No water change aquariums. Is that possible? (If water change is necessary let's say 1 water change per year)
Please help my fish is swimming weirdly, like it has a broken spine or something. It doesn't look like a bacterial infection, more like an injury
I've made a (quite bad quality) video of her, i think you should watch it
):
R u joking?
Hi John and Lisa, I was wondering what type of rock did you use in the 5 gallon aquatop scape. It’s looks awesome!
Hey John, can not beliebe I started watching you 1o years ago! Time flies. Congratz on all success.
John, I always read your video titles with your voice in my head 🤣...Unless it's Lisa in the thumbnail of course loll.
I love your videos. Continue. Good work
Sameeee
I love watching your videos a lot. Of course, can't afford even one tank of what you own. 😂
Ha ha I never realized I do the same thing with everyone lol.
Wow md I love your videos!
So glad to see the Celestial Danio in the tank! Everything turned out so beautifully, I’m very excited to see both of the tanks mature!
Anyone else love the look of nano fish in larger aquariums, in big schools?
Definitely I am planning to set up a 55 gallon dirted tank with only nano fish and tons of plants.
@@lisaeaton2029 fun idea I want to do the same
While most of these fish are good for beginners, I think the ember tetras are one of the best, because they're so darn hardy!
One thing I have to mention, Cardinal Tetras are on the breaking point with 4-5 in numbers. They will be skittish at this low of numbers. Put them into a small tank like that and they will be really skittish. I had a school slowly dwindle in numbers over the years and reach that point. They were always hiding in the back of the tank behind plants. I brought their numbers up from 4 to 12 and they are confident once more. When I come near the tank to say hello, they come running to return the greeting. Oh, and they are in a 20 gallon planted tank.
I did months of research before stocking my flex 9gal. Ended up with 6 harlequin rasboras that are doing great.
John, it is so fun when you are pumped up! I love both of your tanks and stocking choices. I am real excited to see what you do with those Pea Puffers!! 🥰
Hey John and Lisa! Could you do a video of The Top 5 Nano Aquarium Plants? Love your channel!
That's a great idea!
@@KGTropicals thank you!
Fun choices you both made. Excited to see what you do with those pea puffers!
I also have CPDs. They are in a 20g with Em ER Tetras and Emerald Dwarf Rasboras (my mini tigers.) When I redid my son's tank I got an assortment of Endlers. I'm hooked on these fish. I have been debating on breeding them.
Beautiful tanks John and Lisa! Looking forward to seeing your aquascaping journey.
I moved from Baltimore MD out west in middle school. I remember going to this store as a child!! So awesome to see it years later. Honestly this store may be where I saw my first cool fish and inspired me years later to start my own tanks. Awesome to see it featured frequently on one of my favorite aquarium youtube channels!
These tanks look amazing. Both of you did a great job
Thank you APSS
House of Tropicals is my all time favorite store! Probably have purchased fish and accessories from there for over 40 years now
I love that feeling when you find something new within a hobby you love so much. I know that feeling. Look forward to the videos.
love the breaking bad figures!
I absolutely love my endlers! Been breeding them for over a year and they’re such an amazing fish with awesome personalities💚
Brilliant stocking ideas John. I keep nano tanks so I'm steered towards the endlers. Such active little fish with beautiful colours. Also love the chilis, not so keen on the cpds
Also the colors they have can transfer so coolly so if you accidentally breed them you can make your own morphs
@@realfishscience7842 interesting, thank you for the information Radu😊
@@alisonnicholson bro I’ve been making my own lineage of endlers specifically for my nano tanks and to shill them to my friends ;P
@@realfishscience7842 that's great Radu 👍😊
Alison, CPDs aren't my style either, but have you seen the Danio Erythromicron? They are Fabulous!
This was extremely helpful and great timing since I need some fish for my 5 gallon. Thank you so much!
Hi. 😊 No fish in the world should live in only 5 gallons. In my opinion, only shrimp and snails go in this size. Maybe a Betta but even that is almost too small.
For the sake of the animals you should reconsider.
@@SFO815 I mean you are intitled to your own opinion. But just remember not everyone has the space and money to be able to have a bigger tank. If I had the money then I would buy a much bigger tank but I dont. Also i'm 14 so dont have a job and its a beginner tank.♥
@@_Leach I really understand what you mean. But not having a lot of money should not be the explanation for keeping fish in a too small tank. You don't want to live in a shoe box either. 😉 Do not forget. We're talking about living beings. Don't do to animals what you wouldn't want done to yourself. Maybe you're thinking about shrimp. Neocaridina are available in all colors, are robust, breed well and are also suitable for small tanks. I highly recommend them.
