That first one is 10/5. The detail an realism is insane - respect for all the work that took! I could seriously just stare at that all day.

Oh man, that 1st scape deserves 6/5, so pretty! QOTWA: Salty liquorice, I'm nuts about it😅💚

5:21 those are marsilea. basically underwater clover. they are more like hydrocotyl. you can grow them as a carpet or as a bush. they send out rhizomes everywhere and will cover the bottom tank like carpeting plants but you do need to do more trimming to keep individual leaves the same-ish height to make it look like a carpeting plant. i like these because even when they grow into a dense carpet, there is still a lot of swimming space for baby fish/shrimp to swim around underneath the umbrella leaves. that makes marsileas ideal for keeping semi-aggressive fish with smaller fish/shrimp or their fries.

There's an outdoor restaurant in my dad's hometown where they put the dining tables in the river bank. The river is so clean that you can see all the first swimming around your feet. The outdoor setting looks much better than the overstocked, modern-looking cafe in that picture.

The first tank is such a wonder that genuinely has me freaking out. To hand craft that and make it suitable for a fish tank is a huge task and I wish we had more businesses making pieces even half way as decent instead of giant corporations pushing out sharp, potentially poisonous, unsafe decorations. I WANT A SAFE AESTHETIC SUNKEN CITY FOR MY FISH DANG IT

Who was watching his videos waiting for his new vid

That first tank…wow. I had to give up aquariums but I’m in the terrarium circle, and that sort of look is just how I like my terrariums. Usually plastic decor is a no go but when they look like that. Perfection. I really want to have at least one tank with some shrimp.

Those are sparkling gourami breeding, they're bubble nesters, just like bettas, and they make a purring sound at each other! I love them

Don't worry, Chris. Daddy wasn't eating the eggs! He was taking them to put in his bubble nest that he probably built in the floaters but we couldn't quite see it in the video.

2:27 looked up L128 pleco, the blue phantom...georgeous 6:05 I think the livebearers are in the smaller overflow tank outside the main goldfish/ angelfish tank

Once I was at an eco event at school and we each had a stall to show off our school’s work to help the environment, but one of the schools, the one with a live chicken, also had a little jar with a betta fish and pink gravel. No filter, no heater. When I commented about it, someone from the school said : well you can put it in a bowl. I said : just because u can doesn’t mean you have to! They then walked away. What really made me mad was that it was at an ECO event. 😢

The Sparkling Gourami (7:20) takes the eggs up to a bubble nest like bettas! I’ve seen mine do it before lol, super cool behavior

All of my fish stuff for my college tank finally came today. I am so excited to get it all done and ready. And… I know I know.. we all know this. But this channel is literally the best fishy channel ever. Rock on! 🎉

I've one seen a tank on internet even better than the 1st one, it was a floating village with bridges between houses, with Stone forest and there was even a small fisherboat floating with a little fisherman in it . I dont remember where i saw this though its been too long

That big fountain tank is a really cool concept but it's so sterile and boring inside, like there's no plants or sand or snails or anything so the fish are just swimming around in really clean water with some rocks. Like you could do anything with that and they went with the single most 'nothing' décor possible.

Thank you for making Monday great once more! Your fish content is fantastic and I appreciate it! ❤

One of my female Bettas has one eye. Her name is Cy. She is with another female named Franny in an Endler tank. My other Endler tank has a short spined female Betta who I can't think of a name for. She is translucent so her deformity is visible. She did get stuck in the in-take pre-filter of the hand-on-back, but got herself out when I turned off the filter.

Love the tank with the village built in. Very unique!

My Petco betta had tiny fins and after just 2 months blues exploded all over his fins while his body is still orange. Fins are huge since he is a double tail. So satisfying.

I’ve always been a big fan of well executed diorama style.

Top o the morning FTR crew! Wishing all a superbly wonderful week! Don't bother touching grass, touch aquatic plants instead! Spoil your pets! Rescue a betta if you have the space!✌️

I saw that your video came out on Monday and I was like "No, I will save you until Tuesday". Now it's 1 day closer to when your next video comes out and I don't have to wait as long! Great video once again! FFT master race.

