Hi Chris, at my work a coworker asked me to take her tank she's not able to take care of any more. She says she's going to school and doesn't have time for them anymore. She's bringing the tank this friday, she said it's a 20 gallon long with 6 corydoras and 6 African dwarf frogs with fluval canister filter she says . Should I try to re-home them all? To me the tank she is trying to give me to take over for her is WAY too overstocked and not enough room. I appreciate any feedback.Thank you
Was at the tailor the other day and saw a tiny fishtank on the counter that I had never noticed before...I thought "wow, Chris would LOVE this tank!!" - a very generous 3 gallon (plastic) tank for SIX, ~4+ inch goldfish playing bumper cars inside - 0/5 on fish care, 5/5 tailor
The escapee lizard was a nice touch. Once upon a time I raised baby orphaned flying foxes, fruit bat. . I took it to local school for a special event day assembly in the big hall. My baby flew away from my hand during a talk about bats. Imagine the noise from an entire school of kids kindergarten to 6th grade. My baby flew for the first time that day all around inside of building before politely returning to my hand. 😆 hope Amy little story makes you smile. My kitty sounds like you. Sneezing and runny nose. My fish are great though. Collected danio eggs today
my comfort item when sick is actually a drink. Apple juice + sprite. My dad always made it for me when I was little, so it's embedded deep as a requirement for healing. Feel better Chirs!
when we were kids and had a cold, my mom would put onion and garlic into a pot of hot water and we would stand over the pot with a towel over our heads (to keep the steam in) and just breath the infused steam in for a few minutes at a time. works well I'd say lol
For fast fish (or really any fish) I like using a clear plastic container or cup, get them used to eating brine shrimp out of it, leaving a small amount thawed in the bottom and doing a slow partial submerge while holding it. Doing this every once in a while will help them get used to going inside the cup to look for and eat food. When it comes time to catch the fish you can use this technique to let the target fish go inside the cup and by tilting the cup up slowly you've captured your fish stress and damage free. I also use this technique to move my fish especially my betta buddies with the delicate fins!
QOTW: hot shower. Always. Helps by humidifying and the shower is relaxing. Then I usually have some Gatorade to replenish electrolytes and hydrate a little since water usually tastes awful to me when I’m sick. Also any soda that you like. Something about the fizzy bubbles always make me feel a bit better and they can scratch an itchy throat!
My poor beautiful boy Siren started in a 2.5 gallon tank, but I soon upgraded him to a 10 gallon. Though still new, he absolutely loves his water lilies and I hope he is happier! 2 years I've had Siren and I'm hoping for another 2.
Haha, upgrading my Bristenose pleco from a 20 gallon to a 36 gallon bowfront. After spending 20 mins chasing him down with the net, his bristles got stuck and then some broke off, poor guy!! So what finally got him out was when he latched onto a driftwood branch, I just picked it up, and when he got to the surface, I wrapped my hand around him so he couldn't get off and fall on the floor. I stuck him into his (very temporary) cup that way, and he just chilled out, eating the biofilm off the wood. When I was done moving the old tank I put him back, I plan to move him into the new tank the same way, get him to latch onto a branch and just take the whole thing out. Just gotta let it cycle first...
Chirs, I've been sick off and on for 2 months (kid started daycare). Keep moving is very important. I have a soup that I make and eat for days: chicken stock or bone broth. 1 can of corn, black beans, diced tomatoes with peppers x2. Rinse the corn and black beans. 1 packet of taco seasoning. Add shredded cheese if you like that. 2 cans of shredded chicken. Let it simmer for an hour. Grab some tortilla chips and throw them on top. Using an air purifier also really helps.
Hi Chris! I'm from Ukraine, and we actually have a cool trick to relieve runny nose. Many of us keep Bryophyllum daigremontianum at home. If you extract juice from the leafs of the plant (you need a female plant that has "babies" growing on the leafs) and drop in the nose you will make yourself sneeze excessively for some time. In the end you will have yourself a breathing nose. Works every time!
Im terrible at eating while I'm sick, but any kind of soup is a great go too. When I'm super congested, I sit in a hot shower with some white flower oil in there so you get some mentholated steam (we always have some for sore muscles from my chronic pain)
I had 2 goldfish in a 6.5 gallon, and I wanted to get them out so bad. For a few months they were stuck in that little box and once I actually had a spot to put it I bought a 30 gallon. After I had the tank cycled and prepped, I moved my fish over. They really enjoyed it, but almost immediately got Ick. I caught it way too late and now they’ve both died, but the tank is cycling again to prep for a new set of fish. These videos have been helpful in seeing just how beautiful tanks can be, so hopefully next time I can take better care of whatever I put into it.
