How did my Fish Escape? 

Maybe you could name one Isla and the other Audrey

What plant is that in the beginning

Names: shintzle, Goldie (I have ran out of ideas)

Day 2 of asking what plants do you have in your main guppy tank

Can you make a video on what’s ethical and what is cruel in fish keeping

Guppies don’t do that

@@kenedabonfield8250 While guppies do have live births, they’re still R-selective. That means they give birth to a lot of young at once in the hopes that some will make it to adulthood.

😢😮😊

Guppies give birth don’t lay wggs

Natural Selectuon

REhehh u and me both 🫠 thinking abt surgery tho but have you tried strough? Its a physical therapy and was discovered in England i think from what my physical therapist told me! It helps alot with muscle tightness and elongates your spine to where it somewhat should be!

@@starfruitydaisy yes thats what i mean thank you! I am currently bracing with a 38 and 40degree curve!

​@@starfruitydaisy I've got scoliosis, too. That and an inverted neck gave me so many headaches literally every day. Have you tried going to a chiropractor? They really helped me. I don't think my scoliosis will ever go away, but the problem has been significantly redused.

ditto😅

@@kristenrasmussen4135 that sounds rough. I did try a chiropractor once, but it was too expensive to do regularly. I really like going to a massage therapist tho, it helps loosen the deeper tissues and muscles and really reduces my pain.

Omg I’ve never heard of that. Did u take any photos of the guppy?

@@HowNeatImImpressed me neither, and it's only happened to me once in many hundreds of Guppies that turned up throughout the years. I probably do, but finding it again is another matter 😬 I'd love to locate it though because that Guppy was strangeee

This is the intersex representation we need. INTERSEX GUPPYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

@@notbatman24601ntersex? Or **no** sex? It’s like a Barbie doll down there 😂

@@resident_cryptid7766 I think no sex would still be considered intersex

“And you are ugly”

" And I am ugly "

I couldn’t help but laugh, poor fish 😅

This damn ableist disgusting movie.

And there are crimes for which the world shows little pity

You have a point, something like Padak?

@@lumezza30ugh I wish I could forget that movie

Is.. is a villian.

Why? Those deformed guppies would be eaten alive if they were in the wild. I think clove oil is a much nicer way to go for such fish. And many of the healthy ones would also die the same way. They actually have a much higher survival rate in her care despite her euthanising the deformed ones.

​@@raerohan4241 animation movies (the kidde ones) do not follow the logic of "this couldn't survive" so she probably would be even if she is doing something that would be happening anyway and not letting them suffer

this is why I decided to not euthanize them!

How do you know they are living a good life? They might be having stress.

⁠@@komennoah4203 fish4ever cares about her fish a lot so if they showed any sign of stress she would figure out the cause to have them stop stressing

​@@komennoah4203 you're not a fish expert, shut up.

​@@CutesyDaisy or .. just kill them because they arent perfect. She made a video to brag about murdering the less than perfect. If we all did that.. wouldnt it be an asthetically perfect world?

THIS!! So much! Breed for physical correctness and health, not dented heads, flat faces, and extreme dished noses.

for example pugs... but those aren't even cute. they're ugly. i 100% agree with this comment

100% animals shouldn't be bred for a deformity but I also don't believe they should be killed off because they're not "aesthetically pleasing".

@@Maja-se3hfactually I forgot his name but I believe there’s a man trying to fix pugs! Trying to restore them having a normal dog looking face instead of a irl face of when a cartoon characters face is hit with a pan.

@@oliviaocasain9980 She didn’t kill these two deformed fish because they have normal health and quality of life. The others are gently euthanized so they won’t suffer. It’s the same with humans when we have terminal illnesses (or deformities that will kill us); it will come to a point where they’ll slowly give a lot of medication to reduce the pain until they finally inject medication to let you go peacefully. The way she treats her fish is very kind and humane

I also love how she uses emoji visuals to explain things. I'm a visual learner so it really makes the short video format tolerable.

I don't think they meant it negatively. Like they were just stating a fact

@@junerose7868 What she said is an opinion, not a fact. I don't think her head-dented fish look ugly and not aesthetically pleasing, they look angular and cool to me

Right!!!! 😳

I think they even Look cuter

​@@junerose7868 aesthetics are subjective and are thus opinions, not fact. She definitely didn't mean it in a rude way though. Intent is different than subjectivity.

My dog was the runt of the litter and she lived longer than any of her brother and sister (she lived until 19)

it is inhumane that you didn’t euthanatize them, living does not equal thriving and i guarantee you they don’t have the best quality of life. if you bred them for as long as you’re saying you would know that

@@squeeblebop they act normal, swim normal, and do normal stuff. nothing really wrong

@@Izziah412 why are they deformed? like is smth wrong with their fins or smth? just asking cause im curious

@@thepersonwhoasked8396 their body near their tail is bended

@@Izziah412 oh okay thanks

Exactly what I was thinking 😬

​@@bodyofhopebegging you to do some research on what ACTUAL eugenics is, and how animal reproduction works in the wild before making shitty comments like this.

How is letting fish with disabilities live qhen they don't cause them stress or harm eugenics?

I think they are referring to the usual practice of killing them--with this being an exception.@@AvaNightingale

The awkward moment when you inbreed your fish too much so you pretend that you're "protecting" future generations by euthanizing them...

