Came back after 2 years. i forgot how nice these videos are

Everyone: I go to this vacation spot ME: U guys go to vacation?

After 8 years of research and planning, I'm finally putting together my first tank. this show has helped me so much the past few months to stay motivated. So happy it's Monday again :)

Hi chris! Its me TinyChibiFox! My Community tank is a 25 Gallon (I believe. for me its 80 Litres) My Pleco is actually v small, he came from a poor breeder tank at PetsAtHome and just has never grown. I did have him in a 150 Litre but he wasnt thriving! Now he's slowly growing and im hoping to move him back to his bigger tank soon! My sand has 2 different Fertilized soils in (you can kinda see a hint of it bottom right), Thank you so much for featuring my tank! Absolutely made my day!

The deep substrate was an overcompensation. I had some ammonia fears so I dumped way too much inert sand. This tank is due for some proper redo even though I changed some plants and it's looking way better.. I appreciate the exposure.

My family sometimes goes to Croatia, and we know a beautiful Rocky-beach where you can literally go into the water and be surrounded by fish EVERYWHERE Its so colourful and absolutely stunning to snorkel there. Having a school of fish around you is such a cool feeling :D

when i first started my tank the worker at the petshop explained nothing about filtering or cycling and said it would be fine to put a betta with other fish. I had a sword tail guppy and common pleco and the betta killed the guppy and sword tail. then the betta died from swim bladder disease and I don't know why the pleco died but It probably died from there being no filter. Thankfully now I know how to take care of fish 🐠

Favourite vacation spot is definitely my mum's house, across the country from me and in the middle of nowhere Ireland. Surrounded by trees and wild goats is my idea of a good time 😂

7:25 those are tuna crab also known as squat lobsters

My favorite vacation spot is away from work, with my family, great weather, great food, and just exploring wherever we travel! We try to go to new places every year. This year, we will be checking out Kentucky and Tennessee!

Me: I need to mow the lawn... KZfaq: but wait, there's a Fish for Thought video.

I’m sick today and staying home from school. Almost forgot it was Monday, thank god I saw this!

watched every ftr and most of the other random vids in like 2 weeks, ended up buying a 50 gallon tank because of this channel and now im gonna start setting up a small fish corner in the basement to chill with

Thank 👏🏽 goodness 👏🏽 it’s 👏🏽 Monday! 👏🏽 ❤❤❤

So cute how the scorpions grab the roaches with their pincers 😍😍😍

Another great FTR! Sometimes the only thing that gets me through a Monday is the prospect of watching fish tank review when I get home. [qotw: my favorite vacation spot is naples]

Every beach is my vacation spot 😤❤️

Mixing colors of shrimp does NOT produce only brown. Normally when people mix shrimp it's in a community skittles tank where the colored shrimp are being picked off by your fish because they are so easy to see compared to the browns. KeepingFishSimple has several videos of mixing many different colors , and I've mixed many colors as well. You see browns because the young colored shrimp are way easier for your fish to see.

A fish tank dont neeeed a heater just like your plane dont neeeeed a routine check up...

Copper falls Wisconsin. I love hiking the trails

Vacation stop would be Thailand ! Inexpensive and you can go fish tours! 🙌

Hey Chris. I recently rescued a betta from my job (i work at a local pet store) he is currently in a planted 2.5 with a filter and a heater. I bought the "betta substrate" and "betta rocks with live bacteria for bettas". He started building a bubble nest the other day. I have betta pellots and freeze dried blood worms for him. In two pay cycles he is beinf upgraded to a 15 gallon.

If you like nature vacations visit sequoia national park. Crazy beautiful! Saw deer literally emerging from a big whole in the base of a giant tree. Literally unreal. Also Kodiak Alaska is gorgeous!

Favorite vacation spot is Lisbon because of the massive aquarium with the Takashi Amano scape. It is the best place in the world.

LOVE the new outro song!!!! I can't wait to send in pics of my tanks some day! I have 2x 75 gallons, a 60 gallon tall with Discus, a 40 gallon breeder with baby angelfish, a 39 bowfront with a fire eel (moving to one of the 75s soon) a 15 gallon column with a single betta, a 2.5 gallon shrimp tank, a 20 gallon long shrimp tank and a few other tanks too!

The absolute best vacation spots are Cape Vincent and Alexandria Bay in NY, in the north country. Gorgeous and the Riverboat tours are an absolute must!

Favorite vacation spot is Breckenridge CO in January or February. Skiing, snowboarding, tubing and some of the most beautiful views just about anywhere you look

Big Bend National Park in Texas. 1,252 sq miles of the most amazing scenery and unique ecologies. Fantastic camping and hiking. don't go in the middle of summer unless you like temps well above 100° F.

