[@josephl6312]

Rachel O'leary Leaf fish!!! :)

[@auelasuka]

The gouramis in the genus trichogaster and trichopterus pls! Pearls, thicklips, indian bandeds, threespots, snakeskins, moonlights, etc

[@jessek8114]

The ever elusive Zebra Plecos.

[@carlapappalardo1901]

Oops, just saw the note. I guess as it's not exactly nano, it would be on the small size of conventional, but I still love Bloodfin Tetras, if you ever decide to do a spotlight on them...

[@TheWilliamswarrior]

Tiger Barbs or maybe Bleeding Heart Tetras.

[@zzsnomnomz]

could you start including the strata levels the fish exhibit, that would be very helpful. I absolutely love your channel amd your such a huge inspiration, keep up the good work.😁

[@2395ryan]

do a species spotlight on the paradise fish please

[@jeanthepoet9487]

I love your videos

[@kimberlysmith4312]

As always, so much information to process. Much better than leaving us with questions. Keep it coming!

[@phokang7649]

im more impressed with the cuteeeee drapefin barbs tbh

[@Bloodhoundfostermom]

They are really cute

[@carlapappalardo1901]

Yes, nice fish. I wish the Clown and Tiger Barbs had nano versions :)

[@RachelOLeary]

They sort of do, honestly. Check out barbus jae and barbus hulstaerti as well as Eirmotus octozona

[@carlapappalardo1901]

That's right I'd forgotten about them! I did see them in your book when I first got it,and wanted them, but I've never seen them anywhere for sale. But, then... I'd need an 11th tank instead of the 10th I'm getting ready to set up.... this is way too addicting... (I will of course check to look for your species spotlight on them, but I don't remember one... the Jae that is)

[@aquaticfeind7260]

Also the Pethia gelius Gold Barb, I love these little guys!

[@the-campfire-dispatch9091]

Wow! What a neat barb. I think they look like bigger pentazona barbs.

[@CaylorsReptilesAquatics]

Great fish and great vid! You are my 'go to' source when learning about new fish, especially one I am considering adding. Thanks.

[@rocktonaquatics5530]

Those barbs are so cute.

[@TurboFish]

Thank you for this!!!

[@triple10tanks10]

Thanks for sharing

[@worldofanimalsen7126]

Like your species-spotlights ! Very nice videos and I appreciate your knowledge.

[@RachelOLeary]

+WorldOfAnimals EN thank you!

[@dollacademydntm3092]

YOUR CONTENT IS AMAZING 💕 you are my favourite KZbinr!

[@RachelOLeary]

why thank you!

[@mikaellow906]

I would love to try that cool looking barb in my aquarium thats cool😎😎

[@michaelharrity9795]

I want some

[@LonghornInOmaha]

We've got 12 in our 125 gallon all barb tank. They are an awesome fish. Some of the females are pushing 5", easily.

[@bigjayinga]

Great fish, never heard of them but I need them.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Cool fish - I think I like the Indian Drake Fins better though...haha. : -)

[@RachelOLeary]

yea, they are very sexy fish

[@mikaellow906]

Hi Rachel thats a really cool looking barb you got there WOW. Does it get more color the older they get? Cheers Mikael i'm really like your fishroom and your tips you give Rachel they are the best!

[@RachelOLeary]

Yes, it will fire up way more then these are, I just wanted to take the opportunity to talk about them while I had them in the fishroom.

[@catfishcave379]

I've always loved (but never had - only seen them once - and it was only one) the Striped barb - Desmopuntius johorensis. Or the smaller Struntius lineatus. D. pentazona - 5 banded barb or D. hexazona. I see you mentioned the Butterfly barb and E. octozona in the comments-have you done an exposé on them yet. Barbs are so underappreciated - and they are so much fun to watch!

