Hi John and Lisa! I am planning to have a 20 gallon tank with 1 Betta, 10 Neon Tetras, 3 Kuhli Loaches, and a couple blue mystery snails from your site. In addition to this is I will have Java Fern, Anubias Bartari, and Catapa Leaves. Multiple sources have said after a tank is cycled, neons wouldn’t be the best first fish due to their lack in hardiness. So if I am putting in the Betta and Kuhli loaches in my main tank, how will my neons survive a cycled quarantine tank? Should I put the Betta and Kuhli loaches in the quarantine tank first then move them to the main tank and add the Neon Tetras to the quarantine tank? How should I approach this situation?

When I was 7 I used to keep a 2 gallon aquarium and got a common pleco. Embarrassed about my early aquarium journey but I am so proud of how the hobby has evolved for me. Just so sad about all the fish I didn’t know how to care for properly as a child. My education on caring for my fish now is largely in thanks to you John and Lisa.

@kyubi430 11 месяцев назад

I used to work at PetSmart and the common plecos were definitely one of the most mistreated. I'd try to tell people how big they'd get and customers would either a) say they didn't care, b) the ones they had before never got that big and they can just keep it small by keeping it in a small tank, or c) say they'd put it in the local lake when it got too big. It was insane!

@roxiereed4061 11 месяцев назад

@lacreiataylor8838 3 месяца назад

Ask questions 1st and say no if the care will be bad. Ask whats in their tank already, etc, so you can make a lie or excuse not to sell...example, this pleco eats xyz or destroys xyz because those ppl dnt do research 1st. 😂 Jus make it sound terrible to have 1. Or my boss will not allow the sale because of tank size. You have to speak to them for override of sale and boss its here until next week because of management of multiple stores 🤷🏾‍♀️ anything

I truly enjoy the content you provide. Whenever I look for information now it's you and aquarium co-op that I look for. You guys know your stuff and the animals always come first. The humor ain't a bad bonus tho 😂 Also if you see this can you please do a video on brackish water and how to start and all that jazz. Very little good information on it on RU-vid. I'm currently working on a red claw crab brackish setup with neon tetras. I think I got it about right but I'd prefer a professional opinion from someone I actually trust

4ft heavily planted low boy with peppered cory gang and amano shrimp herd. Thought my peppers where 2 species as originally in 2 tanks until I put them in together. Turns out the smaller ones were male whilst the plumper female. Now have an ever growing very healthy active gang that go into breeding mode every time I do water changes or filter cleaning once a week. Great video! 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

John and Lisa, Awesome video I love it so funny especially the ending. There is no fish that eats poop correct. Although if you have plants and lots of them they can help as the bacteria breaks down the poop the plants absorb it in the substrate and release oxygen and kind of filter the water also. Great job 😂❤

THANK YOU for addressing the common pleco issue!!! I wish we didn't sell them! Box stores are for BEGINNERS! And unfortunately the associates are often not educated enough on them, the customer starts a riot if they can't get their 8yr old one for their 10g or the company pushes the sales for them. They make more of a mess than anything else. Or people don't believe they get that big. Drives me crazy!

@nkawtg4 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for saying the things you said! Bout time. I wonder what your thoughts are on getting a common pleco for help with algae and diatoms when they are little, keeping for a few years till they are too big for the size tank you have, then finding a home.... I already know that's a tall order, but here's the thing: the LFS is still selling them by the tens of thousands all over the country, where are they going? If they are doomed to go live in a small box, at least mine will be well cared for and I'll find a home when he's too big. Just spitballin here, but I'll bet lots of people think this way, and I'm dealing with algae hardcore right now...have to admit I've been thinking about it. Plus I have always wanted one, cause I love em. (yes I have lots of other varieties that don't get ginormous already, but they are spoiled to cucumbers and wafers and won't eat any algae...rats).

@medkow7415 11 месяцев назад

Well, that sucks the video cut off right when you were going to mention it! In all seriousness when most people talk about hating snails I would put money on that they're talking about pond snails. Mystery snails if you don't want more you just pull out the egg sack and you're done. Pond snail eggs are so hard to find that you have more before you know it.

I have found that those cheap ghost shrimp do real well on algae. If you can get them past those first 72 hrs. in your tank they are voracious eaters. Unfortunately they die so easily because of the poor conditions their bred in.

The only fish which has been actually recorded eating p*op is the Scatophagus - But it gets 40 cm.s long (and needs, thus 500 lt.s or more) and lives in brackish or marine water; also, it will obviously prefer other food sources, given the possibility. The best thing which can, in a way, "eat" the p*op is a good vegetation - Plants will use organic waste as fertilizer. Apart from that, my clean-up crew cunsists in a Bristlenose and lots of Malayan trumpet snails, but I still do my weekly water change. The clean-up crew gives an hand, but it actually is the keeper to be responsible for the main task.
