Once my white clouds were grown and part of a healthy school I was glad I had a 55 for them. They are live in streams in their native environment, and loved swimming against the water flow ad racing through the tank. Not sure I would be comfortable keeping them in a short little tank knowing all that
So any tips to breed pea puffers? I got 3 females and 1 male and had them for about almost 2 years they r fully adult the tank is a 10 gallon with plants but it's not fully a forest. Any tips on how to encourage breeding? Thx (:
@@jaxxonfishroom males r more yellow with stripes on the eyes while females r more dull colored and no stripes on the eyes. Just a tip for gendering your peas
@@RaptorRockDrakeJesus I just let em go, and once it was a super jungle, I started seeing fry... I wasn't really trying, but now they keep making more...

Has Aquarium Co-Op ever made a video on Importing Aquarium fish/ shrimp in to the USA? im considering spending thousands on rare caridina from the breeder of strain origin however not being familiar with the import process is preventing me from moving forward.. curious if you have already made a video or can make one.. im thinking ill review the views of Cory and Dean going to South America and if the speak of import process there..
I absolutely how much information you put into your videos! Thank you so very much for all you do! Have an amazing 2023 and I look forward to lots more of your videos
Scarlet badis is my no. 1. They are very fun little fishes I have 4(1male 3females) in my 20 gallon with other community fish. He used to be pretty shy to the point I decided to give him to a nano tank owner but in 2months he put on a bit more size, coloured up and became very outgoing. So I decided to get him 3 females and now all he does is eat and guard his harem from every other fish😂. He usually stays with his family in the giant Java fern I have in the back of my tank
@@sarahdumais5998 Oh they are native where I live. U should try looking in aquarium groups or local groups I've seen a lot of people from both USA and UK having the females
@@SquirrilahFish They love eating live food. I usually drop their food on the giant Java fern where they usually are, so they'll be able to locate. They are extremely shy the first few days or even a week or two so u'll have to look for them and drop food near them but once they get used to it they'll be up and front
I have a school of 15 pea puffers in a 29 gallon all living peacefully. If you get a group of 6+ the aggression is spread and they develop a pecking order and live pretty peacefully together a few weeks after developing the pecking order.
Great ideas!! I have 4 Pea Puffers in a heavily planted tank and so far it's worked great, fingers crossed. I also have another 10 gallon with 7 CPD's, a Honey Gourami and Clown Pleco.
Im setting up a 20g long planted tank. Ive narrowed the fish down to either green kubotai's or threadfin rainbows. Which do you think would do bestvin a 20g long?
I've gotten lucky and gotten plenty of female scarlet badis! I've successfully bred them. Its really easy and they do an embrace VERY similar to betta fish
I love your videos and I’ve learned a lot, especially since I’m new to this hobby. I have a 4-5 inch western painted turtle in a 75 gallon tank and would love to add some fish. What tank mates would you recommend that would have a decent chance of not being eaten?
My wcmm are now about 3 inches long and I have just given about 50-60 fry to my local fish store. Now the temperature has dropped they are not so ready to breed!
Great video Zenzo what a awesome fish den you have! the thumbnail is cool because I use a magnifying glass all the time for my tanks, I have fish tank videos on my page if anyone is interested.
And 7 US dollars in America. Definitely going to give those a miss. I think it's funny or silly that we desire things that are from other countries so much. We have lots of stunning fish here. Hey not having a go at you at all mate.
they are a shoaling fish actually, its my one gripe with the co-ops vids, look up any video of peas in the wild and you'll see em shoaling in groups of at least 20 or more, they r a prey fish in their ecosystem and thus find refuge in numbers and exhibit social behaviours.
They are a sort of schooling fish unfortunately :( The right word would be shoaling, but they need to be in groups of 3-4+ with an aquarium 10 gallons or more. This information is fairly new so not everyone knows about it
my pea puffer won't eat anything but snails and it's so hard for me to find some near me, even by searching on kijiji marketplace etc. Except pet store selling like 1 ramshorn for 5 bucks which is completely insane. I don't know how to make her love frozen bloodworms or other stuff, don't want it at all and I have her for months now. Tried oyster, mussels, canned snails, frozen bloodworm, frozen black worm, bugs that I catch for my betta, flakes, pellets, frozen brine shrimp.. don't know what to try anymore
Get a bin, fill it with dechlorinated water and put some pest snails in. Don't feed those snails though, let them reproduce and in a couple of weeks you'll have lots! Just make sure to feed boiled veggies like spinach
I have an 8 gallon bowl but it’s on a dresser with a giant trifold mirror on it. I was going to do just shrimp, but does anyone have a suggestion of a tiny fish that maybe can’t see very well, or wouldn’t mind seeing warped illusions of itself everywhere? I am fine with just shrimp.
Pea puffers $15 😂 you guys in the US are so lucky in Australia they’re about $80 each 50 if you’re lucky about a year ago they used to be $200 each. We can’t get them imported.
All great suggestions, But no one carries any of these fish. I called 3 big aquarium stores and no one even carried 1 of these. Such a disappointment seeing these lovely fish that you can't get.

