Today, I woke up to some surprising baby corys in my tank, now I can watch a new episode of ftr. This really can't get any better.
Congratulations!
On accident?
@@frostberrytherainwing1485 yes
that's so awesome, breeding cories!
Congrats 🍾
Uranium glass (aka Depression glass) is super popular because it glows under UV! Usually clear or pale green in normal light but can be any color. Not dangerous as long as it's not broken though I don't use my collection. I have a few pieces myself and I would LOVE a fish bowl - for decorative use, DUH!
would be a pretty cool project to make a big tank and put glowfish in maybe?
Came here to talk about that depression glass :) it’s honestly so cool. I think the post was simply referring to the shape rather than actually using it as a fish tank
I know you weren't suggesting it, but outlining it here for anyone thinking to make an aquarium out of uranium glass: Don't. Although normal uranium glass pieces aren't dangerous to humans, I still wouldn't put small animals in it for their entire lifetime. I mean, it's not recommended to eat food off of them for humans. Most people collect them as display only. It is recommended to test pieces with a geiger counter, just to be safe, as most pieces are fine, but there's been a rare few found that ran pretty "hot" on the scale and it's better to know than assume they're all harmless.
That said, there's also non-radioactive depression glass that also glows under UV lights (each glow different colors, it's a major topic in uranium glass groups if they "count" or not towards your collection) and those could be interesting for an aquarium if you found a piece large enough, and the glass didn't seep any of its chemicals into the water.
When you get 3 eyed fish can I get one?
Hulk fish.
To whomever made that goldfish tank…. I appreciate what you did for those under appreciated fish. It’s a beautiful palace. Bravo 👏
It's my husbands and mine, thank you so much!
@@kelsycleveland6167 you are both very welcome
Aww this pea puffer is so cute :) They are really one of a kind :)
they truly are!
@@FishForThought I love my murder beans 💜
Ah the weekly FTR keeps me company every Monday and reminding me that Monday is still fun 🙂👍 also man that pea puffer is a start of a villan origin story
@@FishForThought he takes revenge
@@FishForThought pea purfer
I got monstera recently, and I just recently learned it drips water from its leaves through a process called guttation. Also, my grandparent's betta tank keeps getting algae blooms. I want to bring over my water test kit to see the parametres, but I think it's mostly a filter problem. They have a Tetra Whisper filter. Lights turn on at 9:00 am and off and around 8:30 am. Some live plants.
It's the lights. Even if you meant 8:30 pm, that's way too long. 6 to 8hrs is appropriate.
@@sammygirl6910 Would a new filter help too? My tank used to have lights on from around 7:00 am until when I got into bed, and nothing liked their algae blooms ever happened to my tank. (My lights are now on a proper timer)
yes the lights are way too long!
It's not necessarily the filter but likely the media too. A good filter has space for media and has good flow
@@tryagain3618 it has zero flow basically.
Beautiful goldfish tank! I love how it brings out the goldfish.
I love pygmy cories. I have a school in my platy fry grow out tank to keep the load small and so they eat mainly detritus worms if any while fry stick to my copepod/daphnia colonies. Cool symbiotic relationship
I read an old book called Zoe's Zodiac when I was younger where a little girl basically gets a new pet each month, but she is told to let her two betta fish fight every once in a while to keep them healthy. Even when I was little that sounded crazy to me, its a horrible message for kids or anyone else reading.
Depression glass is glassware made in the Great Depression, and they didn't realise how dangerous uranium was, they just thought it would be pretty and glowy, so you end up with loads of this slightly dangerous glowy old glass. Collectors keep it in containers, but for some reason it's popular!
Definitely a bad idea for a fish even if it wasn't a crappy bowl...!
I have a couple pieces of uranium glass. Not an expert on the stuff, but my research on it seems to indicate that the radiation exposure from it is very low, something like 10% of normal background radiation exposure.
I probably still wouldn't keep live animals in/around it, but it's not particularly dangerous.
@@crazjtk the main issue was for the makers. There was a case of women painting glow in the dark watch faces with uranium based paint and because they would lick their brushes they all ended up with mouth/jaw bone cancer.