Chris you always manage to make my day! I love your content so much I binge stream every fish tank review while waiting for the new upload,because if you I have started and love aquascaping,thank you Chris ❤

Happy FFTday!! The first tank is epic!! I love that they stocked it with White Clouds. Plain M&Ms are my weakness when it comes to candy.

Mind is completely blowned!! Never seen something like that.

Morning yall, have a great day 😊

My partner and I look forward to watching your videos, especially to start our weeks right on Monday mornings ☀️. We had an idea that we wanted to share that we thought would be great for the channel : an advice section to your videos. We’ve been in the hobby for years but still run into questions. Maybe you could incorporate peoples questions on care into your fish tank reviews? We felt they were similarity related topics. It could even be it’s own regular content feature, ask Chris! Advice columns are great and you’ve gathered a great community for this 😇 Just an idea to further the content on the channel. We have been fans for a long time! Keep up the great work, Chris 🐟💓

Imagine the first tank with a watersprinkler that imitates rain like in some Terrariums.

i literally learned the diiference between a bristlenose and my common a few years ago on your channel. by then it was too late and i already bought both. i moved my common pleco to a bigger tank and am saving up to get my male bristlenose a better life too. altho he seems pretty content these past years.

Thank you for blessing my Monday and motivating me to get through my work day

Honestly, as a plant nerd it's very nice to see you enjoying your ZZs ^^ They look great!

The tank that had the mini vilage inside was absolutely amazing 😮❤ And for qotw, if im feeling fruity starbust, if i want chocolate, i go for the peanutbutter m&ms💖

That was the most beautiful Old world China houses is the most beautiful meticulously crafted masterpiece I've ever seen. They made that just to get a feature on your show 👏 👏

1:35 in California there’s a Asian fish store called OC shrimp, and they used to have a aqua scape like that. They don’t have it anymore but they have good stones❤

Nothing better than FTR with my morning coffee

The Chinese village blew my mind - that is pure magic. I would love to see a little boat floating in there.

see, the first one is soooogood, it's like, low, the moss and plants and everythings amazing, imagine a bigger one same vibe and everything but with that just being like, the center piece

First tank is amazing. It's actually what I've been brainstorming about in my head. I'd put in a couple of bonsais to loom over the houses

Oh man, that first tank reminds me of what I've been wanting to do for years. Basically the same type of thing, but with something like a huge 40 gallon long, and a "abandoned city" feeling, with a full city scape like New York, or San Francisco, the buildings broken down and being overtaken by flora and fauna, obvious lake or sea coming up at the bottom to "flood" the city, and then if I could do it properly to account for the husbandry, I wanted to make the top land half able to house a northern alligator lizard. That Is my bucket list dream paludarium and terrarium

Sup Chris thanks for the review . All my gourami are grown except for the three spot shes got a bit left to do . All are fine with each other , sometimes the two male opalnies fight but that's about it . They need a girl each . The angels are the most chill I have ever had I think I just got lucky there lol . The tank is 7 years old , my fire eel was in there since he was a baby and grew up with all the small fish, he never ate any ! He only liked bloodworms and frozen shrimp 😅 I did try other foods bit that's all he would take . I even had Odessa barbs breeding like crazy in there with eel at one point . I miss my eel but 1000ltr is much better for him . HELL YEAH 5/5 my day has been made !!! Thank you .

The first tank has taken the number one spot for tank goals! I NEED a tank like that!

Finally a current video!😁😁😁♥️♥️♥️♥️thank you!

I look forward to mondays because of this series!

THE BEST THING TO WAKE UP TO. thank Chris!

The village aquascape reminds me of minibricks' dioramas. They do alot of stuff like this, but its always artificial with clear resin instead of water. To see something similar as an aquascape just blows my mind. 10/10.

