Millie is the chillest bird. Most cockatiels I have met were shrieking balls of feathered rage.

The first pot is actually very good for a guppy as the way it is. Sure it's not "full" of plant to combat the fish waste, but look at the size of that big plant and look at how big the fish poop are (if u can). That massive plant root is basically an oversized filtration already.

I think the potted plant tank should have more room for the fish. I do think that they were trying for a thick sand bed, but if it was it was thick! The pet I love that is out of water is my loud cat.😼

That pot is honestly OK. The deep sand bed/soil bed is really deep. Lot of good anaerobic conditions for denitrification

I think the first tank/pot was fine. They did good maintainence!

Putting words in Millie's mouth instead of treats. Smh

A lizard fish is a tropical sea fish that can move it's spine vertically was well as horizontally. It looks a bit like a lizard. When you catch one and hold on to it. It wind's it's tail in a circle instead of flapping back and forth. You catch them in the florida keys sometimes.

That first setup has potential if they had a deep water column with more plants like pothos around. Maybe add some water shamrocks and other rhizome plants 🪴

Woohoo!! FTR Monday!! Wishing all who see this an absolutely, positively, radically wonderful week! Get out there and get yer hands wettttt!🙏✨✌️✨

Poor pet smart employees get a bad wrap. The one I go to has pretty decent fish people. I have personally seen them tell people not to get certain fish and picked up on some clues that the person wasn’t going to properly care for the fish and talked them into reconsidering. Very reassuring.

We have a bristlenose pleco too, and she's like over 20 years old which is older than me, and I really really like this fish, she's cool

i was in the middle of studying for my finals tomorrow but this is more important

I think that mini pond was acceptable because of the massive plant growing in the middle, enough filtration

This hits different now that I am graduated. This channel is following me to my new chapter in my life ❤

As always, a lovely video to start my week with or without Millie! QOTW: I honestly can't choose one! Love dogs (still miss my Corgi ❤), cats, horses/ponies, aquatic critters! Coolest and weirdest thing I've had that I loved were mice, super shy but so sweet and curious!

qotw: my rabbit, but when my husband and I moved in together the bun decided I was old news and is now glued to his hip at all times. That pot tank seemed fine to me, but I wish the sand level was lower to give the fish more room.

The name 'Dennerle' has emphasis on the first syllable and the last 'e' sounds like the other e's. Dennerle has sweet stuff. I'm using their aquasoil and a few other things. They have a whole range of aquarium stuff and they produce a lot of great plants as well.

This is hilarious, cause I scrolled through your videos last night for 10 minutes, looking for something about guppies lmao thank you😂❤🎉

Great video like always 😊 I started a native fish tank

Thanks for making and sharing another great video Chris! Really glad your collar bone is healing well! Monday FTR is turning into a weekly highlight for me :)

About a month ago I removed my long fin Betta from my community tank as he wasn’t doing well with the water flow in there. He didn’t look good and his fins were raggedy and short. Put him in a temporary 3 gallon hospital tank and treated him with Betta Fix. Every week he looked better and better and every week lots of fin growth. He is all better now and I went and got a 10 gallon tank for him and some of his snail buddies. Since he is now in a 10 gallon, I placed an order with Aquarium Co-Op for a few additional plants for him. So happy he is doing well. I’ve now added a King Koi Plakat Betta to my community tank and since he is bigger and has short fins, he isn’t bothered by the flow in the tank and is doing great.

rainbowfish are native to australia and PNG, kinda like our version of tetras, lots of varieties of small fish that vary river to river slightly. and lizardfish are apparently also known as: Saddleback Loach, Gecko Loach, or Orchid Loach.

Another Monday made great once more! Heckkkkin Thank you for making such fantastic content!

I rarely disagree with you, but I believe the plant is more than sufficient for a couple guppies. Terrestrial plants have unlimited access to co2, if that plants grows well (and it looks damn healthy), it can easily handle the bioload and the substrate IS the filter. Plenty of room for bacteria to grow. Pretty OK setup in my eyes. If you compare it directly to your setup (with the floating plants and the pothos), your setup has by far less plantmass for nutrient absoption.

Always love FTR Monday's! Great video as always. My favorite pet is our kitten Kimchi. She is scared of my clown fish, which always makes me chuckle.

