When I was a kid I was begging my mom for a dog and she decided to get me a betta instead, it was a beautiful galaxy type betta and I loved him. There was a bowl I put him in that we already had laying around from past fish. I DID EVERYTHING WRONG, didn’t dechlorinate, didn’t cycle, didn’t acclimate, no heater, no filter, and I gave him so much food( the bad brand). I really loved him but I didn’t know anything:( of course he died and I was heartbroken… I then found your channel and had a mental breakdown thinking about how much I tortured this poor betta. Later on I saved up money and got a new betta with all that you taught me I gave this little betta the life I wish I would’ve given to my past betta. She’s been with me for 4 years now and like to think of him as forgiveness to my other one💕 I just wish he could come back so I can show him how much I really loved him Anyways, thank you chris!

I have a petco near me that’s amazing, they take care of fish and take in surrenders, the people there do their best with what their given to take good care of the fish, I once watched an employee talk a young adult into getting a five gallon with a filter and heater for their betta instead of a 1 gall, and they don’t even sell bowls there! The employees basically give new guys, (and interested customers such as myself lol) a crash course on store based aquarium keeping, and how to do things as a keeper, it’s a beautiful thing and they understand when I choose to buy from local stores rather than them, it’s beautifully amazing and heartwarming

So the person that sold the Betta didn't bother asking any questions about where it was going to live? I worked in a pet store years ago - everyone got questioned about housing and care and its easy to spot the liars. If the reply was unsatisfactory then we would refuse to sell livestock. The seller in this case needs to accept a degree of responsibility.

Some liars are easier to tell than others if you're bad at sort of thing, I remember asking someone questions and accidentally using leading questions that caused them to give me believable lies, I can definitely see that happening to an underpaid, understaffed, uneducated pet store employee just trying to do their best. I doubt the person who "sold" the bettafish was the actual owner. It was probably just a floor employee or a cashier.

I just started breeding shrimp in my 25 gallon but everything that could go wrong went wrong there were worms in the tank ph and ammonia levels spiked for no reason so i did a water change treated the water for worms to die got some ottos to eat an leftover food and then last night while having dinner my dad spoted 5 baby shrimp.This was one of the most happiest moments in my fish keeping career.

@Hikarixhikarixhikari Жыл бұрын

That is every beginner shrimptank owners dream!!! I remember having a horrible day after going to class in the morning getting some shitty news from my doctor and then having to work nightshift, and when I got home in the evening and saw just two little baby shrimp, smaller than a grain of rice, just chillin on my watersprites. My entire day was just utterly made, it was an amazing feeling. I had been watching the berried mamas for months and when I saw them molt but not babies for two weeks, it was just just a wonderful moment to finally see them. Even one of the momma's was chillin with the two babies. I will never forget that moment.

@epicrebel7965 Жыл бұрын

Its just really exciting seeing little baby shrimp after everything you do make them breed now I am planning to buy more shrimp so that they cross breed and make a lot more variants of shrimp.

@discordiacreates6669 Жыл бұрын

Aww I hope those babies all grow up big and strong for ya, though I'm curious what you mean by "worms" since planaria are little kinda arrow headed flatworms that will hurt your shrimp, but there's also some long, thin detritus worms that just eat leftovers and will get eaten by any fish you put in the tank. I'd say hopefully you didn't get planaria prior to treating but since you already did... Now I kinda hope they were so you didn't go full offense on a harmless species since it'd suck if you wasted time and resources. Idk though, I feel like people usually mean planaria though since some detritus worms are pretty small and hard to notice, though knowing you have those in a tank would actually be great in the future since if you have any fish fry... Free food ^^

@epicrebel7965 Жыл бұрын

@@discordiacreates6669 they were detritus but I freaked out even tho they were just harmless but I've heard horror stories about having planaria so I deep cleaned the tank and put in some dewormers and then I added 3 ottos which I got from a cousin(will get 3 more later) and now I am seeing a lot more shrimp babies.