@@SFO815 'not having a lot of money should not be the explanation for keeping fish in a too small tank.' If your saying that not having enough money for a bigger tank is not a valid reason I dont know what is! If I were a fish I would love to live in a 5 gallon tank! I only have 6 chili rasboras and a tiger snail in there.
Great to see fish in your 2 tanks!! Both look super and am glad you are giving us some videos like this with scapes and fish to enjoy and look forward to more!!!! Great fish store!!! K
Thrilled to see the endlers!!! My favorite-always busy and so beautiful!! Shrimp are my other fav!
So pumped to see you shouting out local fish shops! Was just at House of Tropicals last month to get fish for my own nano tank, I love it there!
And I have to mention Lisa's tank! The aquascaping is stellar! And your cpds are so cool! They're actually on my list of nano fish to go in my 20 gallon long as soon as it's cycled. It's only been about 4 weeks so I've got to wee bit to go! Thank you for the inspiration!
Congratulations to both of you!
Great projects,
Jim
I’m enamored by aquascaping way more than fish anymore! I’ve been working on a 29 gallon (my first try at scaping) and it’s frustrating. I planned it out before starting, have it half done and now I’m changing my mind and want to do things differently. It’s a process for sure!
always a good day when kgtropicals uploads
I have pea puffers in my 10 gallon tank and they ARE adorable! You'll get a lot of fun with these tiny googly-eyed guys)
I lived in Catonsville, MD for about 4 years.
House of Tropicals was always my absolute favorite store to visit. I’d go several times a month, even if I wasn’t purchasing anything.
I’ve seen moved back to Kansas City and nothing compares. It’s absolutely the best aquatic store I’ve ever been to. I wish we had something similar in KC.
Nice video guys love yall so much ❤
In mine I have male guppies and male Endlers. They’re so lively and fun. A few shrimp too and it’s perfect
I have one male guppy with four male Endlers. Their colouration is similar, and they all play together.
Wow what an awesome video guys, i’m thinking of getting some celestial Pearl Daniels myself
:)
You'll definitely got me wanting to do a nano planted tank for the first time. Quick question how is the light on the aqua top as far as the plants go? Good bad in between?
Our plants are doing extremely well with these lights.
Cant wait to see what you do with pea puffers. Been wanting to make a pea puffer tank. Your nano tanks are beautiful!
Love ya channel n content, information,advice, appreciate you sharing all that with everyone,cheers from New Zealand.
Beautiful tanks you both scaped. Love the cpd’s and the chili rasbora fish you picked out Lisa. I too have them. Both a larger school/shoal of them together with my Neocaridina shrimp.
Who else has dreamt that they were cheap Pearl Danios / Galaxy Rasboras. AND KEEPING 500 IN A 100 GALLON!
6:30
Endler's like a little salt in the water to really pop their colors. I kept mine in a brackish setup and they thrived.
The Aquatop aquariums are great. The filter output can be to much for some fish liked Bettas. I cut a rectangular piece of course filter media and attached to outlet. Perfect way to slow the flow! Also the LED light on the 5 gallon can be distracting if your sitting across the room from aquarium. I put a strip of black tape on light as a curtain. Works great! To cut down on brightness I covered a few LEDs. Looks amazing!
Привет 🖐️ с разводни аквариумных рыбок из Ташкента 🖐️. Дружеский лайк от моего канала 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for making this video! I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with the Pea Puffers. I'm thinking about getting one of those! Currently prepping some smaller tanks.
Zebra Danio are One of my Absolute favorite Fish!! Yet I'd prefer them in a 10 or 20 gallon!! I had a few Zebra Danio in a 20 gallon and I fell in love with them Very quickly, Zebra Danio have such Wonderful Personalities and are beautiful fish!!!! 💚🤍💙
Some great choices of fish loved how the tanks and plants ware looking. Keep us updated. Superb ideas for nano tanks. nice house plants too
Thank you Paul
House of Tropicals looks good 👍
Never had luck with Cardinal Tetras and Neon Tetras but I took your advice and got Danios and love them. Thank you.
I love the endlers! And I’m seriously considering getting pea puffers one day! They are so cute!
Hey John and Lisa yall could make another video like this but with bigger fish at skoolz of fish! I live right down the road from there so that would be awesome
I already did a while back. We definitely plan on going back sometime soon though.
Ok, can't wait!
Great choices! Love the scapes, too!
love tiny fish
Ive been going there since I was a child,, Mark, Mike and the staff are very helpful,, That was my son's first job while in HS. Awesome place
Love the tanks-would love to see how it was put together-What are the plants/substrate/rocks? Great choices of fish!
