When I was buying my first fish tank, my family thought I was being excessive picking out a 5 gallon for a Betta fish. At first, the fish store employee recommended a 1 gallon and said I could fit six 1-2 inch fish in it. I awkwardly declined. She was nicer about it than my family though, and told me a 5 gallon was a great size for a Betta fish. So yay?

Fish absolutely can feel pain. There have been innumerable studies on this. Of course they do not have the emotional responses to pain that more complex organisms do, but if they did not interpret painful sensations as negative, they would not display aversive behaviors to painful stimuli. One of the studies actually administered a painful sensation when the fish fed. Within two feedings, they simply stopped eating. Even feed is not powerful enough to override the aversion to pain.

hey chirs! glo-fish were made to detect certain toxins in water. they wanted to insert genes into the fish that would "glow" in detection of certain toxin so it could be detected in water system. the 1st fish i believe were zebra danios. during this they also created the ones that glow in bright colors all the time. the creators and main distributors love that glo fish introduce people to the aquarium hobby that wouldn't have been introduced otherwise. it brings in a new generation of fish keepers because the colors are so alluring and fantastic. there are some problems (imo) with the glo-fish marketed items, but not the fish themselves. they are a genetically modified organism and property of a company so they are trademarked as well as the names.

personally i'm not a fan of the glo fish company, and i find it really weird that an entire type of fish can be trademarked (that's just uncomfortable to think about). it's technically illegal to breed them on purpose because of the trademark lol it's so creepy. the fish themselves though, are pretty cool. apparently they were first made in the late 90's to help with some environmental studies (i just recently found this out, it's pretty interesting so i'd definitely recommend reading about it). i have some that i got from my grandma because she has gotten to the point where taking care of them is too much for her to keep up with. i was kinda ehhh about it at first but after a day or two i started to love having them. they have so much personality!!! i wouldn't buy from the brand though. i really don't like how they market them essentially as toys.

I had a kuhli loach I named Neville (Long...bottom...get it?) and he disappeared completely. Not in filter, not on the floor, not in the gravel...so yes, can confirm kuhli loaches definitely have their own dimension.

So after all my fish died (despite doing anything & everything I could) i kind of gave up on fishkeeping. I kept putting food in the tank & topping it off because there were still plants & snails in there. Those didn't deserve to die bc I'm depressed, but other then that I gave up on maintenance all together. However, two weeks ago the power went out & when I got up to go to work the next day I was legit suprised. My last fish, a kuhli I named Rasputin bc he was the only fish left alive, after a year of not maintaining my tank was swimming around like 'why'd the filter stop last night?' I was legit shock bc I thought he died & the snails ate him. But no, he's fine. So I redid his room. Got new substrate, put more plants in, changed some decorations to be more natural, and impulse two new roommates. So yeah, kuhlis are kind of amazing lol

Dyed fish are banned in the EU as well as glofish, which the UK is resolutely not part of any more unfortunately (so expect glofish on your lfs shelves eventually, UK people). Never seen one irl bc of that.

My kuhli loaches are quite active. They shoot up and down after the lights go out. And even look for food during daytime. They mostly hangout under the "underwater tree" or inside the sword plant.

It seems they DO survive in lakes and streams, when the temperature is right. The natural predators don't recognize them as prey because of their strange colors and don't eat them as much as more normal looking fish. I read a study a few months ago that was monitoring populations of the zebra danio glow fish in the wild.

I hate people saying that glofish are blind. I have my own glofish betta, put him in a completely natural tank, ngl he doesn't even look like a glofish. The only way you can tell he is a glofish is the very slightly green eyes, which is hard to see, and if you turn the lights to a blue color lol. He just looks like an extremely pretty betta. Very nice, have had absolutely NO health problems so far, other than mild fin-rot from pet-store cup. He's an incredible centerpiece for my planted 20 long lol. He's one of my favorite fish ever, he's really sweet.

