Can we get a fish room tour? Feels like its been a long time since we saw a brief description all the tanks. All of ur tanks are just so inspiring

[@space_ghost_z941]

Agreed looks nice in the background! I like the dim lighting and that super huge planted tank!

[@rachelgracetrepanier8076]

I have a 10 gallon tank with 4 beautiful male Endlers and 1 gorgeous male Betta. Lots of nano plants and caves. They are soo happy together! Truly a great combination, no nipping, no drama, no fights, just lots of action and laughs.

[@jasmineahmad47]

best combo ^

[@user-it8bi5mo3t]

“You wanna move out of your mom’s house and act like a big boy , right?” I was laughing so hard I spit out my morning coffee! Thank you! As a guy with 5 nano tanks, I appreciate your support! lol!

[@lemonlizard1]

Sunset honey gouramis and green neon tetras all the way! I literally can't get bored of the colour combination

[@stevep6317]

I have a tank with an opal colored female betta and 2 purple mystery snails. And it's planted with an absolute jungle of dwarf sag. I can't get enough of that setup.

[@thehairywoodsman5644]

near where I live, there's a store called , Pet Supplies Plus, they have a smallish live fish section. one day while browsing I noticed tons of baby guppies and mentioned them to the person working that area. she said , do you want some? we cannot sell them because they're not in inventory so we give them away, mostly as Betta food ! I said yes please I'll take as many as you can catch ... she sent me home with about 35, I now I have about 350 in various tanks and tubs....all different kinds I've had problems in the past with guppies dying within a week or so of buying them, but these babies all survived. I believe its because they were born in water with parameters like mine and never shipped cross country to new completely different water.

[@johncameron4194]

Cool

[@KhaeLikesCoffee]

I like pet supplies plus. The one nearest me gets nano fish that the other chain stores close by don't carry. It's the only store I've actually seen carry pea puffers.

[@thehairywoodsman5644]

@@KhaeLikesCoffee the one I go to is in Tyler Tx. they get pea puffers too.

[@johncameron4194]

Oh that’s good to know. Thanks

[@karenblevins1562]

My favorite in my area. It's a great little store.

[@Whips_World]

Brad Williams is HILARIOUS. "You're gonna have to toss the Dwarf."

[@markmurray3193]

I have a 10 gal, that right now I have 1 Ember Tetra, 2 Neon Tetras (these 3 are all that's left from when I had 1/2 dozen of each together), 3 Otocinclus Catfish, and 4 Golden Zebra Danios. The Danios hang out higher in the tank, the Ember & Neons occupy the middle, and the Ottos scrounge at the bottom and help keep the glass clean, and nobody bothers anyone!

[@mich421]

Try to reproduce danios it's very simple

[@user-zi9xz4mm6c]

Bro do water changes. Once a week. Those fish live 3 to five years if you do regular water changes. And if you have real plans, you van do water changes every 3 weeks

[@user-cw5ni9tf2q]

@@user-zi9xz4mm6ccan different small tetras school with each other? Like neons and embers?

[@sassytherabbit]

We have otos, male clown killifish and a pygmy corydora in our ten gallon. One of kilifish is now best friends with the pygmy corydora. They're always together swimming side by side and that one killifish acts like the pygmy corydora. They turned out to be a great combo!

[@florencetheunicorn]

I love this list! I currently have neons and glo-lite neons in my planted 10 gallon! Before my grandmother moved in, I had a 29 gallon community tank with dalmatian mollies, black neons, rummy nose, 2 coris, and 2 mystery snails... with a betta. I miss that tank.

[@PlainsPup]

I keep African dwarf frogs in my 10 gallon tank. They’re really cute!

[@MrDanAng1]

I had problems keeping Guppies alive, until I hardened up the water, now they just breed like crazy. Sometimes you need to find the code, then it's suddenly simple! 😀

[@Adam-hh5xl]

Thanks guys for all your tips and insight. You got me back into the aquarium hobby and loving my 10gal full of Tetras and Molly's

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

Nicely put, guppies are a solid winner along with platies 😊!

[@DymondPrincess27]

I love these kinds of videos gives me great ideas! I’m a woman with a 10 & 37 gallon. Lol! I’m just getting back into the hobby seriously this time. I’ve got minnows, zebra danios & endlers currently.

[@Smokeybluetheraccoon]

What an awesome video idea!

[@sum1liteamatch]

Neon tetra in a 10? Heck, I've got them in my 55. I absolutely love a giant group of them together and a little gourami in there to make them school up a bit

[@azurehanyo]

Love a huge school of neons.

