As a pond guy, I just wanna watch chris do a pond review.

Got my 5th tank for Christmas! I’m 15 and love the hobby. Water change every Sunday, water tests on Fridays. I have autism and this is my special interest which I love cuz it means my fish are well taken care of since I’m soooo in to the science and love doing maintenance. New tank is a 10g, White sand with Fluvial stratum under it, drift wood (spider wood), real rock, lots of annubius and other plants. Once cycled it will be for a pea puffer!

Your videos are the only videos where i don't check how much longer is left, but when it is over, i am depressed

" *I can't even trust you to keep bacteria alive* " SHOOT DANG that's a 3rd degree EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

the background plant in the “count the problems” tank is a dracaena houseplant which will grow emersed but definitely not submerged! It’s a common houseplant Chris you should add it to your collection, very easy to care for

Years and years ago when I was new I had a gold comet in a 40 with pothos. Damn did that pothos grow thick. The vines coming out of the tank were about half an inch in circumference and the leaves were huge

Chris, I heard you once said while building Tamagos tank I heard you once say:"Imagine if somebody got a 125 gallon tank and put plants and only neon tetras" or something like that. Well Chris I thought: "Hmm that is a good idea for a 100 gallon tank. But, instead of neons I put lambchop rasboras(yeah I think the names for rasboras are ussually lame)". So after weeks, I finally did it.

Happy holidays everyone!! My favourite thing about Christmas is time spent with family

Friend: I think I wanna get fish Me: bombards them with information about taking care of a fish until they don't know what a fish is anymore Me: ends up making the tank for them anyway

Watching holiday movies with my daughters has to be my favorite thing about Christmas

My favorite thing about Christmas is there is always board games and/or science depending on what children got for Christmas. I buy them science kits so I can do them too!

my fav is when xmas is over! not to be a grinch... i love it, i just work myself to death making things for gifts and am so stressed and tired by the time its here. relaxing at home AFTER its all done is my fav.

Ahahaha that last one. I knew anubias and crypts didn’t grow super fast, but they should’ve at least sprouted one new leaf in six months. Turns out my gold barbs were eating all my new growth and the softer leaves as well. My LFS got a free school of them one day, lol. I’ve had those plants longer than I had those fish and pretty much any other fish come to think of it 🤔

This video has reminded me that its Monday, not Sunday, and that i need to put my bins out. Only way to tell the day of the week is via KZfaq uploaders sometimes.

My dad was of the belief that a 10 galon aquarium was too big for my betta. He got some tankmates for him when I was busy with work. Now I need to save up for a second aquarium for those fish, because my betta is extremely annoyed

I don’t feel like buying a super big tank but when I grow up I want to and just make it awesome

9:19 ahhh, hearing that kerning city BGM from maplestory hit me with nostalgia i wasn’t ready for 😭♥️ great video chris!!!!

So I was watching one of your old videos, and noticed the tank in the background on the right. And wow! It has really changed over the months (in a good way).

Fav thing about Christmas is new fish stuff and family time

Presents are my favourite. I enjoy giving and receiving gifts. I also like to make custom gifts such as paintings, as an artist.

My favourite thing about Christmas is being woken up by my excited son to open presents... ...at 5am. Christmas is a long day. 🎄

My fav thing about christmas... Seeing my kids smiles

My favorite thing about Christmas is how happy my mom is, we also got our first Christmas goose yesterday because I raised us one!

Tbh the bar for good fishkeeping is set so low. Like at this point if you don't put your betta in saltwater it's a miracle

I've had mollies for years and aside from grazing on algae they leave my plants alone. My banjo cats and pagoda snails, on the other hand, really like to rearrange anything that's in their way.

Happy holidays and see you next year Chris 🫡

What I like the most about Christmas is it being over.

My fav thing about Christmas is making scarves for my friends and family. I can arm-knit a scarf in about 20 mins so I don't get stressed over time constraints. My biggest problem is picking out the yarn LOL

I was sick as a dog on Xmas and Monday so I am just now watching this and I'm so happy.