With radiation exposure, it can build up over time. I imagine having a couple pieces won't be more than a a few milliseverts, so unless you're wearing it as jewelry or living in it as a fish, it's safe enough ☺️
ty for bit of a history lesson! did not know that
@@teoz21 The paint was radium. Not only is radium extremely radioactive, the body confuses it for calcium and it accumulates in the bones. When decaying it releases radon, a radioactive gas. It's a really un-fun element.
@@feuerling Yeah, they loved radium as well! It was the hip medical trend for a while, even used it for suppositories! There were even Radon "baths" like a steam room where you could take in the "healing" of radon. The history of radiation etc really makes you wonder how the human race managed to survive that long 😂
My goldfish are complete Jerks around feeding time. Smh. They dart up to the food at the top, take a flake and then dart away like mom just caught them raiding the cookie jar, not before splashing A LOT of water at me. Not to mention one time I stuck my finger in the tank during a water change to make sure it wasn't getting to cold and my fish swam up and BIT ME. LIKE BRO, I FEED YOU. IM NOT YOUR FOOD. I GIVE YOU FOOD. they now have a piece of paper on the glass listing their assult charges. Smh. Such jerks.
I LOVE PEA PUFFERS, my Mom and I used to keep them. I tried so hard to breed them(always failed, I was also only like 15 lol). That was years ago tho. Maybe I should try again(at keeping not breeding lol) Sweet babies 😗
U know that uranium fish bowl probably is something that is actually made with uranium. It was really popular back then to have neon green Glas and they put uranium in everything back then since they didn’t knew about the dangers of it and they’re also had vases and stuff made from this uranium Glas. Oh and sometime in history they even got uranium toothpaste :)
Bettas are still called Fighter fish here in Sweden (the swedish name is Kampfisk which is the literal translation)
I love green uranium glass. It glows in black light and is beautiful. My only issue is that bowl is small. I really think anyone curious enough to look into the glass will be pretty entertained by this unique era glass
I have some rosy red minnows in a 10 gallon tank with a nerite, and a Bladder snail, some spider wood, and the biggest piece of moss I have ever seen... they all seem really happy
After pondering which day of the week is my favourite, I came to realize just how short a week is and how even shorter a year is. I think I'm getting old😱
u and me both...
Uranium glassware is actually decently sought after. It’s relatively safe if you properly care for it
ok Criss the fish tank is uranium glass is glass which has had uranium, usually in oxide diuranate form, added to a glass mix before melting for coloration or in lames terms its a small amount of ground uranium the put in glass so it becomes florescent this is surprisingly safe because of the such small amount of radiation. and fun fact did you know that in WW.II on the dials and gauges of most aircraft and watches were laced with uranium paint so they could see them at night before a light weight light source was invented like LED lights which is commonly used today and Depression glass (transparent or semitransparent pale green) is another name for uranium glass dont ask how I know all this stuff
Wow that depression glass would be cool, as a collectible. Like a lot antiques, its sought after because it was bad quality not good, and so its hard to complete a set these days. It was like a free incentive gift from theatres and such, to get people out of the house and spending money during the depression.
Uranium Glass isnt dangerous but was very popular in the 1920s-1940s. Its expensive cause its an antique. They make great art pieces not so great fishbowls XD that ancient thing is probably haunted by the ghosts of murdered fish past.
That little pea puffer is so cute, i was under the impression that they could only be kept a in species only tank though, is this not the case? 🤔
You can, depends on the individual puffer as well but I’ve had one with ember tetras successfully. Still a good idea to have a backup plan.
@@edwardzhang5142 Cool that's good know
You think this is bad. My worst fish-keeping experience was when my mom got this bigger-than-average fish bowl from someone who was moving out of the city. In that bowl, there were two gouramis, two guppies, two angel fish, two something(it was a total of 10 fish 5 pairs of random species), and last but not least a pleco. My mom used to be like i should take care of those fish. i was 13 and that bowl gave me so much stress just by looking at it. I didn't keep a fish for 3 years after that.
3:27 gold fish eat almost EVERYTHING in a planted tank! It's very difficult keeping them in a planted tank and most goldfish keepers don't even try with plants. Sometimes not even anubias survive these water piggies! My guys munch down on many of my anubias new leaves, especially my coffeefolia!