That triangle tank is actually a stroke of genius. All the detritus slides to the bottom point, where a simple filter intake would take care of all of it. The weak point being at the bottom doesn't matter, because it's locked into a bracket and is thus plenty supported. The tank is massively overstocked, and the scape is utter trash, but it would actually make a very good tank for dirty fish like livebearers. I have to gravel vac my P. Velifera tank every week because these fish are CONSTANTLY shitting, but this thing essentially cleans itself.

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with glofish. People usually live them or hate them. However many of the tanks marketed for them are often inappropriate. ❤️🐠

I feel bad for the glofish, most of the time they basically thrown in a 5 gallon with Neon gravel and neon fake plants , that sounds like a really bad LSD trip and they’re living their entire life in that. Just think about it how terrifying this has to be. It’s like living in a horror clown house.

With the dyed glass catfish, I think they are super rare, I've never seen or even heard of them before

Hey Chris! The reason why Glofish are trademarked is because the genetic sequence (for glowing) was patented as a Biotic. A Biotic patent is normally found in pharmaceuticals, but what it means in fish keeping is that no one can legally breed fish with the genetic sequence that belongs to Glofish. Otherwise, the parent company of Glofish can sue.

Idk if this is a universal experience, but from working in a store with a huge glofish section, both the schoolers and the Bettas, glofish enclosures grow WAY more green algae than regular fish. And it's not just the blue light, the glo Betta cups grew algae in them, I never once saw a regular Betta cup grow algae and non of them were lit at all.

As a kid, I owned around seven danio glofish and, regrettably, kept them in a 2.5 gallon tank. My mom got them for me with a kit and everything and they all lived all the three years we lived in one location, although I have no idea what happened to them when we were moving out our stuff. Looking back, I'm surprised none of them died while I had them. Tacky little plastic tank with an eventual snail outbreak, a lot of algae, and being taken care of by a nine year old who really really cared about them. I didn't think to use the internet to ask for fish help so I would ask our local fish store owner for advice on how to take care of things. The most my mom took care of was feeding them when I was away for long periods of time. Had no idea what I was doing, even doing nearly total water changes but these poor fish lived through all of it. So yeah, I'm pretty sure glofish are hardier than normal.

I wasn't a fan of Glofish previously, but my four year old wanted me to setup a tank for HIS fish a couple years ago. Of course he picked a Glofish. I now have four of these colorful guys and they are the only ones in their 20gal other than two Julie cats and two Ottos. They are all healthy, active, love the live plants, get along great, and have no issues at all. Still not my favorite fish, but I have a feeling they'll be around for many many years to come. By the way, your channel is my favorite...don't tell Irene.

When I was a kid, I had some white tetras with like bright red stripe on the top, but it faded after some time. Now, after watching this video, I think they were actually painted...that's sick... Now I have tetras which were already white. They are living for a long time, I hope they're happy

Chris: Welcome to Fish Tank Review Also Chris: Waits till the videos half way over before he starts reviewing any fish tanks

I sort of remember the painted fish briefly being a popular thing when I was a kid. And I thought they were cool until I found out what they did to the fish to "dye" them, so luckily I never got any. And it also didn't last long, the injections and tattoos fade pretty quickly if I remember right. But on the Glo fish I will admit, I recently ended up with one Glo Betta and she's one of my favorite fish of all time. My hang ups about them were mostly on principle.

As a European, I'd like everyone to remember that the UK left us. No crazy dyed fish where I live.

Not really a fan of glo-fish, it's not that they aren't OK to keep, I just prefer more natural style fish (even though I have a white guppy and red long fin Betta 🙄) I don't see any reason not for other people not to as long as they keep them in good conditions.

I'm scared to see what will happen to the fish and reptile hobby with how "easy" it is to find "information".

As a pond guy, gonna have to pass on the glow fish but still open to keeping them in one though. They look fun to keep as a school

Recently I got some black widow tetras, and the interesting thing about them is that when they're stressed, their black color completely fades away... I've never actually seen that so clearly before (but I know it's common behaviour for fishes). After like 2-3 minutes in new environment, their color came back. I also have some white tetras and together they look like brides and grooms 😀

I live in the UK and never heard of dyed glass fish,being told about them ruined my Monday.