I do not understand how a creature that eats almost exclusively FRUIT can have SO MANY GIANT SHITS. Cresties are an enigma.

Me: Setting up a 30 gallon planted aquarium for a betta and cory catfish asking myself if Chris would approve or not.

the idea that these pet keeping is kind of a conservation effort is why i like to get the live bearings that are hard to find at least breed them once.

My favorite thing about Christmas is, well we don’t really celebrate Christmas so yea idk but… it would be spending time with family specially with my cousins.

6:00 those plants in the background (if they are real) are semiaquatic and will drown when fully submerged. They are similar to indoor bamboo but variegated.

Happy Holidays, Chris! Is getting together with family & friends! 🙂

I’m gonna be getting my first corydoras within the next two days! I’m so exited

Ohnoooo -- We have Mollies also refusing to let our grass grow out ! How do we fix this ? We only have a ten gallon set up as halfway, but the mollies are in a 20gal long !

My favorite thing about xmas is the moss named after it.

Transparent acrylic box makes tank smaller

Merry Christmas to you and to you all, though I am late. QOTW: best thing about Christmas is food. Though where I live there are Christmas songs and a couple of interesting traditional refrains or "ritournelles " added. That music sure is groovy.

Pretty Pumped I joined a local fish club! St.Catharines and Area Aquarium Society. I got some black bar endlers from the auction!!!

My crayfish had a tug of war on a dying plant stem

i keep a few fish but still my favourite part of christmas was eating salmon, next QOTW should be do keep and eat fish

Interestingly, when I see videos of professional aquaponic systems, the fish are usually enormous salmon or similarly sized monsters that are crammed into a tank far too small to keep them healthy long term, albeit in a much larger overall water system. However, they are usually using food grade fish which they remove, sell and replace after a couple weeks.

First time I've seen a 5/5, and it didn't even have fish in it 😂

Lmao 🤣 " I can't even trust you to keep bacteria alive"

I like the food and presents during Christmas. Just ordered some live cultures recently so I'm excited for them. 😊

Giving my friends gifts. My favorite part

My favorite thing about Christmas is sleeping

This really is my favorite monday show. Thanks Chris

2am on a tuesday morning and freshly posted FTR keeps me going

Main host Repashy looking extra glorious today!

I have axolotls, and it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that those derps are critically endangered in the wild. What surprises me is that they lasted as long as they did. I adore my lotls, but they're really not an animal designed for survival.

I just ordered a 16 gallon waterbox for my 2 blue dwarf gourami. I can't wait to plant it

QOTW: My favourite thing about Christmas? First is time with family. Second favourite is picking out or making things to give people

At first I thought that Repashi was dead, then he moved.

Chris: hydrocotyle The captions since my computer speaker's broken: hydrocado

QOTW: I love that free time with my family (also I have more time for my animals), christmas tree decorated with glass ornaments, all the food (I am from Czechia - I enjoy our traditional fasting/christmas eve dish - fried carp) and festive mood. :-) And in my country we spend a lot of time on Christmas by watching fairy tales. I like that too.

Chris, can a female betta and neon tetras live in a 10gal without any issues?

So chirs Couple weeks ago i got myself a pair of neon acaras For my 55g These things are so sweet They follow me as i walk about the tank And they even eat out of my hands Slightly nipping it if i don't have food in it Really Among the cutest fish species i have had Would recommend 5/5

qotw: my favorite part of xmas is when it's over

I've got a 40g planted with a 20g bucket underneath filled with several submerged filters, lava rock, heater, lighting, lots of pothos and using it to grow out stem plants. Does my 20g bucket quality as a sump? Also guys I designed and 3d printed my overflow, tube extensions and such and let me tell you 2$ of material vs 60-100$ to order one.

went to a local zoo with mostly crocodiles they had tons of cool fish in the various enclosures like mbuna and synodontis buttikoferi tilapia, tinfoil barbs and lemon fin barbs and endlers, guppies, bristlenoses and some huge neon tetras

