Soda I have to tell you, you saved my pleco's life and my soul from damnation. I was keeping her in a 30l tank. I'm sorry. But now thanks to your videos I placed her in a 112l tank.
There’s nothing irredeemable about making a mistake. It’s what makes us human. What makes someone a bad person is when they refuse to learn from their mistakes and refuse to do better. You found out what was wrong and fixed it, and that’s all that matters hen. You did what was best for ur pleco and your pet is now much happier because of it
These tanks would look cool with like colorful fake fish. My family friend had this real tall glass tube aquarium thing in their living room years and years ago that had realistic looking plastic fish in it. The fish moved up and down like real ones thanks to this tiny motor that made the water move. It was cool. (they did have real fish too, just in a real aquarium and they took good care of them)
So glad that the worms in that pool have been taken care of, that would have been so gross to swim in! Now those people can finally enjoy their nice pool and all of the hundreds of rotting fish carcasses floating around in there.
The fact that some pet stores even LET people walk out of the store knowing they are going to put a fish in a bowl is wild to me. I work at Petsmart and anytime a person is walking around with a bowl and looking for fish, we radio for someone to go over and talk to them. There have been many times I have refused the sale of fish to someone who wasn't planning to care for them correctly. The Mind Boggles ..
The ipond thing, that would be cool if it was like. You know those lights with the jellyfish lights and stuff, like that but it's a fish instead of a jellyfish and can be a speaker. That would look cool
@@feuerling maybe, I'd say it depends how much water since water speakers do exist it's just ones that I've seen at least have only a little bit of water in
I'm still hoping to see a "this is your sign to do a water test/change on your fish tank" TikTok go viral, that actually explains how to do it properly
Suggestion: Reddit has now removed the "sort by controversial" tool from the toolbar, but you can still access it by typing /controversial/ after the subreddit name. Easy trick to review bad owners in "good" subreddits
Hey Soda! I have been wanting to tell you that you were the one who introduced me into the fishkeeping hobby, Ive been watching your vids for a year and thanks to you now I have a (cycled, ofc) rimless 5gal planted fish tank with only a male betta! I must thank you for showing so many people, including me, how fish must be cared for properly, and encouraging everyone to research and keep learning! And thank you for making me discover the hobby, every day I see my betta growing and his colors getting brighter (I suspect hes not fully grown yet), and that surely brings me happiness every day
I feel really bad for my last fish because I got it at a party and it was in a bowl. I didn’t really how to take of it and we had nowhere to put a giant fish tank, so it died about a week later. Rest In Peace, Gerald. I’m really sorry
2:45 I really hoped that this was just a fancy crayola box someone turned into a "fish tank"... One google search later: It's real, from 1990 and a collectible item. No longer being made apparently.
@@simplygrace8393 She didn't mention that crayola doesn't sell them anymore. Hopefully that means people don't use them as fishtanks, I don't even want to know what would seep into the water from the aged material.
That "This is a sign" video, those videos make me SO ANGRY!! I'd say "unreasonably angry", but I don't think there's anything unreasonable about being angry about animal abuse... But come on, people, it's not that hard to research the care of an animal before buying it, I'd say it's actually easier to find out what it takes to properly care for an animal, than it is to buy it! Google is literally right in your hand when making those videos!!!
When I was little, my parents had a really nice, really well tended fish tank. We had a variety of freshwater fish that lived around eleven years. Because of that, I wasn’t even aware that people treated fish so poorly. As it turns out, my parents cared about our fish way more than most fish ‘owners’.
are you going to make a video about the so-called "toadline bulldogs" going around social media recently? cause they're like the worst bred dogs i have ever seen. like, literally bred to be super-super brachycephalic and with extremely curved spines and hip and elbow dysplasia that splays their limbs outward like a frog. they can't mate naturally, need c section to give birth, have breathing problems so severe their gums are tinged blue from constant lack of oxygen and sort of just drag themselves around to move. apparently they cost upwards of $10k per pup and have an average lifespan of around four years. it's awful on every front and i think someone needs to address it
Pretty much any fish TikTok that starts with “this is your sign” makes my blood boil. They are absolutely reckless and uneducated in fish care but they’re acting like they’re sharing some special knowledge with people. “This is your sign” smh what are you, Fish God?
Would love to create an aquascaped themed tank, something fantasy/sci-fi/steampunk sort of think. But it would worry me what sort of materials could be safely used. With regard to the silly shoes, would be fun to have a pair with a resin fish tank like that, but obviously not a real fish entrapped in a solid block of resin
I bought fish with my friends in the correct way. Shopped for aquaria and gravel together, set them up, researched the fish, came back for the fish a week later, brought them back and had a cup of tea together whilst they acclimatised, and would look after eachother's fish if one of us went away.
getting matching fish with your friend sounds so fun tbh, like doing all the research and sending each other tips and new info that you learn, keeping each other on task with water changes and stuff... sounds like fun if you're actually doing it right
I used to have a fish named spike and all we gave him was a bowl filled with tap water. Thanks to this channel I now know how to properly take care of fish and etc. I'm sorry spike🥲
