It says I need to pay
Does it have to be discord, can I just email you my photos and videos of my amazing fishtank?
Came back after 2 years. i forgot how nice these videos are
One of the best decision of your life
welcome back!
SAME
That's a lot of Mondays
Best vibes
Everyone: I go to this vacation spot
ME: U guys go to vacation?
haha same I haven't been on a vacation in 4 years
Hey, you don't necessarily need to go far to vacation. A nice spot down the road for the weekend can be a fun trip and you can even run home to take care of any pets (like fish or cats) who may just need to be fed.
After 8 years of research and planning, I'm finally putting together my first tank. this show has helped me so much the past few months to stay motivated. So happy it's Monday again :)
Hahahahah
have fun!
Hi chris! Its me TinyChibiFox!
My Community tank is a 25 Gallon (I believe. for me its 80 Litres) My Pleco is actually v small, he came from a poor breeder tank at PetsAtHome and just has never grown. I did have him in a 150 Litre but he wasnt thriving! Now he's slowly growing and im hoping to move him back to his bigger tank soon! My sand has 2 different Fertilized soils in (you can kinda see a hint of it bottom right), Thank you so much for featuring my tank! Absolutely made my day!
He's almost 2 years old and barely 3 inches, however he is starting to get a better quality of life! it doesnt show in the video but the tank is actually really Wide, more wide than it lets on :)
Glad to hear your little pleco is doing well and getting better! 🥰
You really saved his life and gave him a second chance
sweet!
The deep substrate was an overcompensation. I had some ammonia fears so I dumped way too much inert sand. This tank is due for some proper redo even though I changed some plants and it's looking way better.. I appreciate the exposure.
Haha I do the same. I have soil at the bottom of my tank and I wanted to be sure that I wouldn't risk any parameter changes.
when i first started my tank the worker at the petshop explained nothing about filtering or cycling and said it would be fine to put a betta with other fish. I had a sword tail guppy and common pleco and the betta killed the guppy and sword tail. then the betta died from swim bladder disease and I don't know why the pleco died but It probably died from there being no filter. Thankfully now I know how to take care of fish 🐠
Favourite vacation spot is definitely my mum's house, across the country from me and in the middle of nowhere Ireland. Surrounded by trees and wild goats is my idea of a good time 😂
aw good vibes
My family sometimes goes to Croatia, and we know a beautiful Rocky-beach where you can literally go into the water and be surrounded by fish EVERYWHERE
Its so colourful and absolutely stunning to snorkel there. Having a school of fish around you is such a cool feeling :D
that's so awesome
That is the EXACT reason why I only swim in pools lol, but I live on the coast in New England
7:25 those are tuna crab also known as squat lobsters
Me: I need to mow the lawn... UA-cam: but wait, there's a Fish for Thought video.
take a break before starting xD
Literally me rn I was about to go get some gas for the mower but I opened yt to be invited to this vid. How could I not?😂
My favorite vacation spot is away from work, with my family, great weather, great food, and just exploring wherever we travel! We try to go to new places every year. This year, we will be checking out Kentucky and Tennessee!
awesome! 1 of the things I gotta do is have KFC in Kentucky
watched every ftr and most of the other random vids in like 2 weeks, ended up buying a 50 gallon tank because of this channel and now im gonna start setting up a small fish corner in the basement to chill with
got the fish bug!
I’m sick today and staying home from school. Almost forgot it was Monday, thank god I saw this!
get well soon!
@@FishForThought Thank you!
My mind rn: YIPPEEE YIPPEEE YIPPEE YIPEEEEE
4:04 "what do you think this fish thinks about?" freedom
So cute how the scorpions grab the roaches with their pincers 😍😍😍
I don't know how this comment got here, I left it on The Dark Den, weird 🤔
@@littlenikki9539 yeah I was pretty confused
@@FishForThought lol Chris 😂😂😂
Thank 👏🏽 goodness 👏🏽 it’s 👏🏽 Monday! 👏🏽 ❤❤❤
yaaa!
TGIM! Not TGIF. TGIM! FTR!
Mixing colors of shrimp does NOT produce only brown.
Normally when people mix shrimp it's in a community skittles tank where the colored shrimp are being picked off by your fish because they are so easy to see compared to the browns.
KeepingFishSimple has several videos of mixing many different colors , and I've mixed many colors as well.
