[@jimmygimbal]

Damn that change in style tho. I think you found something here.

[@anthonyragan2696]

Love the "Smooth Jazz Bob" voice. And good choice of tetras.

[@PlatinumPlopper]

Start off my Sunday with some therapy from Bob.

[@GirlTalksFish]

Beautiful fish! For your next top 5 video, I'd love to hear why you personally like each one (especially since you've kept so many more fish than I have). :)

[@catfishcave379]

Was this Bob Steenfott or Bob Ross? Very relaxing to watch... a good match for a top five on tetras.

[@saurabhnayak1036]

Loved the way the video was presented

[@SteenfottAquatics]

Glad you enjoyed it =)

[@karenwolfsen]

I really liked the style of this video 😊 Thanks for highlighting these tetras. Love the info.

[@josemontalvo4532]

Excellent video! Tetras are my favorite fish to keep, so you know I’ll like your video. Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed watching!

[@joanvirgil6299]

Wow loving this video! The black background is outstanding along with your narration.

[@twunderaquatics1770]

White finned rosy tetras and embers. These have become my favorites. Great video. Nice top five too.

[@Alex-uu1le]

Nice change of content, nice to see, good video bob

[@RyoWatanabee]

Awesome top 5 list Bob! I love cardinal tetras and tucano tetras!

[@SteenfottAquatics]

I would love to own tucanos someday, but they are so expensive here.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Steenfott Aquatics yeah, tucanos are my favorites that I’ve never kept before.

[@kellyngrey4950]

I loved your narrative voice in this video! Very calm, peaceful, and relaxing.

[@darlenestogsdill259]

Really appreciate your thorough review and giving specs on screen!!! Good job!

[@GrowingInterest]

One of the better top 5's I have seen so far on KZbin 👍 I like this style of videos a lot :)

[@SteenfottAquatics]

Thanks, means a lot :)

[@shesellsfish]

Oh my...that was so soothing and relaxing. I'm liking this.💕

[@audreyflores9089]

This is one of the most relaxing videos I've seen in awhile! Awesome job!!!

[@Shelzbells]

This was a very nice video...I liked it..my gosh your voice was so professional and soothing, sounded like you could narrate a fish documentary or something LOL

[@scottishaquatics7392]

Wow bob, that was a very different type of video, BUT that was amazing! Very good video, love the style, love the info, all of it was awesome

[@SteenfottAquatics]

Thanks, was fun doing something different.

[@Lumpydog]

Top five tetras is a tough one to figure out. Your list is plenty good for me. Love the video style, more please. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@mikejurnak4253]

I love the voice over ✌️

[@landgiraffe7002]

Nice Bob! So relaxing I felt like I was at the spa...

[@dawnmcfarland7011]

Omg this is the most amazing, beautiful and relaxing fish profile video I've ever seen!!! Instant sub!!!

[@SteenfottAquatics]

Thanks for the sub!

[@roughivyrose9020]

Really enjoyed this video keep it up.

[@AnthonysFishyFriends]

Good choices Bob. They look great.

[@AVPAquariums]

Wow. This was a stunning video! And that narration was Nat Geo quality for sure!👍

[@elizabethpolyak4522]

Beautiful video...your voice is very hypnotic.

[@bk2pla]

We’re gonna put a happy little Tetra right over here, it’s our tank world and we can put whatever we want here! 🙃 Love me some Pristella tetras and Green Neon tetras are beautiful!

[@rachelh1452]

Love this type of video! Peaceful to watch, very informative. My personal faves are the rummy nose, purple emperor tetra (is that the same as the blue?), cardinals, and. bleeding hearts. I’d love more vids like this. Great job!

[@cinner111]

Nice job I love Congo Tetras!

[@pek4146]

This is great I have will have stocking ideas for my tank

[@Dovietail]

I love your "peaceful meditations" voice. ;-) Lovely collection of tetras. I would include wild-caught gold tetras. Their metallic sheen is so unique. Also, I have a soft spot in my heart for bleeding heart tetras. They have fallen out of fashion, but they school so nicely and have such a nice shape. A big group of those in a big tank is just breathtaking.

[@SteenfottAquatics]

I do love my school of bleeding hearts

[@VernanJagunap]

the narration is very like that of a beauty contest.

[@medwardbell]

Thank you! Been trying to decide what kind of tetras to get for my new tank

[@kirstenrector4748]

Very nice video!