10:20 This is why I feed my ottos when the light turns off so the guppies won't get to it first. I mean they will eventually but they might sleep but the ottos just scour the tank 24/7.
Q1: I like rice vermicelli in anchovy broth with an egg and some spring onion. Q2: Quick remedy: press hard on forehead as you lay down, rub on some Vicks over your nostrils, take a hot shower, take turns breathing through mouth and nose (e.g breathe in through mouth, breathe out through nose) Source: Trust me, I live with rhino sinusitis almost all my life. And I'm allergic to cats but have 2 furbabies that sleeps in my room every night.
It’s been a MINUTE since I caught an episode of FTR. That rap at the end is absolute fire btw. Get well soon Chris, and bless you for those sneezes lol.
AW ty so much, I always get giddy whenever I get compliments on the rap, especially becuz I SUCK at 'rapping' LOL Ty for the blessings on me sneezes xD
Its kinda weird to hear everyone's first experiences in fish keeping, since I was a middle child and therefore my older and younger siblings got most of what they wanted so I never had a pet fish when I was little. The first fish I ever had were five guppies my mother forced on me because her guppies we're having to many babies. They lived in a small vase with live plants and gravel substrate and only lived there for a week or so before they got a fully live planted 5gal with hard scape. So you could say my "first" tank was pretty good, at least in my eyes.
For QOTW, when I'm sick I rub peppermint oil on my neck and chest, the smell helps clear me out. But make sure to dilute it with coconut oil or it will burn. Herbal tea is also soothing.
as someone who is chronically ill, sleep as much as you can, if you can't sleep, eat some soup/drink some tea and chill on the couch. your body needs rest more than anything
My mother used to cut up turnips into a glass then throw sugar on top of that. Whatever juice came out of it was basically our cough syrup. She was polish and grew up in Germany in the 1940's so yeah.
When I get sick or congested or have a sore throat, I get a beef bullion cube, dissolve it in a cup of hot water, and drink the broth like its tea. Takes the sore throat away for an hour or so.
My favorite things for getting over any sickness I have are: Hot green tea with ginger, lemon, and honey (works wonders) Hydration (lots of ice water, some Gatorade or pedialyte to help replenish them electrolytes) Long hot showers for the relaxation and humidity Nasal spray Healthy food (I found that I crave more healthy food when I’m sick, seems to help me feel better a lot faster). For me, this includes a lot of dark leafy greens, olive oil, and lean protein along with fruit and orange juice And most importantly, as much rest as possible. Rest doesn’t necessarily mean sleep, just try not to exert yourself too much. A good mental state helps a lot too, so try to stay positive and keep up with the people that you care about. Hope you feel better Chirs!
When Im not feeling well, I stick to the basics... Gingerale, liptons chicken noodle soup, water and lots of sleep (watching my fishies helps sooth as well) 😊 Hope your feeling better soon Chris.
Mint leaves tea. Mentol is a great anesthesic, it also helps to clear nose and sinuses. helps to aliviate throat pain and headache specially in a virose or alergic disorder. Have it in your garden every time, make a tea, inhale the vapor and drink it while hot. Not gonna cure anything, but helps a lot.
It’s the change if season, I have a cold as well, fortunately I did all my water changes one day before I got sick, when I’m sick I eat my moms chicken stew and coffee and to relive a stuffy nose, I take a steam and when it’s really bad, I use a nasal spray but I usually stick to the steam method cause that works all the time, hope u get well soon and stay away from water for a while, ur fish will understand lol.
Warm tea with honey and lemon is a great go to when I'm sick. To clear a stuffy nose I eat something spicy, but if you are queasy you probably don't want to try that. My dad used to get the jar of horseradish out of the fridge and have me take a deep breath, but you can get the same effect with VaporRub. A steamy shower helps too. (Don't take that the wrong way) Good luck dude, hope you feel better soon.
