It is so nice to see you enthusiastic about your plans for your fish focus! You mentioned Heterandria formosa in a video a few months ago and I became fascinated by the idea of them, I finally managed to get two pairs last weekend! I love them, so tiny and cute. I have set up a nice planted tank for them and am crossing my fingers I will be able to get four or six more to start a little colony. Not easy to find in the UK! It has also opened up to me a whole new world of rarer livebearers that I never even knew existed! Thank you for all that you do for your viewers :)
Thank you for taking back your fishroom, from UA-cam and your store) and making your fishroom YOUR OWN again! It's been showing for awhile that breeding fish and doing projects for others isn't working for you, Cory. I started watching your Channel when I found your old fishroom updates on Wednesdays...and of course Taco Tuesdays. lol. lately you haven't been interested enough to do those long fishroom updates, which you so excited even to just purposefully breed convicts and you had five different live barers, some where the rare kind from Greg Sage in Denver and you never made more than two videos on them, same with the Liberty/ Mexican mollies you got from him... That's what I want to see... The in depth Cory McElroy hobbyist fishroom updates and projects. Then the Store tours and unpacking videos for the Aquarium Coop store owner Cory, because the unpacking videos of multiple fish and plant species most hobbyists and fish keepers never really see that part. lol. But YES. Take back your hobby and I will be more than happy to watch your long videos. 👍
+Jamie MacDonald mollies were the first fish I ever bred. It was an accident and totally changed my life not just hobby. Here I am owning a fish store because black mollies bred.
I love the Corydoras Barbatus, and the Dumbo Ear Guppys! I wish my LFS had them! Since the shoutout that you gave me, I have +40 subscribers! Thums up Cory!
hi Cory yes the dripping tap works I'm from Canada and this is used most often in old houses that don't have any wall insulation to keep the pipes from freezing in the winter time. depending on the temperature you may have to run it considerably faster for it to work
Another great video thanks Cory. Very interesting. And good to hear that your new years resolution is to slow it down a bit and focus on what makes you happy. Keep up the good work. Best wishes from the UK.
The dripping water slows down the process but doesn't stop it. Eventually the water will freeze unless there is enough flow of above freezing point water and that dripping isn't enough.
I totally support what you are doing! If anybody can make guppies and under-gravel filters cool again, you can. It was awesome to hear the enthusiasm in your voice and I can't wait for what's next!
I know this is rather late in the day, but I just found this post. The angel fish in Corey's tank look very much to be Pterophyllum leopoldi. The spot at the base of the dorsal fin is diagnostic. P. leopoldi also have a pronounced nuchal notch but this is not the case with these specimens. Really good to see this often overlooked species in an aquarium, and in a setup suitable for its needs.
a slow drip does work. In Vegas where i am the pipes and drip systems are only 2/3 inches below the ground. So dripping the faucets when below 32 is a must. where u r is different but when it gets real cool it works.
Moving water doesn’t freeze. That’s the idea behind the drip. However below zero temps need more of a stream then drip. The water bill is worth not having to replace the plumbing.
Just hatched a few hundred albino corydoras this morning...! Woohoo...!!! Keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...!!! PS... feel free to send me anything that you "don't like or enjoy"... hahaha...
Another great video!! I think i pause each video at least 5 times to go fix things or rearrange things in a tank thanks to your videos. Im glad to hear your getting back to what you love doing. I think a lot of us get sidetracked and away from the things that got us into the hobby in the first place. Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life :) Happy Holidays
The dripping water thing normally works, but it depends on your area, basically if water isn't moving through your pipes it will just continuously get colder where it sits until it freezes. water flowing through it will add new heat to the pipes it runs through, with the water itself being warmer than what was there. so as long as the ground doesn't too cold and you flow enough water to defeat the constant leaching of heat from your water, then you should be fine. the colder the water coming in is the more water you have to move to keep the pipes from freezing, otherwise ice will slowly build up on the inside. it doesn't really take much though, just keep an eye on that water flow, make sure it doesn't stop or slow down. Make sure there is no stagnant water in any place, water moving through every pipe that has water in it. On a side note, I wonder if you could strategically place flow or pressure gauges somewhere in the piping system to help watch for this becoming a problem.
my grandma does that every time it gets really cold so yes it works. Also if you don't and if your lucky the pipes won't burst but you'll hear noises coming from the pipes when you turn them on the next morning.
agitation of the surface will keep water from freezing to certain extents. The colder it gets, the more you have to agitate to avoid a freeze. it just adds mechanical energy to the system to replace the heat energy lost.
I'm guessing demand for Barbatus cories just went up around the globe. I love those Angels... I still like the wild look the best. I remember when it was 12-15 degrees when I lived there - everyone said it was unusually cold. Minus temperature!!! Yowza!!! Yes, the dripping water can prevent freezing or vastly slow it down - do you have pipes directly exposed to outside weather? Hose bibs or pipe insulation on outside pipes can prevent freezing too. Inside pipes are ok as long as you don't let your house get below 30 degrees.... not bloody likely with fish in the house. Wow!-Thats a dream job!! If only I was closer to retirement - I want to move back to Seattle then anyway. Did you see the articles (yes-plural!) on Rice Fish in Amazonas a few issues ago?
My two corys literally just laid eggs as I watched them, I had NOO clue of this happening I thought I had two males and not prepared for it and they are everywhere.. They are the only two fish in this particular tank and I had a snail in it but took it out because it was wanting to eat them.. I guess I’m just going to let them be and see what happens and hopefully I can get some frey..!!! 👍👍👍
My Red Wiggler worms arrived crushed. I salvaged what I could. I buy my fish from my local pet store, never Walmart. I've bred Cory, Platy and Molly. I love Tetras and Danios. I am looking into a native tank, fish from the Adirondacks in Upstate New York.
I know I'm a little late on this but the water deal does work but it should be a last resort. Here in Wyoming it's -20 and we run rental properties, the biggest question mark I say on the drip method is be mindful of your septic system. The slow drip can freeze your sewer lines if they run horizontal above ground at all be careful it will freeze. If the sewer lines go underground you'll be fine. There is a lot more to it but that is a quick basic for normally warm areas.
love the videos Cory. I know we'll get far more out of you channel if your doing stuff you love. I look forward to spending more time with you in Your fish room.
Hey Cory, teeming the water works. Not a wives tale. Lived in Maine with several feet of snow every winter, it works. Another helpful hint is to teem it outside away from the house. Maybe wrap your outside tubs with your styrofoam you get from deliveries. (Maybe cut into brick size for your odd shapes). We do that to protect our potted plants (roots). I know this is last winter...but ides that may be helpful.
