Happy FFTday everyone!! Sparkling Gourami. I love them. I have 3 right now. When they are fired up they are stunning! I really love me a Croaking Gourami too. When you hear them croak it is so neat!!
getting back into the hobby donating leftover fish to my lfs and rescaping the whole tank. spent my life savings to get this 36 gallon tank some fluval stratum and a sweet piece of spider wood but Im hoping its not in vain. I expect to get it set up this weekend and maybe when I get it stocked it will reappear in a fish tank review...
My favorite gourami are croaking gourami. I currently have hundreds of varying ages because my dominant male put all his croaking stats in charisma. Despite my requests for him to chill, his croaking stops for no one.
I got more plants for my 10 gallon today! I found a new pet store to go to, I was so happy it's weird to be excited to find and buy 4 different plants for under $15. My Betta girl has moved into her 10 gallon and she chunk. My boy is Fine Boi.
wednesday = bergfest (german, literal translation is "mountain party") - meaning you have climbed the mountain to the top and are now going down again (towards the weekend) often enough you get to hang out and drink and have a good time in the evening of wednesdays celebrating the bergfest
This week is a 2 in one qotw,because I see up my first planted fish tank!and I definitely gotta say that the plants are the best. And I love honey Guramis.
QOTW: Liquorice Gouramis, they're so beautiful and you really don't get to see them very often. (My FFT Hoodie turned up recently and it's already my favourite hoodie I own. The fabric is so soft but also feels durable, plus the print on it isn't the kind that starts peeling off after a few washes. 10/10 gunna grab another design at some point.)
I was robbed a few times in Orlando… they kicked a hole in my closet wall from an empty apartment next door & stole all my son’s game systems/games, our electronics, his laptop that he was awarded for being valedictorian & getting a college scholarship, my phone, his college books even… our bicycles, TV- EVERYTHING 😪💔 the police wouldn’t do anything they said how do we know you didn’t trade it for crack? Ummm… 😪💔 broke my heart so bad for my son… he hated the world after that… I was very angry for him & I realized things can be stolen because ours were stolen so many times… so I resigned myself to having nothing & just making sure we each had a decent phone (I could barely afford to live & buy food as a single mom) the world is a cruel place… I am just thankful my son is alive & me too because I was attacked, strangled, etc in Orlando… being poor the police treat you very badly because they can. Your insurance will fix you up- just remember things are meaningless- it’s people that truly matter
sorry to hear that and thanks for sharing. You are 100% right, and even though I am still quite young and don't have a child myself yet, I try to remember material things do not matter
I used to raise Dwarf Gouramis. I thought they had beautiful coloring. It was the best time. I'm sorry you lost so many wonderful things. I moved one time, the person I was staying with let me put my overflow things in his storage unit. He didn't tell me he was behind in payments, so when he told the people my belongings were in the unit, they went in and took all my stuff and left his. Never got over that. Loss can be hard but some how we can move forward. Today I was the first here, I really enjoy all that you share.
10:31 The day I learned that the snails have eyes: I was swimming at the beach and found a conch once, only once! I was excited to finally have a shell like that, but I turned it over and saw an eyeball staring at me 😂 disappoint. but I did throw it back
One of my betta fish is definitely nearing "oh lawd he comin'" territory. I'm gonna have to put him in a tank with no shrimp at all, I think, bro's feasting in there
I saw an almost grown bristlenose pleco not moving in the bubbles in a fish store, went back to that tank 10 minutes later, he was in the bubbles in the other side 😭😭
Bruh nahhhh if you leave a perfectly good tank outside amongst other garbage you bet your biscuit I'm nabbing that thing 😂 I actually once got a really nice 30 gallon that was left outside a neighbours house, since they lived only a few doors down I did knock and they told me I was free to take it, it had a crack in the bottom which is why they tossed it but it made a very nice mouse enclosure!
Definitely! In my area it's common to leave stuff you don't want out on the curb. The unwritten message is that they want you to take it so they don't have to take it to the tip
Love the rainbow and sparkling variety! Although I've only ever owned neon blue myself. They just don't live very long😢Some of my Cory gang are 16 years old!
For piranha, they and other similar fish like silver dollars and pacus were once in Family Characidae with tetra before being moved to their own Family Serrasalmidae. As for gourami, the one that left an impression to me is giant gourami (Osphronemus goramy) I was in very large setting (the giant educational one)
8:29 is a loach! Im thinking Homaloptera or Vanmanenia genus (i have Vanmanenias, not that species tho) Also, the Gold Gourami is the Superior gourami.
So late but im catching up, for the algorithm! QOTW: Easily Pearl Guarami, these guys get slept on. I just love their coloration, that sparkly circular gradient is so fine and that beautiful black stripe, with that nice pop of orange near the pectoral fin/gills. Cant beat them imo.
Chocolate gourami's are definitly a species I want to keep in the future. I don't know if they are included (they are labyrinthfish) but I also do love dwarf snakeheads like channa bleheri. But at the moment the only gourami I keep is a female three spot gourami that's uncharacteristically sweet for her species.
Yes Chris suffers for us, that's why he's. The. Best. Ever. Ahoy hoy and welcome to this week's best moments. Remember, you can come back and rewatch if you're feeling FTR withdrawal before next week. ✌️ QotW; my fav gourami that I currently have is the Sparkling. Their eyes man, nothing beats a heavily planted tank and going in for a close look and all the sudden seeing this little neon blue eye staring back at you from in the mess of plants! Fav gourami from my wish list is probably Licorice Gourami in a black water set up.
House fires suck big time! Friends of mine had it in their attic, fire came from the neighbours. They kept almost all of their home crafted cosplays up there. She's a seamstress and there was some amazing stuff in there. And quite a lot of memories considering they have been cosplaying like 20 years or more. I haven't looked into gourami's, I'm a tetra girl!
For the QOTW, I am very partial to Blue Gourami. My first ever fish and she was a spicy lady, named her Angel cause to me she looked like an underwater angel. Acted more like a devil tho lmao.
QOTW: Back in the days I liked to keep 3 spot blue gourami and pearl gourami, but only because I never had enough space for kissing gourami or giant gorami.
Qtow: I’d definitely go with honey gouramis for how small and peaceful they are Second pic is the pearl gourami for being beautiful and hardy Third is dwarf gourami for the colors but I do not trust them in the least 😅
8:20 it looks like a type of Balitoridae Hillstream Loach, I believe I’ve seen it for sale before but I forget the name. I believe one of the words in it’s common name is saddle Edit: someone else beat me to it, and they were more specific