When I'm sick I usually eat lliters and liters of soup and infusions and grogs, plus some rice. And for the runny nose, I make inhalations with essential oils
For clearing out sinuses and just breathe a bit easier menthol crystals should really help! Put some in a mug, pour in boiling water and let the smell fill up the room. Don't inhale too much/too close though - they do be strong
we have completly turned our 350 liter tank upside down and did a new scaping job on it. All my endler guppies move in this tank and they look stunning in this tank. i had ... some cichlids ... you could not catch them. this was the reason why we did a new scape ... i am glad i do not have them anymore they all found homes in big tanks
Question de la semaine : Bronchites chaque année. Pour soulager les quintes de toux : sirop de radis noir (tu râpe ou coupe finement du radis noir, tu le recouvre de sucre, une nuit au frigo et le lendemain tu récupères le sirop. Une cuillère à soupe 3-5 fois par jours. Quand j'étais petite je ne voulais que de la soupe au potiron quand j'étais malade. PS: tu va pouvoir réviser ton français, je comprends très bien l'anglais mais je ne maîtrise pas assez pour l'écrire correctement.
A good cold remedy/comfort drink of mine is hot black tea mixed with ground ginger and black pepper and a ton of sugar (which I only do because I can’t drink stuff without sugar when I’m sick for some reason). It helps with congestion and coughing, as well as nausea :) hope you feel better soon!!
QOTW: Tomato & rice soup, ginger ale, or hot tea with honey always makes me feel better when I feel sick. I recommend Mullein tea! :) Also, Vick's Vaporub helps a ton with nasal congestion. (Or an OTC decongestant like Mucinex or pseudoephedrine if it's really bad)
I eat hot and sour soup (helps stuffy nose). To relieve stuffy nose lay down for a minute and then walk around. Kinda bonk your nostrils closing and opening them via the outside of your nose and then the congestion goes away temporarily
i remember having 1 chonk of a bronze corydoras with around 25 balloon mollies that kept breeding out of control 2 loaches that died from the crayfish 1 white crayfish 2 angelfish that died from the crayfish later the crayfish died when he escaped and crawled to the kitchen down the stairs and some how avoided the 6 cats and our dachshund and ended up in the sink i put him back in the tank and a week later he died yes that was my starting tank it was a 10 gallon thank you for teaching me about fish or there would be more abuse down the road
Hot soup, my dude. The hotter, the better. While you eat it, hold it close to your face and breathe in all that steam. A hot shower also works, but it doesn't give the same kind of flavor. And if you are REALLY having problems, swipe a little Mentholatum under your nose. That will DEFINITELY clear the sinuses. Feel better soon Chirs!
Common cold remedies: Before bed Vicks vapor rub on the bottom of your feet, put on socks, then go to sleep. Also to help with the stuffy nose, try that hot & sour soup, or a steaming hot shower.
Soup soup soup. And also to relieve a noseclog I sometimes put oregano and eucalyptus essential oil in a pan with hot boiled water, and just keep my head over it breathing deeply. Hope it works for you
boiled ginger Chris, drink the water you use to boil it (minty and hot in the throat lol), I always have it when having colds or cough. works a treat. i do take it purely ginger though, others do put honey or lemon on it. the more ginger the better
I'm so glad my beta betta joke about Zenos made it. The tank is actually is my first since I was 10 years old, not 10 years old though, haha. It's about 4 months old. I'm also currently sick and eating instant noodles. It doesn't work. What does work is somewhere between 18 and 478 hours of continuous sleep.
My first tank was a five gallon bow front with blue lid, and matching blue gravel, stocked with a single Melanochromis auratus, that yellow cichlid with the black stripe.
this is so old, so hopefully you're not still sick 😂 but spicy food can help clear out your sinuses but might not be a great idea depending on how your stomach is doing while being sick. soup, tea, mashed taters, and tons of ginger are my go-to
Fav Comfort Food- Chicken Soup with lots of veggies and shredded chicken Home Remedy-Put some Vicks Vaporub in boiling hot water and inhale the steam (put a towel around ur head)
First of all my home remedy for every cold is honey. Alone or in herbal tea. Honey bee made! None of that man made from sugar garbage. Next I always crave macaroni with milk and parmeson cheese. My Mom always made it for me when I was sick as a kid. Yes I know it sounds odd but it’s my all time fave comfort food. Feel better Chris
I have an autoimmune disease that attacks my sinuses, so i deal with this all the time. The best thing to do is sinus rinses. Shirt term, Afrin will unclog your bose in seconds, but you have to be careful because if you overuse it then it becomes addictive and your nose will stay stuffed up without it.
A 5.5 is tiny, fits on any surface, could be balanced with a single stick in the center without risking cracking or damage, it takes next to nothing to put together, you could do a planted setup in a 5.5 for less than 40 bucks, yet people buy .25 or .35 gallon fish bowls for 30 bucks and put something living inside of there without a second though...