I am saying this as a person with a fully planted tank that has 6 goldies in it.... But they are all babies and 3 are tiny babies. 4 of them are going into a pond soon and will be bothering my dojo loaches no more! The other two are pearlscales. I'm just hoping my little ping pongs don't decide to eat my plants when they get bigger. If they do they may have to get a job to pay me back. I have crypt flamingos in that tank.
That pufferfish didn't even try,The tetra simply swam in and took the bloodworm so casually.
Uranium glass fish tanks were actually super popular during the Victorian era. That's probably a super old bowl.
Uranium glass is probably called depression glass because it was made during the Great Depression. It's not actually dangerous as long as you don't break it, though most people keep it on display only (under UV light as that's how you get that green glow). It probably was not very healthy for those poor glass blowers to make it though...
you really don't see naturalistic goldfish tanks much. i know we tried plants multiple times, but the fish wouldn't let them grow
one thing that pisses me off, on the online store i buy aquarium stuff on, you can buy a nice 20l (5g) aquarium for 99,99 (blank) or a tiny like 0.5l (idk how much gallons) for around 250 (blank)
That uranium glass bowl is a steal at that price .
all of that countries must be right. Hi from Singapore. lol the pea puffer is indeed so expressive. cute! thanks for the weekly update without fail. Monday is not so blue with FTR.
I'm jealous of repashy she's always chillin on the mic :(
I'm sorry that you want to be the one chilling on the mic. Maybe if you ask Chris REALLY nicely.
Wow! Super throw back with the ancient Peter Chao reference lol
Depression Era glass is actually pretty sought after but not for kitchen use, they're collectable because during the great depression, American companies used whatever they had like glass high in lead (blueish tint) and glass high in uranium which has a very slight green tint until its put under uv light (I could be wrong about the light spectrum to achieve this effect) then it gets that glowing neon look to it, and I do believe it is mildly radioactive because every collection I've seen is very isolated. Absolutely insane to think about putting a fish in that thing though my God that's inhumane
At this point Chris' lizard is taking over FTR
Pea Puffer: Now, how should I eat this...
Lemon Tetra: Like this! *inhales bloodworm*
Pea Puffer: Ah... How "educational"...
That fish bowl is from the depression era (1920’s?) and is radioactive. They are sought after by collectors but they are not meant for fish housing obvs.
My favorite day of the week is any day that it’s “Feeding Day” for our turtle’s tank.
Pea puffers are some of my favourite fish. I love the fact they have such big teeth and have to ware them down like Guinie pigs + I like Friday
So from antiquing and visiting estate sales I can tell you that collectors actually really love uranium glass. It looks like plain green glass normally but if you put it under a black light it glows. Do not recommend eating / drinking / putting fish in uranium glass though 😂
Nice video this week 👍 really enjoyed watching it on my work break.
Part of the week is seeing some fish tanks reviewed after reviewing tanks at works but not befor reviews of my own tanks 😇🐢
I go to antique stores a lot, and back in the day, people used to make a lot of dishes and decor using uranium glass because of the green color. I would not advise using them, they're just for display. You know, radiation
6:43 No it's not a joke... Uranium glass is rare and sought after
Usually found in marbles or vases. Never seen a fish bowl tho🤦♀️🤦♀️... And yes they're mildly radiative.
Favorite day of the week: Sunday... sleep in and do tank maintenance on all my tanks! 💚🌱🌿🐟
Love your channel man watched like 2 years ago and recently I've caught all the way back up to now!
That pea puffer's expression was so funny
Saturday. Definitely my favourite day of the week. Great video
I have a tank that is overrun with Ramshorn Snails....so I bought a peapuffer, he is so fat now XD
When you hardscape soo much that your 10 gallon becomes a 5 gallon
On holidays. Watching this x getting my fix
I'm literally on Tiktok doing the work of the Fish God's making as many videos as I can to show that Betta's belong in 10 gallon and UP ⬆️ (UP meaning bigger) tanks! Posting my Betta's in planted tanks, no puke gravel allowed!
Thursday has been my favorite of the week
When I'm ignoring my algae and people come over, I show them my good looking tank(s) and tell them to pretend the other tank(s) doesn't exist.
Not me repetitively restarting your channel waiting for u to post…..
bro facts
Pufferfish: Ooh! A snack-
*Not today.*
The longfin oscar is an Oscar who doesn't mind a planted tank, which I'm jealous of, looks like it's with a severum, also, the just moved a while back and I'm glad the oscar isn't all mopey anymore lol
Watching this man's video just makes ur day better especially on your birthday
Happy birthday!!!
happy birthday!