Hey Soda! I want to bring your attention to these videos I found on yt of mice scared out of their mind's being backed up into a corner while a bullfrog eats them alive in a small box. Some say it's "natural" so it isn't abuse but I think otherwise since there is no way for them to hide or escape. (Sorry if it's unrelated to the video)
Sometimes I see those tiny gimmicky fish tanks, and I'm like "I wanna use it for a marimo." or maybe do a resin thing in it. Some of them are fucking cute
The shoe aquarium looks so dangerous not just to the fish but to the person wearing it, you look like you could either slip or fall wearing them, high heels are already uncomfortable enough
The girls that got fish together have their bio saying “uneducated” fish girls They put the quotations… They also said the employee told them they could use a bowl. The amount of ignorant people on this planet cease to amaze me.
There is a video about a woman getting a bets for her 4 yr old. It started out great. 20gal tank, things for him to swim throw and hide in. A filter. The tank looked great but then they added 3 snails, 3 albino catfish and a frog. Ugh.
Lol when you mentioned what one of the fish was... an "arowana"... I freaked out because I realized OH that's why they named a stage in Splatoon "Arowana Mall"! It still keeps with the whole sealife/fish theme! Jeez I feel kinda dumb but lol
This might seem a bit random but I always think about this when I watch these videos. When birds are free to fly around like that, do they poop everywhere?
Yeah lol. Birds can't really control when they poop, so they can't be potty trained. But soda mentioned before she doesn't mind, because it's not that gross (for a poop)
Soda, I just thought you might like to know, I can't watch any of your videos where your cockatiels are being loud, as my new puppy will literally start barking up at whatever device is playing the video. I had to quickly mute the long section of Yuki singing on this one for that reason xD
There's a TikToker whose entire channel is basically just chasing their hamster around. It's really concerning. In one video they even seem to follow it with a vaccuum. I'm so worried for it and hope that it's okay. It's so sad that they're tormenting it for views.
One thing that no one has ever pointed out is the channel fish for thought. He does AMAZING with his fish but then when it comes to his bird........... oh God. I'd love to see you review him and see what you think
OMG so I just got a second Cockatiel and he’s a normal grey and my original cockatiel that i’ve had for 13 years is pied and it turns out normals greys crests are just wayyyyyy longer and my bird looks just like yours with the long curly crest!!
Hey Soda! this is extremely off topic of the video lol but I just want to say thank you for the videos you make if I never came across your channel I wouldn't of realised how much I find animals interesting and how much I love them and I'm actually going to start a private mentorship for zoology soon! I'm working hard to be able to work with animals you're like one of my biggest inspirations. Idk if you're going to see this but uh yeah lol I'm not good at writing stuff (If theres spelling mistakes ignore them I'm tired 😭)
Heya Soda, I just need to inform you on this dog-based channel called ShiroSuki. Apparently it seems they make a lot of deliberate mistakes and have bred the same dogs 4-5 times, and I found out about this online but not in their comments because they delete comments. Correct me if I’m wrong but they’re overbreeding their dogs.
I remember I had an argument with my dad about those high heel and shoe aquariums and he supports it even though it's so dumb and isnt a great environment for a fish
Ok. I need you to do a video on this place called fish haven! I’m so upset because I can’t do anything about this place! They have painted fish and they have about 20 baby turtles in the same tiny tank! You should see the google reviews!
soda my two shihtzus adore your videos because of your birbs please release an asmr track of yuki singing. idk why but they just get so happy when they are singing.
I find it dumb how arrowana's can be sold at pet stores. Like, chain pet stores such as Petland (I think it's only in Canada), Petsmart, Petco, etc... And they're sold as babies, so people want to buy them, it looks cool, looks prehistoric, and people love to impulse buy. At a specialty store I go to for fish, they have this GIANT arrowana in such a big tank. It's I think 2000 gallons, and the arrowana is the size of a toddler.
idk if this is the place to ask about this, but we have an elderly goldfish with severe dropsy that my mom wants to euthanize and I was wondering if you had any good methods for treating it instead.
My bird hates hands too lol I turn on a video she likes on my phone and she'll get on my hand, but the minute it stops or buffers, she start to bite me and (attempt) to make Minecraft noises XD
I am soooooo excited! I finally found more Reticulated Tiger Hillstream loaches. A male and female. I have three in my tank now, but I am so happy to have found a male to go with my females. I want to get two more. Definitely another male and another female. They are such amazing and cute fish. I'm just excited I was finally able to find some. :D
8:05 I like weird stuff like that as decorations but never for live animals. Storage and decorations only. I know I have a weird sense of style but I like what I like. Same with everyone else.
At 8:30 I have the exact same tank. It's 12L if I'm remembering correctly. I've used it for many things - brine shrimp, snails, emergency hospital tank, temporarily keeping new goldfish fry until I could get them into a larger one. I'd never put anything larger than a snail into it longterm. And yeah, it comes with that filter. It's so bad though that I just chucked mine.
My father keeps the fish in the plastic and puts them hanging inside the aquarium (top) so they can get used to the temperatures and maybe a few minutes he will let them out
Soda I have to tell you, you saved my pleco's life and my soul from damnation. I was keeping her in a 30l tank. I'm sorry. But now thanks to your videos I placed her in a 112l tank.
REDEMPTION ARC. You’re not a terrible person, you learned, and now your pleco is happier for it