[@MissFishBubbles]

Loving these videos you do thankyou. I had fish as a teenager back when internet was only just surfacing. This time round I can learn and understand my fish better. I’ve got a larger tank with Betta, Guppies, Otos and Neons .. bought a group of CPDs but sadly 2 have lived…there were little ones and 2 larger ones and I think the 2 larger went against the smaller ones..I’m not sure. The 2 left are fine though and seem to hang around with the tetras 😂 But loving the descriptions you give on fish and details about them. Learnt a lot ❤

[@tree.65]

Thank you for showcasing 10 gallon community aquariums! The secluded times of covid brought me back to fishkeeping. Your channel has taught me so much about giving these little fishies their best life. I have a few 10 gallons. Each had a betta along with a mystery snail and tetras. Now I am venturing into a 40b. I hope you will show more fish combos in each size aquarium. Can we have a tour of your aquariums and pond? Like a real life tour. Who cares if there algae on the glass or wherever. I'm sure the fish, snails, shrimp like it that way.

[@CJBlack265]

Thank you John and Lisa 💕👍

[@user-pd8xb3cz1n]

How about a video about white cloud mountain minnows and what fish make good tank mates for them. I LOVE THEM THERE SO ADORABLE AND ACTIVE .

[@KhaeLikesCoffee]

My currently empty ten gallon appreciates the suggestions.

[@carlwagers9829]

@3:40 Nice tank, Lisa! It looks great!

[@Vincent-kx9ze]

One boring fish? How dare? NO fish is boring! 👿😂

[@TappyTappys]

Love your fish thanks for all your amazing videos

[@thefishguy13551]

I like the combination of chili rasboras, cherry shrimps and Pygmeus coradoras.

[@breezy_echo]

Since John very fond of cichlids, a pair of German Blue Ram and few nerite snails! they have stunning coloration and active fish also they wont destroy your plant in the tank, plus you'll might get some little junior from the pair if the conditions are fit!

[@Greenhenben678]

Just what I needed 😊

[@user-vx2qw2vx2o]

Hi edagdwg God bless you thanks for sharing love watching pat fish enjoying each other a forever loving fan Linda j.peace

[@michaelanonymous7935]

This would be an awesome series! I know you have some on community tanks but I think a look at different combos for each size would be awesome

[@Greenhenben678]

FR

[@dmitrimikrioukov5935]

Gourami are like bettas. They fight all the time. You either keep one or a whole school, like with cichlids.

[@sewerrat7612]

Depends on the Type of gourami but agree with you that most of them are.

[@johncameron4194]

Nice list.I do like to keep my zebras in a 20 long so they have more room.

[@danm8004]

I have to partially disagree on zebra danios and white clouds for 2 main reasons. Firstly the minnows naturally hover in place at night which is a really cool behaviour, but the danios will prevent that. Second, the minnows will breed quite successfully with no intervention if they're kept species only. It's not a bad combo, but you can get way more out of your white clouds if you leave the zebras at the store.

[@MickyTubbs1985]

Thhhhaaaank You for the video and comments within. 👏🙂

[@chrissyosborne3879]

I absolutely love your videos!

[@laurendoerr]

In my 10g I currently have Harlequin Rasbora, male Platy's and a Neirite Snail. I also have male guppies in quarantine that will be going in that tank soon. Most 10g tanks I have had in the past have housed male bettas with tank mates, often platys. Bettas and Platys is probably my favorite combo for small tanks.

[@DavidTucker85]

I have kept raspboras and a betta in a 15 gallon for years. My kids love that tank!

[@terrygorsch386]

I love my 10 gallon planted tank with Platies and Neons 🤓🐠

[@blueiceaquatics8205]

Great video! Got my Oscar shirt looks great. Can't wait to get the Beta one.

[@lisastevens128]

I love my platinum comb tail betta, but the only other fish he doesn’t harass in his tank ended up being 3 kuhli loaches. It such a great combo to watch.

[@dings7301]

You're allowed to say dwarf it's ok lamo 😂 great list!

[@punkrockpapa84]

Hey ive been listening through the podcast and i just got to the episode where you discovered smallville! I had to message and say smallville is my all time favorite superman series! Loving the channel and the podcast especially! I wish there were more fish keeping podcasts! Just wanted to throw that out there!