John. Love the pea puffers. Had a pair for a while and sold them to a couple that had been looking for puffers they could keep it their apartment. The fish, tank, substrate, filter, and heater oh and some decor. They still have them, it's been a year almost
If you are new to fish jelling and have nano tank. Just get guppies, comes in many colour
I've been thinking about CPD's! Are their stomachs supposed to look like that, though? They looked a bit sunken in, to me, but maybe that's because I'm more used to platys, for example...?
I was wondering the same thing.
Every time I go to an aquatics store I will now think "Who doesn't like fish shopping? .... HELLOOO!!"
Hah! Wooo nailed it. (OG list top guesses: #5 Harlequin Rasbora, #4 Scarlet Badis, #3 Clown Killifish, #2 Danios, #1 Pea Puffer). Love it and looking forward to seeing more of them.
Love all your planted tank set up in this video. They look so simple but so unreal. We can tell that the fish really enjoy lives in it.
I like House of Tropicals too 🤷🏽♀️😀
I go to House of Topicals all of the time. You're right, it is a great store. I've also dealt with that young lady several times. She's always very nice, knowledge and friendly just like all of the employees there. Maybe I will run in to you and Lisa some time there.
Those celestial pearl danios look hungry.
I watched your videos as a pre pubescent keeper. I’m finding the hobby again, and your videos
We LOVE House of Tropicals!!!! It’s our go-to place!!!
Wish I had a store like that nearby! Everytime I see white clouds in a video, I can't help but feel that cameras just don't do them justice. I have some in an aquarium with a black background, and the colors on them pop out so much more than pictures and videos may suggest.
I can't believe you can get to Glen Burnie in 2 hrs!! Of all the years we went to Annapolis & Baltimore, we never saw House of Tropicals! Ok, Lisa- we'll have to add H.o.T. to the list of places to visit with you! One of these days!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I love the tanks and your 'scaping jobs. The fish you picked are what I want to put in a big tank with my shrimp, some wood, and a bazillion plants! Thanks for sharing all of the great content today!! See y'all later!!
I found when keeping C. margaritatus Celestial pearl danio/galaxy rasbora that once the numbers dropped below maybe 5 or 6 they stopped doing okay. I started out with 8 or 9 and they did much better initially. They're shoalers rather than schoolers, and the males do tend to pick fights with each other and stress each other out. I strongly recommend keeping at least 8, preferably more. I think if I keep them again I want at least 10 to be safe. Fortunately they're so tiny you could do that in a 5.5gallon if you don't keep any other fish in there. Don't even reach an inch, and the bioload each fish puts on the tank is tiny. Buying 10 isn't cheap, just to warn you. They aren't super expensive for fish, but they're more expensive than a lot of small common species, and you do need a fair sized group to keep them happy.
Nice choices. A classic Betta cannot go wrong in those. However seeing others is great. I had shrimp in my tank. The water condition was fine, the A-hole Betta liked the snacks I got him.
I have to admit-I did a bit of a happy clap when I saw the CPDs in Lisa's nano. It was love at first sight for me with them, and I currently have seven of my own. I need to pick up a few more to even out the male/female ratio (I bought out what the fish store I got them from had, and there are more males to females) , but unfortunately none of the local places seem to carry them. Any suggestions on reputable places that carry them online by chance?
I might have to look into a few of the other nanos at some point when I get vacant room in one of my tanks (hopefully that won't be for a while for my current fishy residents' sake). The fancy endlers are especially adorable. A lot of local places tend to carry them, so I wouldn't have a hard time finding them at least!
On the tanks specifically-glad to see they still look as fantastic as they did during the setup videos. Looks like the new residents are very happy with the digs 😺👍🐟🐠💓
I love this place!!
I didn't know you were in the DMV area until i watched this video! I'm a total newbie and House of Tropics is my goto.
Hey just want to thank you ,i save 2 angels from a friend I had 5 gallon tank got a bigger tank got them some friends thank you for helping what fish are good with angels now I have gourami s plecos cat fish and loaches my first time haven fish all I learned came from you thankyou
I love House of Tropicals! If my LFS doesn't have what I need I trek to either there or That Pet Place in Lancaster. Not sure if you've been before but it would blow your mind!
CALATHEA! (Well, Geoppertia!) Also great choice of fish! I wish I could get pea puffers here but they are so expensive in Australia from what I've seen!
I'm hoping to bump into you and Lisa at the store ome day! These look amazing!
