I have ADHD, and so keep my youtube videos at 1.25 speed. I sometimes even up to 1.5 if the presenter is a slow talker. Every Monday morning I move my speed to 1x just so I can soak up every last moment of Fish Tank Reviews :)

[@littlewigglemonster7691]

I listen to podcasts on 1.25 - 1.5x a lot too 😂

[@Griffin050A1t]

I listen to 2x so I can watch as many fft videos as possible in the shortest amount of time …. And I listen to podcasts on 3.5x …. I’m pretty sure it’s adhd but my parents don’t accept that women can have adhd and just call my auntie and I hypochondriacs….. yes I’ve been to a doctor but the specialists that are able to diagnose me are expensive and 4 hours drive away …. That all came out at once sorry for anyone that read that

[@Dee97]

@@Griffin050A1t Don't be sorry. I first thought I might have ADHD at 18 and my mom shot it down so hard I forgot about it. I was diagnosed a few years ago at 32. I believe you.

Ahoy hoy fellow FTR adventurers, let's all try to level up our fishkeeping and meet back here next week! Hope everyone had an awesome weekend and all the dads and father figures were super celebrated! ✌️

[@Chompchompyerded]

All the dads in my family are dead, including my dad, my husband, and my son, and so that I wouldn't have to think of it for an entire day, I just took the day off and slept through it. Not nearly as much bawling and nashing of teeth that way.

BTW chris im in ireland and my mam sent me to this camp where you have to speak Irish only, its three weeks long and last Monday I had to sneak my phone just so I could watch FTR 😭 I'm a true member of the end of video gang, Im also praying that my fish and shrimp wont be dead when I get back (I'm trusting my lil sis to feed em) sorry for waffling your my favourite fish youtuber, Byyeeeee

My favorite candy of all time is butterscotch. You know, the hard round candies? My english teacher used to have a bowl out with them until I arrived.

[@FishForThought]

yummy, i do love those, and chewing them like ice cubes xD

[@Glidefang]

I love waking up on Mondays and watching the new ftr

[@FishForThought]

lets gooo!

[@garg4531]

Ohhh my gosh, that 20 long is beautiful. Imo a driftwood log and some floaters up top are the *best* way to use a long shallow tank like that, and this one looks like a little slice of river too. Looks very understocked but just picture some colorful bright red platies swimming around, a big shoal of neon tetras with maybe a dwarf gouramis centerpiece, or a cold water tank with zebra danios and white cloud minnows… chef’s kiss, so much potential for a beautiful tank like this

[@FishForThought]

so fricken beautiful agreed!

[@moara4144]

8:19 I just hauled out my old 1.5 gallon hex aquarium that was a Christmas gift in middle school in 1999. Made a nano walstad tank. First time there's been water in it in 20 years.

[@FishForThought]

oh wow. it sounds great :)

[@MissMeganBeckett]

The sour keys, the smaller ones especially if they’re several years stale before they send them to me because they take so much longer to chew before they dissolve so I can enjoy them for longer, if I can’t get stale candy then haribo goldbears makes a particularly chewy gummy bear that’s also delicious.

[@duktrilfromsouthafrica]

I have a bladder snail species tank - it’s a 2 gallon on my desk which i feed heavily. Every second day I put a slice of cucumber in it, wait an hour for snails to be all over it- then i shake it off in my pea puffer tank. Safe to say, those puffers dont let any snails live in their tank for longer than 10 minutes 😂

[@FishForThought]

so cute

[@smashingamin]

Thanks for reviewing my 3g! (@Skrimps) Everything's growing out now but there were some changes 1. I had to replace my helanthium tennelum with marsilea hirsuta because it melted like crazy. 2. My pogostemon erectus originally also melted but I managed to save it 3. Added frogbit :)

[@enderthe]

yeah, don’t add frog it, if you can, get it out now, get a bigger floater, you will never be able to get frogbit out once it multiples 😭

[@smashingamin]

@@enderthe don't worry I am very well aware.

