It's great that you're giving some love to Mollies. I've been keeping fish for 30 years and kept so many different fish over those years from Discus to puffers but I've always kept a tank of mollies. They eat out of my hand, they are always pleased to see me and as tame and friendly as any fish I've kept. I can cup my hand in their tank and they'll line up and fight to be the one to jump in my hand and interact with me. Guppies, swordtails and platies get loads of attention on UA-cam compared to mollies and although I do keep guppies as well, for me mollies are a big step above in personality. My favorites are the dalmation lyretail and I have some that are more black than white which have a kind of dragon scale which are stunning.
Feels great to see the old tried and true format. I will watch these over and over for some reason.
Mollies are awesome. The Black mollies are my favorite because they can be put in salt water and their color tend to pop even more when they are in salt water. They were my first " Sort of " salt water fish I got in September 1976.
We moved from Virginia to North Dakota ourselves and I gave away my fish before we left. I'm glad I did too as it's all about the water. Now I have my 55 set up as a heavily planted angel tank.
About the suggestion of putting 50 Corys in a 150 gallons, I must admit if not Corys I'd actually put 50 small schooling fish in it... I love them that much.
I would love to have Discus, but I can literally not afford them, around here you’re looking at $65-$80 for tank raised and well over $100 for wild caught per fish.
That’s the price everywhere for them. They are expensive took me 3 years to save up for mine but well worth it and the wait!
Where are you located?
Got mine for a steal. Wild caught tefe green discus around 3.5in for $10ea
DISCUS ARE PROBABLY MY FAVOURITE FRESHWATER FISH, HOWEVER ID NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP THEM BECAUSE I COULDNT GET A TANK BIG ENOUGH, IF I EVER DID ID CERTAINLY KEEP THEM 😊
@@jaymeloy1984 I find really good deals on my local resale apps and sites.
I've recently upgraded up to a 29 gallon here in the UK that's about 110litres, so far got 1 bristle nose, neon tetras, dalmatian mollies, guppies, black skirt tetras and some ramshorn snails next on the list I think will be some honey gouramis
Oh Lisa my heart breaks for you. Your discus were the most beautiful I loved when you added tetras they looked amazing in the black water. I cry over losing guppies I couldn’t imagine beautiful expensive discus. I am truly sorry. Now that John has RO water perhaps when you are ready you can have discus again.
I would keep Zebra Danios in at least a 15 gallon tank, or 20 gallon going standard sizes.
They are hardy and absolutely survive in a 10 gallon, but it's very limited with their energy and swimming speed.
Keep them in a 20 gallong for the same reason you keep Comet goldfish in something bigger than a 75 gallon.
And I think it's a good thing the Oscar was bumped to the 150 gallon tank size, 125 is ok for a single one, but they really shine in a bigger tank... preferrably even a 180 or larger!
Nice video Love the Video Idea ❤
8:12 As a proud Dalmation Molly owner, I totally endorse this statement! They are active, curious, and very eye catching day and night (they look great under the blue light!) they are in a 30 gallon too, it fits!
Hmmm... I'd have to disagree on a 10 gallon for zebra danios. I don't think anything smaller than a 20 long personally. They're so high activity a 10 seems a little too small imho.
It looks too hectic
Great video guys!
Love this channel I have been binge watching videos for the last few days while cycling my first betta tank
I like 10 gallon for planted shrimp tank.
55-75 gallon for angelfish community tank with tetras
When angels get in the breeding mood that’s when the 20 gallon come into play.
I have mystery snails and green fire tetras (Aphyocharax rathbuni), and the males have silver tips on fins and tail, with a partial streak of red. They can look really dull at the store but they shine in a planted tank with a dark background and substrate! And mystery snails are charming and hilarious. I never expected to fall in love with snails. They are my sworn enemy in the garden. But these guys just jump off the tank walls and go "parasnailing" with their foot as a parachute, floating back down. 2 of mine figured out that if they let go in a bubble column, they can get shot up to the top and THEN parachute down. They seem to like to be around each other, too. Surprisingly adorable for creatures who only have primitive brains.
