You forgot my fish the great Asian Arowana
Very neat video, are you planning a saltwater version as well or just doing freshwater?
Joseph Pereira the ultimate blood red Asian arrowana.
No thanks

John: angelfish breed alot
Guppies: hold my flakes
THAT'S SO TRUE
"Hold my flakes" i love it.
Best comment!🤙🤣
Mollies:also hold my flakes
Cherry shrimp: pathetic
My betta fish has a whole 40 gallon to themself haha! It’s more of a “decoration/planted tank” so he’s living like a king! He’s also almost 6 years old. My little grandpa!
@@James-vy5jg what? LOL anyways that's dope 40 gallons?? I really inspire to have a planted tank with fishes swimming in it. I just started with a 3.5 gallon one.
I just got a 10 gallon with a sunset thicklipped gourami and 4 danio I’m going to move them into my old turtle tank when I get a new tank for my turtle
Update: there all in a 55 gallon tank now
My betta is in a 10 gallon with a small school of black neon tetras and some tiger patterned nerite snails.

Thank you Maddy.
Thanks!!!
I live in trinidad where guppies are in streams and rivers and lakes and to see them as one of the most popular pet fish in the hobby satisfies me
For the past few months, I've had a beautiful blue betta in a 6.5 gallon aquarium with a filter and heater, and I've had a blast keeping up with him. He's been energetic, and his color has been much better since bringing him home from the pet store. Thank you guys for your videos to help get me started! I've forgotten how much I love having fish
I’m in the same situation right now with my betta :) I had a fish when I was a kid but I guess I didn’t remember how much fun it was to take care of them. Totally understand why it’s a hobby for so many people
Idk why but I find your vedios relaxing and enjoyable to listen.

As a kid (50-60 years ago) we had a 10 gallon and always had some assortment of neons, harlequin rasboras, zebra danios, and guppies. There is a reason most of these are still the most popular fish to keep half a century later.
Started keeping fishes since the lockdown and spent most of my day watching them. I dont regret one bit
Same 😩😂😂😂 it’s better than tv at times 🙏
@Jason C all non-essential stores are closed. Luckily a pet store is essential.
@@wehatejasmiineI agree, i could stare at them allday
It really is a relaxing thing to watch. Aquariums have been my visual therapy even before the lockdown. I could watch an aquarium for hours just to see new details and behaviors from nature.
What did tank and fish that is so cool
Love the list! Pufferfish, despite some challenges they imply, would be another fish I think hobbyists should try, especially pea puffers, since they're a bit easier than the rest, in my opinion. 🐡🐡🐡
I started with goldfish myself as a kid...but I’m so in love with my African Cichlids! I was ready to go to salt water for some unique looking fish and then found the best looking freshwater fish in the game! IMO 😊
yeah imo freshwater fish look just as good as any saltwater fish. African, discus, and s. american cichlids are beautiful.
You have a nice channel men
Hey i work at a non-corporation pet store and i watch your videos to learn about these fish so I know what to tell customers , love the videos : )
wessideJoshh good for you man!
Dude, I'm a wannabe landscape architect setting up a water garden and I still watch this.
Just sending encouraging words. I so appreciate your channel and how well you joth explain the hobby.. I am NOT an expert in the hobby, and havnt had an aquarium fir a long time, actually giving up the hobby for different reasons, but kept watching because you guys are very passionate about it and very down to earth.. when I can, because of your inspiration, I will probably have an aquarium again...
Idk about the flowerhorn for this list, Oscars or african cichlids are both way more popular. Either way cool video 👍👍
Yeah... I agree, but when you think about how many people keep them all over the world, oscars and African cichlids are less kept than flowerhorns.
Well not on this side of the world...
@@mauricematla1215 true, good point
In asia they are. I live in singapore and there are alot of Lo han(Flower Horn) keepers here.
@@fallen_leaves1674 I never seen flowerhorns, I have lost count of how many African cichilds, oscars I have seen.
Plus the South American cichilds like Angelfish, discus, and German Blue Ram are popular too.
Favorites are killifish , which I fell in love with in 1972. Also , wild type livebearers and small rainbows. Favorite tetras - sailfin and Congo.
Even though the care for goldfish in the hobby isn't good, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. I have mine in 40 gallon breeders and 75 gallons. 40 breeder is the smallest I think anyone should go and that is for 2-3 TOPS in there
Langen and Animals I have 1 goldfish in a 30 gallon tank
@@ethanbruh3476 that probably works out great too!