Some great tanks this week!
4:55 I’m surprised man has plant sun that tank with a Serverum. At the store I work at we have a pair of them in a display and they eat every plant we put in there.
oh chris i meant to say! we finally bought a shrimp tank:)) we got a massive glass jar, and i think we’re gonna put some mountain minnows in it too, i missed keeping fish
I don't think my parents approve of me doing a 500 gallon planted tub for fancy goldfish
Mondays are my fave day! 😍
i believe i am the only aussie that watches your videos the whole country is missing out.
0:21 omg me too!
The pea puffer is so adorable.
QOTW: Saturday!
You know when your eating chips and then just leave and when you come back you see your sibling or friend just finishing it
I never thought the day would come where chris reviews my meme. Lets gooo
4:20
Never knew there were,Long fin Oscars🤯🥳Always Learning,From Ya😍Thank You,Chris👍
6:31 I think I understand what’s going on here. Back in the early 20th century when uranium was still this cool new thing, people went a bit crazy with it and put it basically everything since it glows in the dark. I think this fish bowl is an example of one of this phenomenon. I could be wrong though, but this is my best guess.
Edit: Did some more digging and apparently Depression Glass is a very real thing. It refers to a type of glassware that was made during the Great Depression era that was much cheaper to manufacture and came in a wide variety of colors, including some pieces made with uranium that would glow under UV light. Apparently this type of glassware is worth quite a bit of money with the color pink being worth up to a couple hundred dollars a piece. The more you know.
ALMOST 300k chris rlly has come a long way
If uranium glass is rare then my parents must have most of the worlds supply because it ain’t rare at their place
Also depression because it’s from the Great Depression when we had discovered uranium but not yet found out other uses so it was used to make green glass that glows under UV light
Thanks for the shoutout to Singapore Chris:)
I think I've watched atleast 20 fish tank review episodes in 2 days
FTR is my favorite part of monday :) Always the best way to start my week!
aw ty
One of the few things that make mondays easier
I thought today would never come 😴 Finally!
Damn the fish in the thumbnail have some really big eyes
I like Mondayssssss because it’s ma PRODUCTIVITY UP THROUGH THE ROOOOOOOFFFFFFF day.
6.33 it used to be the coolest stuff in the 1920s
Going to have to put this video on pause- getting my hands wet while my fish are trying to get sucked into my siphon. As I suck they come right over like “water slide?” NO! lol so I need to focus:(
You all ready know the tank is small when it tips over out of nowhere
I thought something was off when I realized it was not Monday and the video was only 43 seconds long. HUH?🤔
That was a Severum not a parrot cichlids in the Oscar tank!
Sundays because I get fish in at my job and I get to watch you about 6 hours after
Luckily people just collect that radioactive glass for some reason. So hopefully it'll go into a display cabinet with a black light rather than be used to house fish. But i can see a glow fish weirdo going nuts over this lol
Happy FFTday 🤗
fftday!!
My favorite fish is the Corey too :)
5:06 is a gold/red severum cichlid

people collect uranium glass. its pretty cool stuff really. only mildly radioactive. Wouldnt put a fish in it but it would be a cool collectible
3:41 Mosteras need a lot of sun light, and when I say a lot than I mean a lot. They are something for rooms with big windows and so. In places with less light they will stay small
Mine lives near a south facing window and has 3 leaves 🙄
ooo, they do well in direct sunlight too?
I like mondays rn but only because I don’t have to work them for the summer. Set schedules for the win.
When I set up my new tank it’s going to have like 4 albino Cory cats
It's Tuesday here in Australia
I luv tuesdays now coz in Australia ftr comes out on Tuesday
can def tell when people dont know anything about uranium glass lmao. i want that bowl and ill put my other glowy rocks and things inside it
Rocknoodles.
I recently got a blue crayfish, he’s doing well and loves to explore around his tank. :)
Rocknoodles
I'm finally going to adding tannins into my 20 gal long! Elizabeth Finn (betta) is going to be my first fish to have tannins!
FTR reminda us that it is indeed Monday. Thank you bro Chris 🌱
I finally managed to catch one early :)