[@DancingHorseFarm1]

Lovely video, thank you! My top four are rummy nose, silver tip, ember, and lemon. I hadn't heard of the green fire, they look cool!

[@SteenfottAquatics]

Embers and lemons are great too, so many cool species.

[@markskofield1873]

What a change into a smooth calming "voice over" voice. Interesting.... very interesting

[@mjh00124o]

Getting that asmr style lol I miss my blue tetras I had a nice school of 20 till equipment failure I will get there again

[@chriswyf2011]

Great video!

[@SteenfottAquatics]

Thanks

[@Brantov]

Interesting information. Very nice.

[@Laura-wg1yp]

Beutifully edited Bob ace video!

[@daveyant3812]

Good choices!

[@RipVanWinkle_Nature_Discovery]

Great Vid

[@barebottomaquariums1419]

So professional.

[@scapesessions9069]

So many amazing tetras out there, these are some great choices for your top 5. I live in China and haven't ever seen the Green fire tetras in the markets here but those are amazing and I might have to special order some.

[@SteenfottAquatics]

I've kept them for a few years now, they are great.

[@briant.4618]

Found some penguin tetras this weekend. Wish they had 10, just glad they had 6. Love they way the look in my tank.

[@matthewzito6130]

Right now I have Black Skirts, Black Neons, Glowlights, Neons and Beacon Tetras (AKA Head-and-Tail Light Tetras). I'd like to eventually try Bloodfins, X-rays and maybe Red-eyes.

[@SteenfottAquatics]

Thats a nice list, good picks

[@reptisect6800]

Great editing

[@SteenfottAquatics]

Thank you :)

[@naegwut]

Your narration voice is soothing.

[@maxs2521]

Good stuff, i love my cardinals.

[@mondraymondo]

Can you do more videos with relaxing feel like this please? Love itt

[@brettd927]

"So from our family to yours, keep your pants dry, your dreams wet, and remember, hugs not drugs." Your Bob Ross imitation is second only to Deadpool's. Thanks for the video.

[@SteenfottAquatics]

im definitely saying that next time

[@karltonepps834]

Buenos Aires are one of my favorites. Tetras are a my favorite

[@brettd927]

Did you change your last name to Ross? Lol. Great video.

[@kellysuzanne976]

Costae tetras are really nice fish .

[@wortwortwort5723]

A top 5 😊👍

[@cosmoplakat9549]

My favorite is the ember tetra. However I did buy 6 black neons last week (gorgeous fish), along with 3 more embers (all they had), and all the neons died in quarantine last night while all 3 embers are so far ok. Did lg wc and keeping an eye out - tg for quarantine tanks! Assuming neons came in diseased as water parameters were good. I'm bummed but will try again once the embers are done with quarantine, which is now extended for another couple weeks. ☹️

[@souIsynapse]

How do you get such amazing popping contrast in this video? Looks amazing!!

[@VStag]

Awesome Video Thanks for Sharing FishFam NJAE19

[@Micegift]

A very calming video. I’ve had a very stressful day so that has helped immensely. 🙂 I do have a quick question, I inherited a single Silver Tip Tetra that’s about 18 months old. I’m not sure if it is male or female but it is very placid & currently lives with 3 Mickie Mouse platties and a Bristle Nosed Plecco. I’m about to upgrade them from a 6.5g to a 20g tank. Would it be safe to put Betta in with it? The tank will be heavily planted and obviously, I am happy to buy a few more Silver Tips.

[@XZumex]

I could not make an top 5 tetra list there are just too many amazing tetra out there.

[@SteenfottAquatics]

I'm sure if I make this video again in a year, the list will be different lol

[@pjp9383]

@@SteenfottAquatics 🙏 I would love to see your current picks! The only tetra I've kept to date are ember tetras, but have been more interested in them lately, as I've gotten some larger tanks.

[@OttawaOldFart]

The green ones for sure in a big tank, like 40 of them.

[@howlinhauler]

20g- emerald eye rasboras 40g- orange lemon 75g- rainbow emperor 125g- diamond Rummy nose in everything ; )

[@DallasARCH79]

Green fire Tetra is my favorite Tetra!

[@mexchime6468]

I like both tetras and barbs

[@TomSGao]

What are the first two you showed in the pictures?

[@aqualifeaquariums8106]

thumbnail/10 AHAHAH ~~~ hopefully I can make my vids like yours!

