[@orangescalefishy1258]

are Kuhli loaches ok in hard water? I have water of around 17 dGH

[@Kelly.Portillo5148]

Hello @KGTropicals I have been in the fish world now for about 3 years and just started watching your videos. I have a question. I have a planted 36 g bow front aquarium with a Fluval 207 canister and a sponge filter in the tank that is rated for 40 gallon tank. I have a heater keeping the tank at 80F. I do water changes each week and check the water levels with a liquid testing kit a few times a week. I would like to just have one larger fish in it and was thing about a blue jack dempsey. What are your thoughts and if not what is a larger fish that would do well as a single decorative fish. Thanks!

[@FierceMamma]

Kulhi loaches. Twice when I was in high school my Kulhi loach survived two tank crashes where I lost everything else. I did the same that was mentioned drained the tank down to only two inches and left it for a week when I went to clean the last to reset the tank I found them in the gravel alive and well. Plus they have the cutest faces.

[@pollynicklas5220]

We had an upside down catfish that was bulletproof!

[@raifhourieh6038]

Me on the second hand bought 4 kuhli loaches that were very good looking and found them all dead the second day and every time i want to buy more i feel afraid that they might also die, you guys gave me courage now to buy new ones wish me luck.

[@_DROM_]

My very first fish was a burgundy beta. He lived for 4 years in a 50L aquarium with a couple of guppies and tetras. He left them alone. I let my brother name him. He called Lu, for Lucifer, and ironically, the fish was an angel! 😂

[@shanes-aquatic]

I love love LOVE Oscars. I've had one jump out of the tank before as well. I was trying to hand feed him, lol. An honorable mention for incredibly durable fish for this list, Convict Cichlids. Probably the most durable fish i've ever experienced.

[@PlainsPup]

I can relate! My Oscar survived jumping out of his tank; my rescued bettas have thrived; my rainbow shark survived for years; and my guppies keep breeding like crazy! Gotta love bulletproof fish! Interesting note about bulletproof fish, though: they still have vulnerabilities. I’ve noticed that, as tough as common plecos are, they are still sensitive to nitrogen waste in the water, which causes their fins to recede. As for goldfish, they’re tough, too. However, I’ve noticed that if their pond is too shallow, the daily fluctuations in temperature can be lethal.

[@luiscarlosherreramarroquin2065]

Red devils: though you were dead! Oscar: my dead was extremely....exaggerated

[@DahLekKnight]

I don't get why people say Zebra Danios are lame-looking fish, but to each their own I guess. I think they look cool because the resemble other big fish. The regular zebra danio looks kind of like a striped bass, and the spotted variety of the species kind of reminds me of a trout. You get stripers and trout in your tank! How cool is that?!

[@dirtdawgz8326]

There pretty fish for sure.

[@sandwichboy2511]

I think they call them lame looking because people nowadays all want crazy colours that look crazy in a tank.

[@Dhruv_Dogra]

True

[@elizaalmabuena]

And interactive. Danios are amongst the most likely fish to come over and investigate if I press my finger against the glass in shops, they also like following it along as I move it. They would probably respond well to marker training and be the kind of fish you can teach tricks to.

[@lilialorbey]

​@@elizaalmabuena its bc they typically associate human hands with food!

[@milkshakemistake6239]

Rainbow sharks are one on this list that I have experienced first hand their hardiness. Like 4-5 years ago I was moving into a new house, the power had been off for a few days and we went in to clean out all the stuff the people who lived there before us had left. There was a half filled, 20 gallon tank with murky water left sitting in the living room, we went to dump it all out and there was a single rainbow shark in there. I’ve had him ever since, his name is Edison and he’s what got me into fish keeping because I started doing reasearch on him so I could take better care of him, got him filter, heater, much bigger tank, plants etc. and years later he’s still thriving.

[@robertlewis78]

That’s actually sick asf

[@Tipman2OOO]

Whaaaaaat that's so cool! You never know what blessings happen from bad situations!

[@Whips_World]

I had a Rainbow in a South American predator tank for years. They don't have teeth. They barely have a mouth, and yet, that thing basically ruled the tank. That 8" torpedo would chase the oscars, the convicts, the Pike and even the jaguar.

[@warpedlotus850]

It's really cool that a good amount of that resilience comes from these species evolving to "hibernate" through dry seasons by burrowing into the ground until disturbed.

[@fantasyskeep]

Idk where yall get guppies, but here in Tampa, they are one of the most fragile fish and are pretty much guaranteed to come with internal parasites. I'd even suggest that guppies are best when kept by advanced keepers.

[@BlackKoiRecords]

Top fish videos are back!!! In the words of Ice Cube, Today was a good day!