man I'm still amazed you can keep those koi outdoors all winter with the pond being above ground. Makes me wonder if I can pull that off here in NY. -14 is insane cold for anywhere! Keeping the water dripping pretty much works the same way as the bubbles in the koi pond. The moving water wont freeze as easy but of course could freeze eventually. Something about the molecules moving doesn't allow crystallization. I'm sure people would still watch the daily dose......even if it was a 30 second timelapse of your 8 hour day at the computer!
+Rich's Fishes thanks for the explanation. Yeah if it actually goes negative 14 I'm worried about the pond. But I have ideas... I'll have to film em :)
Hi Cory, another great update - keep 'em coming. I feel I need to point out that Corydoras Barbatus have been reclassified into the genus Scleromystax, so now they are Scleromystax Barbatus. Although having said that, everyone I know still refers to them as Corydoras, I guess old habits die hard eh! If they were spawning in one of my tanks I'd be trying to save all the eggs I could, they are a relatively uncommon species in the UK. Keep up the good work :-)
+Delboy Heath yeah, much harder to say and no one really cares so I use the common name. The scientific name is already in the video tags in case someone was looking for it with the scientific name.
Yeah if the water moves quick enough it will not freeze. It doesn't have to flood or Rush, only move. It's the movement that keeps it from settling in a frozen state. Obviously the colder it is the quicker it must move. Folks have done it for years to keep pipes from freezing. Experiment with it. Good luck.
As far as the freezing water Google - latent heat of fusion - they use it here in Napa to keep from loosing the bloom on the grape vines. let me know if you want to sell the any wild Betta.
excited to see livebearers! Also the drip will avoid freezing for sure; we did it when i lived up north and had -40 for weeks sometimes, though it also increases the chances of a frozen and plugged drain but at your temperatures I am sure that isn't a risk.
Your question about the water dripping to help prevent from freezing; I have heard that it will make it worse if you do that but I've only heard that so I do not know for sure. And if you get the corydora barbatus to breed successfuly with a high fry survival rate you should sell them on you website because I think me and many others would be interested in buying them.
Cory good luck with getting your fish room back to where you can enjoy it! I love the rainbow tiger endlers i can't wait to see what you do with them. Hopefully everything works out for you! 😃
Wow, great series, I just watched all 37 of your fish room updates. They were great. Congrats, it was great to watch the room for the beginning. What's next??
You could do what Than from Tidal Gardens does and make videos on every species so you could reference online customers to your videos to cut down on the question.
+Zac Soriano I could do that, but I enjoy the personal interaction with people 1 on 1. And lots of people have specific problems based on their water etc. But more videos always helps :)
I'm late to the game (only by a little) but should you stay away from areas on a lake near an inlet or an outlet? If course. The moving water makes for thin ice.
I wish people would understand that if you actually want to see the personalities and colour of the wild types of betta you need to have heavily tannin rich waters, theyll never colour up or leave their hides without it ( they also don't particularly like other fish in the tank )
Wild caught angel fish @ 2:59 have amazing metallics as you mention! Is that a typical trait with wild caught angels which tends to become less of a feature in later generations once captive? I've just never seen metallics like that in real life on an angelfish before but don't think I've seen wild caught ones (or even close-too) either
I wish I could send you my guppies. I bred some green iridescent ones and some endlers but they are getting moved out. it'd be cool to see what you could dod with them.
Hey cool video, I actually have been really into breeding Cory’s For a couple years now and have been able to develop what I believe to be my own strain… For me it’s very cool to try to come up with new ones. I’ve got it down packed to being able to get them to breed in two days from whenever I decide to… I’d be interested to know what your methods are in comparison to mine. I’m in Massachusetts, not sure where you are but always like comparing notes with other breeders... my daughter named them purple sunset Cory’s .. they are a purplish brown with orange gills and back
Love love the teacup platies! Been obsessed with them since I saw this video earlier today. Doin all the research on them! Unfortunately there's not a lot of info I can find on them. A new bucket list fish!
Aquarium Co-Op any tips for keeping them? My water is super hard, like in the 7.8-8.4 range. Water changes help keep it down but it's always going to be high. Also any tips where to find them?
Cool Vid. Always nice to do stuff your into versus doing what others want you to do. If live bearers is what you like then that's what you should be messing with the most. They are interesting fish. I only own the wild variety of Green Sailfin Mollies and they are pretty neat. Breed like rabbits. Can't wait to see you breed the new endlers love them little guys.
I haven't found any mollies that truly catch my eye. Have seen a few guppies though online. To buy or not to buy lol. Don't care to order fish in winter. Only thing stopping me right now.
can you pleaseeee update on those goldfish in the big tank ? Pretty pleaseee !!! (*secretly hoping you will have a go pro by Christmas for under water footage*)
Hi ! Nice vidéos ;) I d like to know If there is any "risks" of crossing/hybrids having Pygmaeus Cory and Black together in the same thank.... By the way, with any other "big" cory for the Pygmaeus... All the best ! Nicolas
can u help me with a angle fish how to take care of them plz tell i watch u to help with my guppys,betta,goldfish,catfish,srimp plz help tell about anglefish am geting one
Ha I got you beat I live in Ontario Canada and we had -20F and next week -30F oh boy it was cold and more to come. it just shows that you care about the fish, the customers Cory that is why you don't ship fish this time a year People will understand. you have and Awesome customers services that's why.
Hello, I am new to Chiclids and i have a empty 47 gallon tank. How many fish can get in this aquarium? In what tempeture do they live? Can someone tell me everything about Chiclids?
After seeing your videos on how much time and work goes into shipping fish, I don't blame you one bit for reassessing.
+JT Brock I just don't want to disappoint customers and I'm afraid if I get too short on time I will. Thanks for the support.
Don't stretch yourself too thin , just do what you enjoy and show us, we will watch it.
+marcusallenp thanks :)
marcusallenp qq
Yes. Its real. We do that in MN. A slow trickle will keep the pipes from freezing.
+Laura good to know :)
Yes. In the last place I rented, it was mandatory to keep the trickle (actually, a stream the diameter of a pencil) going all winter.
Yes, the dripping tap to stop feezing works. I do it in our horse field, with the trough tap. My father and bro are plummers.
It is so nice to see you enthusiastic about your plans for your fish focus! You mentioned Heterandria formosa in a video a few months ago and I became fascinated by the idea of them, I finally managed to get two pairs last weekend! I love them, so tiny and cute.

