Rachel O'leary can u mak a video of koi fish

[@PinkBlue_Spood]

They're so pretty 💙 My favorite would have to be corydoras pygmaeus. They're so tiny and adorable! It's really cool to see lot's of them schooling in a larger tank.

[@babyteargardens6240]

Those Gold Laser Corys are really pretty

[@cd1673]

I love those orange lasers!! Have you ever done a Kuhli Loach spotlight? (Striped or banded?) Do you like them? They are just so unique 😊😎

[@GirlTalksFish]

Woohoo, gorgeous little fish! My favorite cory (and fav fish overall) is albino corydoras. I know they're very common, but I love how active, outgoing, and derpy they are. Plus, their pink iridescence looks super striking on black substrate. 😍

[@MELODYMUNRO]

Finally...someone else whose favorite colour is orange..The walls and ceiling in my bedroom is orange, my curtains are orange and my bed spread and even my pc is orange...it's my place to chill.

[@ZeeSensfan93]

Thanks for the spotlight! Really great feature, may have made up my mind on a bottom dweller for my new planted tank. I'm not sure if you have done one, but a feature on Rams or Butterfly cichlids would be awesome! Thanks for all you do for the hobby

[@mharrii]

Panda Corys are my favorite. They may not be uncommon or rare, but I love watching them. I have 5 at the moment and want to get 6 more. 4 weeks ago you could not help to trip over the little buggers, everyone had them. I wait 1 week and they have disappeared off the face of the earth in my area. Sooo, still waiting and looking.

[@summerspradleysmomtalesof3998]

Great video. Thank you very much for close captioning your video, it is much appreciated.

[@DaggyGuins]

Hi Rachel, another very informative video. As always, much appreciated.

[@trose22k]

A just got a few Cory cats that are very similar looking from my local privately owned pet store. I was told that they are known as green or electric green corys. They only had a few and said they probably weren't going get more. I got the two they had left. They're absolutely beautiful. Have you ever heard of this variety? Thank for all your awesome videos!

[@arenoskarlaen4951]

My first ever planted aquarium is now fully cycled! Whoop Whoop! I can now look forward to getting a Betta!

[@Richard-zm6pt]

Thank you, Rachel. How large does this Cory get? They are striking.

[@Flipperwi715]

I love all the fish you have in that tank. I want it moved into my home. hehe. Thanks for the video!

[@Ourfrenchiegirls]

Would love to see any-type Cory breeding project. Love them all 💕

[@michaelgross1738]

Great video Rachel! I asked about these in livestream! I am so glad you did a species spotlight on them. Have never found them in my area but Ill keep my eye out. Cheers

[@MKM070]

Rachel you are a hero ! First of all you look great today!Thankyou so much for answering my question in your last video,( sorry for such a time taking question..!) Thanks for sharing all your knowledge, you are the one who got me into nanofish I've got a 14gall planted tank now but im saving my money to buy a big aquarium like yours and stock it with cute, beautiful looking small fish!:) keep on making greats videos like these!

Always such great info, Rachel, thanks!

[@moodswinggaming2972]

NO way, i wrote a comment recommending these when you asked about some fish for your new tank, have 8 myself in a community tank.... the really trippy thing is, i was watching those fish room tour videos on YT just last night ( you are in one ) and i thought to myself, why does no one seem to have them the other side of the Atlantic. Then bam..... i love em, so glad you got them, whether you read my comment or not. ( i said to get lekky blue rams too )

[@babyteargardens6240]

You post a lot of great videos.

[@madfishdiva]

Beautiful little corys

[@lookwithinandsee]

I really love these, and would love to have some. I have German blue & gold rams, an albino bristlenose pleco (baby) and a whiptail catfish in my 75 gallon. Do you think it'd be bad for me to add a small school of these?! I don't know if thay would interfere with each other since they are on the bottom. Although my pleco is usually all over the place and the catfish sleeps all day under the wood. Thanks Rachel!

[@gourabsarkar837]

I really love your videos.

[@FishRfun]

I just ordered 4 of these. Pricey little lovelies...I already have 2 sterbai, 2 fairy, and 2 paleatus corys in my 55g denison barb and praecox rainbows tank. Its a little overstocked but I run 2 seachem tidal 110s and the water is always spot on. The way I've scaped it, if you step back 3 feet from the tank, it doesn't look overcrowded at all, buy by the numbers it's overstocked

[@thomashenrymyers1876]

I have just added 6 to my aquarium and they look great they they show up great on my black Fluval substrate.

[@brianjeffries207]

I have 7 Sterbi Cory's in my 75 gallon planted community tank. Can I add a few of these Gold Lasers with my Serbi's? If so, how many. Love the channel.

[@drewmo2525]

Ever considered doing a spotlight on the Diamond Tetra (Moenkhausia Pittieri)? A truly underrated little beauty in my opinion!

[@LittleLargeMouth]

I love these!