[@pokego19]

Instructions unclear. Shot my danio and it died and is not swimming

[@SlippyMcKnot8472]

I got myself a new tank and moved over an extra filter I had hooked up to my other tank so I could jump start my cycle. I just happened to be looking into the filter while I was filling the tank to make sure the filter started up. All of a sudden I thought I saw a fish in the filter swimming around. Turns out it was one of my Kuhli loaches. I have no clue how long he was in there, and thank God all the water didn't drain out while moving the filter over. Luckily, I was able to save the little guy. So for anyone wanting to keep Kuhli loaches make sure you have a pre-filter sponge on the intake.

[@KGTropicals]

Great story! Thanks for sharing! Just proving my point how resilient those little snake looking things are!

[@CrystalmarieGrz]

I bought a betta unplanned. I had just removed guppies from my 10 gallon into a 20 gallon. So I put the veil tail male into the 10 gallon until I got a 5 gallon cube. Well guess what he uses the whole tank so now I can’t imagine putting this little guy into a 5 gallon.

[@newerafrican]

I put a beautiful lavender-peach male into a 40 gallon live-bearer tank about 6 months ago. He went from a cup at PetsMart to a lively planted tank and he’s done great. He’s also helped control my guppy and platy population bomb there.

[@memydogsandi]

I can't believe you guys are the Cichlid people and Kribensis didn't make this list! The last time I had a tank I had four of these guys in it. I removed and sold the fish, I turned off the heater and filter. I drained the tank to 2 inches (if that). Then the tank sat there for SIX MONTHS. I FLEA BOMBED the house TWICE in that time - no, the tank was not covered. When I finally got around to selling the tank and my friend and I went to drain and clean it all the way, as we poured out the last of the water a Kribensis swam out. It was a huge mad panic to get a bucket of fresh water and throw the lil one back into water....my friend adopted him and called him "nuclear" (it was a toss up between that and "cockroach"). Apparently, unknown to me they bred in the tank prior to being removed. This guy must have survived initially by eating his siblings. No idea how he survived the flea bombs or lack of water and food for the rest of the time though.

[@Apistoleon]

I had a couple of Kribensis in late 80's. They had great personality. They were not too hardy for me. You were lucky, I guess!!

[@jaxxonfishroom]

Great video 😊 mine would be Danios, Corydoras, Angelfish and Red Tail Sharks

[@wanderingstar3255]

agree with corys! had 3 that lived in an inch of water and no food for 3 months after i 'emptied' a tank and didn't realize they were still there! oops lol

[@KCC22211]

Pleco and convict cichlids are my hardy fish. I was able to bread the convicts with an under gravel filter. 12 months later finally decided to do a full water change. Only to find several cichlids with giant heads and slim bodies.

[@Jeswald1]

YAY! Bettas and guppies, my two favorites. I have a story about my common plecos that is pretty incredible; too long to post here. My local fish rescue (Ken's Fich Rescue in Lynn, MA, TY for your help) has more full-grown plecos than you could imagine. PetcoSmart often has people who don't know about their full size (or don't care) to dissuade people with small tanks from buying them.

[@Amusementnational]

THESE KIND OF VIDEOS ARE MY FAV FROM U GUYS! 😊

[@blip-2024]

Pictus cats. Mine is almost 15. Several years ago, I didn't have an adequate lid on the tank. Our cats must have hooked him out of the tank. We found him (a bit crispy) between the couch cushions. He was still alive so our son put him back in the tank. After a brief rest on the bottom of the tank, he swam off like nothing happened.

[@hollystop]

Agree about Bettas! I got one when I was in middle school (without doing research) got home did a bunch of research then a week or two later put him in a 5 gallon then 2 years later upgraded him to a 10 gallon and he lived for 4-5 years! I definitely didn’t clean the tank enough but he lived 😂😢😢😢 (I still have nightmares….)

[@ccsorn]

Brother and I each had a 10g with a betta (10&11y.o). After 3 months, his tank was down to 2g and literally pitch black. I went to take his tank & was shocked to find the betta alive 😮. I took it and it lived another year.

[@thominaduncanson7596]

Had the common (blue stripes) zebra danios, and as long as the light was on, so was the favorite danios game-“I chase you, then you chase me!” (No danios were harmed during their game of tag) And always had to put two separate food “piles” at each end of the tank, otherwise the danio cheetahs would eat most of the pile…even my large, stately pearl gouramis who would prod the zebra danios with their ‘antennas’ did not intimidate them. 😆

[@markmeador1137]

I have a farm in North zTexas. My son won a goldfish at a carnival. He decided it needed more room so he dumped it into our horse water tank. Two years later I saw this foot long goldfish. That tank freezes solid in the winter. We never fed this fish or anything. Amazing

[@KrockRockinNocks]

Goldfish create a type of alcohol that prevents them from freezing to death.

