man im so glad you live on the opposite side of the country. i would go broke in your shop. lol. id be the customer that never leaves. another great video.
+The PET Shed He actually gets them wholesale. These fish are from Guppy Train. He said in a later video that he will never say the name of the wholesaler
Finally somebody advertising snails. I've been in the hobby for 30 years now and the most stable tanks always have snails! Those tanks can run for ages and absorb minor issues on their own with those snails eating leftovers, dead fish, and they even buffer ph with their shells to a certain extent.
Thank you for saying something about the whole right vs. wrong mentality! One of my biggest gripes with the aquarium hobby has been the constant intolerance of any different schools of thought. An example that always seems to reappear is bettas. Now if you just do a quick look around google and you will be told that betta NEED a 10 gallon by one person, and then immediately after that someone will tell you they can live in a tea cup. Funny thing is, depending how you manage those environments, both answers are correct. Why some keepers feel compelled to bash on people, especially new keepers, is beyond me. If the fish look and act healthy, who cares about the tank. Thanks for being a positive force for change. We need more of that in the hobby.
Your little rants today are just what i needed to hear!! I am setting up a lot of new tanks and trying to make videos. Worried about my setups and my snail "problem", but after watching this video im pushing forward with my videos and the content i want to put out there. Im really proud of my fish and just want to show them off. Thanks again for another great video!!
Seriously learned so much from your real talk. I too think fish keeping is an art. I am learning by doing and really appreciate you for sharing your experience and knowledge with this newbie. Thanks Cory. I love guppies BTW
I have not found a single one of your videos that I haven't learned something from and been entertained! Guppies are my favorite although I have other varieties of fish. Trying to add more and more plants as I love planted tanks and I LOVE snails! I keep them in all of my tanks and try to get lots of different ones.
Nothing wrong with the more polished current videos of 2018. You and Jimmy do a great job on those. However, I really like the more impromptu vids like this one. Just a fish keeper and his fish room with a hand held camera. Cheers.
"I didn't mean to flip you guys off there" 😂 Great video! I am currently getting into guppies thanks to my girlfriend and its been great!! Looking forward to watching more of your videos :D
I find it's the magic of being able to see into world that's impossible to see otherwise. There's always that mystery of what lays underneath the water and with aquariums you get to see it. So for me it's like unraveling a mystery and makes the hobby a magical thing. Few compare, I think ant keeping is closely related for said reasons.
Aquarium Co-Op Would you do a stream on dwarf cichlids? The breeding, the care, the species etc. Like how you did one on breeding for profit and goldfish.
What a good point. By using the science you learn you are also refining it. Finding the niches where it can be adjusted for the benefit of all involved. Really enjoy your show. Thanks.
Wow. You have been doing alot of work in your fishroom. I'm excited to see what you have planned with your rice fish and guppy colonies. 😊 Good luck with your positive fish forum... sounds like you are on the right track.
I really hope you do what ever makes you happy Cory. with thousands of followers your not gonna keep us all happy all the time. I know if your enjoying it than so will I, even if I don't keep the fish your keeping.☺
Great daily dose! One of the best! I love Guppys! I bought 2 tanks yesterday and I'm going to put some Guppys in it soon! Thumbs up Cory! I can't wait for the Christmas stream! #aquariumcoop #tacounion
hey cory. i cross bred a panda guppy female with an endler. Are they completely different species? The fry look like black bar endlers but with blue on the body as well as orange green and the black bars.
When I had a aquarium years ago I thought guppies were a joke. I got a tank for my daughter and we started with guppies. Now I have guppies in two of my seven tanks. Love them and was drooling over some of the breeds you got. Who cares if ppl say you are on a kick. Everyone needs to do what is good for them.
Hey cory could you try (roughly)counting the first couple of drops so I can get an idea of how fast the guppy populations multiply and whether each different colony grows at different rates in comparison? I'm just curious as always.
Also, if you can only when setting up the tank get some live plants and some plastic, start with that and you can always change it afterwards. I have been able in the past to breed swordtails just fine with only plastic as I didnt have any live plants. So you are correct that there are many ways to do things, and as long as it works ok for you, then it is the right way :)
Have you ever seen white pond/tadpole snails? I have them all over my tank. There are about 50% black and 50% white snails. They have white and blond shells with white bodies. It's really cool.
I haven't gone through the whole video yet so there may be another comment I have snails growing in a 20 gallon tank I think it's long along with three baby black Molly Ivins tamales you're doing great and every so often I take some of those Nails out and feed it to my loaches and goldfish in my 75 gallon tank I got these nails from purchasing a couple mothballs my local pet shop I have noticed that since I've been feeding them to my lotion the loaches are very happy very colorful clown loaches in case I make another comment and forget you are my hero Cory and though I am old at forty-five almost forty-six I strive to be kind of like you when I grow up with fish might even start breeding mollies now who knows maybe I'll break into Guppies but I always eat tacos :-)
I like seeing your unboxing videos! When do guppy fry get their colors? Can you do a stage by stage video, I'm new to the hobby and I would like to do a guppy community tank 😀
Thank you for that "rant" about the two types of people. I was trying to get info off a forum and I had 3 different people giving me conflicting information, telling me to add this or rehome that, you need more this don't do that. This was so discouraging because I've tried my best studying, reading, watching videos for days and days maybe even months before I started planting and stocking and yet I'm being told I'm not doing it right. it's very discouraging for the hobby and I'm starting to not want to continue working on my tank because I just don't have that knack. thanks for letting me rant!
what type of black gravel is that? sorry if I missed it in a previous video. really liking gravel more lately for planted tanks. just don't like the color of the natural pea gravel i'm using
To do that wrap on the heat pad it's simple really. You want the paper in a diamond configuration to the heat pad, the corners should be on the flat side of the pad. Fold up the corner facing you then the two sides then the top, furthest from you then the very tip of the last corner slide it in between the two side folds and the bottom and it will self hold the top fold.
I have definitely made tons of mistakes. I typically would give them back to the fish store I bought them from. You might be able to establish a relationship where they give you credit towards other fish etc if you don't make a habit of it.
I used it to keep live brine shrimp at the store and I used that on the sumps system for it as there was a lot to skim out. I've got all the makings for saltwater tanks, just not the motivation...... yet :P
There are a lot of ways to do things, but the safety and wellbeing of the animals in our care should be our priority. We don't want our animals to just survive -- we want them to truly thrive, and that will be far more beautiful than the most well-scaped tank with sickly fish.
