Hi! I live in England and I am setting up a freshwater tank! A few days ago I went looking for some possible tanks, plants and fish. Today I am getting my plants and tank. They recommend this channel and is probably my favourite aquarium channel! Thank you.

Thanks man
He literally copied the names he saw
Thank you
Ah, I really love all the cutaway shots. Nice work Coopy and Jammy!
Wow!,didn't know you also where a fan!
How about also doing top 5 intermediate level, all the way to very-experienced level fish list?
This sounds great but might have to take time to make the video as I know you don’t keep very many hard to keep species. Although the plecos and puffers would definitely be on that list
I wonder if killifish would make good beginner or intermediate fish.
Killi are a tad more difficult, although interesting fish to keep. They love jumping, so keep the top closed at all times. And they can be fairly aggresive towards other fish, so people sometimes just keep them alone in a smaller tank. If you find the right species, you can easily manage them in a small group (like say 9, 3 males and 6 females)
An experienved level fish I can think of, is the octopus.
NiX aKi my dads on the most experienced level
Those Bettas you showed are gorgeous! I keep about 20 in separate containers and they are easy to keep. Regular water changes, and small feedings of once to twice a day and they should live for 2 to 6 years. The Bolivian Rams are definitely a safer choice for beginners than the German ones. A tank with Cherry barbs, cardinal tetras and the pepper cory (Corydoras Paleatus) cats would be great together.
Kuhlis are my all time favorite. Had one that lived in my tank for 14 years. Was very friendly and swam to the front every time it saw me.
White Cloud Mountain Minnows! Super hearty and the it's really cute when the males display their fins to each other!
Those are feeders at my lfs
I buy them as feeders for just 15 cents, so I buy at least in 10 s.
They are very hardy, and once they grow their colors shine.
Also top 10 best for bettas (for friends not food)
I just got 6 to put with my betta, super cute and I saw 2 males sparring this morning! I love them a lot already.
Edit: The white cloud mountain minnows incase anyone thought I meant rosy red
With the white clouds, what do you guys think is a good fish as centerpiece. Like for example, i think a blue gourami would look good with the white clouds. Some fish thats big but doesnt overpower white clouds :v
Great video! Your displays are stunning, definitely have to visit your store eventually.
Hi there!
If you enjoyed this video, check out our Top 10 fish for a 10 gallon aquarium. ua-cam.com/video/0MzfLrSqfXY/v-deo.html
Sounds like list getting better. Unless you are having problems with some kind of tetras i suggest lumping with neon as neon and other tetras. Angelfishes is still controversial but from what I heard it's the breeds. Wild type sounds like the most hardy so far unless you heard from other breeders about how reliable the other types are. I also would lump swordfish and mollies together since require aquarium salts at least for beginners. I won't push fully freshwater for neither unless you are intermediate.
Aquarium Co-Op do you think a koi is a good first fish because I have an angel and a koi it’s my first tank ever and it’s doing excellent
Koi are sometimes pretty aggressive to other fishes.
Arroyo Invincible my koi are really docile to my angel fish
I said some kois. One koi I had killed two other kois, some minnows, and a few small goldfishes. I gave it it's nickname of killer. It doesn't bother my single big goldfish so it prob is size.
I am a fairly accomplished aquarium hobbiest, but I'd like to thank you for all the knowledge you have bestowed for other enthusiasts and beginners. Your channel helps others in ways we could not learn by ourselves in the past, pre-youtube. Thank you very much! All the Best, The Sleep Tights
Thanks cory I love all your videos! I just got my son a 10 gallon and put a couple mollies in it.. now after watching your videos my addiction to the hobby has kicked back into overdrive.. Haha now I need to convince my wife to let me have a tank!
Thomas Dailey what’d she say😂
@@unknownjason879 we'll never know.
This guy doesn’t know as much as he thinks he does. That tank is too small.
@@danielledewitt1 😂
@@Akira-wo7pl What?
I would love to see a list of your faves for cycling a new tank! Great recommendations in this video!
Awesome video! I've been keeping fish for almost three years now, and am always working hard to learn all that I can. You can never know enough, after all. I love my Pleco, she's super chill and easy.
I just bought a pleco... The baby one... How big is your pleco now? May I know?
Love your videos! I have kept all kinds of fish from arawannas to oscars to goldfish. I am sorta going backwards and trying guppies for the first time and I love it. After watching your videos I decided to try a planted tank, who knew I would love it so much! Keep up the good work.
