Get a Rainbow Shark, 5 Reasons Why!! (2024 Re-Uploaded Version)
Re-upload of an older video with a few small edits. Rainbow Sharks are a controversial fish as they are sold at chain stores, get to a decent size, and have varying levels of aggressiveness. I've kept a Rainbow Shark previously and have a list of positive traits to go over in this video. If you have a tank that will support a Rainbow Shark there is a list of reasons they might just be a favorite fish of yours.

BEST Budget Light?! | Aquaneat LED Unboxing & Review
Wow everything you typed in description is exactly what my blood parrot does! Did you ever figure out what it was?
Omg mine had babies yesterday this is so cool to see
hello! thank you so much for making this video. I just had my first fry this morning when i woke up! I am new to molly keeping.... like 1 week and what I thought was a balloon molly was apparently a pregnant one, lol! Could you possibly recommend another gel food? the link you have in the description is no longer valid unfortunately.
Hi, next review red parrot please. I have 2 red parrot. 1 of it is very aggressive. It chase 1 other its friend. i dont know why.
Why my newly bought hornwort from the pet store melts?😢 a week ago today
I bought a pair from the store, first couple of days it's been fine but now one of them keeps chasing and bullying the other one, I saw some damage on it tail, they have plenty of hiding spots and yet it stays wide open letting the other one attack it. What can I do about this? they are 3 inch
A subscribed because mainly I'm getting some of these yet again but my question is will they eat small pests snails can they actually get at them because of the Chinese snails being so small can they actually get the meat out thank you
You should NEVER have leveling wedges under the tank itself!!! They should ALWAYS go at the bottom of the stand frame if necessary
So my question is I currently have an upside down catfish (4 inches) with a singular common goldfish (2.5 inches) I want to add the shark (about 3inches) to my tank (36 gal) , but I’m not sure how itll work out. The shark is currently in a 3 gallon, which is awful for the fish. So part of me wants to get the fish out of there. But I’m not sure if it’ll do good with the other fish. Or with my upside down catfish will put each other in their place. What would you recommend? Also with their temperature ranges I evened it out for both of them at 75°. They seem to be doing fine with that.
The heart parrots are a tailless form like the meteor goldfish. Many species produce tailless forms but they are usually culled. The thai love breeding weird morphs though especially through artificial breeding. So we get weird stuff like that.
Beautiful
Thanks! Your vid was here when I needed it!! ❤
Manufacturer give contaminated food on occasion. We should test the food on wild chip fish. Before giving it to this adorable fish.
She a cuttie 🥰
I’m in the middle of building a 30 gallon planted cube community aquarium so thinking I’m going to go this gourami route. Can’t take the chance of getting more than 1 in case of aggression.
Hello ! I love my Parrots ! Question, I am now questioning if I have a black Convict or a Polar Blue ??? Can you please help me ?

Can't you just put in an algae eater to clean the leaves?
off topic species but dude i braught a pictus cat alone , didnt know it was a schooling type fish, braught 2 more for the mean while, the dude started fighting with one of them specifcially and beat its eye up , the first one i got always hides in a cave with a blue plhantom pleco and keeps chasing out the other pictus , took the one with the bad eye out and he started shouling around with the other pictus
Great video thanks for all your advice
Hey thanks so much for the video! The problem I’m having is that the filter I have for the tank hangs off the side of the edge, preventing the clean look as well as the fact that the clear tops are not able to go all the way to the edge properly. Can you please explain how you filter the water without having the filter hanging on the edge? Thank you 🙏🏽
I have a 6” blood parrot cichlid and a 7 inch pleco fish can I add any other fish it’s a 60 gallon tank
Love your videos, they’ve been so helpful! Any updates on your Polar Blue Parrots?
😮😮😮🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hii! Thanks for the video, I'm new to this and I have bought angelfish and goldfish together and they have been together for 4 weeks first 2 weeks the angelfish was very agressive but now they are adapting to each other, so should I continue keeping them together or should I give it away because I'm more of a goldfish person and I would be sad if my goldfish die. Thankk youu
Thanks for the review, I'm trying to find a C02 kit that I don't have to plug in. I don't have anymore plug in space unfortunately.
I like Fantail the best, simple, common, elegant….they just have the look I like. ☺️
My rainbow leaves everything alone in my tank except my tiger barbs he chases.
My parent parrots started eating the babies. I took the parents out. Babies are 3 weeks old. Will they survive?
I got a breeding pair , my question is can I keep the male While the babies are still small Can be in the same tank?
Water got in my bulb and shorted it out! Poor seal around the bulb from the factory. How are you supposed to change the bulb?
Hi i have another variety of some of them who has adopted the colour of guppies
Ive had my albino rainbow for about 4 yrs and it chase everthing.I like them but there a bit to aggresive for me
This fish is a devil. I had to give him away. Chasing all my fish including Tiger Barbs and Cichlids.
I'm planning to buy a gurami but after i read your comment I'll start to think twice 😩
What about snow white dwarf parrot cichlid?
They're a leucistic color variant of the parrot convict hybrids.
I recently bought 5 of these guys I would say they about 0.5 cm big really exited about trying to breed them
I have a pair in with African cichlids, they easily hold their own and even goof around with the cichlids 🙂
After 3 years are they still alright together?
Is polar blue parrot fish eaten their own babies???please help me
Mine kept breeding in my big tank where other fish live too but the babies wouldn’t really survive so I decided to move the breeding pair to their own tank so they can actually raise them successfully and also because they kept harassing all the other fish due to them protecting their babies lol 😆
My molly gave birth today and I managed to save around 30 mollies that are currently in a breeders box, I know I will have to get another tank soon but how do I go about transferring them, can I just add my current water and add water and then add them in?
Dwarf chain loaches are an even better option lol... they maxed out only to 2.5". Never seen one reaching 3". They have a ton of personality like most other loaches. They will also help decimate pest snail population in ur tank. I have a pair in two of my tanks. Nothing but empty snail shells laying around. 5" is still too big for me. My biggest tank is only a 29 gallon. My biggest fish is barely 3" and its a male kribensis cichlid.
Why would top fin add a 200 watts heater in a 55 gallon tank that's to small for this size tank
Great info. Thanx. I haven’t had a gourami since my first tank 45 years ago! I would love to add to add one to my new build.
im fairly certain u have a different strain of blue polar parrot cichlid to most people. Yours look far more flowerhorn'y than 99% of these fish iv seen. Infact, they are so different in shape, colour and personality to all the others on youtube, that i would say these aren't the same fish lol.
Hi, new sub, lovely video, can you tell me why my blood parrot has raised white pimples? I've been treating with anti fungal but am worried sick what's wrong with her, any advice greatly appreciated x
I just bought some yo-Yo loaches for the first time. I have them in a quarantine tank. How long should I quarantine them before putting them in my community tank? Also, are they prone to certain diseases that I should be looking for? I thought I read that they can have worms and need to be dewormed? I also heard they can be sensitive to certain medications so I'm a little leery of prophylactically medicating them.
I got a question is it rare to have a Molly with the yellow head, black body and gray tail?
I am not sure that all the monster types should be promote. These fish are definitively unable poor creatures.
Lol comment doesn’t even make sense
You forgot the feeder goldfish
