Any video from you guys is greatly appreciated. Right before this popped up I was feeding green beans to my super red bushy nose tank and some of my Anubias is flowering all because of you and you making me think I could keep live plants.
I have this -> EHEIM Quick Vac Pro Automatic Gravel Cleaner and Sludge Extractor and it works really good on my 75 gallon. Do you know of one that would work in a small 20 g tank?
My roommate and i would do this at Vegas buffets. We each had 5 minutes to create a plate and our friends would vote on the best presentation. We watched too much Top Chef.
Caitlyn is a sweetheart. When I made my pilgrimage to the Co-Op, Caitlyn was working. She let me feed Murphy. :-) I enjoy any video with Dean. He's a treasure trove of knowledge. The moss bridge and the floating moss balls are in one of my tall nano tanks. They are starting to grow fuller. I really like them. I have quite a few nano tanks along with my larger tanks. I enjoy having a mix of tank sizes. Thanks for the video.
The aquarium nazis on reddit would hate you guys telling people about small tanks and fish being okay, but I’m glad to see the pros doing the education rather than some of the snobs on reddit!
Redditors are some of the worst, and most have barely kept a fish for more than a year or two tops. Having a different opinion that doesn't fall in lockstep almost guarantees downvotes, especially on the betta sub.
To be honest I really love the length of this tank. Its not always about how much water is inside, its about how long and wide the tank actually is. Fish mostly go back and forth, not up and down. Yes they do that too but more space like this is just.. more fun. only issue is with plants growing way too fast way too high.
I have a 3 gallon Fluval Spec at my work desk with a single pea puffer, 5 cherry shrimp, and a handful of ramshorns snails. The snails and shrimp eat the algae and the puffer eats the snails. It's pretty self-sufficient.
I’d buy a couple of those 3 gallon tanks. Any good online stores that sell them for a reasonable price? Or maybe the same tank you guys are showing? Great video 👍🏻 😎
Cory please start shipping fish , there are several I want and I'm tired of purchasing fish from my pet stores that are knock knock knocking on heavens door..and they're the good ones! I want some pigmy corydoras 😔😪
Congratulaions Caitlyn! And I love Clifford the Big Red Betta! And also, I think it helps that these 3.5 gallon tanks are long, with greater surface area and a larger footprint for fish territory and exploration. And if you are using hang on back filtration, as opposed to air pumps and sponges, it allows for more space in the aquarium where the agitation from water flow is minimized to help bettas and little fish from living in rough waters and expending too much energy.
Suggestion: Corey--you need some little stools people can pull up to look at fish on the lower levels. I get very frustrated at my LFS when I can't see the fish on the bottom and I don't want to sit on the floor (it's dirty at my LFS). A lot of people with disabilities (and elderly people) are into fish and it's hard for them to get up and down.
I would love to see you guys ACTUALLY do this 3 gallon challenge, and if you have I'm sorry but would love to see the outcome. I'm getting into doing these little "super nano" tanks, and I'd love to see what you've done and what you do to keep it running.
Omg ❤ the nanoscape. I have a 5 gallon nanoscape for my betta, Frederico. Good job Caitlyn. More nano tank content, its awesome. And true you don't save money with nano, its just smaller scale with same and sometimes more expensive price than regular tanks.
@@alexmccaslin4340 yeah, it seems i cant order online through Aquarium Masters. Went to co-op website and i did not find the tank in their inventory. Would love to buy this tank
Oh, its that beautiful shelf tank again! This video might pull me into the "second tank" rabbit hole. :') It just looks so good, without taking up a ton of room.
Dwarf puffers are awesome! I have one in a five gallon next to my bed, he's by far the coolest fish that I've ever owned, and I've kept African cichlids. I feed him frozen blood worms, but I've also had great success feeding him Hikari Vibra Bites. Love your videos, I've learned so much since I started watching your channel. If I ever make it up there, I'll buy you some tacos
This is unusually interesting. Anyone can throw money in a big tank an it can look passable but do do an eye catching job on a small enclosure, well that is a really special ability. Let us have more of these!
I love your shout out to your employee, such a simple thing that probably made her feel so valued! You seem like such a stand up guy in all that you do; between the knowledge and your honest opinions wether you do or don’t make a buck on it. I have never watched a fish channel that wasn’t mostly bettas until yours and you have inspired me so much in the hobby! Thanks for this channel and the time you put into it!!
I’ve been wanting a pea puffer tank for years now. I watched your video and purchased the plants from your store online 😂 in a couple months I’ll finally have my pea puffers !
I think I'm going to have to take a road trip to your store so i can get my hands on some CPD because every store in a 50 mile radius of me don't have them or the sell out the same day they put them up for sale :( also id love to come see your store :)
I instantly thought of a scarlet badis! But personally I would make it a nice shrimp tank with different colored neos, I'd call it the confetti tank llol
Hey Cory would you be willing to share the make/model of that tank and the light/hood that's on it? I was doing an online search and not coming up with much. Most of the ~3 gallon tanks i'm finding are the nano-cube design. Aqueon sells a 2.5 gallon one and i've seen a rimless 3 gallon long but I really want one with the plastic base and rim like you've got here. -Shane
Don George,MY EXACT THOUGHTS! A three elongated G is perfectly fine for a betta. This just proves that you don't need a freaking 10 gallon for one fish. Corey's betta is super healthy and happy.
@@d.r.l.9314 Same. My favorite is when so many of those ranters have kept like one betta for a year or so and think they know more than someone who's kept multiples over many years.
Omg you guys have mentioned every fish I keep in my nano tank Clown killi Cpd Scarlet badis Hasbora Cory's Pgmy Cory's I also keep a lot more as it's a big community nano tank
I like Dean's suggestions with CPDs and blue velvets. I actually have them in a 10g together! I have 5 CPDs(3f/2m), 3 pygmy corys, 2 clown killis, and a dozen blue velvets. If and when I find more clown killis, I'm hoping to add more since the two I have are both males.