[@Breaking_Beard]

I had a 5g tank that crashed while i was out of town and i thought everything in it was dead. I unplugged everything and stopped feeding. I added some water with no dechlorinator just so it wouldnt be empty. 4 months later, I decided to clean it out and start over and i see a little pygmy cory swimming around. 4 months in the winter with no heat, food or filtration and the little dude is still swimming around. Promptly did a water change and fed him and he seems super happy

[@David-rx5eo]

Goldfish for the win. I have almost 40 goldfish in an old spa that my mom turned into a pond. It does get down to freezing here in the winter, and these goldfish have survived just fine for years. Unfortunately this year I lost 4 of them, because the spa/pond starting leaking, got tow low, an too cold. All 4 of those were small ones that I had added this year. I took all the goldfish out, put them in a 50 gallon container, patched up all the holes, jets, etc. on that old spa, so it no longer leaks. I have also added a heater to keep it a little warmer in the winter. That old spa/pond now has 2 waterfalls, a fountain in the middle, a UV light, and an ionizer to keep to keep the algae under control, as well as the heater. It as has a big filter on it. This pond has never looked this good before.

[@jennywade8664]

I rescued a couple of goldfish from a friend of my mothers, the tank was green you could barely see the fish in the water. They had been really neglected because they were a gift from a former boyfriend of hers. I took them cleaned the tank and then got a new one shortly after and they lived with me for many years after.

[@GrumpyGillsFishing]

Things to consider Pleco - grows to big Danios - everyone I’ve seen local has crooked spines Guppies - every female I’ve brought home died from columnaris Oscars - too aggressive Betta - eh go ahead Loaches - don’t know nothing about them Goldfish - grow too big and produce too much waste Rainbowsharks - same as loaches

[@HeRo-qd6tk]

I missed those videos. Reminds me of my beginnings watching them all !!! ❤

[@akosmarton8339]

Well I bougth guppies from stores many times, and they just don't last over a month, BUT the fry came out of them seems bulletproof, and the guppies I get from other fishkeepers are definetly bulletproof. Which is weird, but this is my experience so far. Bettas are very far from being bulletproof. Bettas tend to get sick easily even if you treat them the best way possible. Plecos are great, they can survive everything, I don't have exprience with the other mentioned fish.

[@ccsorn]

Many guppies are from farms with brackish water. The fri born in your tank are born into fresh water , so they thrive there. Great news for us guppy lovers.

[@LocalGuy83]

Im a serial killer when it comes to guppy fish. They are some beautiful fish for the short time they live. Pretty sure im done trying because I always feel bad when they die. 😢

[@spiritualspinster4222]

I vote for Ropefish. I had one for many years that got huge. I found him on the floor one day after coming home from work. He was pretty dried out but after throwing him back in the tank, by the next morning he was fine and lived for several more years. I love these fish!

[@Mrs.WarmWaffle]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't seem to keep any guppies alive :( I've had fish tanks for over 25 years, but all the guppies I've had dies. My cardinal tetras live and thrive, my ancistrus live an beeds but my guppies dies. I fed up. My parents had fish tank when I grew up in the 80's and they had goldfish with guppies in a 16 gallon tank! The guppies had babies. The tank was full of plants and hiding spots, but They had it for years. And I can't keep my guppies alive in a regular 66 gallon tank!

[@andreashessler838]

Three words 'medaka rice fish'. Unbelievably hardy and virtually indestructible in a pond. I have them outdoors all year round lower than -5c and, sometimes over 35c . Every year there are more in the pond.

[@jamesnguyen_1]

Yep but they have a short life span

@@jamesnguyen_1 2-3 years is fine. Their lifespan is shortened by keeping them in warm tanks as it increases their metabolism . Same with goldfish.

I'm currently helping an old lady out. found that she has a fishtank and a seemingly pretty old pleco in there, plus a few widow tetras and only the roots and small living sign of some former plants. i did a little bit of research on the pleco and was wondering which plant i could buy for her tank the pleco won't eat. do you have any suggestions? she was embarassed that she only had a few fish left in her tank for her husband died and she was no longer able to go and buy new fish on her own. I got her a school of neon tetras and now she asked for some plants.

[@azurehanyo]

Plecos will eat anything that starts to melt, so try some hardier things like various javas and anubias that you can affix to drift wood. The drift wood will not only anchor the plants, but it will provide biofilm for the pleco to eat.