@discordiacreates6669 Жыл бұрын

@@epicrebel7965 ah rip the poor worms, but at least the ottos will be fat and happy if you didn't completely wipe them out ^^' though in my experience if you wanna keep detritus worms alive, don't put adult fish in the same tank at all and especially not ottos or corys since they're their number one killer, those fish are a bit overzealous for the wiggly snacks and eat the whole bag in one sitting if they're allowed to lol. Understandable though that you aren't taking any risks since I've heard most shrimp are pretty delicate, though I actually don't know if ottos are compatable with shrimp, maybe, but they may also eat their babies. Hopefully not though, but then again, I've seen the Chinese algae eater being sold as an otto before and I think Chinese algae eaters are actually carnivores? Not certain, flying foxes also sometimes get mixed up as young fish and I don't have any of any of those kinds of fish atm, just remember I've bought the wrong one for a guppy tank years ago and then found out they're aggressive ^^' rip. You probably got the right one though if they're from someone else who's had them for a while so they're probably fine, I just personally don't know as I still occasionally mix two of them up

I realized I am „that one person“ and „fun at every party“, when someone is happy about something (the last one, the shrimp breeding) and you start to explain why is it even not that great. It’s normal variations called Rili and don’t have anything to do with crossbreeding... you can not crossbreed, they turn nature color, you have to stay in their breeded lines... Aaaaaand nobody asked for that advice. Damn it🤣 Sidenote: my favorite own breed is „red blue rili“ light blue in color with red parts like dots, tail head legs or like that. Very cute. But not cross breeded, they just happen, sometimes red shrimp breed into blue ones and you can select them to try to keep that variation.

I think the problem with the big box shop isn't the breeder, but the tanks at the store. The employees will use the same net for every tank. They'll use their hands on dead fish, and just keep working. They don't quarantine the fish, nor do they treat the fish that are sick. They don't pay enough, and overwork their employees. I was in the store, as they were unboxing their shipment. I got a bag of six angelfish. Didn't lose one. But, the angels they already had, had ick. Yet, they were for sale. Their "observation tank" includes discus & African cichlids, with mollies, gourami, and cpds. So, yeah.

If you grab some wood from the wild youll want to make sure its not a type of wood thats toxic to fish (you could make it safe but that would take about 3 months of soaking it). Wood from petstores shouldnt be an issue. Youll also want to boil it to prevent it from floating as much and to sterilize it of any pests or bacteria. Youll also want to get it from somewhere you know doesnt spray pesticides or herbicides.

Idk what's with my betta. I had it 5 months ago from a pet shop and it had a discolored spot on its head. It lives in 40-something litre blackwater tank with 100lph filter, heater, 15-ish different plants, eats 5 different foods (2 types of pellets, gamarus, shrimp bits and bloodworms), weekly 50% water changes, dechlorinated, with conditioner (tetra balance?), but the spot seems to only grow in size. What could be wrong?

@CupwakeRBLX Жыл бұрын

Might be too big of a food variety. Might want to look into the food spectrum. The “2 types of pellets” is a big red flag. One of those brands of pellets could be the problem. Can you tell me the brands and types of products here? Also 100lph is only 25gph. 10 gallon tanks (or 40 liters) requires a minimum of 40gph and recommends a minimum of 70gph.

QOTW definitely b. Also I have friend and we have a fish tank together (180L) , we’ve been cycling it for 3 weeks and this weekend we're putting fish in. Which it great, but he thinks he can put 40 fish in because his favourite fish keeper (md fish tanks) says it ok, it might be fine but I definitely don’t want to over stock it. What do I do?

40 neon/cardinal tetras or any 1-2 inch fish would be ok for a 47.5 gallon.

Hey Chris I know your probably busy but I’m really interested in buying a Betta and I knew you were the person to go to so in the near future could you please give a video of step by step instructions on how to set a tank up and I know you already did this but could you tell us where you find the product because I’m having trouble finding low budget and efficient equipment. And could you show like all the cleaning, feeding, filter, heater, and explaining ph levels and ammonia levels please. I know this is a huge thing of me to ask and I understand that you can’t do it but please help me thanks for reading this Chris! 😊

are snails safe in fish tanks i saw somewhere that they have a toxin but im not too sure are they safe to touch? are they safe for fish?

@kai_plays_khomus Жыл бұрын

Yes, in general they are. Some snails can act as a host for parasites, but that's rare and you should be fine with washing your hands afterwards. Usually domesticated snails (not introduced from the wild) won't cause any problems - neither for your fish nor you.

Snails are safe in fish tanks, as long as they are aquatic. They mostly are safe to touch, as long as they don't have parasites.

I would stick to snails from reputable LFS, not from the wild or questionable places