Great beginner fish selection. like the list, Danio, Barbs, Rasbora, Always forget about the African tetras but that is a good choice. Good to hear you put the common goldfish and Angelfish back on the list (with specifications.) ... those have always been classics. 😁
Great suggestions, got my med trio in the mail today, thanks Cory, Jimmy, and the Crew.😎👍
Great video Cory! I love these types of videos :)
Although I’ve been in the hobby for a few years, I’m scared of getting any fish that isn’t easier then beginner level. I got my first snail yesterday! Wish me luck with my ecosphere!
How’s it coming along?
I'm so fortunate to live in the Seattle area. My partner and I love shopping at your store and we've purchased koi angelfish, blue German rams and neon tetras. You guys are the best.
@My Pets He's in Edmonds to be exact. If you have a car you should check it out. I moved out of state and miss the Co-op.
I love watching your top 10 fish list. Keep making more videos like this cause I will definitely like them. Your one of the reason that inspired me to get a tanks again.
Great list, when I was in my 30’s I use to have a 100 gallons tank, I had most of all the fish you mentioned except for the goldfish
I also had black balloon mollies, swordtail fish, loved them all. No longer have the tank, I’m 62 and I’m thinking of getting an aquarium but smaller. Thank you for sharing the info.
Excelent suggestions!!!! I would add to the ten fish, an eleventh: the Zebra Danio (very appreciated in Brazil, where it is also known as "Paulistinha". Robust, easy-going, highly decorative, always active... It renders lots of rewarding at the cost of very simple keeping.
Ditto on Rasboras!! My rasbora hets are bullet proof! I forgot to plug in my heater once in the middle of winter. The following morning I noticed they seemed stressed & caught the temperature swing before any had died. They bounced back immediately the same day! I've made a lot of mistakes & they are very forgiving!
Cory I've been with you since 200 subscribers and I love to see this channel grow so much
Danios are great starter fish imo. Really lively and hardy.
That was the best description of cories I've ever heard. Jump on the Kuhli Wagon everyone - they are so much fun! For those who like loaches, (and who doesn't!?) I would suggest the very mild mannered Zebra loach. Around 4 inches, they like to shoal together, very active, and they will interact with other fish. Basically a miniature clown loach. I would also suggest either the sparkling gourami for small tanks or the paradise fish as a replacement for your Betta scenario or Angelfish scenario.
my only issue is Gouramis can be a bit weak, especially from chain stores, so I personally, wouldn't call them 'beginner.'
I tried buying khulis twice and both times my batches died. In their quarantine tank. In 1 day. Either they are NOT hardy or my store had a bad shipment.
I bought my gourami from them same day I bought my 1st khuli batch.
The gourami is alive and doing great.
kuhli can be weak , but they are fun to watch, have three , wanting two more in my 10 gallon
Paradise fish actually get bigger than bettas. Atleast 20 gallons for them.
Okay I watch your videos all the time and didn’t even realize you’re in Edmonds Washington!!! Definitely stopping by your store here soon! I’m 10 minutes away haah
I love that you really like silvertip tetras. They are one of my most favorite tetras. If you want to keep two species together a school looks great with a school of glow light tetras. Glow lights also have white tips on their fins and orange looks great with green.
Those cutaway shots are amazing!! And great list!
Thank you so much for the video!
Cory the tanks look great behind you everything you do is high quality your really setting the standard you are the KING OF FISHTUBE ✌
Those Neons and Cardinals look awesome!
Good to see people putting the word out about the gold fish. This is a really neat and wonderful fish to keep, but they need proper care. I had six small gold fish in a twenty gallon tank and they lasted less that a year because I thought they were easy to care for since every child has had a gold fish bowel here and there.
Twenty gallons per fish is recommended and they are really best off in outdoor ponds and the larger the better.
Why am I watching this I don’t even own a fish
Yet!
bearandjoyce fa 👁🕳👁
You can still learn though
Do it
i dont own a fish either but In 2 days I’m gonna buy some
My MIL bought 5 thirty cent goldfish last year to put in her pond, she put them in a massive tank in September due to weather getting colder (we live in Minnesota) and I was astounded by how much they grew, they're all about 5+ inches and I know they'll get bigger this summer, we can't wait to see their growth at the end of the summer.
Most fish are indeterminate growers which is something I don’t believe was really mentioned in this video, with goldfish being one of the most common breeds for it, as long as a fish has proper care they will grow just about as big as they comfortably can in their environment
Love you and your information everything is working out great thank you
I wish I lived near you let shop! Thank you for all you do.