My favorite pet would be my iridescent shark catfish I have for eight years now and still growing in his new pond ❤

My mom is so supportive I now have like 7 different pond plants she got for free on craigslist and I love her but I don't have pond space. I literally only have space for the water lillies :')

Poor Chirs is afraid of getting replaced by Millie. Thanks for showing us your fish tanks!

6:06 just watched a video about those weirdos, the other day. Its a ribbon worm, defending itself against that giant hand, that dares to hold it. Also the Chibi Cory Jesus had me in tears 🤣

i'd love to get into fishkeeping once i have enough space. And once I get the hang of maintaining water quality and everything else, I want to get two axolotls :)

I suggest something cool for your new tank like a giant betta, killifish, or some mud skipper's (if it's big enough) 😅❤

“Am i even a fishkeeper?” “I’m uninstalling” 😂😂😂

Out of my three fish tanks, one 24 yo cockatiel, five cats and one dog, my dog is still my favorite. He's gone through a lot health wise but he's still a lovable goofus.

QOTW: We have a family cockatiel who is 24 years old. Watching Millie always puts a smile on my face.

Also I feel you on not keeping plants with tamago . I thought I could keep my plants with my moonlight gourami (she was a rescue) if I gave her some Indian fern and water sprite...oh I was so wrong hahah I gave her to someone else 😅 miss her.. though it's nice having healthy plants again

Honestly bristlenose are probably my absolute favorite fish, hope to one get one for my 40 breeder some day Won’t matter to me if they’re male or female, black or gold, just as long as they’re healthy (Also don’t worry about that gourami, I saw their long ventral find and that and the shape of their fins and body suggests to me they’re a female dwarf gourami) As for for my answer to the question, my cat Shadow. I am most definitely a cat person, I’ve loved all my kitties, and currently Shadow’s the only one we have left He used to be real shy but after becoming an only cat he became as loving (and demanding!) as his mom and brother, and is very much bonded to me, always lying on my bed… cats are definitely the best pets for me

I love your ftr and have been watching for almost a year! Happy Monday 🎉 ✌️

My favorite pet will have to be my red devil, Nikki. He's a lot work to maintain, takes up a lot of space, and likes to bite when he's in a mood, but he's super cute, thrives on attention, and does have his playful moments where he plays tag (will bump my hand with his nose when I'm digging in the tank, then he'll swim away really fast, and I'll boop his tail, and he'll come back and bump my hand again)

The pottet plant thing at the beginning is something I would like to try out someday but more the way you described. I don't think the fish have enough swimming space and the tempature of that water is gonna go nuts very fast with the weather. QOTWA: This is a hard one but no lies here, I must say it's Yue, my siamese cat who is like my shadow. She even goes to sauna with me.

I love all your animals especially Millie I watch all your vids you make my day 😊love ❤from London uk 🇬🇧🐡🐠🐟🐈❤❤

Nothing beats watching FTR and eating spicy noodles 🍜 QOTW: my favourite pets are always the ones that are absolute pricks for the heck of it and at the same time, they're fully aware of how cute they are and they're not afraid to use it against you. 😂 For example, I used to have 2 oscars and one of them kept jumping up and biting me during every. Single. Feeding time. Obviously, he was my favourite 😅 also my cat, Harlem (I have 3 cats), who screams in my face and smacks me with his paw every single morning, at exactly 6 AM, because he's obviously starving.

I like how we got asked what you are going to stock your river tank with after you released the video of stocking your river tank. Is this a test to see who watches more than just FTRs?

Old viewer returning and I went to visit Petscord for a look and wow. Brought a tear to my eye

qotw- you have no idea what you're asking because in my house, it kinda rotates depending on who I am the maddest at. My all-time favorite dog was a really chill long-haired Chihuaha. He was the first dog I ever got as a grownup and it's been almost 4 years but I still miss that dude constantly. My favorite fish in general are bettas, but I'm really into my panda garra. Another one with a huuuuge personality :) she likes to sleep in those floating betta logs, anytime it gets stuck under the water filter flow. I didn't recognize it til like the 5th time she'd done it, because I was busy being concerned that the betta thing was stuck and the betta couldn't use it. I finally realized it was now her territory and to leave it the f alone, thanks. My current favorite cat is a new addition. Last Monday, I'm listening to an audiobook on my phone as I'm turning on my car. I hear a very frantic MEOW, so I turn everything back off and just listen for a bit. I go back inside, do a headcount of my cats. I come outside, look around the house to make sure there wasn't a cat stranded on my roof-- nothing. So I turn my car on, and immediate frantic tiny meows. It took almost 4 hours to get her out of my damn engine, but somehow she was completely uninjured and fine. She's too young for her first shots, but thankfully old enough to eat food. It was an irritating, very hot day, and I spent so much of it hysterical that I might have hurt a kitten...She's just going to have to deal with being fussed over and fed nonstop for awhile. I have no idea how I heard those meows over my book, and over my car engine starting, but I'm so very grateful I did.