[@RachelOLeary]

I believe I did a few small barbs, but with a couple hundred species spotlights under my belt- I have to search my own channel to see hahah

[@randomindianguy7734]

Wahh... finally you break your own trend ma'am.... wanting more such new trend breakers... though you have started it from the earlier betta video imo.... thank you.... requesting you to do some normal Cory videos like-peppered, panda, bronze.... the common fish from a trendsetter is always special.... stay blessed.... from India

[@RachelOLeary]

I figure species information on stuff most folks can actually find at their stores would be useful as well. Don't fret- some hillsream profiles are coming up soon

[@randomindianguy7734]

+Rachel O'leary yeeaaaaa.....😊😊

[@tusharkatkar6574]

बॉल मस्त आहेत

[@longdonglarry]

Can they be kept with Tiger Barbs? I have a big school of Tigers but only 2 Clown, still smaller than the Tigers and I'm considering to putting them together as I have trouble to find more Clown Barbs in my country

[@aleko11]

especially curious ..

[@MELODYMUNRO]

Is the wider girth being female the same for gold barbs? I have six of them and four are much larger and sometimes I have observed the smaller one pushing against the sides of the bigger ones, which i am guessing is trying to instigate breeding. thanks Rachel.

[@RachelOLeary]

Yes, in general.

[@vichu2160]

Rachel why not you and Dustin come to India? People around the world value the species from here but here no one value them. BTW the above one slightly looks like puntius barb or melon barb.

[@Muhfugginshichea]

Can you do a species spotlight on Indian orange hatchetfish? I bought a few at an lfs but have lost 4 so far. How readily available are they and how are they at breeding?

[@RachelOLeary]

pretty sure I already have! They are easy to breed, but not that common to find.

[@user-lk9se9jf3b]

Like always great video :). Any chance in the future for spot light on parotocinclus sp.peru? I had 7 only 1 survived. Not much info on them:(

[@susaneverett4996]

Get some Barbus Jae! Tiny Mauve striped barbs. Breedable, too!

[@RachelOLeary]

I believe i have done a species spotlight on them- great fish!

[@philosofical6620]

Kept Barbus Jae a few years ago but not seen them anywhere since. Would love to have them again.

[@klownz666]

How do I make water for water changes? Do I need an 8ft tank of water to supply an 8ft tank on display? Really want to keep some fish but don't understand water change.... To have a big fancy tank do i need shit loads of water in storage?

[@RachelOLeary]

You do not need that, most folks with a big tank use a water changing system called a python that hooks to your sink for draining and refilling your tank. Instead of pretreating your water before refilling, you put the water conditioner into the tank before filling- you ust use water conditioner for the total volume of the tank rather than just the water removed.

[@jairocampos2584]

[@nicolem.4477]

Hi Rachel! This is a bit off topic but I need your expertise. One of my black skirt tetras has a rather large lump on his left side. I quarantined him as a precaution, but he seems to be behaving normally, eating fine, etc. The only symptom is the growth, which is the same color as his body. Any idea what this could be?

[@connortierney3638]

They love jumping over there food

[@freshfalcon3996]

Especially, not expecially

[@noelvelasquez1234]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@NSK2777]

Hey in my lfs they got dwarf anchor cats, scarlet badis, and dwarf pea puffers will they all be compatible with each other in a 10 gallon tank?

[@RachelOLeary]

I dont' think pea puffers are a community fish, though they might do alright with the dwarf anchors. Dwarf anchors and dario do great togehter as well- i just probably would not recommend dario with pea puffer.

[@NSK2777]

Rachel O'leary Alright thanks

[@RachelOLeary]

+704 Fish Keeper best of luck!

[@pembomassive1394]

Do you keep green fire tetras?

[@907fishtrappa2]

as always vreat video, also were can i get those feeding discs in the video???

[@RachelOLeary]

they are called Sera Onip. I sell them, as do many others :)

[@DnASnakes]

Are these also called 5 line barbs?

[@RachelOLeary]

I can honestly say I have no idea.

[@sludgemaiden]

I think 5 line barb is another one, Desmopuntius pentazona, I think

[@bettaxfish1682]