*Support us by buying on our online store:* bit.ly/2DBHg6D
Any type of plecos are good for communities. Giant rasboras(they are a super hardy fish). Gouramis, they are related to the betta family so they will fight or one will pick on the other that's what I learned growing up but as grow learned more about. tbh
Aquarium Co-Op
Do you ship to England???
Aquarium Co-Op wow I went out and bought my school of barbs (6 albino, 6 regular tiger and 6 green) because of you Cory and for the longest time I could absolutely not figure out what else I wanted to add to my tank as a show piece fish and once again you've helped me with my troubles. So thank you cory for all you've done and all the help I've gotten from you. # aquarium co-op

top 10 hardest fish to keep.
s_ r yeah it would be cool
#1 Frail Gourami
Discus, Arowana( I know I spelled it wrong, never mind )
Those fish are hard to keep in my opinion
Tony Edward arrowan arent hard to keep they just need lots of space, they are prehistoric and very hardy fish
Glass catfish
Your videos are very informative, keep it up!
I really like this video. You told us a lot of kinds of fish. Thanks a lot!
Another great video, thank you.
Candi Overhuls ola candi we meet again!!
Thx for the guppie information🐠
Another great video Cory thank you for all your hard work 🤙🤘🤙
Thank you very much for sharing your ideas especially for a newbie like me - Pauli from England
My first fish were golden dojo’s. I loved them
Hey mr cory! Do you have a list of fish that can live in hard water? Preferably schooling ones...
Thanks for uploading this one Cory! Love your videos man! Wish I could come out and meet you one day!!
Thanks. Love all your videos and products!!
Hi Cory. I've just started back up in the aquarium world, maybe you can speak about cold tanks? U might already have done one. Rosy red minnows with white cloud mountain minnows..they are so much fun. In their tank, the RRM are bottom dwellers and the WCMM are half to top dwellers.
Studio 96315 how???????
EAGLES FLIGHT they love to play in the filter current, they enjoy their algea waffers, they don't cost much and some have lovely colors. They enjoy large schools.
thx Studio 96315 👍👍🙂🙂
I have to say, I was never really a livebearer fan until I kinda forced myself to try them out. I got some mollies and now I really like em, they bred in my tank all on their own, they are super active, the tank is just always alive and they constantly begging for food, eating just about anything. Only downside is that they poop a lot and breed a lot(or at least mine do) so be prepared to deal with them accordingly.
The #1 Kill Joy Yah. If you try to save every baby, you would double your population in a month!
Edit: I am guilty of this.
Yeah! Mollys are the rabbits of the fish kingdom...... It was cool how my black mollys and Dalmation mollys cross breed to create a spickle molly though.......
Can molly mix with tiger barbs?
Excellent suggestions!
Thank you!
love this guy man is really stright foward and informative !
Can you do a Beta community tank video? Beta tank mates?
*Do yourself a favor and subscribe so you get more videos like this from us.* bit.ly/2Yez7yl
Bro all these fishes you showed are compatible with each other? Cuz I bought a aquarium and I am confused to choose fish cuz I am afraid they fight among each other. Plz help me out
Great informational video, love the editing as well
Glad to hear some enthusiasm for platys, they’re awesome!
I like, bleeding heart tetras.... bulletproof and like miniature piranhas at feeding time. So fun to feed.
CRS Flowerhorn Aquatics my huge black widows remind me of pacus how they look and feed
cichlid keeper chuck I’ve only ever seen black widows for sale in my lfs once. They looked really cool.
CRS Flowerhorn Aquatics really they are in every fish store near me i have 8 currently
cichlid keeper chuck I only have one decent one in my area, and a pets@home franchise store... which clearly sucks lol.
CRS Flowerhorn Aquatics I have a few that a great near by, where are you based?
Thanks koby! got a big craving for some khuli loaches now
Expat Aquatics his name is Cory
Expat Aquatics, I love kuhli's too. Coopys video had the regular ones too instead of the black kuhli loaches, and I really love the regular variety. I loves the action show of the cardinal tetras, too. Great job Corby!
Haha, Expat is referring to an inside joke from the Real Fish Talk channel. :)
Thanks for the advice looking forward to get fish and taking good care of it. Oh and keep up the good work
One of the other easiest fish to take care of based on my experience is the molly, they are extremely hardy, and like temperatures around 75 degrees fahrenheit, they are so hardy in fact, if acclimated correctly they can be transferred to freshwater. And they can produce hybrids with a few select species of fish. I have produced a batch of hybrids before and they were amazing. It was a Guppy Molly mix, sadly they are all sterile. Though, I want to see if the hybrid can be acclimated to saltwater. I don't think it's been done before and it would look cool.