QOTW: Have a common snapping turtle, a deer mouse, a cat, three horses and a husband. Love them all ❤. Dreaming of pea puffers someday. Or maybe bristle nose plecos

QOTW: My favorite pet is the reptilian overlord that I keep in this 40 breeder tank. I call him Kodos. I feed him unattended children left in the LFS. That's what they get for tapping the glass. Business are not your free babysitters, people.

I think its fine how it is because the deep substrate consumes nitrates because of the anaerobic bacteria that can live in the low oxygen environment and emersed plants filter the water 10 times better then underwater grown plants and with such a huge plant its probably filtering the water really well, that being said they could have left a bit more room for water and still had the nice deep substrate if they didn't fill it up so much.

The 4 feet tank guy deserves a 5/5

My favorite pet is Einstein, he saved my life more then once he is my corgi service dog. We are about to buy a house and therefore I will not be limited on the size of the tank, it will be my first tank over 10 gallon. I am so excited. It is going to be a dirted tank.

my favorite pet is my senior cat, henry, i love all my other pets but he’s just been my buddy for so long

Filterless works without too much issues with big fish and no plants. If there are issues with anything nitrogen related, your tank will be full with algae and green bacteria. But it can also run clean and gobble any nitrogen up beyond measurable levels without plants.

Chris:millie has a soft spot for guppy's. Millie be like: yeah I have a soft spot for them in my stomach.

I've always wanted a kuhli loach and I bought my first one, a black kuhli named loachey about 4 years ago. He's still going strong and working as natural selection in my tank 😅

Lol. You said "the hand of a skeleton". 😆

Love your content you should totally do some bird cage reviews as well! I own a bird and would love to see more bird content on KZfaq.

I love this quality content I believe it's underrated

1:21 I think there's a need to be deeper water and some floating plant. that big of a plant is likely enough to remove most nitate/ammonia from water from small amount of guppies. Extra aeration isn't necessary unless there's not enough surface area for oxygen exchange

The Synodontidae or lizardfishes are benthic marine and estuarine bony fishes that belong to the aulopiform fish order, a diverse group of marine ray-finned fish consisting of some 15 extant and several prehistoric families. They are found in tropical and subtropical marine waters throughout the world. The banded rainbowfish, also known as the Jewel rainbowfish, Goyder River rainbowfish, three-striped sunfish or regal rainbowfish, is a species of Rainbowfish found in the northerly regions of North Australia and Queensland.

I can't have fish tanks, so I live vicariously through FFT.

Some blue shrimps or any color but blue to match the rocks would be nice in your long tank. It’s a beautiful setup. Maybe some water shamrocks😂 I’m obsessed with mine. It’s literally like 4 leaf clovers that grow at different levels but shoot up new stems so fast until they reach the surface

QOTW: Hard question! I only have one pet right now, a paint mare I raised from birth. She's basically a 1,000 lb lap dog. lol But I love all pets! Dogs especially, but also cats, bunnies, ferrets, birds, fish, reptiles, goats, pigs... I've even made friends with a zebra and a camel! (The zebra loved kisses ❤) My dream is to have my own little menagerie someday.

Me: thinking about an employee coming back that left on a bad note possibly coming back to work and thinking "time heals all wounds." Chirs two minutes later sayint "time heals all wounds."

i think a lizard fish is a red whiptail catfish, im not sure tho coz online it shows some streched out piranha thing that lives in saltwater but thats a freshwater aquarium.

Dwarf gourami females are very hard to find, and I've never seen one in person. The more colorful males are usually all you see. Also, lizard fish might refer to a whiptail or farlowella catfish, a twiglike South American catfish.

As much as I love fish (& all my pets) I gotta hand it to the kitties

Yea I have a similar set up for the pot. But mine is a 30 gallon pot with a gravel/sand substrate at the bottom and I used plastic planter with holes in them that the fish can swim thought to make a tower that my potted plants sit on top of. Also lots of water lettuce and still a small filter. First video not enough space. P.s I keep minnows because they don't get enough love lol.