Congratulations on 300k I can't believe I've been watching this channel for so long. I remember when you just only hit 3k

I'm heartbroken whenever I see GloFish because it just reminds me of the brat I had to clean up after during my job as a maid -- She had three GloFish, and she ended up leaving them on the kitchen table in a TINY tank, like a transport tank, with no filter, filthy water, a broken bubbler that leaked everywhere.... Unsurprisingly the fish ended up dying, but she left them there to rot -- I get teary-eyed thinking about what it must've been like for that last remaining fish, forced to live alongside the rotting corpses of their friends. But these fish survived so much, constant algae blooms, living alongside a beta/cichlids (i don't exactly remember), then finally being left to die in this tank for a week straight... When it was my time to clock in for work I had to clean out the tank, and these fish literally DISINTEGRATED. Like one got stuck and I reached in to pull it out, and it turned into JELLY. I've never kept fish before so idk if it's normal -- It really doesn't sound normal...

The glow fish today are genetically amended to glow. Those old school glass tetras that were injected-I refused to buy them. I know people seem to hate glowfish, but I have two yellow danios, and two red tetras in a twenty four gallon tank. They are very happy, I have ten neon tetras, a bristle nose pleco and three Cory cats. They have real plants mixed in with some very nice black light reactive plants. I have real black lights up top, so even the neon tetras look pretty at night.

Glo fish are what got me into the hobby! Kept them for about a year and then got into planted tanks. I caught all my glo fish out to take them to the store give them a new home and didn’t tear down their tank for about a week next thing I knew I had glo fish fry popping up everywhere! Cool experience I’ll never forget!

I will say, as a basic idea I love glow fish. it just sounds cool to turn on a black light or somethint and see them all hiding in a natural aquarium and see what they're doing, and generally when kept as intended (I know this for Betta, not sure for others) they return to normal after de stressing and being out of the lights to force the glow, but glow again when you put the light on. But most of the time people wanna keep them in "COOL CRAAAAAZY" blacklight tanks where it's all super artificial and all that

I am soon getting a pea puffer tank with about 3-5 in a 20ish gallon tank that is going to be *HEAVILY* planted for all their little puffer needs and I’ll also have some maybe some otocinclus or amano shrimps to eat up the algae and be nice little tank mates yes I have done all the research to make sure they are compatible together and I will comment when I get them and also post their tank on scapeism 👍🐡 puffers are the best type of fish, you can’t change my mind.

Glofish make me really uncomfortable. I don't think I've ever seen any for sale here in Australia, though white skirt tetras are common in pet stores. Editing because i looked it up, it seems our import rules classify them as a GMO so they're pretty heavily regulated. Interesting.

*Everytime Chris uploads a new episode of FTR* *Me:* Oh it's monday again

We took over the care of some glo fish. That came from another home. Likely 6 years old when they made it to us. Brothers kids kept trying to catch them and harass them. Brother told them if they keep doing that they will lose the fish. He eventually gave the fish to us. All but one died within a year of eachother. We figured the last one would die soon. Lived for 2 more years. He was a unit, feel bad he was alone those last two years.

Those tangs in that saltwater tank need minimum 100 gallon tank haha. Also the discus guy was folowing the .5 inch per gallon rule.