So I'm watching this 4 years later and poor Corey seems just the same now stressed out about what he can't get done. Enjoy your fish Corey please!
Those are such neat Corydoras! Love them!

Those are the coolest Corydoras I've ever seen! O_O
I'm the coolest Corydora you've ever seen!
I see what you did there.
I loved the news that you are going to focus on what you enjoy, especially because it's live bears, my favorite.
Nice ! I didn't know how much fun it is to have fry. My Molly having fry change my entire hobby. I am now looking at things totally different
+Jamie MacDonald mollies were the first fish I ever bred. It was an accident and totally changed my life not just hobby. Here I am owning a fish store because black mollies bred.
I like the "old school" fish room update. Great job! Looks like you're having a good time again.
I love the Corydoras Barbatus, and the Dumbo Ear Guppys!
I wish my LFS had them!
Since the shoutout that you gave me, I have +40 subscribers!
Thums up Cory!
+Danny's Aquariums awesome, glad to hear it Danny.
I want to! But I can't find C. Barbatus!
Came a long way since 40+
I'd love to see you breed the mystery snails, snails are so much fun to watch
hi Cory yes the dripping tap works I'm from Canada and this is used most often in old houses that don't have any wall insulation to keep the pipes from freezing in the winter time. depending on the temperature you may have to run it considerably faster for it to work

