Do u need live plants to breed neon tetras or can u use artificial

[@lisakelly7084]

I would love to spend a day in a fish room like that...I probably would never leave...i didn't want your video to end

[@BritneyStinson]

My uncle tells me he’s gonna send me to live with the turtles 😔

[@tankjewels]

From now on, I'm going to use the metaphor "he/she has gone to live with the turtles".

haha best thing ever

Vicki K mine go to the "crawfish tank" to retire

[@kerrypitt9789]

Yep!!😂 Gone to live with the Turtles is awesome!

[@JohnStraussmusic]

Love these videos. Want me and my 8 year old to start keeping Guppies. Slow setup but I want him to understand each step in the process of it all instead of just slapping it all together quickly. Thanks for all these great videos to learn from.

[@rachaelreczenski7270]

Loved this! I know it's from 5 yrs ago but you answered the questions I had about guppy breeding strains etc. I'm most interested in breeding fancy guppies... among other things 😉 I'm inhaling all the info I can on small, like 2-tank breeding operations with guppies and basically whatever will go with guppies. Including plants. I'm lining things up slowly. Very slowly. I'm trying to be patient and not spend much money because my husband is already not thrilled with having TWO tanks 😅😅😅🤷‍♀️😊 so I'm gonna make the most of it. I'm running 2 Aquarium co-op filters in a 50-gallon with a bunch of cories and guppies and a pleco, a bunch of annubias, buce, swords, crypts, java windelov, java moss, jungle val... all slowly growing in, as well as a synodontis that will be moving soon lol. Love it, but it's eating my fry 😋 My other is a 29g planted with hairgrass, water sprite (?), java moss, and windelov and a nice cave. I have wood and rock and sand in both tanks. I can't decide what I want to do in the 29g. I can't decide if I'm going to move the guppies to the 29g. Lmao 😅 Forgive me. I digress. 😅 Carry on! While I go inhale more content!!!

[@HopeB555]

Lol. How did you convince your hubs of a second tank? I had to argue long and hard why I needed a 10 gallon just for quarantine and I think he'd kill me if I just kept it set up on the breakfast bar. Lol. I've been trying to convince him to let me get fish for years and he finally caved. Lol.

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

You know I used to not mind duckweed but it becomes a pain in the ass when your trying to sort stuff out.

[@shortnanxious6088]

😄 The Cory Fishroom and Hobbyists style videos are back!!!! Absolutely. .... These kind of videos you do I could watch for hours👍👍👍 ...hopefully you got the Guppy Cull to the turtles. 👍 Love how you are showing people culling...its the most important thing about breeding.

[@catfishcave379]

Ditto to what ShortNanxious said!

[@cichlidfan90a92]

ShortNanxious it's kill not cull

[@shortnanxious6088]

Culling out of the breeding group means to remove it from the group...how you do it is up to you.

[@AquariumCoop]

Like ShortNAnxious said, I don't typically kill my guppies, I remove them from the group and keep them with say turtles, or even just another aquarium depending on what was wrong with them.

[@timoteomorales8275]

can you give me some guppies of yours? i realy love guppies.here in philippines gupies are cross breed with native guppies.

[@fishfinesser506]

"Needs to visit the turtles" omg 😂

[@DannysAquariums]

Great! I want a colony too! Thumbs up Cory!

[@kevinwalden4288]

Lol almost make it sound like some fairytale land "gotta catch this so it can go and visit the turtles" I love it haha

[@AquariumCoop]

To be fair, most of my culls live out their lives with the turtles. I keep the turtles well fed enough that they are too lazy to hunt really. At least the mini musks. The larger turtles for sure will eat stuff.

[@boatchips7820]

@@AquariumCoop they dont have an appetite for guppy?

[@SusanforSLCAquatics]

Your picking technique makes since and you made it easy to understand. I get excited when I find new babies too rather Guppy or Cory cats

[@russellbeach3207]

What do I like about your video, everything from the start to the finish ! Living vicariously through you!

[@RockbreakerMotorsports]

I know this is late in coming, but i really enjoy your "real life" style here. I watch a lot of your stuff, and rather enjoy watching you just go about it, rather than try to stick to a theme. Also, the water trail is all to real, lol!!

[@hannahpieplow8557]

My Female Guppie Has Babies right now She has had two Batches

[@RyoWatanabee]

Great video Cory. I really am enjoying your guppy videos. I've kept many different fish in the past but I've just recently gotten into guppies because they are really fun to watch and breed. My main focus is on the albino koi guppy strain and I'm trying to fill my approximately 140gallon tank with them. Started of with 5 females and 5 males. It'll take some time to fill the tank up but I just got a female that gave birth to 20 fry so I'm looking forward to it. Keep up the great work!

[@AquariumCoop]

+CW Aquariums nice, reminds me I need to check and see if I won the aquabid auction for some of those.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Congrats on winning those Koi's Cory! Hope to see more of them in upcoming videos. Maybe one day I'll send you videos of my tanks so that you and your viewers can check them out :)

[@ahofftn]

Great video - lots of good instruction on picking out breeding stock. Nice lil pleco babies.