I have a 20 gallon tank fully planted with 9 glofish danios. And I absolutely love it. They were the first fish I got other than a betta right before and they’re my favorite fish to this day. But it has nothing to do with their colors, I’m pretty sure this is just danio behavior. They love to come up to the tank and watch me and are pretty curious. They had babies and 6 survived. As someone who loves science and wildlife it’s a cool crossover. But my issue with them is the misinformation about the tank sizes and what not but also, the betta fish usually look sickly like death is looming over them. I’ve yet to see one in store in person that isn’t dead or already dying it hurts my soul. My assumption is that no one buys them at my location. I’m just not into taking care of one fish in its own tank. So I stay away from bettas now. I’ve got 5 tanks, glofish being the main, whitecloud minnows, glow light tetras, and neon tetras. Also have 2 shrimp tanks. Sorry for ranting but I just can’t stand the hate on glofish. They’re fantastic fish no different than any other variation of them. They just have a different DNA sequence that gave them the color. And since mine somehow gave birth, I can attest that they carry the genes to any of the fry they have. It’s insane how personable they are. But like I said, I have a feeling danios are that way in general.

When I was a kid in the 90s all the kid's shows had goldfish in bowls. Never gave me the idea of torturing little critters in that way though. At least my tank was just critically overstocked (cuz guppies breed like flies). A 45 liter planted tank with a proper filter though. Also, to be fair, Cosmo and Wanda aren't fish but fairy godparents 😜

Thank you for never disapointing me on a Monday! Let this week begin!!

All the glofish I’ve seen have had genetic issues and are disease prone, much different from what you’ve said.

I took over a 75g tank that came with 3 black skirt tetras and 3 Glo tetras. The long-finned black skirt tetra in the batch is the only fish I've seen come back from ich. (It almost took out my entire tank before I got the right medicine to work with it.) That absolutely follows just how crazy hardy these guys are. The Glo tetras school together with the regular skirt tetras. After really enjoying the ones I had, I picked up a few more of the Glo tetras. The existing fish in the tank got super excited whenever I introduced the new ones. As someone who was formerly a guppies-only fish-keeper, these dudes have totally won me over. They're very active and a ton of fun to watch. Plus, (so far) they don't instantly over-populate my tank like my guppies did. With having the different colors of the Glo fish, I can also watch to see which ones hang out in cliques with which other ones. As others have said, it is sad to see fish stores market these guys to go into small tanks and to be one of a very few fish in the tank. Seeing how happy these guys are with a now 9 fish school in 75g is one of my favorite parts of my tank.

The questions I have with glofish is : if they are for unknown reasons freed, what happen to the predators or detritivors that will eat them? Is it like wild animals that eat transgenic crops? (cancer and else) They say in the cgu that they are sterilized but if you breed them you cannot sell them. So are they really sterile or is this a 90% success thing?

Regarding fish feed... I usually keep the feed in small cryovials... They are 2-5ml vials that can hold the feed for tetra or rasbora for about a week or 2.. You should be able to get some cheap off amazon...the main bottle of feed doesn't get damp as an added bonus

Chris: I’m best girl Millie: hold my bird food

Loaches....I will never forget the time my bucket split at the bottom while siphoning, YEETed the water into the toilet, only to find that a black loach had somehow miraculously not gotten sent to toilet oblivion, and after putting the fish back and cleaning up the water just kinda curled up in a ball for an hour. This was that same fish's fourth time almost killing me this summer.

I love glow fish. The skirt tetra is an amazing beginner fish in every aspect except colour. Now with genetic modification it can have that too. It gives an opportunity for an underrated fish to become beloved.

I have glow fish, they have quite the personality! My green one was very active and quite friendly for a fish, he did eat every single plant in my tank in the span of a week though. They all will eat out of my hand and are so fun

The GloFish brand bettas I've seen locally are some tripped out sick looking MF'ers. The fact that some of them weren't just culled at the breeding factory makes me wonder how versatile and hardy GloFish brand fish really are. I did read somewhere that GloFish are, in fact, copyrighted and people who breed them cannot sell the fry or something. Not sure how true it is because I just don't care for candy colored fish. As for the QOTW: pizza all day.

I just love this video and ur channel actually inspired me to have a fish tank review

We... had those glass fish in the US, once upon a time. I don't remember if my family bought some, or I just stared at them a lot in stores, but that picture definitely unlocked some perfectly clear memory of the two tone thing going on. Probably didn't know how to feel about it back then, because I surely don't know how to feel about the GloFish now. I only just saw the betta versions and went "why though..." They all just look pale and (more) depressed then the others.