Keep up the good work. Best wishes from the UK.
+neilhy thanks for the support Neil.
SO glad to find this gem cory... Love this channel!!! Not fan of RFT anymore... And thank you for it all!!
Ok, sweet Cory's cory and congrats on the rice fish eggs
The dripping water slows down the process but doesn't stop it. Eventually the water will freeze unless there is enough flow of above freezing point water and that dripping isn't enough.
jashelps especially if the air temp is lower than freezing
8 hour livestream on Christmas?? Nice! I'll try to stop by for a bit.
Yep, Should be some good fun.
Cory, take care and totally agree with following your passion! Stay positive and always enjoy you vids! Family first...
+RescueDogTreats thanks for the co times support :)
i know the feeling. i've got so many projects going. It's not what I can get done. It's what can I put off.
Yeah, it is a bummer when you don't want to put any of them off!
I totally support what you are doing! If anybody can make guppies and under-gravel filters cool again, you can. It was awesome to hear the enthusiasm in your voice and I can't wait for what's next!
Bringing cool back! 1 undergravel and guppy at a time!
when it gets really cold in our house we leave the faucets dripping and it makes a world of difference, especially in a multiple story house.
I know this is rather late in the day, but I just found this post. The angel fish in Corey's tank look very much to be Pterophyllum leopoldi. The spot at the base of the dorsal fin is diagnostic. P. leopoldi also have a pronounced nuchal notch but this is not the case with these specimens. Really good to see this often overlooked species in an aquarium, and in a setup suitable for its needs.
I understand how you feel that's why I am going to concentrate on mollies and swordtails have a great holiday and enjoy your family
+David Bellman share some on the home show so I can see when you do it :)