Y’all think a single oranda is good for 30 gallons ?
@@rwx6199 yes but 2 orandas can also be in 30 gallon, if your oranda feels sad alone then get him a friend if he is fine then ok
Feeder guppies from pet supermarket have been my go to fish for 3 of my 4 tanks. It’s so much fun watching them grow, way less frustrating if anything happens, and I can’t tell you how many Endler’s I’ve gotten from doing this❤️
So happy you guys included red tailed sharks! You NEED to do a care guide video on them. There are barely ANY on the internet, it’s so sad
If you don’t have a tank for a gold fish, make a tank out of a old plant box, 50GL minum but mine is in a 300L plant box, and grow some plants as well (:
Angel fish:*BREED A LOT*
Guppies: hold my flakes
Cherry shrimp: *HOLD MY WIVES*
Guppy easy to breed...my friend that might be one of the biggest understatements in the fishing hobby right now lol.
Is this true??? I keep cichlids 🤷🏾♂️
Oh my gosh I love this video great information and beautiful job at letting the newbie hobbyists know what is there for the chosen 🐟 fish.
I just got back into fish keeping. I had Oranda when I was young. Now I'm older and getting back into goldfish. This time around I am going with Ranchu. An even more beautiful fish, but more of a challenge too. Just how I like it. :)
How did you come back with so much motivation and with so much better videos after you break from the channel? I am so impressed by that John. Well done bro. Do not get me wrong, loved to hang out in your livestreams late at night in 2014 (From Sweden) But now you are so proffessional with your editing and video quality. I just wanted to say that you and your wife are doing a great job with your "new" channel. 👊
Back in 1960 when I was 9 I had about a 1 gallon squat fish bowl in the middle of the kitchen table where I kept my guppies. It was a wonderful experience for me and a great start to a great hobby.
love from INDIA...❤❤ your videos are very relaxing...during this lockdown times...
How sharks and flower horns are on this list and not cory cats is madness.
I'd even put African cichlids, Oscar's, barbs above sharks and F.H.
Agree with the rest tho. Cool video
This is a list of popularity, and sharks sell like crazy. Honestly they sell better than a lot of others on this list.
Lisa: bettas need filter and heater
Me: *keeps one in a large patio pond on my balcony with a peace lily as a centerpiece for them to play around in but has no filter and heater and is living a happy life*
Just curious, not judging, but how long did your betta live?
Loving these videos. They really thought me alot
Its ok Lisa, I have also gone betta crazy xD Honestly if I could I would do my entire 11foot wall of nothing but bettas!
I know right! Bettas are absolutely amazing!
They look great when they have a larger tank 😎👍
Ha ha me too
Can you do 10 unsung fish of the hobby, or fish that should be seen more often? I would put betta imbellis (a wild type betta) mosquito fish (a north american livebearer) and white cloud mountian minnow
The wildform colouration of both Betta imbellis and Betta splendens are beyond magnificent, a shame that people keep mixing them to create bigger fish or new colouration, or just lack of knowlegde.
Hey, where’d the emerald eye rasbora go?
@@inkerstales2336 don't mention the lack of taste, I personally like more natural colored fish it doesn't matter how dull or whatever the color is i just like the fish for what they are
beautiful! refreshing to see these cute lil creatures
I just rehomed three very large goldfish that had outgrown their tank. They now reside in a huge pond at a local business🐟🐠🐡
Goldfish need very large tanks, and single tailed varieties definitely need a pond.
@@ericplunder2744 Yep. I knew they would get bigger than people think but failed to look into just how big they could actually get. (I'm not exactly a pro lol) I had them in a 29 gallon & before I knew it they were the size of my hand. So, knowing they'd soon start to die because of the lack of space & having nowhere to keep a larger tank, I donated them to someone with a huge pond. We've had a problem in my area of people dumping the poor fellas into the local lakes & streams, it hit my newsfeed & that's how I found out how big they get. Now I fully look into any fish I want to get. Most are too large for my setup ☹so I just have my beta & a pictus cat in there for now
@Le Baguette I'm waiting for a few guppies to come in at my local shop as we speak 😁
My first fish was a arrowana but my brother put soap in her tank I was so sad but I never knew that she would get SO BIG I probably would have never been able to keep her when she got full-size though but I wish I could have and here soon I’m getting another one and now I actually know what I’m doing and I’m prepared to make a very large pond for her 🥰
Ummm no Cory’s? We will not stand for this 🤣
I second this! Lol. I love my little Corydoras!!