Also 9:31 that’s what she said
Yeaaa at no point did I think you were going to say anything but Oscars. You are the reason I am saving to buy a 300 gallon with sump from Customer Aquariums and putting like three in it. I’ve even pick out the three lol. It’s going to be my new center piece after we move from PA to Delaware after my oldest graduates high school
Only if I could show you guys, I just don’t have the stamina to deal with people dipping their hands in my aquariums. I move things according to size temperament and compatibility and I have to admit, I don’t wanna be a typical fish keeper and I don’t want to be problem case either, I literally watch my tanks everyday like it was the news I can tell you when it’s time and I got an answer for them whether it be here or at my shop. I might be alone in my thinking but I’m not giving up just because things get hard. I have learned too much and see that the tanks other people have just don’t interest me. But I’m out what ever I posted is gone and has been replaced and or is waiting to be moved in a month or 2 to a pond. And you would hate my page but I didn’t put it there for that reason, I’m showing what I’m doing that is all
I love those big Oscars too!
My favorite combo of fish is rainbows and angels in planted tank. I got a 75 gallon tank with 21 rainbows, of different species, 6 Congos and 4 angels. with a good filter and weekly water changes, it’s definitely a stunning tank.
55 with Angels and Tetras…. It took me 3 years, but that is what I have… finally 🎉 … full with live plants, a massive canister and in-line heater… love it!!!
Lisa’s eye! 😍😍😍
I like this fresh new approach to your content. Glad you’re back at it in this new way!
Great video!
ya all are awesome!!! thanks for all ya doooo ;]
I knew you would say Oscars!! I want to get Oscars one day when I get an 100+ aquarium tank.
Nice video John. I got oscars in a 400 gallon with some other south and Central American cichlids. I think u will be happy about this cause I got them in a big tank
Newer to the hobby and starting to setup a 29 gallon... with something like Mollies having babies, do they overload the tank at some point? How do you regulate that? Do they just self regulate over time?
Nice list
I like goldfish, but I can’t do fancy goldfish; they’re intentionally bred for deformity. They’re the bulldogs and pugs of the goldfish world.
Ain’t no party like a Danio party because the Danio party don’t stop!
And platies are awesome!
Platies are definitely awesome 😊
Great video. Can you make a video about a wild betta?
Mollies would be better off in a 40br, which you should have included. Many more 40s than 150s around. IMHO. Lisa, there's a bald headed paisan in your local club named Paul Sotero. If you want to work with discus again, he does pretty well with them. It's not the water..
*Sees title*👀ohhhhh this is going to be good 👏🏽
I like goldfish I think they are amazing
Lisa, sorry to hear about your discus. Perhaps you could find some local that are kept in your same water that doesn't alter the pH and just use tap water. That is what I did since my tap water is a pH of 8.0. This is the first time I've kept Discus.
We love u LISA❤ I love betta sororities too
We want to see a fish room tour!
Wow!
You make waaay to big jumps between sizes. What about tanks between 30 and fifty?
I keep my goldfish in ponds. Yes I have multiple large ponds in my garden
I'm always happy to see goldfish being treated well!
Love Rummy Nose! BUT I can’t keep them alive. Are they commonly considered difficult? Over a couple years I’ve probably bought 25, currently three are still there. Haven’t had problems either any other fish.
I have a 200 l tank with loads of platys and mollys. I think they are wonderful fish
I don't know if you'll get this but I have a question about oscar fish I'm hoping you can answer. I'm setting up a 100 gallon aquarium for my albino oscar with a male convict and firemouth. In that set up could I keep one more oscar and shoot for a pair or is that too small. Thanks for any help and I appreciate your channel so much :) blessings
100 gallon is definitely big enough for one Oscar I probably wouldnt push 2. I believe convicts prefer being in pairs, and if I don’t stand corrected so do firemouths.
The one molly I want to get is the sailfin molly (Poecilia latipinna)
Does anyone know if putting a larger tank in a garage that stays normally 70 degrees F in the winter, but in the summer it may get 90 degrees F in the summer a bad idea? I was not sure how much the water temp would change in a warmer environment during summer months…
Would depend on species your trying to keep.
My new love Killifish
Wonderful video!
I have the most amazing Jaguar and fire ell with a parrot - and a Kingu plec. They will be fine.
Sorry Lisa to hear about your Discus. Maybe it was a mix of water and high temps.
can you PAINT the Snails ? Glue things to them ?