Warm water ( as hot as you can tolerate for drinking) with honey and lemon. The honey and lemon help clear out the throat and the warm water helps break up the nasal congestion. Any warm drink will help really as long as its not super surgery or high in caffine. Also a humidifier usually helps with the congestion.
For fixing a cold, try having a super hot bath and then soaking yourself in cold water straight after (garden hose works well). It is extremely good for clearing out fluid and improving your respiratory health.
I had 6 corys in a 10 gallon with 2 mollies and a guppy they all do good had no issues now they be moved to my 75 gallon tank and they act the same way they did in the 10
To relieve a stuffed nose, this is gonna sound rlly odd but: Hold your breath and your nose and then run as fast as you can around until you cannot anymore. Your nose will be cleared the next breath you take. Good for occasional congestion relief.
omg LOL I definitely think this will work, I did a few jumping jacks and it already was kinda clear. I'm afraid though if I run as fast as I can without breathing, I might get a fever the next morning LOL
TOTALLY agree about bristlenose plecos. They don't let anyone intercept their food. I've seen mine push away Amanos! LOL With regards to the head mess - how brave are you? I know you're happy to put ungodly hot stuff in your stomach, but... if you're brave, check out a product called Sinus Plumber. It's a nose spray. Will make your eyeballs feel like they're burning, but it does a really nice job of clearing the sinuses.
Make sure your water parameters are safe for your fishy pets! bit.ly/3FMgR2u

QOTW: Tomato & rice soup, ginger ale, or hot tea with honey always makes me feel better when I feel sick. I recommend Mullein tea! :) Also, Vick's Vaporub helps a ton with nasal congestion. (Or an OTC decongestant like Mucinex or pseudoephedrine if it's really bad)
I eat hot and sour soup (helps stuffy nose). To relieve stuffy nose lay down for a minute and then walk around. Kinda bonk your nostrils closing and opening them via the outside of your nose and then the congestion goes away temporarily
i remember having 1 chonk of a bronze corydoras with around 25 balloon mollies that kept breeding out of control 2 loaches that died from the crayfish 1 white crayfish 2 angelfish that died from the crayfish later the crayfish died when he escaped and crawled to the kitchen down the stairs and some how avoided the 6 cats and our dachshund and ended up in the sink i put him back in the tank and a week later he died yes that was my starting tank it was a 10 gallon thank you for teaching me about fish or there would be more abuse down the road
Hot soup, my dude. The hotter, the better. While you eat it, hold it close to your face and breathe in all that steam. A hot shower also works, but it doesn't give the same kind of flavor. And if you are REALLY having problems, swipe a little Mentholatum under your nose. That will DEFINITELY clear the sinuses. Feel better soon Chirs!
Common cold remedies: Before bed Vicks vapor rub on the bottom of your feet, put on socks, then go to sleep. Also to help with the stuffy nose, try that hot & sour soup, or a steaming hot shower.
The first gold fish tank/bowl is as sick as chris.
The owner of the first bowl had a infrared thermometer but didn't have a proper net. How does that happen?
bro rly went real extra with it
Soup soup soup. And also to relieve a noseclog I sometimes put oregano and eucalyptus essential oil in a pan with hot boiled water, and just keep my head over it breathing deeply. Hope it works for you
That lizard must have heard one of those kids cough.
Spicy chop suey and all the soups! mucinex and 7up are the best
Hope you feel better soon!
When I'm sick I just binge watch you tube 😂
boiled ginger Chris, drink the water you use to boil it (minty and hot in the throat lol), I always have it when having colds or cough. works a treat. i do take it purely ginger though, others do put honey or lemon on it. the more ginger the better
Ahh I hate feeling ill like that! Thanks for filming anyway!!
I'm so glad my beta betta joke about Zenos made it. The tank is actually is my first since I was 10 years old, not 10 years old though, haha. It's about 4 months old.
I'm also currently sick and eating instant noodles. It doesn't work. What does work is somewhere between 18 and 478 hours of continuous sleep.
Bro even when ur sick u have something that people lack these days
Humor
My first tank was a five gallon bow front with blue lid, and matching blue gravel, stocked with a single Melanochromis auratus, that yellow cichlid with the black stripe.
When I'm sick I allwhays love warm Ramen
I need a house plant reveal I'm so into house plants and want to see urs NOWWW!!!!