My CPDs are laying 80 - 100 eggs every 3 days I got my first load on christmas morning. Nice little treat to hatch out! My favorite thing about Christmas is when it's over. 😛

"Whomst is he?" I saw that chonker SAE and my immediate thought was "Did they take this picture at my local pet store!?" because someone dropped off a monster SAE like that some months ago at my local fish/reptile shop and I IMMEDIATELY snatched her up! Except, mine looks even BIGGER than that one! Last I measured, mine was pushing seven inches now and THICCCCCC. Thicker than that SAE, even! Somehow she is a master at hiding though, and I rarely ever see her among all the plants in my aquarium. ....Until I put a treat in there for the shrimp, and then her piggy ass comes out like the eldritch beast she is and goes whole hog eating all the delicious shrimp food LOL. They rarely ever get a bite once Big Bertha smells that Ultra Supple.

Beginner: oh no my fish tank is dirty! Fish tank keeper: fish tanks get dirty?

Good job Chris

Me: *thinking my fish wants to die.* My fish having a 30 gallon heated, filtered and planted tank: 🐠

I got a fish for thought hoodie for Christmas!!! Woot woot!!!!! I am super happy.

Great imagination and sensitivity

We need some fish for thought betta fish freestyles

Where can I send you a video of my 6 gallon cube? It’s one of my first “true” aqua-scape and I wanna show you because I feel like you’d like it. I’ve been watching for a while but I just now subbed😂

I have never submitted a tank and don’t know if I ever will but I STILL design my tank so that I won’t get roasted on FTR. Happy New Year 🎉

Merry Christmas Chirs!

Thank you once more for making Monday the best day of the week!

Mm.. last time I did a water change the waterhose leading new water into the tank exploded.. water everywhere. I'm not terrified to do the next waterchange..

Waiting on some new amanos and floating plants to come in and super hype! Can't wait to watch everything grow! And my favorite thing about Christmas is spending time with loved ones. This year was different since mom got sick so I didn't get to see my family. My boyfriend invited me for dinner with his family and it was so great! I got to try beef Wellington for the first time (absolutely 🔥🔥🔥), played bingo and won a blanket, and we played something called wonderball/doubles. The game is pretty much where you have to open a ball made of Saran wrap and it's loaded with prizes, you have to open it with oven mitts or gloves on as fast as you can to get prizes, the person next to you has to roll a pair of dice and get doubles as fast as they can and you keep going until they get doubles and pass it to them. It really helped me get into the spirit after feeling sad about not seeing my own family.

With the 1st one it looked more like a 10 gallon and 100% definitely had a hard-core filtration system going on there was too many fancies in their but he could probably do 1 fancy in they're arguably it wouldn't be the best space why's but personally I'd do alot of guppies with a breeding trio of bristlenose personally

So favorite thing of Christmas is just having my school break lol Also I just wanted to comment that I have two common goldfish, I’ve had them for almost a year now, they’re in a 20 gallon - v - I would love to relocate them since they’re growing quite big also I would NOT have gotten them AT ALL if not for them being rescues from a left over science experiment of one of my previous biology classes. I seriously do not like having them in the 20 gall, but I live in an apartment and I’m still in high school (plus the apartment I live is really small) and my mom is adamant to not allow me to get another bigger tank. My cousin was gonna take them once they got bigger but my aunt and uncle got divorced so, it’s not really an option (he was building like an actual p o n d, but yea :v) The goldie’s tank is empty except for some substrate and a couple plants, and I do water changes as often as I can, hopefully I’ll be able to build myself a nice outdoor tank soon (I have a very small backyard) without to much trouble from my mom cuz my goldfish seriously need an upgrade :,,) and if I do I’d love to get a betta or my tank be filled with guppies or some other type of schooling fish with tons of plants :3

I enjoyed this video so much I pressed the Like button twice

Merry Christmas my dude!