You see browns because the young colored shrimp are way easier for your fish to see.
Another great FTR! Sometimes the only thing that gets me through a Monday is the prospect of watching fish tank review when I get home. [qotw: my favorite vacation spot is naples]
awesome! I'm gonna keep it up so you always get to look forward to FTR :)
@@FishForThought Thanks so much for what you do, Chris!
The crabs are so funny 😂😂😂 7:16
Short-finned betta and a group of panda cories in a beautifully scaped tank... Make it a 20 gallon long and it'd be perfect!
And I love the dog analogy! It's exactly the case. If you wouldn't do it to your dog, you shouldn't do it to *any* pet
Very cute idea with the pleco pointing to the pH and being the same color as it XD Plecos are such quirky little things like that 💕
they are so quirky haha
Copper falls Wisconsin. I love hiking the trails
nice
A fish tank dont neeeed a heater just like your plane dont neeeeed a routine check up...
Vacation stop would be Thailand ! Inexpensive and you can go fish tours! 🙌
awesome i plan to visit 1 day
Big Bend National Park in Texas. 1,252 sq miles of the most amazing scenery and unique ecologies. Fantastic camping and hiking. don't go in the middle of summer unless you like temps well above 100° F.
sweet
Hey Chris. I recently rescued a betta from my job (i work at a local pet store) he is currently in a planted 2.5 with a filter and a heater. I bought the "betta substrate" and "betta rocks with live bacteria for bettas". He started building a bubble nest the other day. I have betta pellots and freeze dried blood worms for him. In two pay cycles he is beinf upgraded to a 15 gallon.
LOVE the new outro song!!!! I can't wait to send in pics of my tanks some day! I have 2x 75 gallons, a 60 gallon tall with Discus, a 40 gallon breeder with baby angelfish, a 39 bowfront with a fire eel (moving to one of the 75s soon) a 15 gallon column with a single betta, a 2.5 gallon shrimp tank, a 20 gallon long shrimp tank and a few other tanks too!
The absolute best vacation spots are Cape Vincent and Alexandria Bay in NY, in the north country. Gorgeous and the Riverboat tours are an absolute must!
awesome!
If you like nature vacations visit sequoia national park. Crazy beautiful! Saw deer literally emerging from a big whole in the base of a giant tree. Literally unreal. Also Kodiak Alaska is gorgeous!
wow
Favorite vacation spot is Lisbon because of the massive aquarium with the Takashi Amano scape. It is the best place in the world.
oh yes!!! I would love to visit that place. Also Lisbon is a beautiful place itself
Every beach is my vacation spot 😤❤️
beaches r great
I'm gonna be that gross one and say that my favorite vacation spot is next to my SO and/or tending to my plants. Nothing/nowhere else resets my anxiety and gives me that rare dopamine hit.
yaaaaaaaas, as the keeper of huskies for a couple decades, I will point out that you need an eight foot impenterable fence, a B I G yard, or a bike and a sledding harness so you can mush down the trails an hour a day...
otherwise they eat the couch...
Favorite vacation spot is Breckenridge CO in January or February. Skiing, snowboarding, tubing and some of the most beautiful views just about anywhere you look
Going back to visit my family in Hawaii, but otherwise camping at various national parks on a cross country trip in 2018 was very fun too.
awesome!
that marimo moss ball looked like one of the artificial alternatives they have now. Because of zebra mussel larva being found in imported ones they are banned for import to the US and likely also Canada as zebra mussels are invasive.
New Zealand is my favorite vacation country - the scenery completely changes in a 2 hour drive in any direction.
So much outdoorsy stuff to see & do!
would be cool to visit one day
Just got back from Rome, it was cool but hit up an aquarium shop in Ireland on the way that was chefs kiss.
I personally love going to Lake Balaton every once in a while
It doesn't quite replace sea shores, but the lakeside is still plenty room for some great times!
nice
so glad this vid blessed my monday
glad to hear it
Made me go hug my huskies and promise them i wont ever keep them like that lol.
This morning I was on my phone waiting for the ftr btw Love your videos keep up the great work
ty!