Loved the list except goldfish. Because they poop a lot and that can change the water chemistry drastically. Also they are suitable for cooler waters. I would add dwarf neon rainbows, pearl and dwarf rainbow gourami and endlers too. I keep all these fish and they, from my experience, can tolerate a novice's inability to control fluctuations in parameters.
I don't feel that 1 common goldfish per 30 gallons of water is hard to take care of for a beginner.
Goldfish don't produce anymore waste than any other fish. They dont magically make more waste than what they are fed. They are products of what they are fed. Most commercial Goldfish food is garbage. Loaded with wheat and rice meal which makes them seem like they poop alot. Feed them quality vege and protein food and their waste load diminishes significantly. Biggest problem with goldfish is they grow large and fast. That's when people dump them illegally in local waterways.
Fancy Goldfish where my starter fish in the hobby and still my favorite today!!
If fed high quality food and provided sufficient room they’re very rewarding!!
I couldn't agree more about the dwarf gouramis, though they can be aggressive toward fish of around the same size. They don't hassle neons etc. In my experience, they make a nice centerpiece fish in a tank with endlers, etc.
By the way endlers are about the coolest fish ever! Especially red check and cobras!
I am new to the hobby, so I'm not sure what happened exactly, but I believe my dwarf gourami killed all 5 of my xray tetras within 2 days. I have a 13 gallon tank with some tetras, a platy, and a guppy. The gourami was absolutely fine for the first 3 weeks and then he suddenly become super aggressive nipping and harassing all of my xray tetras. I removed him as soon as I noticed this, but by that point it was too late. All 5 of the xray tetras were dead within 2 days. Not sure what triggered this. I test the water frequently and everything checked out. Any ideas?
I enjoy your videos where you show the fish. Cardinal tetras one of my favorites but tough to find in my state NH, Neons are sold everywhere but not cardinals.
Thanks for mentioning the Bolivian Ram. I think they are highly underrated. They were the first cichlid I ever kept.
my first tank was with cichlids i dont remember the species except one which i have to this day somehow and its a male black convict cichlid currently im looking for a mate for him because he is frantically building nests wherever he wants
I have heard that these fish are real good parent fish.
The southern platy is an amazing fish. I have a 46gal full of them, and the biggest is a 3” beautiful red wag female I named Tomato. She has a big barrel chest, and loves to come up to you anytime you walk near the tank. Tons of piscinality!
Can’t wait I’ll be stopping by the shop tomorrow 😁
All great information.. I started with guppies .. now I have a bunch of them .. like 50 plus, some are still very small fry kept in a breeder box for now. Neon tetras are really pretty and tend to school with the guppies. I recently added some very small black fin?? tetras .. everyone is playing nicely. If I could add anything to the list (not a fish) are mystery snails.. at the moment I have over 100 .. most are in a small grow out tank but these are blue foot Ivory Mystery Snails.. so pretty. tfs
The more Cory cat's the better , brilliant fish to keep 👊
This was super, thank you!!
Those close up pics/shots look awesome!!
I would say the blue mickey mouse platy, easy fish with some great blue on them, in the right light it's kinda blue/green, really pretty.
Esteban still haven't seen a blue Platty in my life
I have never seen any blue platies in my local fish stores. I saw one called Green lantern platy, but it was basically silver and black, there was no real green or blue :(
I do love platies though!
Esteban Oh yes! I love the Blue Mickey Mouse Platy also! One of my very favorite fish that has come out recently! !!!
Savanna The Aqua Llama , I got them from a local Petco. Sometimes they have them, then they don't! The Green Lantern Platy if you have them longer and feed brine shrimp and blood worms they get an irredecent green blue shimmery color in the black part of their pattern! They're very pretty! The fish stores usually have more of those then the Blue Mickey Mouse Platy! !!
Ooh, that's a shame, I think they are nice because it's an easy, affordable way to add some peacefull blue to the tank.
Not a fish, but African dwarf frogs are sooo easy too keep.
I love these videos keep up the good work!
Great vid cody !!!
Absolutely an amazing video. My favourite of all, and I'm hooked. Could you do another one dedicated to Betta care and community ideas. You have peaked my interest. Side note I have an empty 120 gallon tank and am a beginner, it only has moss balls because I'm an over planner/researcher. I was thinking goldfish but dont have a pond a common could move into (and I can't bring myself to fall in love and rehome)
Have you seen the top 4 betta tankmates video we did?
Aquarium Co-Op what so excited, off to find it :)
You could also consider some fancy goldfish that don't get as big. They may not be as hardy as a common, but they're pretty! Good luck!