[@valrdjem]

I had a parrot chilid that took a flying leap onto a hard tile floor from about 5 feet up. He was stunned for a bit but then acted like nothing happened. At one time I had a birshir (sp?) and a jack Dempsey that were buddies and came to the top of the tank for pets. The only fish I have ever had that did that. I think they both were over 10 years old when I had to rehome them due to divorce. Hope they are still going somewhere.

[@bjjbrawler1]

I had a Khuli Loach hide in the sand as well for months. There was water in the tank but he only came out as I was draining it and scooping out the sand. I thought he must have jumped out but never found anything on the floor lol.

Ive tried a few different things but still had about 4 " die-offs" over the last year or so. Oh and all babies and juvenile guppies live through it

I actually outside the fact my blackskirt tetra stories can match the your stories about every other fish, I'm not very fond of the fish. But when I wasvkeeping fish I always wind up keeping blackskirt tetras. Tiger barbs seem to be pretty hardy too. Sometimes I would have tanks with blackskirt tetra, Tiger barbs, Common guppies,, three types of Danio , Khuhki Loachs and Common plecos. I found Covict Cichlids pretty much bulletcproof.

I’m struggling keeping baby mystery snails alive. How to take care of the little baby mystery snails? How often do u feed them? New borns? Month old to two months old? How many days do u leave alga wafer in the water? Is Big wafer ok for tiny baby mystery snails? Or is tiny bits of wafer ok? I tried but they all died within a month or two. Do u do water changes every two weeks? How big of a tank do you need? The water level do they full or half of the water? Do they need a 20 gallon? Help!

Had two for over 15 years. Got them before I knew better. Ended up making them their own 100 gallon indoor pond. I was actually sad when they passed. They do need lots of food, especially when they get big so maybe that’s why you have trouble, but unless you have a really big tank not a fish to consider if that’s not obvious

[@squiddysan]

I'm sorry, but I have to be that person... I'm a returning hobbyist, cycled a 180L (47.5 US gallons), heavily planted tank (medium to fast growing plants), gradually introduced fish after cycle was complete - cory cats, cherry barbs, dwarf gourami as a centerpiece fish. Did everything by the book, checked parameters regularly with a liquid test kit, since it's a new tank (cycled, but not established). Everything was fine, so I decided to add some more liveliness to it. Went to my LFS, got a decently sized school of longfin zebra danios and 9 guppies. I originally wanted platies, but they were being treated for something, so I went with guppies. A week later, I'm down to 5 guppies, with another one slowly deteriorating. While, yes, it was an unfortunate case of cross-contamination with a tank that had a bad columnaris outbreak... It was also a reminder of why you should always quarantine new fish. I started treatment immediately after seeing first signs of illness (with what I have available, since.... Well, Europe.), and fortunately, the other fish are doing perfectly fine, but I'm pretty sure I'll eventually lose all my guppies. That, and your oscar stories make me want to get a big tank so I can keep oscars again 🤣 I miss my baby, he was such a goofball.

[@celticbarry9877]

I would definitely recommend platys over guppys or mollies as a colourful livebearer. For me they are the strongest of the 3, I have very soft water and platys do fine, live full lives, breed with fry making it all the way to breeding themselves and living 1.5-2.5 years where as guppys and mollies do not last a month if I ever get any.

I can vouch for the pleco. Had one with an ex. 3 months after we broke up I went back to grab some stuff and the tank had nothing but about a half gallon of brown water and the pleco happy as a could be.

Hi their. My 8 year old pleco died tonight. I'm struggling to figure out what was wrong with him. He has a poop that looked bloody hanging out of him. He gave me no signs he was sick. My other fish in my other tank are also dying. I have done water tests after water tests also treated them with so many treatments and nothing has changed. I moved to a new place and we are on well water I'm wondering if their is something in my water that is killing my fish. I'm devastated about my pleco 8 years old and no issues. Please help me save the rest of my fish 😢💔💔💔😭😭😭😭

I gave my betta 5 gallons, heater, filter, light, natural environment/decor. It still died after about a year. I had a betta much longer in a 1.5 gallon, with no heater or filter, he lived for many years. Go figure!

Mine was dead in under 10 days. It was Fed and had Clean Water. But got it from Walfart.. I mean Walmart when they still sold fish. Every Fish I got from them Died...

I would never keep a bettas under 20 Gallon. The bigger, the best. I think of we adopt a animal, we should give them a loving, nice and good life. Animals are living creatures with a own character, needs and conditions. And its our job to fullfil that. And if we can't keep the responseability, we should not have animals. They deserve a awesome life