YES! Coming soon to a theatre near you xD
but yes I have something planned
Oh my goodness I have been randomly thinking of smallville so much
LMAO! top shows to stay rent free in my head
The guy I was dating bred shrimp and brought me some for my tank. my betta ate them and I felt really bad. Then we broke up. And I no longer feel bad.
when i’m sick and i struggle breathing i just turn my shower on boiling hot, so you’re more focused on not overheating to death rather than breathing
this is so old, so hopefully you're not still sick 😂 but spicy food can help clear out your sinuses but might not be a great idea depending on how your stomach is doing while being sick.
soup, tea, mashed taters, and tons of ginger are my go-to
Fav Comfort Food- Chicken Soup with lots of veggies and shredded chicken Home Remedy-Put some Vicks Vaporub in boiling hot water and inhale the steam (put a towel around ur head)
I hope you felt better soon, I also crave junk food when I’m sick.
When I'm sick find a hot cup of tea with lemon and honey to be comforting. Feel better soon ❤️
that sounds real good right about now! ty!!
Mentholatum ointment for your nose! Its the best! Heals your ouchi nose and has menthol to open sinuses. Also basic chicken soup, the classic.
I love Mondays because of you Chris. Weekly dose of fish education, and Chirs criticism. 🤗
ramen hits different when youre sick
First of all my home remedy for every cold is honey. Alone or in herbal tea. Honey bee made! None of that man made from sugar garbage. Next I always crave macaroni with milk and parmeson cheese. My Mom always made it for me when I was sick as a kid. Yes I know it sounds odd but it’s my all time fave comfort food. Feel better Chris
ty for suggestions! Ah your comfort food sounds bomb :)
@@FishForThought Yw and ty! Most people look at me like I have two heads when I tell them about my comfort food. Lol
My sneezes sound like coughs too! I have no idea why I sneeze like that but I'm glad it's not just me haha
I have an autoimmune disease that attacks my sinuses, so i deal with this all the time. The best thing to do is sinus rinses. Shirt term, Afrin will unclog your bose in seconds, but you have to be careful because if you overuse it then it becomes addictive and your nose will stay stuffed up without it.
Cant wait until in 3-4 months all my plants are grown
All I want when I'm sick is instant noodles too. Hope you feel better soon.
I have a nasty cold rn too. Try peppermint essential for the stuffy nose. In a diffuser or a wee dab on your nose. Don't get it in your eyes though!
I've just spent the week binge watching 150 FTR videos 🙂
holy cow xD
A 5.5 is tiny, fits on any surface, could be balanced with a single stick in the center without risking cracking or damage, it takes next to nothing to put together, you could do a planted setup in a 5.5 for less than 40 bucks, yet people buy .25 or .35 gallon fish bowls for 30 bucks and put something living inside of there without a second though...
Warm water ( as hot as you can tolerate for drinking) with honey and lemon. The honey and lemon help clear out the throat and the warm water helps break up the nasal congestion. Any warm drink will help really as long as its not super surgery or high in caffine. Also a humidifier usually helps with the congestion.
ty for suggestion! I shall try this
For fixing a cold, try having a super hot bath and then soaking yourself in cold water straight after (garden hose works well). It is extremely good for clearing out fluid and improving your respiratory health.
Green tea with fresh ginger, honey, lemon and a pinch of cayenne
I had 6 corys in a 10 gallon with 2 mollies and a guppy they all do good had no issues now they be moved to my 75 gallon tank and they act the same way they did in the 10
Chris : sick
Repashy : chilling
Millie : also chilling
Me for some reason : this is the best ftr I've seen !
lol
hey thanks LOL
To relieve a stuffed nose, this is gonna sound rlly odd but: Hold your breath and your nose and then run as fast as you can around until you cannot anymore. Your nose will be cleared the next breath you take. Good for occasional congestion relief.
omg LOL I definitely think this will work, I did a few jumping jacks and it already was kinda clear. I'm afraid though if I run as fast as I can without breathing, I might get a fever the next morning LOL
TOTALLY agree about bristlenose plecos. They don't let anyone intercept their food. I've seen mine push away Amanos! LOL
With regards to the head mess - how brave are you? I know you're happy to put ungodly hot stuff in your stomach, but... if you're brave, check out a product called Sinus Plumber. It's a nose spray. Will make your eyeballs feel like they're burning, but it does a really nice job of clearing the sinuses.
Bless you
Also
I drink alot of ginger lemon tea breath in the vapour from it. I tend to eat just soda crackers
ooh yes, ty!