I went to cura coa ( sorry for the bad spelling) for scuba diving a few weeks ago and it was amazing I saw beautiful coral reefs and a giant variety of fish many of which were very poisonous. Such as puffer fish (the size of a football) and scorpion fish. It was really cool and had some of the best diving and snorkeling I have ever seen. Their were at least 200 different species hiding around an oil rig (was being fixed for a long time according to our dive instructor). Which was really sketchy because I turned the corner around one of the pipes (in the shadows by a 300 foot drop off with nothing to see) and saw the giant puffer fish 2 feet ahead of me. What was sad though was the dead coral beds on the bottom of the reef. It makes you realize how badly we are damaging the environment. I also wish I brought a under water case for my phone so I could of gotten some pictures.
4:55 heavily planted tank..
Has not yet seen a MD fish video..
Bwo never left fff channel :)
Yeah, bettas are territorial so they definitely need bigger tanks for a larger range… although there’s one endangered species of Betta where it’s supposed to common for them to live in the crevices of palms during droughts… I still wouldn’t recommend containing them in small tanks.
Rarotonga gotta be my favourite vacation spot as a fish keeper. Was snorkeling every day and swimming with turtles!
cool!
Epic Rap Battles of History. CHIRS of Fish for Thought versus Clint of Clint's Reptiles ... BEGIN!
6:09 DO YOU NOT REMEMBER THAT TANK 🥹💀💀💀
My vacation spot is infront my fish tank when I'm not at work
hahaha good answer
Another Monday, another FTR🎉
yessir
All other days of the week are just time spent waiting for Monday and another FTR.
Favourite vacation spot? I'd like to go various places but the best place to chill out for me is anywhere in the Dutch province of Drenthe countryside. It's where my roots are and the people are so chill.
If I were ever to have a fish shop and breed fish commercially, I'd want one in an old Saxon farm house.
Few weeks ago I was at a pancake restaurant in Aalden, I'd like a place like that! I would take plenty safety and insulation measures though. Thatched roofs and all of those electrics with the tanks inside, you know. Fish tanks where they used to have cows.
7:28 Funny you mention them looking like lobsters. These are actually called squat lobsters!
I heard they are not actually lobsters though but yeah
Chaotic-neutral pleco, lol
Jeez I forgot it was Monday almost missed it, well how are you chris? My cycle crashed I did to big of a water change ): the struggles of a fish keeper, hope your having a good day!!!
ah yes the classic cycle crash! hang in there
I am going to get a 20 gallon fish tank. I love this content keep it up.
Those crabs are actually squat lobsters ...
This is not a joke, it's their real name.
that betta in the first clip looks like a "king betta," aka a giant betta, because they get to be lorge bois.
the crabs are called squat lobsters, they're neat lil dudes
I have two 75 gallons next to each other too. Been thinking about an aqua bridge but not sure if the neocaradina would like it when some of the barbs come to visit.. 🤔
lmao! that is an issue for sure
Those ‘crabs’ look like squat lobsters.
I don't like to go on vacation I rather stare at my fish tanks XD
great vacation
Anywhere near the ocean...
Thank you for asking!
great!
I love starting my morning with this. favorite vacation is baraboo wi
cool!
QOTW. I am an avid camper and love it just about anywhere. I also love the night sky when I can get far enough away from light pollution. I live next to a national park and that is my favorite spot for now.
AOTW: Are you kidding?! I have pets. Many of them are rather exotic and require lots of special care. The only one which could travel is the goose. She love to sit in whatever moves and watch out the window. Everyone else isn't quite as mobile. The turtle is a fully aquatic species, and rather large, being as big around as a pie pan. None of my other critters are any more mobile than that, so for those which a vet can treat, the vet comes to me, not the other way around. I also use various specialist vets rather than one small animal vet. Small animal vets are generally kind of clueless when it comes to much of anything other than cats and dogs, so I have an avian specialist vet, a reptilian specialist vet, and even a DVIM (vet specializing in fish). I also run a wild bird rescue, and will also take a few other small animals, and all of that is done with a view toward eventual release back into the wild. All of that takes a lot of time, and at this time of year when people are bringing in lots of babies, it's a constant cycle of keeping everybody fed on schedule.