Not sure if you can answer this but I am doing a 40g breeder with a few schools of smaller fish. here is my breakdown and wonder what you recommend food wise for all them as a lot I have not had before. 8 Celestrial Pearl Danio, 12 Chili Rasbora, 12 neon Tetra1 10 Rummynose, 5 Featherfin Rainbow, 3 Amano shrimp, 6 cherry shrimp, 2 fiddler crabs, 8-10 Panda cory and 1 Hillstream Loach.
I'd love to come by and get the whole set up and throw in some Celestial Peral Danios! How much do you sell the CPDs for? I'd probably do what Dean recommended of about 6~ more or less.
This is one of my favorite videos and one that I come back to reference from time to time to get ideas and inspiration for one of my tanks; it’s a bookshelf style 6.5-gal, so I LOVE the tiny little 3-gal in this video 😊
I was there a couple weeks ago. Ohhh how I missed the Co-op! Once this virus blow-over i'll visit again. Thanks for another educational vid. Cory and Dean!
Love how passionate you guys are about the hobby 👍 think this video will help out a lot of newbies to the hobby who can't justify starting out with a large aquarium, but still want schooling fish, probably worth going for a 10 gallon for a little more flexibility but still goes to show that you can get nano fish in a tank as small as a 3 gallon 👌
I need to move to a lodge for my health and I can keep a fish tank in my room but it has to be under 5 gallons I have. 3.5 gallon planted aquarium with one orange Sakura shrimp. At 10 dollars each I have had to save up for the next 4 shrimp. Next month I hope to get 5 more shrimp and 1 nerite snail.
For f*** sake man, buy a lapel microphone for each of you, i really like your content, an watch for a few years now, but those videos you guys do, when u're apart, or away from the camera, the audio suck so bad....
Me : watching a video on bigginer plants for the 50th time They : rcomends anubias and java moss Me : I need more plants are they the only plants in the world
is a 55 gal also a nano tank as i have only small fish and ghost shrimp in it? as in neon tetra's, guppy's, molly's, platy's, swordtail's, oto's, cory dora's, and mystery snails in there.
Another great vid Cory! Happy to see that the staff was able to keep the kokedama I made as a gift for being so kind and cool. With the quarantine I haven’t been able to make it in and check on it and see how the staff is doing, but I hope all it well!
I love CPDs! People talk about them being shy, that is not the case for me. And they have bred for me too which is always a bonus. Anyway, on with the rest of the video...