[@ScissorsProduction]

Giant gourami + Oscar + Silver arowana(Optional)

[@proudcomarade]

Red tail catfish + 7 arapaima best combo for 10 gal

[@ScissorsProduction]

@@proudcomarade great option, I think personality id add 97 common plecos to clean the algae

[@theboywiththedoublex]

Don't forget the pleco to eat the poop 😹

[@valentine_n]

I have a 10 gallon which is 3 feet long with 1 female bettas, 6 strawberry rasboras, 6 ember tetras, 6 pygmy corydoras, 2 bumblebee gobies and 1 apple snail.

[@prolaysantra27]

I have kept Minnows with Panchax.. And shrimps with Cardinals. And bettas with Cory cats..

[@HapiPETSWM]

I watch with my wife! Lol and we have big tanks full of small fish and also others with my cichlids or goldfish and one big tank for 2 koi. Oh and the new roadhouse was good, it’s its own entirely different movie and I agree the mistake was linking it roadhouse with Patrick swayze. Stay happy and healthy 😊❤

[@Jack_Splendens]

Great combos, I have only 1 question. If I have gravel substrate with big gravels, here I mean 1,5 centimeter sized ones, can I keep kuhli loach or cory catfish or should I change the gravel substrate to smaller sized gravel before I buy bottom dwellers ?

[@josieleugner546]

I loved my Danios and Harlequins!

[@RobertCentric]

As a kid I had a tank of beautiful guppies that came from keeping the most colorful feeder guppies. Technically they came from a 25 gallon common tank, but I kept the best looking one in a 10 gallon tank in the living room. Once you learn to not mess with the tank much and have a bunch of bushy easy to grow plants for the fry to survive amongst that population will explode.

[@curtiscrump7153]

Nice timing as I am looking t tank mates for my 10 Zebra Danios in a 29 gallon

[@GreenPhantomPleco]

I know you said not too but another idea is dwarf gold barbs and asian stone catfish. No heater needed

[@FTFSupremacyROBLOX]

Snails can also go with shrimp and guppies, in fact they'll do just fine with about everything but puffers.

[@HelpMeSpock]

or loaches, esp. skunk loaches, and goldfish

[@johncameron4194]

What more could I ask for? Well a bigger tank! 😁

[@williamavery1758]

I have my 10 gallon planted tank setup with a betta and 3 shrimp and 4 white cloud minnows and they thrive

[@BryanH63]

My 10 gallon is awesome. I have 6 Neons, 4 Zebra, 2 Green Tiger Barbs, 2 Albino Tiger Barbs and a pair of Calico Swordtails. My maintenance crew is 2 albino Corys, 2 Otocinclus and 2 mystery snails. My tank is heavily planted and all the plants are growing like crazy. I do not have to mess with it except changing the sponge in my Aqua-Clear once a month and top off the water level as it evaporates... Easily the best of my 3 tanks.

[@ronaldpierce8135]

I use to have a dojo fish with gold fish and they got along together

[@bartenderbobmtg9809]

That clip of the kid holding the wnep 16 mic us my local news station. Lol

[@happycamperslivehere.6101]

I have a lovely, blue, Veiltail Betta with two mystery snails. My son and I agree that the snails are really the star of the show. The betta is beautiful, but the snails bring the interest.

[@lexxwhite747]

Ok so not a 10 gallon....but I finally got my Kenyi cichlid tank up and running and stocked this week!!!!! John, the way you feel about Oscars is how I feel about Kenyi, and now I FINALLY got my 1 male and 7 females. 🎉 The store also had one lonely little female yellow lab in a tank by herself, so I brought her home too because I just couldn't leave her there alone.

[@HelpMeSpock]

What about one Red Tail Shark? A pair of Blue or Gold Rams, Kribensis or Apistograma (if u can find them)? A Small Clown Pleco, or more? 3 Skunk Loaches, but no shrimp or snails. What if u went w a more aggressive route w some Dwarf Parrot Cichlids aka Jelly Bean Cichlids?

[@bekahh.5002]

So I have a betta with a mystery snail in a ten gallon, and noticed that he would eat the antennae off of my mystery snail. After my snail died, I ended up having to put a bristle nose pleco in the 10 gallon with him because of an emergency. They had some issues with each other at first but they worked it out and they get along now.

[@VitalyGorodetsky]

Dinner.. WOW.... that means to eat more then one meal a day.. amazing.. I'm so envy you :)

[@cathyhendrix7552]

What type of guppies had the orange fins and purple bodies? You showed them from the top of the water. A top view. WOW they are stunning 😍. Look at time stamp 1:13.

[@ruebeemartinez7602]

Endlers?