No because she already said that she kept those 2 alive

It looks like a little chubby knob

Yeah but sadly they can't see food and they may starve😓

That's what she does though. The only reason these individuals lived was because they escaped the screening process.

@@Jemini4228did you watch the entire video?

@@Jemini4228do you have selective hearing or something

True but it might cause worse issues in the future for them

She said they are not blind They only have an indentation on the head so they are not pleasing to the eye

@@younggurlbeer8849they’re talking about the blind ones and keeping them alive

​@@Okk681 the blind ones aren't what the video is about though.

@@lulolie yeah but the video mentioned them briefly and is what this comment is talking about.

It's not eugenic, the unhealthy ones will 100% die and cannot be sold they aren't like humans who can be pampered by other humans.

As someone who kept fish for years trust me its MUCH more cruel to allow them to be outcompeted for food and slowly starve to death or devlop improperly to the point they cant even swim correctly

When fish have babies, there are way too many to take care of, so most of them have to be euthanized, even some perfectly normal ones. It’s sad but necessary since there aren’t predators to do the job.

That's why she let these two live, because it doesn't affect them

You realize this is a deformity of their skull/brain right? Y'all really not seeing how serious that is? Its one thing for a fish to have a bit of a messed up fin or smth but their entire head is at risk there

I dont think you know what youre talking about

It's not pleasant but it's a part of breeding fish and other animals. You want to reduce deformities and disease as much as possible. The only way to do that is to take out the ones that have genes for the problem so they don't make more babies with problems.

But this mindset affects how we treat humans... so actually nazi Era in Germany was this... but with humans. And they ended 250000 disabled lifes. I'm not saying that fish are like humans in all ways, but the problem lies in the way we think about what is normal. Disability is normal. Mutations are a must for evolution and that what we call disability because SOCIETY thinks it's less worth or isn't accommodated for those needs, is simply a part of Mutation. (At least genetic disabilities). We are evolution, we are an essential part and not the other end of a binary of disabled and ablebodied.

​@Alalea17 The difference is that humans have social support systems, and we love one another. FISH DO NOT. Disabled fish are simply not equivocable to disabled people. A blind child human would starve to death and die just as easily as a blind fish, if not for the fact that we are a compassionate species that cares for our young. Deformities like that are not 'normal', in the sense that they are typical for a population. They do happen often, but they are naturally bred out by natural selection. Nature doesn't care about human ethics- yes, mutations are normal, but they are only sometimes good. The good ones get passed on, while the negative ones die out. That is the way of things. Humans can live wonderful lives regardless of any deformity because we are ingenuitive and helpful, but many animals don't have the ability to provide assistance for those in their community that need it. We can't apply this mindset to humans because it is horribly immoral due to people having free will and sentience, but it is also equally harmful to the genetic health of a population overall to apply human morals to animals. Especially if you're being an ethical breeder and trying to produce pet animals that have the best chance of success at life.

She doesnt want to-

@@Sempie. oh? She told you that?

​@@GippyHappyBut who would she feed the fish to?

@@Commenter01 me! yum yum yum gobble em up

I guess that is why I cant discern the head craters or bumps.

She knows more about fish than you. Amongus

She knows more about fish than you. Amongus

But they'll have kids..

​@@Chris-fh3db that also won't be affected by the entirely superficial difference....

​@@lulolieits a deformity involving their skull/brain area...it would definitely effect future generations of fish.

I guess she defines culling as the euthanizing of healthy guppies, not of deformed or blind fish who will be attacked constantly by the other fish (which she didnt mention) or be able to compete for food or protect themselves

The issue is breeding. Even if they'd be far away, they'd still breed for those bad traits.

@@margaritaschuyiervanrensse7450why not have two separate tanks? One for males and one for females? Or give the disabled fish away to people who want them and would care for them?

@@queerbotanicalqueeneople don’t want the fish, they die quickly and struggle to eat even with food placed in front of them. There are deformed fish in every batch, it’s how nature designed them. The cost and time needed to care for multiple separate tanks of deformed fish isn’t realistic for people. The reason why fish have so many babies at once is because most of them die before reaching adulthood. In nature, they are naturally culled, but because of the tank environment, people have to do it themselves.

Females are normally larger then males and if u look at the bottom fin a male will have like a lil stick and a females will be curved

Females have a big belly. Males are slimmer

And in guppies the males have fancy fins

And what its called!

it’s a mix of red root floaters and dwarf water lettuce! both available at FishPortals.com 🌱

it’s a temp tank

@@squeeblebop oh good! At least it's not their permanent home

I'm curious how they can harm. (Genuine question, I haven't had fish in years and haven't heard this! We'd been thinking about setting up a new tank so I'm researching and learning as much as I can before we make a decision!)

@@Amy_The_unbearded they can stunt the fish and they can restrict oxygen levels. I'm glad to see that you're interested though! What kind of fish are you thinking of keeping? As a good way to get back into keeping them tropical would be a good start since they are easy to keep and not as dirty as goldfish, but it is good to do your research so you can see what fish can and can't be kept together

There’s nothing you can do about it.

She is letting them live don't worry. She's just separating them so they won't breed.