I’ve had a Glofish school with a female betta and some shrimp. They look even better without that weird light and with live plants and natural tank. They look much more colorful. I had the danios so they were smaller in my 40 gallon. But it was sooo beautiful watching all of them school together. My female betta and I had a good relationship and I would pet her. I miss them! I got pregnant and had to give them away because having a newborn and tons of animals is hard.

O have a couple glow skirt tetras with my regular white skirts, and Serpaes. They really make the tank pop at night. Pretty cool. Too had it's mostly little kids buying them with an oblivious parent's money, and killing them within 2 weeks. That being said, I definitely want to buy one of each color, just to make sure they get a good life. My tetras are with mollies in an 120gallon (4x2x2). They living the high life yo.

My fish obsession started with glofish, and they are incredibly hearty!! I have mine in a 29g, and they are THRIVING! No complaints here!

I wish aquascaping was the most popular aquarium style. Not goldfish in a cereal bowl. Also you were talking about painted glass fish. The original fish is called The Indian Glass fish🙃

I didn’t get to watch yesterday and my betta tank was broken last night. Thanks for these videos Chirs, they make me feel better. And you’ll be happy to know my clown pleco has now been moved from a 10 gallon to a 20 (though much more soon than originally intended 👀) also pizza. Always pizza.

I haven’t thought about this in a couple years but my ex boyfriend had a bichir and some type of lungfish(?) in the world’s SADDEST tank. I spent months trying to get him to do _anything_ with it because he wouldn’t even clean it. This was also a house full of reptile guys (not the responsible kind), one of whom had over two dozen snakes and lizards, and none of them had a large enough enclosure or seemed properly cared for. It’s alarming how common this stuff is.

I had kuhli loaches once and they burrowed in the sand and saw them 2 years later when I redid the tank.

and-- there are two ladies at my local Petsmart who do talk to folks about cycling the tank and appropriate living conditions and what makes good tankmates...but people listen to them exactly as much as they listen to the people who cheerfully agree that a pretty little goldfish would look SO good with their new guppies and neon tetras. Yes, yes- so pretty! /sigh

My butterfly and rabbit fish get so happy when I walk into the room they follow me around also, and I talk to them, I love them so much

Heres my take on the "V" tank and nearly a decade in the reef hobby: A "V" could be a common little micro habitat in sw, be it in small canyons and crevices in a reef, between sections of Jetties or sea walls for example, though of course it looks like the people here just opted to chuck the live rock in a pile at the back. Structurally, Im not going to comment, since Im no architect or contractor, though I can tell how awkward this kind of dimension is. Saltwater needs a lot aide from extra equipment like powerheads, which I dont see(I cant see the picture again lest I start this whole essay of a comment over again). This can lead to several dead zones which the lack of current will attract detritus, phosphates, and ammonia build up. Also, some may not believe sand isnt as important for reefs as once thought, I noticed they aquarist opted out possibly due to added stress and pressure at the bottom angle. The awkwardness is also visible in the maintenance, as even with the magnet scrubber, you cant use it on the sides so diatoms have built up(also the detritus at the bottom from the previously mentioned dead zone). Correct me if I am wrong, but I can only see three fish, a yellow tang, a purple tang, and some non-descript brown tang. Tang need MASSIVE aquariums. Not only do most get fairly large but they are also quite active; travelling nearly 8 miles a day foraging on algae. The bristle tooth tangs are the smallest, and can arguably be kept in 75 gallons, though most need 180+ with some like Vlamingi tangs requiring 1000's. This is way too small for any of these tangs. Lastly I want to mention the coral, the only one I saw was a bleached toadstool, or some form of leather coral. Either way, bravo to the owner for bleaching a soft coral like that in 2022. Most soft corals commonly available are stupid easy to keep, and even seem to do better in slighty unkempt tanks, soo this tank is doing the near impossible. Also, why does the light look so flat? Its most likely not even a T8. No blues, no depth in color. Even after all filtration a light can make or break a reef, and this incandescent garbage is as low as you can get for saltwater. The off white is also probably encouraging the diatoms to grow too. LEDs are the way to go and have been for several years now. When I started in 2013 people were phasing out their T5s for LEDs but there was still some controversy as they were still quite new and pretty expensive. But today, there is no excuse if you want to grow corals, get good lights. In conclusion, the "V" tank is a nice idea, but not much else, especially the one pictured. You're better off just doing a canyon scape in your average cube shaped aquarium.

