I like recommendations like these but I'd love some advice about complete "combinations" of fish... like "in a 20 gallon long tank you can keep these species together and the amount of each species" just as a help as not all fish go together /need the same things. And sure, it's all a matter of taste, but with a "XX gallon recipe" you could also mention what you could replace certain fish with... and it could be different difficulty levels too. I'm sure both beginners and pros might appreciate that.

First video to watch with my Sunday morning coffee....hope you guys are having a blast at aquashella ....have a great day !

I love Glowlight tetras. I highly recommend them. They are hardy and have some real personality once they have been in your tank for awhile. So amazing to watch them mate. Way easier than neons.

I dont how this video could have 12 👎. What is there not to like? If you disagree with anything in this video why dont leave a comment and discuss it instead of leaving something negative. Its a video about fish what is there not to like about it? You guys make great videos. Thanks for making videos and making the hobby better

the Kuhli loach is the greatest ever! I am amazed how underrated they are & never on fish channels.

Great content. I'm keeping or have kept all these guys. Nice list, and I appreciate the fact that when fish have similar parameter requirements, you still restate them. Sometimes repetition makes a point, and if someone is skipping to see if a fish they're interested in, they wouldn't have those pertinent facts, if not repeated. I guess I beat that to death...thanks John and Lisa. Hope things are going well at AS.

Love your 20 gal. Ideas! I have some of these in my tank. Rummies are a favorite. Thank you for doing these kind of videos!♥️🐠🙂

Just strolled upon the channel. Thanks for these types of videos. Just got my first 40 gallons, growing up my dad was a breeder for sea horses and I learned alongside him. Excited to see the 40 gallons video. Its cycling now but I am excited to get some fish in it! 10/10!

It's funny you brought up the hardiness of the black skirt tetra. I lived in Virginia in 1994 and an ice storm caused power to go down for over two weeks. The Black Skirt tetras survived until the second to last day of the ice storm. At this point several of them were getting close to 6 years old as well. As far as fin nipping I have observed them doing it sadly. Tore up a blue Angelfish I had in with them.

Overall I love this list. So many great tetras to pick. The only one I thought shouldn't have been left out is the Lemon Tetra. Also super hardy and yellow body with a red eye just like the red eye tetras... they just have a yellow tinted body.

Watching this channel not only introduced me to the rummy nose tetra but has me absolutely addicted to them. Thanks guys! I absolutely love them.

Thank you for bringing these shorter videos back. Find I've learned a lot from them.

"Nothing is ever easy for me, expect maybe guppies" felt that in my soul lol.

My 20 gallon long asian biotope tank:
10 chili rasbora
1 dwarf flame honey gourami
3 dawrf neon gobies.

Great video, just redid my 29 gallon and one of the fish are serpae tetras (10 of them). Also added 10 dwarf neon rainbows and lots of plants. A combo that makes a pleasant and active tank. Again thanks for the video and the other videos you provide.

Personally my favorite is axolotls they technically aren’t fish but they should be treated as them they get up to be about 9 inches long but you can put one in a 20 gallon aquarium. Sadly you can’t put them with other fish as they will eat them but it’s okay since they are just so adorable and have so much personality. I’m thinking about getting 2 and putting them in a 30 gallon tank. I’d highly recommend looking them up if you don’t know what they are it’s almost a guarantee that they will become you obsession.

[davidwayneprins]

Totally agree on the white skirt tetras. Have four in my 30. Very stunning against black sand.

Have also had the serpae tetras aka red minor tetras

[matthewzito]

Black Neon Tetras are a great fish for a 20-gallon.

[angelalemos]

I knew that the next video out would be one of these. I love how these videos introduce me to new fish that I haven’t heard of yet. There sure are a lot of tetras on this list though, seems like John forgot to mention the glofish ones...just kidding. XD I know you don’t like the glofish line.

[inironsatsea]

Not on-topic but, I have seen a lot of complaints about hang on back filters draining during a power failure and burning the motor out when it comes back on.
I think I have a solution...a 3/4" check valve added to the intake should prevent the draining.
I have one ordered and will try it out. If anyone is interested in trying this, it is part #200-C07.

[ZacharyGames]

White skirt tetras are definitely an interesting fish. I had a group of 6 that would actually fight off a baby blood parrot.