I love my Senegal Parrot, Keith. I love him so much that I grow plants for him to perch on and/or eat, and I'm soon getting a 110 gallon pond with fish to grow some of them in

Loved the update on your tanks!! Hope to see more!

Sun day: 😊😊😊😊 Monday :remembed you needed to do a water change 4weeks ago 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢.

I like Apalache's enclosure super natural 5/5 nice 😮😮😮😊😊

QOTW: I love all my fish, but my cat is my favourite. I've had him the longest, and I find it easier to get attached to creatures I can interact with more

Wanna get rid of your snails? Put your shrimp net in the bottom of the tank, with some food, like an algae wafer. Leave it overnight, and in the morning, your net will be full of snails. I suggest the shrimp net, because of the finer mesh.

I finished my last test redo at school, and now im done with school. Im doing homeschooling now, but it was still weird leaving a school zone for the last time. Also fun fact, Mystery and Apple snails are not the same! Apple snails are actually illegal. People tend to get them confused because they look similar. :v

Chris u better still be around in 10 years so I can submit my fish tanks and keep my sanity

This is why Mondays are better the most days of the week

6:05 Bukkakémon: you gotta catch'em all.

Put some hillstream loach in that river style.

Oh wow, I had never heard of a freshwater lizard fish * Synodontidae *, but google says "they are an elongated with rounded bodies and scaly heads. They grow to a maximum length of about 50 centimetres (20 inches) and are characteristically mottled or blotched to blend with their surroundings. Most lizardfish live in shallow water.

Millie increased the likability of my monday oopsies

I WAS suppose to head to bed, but when i see notif from chairs, i click.

My favorite pet would be my 13 year old shiba, had her since I was 12. You can do the math, she's my world

QOTW: If I gotta choose, my cat, her name is Cake and if you get the reference you're good people. (but also if you don't get it I'm sure you're still good people cos you're here watching FFT) From what I can find a 'lizard fish' is Homaloptera orthogoniata, it's a type of loach which comes from the island of Borneo. A Goyder river Rainbow is Melanotarnia trifaciata, it's a type or rainbowfish, go figure and it comes from north and north eastern Australia. The weird red worm thing is, I'm guessing, a type of seas slug, it's vomiting up it's digestive organs as a defence mechanism.

You should make a bird enclosure review and put your fish on your shoulder

My favorite pet in the fish room would probably be the scuds and orange isopods colony. So small and crustaceous. Love me some crusty pets😩

Love to start my week with FTR!

My first Monday seeing it new! Lucky me!

My favorite is my dog Nala. She’s a 4 yo Belgium Malinois shepherd. I tell her she’s my favorite child lol. Currently going through puppy stage with a 5 month old mal so I appreciate her that much more. My kitty is just ok… hoping to get a hamster this summer.

Ty for update😊

chris never fails to make a good video

In an obviously total fantasy, I would LOVE to have my own lake deep enough to house my pet burbots. They are my favorite fishies! But, closer to reality I would like to have a very long (river like) aquarium and house one yellow beta and some agreeable fellows of other species. I would do nothing but watch it like Netflix.

Favorite pets? Horses and cats since I was a kid. Wild northern dogs that can pull me down the trail on my bike (did that for two decades). Goats. GOOOOOOOOOATS!!!!! Also fathead minnows and cherry shromp.

The lizardfish is probably like a whiptail catfish tbh and the rainbow goiter fish is probably a type of rainbowfish or guppy

Completely off topic from the video but we need more mourning geko content!!! More specifically I need more mourning geko content. My colony is plotting my demise and I beg of you to to push out more content 🙏

My favourite pet, mmmmm Well it's got to be all my amazing rescued snakes,my wonderful hound dog&my beautiful guppies,guppies & more guppies 😁

It needs to be bigger but it’s still kind of cute **meow**

Guppies need room, but as for depth? I'd go, maybe 20cm (about 8 inch) max? That thick substrate might probably one of the most ingenius things I've seen. Along with the plants, the natural filtration must be insane and natural food (micro and macro fauna) that is able to grow there must be insane. Just to be very clear, I'd pick a wide pot and do the same thing (repeat water depth about 8 inch and fill the rest with sand and dirt and minerals)

Awesome overload!!!

When I had the Sears desk in my secondhand shop, there were stories of a catalogue recall because a customer complained that if you focused on just the model's armpit it looked like a vagina.

11:07 Me, when someone opens the light at 3 a.m