Short-finned betta and a group of panda cories in a beautifully scaped tank... Make it a 20 gallon long and it'd be perfect! And I love the dog analogy! It's exactly the case. If you wouldn't do it to your dog, you shouldn't do it to *any* pet Very cute idea with the pleco pointing to the pH and being the same color as it XD Plecos are such quirky little things like that 💕

4:04 "what do you think this fish thinks about?" freedom

I'm gonna be that gross one and say that my favorite vacation spot is next to my SO and/or tending to my plants. Nothing/nowhere else resets my anxiety and gives me that rare dopamine hit.

This morning I was on my phone waiting for the ftr btw Love your videos keep up the great work

so glad this vid blessed my monday

Another Monday, another FTR🎉

Those crabs are actually squat lobsters ...

Just got back from Rome, it was cool but hit up an aquarium shop in Ireland on the way that was chefs kiss.

Favourite vacation spot? I'd like to go various places but the best place to chill out for me is anywhere in the Dutch province of Drenthe countryside. It's where my roots are and the people are so chill. If I were ever to have a fish shop and breed fish commercially, I'd want one in an old Saxon farm house. Few weeks ago I was at a pancake restaurant in Aalden, I'd like a place like that! I would take plenty safety and insulation measures though. Thatched roofs and all of those electrics with the tanks inside, you know. Fish tanks where they used to have cows.

that marimo moss ball looked like one of the artificial alternatives they have now. Because of zebra mussel larva being found in imported ones they are banned for import to the US and likely also Canada as zebra mussels are invasive.

Jeez I forgot it was Monday almost missed it, well how are you chris? My cycle crashed I did to big of a water change ): the struggles of a fish keeper, hope your having a good day!!!

Going back to visit my family in Hawaii, but otherwise camping at various national parks on a cross country trip in 2018 was very fun too.

I went to cura coa ( sorry for the bad spelling) for scuba diving a few weeks ago and it was amazing I saw beautiful coral reefs and a giant variety of fish many of which were very poisonous. Such as puffer fish (the size of a football) and scorpion fish. It was really cool and had some of the best diving and snorkeling I have ever seen. Their were at least 200 different species hiding around an oil rig (was being fixed for a long time according to our dive instructor). Which was really sketchy because I turned the corner around one of the pipes (in the shadows by a 300 foot drop off with nothing to see) and saw the giant puffer fish 2 feet ahead of me. What was sad though was the dead coral beds on the bottom of the reef. It makes you realize how badly we are damaging the environment. I also wish I brought a under water case for my phone so I could of gotten some pictures.

Rarotonga gotta be my favourite vacation spot as a fish keeper. Was snorkeling every day and swimming with turtles!

yaaaaaaaas, as the keeper of huskies for a couple decades, I will point out that you need an eight foot impenterable fence, a B I G yard, or a bike and a sledding harness so you can mush down the trails an hour a day... otherwise they eat the couch...

I am going to get a 20 gallon fish tank. I love this content keep it up.

The crabs are so funny 😂😂😂 7:16

I personally love going to Lake Balaton every once in a while It doesn't quite replace sea shores, but the lakeside is still plenty room for some great times!

Yeah, bettas are territorial so they definitely need bigger tanks for a larger range… although there’s one endangered species of Betta where it’s supposed to common for them to live in the crevices of palms during droughts… I still wouldn’t recommend containing them in small tanks.

QOTW. I am an avid camper and love it just about anywhere. I also love the night sky when I can get far enough away from light pollution. I live next to a national park and that is my favorite spot for now.

chris posts these videos on tuesday school time for me

Love your videos! Keep it up 💓

that betta in the first clip looks like a "king betta," aka a giant betta, because they get to be lorge bois. the crabs are called squat lobsters, they're neat lil dudes

Chris, you may think you're the best host, but I'm not sure the FTR crew would agree... Muy Buenos Dias everyone!! Wishing all a super radical week!! QotW; I've never been on a proper vacay, but places I've always wanted to travel to are Costa Rica, India (specifically to see Scarlet Badis and Mud Skippers going native) and the EU.

New Zealand is my favorite vacation country - the scenery completely changes in a 2 hour drive in any direction. So much outdoorsy stuff to see & do!

4:55 heavily planted tank.. Has not yet seen a MD fish video.. Bwo never left fff channel :)

Chris be calling my want for a husky out and making fun of the fact I can’t cuz my apartment is to small and I work to much 😭

Yo it's me, Chuckle Cheesecake! I swear I love my snails I post all the time in the discord that my female, Flower, will hang out on my hand 😭 The eggs are a small price to pay for my darling little critters

Top of the morning to y'all!!!

Did you see father fish dropped a video recommending keeping bettas in jars because "in the wild they live in puddles"

Made me go hug my huskies and promise them i wont ever keep them like that lol.

My vacation spot is infront my fish tank when I'm not at work

Epic Rap Battles of History. CHIRS of Fish for Thought versus Clint of Clint's Reptiles ... BEGIN!

My favorite vacation spot is either camping or islands

6:09 DO YOU NOT REMEMBER THAT TANK 🥹💀💀💀

New song in the credits! Now we need a greatest hits album.