[@EssElle89]

You are so helpful and honest as well as relatable!

[@aquaticma]

Year of the livebeaers! Thanks for sharing your cull process. I'm hoping to try guppies this spring outside as a side project to learn more about genetics. How often would you cull?

[@annemieke8409]

Hi from Auatralia Cory, I just love the way you get to the point, hate listening to people that just woft on.. Thank you for all you do, you are such a hard worker, Regards Annemieke

[@anocken]

Loving these videos a lot Cory! I "accidentally" breed goldfish as a kid and nothing much happened with it. It's cool to see the work you are supposed to put into it when you are trying to do something. I think it'll be helpful when I play with Angels this year.

[@AquariumCoop]

Good luck with the angels :)

[@Soon2beMrsG]

love these videos, all have been very helpful with what direction i should go with my tank. I will be stopping by your store on saturday and im excited to see it in person!!

[@AquariumCoop]

Awesome, I'll only be around a bit on Saturday. I have to do an airport run in the morning and deliver plants etc. Maybe I"ll see ya.

[@FireWolfWitch]

I really enjoyed this video, the whole process of selecting the fish, finding the traits you want to breed, to get the strain you want is very informative and fascinating. Would really enjoy more videos like this

[@thomaskeider8267]

I love the red guppies!

[@TropicalFishSuccess1]

We need more Guppy Videos! Really enjoyed the video. Also, how has the aggression been with the Tropheus?

[@AquariumCoop]

No problems with aggression that i've seen.

[@mikecorbett9098]

What did I like about this episode? I liked everything, I like the dwarf cichlids (at least I think that's what they are). Also congrats on the baby plecos!

[@55mebiggs]

I enjoyed the video very much! Love seeing another persons fish room! Great job on breeding the Plecos! Glad I found your channel!

[@AquariumCoop]

Welcome Aboard.

[@joelupone3076]

cyprichromis and tropheus are a classic pair, they'll make short work of the algae in the cyp tank if you've considered that whilst growing them out

[@jacquelinesteele9506]

Love Guppies but until I cleaned my small power head (going to get bubble sponges next week), I never realised how playful Minnos are. Lovely little fish, swimming against the tide and driving into the bubbles it makes.

[@misaki5017]

This is an awesome video showing how you separate guppies. Now I have a better view as to how I'm going to choose guppies to breed. Thanks for the video cory!

[@trevormassenburge4308]

been watching your videos for a while and for some reason just subscribed. love your videos man

[@ProphecyBoxBreaks]

Thank you so much for posting all of these videos. They have been very helpful so far, and I'll look forward to watching more in the future!

[@dbellman89]

I enjoy any content you make Cory, I just like you as a person. Also congrats on the baby plecos.

[@ejfishes7610]

Great insight Cory, I liked how you went over your selection process. Thanks for sharing!

[@Tomatochanification]

I always enjoy watching your videos. I started up three 15 gallon tanks because of you! Can't wait to put some neocaridinas in soon.

[@MiniMatt317]

ahhhh....this is the style of vid I enjoy just mucking in the fish room!!!!

The best way to get rid of duckweed is the Ehiem surface skimmer. Any surface skimmers that are work like this one are duckweed vacuums.

[@alicorydorie5429]

I'm so glad this video popped up. New to fish keeping. My guppies I bought were pregnant and now I have babies but I can't wait to breed some on purpose lol.

[@xlupta00]

I really like these fishroom videos. Lately I don't have so much time to watch your live stream videos (I can't watch them live - I'm from Europe) so I preffer shorter, more 'action' videos :) Have a nice day.

[@kerrypitt9789]

I didn't see this coming, but this year for the first time in 45 years I have Guppies! I didn't see the excitement and attachment I feel coming from them. I just got extra fancy Guppies, whatever that means and because I could I went with these gorgeous yellow fish. They are happy go lucky Guppies, like my dog who I call the High Speed Optomist. Jazz loves to come check them out, so do I LOL. All of this stuff that is trying to kill me, is getting put in the back seat and for the first time in two years, I feel optimistic.

[@litoloco4fish]

How in the heck do you get your energy lo do all your business, videos, OMGoodness gracious, great balls of 🔥🔥🔥

[@DaybirdAviaries]

I miss this fish room.

[@JazSung]

Hey Aquarium Co-op, just an idea as I have not yet had too much experience with it, try getting split peas and grinding them into a powder? It's good for helping relieve fish of some swimbladder issues, as well as bloat and constipation in fish.

[@tmoneymelton2864]

Sadly my favorite guppy died so I'm gunna come by meet you and hoping to find a good colorful male maybe u can pick one for me

[@vaansaquatics8221]

Nice !!! I'm planning for more guppies breeding like u !!! And as before plz make videos on how to breed betas

Very cool vid. I’d like to see how you choose other fish for breeding as well. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@renewood7827]

Enjoyed your video and how you share your love and knowelege of fish. I am just beginning my journey with my fancy guppies. Love them. I agree spend some time with your fish. Just noticed we have some babies. Yipee!

