My family brought me a Betta while I was in the hospital.While watching Cory on You Tube I fell in love with Super Red Bristle Nose, and for me the list ends there!

Totally agree about the fancy goldfish in a 40 gallon breeder! I’ve had one set up for a few months now and finally got a fancy goldfish for it about a week ago. She’s such a charming and personable fish

You've got me thinking of my next two aquariums. I may have to downgrade the size of my bed 😂.

At 7:00 I met a fellow-aquarist in-real-life and he asked me what my favorite fish to keep is. I cringed as I admitted “My goldfish.” I LOVE my two-carnival fish…but they’re growing, and at a 90G, in their third tank in five years.

Really enjoy the Irene/Zenzo combo videos!

For a 5 gallon, you can use a scarlet badis as the center piece with a small school of chili rasboras! They are real tiny and the scalet badis really is a boisterous centerpiece

My first community tank had 3 dwarf gourami. Thought we had a good mix of male/female, until the matured. Ended up being all males, but because we had them together since juvenile their aggression towards eachother and other fish was very minimal

Appreciate the awesome suggestions! Thanks to Aquarium Co-op, my 50 gallon tank is thriving. This video inspires me to start another (smaller) tank!

Thanks for converting gallon and inches. I realty appreciate it.

Have two fancy goldfish in a 50 gallon indoor pond. Plant all my stem plant trimmings in their tank. Yes they munch them but they like it and I don’t mind. Some of them have survived and are thriving. They love duckweed which works out great. Have pothos growing around the outside so the roots take care of what plants should and they don’t bother the roots. Also have whiteclouds and ramshorn and pond snails in with them and so far so good. They are each about 4-5 inches rn. Spot and Marbles❤

I have a 90 gallon tank well it’s out away now because I inherited/bought the 135 gallon fish tank. It used to be Walmarts fishtank and stand when they used to sale live fish so the tank is old but super thick glass. I over winter my three common plecos in that but in the summer they’re outside in the pond living their best lives. They range from 19-23 inches. One I named Señor Bigotes he’s 21 inches long the other two were inherited with the tank. Right now with my plecos out in the pond I’m playing around with the tank getting it how I want so when the plecos come to over winter they can destroy my tank again. It’s a viscous cycle but that’s why makes this hobby fun. Right now I’m playing around with the filtration on it trying to optimize it the best I can.

Loved this video!

My amazon puffers love the Xtreme "big fella" pellets. They help keep their teeth trimmed as well. They also love freeze dried krill, frozen blood worms, and of course, tiny snails!

Love seeing 2 of my favorite smiles talking about subjects that I'm currently considering. Have a great weekend!!

[audrameyer]

Great suggestions! I have owned all of the fish mentioned, except for an Oscar. However My, my dad kept them when I was a child. They were giant sweeties...
unless they were eating or being instigated with food before it was dropped in the tank for "showing off" for guests 😁

To anyone who feels like they need a big tank 40-100gal to have a good community tank you can do so much with a 30-20gal aquarium. I have a 30gal aquarium one with 12 salt and pepper corys, 4 albino bristlenose plecos and 2 starlight plecos (which will be moved to their own breeding tank) +20-30 bluedream shrimp and a 20L with 7 pangio khulis, 10 white cloud minnows +40-60 assorted neocaridina shrimp