Always got fft waiting for me after the worst day of the week

Those ‘crabs’ look like squat lobsters.

sadly the nerites leave egg trails everywhere and their eggs are way harder to remove. they leave little white spots all over your rocks and wood, i only use amano shrimp and otos for algae cleanup now

Love ur videos ❤u got me into fish keeping

I love starting my morning with this. favorite vacation is baraboo wi

7:28 Funny you mention them looking like lobsters. These are actually called squat lobsters!

Anywhere near the ocean... Thank you for asking!

Fav vacation spot would be bodega bay for the camping!! Went there a lot as a kid

my favorite vacation spot is home

I don't like to go on vacation I rather stare at my fish tanks XD

Finally the king has upload 👑

Where do you get the fish bridges from and what keywords do you need to search for it with? I was looking for one a while ago but didn’t have any luck with finding them for sale anywhere I looked online so I think I must’ve been using the wrong search terms or maybe they’re all custom made by the people that own those fish tanks? I like the idea you had for maybe connecting two 75 gallon aquariums with a fish bridge and I think it would turn out amazingly and it would hopefully avoid the problem of having too much water weight on the floor surface per square foot like I think the bigger standard size tanks have to either be on a cement slab foundation first floor or in the basement because the second floors of houses aren’t built to hold that much water per square foot unless they’ve been specifically structurally reinforced, also the really big tanks look like they would be difficult to get home at all and getting them into the house and into place without dropping and breaking them would be really difficult and they’re also way more expensive too than the slightly shorter length smaller ones would be if I just got two of those ones. I forgot to say my favourite holiday is usually to stay at a rented cottage in Ontario cottage country or over in Quebec on a motor boats prohibited lake surrounded by a forest with some of my extended family, or camping at the various national and provincial parks, it gives us the chance to relax together and catch up on how everyone is doing and I really like canoeing and watching the animals in nature and swimming if it gets too hot but I also really like that sort of vacation because it very rarely gets too hot because of the wind off of the lake and the shade from the forest makes it feel cooler and it’s usually pretty quiet too and we can usually barbecue and have a campfire if the fire danger is low enough too which is also really nice.

Fav vacation spot: my home!

QOTW: Anywhere with good fish, fossil hunting, or both. Caspersen, Florida, and almost anywhere in Montana are great places for both

Chris! Can you make a tier list of fish/aquatic pokemons or other aquatic creatures from games? Dream fish team, keepability, estimate tank/pond size, coolness, etc Might be fun to make such videos! Smash or pass list would be weird so please don't + everyone already know that Zoras and some odd pokemons are on that list xD

QOTW: Assateague Island National Seashore, east coast barrier island, US, MD and VA. Wild ponies, endangered species, and sometimes, just sometimes, fun snorkeling in the eelgrass beds.

Chaotic-neutral pleco, lol

I have two 75 gallons next to each other too. Been thinking about an aqua bridge but not sure if the neocaradina would like it when some of the barbs come to visit.. 🤔

Great vid keep it up..

The older I get the more my favourite vacation spot is just At Home 😅

Yes i agree betas should be treated better but somehow my aunt had a beta in a small tank w no filtartion lasted over 10 years

Fav vacation spot is Seyschells

MY DOO DOO BROWN COLORLESS SHRIMP ARE NOT DOO DOO BROWN... I'm doing a Science: various shrimp colors create wild type, wild type washed with red, black with camo stripe, deep chocolate with camo stripe (down the dorsal/back so they look like a rando piece of plant). Also it's fun to play "where's Waldo" and find the colorful shromp.

Love these episodes. Hoping one day you can review my tanks haha😎

Lol my 5 mysteries over the year have had about 200 spawn and now I have 20 adults that have just spawned, 2/6 off the egg clusters have hatched and I am happy to soon be having more food for my fish to munch on and the assassin snails to see how many reach adulthood

Yay birthday FFT!

Hello Chris :)

I’m getting a small tank for a pretty betta. My dream would be a large tank with some discus fish!

My favorite vacation spot is a lake back where my mom lives. It’s 100% preserved as in no houses or motor boats. It’s called Rifle River Rec Area in Michigan. 10/10 beautiful and clean water. That or Rhode Island I will admit I love my seafood

I think it’s a type of rabbit snail not a MTS. It probably doesn’t dig deep enough to annoy the hydra.

I have family in Door County - Wisconsin, It's super nice there. I've visited a few times. So I guess I would say there.

those are squat lobsters which are not really lobsters and are in the same order as the porcelain crabs which are not really crabs. This is carcinisation at it''s best

Favorite vacation spot is the Colorado Rockies.

@ 0:57 mins. Look at the ventral fins being long, red with a white tip... It is a male Betta, a Betta Plakat.... Hard to see on a laptop screen what the size is, it looks like a King Betta or a Giant Betta to me....

my science teacher had the exact same shelf with a bowl of guppies. I thought he knew the nitrogen cycle.