[@marksguitars5617]

they look good in the tank with those black neon tetras

[@captaingreenbeardscove8304]

Wow. Orange is my favorite color too :)

[@RachelOLeary]

you have excellent taste

[@NOoneENV]

Great video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SimplyBetta]

I love these guys, but I’m getting ready to sell my breeding group of 16. I have to focus on my other fish

[@bradwhite8495]

Hi Rachel! Hey I love the Cory's. What is the very colourful fish that pops into the video? I have seen this fish a couple of times in your aquarium but I have no clue what it is. Thanks! Brad.

[@RachelOLeary]

its a male endler's livebearer

[@bradwhite8495]

Thank you Rachel, for all the work you do on your videos! I have watched many of them and I find them very informative. I am working on a larger aquarium build (freshwater) so I am being an information sponge.

[@VincentVader]

Those are awesome! I wish I could find them in my area. I currently have eggs on my glass where I have 8 albino corrys. 20 black neons and 10 lamp eye tetras. How do i make sure they aren't eaten if they hatch out?

[@warrendyver1055]

Hi Rachel. What type of Apistos are they in this video?

[@morphman32]

Hello Rachel, I would really like for you to make a video about the African Butterfly Fish please. I'm wanting to setup a tank with them and also have some small corydoras catfish as tank mates. What do you think?

[@impish97]

they look way darker/more greyish then the ones on google. are the google ones just with heavy lighting or photoshop?

[@BIGJIM1934]

I have a group of 12 and they're mature. Is there anything special for them to spawn? My pH is 7.5-8.5 water temp is 78° it's a heavily planted tank with anubius and Amazon swords. I have a HOB filter and a power head attached to a sponge filter. I have albino Coreys and bronze Coreys. My bronze are like bunnies! I feed them a good flake food and brine shrimp. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@jackburton6998]

Thanks O'Leary.

[@lisafoster4468]

I often thought about getting these guys, but I never really got to see what they really looked like. Relatively cold-water for cories. Maybe they will fit in with my 74F goldfish tank.

[@AngellusBlack]

Whenever you can get your hands on them, you should do a species spotlight on the Checkerboard Cichlid, Dicrossus filamentosus.

[@FishRfun]

I finally found a seller online who had some gold lasers in stock. I just ordered 4. In my 55g denison barb tank have 8, well this will make the 9th species of cory in that tank. With the 4 gold lasers, it will make 22 corys. Is that too much? Ive done a great job on the hardscape so its not crowded and there's tons of caves, plants, hiding spots ...corys have a bigger bioload than say my praecox rainbows, so i run 2 seachem tidal 110s with a lot of matrix in them. I use purigen and a uv sterilizer as well. So really my question is, is 22 corys too much? Ill actually have 10 species of corys because 6 are pygmies in my 15g white cloud/betta tank.

[@Bloodhoundfostermom]

Oh,I need them !!😍😍😍😍😍

[@chrisspanks7750]

Hi Rachel.. Do you keep corydoras Duplicareus and if so do you have any tips on breeding ? Love your channel.. Keep it up

I have in the past, but did not breed them.

Beautiful fish. Have you ever had pupfish?

[@tombradyandme]

Hi Rachel - is there a difference between green and gold laser corydoras? Someone sold me 10 and calling it gold green lasers. Please help.

[@Vadasz86]

Hey Rachel have you talked about spiny eels much like the peacock eel or the fire eel? I have two peacock eels in one fire eel on myself love them

[@allan7934]

G. Rams. Want to learn more. their small, colorful and full of character.

[@teddybonkers3580]

I've been wanting to get a group of these for a while now but they are over $20 a piece. Any new corydoras variety I get at least six at a time. $110+ for six is outrageous.

[@larrymorales4089]

If you're still looking for them lmk, 4 for 40 on this website

[@savannam.7048]

The common albino are my favorite Cory species in general, though I love them all, corydoras are just my favorite for aquariums at all. I have a sterbai with some sort of defect that I bought, he's about half the length he should be fully grown, so he looks like a Cory head with tiny find, and he's thriving in my tank with other ....atypical... Fish. There are some other corys in there and he spends his time with them and they're all happy. He may be my favorite that I personally have just because he's a special little guy! If never breed him (I guess it could actually be a her,) which is why he's not in with sterbais or other compatible species. But if he's happy, I'm happy. :)

[@alphaandomega3981]

That's awesome Cory's are my favourite too I have these and 8 other species!! Lots of emerald greens I have right now I've got them to breed.

[@fishandfishing8714]

Hello from Sweden! Great video, as always! I keep Killies (fundulopanchax gardneri nigerianus) 2 males to 5 females as of right now in a 120 liters (approx. 40gallon?) and it seems to be working really well. So you can understand why I was positively pleased with your video about nano fish in bigger tanks. They behave quite different and looks to be happier than in a smaller tank. They have spawned multiple times although I suspect my siamensis vacuum not only the algae if you know what I mean... So, yeah, it would be great if you would consider doing a spotlight on my type of killie, always looking forward to learn more. // Sandra

[@taylorjoe]

Gorgeous little Corys! Would you say it`s vital to keep them in a tank with sand as substrate? I have read mixed reviews on that, saying that fine gravel will do just as well, since they seem to be found hovering above and hoovering through both. Would love to add some to my community tank, and the only reason I haven`t purchased any so far has been that exact question. I dont want them to hurt their beautiful little bristles due to the gravel in my tank.

