the argument i settled on a 10 gallon Thank you for educating me, lmao

It's like hunger games trying to get featured on FTR

Before you touch fish you need to wash your wands and make sure they are wet before touching them

Gaurami are very hardy... At least my giant ones are... They don't care for water quality... Or aquatic plants.. They just munch on water lettuce like its lays... So... 1000litre sump and a giant box of hydroton beads for the filtration... Doing aquaponics in it now for the nitrate export..

Call me crazy but I enjoy listening to filter noises ( sponge, internal, canister are all in my bedroom)

I used to want to send my tank in, but now I doubt it will be good enough. Even if Chris approves. . . The glare I may receive from the elder goddesses will curse my bloodline till the end of time

idk the first clip I can defend 'cause it's just using hands instead of a net to put them in. Also, the gouramis' appendages look like they can get stuck in net holes. but yea it's bad if they were taking a lot of time doing this to make the perfect shot. when the gouramis are dumped though, a lot of debris came out so maybe they came straight out of the bag/net

FTR inspired me to get my betta live plants!

That good 4 u cover was so good the video almost get copyrighted

1:53 I believe I saw a beta in there as well

Yesterday was hectic lmao. Ivory The betta's filter guard busted of so I needed to reattach it and my colander fell in the tank and one of the endlers got stuck and I didn't notice until 1 minute after removing it ( I put the poor guy back and he's doing well )

Happy Valentine’s Day chirs.

At 9:00 that “wood” look like E.T. lol

I never thought to put shrimp with a betta, no.1 fish rule- if it fits in their mouth they will eat it.

dwarf gouramis aren't aggressive in the first place, so it wouldn't matter how many there are, if they were the big ass gouramis it wouldn't be to good though

FTR should be a Netflix series

Lol I put a tank in my bedroom for the filter noise! Totally helps me sleep 😂

Beginner fish keepers be like: putting 19 gold fish, 15 betta’s, 9 cobra guppy’s, 25 ranchu goldfish’s, and 13 endler guppy’s! In a 4L fish bowl