RIP Frederick. You were a real one. QotW: Generally more of a savory person, but recently I've been on a Toffifee kick. They're hazelnuts in nougat and caramel with a drop of dark chocolate on top. Be careful though, they're kinda addicting...

[@FishForThought]

for real we lost a real one

[@120id9]

5:19 That is one BEAUTIFUL betta fish

[@TSA595]

Have a lekker holiday mense

[@nadyeszti2251]

I DO have a bladder snail species tank. I started it thinking they breed like crazy, so my turtle will always have fresh snacks. Threw in some leftover live plants, and before I knew it I ended up with an overgrown tank that sometimes need topping. And my snails only breed to keep up the numbers, barely any extra for my turtle. My favorite candy is Negro. Yes it is an actual brand.

[@darealbirb]

Hi Chris! I have been watching your vid for months , I hope you have a good day!

I’m cycling a 325 gallon shallow pond I’m going to be planting more soon and stocking with guppies it is an indoor pond and I have plant grow lights hung above it with clay soil, top soil and sand

[@FishForThought]

sounds like an amazing project!

[@audrameyer9558]

Happy FFTDAY people! We can all have a great week now 😁 I think my fav candy has to be the plain chocolate M&M's. I love Starburst too, especially the Strawberry 🍓 😋

[@FishForThought]

yeah!!! lets goo! strawberry starburst is the best

[@Ac3_Silvers]

Not me with my tiny little 2-shrimp tank always feeling jealous/nervous about other judging me with mine 😅 I can only have a tank under 3 gallons at my apartment before it’s a $80/month pet fee, so… tiny little tank, 2 ghost shrimp and a moss stick plus some nerds gravel, a little house and some fake plants.

[@jenniferdennis5558]

Oh man, I got a giant thing of Kopiko from Costco and my whole family loves it! QOTW mine changes all the time. Skittles are always a good time. I always love chocolate, especially Cadbury. Here's a spicy candy take: once a year I crave candy corn. Just in the fall, I'll buy some, eat it happily and then never want it again for the rest of the year.

[@FishForThought]

dang i needa go to costco to restock my kopiko, it's sold out everywhere right now..

[@lawfulsoup8335]

I think the craziest Idea I am working on is a 200 gallon indoor wooden pond box enclosure for my toad. I have no idea if it will work out but I am slowly planning it. Hoping to be done this month.

[@garg4531]

I actually really like that artificial betta tank by ionicferno. Yeah it’s artificial but it’s not *tacky*, they have a clear theme and it’s actually very aesthetically pleasing. I feel like this is artificial decor done right Still, it’s great that they decided to go with a more natural route, and the betta seems to be loving it too!

[@fernofinity8997]

Thanks man! That’s my tank and I appreciate the comment! We love his tank now and we actually just set up a new 20gal long :) when everything is established I will send a pic in for FTR :)

[@dota24life64]

I've been eating kopiko since I was I kid, I thought it was made in the Philippines never expected it to be made in Indonesia

[@Psybur]

It’s hot in kopiko. ;)

[@Eniteee]

well I thought kopiko wasn't from Indonesia because of the ads back then. I'm indonesian tho

[@Psybur]

@@Eniteee Oh, it was just a reference from a show. I knew it was a longshot, but I was hoping someone would pick up on it. The true quote is “it’s hot in Topeka“, from Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. :)

[@multipletanksyndrome]

My favorite candy is Take 5. Something else i like, that you might, are these little lemon and fruit drops in a little round metal tin.

[@FishForThought]

oh shoot, i'ma need to try this

[@multipletanksyndrome]

@@FishForThought The lemon drops are something my Grandma loved. They're little, like pea size, and dusted in sugar, so they don't stick. Also, have you ever had a strawberry bonbon?