You’ve got to stop cracking me up. I am 70 years old and I laughed so hard. My heart starts hurting.
What a way to go though! 🤣
Thanks for making my entire week so early on the monday, love to know I'm good with the middle-aged crowd!
@@FishForThoughtyou are the middle aged crowd
The piranha photo is a stock image, so im going to go with fake/troll
I've been had.
Okay the "Fallen Angel Fish" got me lmao
same
That was freaking genius
Different approach today, had the bad Monday, and now watching in the evening for a lift!! Appreciate you!!
there we go!
Favorite gourami is the Giant Gourami, hands down. They're like if a big stupid puppy was a big lazy fish and I love it.
Happy FFTday everyone!! Sparkling Gourami. I love them. I have 3 right now. When they are fired up they are stunning! I really love me a Croaking Gourami too. When you hear them croak it is so neat!!
so awesome of a species

have some fun with it for sure!
Good morning, I am not feeling it today. I am so glad to have this video to watch. Thank you!
Plus…. I got some pea puffers! So cute…
I hope you’re doing better now and I hope your new sea puffers do well!
Hope you get to feeling better soon Irene
Hope you feel better soon Irene
@@samiushafeeq4445 thank you. I have been feeling a lot better
@@empressireneabitfishcrazy thats great!

love em! annoying and amazing
I'm more of a Tree-stump. Lol!!!
Thanks for the 5/5!!
I'm off Thursdays, so Wednesdays are like my Fridays, so I love them.
Holy cow what do you do
@@FishForThought I get my hands wet.
Chris:
Not not ass
Not not abuse
Amazing way to tell someone it’s bad without hurting their feelings
passive aggressive or just dumb
Pearl Gourami are my fave as they just float around like huge dirigibles. So peaceful.
The Pleco on the Snail clip...we're not gonna acknowledge the investation of detritus worms 😭
I got more plants for my 10 gallon today! I found a new pet store to go to, I was so happy it's weird to be excited to find and buy 4 different plants for under $15.
My Betta girl has moved into her 10 gallon and she chunk. My boy is Fine Boi.
I'm glad I'm not the only won who wanted to contact NASA and yell at them about Pluto!
lmao! lotsa young'ones actually wrote to them