Lol, I KNEW you were going to end up with peapuffers. They are super adorable. I like all the fish you guys picked up. Looking forward to updates.
👍❤👍
I friggin' love Endler's! There are so manny colors and patterns to enjoy, they are not shy at all, and if given the room they are easy to breed since they don't eat their young if there's enough room and food for all of them. They also like nibling on algae, so that's handy if you tend to be a bit forgetful (do try to remember to feed your fish though!) On top of that they're also friendly community fish, I've personally been able to keep them with a beta.
My 10gal on my kitchen table has Cpds one ramshorn and cherry shrimp! I love it💜👍
The celestial pearls are underfed!!
I've started watching "fish videos" for 2 weeks now because I've always wanted to get a tank. To be honest, I clicked on "do not recomment this channel" when you came up.. Then as I watched and watched other youtubers, I came to realize that your videos have almost everything I'm looking for, especially since I'm a begginer. Now it is my favourite channel. Thank you for posting!!
I looooove White Clouds so much. Never really thought about them until you mentioned them months ago
the galaxy rasbora(CPD) and chilis are awesome...you may want to look for emerald dwarf rasbora as another nano fish or licorice gourami or sparkling gourami are also fun
Some of the most interesting things come in small sizes! Thanks for all the content!
Love Celestial Danios but be wary of the water level if u do not have a lid. i've had several jumpers
I love House of Tropics! It has been the best aquarium store in Maryland for over 30 years. Luckily I live 15 minutes down the road from H.O.T. Thanks for keeping up the great videos and content as always.
I can't wait to see what you've done with the aquascaping color me intrigued.
I loved this video! Lisa, your little tank with the celestial pearl danios is just lovely! Great job!
I want those celestial pearl danios 🤩😍
Yayyyyy!!! Peas!! Can't wait to see what you're going to do with them! Probably set up an amazing jungle tank? And your Endlers are stunning! I have a brand new 30-inch long 6 gallon tank rimless that was a gift. I set it up with shrimp aquasoil planning on maturing it for shrimp and then I thought oh my God I can't wait all those months just looking at an empty tank so I'm going to give it what 6 weeks or so? However long it takes to cycle and then I want to put these kind of endless in it too it's just an adorable tank and I love it and that's why I was particularly drawn to watching this video because even though my tank is 30 in long it's only 6 in wide and 8 in deep but it is awesome for nano fish! Keep up the great work I'm a true fan!
This is interesting! I'm planning on buying a tank of about 18 gallons (70 L), and the two species that I want in it is on this list, the Pearl Danios and the Endlers Livebearer. Plus some "Blue diamond" shrimp. I though about 8-10 of each would be plenty enough, but now I realize there is plenty of space for another kind of fish as well, as long as they too stay pretty small and cute. Any thoughts from anyone with more knowledge about the subject? Some neons would of course go well here, but I'd like something that you don't see in just about every tank, but still with some nice colors or patterns. Would appreciate some intput, thanks!
Bear in mind that if you get female Endlers they'll breed. And then you can easily end up wondering what to do with a colony of 100 endlers of varying sizes, so have a plan for what to do with the babies. Though I suppose the pearl danios may solve that issue by eating the baby endlers. Not sure how well the pearl danios will get along with the endlers - they're fast swimmers that are a lot bigger than the endlers and there's a possibly they might get nippy with the endlers fins if they're bored or don't have enough schoolmates. Or outcompete the shrimp for food. They will definitely eat baby shrimp. Endler's and shrimp do well together.
My Endlers are happily co existing in my fish pond with lots of very large goldfish. They are breeding like flies so if one or two get eaten, we don't notice. Cool little fish.
All right John 😉 looking forward to seeing your aquascape 👍 I hope it's a 40 gallon at least 😀
OH MY GOD WAIT ARE YOU IN MARYLAND I LIVE NEAR THERE I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS VIDEO
Just bought 5 White Clouds for my 5 gallon tank today. Great video!
You mention most All the amazing fishtuber i watch
Im excited because your aquascape video will be alil different than the other 😁
GOOOFFY NATURE FISH TANK 😄
My guess is pea puffers because the fish in that tank in house of tropicals swim like pea puffers and they look like pea puffers in the tub thingy
Love the nano tank videos, and this was a good one. I have to say Lisa had the best looking tank, but the Pea Puffers we're charming.
I really enjoy the videos you do showing and discussing fish, plants etc.
Nice scapes and great choice of fish
I have a Pea Puffer only tank so looking forward to seeing what you do with them.
I love planted nano tanks! So much fun
I KNEW IT! I KNEW THE FISH U WERE PUTTIN' IN! YES! LES GO