Girlie size! Why you! 😆🥰
I have 7 Gouramis, 10 Albino Cherry Barbs, and a Bristlenose Pleco in my 54 gallon aquarium.
Lisa I know you got some new Discus that had not been in your old water. Maybe too much heat caused them stress?
Could I run a 75 tang community tank on just two large sponge filters and no canister filter?
I bought some calico plates and now have 2 tanks with them😂 thankfully I have a neighbor that took some and the aquarium store I bought them from will take some back for store credit👍
I prefer Tetras for any tank especially those under 100 gallons. Neon Tetras, Black Tetras, Cardinal Tetras, Sepia Tetras, Silver Tip Tetras and Glow light Tetras. For Tanks 50 or over its Angle Fish and Gouramis. For 100 and over It is lots of Angel Fish of different species.
What would you put in a 4 ft by 4ft by roughly 30” high aquarium? 😊
Keep an angelfish with your mollies if you’re worried about a population boom.
Rummy Nose Tetras can be housed in a smaller tank than a 55 gallon.
You would love it I have a female Parrot Red Devil Complex 13 Inches vs My Jaguaur vs my Fire Eel full grown. What do you do with that and they live together.
What's your view on blue crayfish as tank mates
They are beautiful. I love them so much but they are not for planted aquarium 😔😔😔
So I have a 55 gallon corner tank. I had one common gold fish and bunch of other fish and they did fine. I have to relocate the fish because I was going to gone for a while. So my question can I keep goldfish in a 55 and if yes what type? Thanks
Gold fish can of course thrive in a 55 gallon. Just need to make sure that the filtration is apt. I had three fancy gold fishes in a 55 gallon earlier.
Maybe next week........well finally see Lisa's huge cube tank ..... I've been waiting to see what she gonna do with that tank......⏳⌛⏳⌛....still waiting 😁
Hey john what about 4 electric blue Acura in a 55 gallon what do you think,, i mean if you have a pair omg they breed like crazy. But 4 in a 55 gallon aquarium
9:38
You should buy your fish small if possible.
Could you please also use the litters for the non-US audience?
I had angels, rummy nose and X-ray tetra in a 75g. I lost one of the 2 angels so I gave the other to my sister. I’m planning on moving the tetra to a 60g cube I just finished setting up and putting yellow labs in the 75g.
i have angels and discus in a 125 gallon 6 angels and 6 discus. i want to get more discus
How often should I bathe my fish and what kind of soap should I use😛
Zebra danios give me anxiety lol. The only fish I’ve ever taken back to the store are zebra danios. They have zero chill. 😅
you r so underated
At one time I had a dojo fish with goldfish in a 55 gallon but I had to move and gave away my tank with the fish I wish I could have another fish tank
Mollies, buy two, end up with hundreds. :) Nice list and some fish I did not consider.
Not Silver Tips…. 😂 Great list.
Hahaha...that's for you 🤣
(Lisa)
Zebras need a 20 long to really swim or it looks too hectic
I love my zebras. I put them in a 20 long. Zoom zoom
Would love a Oscar. But my house can’t support the tank size. They are amazing
What no paradise fish?
No 60 gallon?
I'm surprised you didn't say anything about a 2.5 which is the size I had. Don't most people start with a 2.5? :)
hello
I will never do gold fish in an aquarium again. My 75 is stocked with my angelfish and discus with some tetras and bottom dwellers
Goldfish are *dirty*
What tank size should I have to keep 5 Oscar’s?
bro i have a 40 gallon that im going to get angels in is that okay
Click where? :)
A list is never complete until oscars are on it. Even grocers.... whoa whoa whoa... you get my point.
early
5 is too small for chili rasboras. 10 is WAY too small for zebra danios.
I would never get zebra Danielles ever again, that was a horrible fish for me😅
Fancy goldfish are the one type of fish I can't stand. I just hate how they behave and look.
OK let's try this hmm OK it works but can't even say hello in the live hmmm intresting all I'm going to say
Ya thats weird. You should be able to comment in both or none at all.
@@KGTropicals yep as I'm the uk I don't make lives that often so it's special to me when I do
A girly size tank? Pfft
I'm so confused by John calling 5g a girly sized tank? What does that even mean???
"girly sized tank"? yikes