[@RachelOLeary]

I think smooth substrate is important, but not necessarily sand. They do not bury their faces to eat, so its not critical that it be sand, but a smooth surface for sure

[@jnstarry]

What is the difference between gold neon laser and orange neon laser ?

[@nsturge11]

I love Skunk Corys but these are pretty too

[@anthonyragan2696]

First, I have to get a chair like yours. 😀 Do the corys lose their "laser stripe" as they get older? I seem to recall reading that somewhere.

[@brianmyers6175]

Very cool

[@shieraseastar9300]

I used to breed corys. Wouldn't mind trying to breed these gorgeous Lasers!

[@martinsfische]

What a nice Cory spezies. I like them a lot👍 I have a large Group of C. paleatus albino, which I bred. You can see them in my Profile Picture.

[@purplesneakers3343]

The little brown guy has a Micky Mouse silhouette in his markings on his left side camera world maybe his right side? If you look at him when he’s on the right side of the pellet with all the other fishies around him you can see it. 💜🐢

[@shaynesteenkamp8410]

I need some of them!!!

[@Zielonyzbaniakiem]

👍 nice fish

[@leeroysfish7596]

I love the panda Cory has to be my favourite and on I'm trying to get breeding in the future

[@thebeigesheep6132]

Wait orange and gold are the same cory? I thought it was 2 separate colors

[@zeninsyt]

I have some as well and they are nice ... however, my farourite cory are the large Emerald Brochis Cory ;)

[@Joy1957K]

Thanx Rachel. Just a question. Can I keep my corys in with newly hatched fry or will they attack them at night when the babies tend to settle towards the bottom. I have never attempted this and thought corys might keep the bottom a little cleaner for me.

[@RachelOLeary]

i find that mixing fry of different types rarely goes as we plan

[@Joy1957K]

Okie thank you for your reply. I think I will err on the side of caution on this idea as I am breeding my first time mated Lyre Tail Angels. They have just laid eggs. Thanx again xox

[@vmabraham]

Hello Rachel, I'm new to the hobby and really appreciate your videos. I wondered what's the name of the one fish in this tank that has a black spot and blue, green and orange coloration? That one is outstanding!

[@RachelOLeary]

+Rose 31 that is a male endlers livebearer

[@HeatherNielsenScarletAquatics]

They are sexy indeed! My current favorite Cory is Panda but these are so beautiful!

[@JaketSnake]

[@frankstockton4480]

Was thinking of having a display tank until I’m setup for a specific fish to spawn then remove them and place them back in the display when they have done their thing. How do you feel about that?

[@RachelOLeary]

+Jabir Stockton it works well

[@tsarminyabright984]

Saw a full grown one in my LFS over the weekend. Someone wanted to put it on hold until the $30 price was pointed out to her.

[@TheBSideDJ]

is this specie related to the aeneus ? I kept simular ones on 15 degrees for about 2 weeks, and they a were laying eggs (still very young fish) a month ago inn a seperate tank that was on 18 degrees. I'm not sure about the temperature, so I raised it to 22 degrees. I thougt the golden laser was selectively bred in captivity, originating from the aeneus, but i'm not sure. Has anyone furter information / about origine and experience keeping them in unheated tank (17 - 18 degrees) during the winter ?

[@freshfalcon3996]

What’s that super colorful fish in the foreground??

[@RachelOLeary]

probably the male endler livebearer

[@freshfalcon3996]

Rachel O'leary yes! I just looked up that fish. Stunning!! Never heard of it before. Thank you.

please stop making videos like this. i love all the fish you showcase on and i am currently in super duper hyper confusion as to what to do in my 10G tank (its in cycling now) and as the date of cycle completion comes near i watch ya vids and i go into hyper anxiety about the fish to add. help me....or i will tell joey to play the shock device game with you again. ps: i am the same guy who asked about the rcs and betta combo, and also the spotted leopord danio fish with orange fins (don't remember its actual name). love your vids. i cannot keep what joey keeps(he has stingray and arowana ) but you vids are practical for me and many.

[@Wetsleevesagain]

In the uk, the gold corys are super expensive when compared to all the others. £18 a pair. The best corys are panda. So playful.

[@RachelOLeary]

they are expensive here as well, about $12+ a fish

Hi Rachel, I just wanted to ask you if Laser Cories are found naturally or if they are a result of inhumane human experimentation.

[@RachelOLeary]

+nazeem ameen 100% natural

[@bradfjord]

selective breeding isn't inhumane or human experimentation

[@nazeemameen1253]

Brad Birch Well I respect your view but I choose to disagree with it.

[@bradfjord]

I plan on selectively breeding my cherry shrimp by separation rather than culling. The most vivid shrimp stay in the same tank and the mutts get to diddle around in other tanks. I don't have any plans to euthanize animals that don't meet an appearance standard, that just sounds awful