Remember guys. It's their opinions. He literally stated it out in the first of the video
Corydoras duplicareus are my favourite I have 6 of them now and I love them 😍😍😍
Corydoras are so cuteee ! I have two but they seem so happy. Gonna add more when I get bigger tank
do you mean dorys well dory did survive fresh water so whers the dorys
"Mollies don't eat their own fry"
YEAH RIGHT
right?
Caleb Sunder I’ve got fry separated from the adults by a net. Every time one goes near it, a female platy I have doesn’t hesitate to attempt to eat it.
Guys! Some mollys doesn't eat their fry! I've kept alot of mollys and they didn't eat their own fry because they're well fed. BUT these mollys are a bit Rare.
We brought home 4 dalmatian mollies and had them for 3 days before we saw babies. As far as we can tell, there are only 3 left.
If u don't want to it to eat make a large breeding box but dont even think abt buying that small breeding box
I have over half of the fish on that list and plan on adding to most of the others... great videos. 🤙🏽
I always love your top ten. And again this one looks spot on.
That first flower horn was gorgeous, loved that full body labyrinth pattern
I really love the respect you show goldfish!!
I agree with the list but I think oscars should be on that list also Cory catfish
I think I've owned everything on the list but goldfish. Awesome video. I cant wait to get another flowerhorn!
I keep mostly oscars and knife fish, but when I set up my planted 10g guppy tank it was a game changer. Love coming home from work to look at my platinum guppies
Huh, I’ve always been a cichlid guy myself, having a 55 gallon Mbuna tank and a 75 gallon new world cichlid tank. But I have this empty 29 gallon just sitting around and after seeing this video, I really like the guppies you used in this video for display. I’ve never been too big in live bearers but seeing some of these Guppies has shown that they have as much color as my Mbunas do. Definitely thinking of guppies or shell dwellers or a pair of convicts for my 29G.
flowerhorns are awesome!! i had one for a bit and the best way to describe it was like having a freshwater puppy.
These fish hobby presentations from KGTropicals are wonderful. Love them. Great job.
My minnows school with my mystery snail... and it's so cute and fun to watch
Happy Easter!
Love it!
But i didn't see cories and khuli loaches🤔
Nice video the fishes you all pick are some really cool fish
Everytime I click on UA-cam
I search kgtropicals hopping
That you put a new video
Why are you you not subscribed with notifications on
I am subscribed
This really helped a lot I love your videos
Yes you are right. A 100 lb aquarium with 1000 guppies in it would look amazing, but only after I add a few aggressive monster cichlids in with them. 😂
I'm surprised not to see clown knife fish. Beautiful majestic fish. I had a pair of 4 ft royal clowns in my 300 gallon years ago. Absolutely one of the best fresh water fish. Pictus Catfish should be on this list too.
Where are discus, oscars, stingrays, and arowana?
Definitely flowerhorn 😊👍
This really helped a lot love your videos
Great video! Shocked by Sharks and Flowerhorns (esp. @ #1 - although they may be the most current trendy/popular ). Thought the list would include Oscars, Gourami, or Corys instead. 👍🏼
Auratus Cichlid. Love him. Great mediator and keeps all of my other mbunas in check.
I feel like one of the biggest if not the the biggest issue with this hobby is petco and petsmart. I have had my freshwater aquarium for about ten years and before setting up I read a few books which was great. However through the years as issues and questions have come up I have found 99% of the employees at these big box stores just aren’t knowledgeable. They sell fish without giving you any information about what you are buying etc. it’s too bad because so many issues could be avoided if only the people selling the fish and equipment were knowledgeable about what they were selling. Thanks for the great videos!
Yup my goldfish got huge when I was a kid! Had them for a long time too ❤
Sadly, one of my bettas Carl died yesterday. I'm going to make a much bigger tank and this helped a ton. Thank you!
I have tetras and Corey cats and snails in my 20 gallon tank there doing amazing
4:50 I was not expecting that
I have a 20 gallon tank with about 10 zebra danios and they are so fun to watch swim and kick around all day long
hello I'm from Indonesia🇮🇩, very lucky to meet you, even though we are from different countries🌏. your video work is very beautiful, I always see it from every message that comes in, I really appreciate your work, hopefully we can meet again in the latest video,❤
I had some young giant danios in with my communitee tank (while I get my 110 gallon cycled). My dwarf gourami's were not happy at all. The danios were way too hyper.
coolest list there cheers :D "D
Discus are the cutest fish in the word
Guppies 🐠🐠🐠🐠😃 so lovely and interesting to watch!