I’m not a purist by any means and I love hybrid fish like blood parrots but I think glow fish is where I draw the line for what I’ll actually own, I’m not at all bothered by hybrids or anything like that but it’s just something about glow fish that’s really off putting

Don't ever get glofish!🙃 They are super territorial if you get theme you are stuck with them..they will eat anything that is not lab bred good luck try to find any tank mates for them 😅is like the locusts from Jurassic Park 🤣

2:30 usually in stores, the biggest they have is only 10 gallons, but 20 gallon glo tanks do exist.

Chris : Repachi is best girl Millie: So you have chosen death

This is off subject but I kept coming up with pretty lg fish in my cichlid tank a clown loaches and then a fairy brichardi, then day before yesterday I woke up and my green severum had a tail of another fairy hanging out of his mouth. Had to pull it out with tweezers. Shocked me for such a gentle breed

I feel like glow fish are constantly trying to scream in the pain that is their sheer existence but cannot due to a lack of vocal cords

Hello, can you please advise me on something!!! I'm doing a research because I want to buy fish but I can't find this information anywhere. My apartment is very small, there is no place to put my aquarium other then under AC. It would be literally under AC but obviously air doesn't go downwards, so it wouldn't directly hit aquarium. However I'm worried because it is still under AC.Can it be a good environment for the fish?

I have GloFish in a 55 gallon community tank along with electric blue acaras. Beautiful and never have trouble out of them.

got 6 of those Globabies in my 55 gallon with some other fishy buddies. So far they seem cool. They like to praise one of my plants like its going to drop food for them though... its a cult following. Probably because some bloodworms got stuck in that plant at one point for the weekend treat that the tankmates all get lol.

I remember seeing dyed fish for sale when I was a kid. I'm only 27 but I was obsessed with fish from a very young age. It's really nice not seeing them for sale anymore. There were ones that were just color but you could also get designs on them. As for glofish I really want to set up a monster glofish tank in the future and go wild with the prompt. Like shooting for at least a 6 ft tank and huge schools of tetras and danios, maybe even trying for some angels and a shark if I can get a large enough tank. Is bring in a few other species like albino corries and maybe one of those super red bristlenose but otherwise all glofish. The idea of just making an alien world themed tank sounds so fun. It'd be under a normal light for the most part with the black light for special occasions or photos. Think black substrate with a few uv pebbles tossed in and large white rocks. Definitely heavily planted but with an extra focus on red plants with green being the minority. It's definitely a big project but man I want to do it and give it justice. I just love science and they look like little freaks in the cutest way.

I'm at the point (well, really about 10 years after, damn the years fly by but the days go so slow) in my time that only got to big box stores for carbon refills. frankly the boon in online options if crazy.

I was looking at pet store two weeks ago to buy a new water pump and saw them have those glo fish, they never have them before in my area. But sad thing is that all the glo fish is dying in their aquarium, maybe the water condition is not fit for them or something. Maybe it was for the better that we don't have them here, hope the store wouldn't order more of them just to die again

I actually like the idea of a glowing fish. As long as they're well taken care of and not bred so they develop issues. They're not allowed in europe tho because they're "GMO".

No way did you use a Billy Talent sample, such glorious childhood memories listening to those guys.

I have 2 khuli loaches with my female betta in a 10 gallon tank , They are getting along really well 😄.