[@bubskrz7647]

Can put all different tetras together? Ex. 6-8 of these red neon, cardinal, green neon, black neon, blue emperor, black emperor, rummy nose, ember, kitty tetra, lemon tetra, pristella, buenos aires, congo, silver tip, penguin green fire, white cloud minnows, zebra danios and koi angel fish (4)

[@varanidguy]

I'm a sucker for rummy nose tetras because their schooling behavior is really impressive and when they're happy and water is clean, their faces can become a crimson red. However I've been really itching to get a school of emperor tetras.

[@SteenfottAquatics]

My emporers are the most enjoyable schooling species i have ever owned.

[@varanidguy]

@@SteenfottAquatics wow really! Damn, you just made that itch even stronger lol. You enjoyed them better than rummy nose?

[@rajacichlid251]

Aphyocharax rathbuni is my favorite tetra 😍😍😍

[@flaviodesignaquariums1690]

Red eye .black neon, black skirt, Romney nose, & scarlet tetras.

[@feliciaheater5548]

Thoughts on silver tips with shrimp? I have a huge shrimp colony that lives with dwarf loaches and has previously lived with neon tetras and pea puffers without much issue. I’m sure some babies get picked off but not enough to really notice. Same with the silver tips? Or since they’re nippier might they be more troublesome? Love the look of them so much and thinking about adding 20 in my 40b setup.

[@SteenfottAquatics]

Silvertips should be fine. Like you said, some shrimplets will get picked off but generally should be ok.

[@five2112]

Do you think Rummy Nose would pair well with Silver Tipped?

[@_KSM__FPV]

What's the blue one shown at 0.22 ?

[@big54bob]

I just have Buenos Aires Tetras as dithers for my Blood Parrots and Severum

[@mike2zach]

1. Congo 2 Black Neon 3. Silver tip 4. Rummy Nose 5. lemon / Buenos Àires

[@tugaybayram5392]

Hi , thanks for your videos. They have been a great help to me . I have 1 quaestion that I could not get answer . I have 55 gallon planted tank . Can I mix 5 different types of peaceful tetra in my tank ? I will buy at least 6 fish from each type.

[@noaholsen6476]

Yes

[@CypressPhotoStudio]

👍🏻👍🏻😄

[@bhopipun4353]

I catched some tetras from river . It looks like penguin tetra but 3-4 black strips on it what is its name ???

[@MobbGuppy]

Gold Tetras

[@VyvienneEaux]

I've seen silver-tip tetras the size of a large Congo tetra at my LFS. It's the main reason I haven't bought any-- I don't want them to get that big!

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

I would verify the Identity of those "Silvertip Tetras". I have never seen a true Silvertip grow to 1/3 the size of a Congo.

[@whshoemaker]

What's the tetra pictured at 00:20 - 00:24?

[@delirisnmartinezgonzalez6661]

For me correct, The Emperor Tetra.

[@meatman2286]

I figured out why you're quitting your job... Animal planet hired you for voice overs! I kid. I kid. This was pretty dope actually! Are you sure it's not Bob Ross?

[@SteenfottAquatics]

lol

[@nimaarezoomandi5325]

Which one is always schooling?

[@ab8057]

Neon all day

[@vb2377]

Did Bob get hacked?

[@NIGEL-MORGZZ1100]

BRUH THEY SOLD ME SOME CRAZY RED HYBRID FISH I CANT FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS

[@lithabelle8001]

Who abducted my fun loving Bob Steenfott and replaced him with this ASMR Robot?

[@SteenfottAquatics]

I still love having fun 😁

[@lithabelle8001]

Just being silly. :)

[@slowerlowerfishing]

and 2nd lol

[@DanDannyDanielleBob]

My favorite tetra is.... Rasboras Espei...schools better than rummynose. Better color and less nippy than most tetras. What now Bob?

[@SteenfottAquatics]

still waiting on your tetra pick lol

[@DanDannyDanielleBob]

@@SteenfottAquatics tetra is just a frame of mind bruh. Rasboras espei does it better

[@richardwaldhouse8067]

Most fish that don't get bigger than 7 inches and are not too hard to work with.

[@sariihover4798]

it is not underrated if it is nippy

[@luvmywetpets]

great vid i subscribed my favorite tetra serapae, cardinal, green fire and lemon tetras. check out myy tank.

[@martinjavinez9389]

Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion, man.

[@slowerlowerfishing]

[@agenttom960]

I hate artificial color in fish