[@swordwhale1]

QOTW: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups... also: Church Lady Eggs... Every year before Easter, here in PA, all the Church Ladies at local churches get together and make peanut butter or coconut eggs covered in chocolate. Then they put them up in little boxes at small local stores, for $1 each. Those contain an inordinate amount of sugar so I found a way to make tasty, healthier ones: melty chocolate (somewhere in your grocery store) natural peanut butter (ingredients: squashed peanuts) almond or coconut flour (NOT wheat, you can't use wheat raw, alond or coconut is safe tho) mix PB and flour shape chill no no chill more roll into vaguely egg shape... or whatever melt chocolate (with a tiny bit of veg oil so it melts better) dip "eggs" in chocolate, put on cookie sheet, chill in fridge or freezer devour

[@FishForThought]

dang thx

[@Robert-s1k8p]

I love starbursts especially the orange ones

[@FishForThought]

[@drewzero1]

You can and will absolutely get mulm in fruity pebbles gravel, it's just food and fish poop that settles down inbetween the rocks. If you have fish in your tank and feed them you will get mulm. (Unless you empty your tank and put it all in the dishwasher every week...😮)

[@Attackkidd31104]

6:07 got a case of the lazy, huh? 😂🤣

[@FishForThought]

yeah

[@agirlnamedmichael1670]

Mulm is just decomposing organics. I always have some in my tank, but I leave it. I never vacuum my tank- I feel like it adds to the health of my ecosystem. If it were to get out of control I might remove some of it, but I try not to overfeed and it seems to keep in check =)

[@blackjackcwc]

My life is an aquarium, and FFT FTR on Mondays is like my water change. (PS, yes, my life is a planted tank, but not quite Walstad. I need that water change, trust me! Only way i make it through the week) SKITTLES!!

[@danielthompson3205]

6:52 thats gold .. black tannin for the neon. xD Daym and here my tank got yellow tanins i went and got some albino goowlight tetras

[@TheRealTMar]

Jelly babies! I am that kind of Whovian. Last week, I actually bought a bag of jelly babies to give to David Tennant (10th and 14th Doctor) this weekend, but he had to cancel the convention due to a change in work schedule. Guess I'm gonna eat them.....

[@Lauraetcetera]

Mid-video candid break for the win. Also...dark chocolate covered cherries (dried cherries, none of that over-saturated, soggy, syrup-y junk).

[@MichaelJBurnsII]

Chocolate is probably my number one. But for just sugary sweets, albanese Peach rings, and albanese gummy bears. Sooooo good.

[@hysteric_dreamerdink942]

That 1997 "betta tank"...my parents have glass drinking glasses that were gifted to them from their wedding in 1996 that legit are the exact same shape and size. The glass makers must have shifted their marketing strat lmao

[@FishForThought]

LMAO that's very interesting

[@MeanOldLady]

My natural tank is the cleanest one of my 3. The black water is pristine. Detritus worms, no hydra, a decent mulm layer & lots of visible soil layers. I just like the look of the various soil layers for extra color & texture elements.

[@FishForThought]

nice

The new gummy nerd clusters are unreal. Yes they are in Canada.

[@candiedragon]

Kopiko! I loved kopiko, they're kinda mysterious like those strawberry candy now that I think about it. You only find it in your friend's mom's car or something. Anyway that's not my favorite, mines is just called "golden candy". It's got a dried plum with some li hing mui covered in golden hard candy. Funny enough I stumbled across it this past weekend and picked up a bag and I'm eating it while watching this vid lol

[@FishForThought]

kopiko so goated!

[@DashDrones]

My favourite sweets (or candy) has got to be either Haribo Tangfastics or sour apple belts. I am a sucker for old people sweets too though like mints and 10 year old butterscotch hit different.

[@shreyasmaiti2754]

just got a tank ready for discus, my first time keeping them. Waiting for the tank to cycle.....

[@FishForThought]

awesome!!!