In Australia glofish are not available. We have very strict laws about importing non-native and possibly invasive species. It sucks that i can't get glofish, but given the disaster that rabbits and cane toads became when they were introduced, i'm kind of glad that my country learnt a lesson and is actually now very careful about such things. Hamsters are similarly outlawed here, but we have guinea pigs =D

I used to100% agreed with the PetSmart employee meme except I met one that blew me away on how much he knew and how nice he was. Guy knew his stuff and had passion about tanks. He was the exception.

Pizza with barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce hits different. I prefer it over normal pizza. More people should try it.

Super excited because I got my new jet black Plakat Betta a few days ago. I love him so much, for all my Starcraft fans out there, I called him Zeratul, because it looks like he has those blades from the protoss.

You put a Billy Talent song in a FTR?! Fan for life now

*sneakily watching this at work because I just cant wait*

Chris! I just ordered one of your anti fishbowl fish tank club shirts and I’m so excited to receive it. I’ve only ever left one hate comment (I regret it) and have been a loyal fan since ❤️

I think that V shaped tank was a single piece of acrylic that was bent at a 90 degree angle. That's the only thing I could think of as to why it hasn't exploded.

As a Stardew Valley fish fanatic, this video made me feel right at home. Subscribed! Greetings from the Netherlands :)

I seen those fish in the aquarium here in England Birmingham and I was like I want them because of the colour until she told me they was injected with it 🤣 she said it wears of after a couple months, I'm glad they was honest with me

Their needs to be a “proud sponsor of FFT” shirt

I had some glow fish… all the tetras, skirt long fin and pristellia they all died in an ammonia spike or they had something because they died in the clean water and one puked up a slime thing and it was stuck to his face… idk it was a worst day for fish keeping. Had them almost a month and! Had just purchased the rest of my stock so I still only have half the fish I wanted. Idk but they are good fish.

I want to set up a 75 gallon for a school of glo fish one of these days... 😅

so i have a betta tank that is taller then wide i know they prefer shallow water and was thinking of getting a new betta after my last one past, i just wanted to ask before i went through with it if it is ok for a betta

Fell victim to the glofish craze but I will have to admit they are insanely hardy

the dye injected glass fish were popular at least 2 decades ago maybe going on more than 3 decades ago, before the copywriting of living beings came into vogue...they also suffered quite a lot from that...

I had a goldfish I got from a school carnival when I was in kindergarten that I had for 6 freakin years. I have no clue how he survived so long. The only thing we did with his water was add more when it got evaporated. He survived algae outbreaks, 2 fungus infections, and a leak in his tank which about caused him to run out of water. He did have a decently sized tank and good filters so nice on my parents part. The sad thing is, I had just started to learn about fish keeping right after he passed… I am hoping to get more fish soon though.

The only problem I've seen with glowfish is that they sell species that get really big and agressive, like sharks and Chinese algae eaters. They need to stick to tetras and danios.

Monday:... Monday with Repashy: LETS GOOOOOO!

I also love glow fish because I’m an avid space lover and I want to have a tank in my space room with the glow fish constantly fluorescing like their little stars or galaxies floating around the empty void that is the cosmos lol but I’m also a nerd and I would never buy them because I like my angel fish batter

I'm trying to get my tanks set up, and I'm very unconfident, but the videos help. Unfortunately, now I know about over stocking plants, and I think I need to try again...

Excellent video, keep it up!

Yayyy first again! Also Chris I’m glad you finally recognized yourself as “best girl”

As an avid fisherman I would never ever ever buy a lure that looked like a Glofish or had any silly colors... We have a sang, "Match the hatch" Meaning if I'm fishing for Smallmouth Bass and they are heavily feeding on Crayfish. Then I'm going to pick a lure that matches (or as close as possible) the Crayfish in the body of water that I'm fishing in both size and pattern. For example I wouldn't fish with a purple or blue (or something wild like that) crayfish bait, if the crayfish in the body of water I'm fishing are green I would want to match it.