Yeah usually I hear 20 gallon longs recommended for white clouds
I'm breeding with three pea puffers in a ten gallon, it's a JUNGLE...! So far, so good...! Keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...!
I had a group of pea puffers it was going great then they all started dying off for some reason. I have one left in with some Amazon puffers now
So any tips to breed pea puffers? I got 3 females and 1 male and had them for about almost 2 years they r fully adult the tank is a 10 gallon with plants but it's not fully a forest. Any tips on how to encourage breeding? Thx (:
That's awesome, I have a male and female pea puffer in my fish room

Man I haven’t seen normal white clouds in forever, I forget how beautiful they are!
For anyone considering green neons, make sure you have a heavily planted tank since they're quite skittish! Gorgeous fish though
agreed. my 7 were shy and always hid in the plants until they passed away from an illness
Yep most are wild caught. Probably not used to humans looking at them
Great information! I love seeing other members of the ACO team in videos.

Where did you get females? They are impossible to find here.
@@sarahdumais5998 Oh they are native where I live. U should try looking in aquarium groups or local groups I've seen a lot of people from both USA and UK having the females
How do you fead them? I've had two of them at different times. Both died after a couple months because they wouldn't eat anything.
@@SquirrilahFish They love eating live food. I usually drop their food on the giant Java fern where they usually are, so they'll be able to locate.

@@SquirrilahFish I had to hatch live baby brine for mine. He wouldn’t eat anything frozen or flake.
So glad to see at least one killifish on the list! They are awesome fish!
I have a school of 15 pea puffers in a 29 gallon all living peacefully. If you get a group of 6+ the aggression is spread and they develop a pecking order and live pretty peacefully together a few weeks after developing the pecking order.
This is my list:
Pygmy corydoras, endlers,normans lampeye killifish, celestial pearl danios and dwarf medakas.
Omg. I never knew about dwarf ricefish. I am in love. ♥️ Thanks!
Just started a shrimp colony, definitely looking into nano fish for a small school for more movement in the tank
Endlers are great for this! Rarely will prey on shrimplets
Great ideas!! I have 4 Pea Puffers in a heavily planted tank and so far it's worked great, fingers crossed. I also have another 10 gallon with 7 CPD's, a Honey Gourami and Clown Pleco.
Excellent list! My personal favorites are the Chili Rasbora, CPD's, and Borneo Sucker Loaches which are the smaller of the Hillstream Loach variety.
Perfect timing! I’m looking to start a nice planted nano tank.
Elassoma gilberti is a wonderful nano fish with beautiful colors. The dwarf sunfish males are black with electric blue.
This is my list:
Pygmy corydoras, endlers,normans lampeye killifish, celestial pearl danios and Betta marginata
My chili rasboras are my favorite fish….. shhhhhh don’t tell my other fish 😂
Great video and information, I been doing a tank of Endlers, ramshorn snails and cherry shrimp in my nano tank
I love my endlers. I put 2 males and 4 females in my 10 gallon about a month ago. I now have close to 50 fry 🤯 gonna have to re-home some haha
@@Tom_H694 nice lol I'd take some
I can’t wait to build my nano fish tank. Thanx for the video!
Loved the video!
Very informative and some very high quality footage to show the beautiful color and fascinating behavior of the fish species shown
But what temperature should I keep my white clouds at?
Lol
@@DB-ek5kd lol
69.3 degrees. keep them under 80, they arent picky.
I just wanted to make sure everyone heard me…twice 😅
@@TazawaTanks I started to think I was going insane 😂😂😂
One pea puffer fish has a heart shape in video.
I personally love Pseudomugil sp. (neon blue eye rainbowfish). There are several species for a ton of different water parameters.
Great list for nano tanks. Thanks, Zenzo.
👍❤️👍
my favorite are honey gourami and endlers and of course betta fish
I really like the stiphodon gobbies and other micro gobies.
I just got some Scarlet Badis & I have to say it is awesome watching them hunt
Im setting up a 20g long planted tank. Ive narrowed the fish down to either green kubotai's or threadfin rainbows. Which do you think would do bestvin a 20g long?
I have 2 pea puffers in a 6gallon tank. With lots of live plants! They haven’t fought at all
Whoever edited this needs to rewatch it😂😂
Great videos as usual. Thanks!
Palladium is a great 3 puffer house… 10 gallons water … lost of hiding and wood pieces and tunnels…
Japanese rice fish are my new nano go too :)
Nice!! Please advise what is the food that is pressed on the glass for the tetra ?
I've gotten lucky and gotten plenty of female scarlet badis! I've successfully bred them. Its really easy and they do an embrace VERY similar to betta fish
I think the info about the white clouds was repeated, other than that, great list with beautiful fish
Celestial Pearl danio, emerald green danio, bluefin notho, orchid nothobranch
I love your videos and I’ve learned a lot, especially since I’m new to this hobby. I have a 4-5 inch western painted turtle in a 75 gallon tank and would love to add some fish. What tank mates would you recommend that would have a decent chance of not being eaten?
Live my cherry barbs. Super forgiving fish that breeds readily. Had to separated my boys and girls they are like bunnies.
I had a cherry barb live almost 9 years! The little group did produce a baby at one point lol. Great little fish.
love this episode
I'd love Pea Puffers but here in Australia they're $200AUD+ each!
I've never been able to keep a Badis alive for very long. They're so hard to feed.
I love WCMM's
I've also been a big fan of the Pygmy gourami.
Male Endlers, Medaka (ricefish), WCMM's (are awesome), Ottos, and Chilli Rasbora.
Can I keep white clouds with betta?. In my 10g . My betta is not aggressive
My wcmm are now about 3 inches long and I have just given about 50-60 fry to my local fish store. Now the temperature has dropped they are not so ready to breed!
if only pea puffers were that cheap here in australia. here they are closer to $150!
Pea puffer pick at other fished fins though so idk if they are good to stay with other fish
Very helpful video 👍 ❗️
Great video Zenzo what a awesome fish den you have! the thumbnail is cool because I use a magnifying glass all the time for my tanks, I have fish tank videos on my page if anyone is interested.
There's a repeated section about the white clouds water parameters.
Great video. Lucky Pea puffers aren’t a schooling fish, they are $150-$200 in Australia
And 7 US dollars in America. Definitely going to give those a miss. I think it's funny or silly that we desire things that are from other countries so much. We have lots of stunning fish here. Hey not having a go at you at all mate.