Hi Cory.. excellent tour.. wow you are busy. I hope you can save some of the corydora eggs.. good luck.
Enjoy it, don't make it a chore treat it like a hobby and not just work your fish will be happy and so will you
COLLECT THE EGGS! OH LORD PLEASE DONT JUST LET THOSE GO!😄😧😄
That's what I told him Neon.
Save The Eggs 🥚
Cory- follow your passion & what you like...thanks as always for another excellent video. Looking forward to live bearer updates.
Those are barbadass fish, lol love the living room tank very cool.
I see what you did there.
Nice Corydoras. Good luck with them
I would love to have a huge breeding room of just guppies and bettas. Lots of varieties of both.
SAVE THE EGGS!!! Hahah Love me some Cory's :D
Moving water doesn't freeze.I lived in Fairbanks for 20 years and there were rivers that ran all winter even in 50 below.
Wow, that's impressive.

my grandma does that every time it gets really cold so yes it works. Also if you don't and if your lucky the pipes won't burst but you'll hear noises coming from the pipes when you turn them on the next morning.
That panda guppy tank is incredible. I love livebearers as well. I'm thinking about getting a colony of halfbeaks for breeding.
Y love corydoras fish!
They are verry happy fish. 😃👋🍀🫧
agitation of the surface will keep water from freezing to certain extents. The colder it gets, the more you have to agitate to avoid a freeze. it just adds mechanical energy to the system to replace the heat energy lost.
+Gaming With Fitz awesome. Thanks.
absolutely love the Cory fish, will definitely get some of them for my tank.Thanks so much Cory.😃

Good move. Letting the water drip works. At least in Minnesota it does.
My two corys literally just laid eggs as I watched them, I had NOO clue of this happening I thought I had two males and not prepared for it and they are everywhere..

Amazing video
Yep, we have water drip in WI. every year to keep pipes from freezing. -14 is normal here a lot of the winter, lol ⛄❄
haha...im at -17F right now....with colder weather on the way.
love the videos Cory. I know we'll get far more out of you channel if your doing stuff you love. I look forward to spending more time with you in Your fish room.
Great video!! I have a female barbarous sitting on eggs right now just waiting for the magic to happen :)
Hey Cory, teeming the water works. Not a wives tale. Lived in Maine with several feet of snow every winter, it works. Another helpful hint is to teem it outside away from the house.

Great in depth shot and video piece of the Corys. ...and Great in depth video this time.love it
I enjoyed this video. Thank you.

we get -10 at least a week through winter every year. one year -30...... the _snow_ was frozen an inch deep...
Hi Cory, another great update - keep 'em coming. I feel I need to point out that Corydoras Barbatus have been reclassified into the genus Scleromystax, so now they are Scleromystax Barbatus.

Obviously the colder it is the quicker it must move. Folks have done it for years to keep pipes from freezing. Experiment with it. Good luck.
lol you could just show off all the current fish in the store and I would watch an hour worth
As far as the freezing water Google - latent heat of fusion - they use it here in Napa to keep from loosing the bloom on the grape vines.
let me know if you want to sell the any wild Betta.

