Danios are great but they're SO FAST! It's impossible to catch them if you need to transfer them to a different tank or whatever you're doing. I have long finned danios and they're very beautiful and super active but yeah, they're almost as hard to catch as kuhli loaches.

Omg what a small world! I watched another video you guys made about Petco in LaPlata and I'm thinking well they are somewhere in Maryland, neat. I was born and grew up in Glen Burnie and House of Tropicals has been there forever and I just turned 60. For those in Anne Arundel county and Baltimore proper it's literally the last stop on the light rail across the street. I wouldn't buy a 125 gallon that way but everything else it's great. I agree if you want to spend time with staff don't go on Saturday afternoon. I just got back into the hobby after 15 years with a 20 gallon and you videos are awesome, thanks! Btw I have a few Albino Buenos Aries tetra and they can be bossy but not to the point of calling them semi-aggressive.

Didn’t know you were as “local” as you were. Nice to have a hobbyist that isn’t KZfaq’ing from Florida or Cali. Keep up the good work KG Tropicals. PS, shout out to my man Kevin at HoT