Great FTR! And for the "pets for a 5 gallon tank", a lot of where I look says that African dwarf frogs only need 3 gallons...so sad, I have 3 of my own happily in a 10 gallon, they move around a lot and need so much more space than a 5 gallon provides. Also, I didn't know that some gourami's can get that big till i read they can reach 1.5 ft! I think I will stick to honey gourami haha!

7:01 considering thats a gourami, i think its bringing the eggs to the bubble nest like bettas do. But im not sure, i havent googled yet.

You’re so freaking right 😮that 🐠 tank was amazing 🤩😻! It is phenomenal! 5 out of 5 for me too…..👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Dang dude, that looks amazeballs!!!👽🤠 The 1st one

There was a time I was absolutely convinced I vacuumed my neon tetra up in the middle of the night while I was doing a water change (I think it may have been an emergency water change) and the water was really dark, I remember sifting through the water meticulously before dumping it but it literally disappeared 😮‍💨

I have been keeping white cloud mountain minnows for over 20 years.White cloud mountain minnows are happiest in a strong current which the village tank does not have.

About a year ago, I saw a video which showed the construction of THIS tank. It was amazing!

Another banger of an ep, always makes my Tuesdays better, because I live in the future also known as Australia. QOTW: rhubarb and custard lollies. they're a hard candy that have the most delightful flavour combo, not easy to find but that only makes them more special when I can find them. hope you're having an awesome week fish fam!

The tanks reviewed in FTR always blew our minds every Monday. It is holiday today in our country and we are celebrating National Heroes Day. Salute to our heroes. ❤ My fave candy for QOTW would be Mentos, my good to go buddy 🥳

I just started accidentally getting into the fish hobby and figuring out through trial and error on natural aquascape, everything’s been great water good fish healthy and lively even able to hunt naturally only problem iv had is keeping my plants from floating up now and then so going to redo it in a few months and just keep moving the floating ones back to hold down areas for now

That aquarium diorama belongs in a museum like exhibit.

That tropical tank with goldfish and livebearers in it had all sorts of things wrong with it and all of them had to do with it not being in my house! Betta fish rehab seemed a little "fishy" to me. Recovery from spinal deformity? Not sure about all that. Favorite candy - Sweetarts or Sour Patch Kids.

Awesome fish tank. I really enjoyed seeing this.

watching this while sobbing cuz some1 ik died but istg this makes me feel sm better thank u 💗

New shipment of ultra rare species (some endangered too) of fish comin into our city! Really excited.. wish us luck, i hope the fish didnt die in transit.

Amazing video, really brightened up my day, also incredible content very clear and entretaining

I analyzed this post closely and I discovered two important details: One is the selective use of colloquial abstract representation of normative actions owing to the distinction in regulatory and derogatory affirmative relations to the binary sentences. This paragraph eschatology is nimbus to my blankata as I try to scrutinize pelagic fanatic ameliorate sepetication. I filomy selaque elucidate prudie of cremise elosis. In short and less deeper English, let me say I celesidate accume fatuous eloquently the derminor as I agrandize and aggravate felony. I belong aquicious maneuver squinting spacious melontic of my harbourous viniculor pericarditis. Thank you for understanding

You can most certainly put a hermit crab in a "5 gallon tank". OP did NOT specify that the tank was an aquarium, which implies that it will be filled with water. You can tell people to "Google it"...it's on them to Google it correctly

Hi Chris I love your content and I have a single betta fish in a planted 5 gallon aquarium

I second your statement on the unwanted bettas at the pet stores. After having bad luck with some of the healthier looking ones I’ve been trying to get ones that appear to have damaged fins or birth defects. Even if they end up not living super long in my care due to the conditions they came from before arriving at the store, at least they had a cozy 5g tank with lots of plants, hiding spots, and tannins (driftwood my beloved) for the last bit of their lives instead of living in a cup. Qotw: I’d say anything with chocolate (esp dark chocolate) is what I tend to go for most. Sometimes I’ll try weird and crazy chocolates just for fun too!