Hopefully everything works out for you! 😃
I hope so too!
yes and wrap any outside or outside wall pipes or you can use straw
+Ryan Osborne yeah, I believe all the pipes are insulated, but I should check again.
Aquarium Co-Op you also use straw around the footer on the outside
Wow, great series, I just watched all 37 of your fish room updates. They were great. Congrats, it was great to watch the room for the beginning. What's next??
Nice Cories
Thank you
You could do what Than from Tidal Gardens does and make videos on every species so you could reference online customers to your videos to cut down on the question.
+Zac Soriano I could do that, but I enjoy the personal interaction with people 1 on 1. And lots of people have specific problems based on their water etc. But more videos always helps :)
love the jungle.
I'm late to the game (only by a little) but should you stay away from areas on a lake near an inlet or an outlet? If course. The moving water makes for thin ice.
Here in Idaho, we're having the most snow in 20 years!
It's a real thing. It keeps the pipes from freezing. I have had the pipes stay good at -20.
I wish people would understand that if you actually want to see the personalities and colour of the wild types of betta you need to have heavily tannin rich waters, theyll never colour up or leave their hides without it ( they also don't particularly like other fish in the tank )
Wild caught angel fish @ 2:59 have amazing metallics as you mention! Is that a typical trait with wild caught angels which tends to become less of a feature in later generations once captive? I've just never seen metallics like that in real life on an angelfish before but don't think I've seen wild caught ones (or even close-too) either
I feel like i haven't seen them with that much metallic myself before either. So who knows.
I wish I could send you my guppies. I bred some green iridescent ones and some endlers but they are getting moved out. it'd be cool to see what you could dod with them.
Hey cool video, I actually have been really into breeding Cory’s For a couple years now and have been able to develop what I believe to be my own strain… For me it’s very cool to try to come up with new ones.

Them tiger endlers look awesome. U should cross breed with guppies. I bet the fry would look beautiful..
+John's Aquarium tiger endlers already are crossed with guppies :) I plan to keep them looking like that as I think they are awesome.
See your always teaching me something.. lol
Love love the teacup platies! Been obsessed with them since I saw this video earlier today. Doin all the research on them! Unfortunately there's not a lot of info I can find on them. A new bucket list fish!
Yeah they aren't common at all. I fell in love with them about 7 years ago. Missed them ever since I had gotten rid of them.
Aquarium Co-Op any tips for keeping them? My water is super hard, like in the 7.8-8.4 range. Water changes help keep it down but it's always going to be high. Also any tips where to find them?
what keeps all the algae off your plants? in the first tank the cory's or the snails
Cool Vid. Always nice to do stuff your into versus doing what others want you to do. If live bearers is what you like then that's what you should be messing with the most. They are interesting fish. I only own the wild variety of Green Sailfin Mollies and they are pretty neat. Breed like rabbits. Can't wait to see you breed the new endlers love them little guys.
I want to do some more mollies down the road.
I haven't found any mollies that truly catch my eye. Have seen a few guppies though online. To buy or not to buy lol. Don't care to order fish in winter. Only thing stopping me right now.
can you pleaseeee update on those goldfish in the big tank ? Pretty pleaseee !!! (*secretly hoping you will have a go pro by Christmas for under water footage*)
+Teni Teni I'll try and shoe em off more in a video soon. I have an underwater camera already too :)
Hey man I dig your vids. Enjoy your Holiday season. :)
Thanks for hanging out with me Eric, Happy Holidays :)

Ha I got you beat I live in Ontario Canada and we had -20F and next week -30F oh boy it was cold and more to come. it just shows that you care about the fish, the customers Cory that is why you don't ship fish this time a year People will understand. you have and Awesome customers services that's why.
Hello, I am new to Chiclids and i have a empty 47 gallon tank. How many fish can get in this aquarium? In what tempeture do they live? Can someone tell me everything about Chiclids?
i like the corydoras , Rice Fish and live berears. enough cichlids on UA-cam.
Kevin b yea, I prefer the cheaper simple fish aye
I am trying to find where it says its going to be negative 14. That makes me happy but i dont see the report anywhere =(
Is that 14 below (or minus 14) in farenheit or celsius. Hate being picky but it is minus or below, saying negative sounds weird
Lowest I found was 22F. Thats not that cold... (he said from sunny Rose Bowl country 64F right now)
When you say you have to pull that one out because you don't like the colour what do you do with the fish ?
is cool that koi can live under ice.