A Gamer's Wife fantail goldfish are fairly hardy of the fancy varieties, plus a 120g has room for a good 8-10 depending on the dimensions of the tank
Jonathon Hartley what would be a good resource to look into fantail goldfish. My ultimate goal aquarium is Ranchu but want to start easier.
Hi, I believe most live bearers are great beginners fish. As that what bring me into this hobbies. I still can remember when i am young and saw the guppies giving birth live, is so amazing that i wish i can have a few myself.
But true to what you say, guppies nowadays are a little weak. Therefore my 8 beginners fish will be:
1) Guppies
2) Swordtails
3) Platy
4) Mollies
5) Cory
6) betta
7) Cherry barbs
8) Angelfish
I have only 8 as i believe this are the fish that are hardy and will be attractive as in a community tank and alsp might not pose too much of an issue to me and other fish keepers. That is my humble opinion. Thank you.
The top 4 are all livebearers. They are great fish.
Chronomaly Player 2017 WattCobraSnake No, they can live in fresh, brackish or salt.
I never could keep mollies or guppies alive and platys i love but it seems like they always ended up with parasites..
Hi Kelly, i believe for mollies a little aquarium salt should do the trick. For platies and guppies, parasites can avoid when first bought. Add med for internal and external parasites and it should kill off whatever germs that the fish carry.
great video!! You should make on the top 10 best plants for beginners
Another first class video mate👌👍
Do a video on caryfish please thanks my bro
Graumi I would say are really good beginner fish because from my experience they are hardy and forgiving I had on a long time ago when I was a beginner and I didn’t change the water for 6 months I know I was horrible in a tank with a betta ( it was 2.5 gallons) but both of them lived and I still have a graumi like 3 years later she’s in a 65 gallon Community tank now
The Chicken could you put a gourami and a Betta in a 10 gallon? My Betta is not as agressive and what is the best diet for gourami
*Gourami.. why was it in a 2.5 gal..
I probably wouldn't put a gourami and betta together, but it _might_ work if both are pretty docile. It also helps if the tank is heavily planted or has lots of decor for the weaker fish to hide behind. Gouramis tend to eat the same thing betta fish do - floating pellets, community tank flakes or pellets, frozen bloodworms, etc. Good luck!
I was inexperienced and I was told this by a pet store I didn’t know any better at the time but now she’s doing great the betta passed away awhile ago maybe a year
The Chicken 🐔 dhndrfnfjfjf
Love cories! Just started a cory tank (and a betta) in a 20 gallon long
I always tell people about white clouds as a starter egg layer,hardy,cheap and super interesting to watch.
Never knew Angel fish could be kept by just having 1.
could u do a top 10 of fresh water fish that u don't need to heat up please if not nps thankyou anyway love the vids
Yes dan yes !!
Betta fish can survive very harsh conditions. But they're tropical fish.
Betta fish do need heating or s temp around 70 degrees I have to get 2 heaters for my 3.5 gallon and another fish tank since it’s more cold in my room when the rest of my house is 69 or 70 degrees.
If you live in a tropical country betta fish is the most affordable fish to take care of. They only need a minimum 2.5 gallon tank and a water conditioner.
Love this UA-cam..good info..great presentation
i like all your "top" videos but this one is my fave as even though the picks are more broad categories there's more info given for each one
I've watched tons of videos about begginer fishes. Still haven't decided what fish to get. 😂
I haven''t seen a goldfish in like 6 years
Awesome tips man you rock and your Channel its amazing 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍
I have had aquariums since 1972 and I still like these fish . Nice video.
I got three hard fish to take care of... Didn't go to well...
Did I save their bodies for science dinner
ZEBRA DANIOS
I love platys, they're very easy and have quite a bit of personality!
this will be a great help for me.thanks
I completely disagree regarding Neon Tetras as fish for Beginners.. They die off like anything
U been doing something wrong
big disagree my tetras went through a lot of bs and never died
They live like forever if you take care of tho
You must’ve had a something seriously messed up my dude, they’re pretty much bulletproof...
Did you see the brain on that goldfish 😷
He a smart boy
It’s not a brain it’s a crown
great information as always 🐟🐠👍🏻
Good list. I have Bolivian rams. Angelfish, tetras and corydoras all in a community tank. I also have mollies and Platys. I know you said Platys are the one livebearer you had on the list but mollies are super easy to maintain. Too many babies though lol
Goldfish can become an invasive species in the wild and should most definitely not be released into ponds or streams.
Gmad ont I think he means like a koi pond in someone’s yard