[@TylerAkers88]

Love the cyprichromis tank. One thing I've learned about having them the last year and a half is they require a lot of patience.

[@AquariumCoop]

+Tyler Akers all fish require patience really. The one thing in this hobby you can't buy your way through really.

[@Beesmakelifegoo]

Algae is food for babies! I thought so! Thank you Corey.

[@richardportelli1983]

You should try to add some more plants like hornwort to those tanks with the algae to out compete it.

[@KGTiberius]

Any follow up video or a new similar selective colony breeding project of guppies?

[@notenoughtanks6553]

Awesome video! I am part of the colony breeders club!

[@TuanCaCanh]

I have little guppy fish and they are very healthy

[@YizTheGOAT]

Your female guppy with the "weak back" may be paralyzed because if you notice when it tries to swim it doesn't move its tail much and it also swims kind of vertical like. But I don't know just a guess haha (:

[@geirung1078]

Axil Gaming w

[@LostSoulNexus]

Got a female with mostly black tail with a faint gold snakeskin in the middle and 2 males with black borders on the tails with a mix of yellow orange and blue in the middle and body hoping te fry comes out nicely

[@LostSoulNexus]

And a hundred odd in a barrel outside plus some in family's tanks to mix and match colour and bloodlines am aiming for a nice dark body and fins color on a female and try for blue and gold snakeskin on a black background for male

[@Shorterthenukid]

Great information! Could you do some videos on Gourami setups, different breeds, breeding, good tank mates, etc? Thanks!

[@fishfinesser506]

Great vid, i got a stock tank finally, and im keeping a common snapping turtle in it, and my dad said i need to bury it. He said it will bake in the summer and freeze in the winter. Its not going to free because i have a 550gph filter on it, this is a 110g stock tank

[@fishfinesser506]

Do i need to bury it

[@AquariumCoop]

Burying it will help with temperature swings. But you should design an overall plan. So maybe you bury it, maybe you create a glass top for it, to keep it warmer during the winter, but leave that off during the summer. You could also surround it with hay bales etc to keep it warmer.

[@rexroynettleford9303]

thank u also am one of your biggest fans

[@mikeangel767]

i really appreciate all the love you got my respect and I feel the same and support for your channel thank you and GOD.BLESS YOU and YOUR channel thumbs-up 👊😀💓

[@_SugarBee_]

What I do with extra fish is put them in a 55g and just let them breed in abandon and then pull fish I like the pattern of from there and start a new project. It sparks new passion

[@captaingreenbeardscove8304]

Did the Ancistrus Claro Pleco babies survive??? I believe Ancistrus claro could be the next big thing in fish keeping. They are slightly smaller than other bristlenose plecos, so casual hobbies with smaller tanks could keep them & less aggressive so you can more than one male in the tank. Bluegrass Aquatics is currently selling tank raised Ancistrus claro for $119. I wish to God I could afford that, but I can't, so I hope the price comes down soon.

[@sawkvideoproductions1115]

FINALLY, a guppy breeder who lets natural selection happen!

I have some fancy guppies that I will breed this year hopefully they turn out nice

[@Brendan_O]

I would love to get some liberty mollies. they are like the closest thing to Muppies that you can get that still can breed. though my mountain swordtails probably wouldn't want to share a tank.

[@kristyburgess9847]

Thanks for such great information Cory. My goal is to have a shop Etsy one day after I get my license filled with my favourite fish ☺️

[@SideWalkUniversityTV]

What kind of gups were those? Red bronze? Albino full reds? Flamingos? I have female guppies that look like those and they had fry which are about a month old now and the males are just blonde/bronze with red tails as well but not full red...

[@jbravo7505]

Do you sell any white platinum dumbo ear betta plaketts??

[@DannysAquariums]

[@tamarasimpson2879]

I just started a colony of metallic purple guppies, they were supposed to be pastel but they are really dark. I love their Color I was surprised! I have 4 females and had 3 males but one male had a faded spot in his tail so he was dropped into my community tank instead of breeding

[@bettavlogs]

Love all your videos

[@guppybreederhelmond2518]

Best fish in the hobby! Beautiful and cheap. I can make a living from the sale of guppy’s. If you have a lot of aquariums you can make a lot of money with them.

[@lanse72]

Ever thought of getting an hrv/erv for the humidity? I noticed with the dehumidifiers your meter was still hitting 60%.

[@AquariumCoop]

+Ben I have, but my research shows me it'll be less efficient than what I'm currently doing. The problem is when I shoot videos and put water on the floor. The humidity rises. However yesterday when not filming and working humidity was 35%

Jason, super cool guppies. I had some guppies back in 2006 - 2010. They multiplied very quickly!! I don't remember having that many choices as I see today on the internet.The net was still very new, Think I was using a web TV. I like the Tuxedo Guppies do you have any of those?

[@AquariumCoop]

I think I fairly warn people. I tell people in every video I talk about plants, how plants grow too fast and are a hassle. This is why I don't do big aquascaped tanks because if you do it right, it's always pruning. :P