That's a much better name than calling it "hump day" 😂
Caught me off guard with"Both known jumpers, Prolific jumpers... Both very good at suicide" 😂😅
Laughed so hard I panicked cause I couldn't breathe😅
FELT 😂
🤣
oh no LOL i'm sry
@@FishForThought No worries, It was a much needed laugh😄

Sparkling gourami! So much sound from such a little fish!
Angle fish looking sus 🤨 Lol great FFT 😌 Keep up the great work!
You are the only thing that makes Mondays great!!! 👍 😊

I love that I can get out of my 8 am on Mondays and feed my fish addiction😂😂 love you Chris💜💜💜💜
8:13 fish is a red lizard loach!!
awesome thx!

@@WackWacky-vc5ed It didn't and is not now either. Thank you for replying, I'm an older lady of 65. Thank you so much.
Love the videos very entertaining and smooth jump cuts
10:31 The day I learned that the snails have eyes: I was swimming at the beach and found a conch once, only once! I was excited to finally have a shell like that, but I turned it over and saw an eyeball staring at me 😂 disappoint. but I did throw it back
the feeler fins on honey gourami are too cute sorry I’m basic
@6:51 Lol I also have a turtle in my bathtub 😂
My favorite day of the week is Wednesday, but I don't even really know why. My friend and I used to always do "knuckle-bump Wednesdays!"
I love gouramis! My favorite fish besides tetras. They are all so cool and beautiful but I've only kept pearls, honeys, and sparklers so far❤
5:55 I doubt they'd put a real velociraptor skull in there
you never know 🤷♀️
That's not an angel fish....LMAO
pitbull call angle vibe
lmao true!
i did NOT need that conch jumpscare
it always jumpscares me even when I know about it
One of my betta fish is definitely nearing "oh lawd he comin'" territory. I'm gonna have to put him in a tank with no shrimp at all, I think, bro's feasting in there
lmao! I love that description of ur fish
I saw an almost grown bristlenose pleco not moving in the bubbles in a fish store, went back to that tank 10 minutes later, he was in the bubbles in the other side 😭😭
The Blue Paradise Gourami is pretty cute 😍
awesome choice
Bruh nahhhh if you leave a perfectly good tank outside amongst other garbage you bet your biscuit I'm nabbing that thing 😂 I actually once got a really nice 30 gallon that was left outside a neighbours house, since they lived only a few doors down I did knock and they told me I was free to take it, it had a crack in the bottom which is why they tossed it but it made a very nice mouse enclosure!

I genuinely loled a few times. I owned a blue gourami many years ago and he was beautiful. Maybe I will get some more one day.
Honey gourami is definitely my favorite, “only one I have” however there are some amazing looking ones
8:43 is no one going to talk about that swarm of detritus worm?
i work from friday to monday. i like wendnesdays, this is middle day of my three day weekend.
I've raised angelfish for 40 years and I've never had a piranha angelfish... This seems to be a pretty unique genus of the species
Just got a sparkling gourami this weekend! Living his best life in quarantine rn
Boney boy to he chunk. Only had him a few months give him time. He ate through the shrimp I foolishly put in with him.. killed a couple snails too.. 😢
I always get so paranoid about leaks when I see stuff like that guy losing his tank and backup. EEK!
Sparkling Gourami are the best type of gourami...they even sing/croak!
Love the rainbow and sparkling variety! Although I've only ever owned neon blue myself. They just don't live very long😢Some of my Cory gang are 16 years old!
For piranha, they and other similar fish like silver dollars and pacus were once in Family Characidae with tetra before being moved to their own Family Serrasalmidae.
As for gourami, the one that left an impression to me is giant gourami (Osphronemus goramy) I was in very large setting (the giant educational one)
In kerala, india, we have a special offer on kfc only on Wednesdays.😂
I like wensdays because at my school they give us a half day it’s so great
My personal fave will always be the licorice gourami but we used to have a giant gourami at my parents lfs and he was the best boy.
Here's an underrated gourami I've found in the wild a few times. Parosphromenus, absolutely gorgeous fish.
One fine boi for my man Percy, one oh LAWD for my fat rescue Azula
At least your furniture smells like Campfire 😂
videos like this make mondays better.
glad to hear it man
8:29 is a loach! Im thinking Homaloptera or Vanmanenia genus (i have Vanmanenias, not that species tho)
Also, the Gold Gourami is the Superior gourami.
Pretty sure it's a saddle-back loach or red gecko ! Super cool fish either way.
nice choice
@@sam8789if its behavior is anything like my Vanmanenias then the color patterns are just cream on top.
Angelfish..? Bros on something
So late but im catching up, for the algorithm! QOTW: Easily Pearl Guarami, these guys get slept on. I just love their coloration, that sparkly circular gradient is so fine and that beautiful black stripe, with that nice pop of orange near the pectoral fin/gills. Cant beat them imo.