I used to go out to my tiny little cabin in the woods in the summer, but I got put in a wheelchair by a drunk driver, and that little cabin is definitely not wheelchair friendly, so I had to sell it. Now I couldn't go too it even if I could walk because the needs of the critters take up my every waking moment. I suppose in a way, I'm living a permanent vacation, because I really love what I do. I love spending time with my non-human friends, and there isn't much that I could do from a wheelchair which would provide me with as much as I get from the dear little critters in my life. When I'm not working with them, I'm reading everything I can get my hands on about them, or creating environments for them which will assure that they are living their best life. Sometimes you have to get really creative. All animals which have something bigger than a notochord need some sort of enrichment to keep their little minds busy. That's as important as food, though most people don't realize that. I'm no longer roaming the forests and mountains of BC anymore, or kayaking the world's white water rivers anymore, and at first that was really tough. But I've found something else to do with my life which is incredibly fulfilling and enjoyable, and is more or less a vacation in and off itself. I'm kinda like, what would I rather be doing? The answer is always, "nothing. I'm living the dream." Or at least my dream.
chris posts these videos on tuesday school time for me
oh dang!
Fav vacation spot would be bodega bay for the camping!! Went there a lot as a kid
wow!
Yo it's me, Chuckle Cheesecake! I swear I love my snails I post all the time in the discord that my female, Flower, will hang out on my hand 😭
The eggs are a small price to pay for my darling little critters
my favorite vacation spot is home
lol todays vid was good! Vacations spot? Hmmm. 🤔 what’s a vacation?!?
oh no xD same tho I haven't taken one in like4 years
My favorite vacation spot is either camping or islands
4:00 i said suicide 🤣
New song in the credits! Now we need a greatest hits album.
Love your videos! Keep it up 💓
tyty!
Its actually crazy to me how so many ppl think its ok to put dogs in crates for extended times and then claim its ok because they like it there. Just because you trained them to accept it, doesnt mean its not cruel. They need activity and freedom to roam. If you cant provide that then you shouldnt have the privilege to own a dog. Applies for fishes, and pretty mush all animals.
crate ok for short periods of time/ during emergency/ people who come over and are allergic/ before your dog is finished being trained esp if they are aggressive and people come over
MY DOO DOO BROWN COLORLESS SHRIMP ARE NOT DOO DOO BROWN...
I'm doing a Science: various shrimp colors create wild type, wild type washed with red, black with camo stripe, deep chocolate with camo stripe (down the dorsal/back so they look like a rando piece of plant). Also it's fun to play "where's Waldo" and find the colorful shromp.
I have family in Door County - Wisconsin, It's super nice there. I've visited a few times. So I guess I would say there.
Fav vacation spot: my home!
QOTW: Anywhere with good fish, fossil hunting, or both. Caspersen, Florida, and almost anywhere in Montana are great places for both
Chris, you may think you're the best host, but I'm not sure the FTR crew would agree...
Muy Buenos Dias everyone!! Wishing all a super radical week!!
QotW; I've never been on a proper vacay, but places I've always wanted to travel to are Costa Rica, India (specifically to see Scarlet Badis and Mud Skippers going native) and the EU.
Chris be calling my want for a husky out and making fun of the fact I can’t cuz my apartment is to small and I work to much 😭
Yes i agree betas should be treated better but somehow my aunt had a beta in a small tank w no filtartion lasted over 10 years
QOTW: Assateague Island National Seashore, east coast barrier island, US, MD and VA. Wild ponies, endangered species, and sometimes, just sometimes, fun snorkeling in the eelgrass beds.
Great vid keep it up..
tyty
Top of the morning to y'all!!!
top of the mornin
Fav vacation spot is Seyschells
my vacation spot will be easily Kota Kinabalu. being Singaporean, somewhat the best time to go is august (applies to taipei too) and i did see wildfires just this march, they burnt a whole hill to a crisp and the nearby shell gas station abandoned. Just at the countryside having some of the biggest ones. recommend to go to Tanjong Aru or Tuaran for their Shangri-La beach resorts are the best, both evenly matched since tuaran’s soft sand and easy find of seashells and sand dollars(legal to bring back 😂) including the stones from the poolside (legal too😂) i mean the poolside orders like 10 thousand rocks for decor and yes just watch out for sparrows, they starting clans to make a war and tanjong aru’s beautiful sunset pictures and the new vr room, friendly staff but yea this aint all.
The next one is Bangkok, stayed in eastin grand, buffet was delicious (their grilled river prawns sell out immediately) and somewhat its free and uh
just dont wear hotel room slippers and bathrobes.the travel was more than convenient since you got a train station just outside, no need to go out the hotel entrance. easy to get to siam paragon for good food and the aquarium at the basement. oh and its 1 hour slower singapore so rn is 8:41pm and for them is 7:41 pm (when i finished typing for bangkok) and street food good too. just try the maine lobster with cheese,delicious.