[@cathyhendrix7552]

@ruebeemartinez7602 They were to big to be endlers. And they had big, flowing delta tails. Their colors were very uniform so they are a certain breed of guppies. Look at time stamp 1:13.

[@theboywiththedoublex]

Best combo is harlequin rasboras, African dwarf frogs, a honey gourami, and a nerite snail!

[@reedlarson3153]

I have neon tetras, serpae tetras, and an albino corydora in my 10 gal

[@Ozraptor4]

Clown panchax (or Lampeye killis if unavailable) + Celestial pearl danios + pygmy corydoras

[@mittenista]

A 10 gallon, according to a pestore I don't shop at anymore, is perfect for 2 goldfish and a common pleco. Just remember to "cycle for 24 hours first!"

[@niokac1784]

😂always enjoy the videos but this one had me giggling

[@chulo9477]

What's a good combo in a 55gal tank with a BETTA? Tank is 68"x13"x20" 55gal. Thinking I could add some different fish since it's bigger than a 10gal

[@fishypetkeeping]

I fully agree with this list! It gave me some ideas of what to put in one of my tanks. I don't know why, but Kuhli loaches don't really remind me of snakes; they remind me of hamsters for some reason 😂

[@user-it8bi5mo3t]

What about golden white cloud minnows and little coryadoras?

[@zachariahfox6098]

A school of cpd’s and a single betta. The color is amazing and I’ve never seen a Betta more relaxed.

[@mich421]

The important thing is that they are fast because if you have a betta you know how he behaves if he has movement near him😂

[@kekoa6]

Love this vid funniest ever ❤ aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽

[@peadrianlastname]

1 male betta, cardinals/neons, and snails/shrimp is my favorite 10 gallon combo

[@alandickenson8212]

I currently have a 10 gallon with NO life in it. It’s cycling, and will be for a long time because I just can’t decide what to put in it! It is my 14th tank…

[@MythicalIdi0t]

where can we get that awesome little dome feeder you have in the footage of the kuhli's eating please ?

[@blackfireaquatics]

So can add neon tetras with my pea puffers 20 gallon long tank

[@beingL]

I have a 45 gallon I bought on sale. It’s tall and not wide. I feel nobody ever talks about this size. I don’t know what to put in it. You all have me wanting some danios and I love Corys but I don’t know what else. I think I need a video on fish I can keep without a heater when you tend to keep your home warmer. If I can run a light and no heater I think that’ll be good.

[@nataliafranqui2529]

I haven’t had luck with cherry shrimp.

[@rjester21]

Question: what are the best places to shop online for Severum fish?? Local places don’t seem to have much, & a lot of the sites I find look sketchy & don’t have accurate or consistent information and the either don’t have any pictures, or the pictures are really bad. Who can I trust to shop for Severums? Also, everyone talks about all the variants of severum, but there must be some kind of secret knowledge, because all I can find are redspots, green, some variants of red shoulder. How do you find trustworthy info?

[@sicilianotoronto]

Boss! De plane!

[@movingpictures998]

John, are you ever going to get another arowana? You could put it in the Oscar and bichir tank

[@chrisrolka1934]

If I already have a tank set up with a good amount of guppies but 7 corydoras, would I still be able to add cherry shrimp to a 20 gallon?

[@AlexK-ew1mo]

The fact that you made a list about 10 gallon tank stockings itself is big for me. Seems like every list is mostly 5g and 20g+. 10 is the forgotten one... Now on to watching.... Because I plan to take my 10g out of storage as soon as my 2 year old stops throwing things around the house.

[@RosenfeldMendel]

Can you do this for 20 and 40 gallon tanks as well?

[@jeaniesmith8679]

[@UmarKhan-sq6zo]

Can you please make one for a 29 gallon? With maybe 3 combinations of fish(shrimp/snails)? Loved it. Whats a third fish that would look Great in a 29 with cardinals and harleyquins for example.

[@ibchrismcc]

I have a 20 long that can be applied to a 10...ember tetras, pygmy corydoras & otocinclus. The bonus is the pygmy corydoras school with the embers! Also, I'm the exact opposite of the guppy & shrimp keeping. The guppy population exploded & I can't keep a cherry alive.😢

[@smitashrivastava9703]

Maybe do it for 29 gallon tank

[@Arcturus_scale]

Would corys and danios work alright with each other? And how long does it take to cycle a 10 gallon tank.

[@andyd834]

I want to do 2 types of guppies and neocardina shrimp. Can I do that in a 10? Wanted male and female guppies so I know they'll breed.