What is the best shelving unit to buy for 3 5GL tanks?
Pea puffers are classified as vulnerable due to overfishing.
In Australia pea puffers are $200-$250+
Ouch. Hopefully someone figures out to breed them there.
Pea Puffers are worth $150 in Australia
Bro endlers how can you forget them
Nice video
What fish can I put in a 2.6 gallon fish tank??
The white cloud info kept repeating fyi
my pea puffer won't eat anything but snails and it's so hard for me to find some near me, even by searching on kijiji marketplace etc. Except pet store selling like 1 ramshorn for 5 bucks which is completely insane. I don't know how to make her love frozen bloodworms or other stuff, don't want it at all and I have her for months now. Tried oyster, mussels, canned snails, frozen bloodworm, frozen black worm, bugs that I catch for my betta, flakes, pellets, frozen brine shrimp.. don't know what to try anymore
might sound dumb but have you tried mealworms?
Another small tank to breed bladder snails would work
Get a bin, fill it with dechlorinated water and put some pest snails in. Don't feed those snails though, let them reproduce and in a couple of weeks you'll have lots! Just make sure to feed boiled veggies like spinach
never had any luck with badis think my water is to hard for them
Is he just reading the Aquarium Co-op fish articles online 💀💀

The Badis Badis, or Blue Badis is much nicer than the Dario Dario.
Pea puffers $15 😂 you guys in the US are so lucky in Australia they’re about $80 each 50 if you’re lucky about a year ago they used to be $200 each. We can’t get them imported.
what is that brown fish at 9 seconds
indostomus aka crocodile stickleback
Endler guppy
I Nissan Cory but ur cool too bro lol
African dwarf frogs.
Anyone know what fish is at 9 seconds
Just me, or did he say the same things a few times for the same fish?
A gupph shoukd be fine
👍👍👍
👍👍👍
Who you calling Nano 🥊
what fish is that 9 seconds into the video
either indostomus paradoxus or indostomus crocodilus
👍🏻👍🏻
The blatant reupload from your channel 😂
Doing my research and ended up watching the same thing twice over lol
All great suggestions, But no one carries any of these fish. I called 3 big aquarium stores and no one even carried 1 of these. Such a disappointment seeing these lovely fish that you can't get.
There might be breeders in your area or you can order online
Make sure you're going to speciality stores. Not franchises like PetSmart or Petco
💕👍
😀😀😀
where is the metric unites? we don't all live in a backwards country stuck in the past ;)
Google is your friend ;)
Scarlett Battist looks like a little Cichlid
Nice video