The last one is Taipei. Stayed in the W hotel (very expensive hotel but not very expensive), yet we get to go everywhere. Taipei 101 is just 2-3 blocks away, go sightseeing. Zoo was okay, just that the seats on the train ride to get to the other side of the zoo was extremely hot (i burned myself) just that dont go during june holiday ok we went while knowing got typhoon :( oh and uhh only airport at taipei so if u want to go to tai chung, just have a 3 hour drive or smth. thats all :]
did i mention that I GOT AN ISOPOD PLUSHIE ALONG THE WAY TOO AND GOT TWO 7/11 CONVENIENCE STORE WAH TOO CONVENIENT ALREADY *singlish activated*
My favorite vacation spot is a lake back where my mom lives. It’s 100% preserved as in no houses or motor boats. It’s called Rifle River Rec Area in Michigan. 10/10 beautiful and clean water. That or Rhode Island I will admit I love my seafood
Yummy yum! I love seafood too. Problem is I can't eat it at home because that would be too much like eating kids in front of my kid. Just can't do it for a whole lot of reasons.
@@Chompchompyerded Haha I can understand. My favorite thing I have had in Rhode Island was oysters that were being farmed by the restaurant and I don't keep shellfish of that nature haha.
sadly the nerites leave egg trails everywhere and their eggs are way harder to remove. they leave little white spots all over your rocks and wood, i only use amano shrimp and otos for algae cleanup now
@ 0:57 mins. Look at the ventral fins being long, red with a white tip... It is a male Betta, a Betta Plakat.... Hard to see on a laptop screen what the size is, it looks like a King Betta or a Giant Betta to me....
Hello Chris :)
Lol my 5 mysteries over the year have had about 200 spawn and now I have 20 adults that have just spawned, 2/6 off the egg clusters have hatched and I am happy to soon be having more food for my fish to munch on and the assassin snails to see how many reach adulthood
Always got fft waiting for me after the worst day of the week
Did you see father fish dropped a video recommending keeping bettas in jars because "in the wild they live in puddles"
Yeah, that was the only one of his videos I saw. I watched it on a recommendation, after hearing good things about him. I did not watch more
I agree with him with a lot of stuff! I don't agree with him on that take with betta being in jars haha.
@@FishForThought I found it ironic that he justified keeping them in jars because they live in puddles but then proceeded to show a puddle bigger than most people's fish tanks
Love ur videos ❤u got me into fish keeping
awesome to hear that!
Omg you changed the SONG!
Where do you get the fish bridges from and what keywords do you need to search for it with? I was looking for one a while ago but didn’t have any luck with finding them for sale anywhere I looked online so I think I must’ve been using the wrong search terms or maybe they’re all custom made by the people that own those fish tanks? I like the idea you had for maybe connecting two 75 gallon aquariums with a fish bridge and I think it would turn out amazingly and it would hopefully avoid the problem of having too much water weight on the floor surface per square foot like I think the bigger standard size tanks have to either be on a cement slab foundation first floor or in the basement because the second floors of houses aren’t built to hold that much water per square foot unless they’ve been specifically structurally reinforced, also the really big tanks look like they would be difficult to get home at all and getting them into the house and into place without dropping and breaking them would be really difficult and they’re also way more expensive too than the slightly shorter length smaller ones would be if I just got two of those ones. I forgot to say my favourite holiday is usually to stay at a rented cottage in Ontario cottage country or over in Quebec on a motor boats prohibited lake surrounded by a forest with some of my extended family, or camping at the various national and provincial parks, it gives us the chance to relax together and catch up on how everyone is doing and I really like canoeing and watching the animals in nature and swimming if it gets too hot but I also really like that sort of vacation because it very rarely gets too hot because of the wind off of the lake and the shade from the forest makes it feel cooler and it’s usually pretty quiet too and we can usually barbecue and have a campfire if the fire danger is low enough too which is also really nice.
my science teacher had the exact same shelf with a bowl of guppies. I thought he knew the nitrogen cycle.
it's tuesday for me lmao
I’m getting a small tank for a pretty betta. My dream would be a large tank with some discus fish!
QOTW answer West Coast of Canada. Being a prairie boy, the coast always amazes me.