I think I've seen those before, they're pretty cool
The best thing that happened to that fish tanke
So glad that the worms in that pool have been taken care of, that would have been so gross to swim in! Now those people can finally enjoy their nice pool and all of the hundreds of rotting fish carcasses floating around in there.
The fact that some pet stores even LET people walk out of the store knowing they are going to put a fish in a bowl is wild to me.

There have been many times I have refused the sale of fish to someone who wasn't planning to care for them correctly. The Mind Boggles ..
These gimmicky betta aquariums always shock me, I pray no fish has to live in them. However!! They make amazing sea monkey tanks
The ipond thing, that would be cool if it was like. You know those lights with the jellyfish lights and stuff, like that but it's a fish instead of a jellyfish and can be a speaker. That would look cool
It would but it’s animal abuse
@@Sadiebaker820 They are talking about using plastic light up fish not real ones
Jelly fish rave just the only song that plays in that tank along with SpongeBob house XD
Even with plastic fish, I don't think the water would be good for the sound quality.
@@feuerling maybe, I'd say it depends how much water since water speakers do exist it's just ones that I've seen at least have only a little bit of water in

I just love how your birds and how they just chirp at random times. :D
A LEGO branded giant brick shaped fish tank would probably be decent, tbh.
That iPond with a fake fish or something would actually be so cool. 10/10 would have in my uni room
The shoe aquarium looks so dangerous not just to the fish but to the person wearing it, you look like you could either slip or fall wearing them, high heels are already uncomfortable enough

need a tshirt with this
"its tiktok i shouldnt think at all"
Not only are those tank shoes ugly, they can be easily broken with body weight

You should do a series when you have subscribers send in their tanks and you review them
The Ipond would be pretty cool to have a robo fish in
I hear that bird sound every time I walk by a house
1:37 bars
R/Shityaquariums the worst R/ you can think of
I dont know if you’ve done it already but I would LOVE to see and otter drawing or merch!❤️❤️
get the ipond and just plant some pretty underwater plants in there
idk if this is the place to ask about this, but we have an elderly goldfish with severe dropsy that my mom wants to euthanize and I was wondering if you had any good methods for treating it instead.
For other ideas for merch designs, how about a beagle?
9:59 I hesitated and thought “… that’s not his name”. Gourami is the fish. I gonna go outside now.
My bird hates hands too lol
I turn on a video she likes on my phone and she'll get on my hand, but the minute it stops or buffers, she start to bite me and (attempt) to make Minecraft noises XD
Love this series! I'll be purchasing some merch from you very soon :)
You should make some turtle merch!! :)
that iPond would look really cool with a fake fish in it
Honestly I just like looking at your figure shelf and seeing that I have alot of the same miku figures as you do
Birdy started best boxing gawddamn
0:44 you could put some sort of decor in it though which would make a very cool speaker.
Funny thing I recommend ur vids to anyone that wants a bird.
I hope one day there will be a this is a sign to get a fish with your bff where it shows the whole process to teach people
Regarding the Ipond, I wonder how fish react to music.
like do they have favorite music and least favorite music like us?
5:11 EXACTLY

* Wrapping bird* so it is slowly looking back* continues to rap*( other bird be like👄👁👄👁👄👁👄)

And yeah, it comes with that filter. It's so bad though that I just chucked mine.
Thats aquariuns are truly nightmares

I have 2 baby axolotls housed together in a 20l tank
Their the same size so they dont eat eachother
Crazy Crayola, Fish Tank.
I love all of your merch, just can't afford it right now.
I mean
I think your robo fish would thrive and rock out in a iPond
hey soda! i’d love to see some betta merch, i love bettas :) great video!
I love and hate that coffee table. Not sure how to feel about it. 😂
Hey, I need some help with my fish tank, the waters always really yellow even after I clean it
It’s a ten gallon btw
in the minion fish tank there were 2 fish 💀
These videos and tiktoks of people neglecting their fish inspires me to take better care of mine.