I remember the first time I saw a Flowerhorn. I thought "Aw, poor guy has a tumor". Some people like oddities, or bright colors, but I like the fish to look more natural. I love my guppies but I find I prefer to watch the females tank with their shorter fins and only a splash of color.
Cory catfish are one of my must have freshwater fish. They have a lot of personality.
put a betta w/ the corys in a 10 gal . you wont regret it
i just got some corys and they are so funny
I have a 125 with several of the fish on this list! 😂😂 I have 6-7 giant danios. Super active!!
@fantasticfreaks,
I gotta agree, i had pea puffers they puffed up they looked like little golf balls
You should do a video about the best type of plecos for small aquariums and what they can go with.
kelberi peacock bass are my favorites with koi and goldfish tied for 2nd
My favorites are the Clown Loach, the Texan, and the Firemouth. The problem with Neon Tetras is they are so small that when one dissapears, its hard to find. Right now I have one missing, and I suspect my Texan ate it
Have had my ryukan goldfish for 3 years
I love cories so much! must have!
I like the plecos you said john, but my fav are vampire pleco and the rubber lip pleco
Common misconception. Not all plecos are algae eaters. many are actually carnivores and would only eat algae periodically.
Yassss!!🙌 Just say NO buying a glow fish !!!!! Lisa is a Bay-dAss !! We say Bay-da fish....others say Bet-ta 🤙💜🐠
Bet-ta is the correct pronunciation , but it seems that bay-ta has become acceptable. The latter is the way the letter in the Greek alphabet (beta) is pronounced. The name is derived from the local name for the fish - ikan betah.
@@jeffmckee1825 I am well aware of the correct way of saying it but I'm still saying Baaaayduh. Lol. Baaayduh, Baayduh 😆
@@upserlivinthedream Notice I did state that it is accepted. Same as some orchid genera that get mispronounced. For example , Clowesia is accepted as Clo-wess-ee-a , but correctly is pronounced Close-ee-a.
Careful! The Bet-ta police are coming!!!
@@KGTropicals 😂
Good Video guys 🔥
Nice fish 😉👍🙋♀️
Could you do a top ten shrimp? I can't decide what to go for
A top ten shrimp would be most of the available shrimp in most places lol. Get cherry shrimp, everything red gets vibrant with tropical flake.
I bought 2 Comet feeders $1.00 each 1.5 " long and put them in a 50 gallon 2 years ago. Will post them if you like.
5th grade my teacher kept guppies, they had babies sometime around Christmas. Close second to coolest class besides the teacher with the giant gerbil sawdust aquarium
Peacock cichlids are another popular fish I find i see photos of them on all social media platforms i use see them more than anything else
I keep danios with my goldfish, in a large tank, and they get on fine. They can tolerate colder temps so I don't need a winter heater.
Great video 👍
Also bala sharks... they're awesome!
I agree no more small containers for Bettas!
Just got my first 20 gallon tank and ordered a flower horn I’m so hype this is gonna be awesome
Are you going to get a bigger tank because 20 gallons is way too small for a flowerhorn
I'm planning on getting some red cap goldfish for my new 70 gallon tank.
Hoping to find some extra inspiration from this video :)
So, a betta fish it is then. Thank you for this video! Very informative 💙
Flowerhorns... yuk! XD
@@alchemiejocson7210 Looks like a tumor
My favourite is in the list - sharks. I have kept bala sharks. they are majestic. But I dont hv 6' tank so rehomed them and neve kept again.
But I love and adore rainbow and Red-tails. Centrepiece in my 42g for last 20 years. Current one is 10 years old and going strong.
They are hardy fish. Doesn't poop or eat a lot. Stay healthy. Minds own business. I keep them with gouramis to maintain the bioload low.
What's not to love!
💕❤💗
KGTropicals i have a question do I have to add a filter or can I just put a drop of the thing that eliminates chlorine and put the food cause I want to have a fish but if you need a filter I think I might not get a fish
Honey gouramis (any gourami basically) are one of my favourite along with sharks. Not in list :(
Beautiful
I love bettas as well...can they be kept in a 36 gallon aquarium with some fast swimming fish luke giant danios. I do have other fish in tank. Videos are great thanx