I thought it was a 20 long tank
This is funny - I just ordered some Amano shrimp from them a few days ago.
Aquarium Co-Op How can those of us in WA State get fish from them?
Just ordered some African dwarf frogs from them with your code 😊
Hey! I've been there and I wanted to meet you, but you weren't there, but I still loved it! All the way from Seattle! Love your videos
Im absolutely stunned at how that 3 gallon looks bigger than my 5 gallon tank. Huge props to her
it looks like he took my 3 gallon cube and bought another one and stuck it together😭it cant be a 3 gallon it just looks to big🤣
Any video from you guys is greatly appreciated. Right before this popped up I was feeding green beans to my super red bushy nose tank and some of my Anubias is flowering all because of you and you making me think I could keep live plants.
Wow great information
what is the name of the floating plant in the 3 gallon tank. Great video guys. Congratulations to the Master Horticulturist!
Ditto!
Dwarf water lettuce, and thank you :)
I have this -> EHEIM Quick Vac Pro Automatic Gravel Cleaner and Sludge Extractor and it works really good on my 75 gallon. Do you know of one that would work in a small 20 g tank?
Python mini gravel vac
@@Larki13 that is a siphon - I am looking for a sludge remover
You should make a competition. You both have a 3 gallon tank, and you scape it like you want, and rate each others. That would be a good video :)
Dean's would be a spotless bare bottom tank with a sponge filter lol
@@frickbot dont forget the tiles!
My roommate and i would do this at Vegas buffets. We each had 5 minutes to create a plate and our friends would vote on the best presentation. We watched too much Top Chef.
You guys need to post info on how to get those 3 gallon tanks. A ton of people want to know and can’t find them.
Why does my 8.5 gallon tank seem smaller than that 3 gallon?! Maybe just the angle from the vidro
I know that tank looks like an 8 gallon
I was thinking the same thing about my 7.3 gallon. I think that's because those 3 gallon are narrow tanks.
It looks smaller in person
It’s probably a 3 gallon long and your tank might be a wide that’s how it looks bigger but the height is smaller
Where can I get that 3 gallon tank?
I would definitely get a microphone for Dean.
Caitlyn is a sweetheart. When I made my pilgrimage to the Co-Op, Caitlyn was working. She let me feed Murphy. :-) I enjoy any video with Dean. He's a treasure trove of knowledge.

Another video co-op between Cory and Dean? Yes, this is quarantining at its fishiest!
tony lavine Ah yes
Confession: I keep Aquarium Co-op on all day and listen to Cory educate me about fish and plants while I work. I've learned SO much by doing this!
To be honest I really love the length of this tank. Its not always about how much water is inside, its about how long and wide the tank actually is. Fish mostly go back and forth, not up and down.

Dawson Horne I want to know this as well
me too
Me three! ;-) I have not seen the 3 gallon available from the distributors of my LFS.
Cory please start shipping fish , there are several I want and I'm tired of purchasing fish from my pet stores that are knock knock knocking on heavens door..and they're the good ones! I want some pigmy corydoras 😔😪
Where could I find such an aquarium online?

Congratulations Caitlyn! Could she do some videos demonstrating her plant or mini scaping knowledge & skills?
A little Cory and Dean make hunkering down not so boring. Thanks guys!
Great video like always 😎👍🏻 I would probably choose green neon tetras and some shrimp 🙂
Just got my plants and ferts yesterday! Packaging was above what I expected! Plants were great! And the vallisneria already had a runner.

Thanks for this guys... I am having anxiety about what's going on in the world and my fish help with that. Thanks for the calming distraction.

The 3 gallon and betta racks were the first thing to catch my eye the first time I visited

Pretty rare for that shape and size 3gal. I got lucky a few years ago and found one on the Facebook marketplace.
what 3G aquarium is that please? does Aquarium Co-op sell these?

Really happy with the comments. I figured they'd be rants about how you shouldn't keep a betta in less than 15 gallons!
Don George
15?! If it’s smaller than a 120 it’s not enough! Jk.
Don George,MY EXACT THOUGHTS! A three elongated G is perfectly fine for a betta. This just proves that you don't need a freaking 10 gallon for one fish. Corey's betta is super healthy and happy.
I hate posting to aquarium forums because of those rants you speak of. By the way, a single betta needs a backyard pond!
@@d.r.l.9314 Same. My favorite is when so many of those ranters have kept like one betta for a year or so and think they know more than someone who's kept multiples over many years.
Don George I was expecting angry comments on how he would fit 9 fish and a handful of shrimp in that 3 gallon.
Do you heat the little 3 gallon tank?
Didn’t katelyns tank used to have an alien betta? Also, there’s too many ways to spell caitlyn lol
Any idea for 2 gallons

Hi folks
Wonder if you can help
Looking for ideas for my 5 gallon but most places saying its to small
I don't want a beta or a snail

That is an interesting tank. I've never seen a 3 gallon long tank before
A year later I still can't find one of these tanks. So bummed.
how often and how big are the water changes for this 3 gallon?
Great idea... can you share what plants you have in that 3 gallon with the Betta.
Did he say 8 fish and some shrimp in a 3 gallon? Im so confused.
what are the plants at the back of clifford’s tank?