[@MissMeganBeckett]

8:30 yep I really want one of those tanks if I could get it for cheap to rehab my mail order plants so that they wouldn’t do all of their melting and algae phase inside my betta tanks because my shrimp can’t eat that much algae by themselves and I have to go in the tank with a toothbrush or it starts taking over all of the swimming space. By the way I found on Amazon the best algae tool for long algae is a pet toothbrush bristles 360° in silicone and each circle of bristles rotates independently from the other bristles, twirl it like spaghetti and it works a charm for getting the algae off the red root floater roots that’s some of them failing to convert to aquarium living after almost a week in the mail after a few months the original leaves are dying off again and some of them seem to be surviving well but they have so much algae growing on the roots from the ones that didn’t make it.

[@Graysharkieboi]

QOTW: Almost anything Blue Raspberry or chocolate. Specifically Snickers

[@TrueFlame2010]

I dunno if it counts, but I'm seasonal with my candy preferences (mostly because that's when you can get some of them): cadbury mini eggs, (Canadian) Smarties, peppermint candycanes.

[@OGBigGourami]

Albanese gummy bears. A fairly small company out of Indiana. They advertise themselves as 'The world's best gummy bear" and they are not wrong.

[@thatkidmorganmariah]

Those candies, but freeze dried. Also, FaveReds starbursts and sour skittles are the best versions of those.

[@FishForThought]

i love those yes!!!

[@chazz2426]

Fave candy would probably be Mon'ami. Which is pretty much Kopiko but strawberry.

[@FishForThought]

that sounds incredible i need that

[@Meg.Lorencen]

QOTW: pretty much anything where caralem is the mail part. Carmello? Yes please. Twix? Eh, it's okay. Straight up caramel? 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 Also, can confirm that the bladder snail tank is 100% for the pea puffers. When I had my peas, I had a bladder snail tank for live feeding. I miss having pea puffers, and even my husband admitted that of all the fish I've had, the pea puffers were his fav. Looks like I should get more pea puffers 😁

[@hysteric_dreamerdink942]

I didn't know they sold Starburst packages of just the pink strawberry ones. Where was this 20 years ago when I was 6????

[@jacquemillar2163]

[@Chompchompyerded]

AOTW: My favourite candy is sushi. Particularly hamachi, Otoro, Sake, Smoku Sake, Mintaiko, Masago, and Tai. Real Tai. Not the crappy American fake Tai. Real Japanese Tai. You know the old saying, "Even rotten, it's still tai!" It's made of WHAT?! Never mind. I don't like sushi. I guess I'll limit myself to tofu and noodles and pretend that's candy. If you add enough shoyu, and togarashi, you can make any noodles... well... passable. That's one of the things I learned in college. I don't think I learned anything else of lasting importance working through college to a PhD, But I did learn that. I also learned that those same ingredients don't do much to help rice, and that rice is best either freshly steamed, or stir-fried with lots of sesame seed oil and anything else you happen to have laying around. Roommate leave a chicken bone in the trash? Then you have something to put in the fried rice! If you're really student poor, you can just have fried rice with only whatever oil you happen to have around. Some onion will help it a lot. I did try to put nato in fried rice once. Let's just say it wasn't the best idea I've ever had, even though I like both nato and fried rice on their own. None of these things are really candy, but on the other hand, candy not so good for you, and leave you feeling hungry, so it's maybe not the best thing to put in your face. I also don't put fish food or turtle pellets in my mouth either. It's a good idea to know what kind of animal you're feeding, even when that animal is you. Feed healthily, and don't overfeed. It's just good animal husbandy. And if it's your kids and they're in college, keep up the tradition! Don't feed them at all! Make them lick algae off the glass. They'll learn more about how to spend and how to save that way.

[@rowan_jalso]

QOTW: SNICKERS BEST BOI! For sour candy I like the chewy sweet-tarts. Always find them in vending machines.