2:51 EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!

Merry Christmas

I see all these pretty tanks and look at my overgrown jungle mess...

I wanna wish you a Merry Chirsmas!

Goldfish are actually one of the best for aquaponics and growing plants in water.

so glad your crested gecko is doing well, my cat broke into mine’s cage (i put aluminum foil on top to keep them off but orange cats gonna do orange cat things) and he messed my crested up a little bit. i’m hoping he’ll pull through, seems to be doing ok about a week later, but i’m upset that he dropped his tail after having him for about 10 years. he has some scratches and a tiny prolapse coming from his cloaca, i’ll give him another week or two to see if he improves and if not i’ll be forced to euthanize him

I don't even think my 36 gallon is enough for my 6 neon tetras, they're way happier than their first tank I had them in, but still no breeding. You can tell they're THRIVING with all the swimming space though. (They were in a 10 gal before)

Relationship advice.... careful using the word Chonky around your significant other, they don't know our words for Chonky fish. 🤣

Hanging out with my fish and family

Merry Fishmas

I had to ask u chris I got 2 male and 6 female Guppy and the problem is that are populating like crazy but that not the crazy part is shrimp,snailand i dont know how the loach breed i am going crazy i have a 30 aquarium can u tell what to do

I have a 33 gallon long. It’s 4 ft wide and I LOVE the tank. Unfortunately as I am reaching the end of my degree, I cannot maintain it anymore and I made the hard decision in moving most of my plants into a 10 gallon. That also meant I had to move the fish, 4 ember tetras, 5 khuli loaches, two neon tetras, and a single red eye tetra. If you’re asking why such weird numbers… many of my fish died when I neglected my tank. This is the main reason why I decided to downsize. I’m tempted to get rid of all the fish and just put a beta in there but I don’t know how to surrender my fish and I wish I had more time to maintain my big tank🥲

I watched a video on New Caledonia, and I was surprised and disappointed. After researching Leachies, gargoyles, and creaties, I had this image of their home that was mossy and thick, like Madagascar or Papua-New Guinea. Well, it’s not. New Caledonia is kind of sandy, sparse, and brambly…lots of dry wood piles and tall, dry grass. Not at all what I pictured!

I DEMAND ANOTHER KING CHONK UPDATE

It is almost ep 200 🎉

*EMERGENCY!!!* i and my sister own two betta fish, a male dumbo and female koi. They both live in 3.5 gallon filtered tanks. I live in the southeast so even tho didn't yet have a heater our climate i thought was ideal. Recently there was a MASSIVE temprature drop so i decided to move the fish on our bathroom counter in two tuperwares next to a space heater. Today i walked into our bathroom and our floor was *wet.* so i go over and realize MY DUMBO'S TUPERWARE IS KNOCKED OVER. turns out my cat got to the fish and decided to strike and... You know, do what cats do. After an *extremely* frantic search i found my beloved dumbo on the floor completely still. I rushed him to his tank and while he is still mobile, he's extremely slow and lethargic (if i jad to guess, from shock), he has massive tears in his fins, visible wounds on his body though i dont think anything too deep for what it's worth, and i suspect at least one of his eyes were severely injured because he really doesnt seem to be aware of his surroundings. It's been around 15 minutes and i've set up a .5 gallon hospital tank with manually regulated water tempratures, one milliliter of stress coat, and 1/4 a teaspoon of aquarium salt. I am still a complete newbie in fishkeeping and although i have done research i have absolutely *no idea what i'm doing* 😭😭😭. I'm hoping to get some methelyne blue tomorrow, along with an actual tank heater and a bigger, at least 2 gallon hospital tank. PLEASE someone guide me i really don't want to lose my beloved smack!!!!

Think abt it, it’s almost summer again

Hey Chris, I just got my fish today in my 29 gallon freshwater. I got 11 neon tetras and four mollies. One of my female mollies is hiding from everything. Do you know why?

Best thing about Xmas is all of the chocolate. Errr'y day!