The fake trees in the background of the first tank were sorely underrated in your review. Love it!

My favorite candy changes weekly. My 4 year old neon tetra died last week I thought you would be proud considering everyone told me they only live 2 years- anyway off I go to do water changes

Watching his videos always make my day great❤

This fish tank with the houses in it & the earthy landscape is one of the most lit tanks there is!

I remember that medaka rice fish have been brought onto the ISS as well.

Smarties (our Canadian version, not American version) and Skittles. I recently tried Haw Flakes, and they are pretty close to joining my ranks of favourites too. 😋

I LOVE Mounds bars The dark chocolate and coconut mix 👌pure perfection

Good minnows. Good setups.

I've ended up with shrimp in the draining tube XD Just lifted the other end up and flushed his lil butt back into the tank. Totally unconcerned, he just went back to munching things the instant he landed, had me panicking.. then laughing >.>

That really blows my mind. I love the Asian village!

QOTW: My favourite candy is one I haven't seen in 50 years. When I was a kid our corner store had these square candies that came 2 in a package and they were similar in tast and texture to what Canadians call Rockets and Americans call Smarties, but they weren't exactly the same. I don't even remember the name.

I’m sitting on my balcony in Brisbane, cup of tea, Valium, mind blown.

I know they already got medaka to breed in space/there is currently a tank of them on the ISS. So more fish in space seems to be on par. I love my space cadet rice fish.

FTR is now my Monday morning routine, thank you Chris for the Video! ♡

Cherry on top of my day, first my new filter arrives and then a new ftr🙌

I really like ur videos. They are ameizing, keep up the good work

4:57 POPOL MAYA REFERENCE! TERRAFIRMA BACKGROUND!!!!!!

Bro, skittles are crazy good. The blue ones are so hard to find, but they’re so gooood

Pretty specific candy for me: it's a form of Easter Egg. Chocolate coated marzipan with a nougat core

Oh my god, that first one is life goals. I'd love to be able to reach that level of craftsmanship and skill.

That Rollie Pollie Ollie pic gave me flashbacks

Hey Chrrrs, The eggeater is a sparkling gourami, yes? It was probably depositing them in its bubble nest before the video cut.

Hey Chris, big fan of your vids, I recently just cleaned out my tank and I’m rescaping it right now, only thing is the gravel is rainbow barf mixture, but it still has all of the nutrients in it, what can I do to make it more natural but still keep all of that nutrients

Imo the goldfish tank is quite beautiful, lots of aeration and rounded rocks, their colors look vibrant and healthy... ...I'm still worried about the angelfish though

That America mural in the Sweet Fishs Cafe!!!

In saltwater you can definitely keep hermit crabs in 5 gallon Tanks, but land hermit crabs get way bigger.

My first thought was a pump for artificial rain, but lights would look super cool too

Ferretwonderland makes such installatians regulary, awesome channel, not really my type of tank/style but sure appreciate the effort put into them.

"L128" is actually a code or identification number used by hobbyists, breeders, and researchers to classify different species of catfish in the Loricariidae family. This numbering system is often used in the aquarium trade to distinguish between various species and subspecies, making it easier to track and discuss specific fish. And in this case "L128," refers to a specific species or variant of Pleco, which is the Blue Phantom Pleco (Hemiancistrus sp. L128). This code helps enthusiasts and sellers identify and communicate about this particular type of Pleco without relying solely on common names, which can vary and lead to confusion. It's essentially a way to standardize the classification and discussion of different catfish species within the Loricariidae family.

Another amazing video with another group of amazing tanks!

that goldfish tank was SO pretty. QOTW--- sour candy. Anything sour. Warheads are a little hard candy that's beautifully sour for maybe the first minute, and the other day I saw a Warhead soda which I am regretting not trying. All that sour + carbonation???? dude.

came across your chris for thought vids too, like the foodie stuff. did you know skittles are ban everywhere but US and Canada, of poisonous ingredients.

Diorama tank was amazing!

Absolutely incredible 🤯