I appreciate Wednesdays because some restaurants offer discounts on Wednesday!
Tripod fish looks busy while doing nothing. That's a skill in its own right ✅️
I aim to be like that
Pearl gourami is the best of what I've seen so far.
awesome choice
Honey gouramis are cool, especially the red-oeange ones
House fires suck big time! Friends of mine had it in their attic, fire came from the neighbours. They kept almost all of their home crafted cosplays up there. She's a seamstress and there was some amazing stuff in there. And quite a lot of memories considering they have been cosplaying like 20 years or more.
I haven't looked into gourami's, I'm a tetra girl!
could say that again! we're STILL negotiating with insurance :(
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours 🦃
For the QOTW, I am very partial to Blue Gourami. My first ever fish and she was a spicy lady, named her Angel cause to me she looked like an underwater angel. Acted more like a devil tho lmao.
Damn, ton of laughs this week lmao
Exodon paradoxes are fantastic. They piranha attack frozen food. But get bullied by plakat Betta. 🤷
Moonlight, I'm drawn to white or lighter colored fish; 30 tall full of white skirts.
Hump Day come on half way there😂
Piranhas and tetras are somehow related. Their feeding behaviour is similar as well.
Literally laughed myself to tears 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣💀
Pearl gourami, though honeys are cute too!!!
"This is all my stuff in this trailer.... the smell in here is CRAZY!" 😂😂 wtf? Why does it smell?
It's all smoke damaged from the fire in his apartment and condemned to be destroyed.
yes, mostly smoke, but also dampness and moldy from the sprinkler water
@@FishForThought oo that is rough man.
Personally, I love the neon Gouramis. Don't care what species as long as the colors are in your face.
Favorite gourami would be paradise, and Pearl.
great fish
QOTW: Back in the days I liked to keep 3 spot blue gourami and pearl gourami, but only because I never had enough space for kissing gourami or giant gorami.
Dwarf Gourami are most likely my favorites.
it's not parasite on dorsal fin. this is bladder snail on the glass
QOTW I've only every had the blue dwarf gouramis before but they're super cool looking
Qtow: I’d definitely go with honey gouramis for how small and peaceful they are
Second pic is the pearl gourami for being beautiful and hardy
Third is dwarf gourami for the colors but I do not trust them in the least 😅
I'm dreaming of licorice gouramis 🥺 so cute.
fav goerami beeing the pearl gourami just a showpiece fish that is way to overlooked my many fish keepers
QotW - i'm gonna be a bit more specific than species. Gus the Giant Gourami at the Minnesota Zoo. He is ancient and has quite the personality.
That red belly gurami is kinda cool I might add one in my tank
I have white skirt tetras and I call them my mini piranha's. I would love to find some red bellies to raise
dwarf gourami's are my favorite
I LOVE Wednesday. Its grocery day and i always get myself a nice treat.
Definitely Neon Blue Dwarf Gouramis. My Gourami Sterling has such a fun personality
8:43 is there millions of little worms on the ground or wtf? 😭
Learned today that my boy Opal, my betta fish, may be a bit dummy thick. 😅
Best thing about Wednesday is that it's pay day
8:20 it looks like a type of Balitoridae Hillstream Loach, I believe I’ve seen it for sale before but I forget the name. I believe one of the words in it’s common name is saddle
Edit: someone else beat me to it, and they were more specific
Also I am partial to Gastromyzontidae hillstreams, but they are both two of my favorite fish families
I used to have kissing gouramis. Fun to watch them smooch
Gecko loach. Was looking at these last night
