[@upsidediy3945]

very inspiring video. show the exotic fish species for the hobby. that puffer needs it own tank .I have pond and garage to breed. but don't because people want puppies.

[@GrubsInTheScrub]

hey cory I was wondering in my tank my ph is way too high for my fish its at like 8.2 ph and I have Columbian tetras corys clown loaches and all the fish I have need a lower ph I'm really surprised to see all the fish still doing fine tho they must be adjusting but I want to lower the ph I have a 45 gallon how much water should I take out and how much rain water should I put in to take the ph down to around 7 or 7.2 need help please

[@erinterry9519]

Hello Cory! I was wondering; I have a 10 gallon fresh water aquarium and I have a betta, a frog and a Otocinclus and soon some neon tetras. So I was wondering how many should I get? My local petsmart says get 3 and then on their website it says get 5 or more of them and I'm not sure how many I should get for a new school of fish. Thanks!

[@AquariumCoop]

+Erin Terry typically tetras like schools of 5 or more

[@perigrine]

Cory, thank you for traveling around and interviewing all of these talented and knowledgeable fishkeepers. I have seen fish that I haven't seen in the hobby or even an Aquarium and it makes me appreciate the hobby that much more.

[@ejfishes7610]

Great job Cory & Bob!! Thanks for sharing!

[@mikeysgurl2005]

Freakin awesome guys!! I love in depth tours! Its so fun hearing you two walk through because when you talk its like im there listening to real conversations! Awesomeness 💙🐟👍🏻

[@Skylrrider]

The Go Pro footage is AMAZING!!!! Love it!!!!!

[@kaehume4742]

Bosemani rainbows are some of my favorite fish, i have five in my community aquarium. they're so beautiful, active, and peaceful!

[@caroleinwv]

This just showed up in my feed. Beautiful!

[@angelldog1844]

Wow! They really are amazing!

[@kasperskyy7631]

""This is your most profitable tank"".... "This is my ONLY profitable tank" xD xD xD

[@shesellsfish]

I keep finding videos I've missed, lol. Bob looked so relaxed and content. And Cory, well as long as you stick a fish in his line of vision he's always happy, lol.

[@LRBaquatics]

Awesome guys!

[@dominicmartel2829]

Cory I think it's fair to say that you are the king of freshwater fish keeping

[@markfernandez1364]

Dominic Martel nah the KING of Diy is. nah I love cory

[@Awaken2now]

You guys are the best of the best!!!!

[@roadmaster6002]

Editing on point nice job.

[@CarolynnMc01]

I watched this again today- it popped up... It's one of my favorite videos. :)

[@AdamTillontheWeb]

Fun video, makes me want to check out some of the dwarf rainbows sometime. Very nice having the species names onscreen.

[@SteenfottAquatics]

Amazing job with the footage and editing. Turned out great.

[@jimmygimbal]

:)

[@CaptainSavageAquatics]

Sashimi Whiskey Great work on the video!

[@zepure1]

Loved the tour steen, all fish look great but that Bala Shark in the beasty rainbow tank looks malnurished

[@d.p.kfishaquariums8825]

awesome video learning different species of fish very cool

[@dwainkitchel1316]

u guys are a hoot :) sorta kinda decent so so editing too...better give that guy a raise :)

[@mingbritson]

I love all your content -- and...I have a 20-long running two of your sponge filters and get nice pearling on all my plants!

[@ericqian461]

I've noticed you've stepped up the editing the past few weeks. Love it.

[@AquariumCoop]

Hired a video editor :)

[@insanusvir]

This fish room is fantastic.

[@insanusvir]

Also great info.

[@fishnaticsc9920]

I agree with Cory. Good quality female guppies are hard to find. I would keep them and start another colony. Love your guppy tank! My favorite. I'm waiting for mine to get like yours someday

[@triple10tanks10]

Great tour

[@westonsfishtanks2470]

Your video editor is amazing!

[@SteenfottAquatics]

Yea, very happy with how this turned out.

[@ShotofJameson]

Awesome video. !!!!

[@andrewborges7768]

That Mbu is amazing!

[@josephpinkston7101]

I have a sponge filter in a 20 and my Val pearls like crazy as soon as the lights come on. so I agree with you.

[@anthonyragan2696]

That last rainbow tank (with all the... star grass?) is just gorgeous.

[@ExtraSteps]

You've stepped up the game on editing and it shows!

[@AquariumCoop]

+ExtraSteps thanks, jimmy is doing well

[@kc-noice2083]

looking good

[@shesellsfish]

How much Bob's fishroom has changed in 2 years. Waiting for him to do his updated tour. 👍💕👍

[@catfishcave379]

Drag those tanks in from the garage... or set them up in the garage! I'll refrain from making a million suggestions on what to put in those tanks. Ok, just one... - More rainbow tanks!! I so enjoy these fishroom tours - mine has been put on indefinite hold due to illness, so it lets me dream about what is in my future. Kudos to both of you!

[@jimnicoll6459]

Love a tank room tour.😀

[@baileybedard7544]

@20:30... Lake Uter, the village of Aytinjo @20:45... those are a cross between G. multisquamata and G. wanamensis... quite common. They're missing the long anal fins. Also, @24:45... Not M. parva. Those are hybrids... relatively nice hybrids, but hybrids. They're likely a cross between a trifasciata type and C. bleheri. Moving past those three items, the tanks and fish look awesome. As always, this was a great video guys. I especially liked the underwater shots!

[@tylersfishtanks1799]

beautiful fish amazing fish room

[@AquariumCoop]

Thanks for watching.

[@craigriglin]

Cory, actually A lot more CO2 can be dissolved in water than oxygen. I can’t remember the exact percentages off hand but it’s a considerable difference. That’s why there is a considerable amount of carbonic acid in our oceans. Which is a threat to our coral reefs. This is one of the byproducts of climate change. Aquariums make great models for understanding the ways of the planet. That’s why we love aquariums it gives us a chance to discover little worlds.

[@bucketheadaquatics9078]

Needs more Guppies ! LOL :)

[@westonsfishtanks2470]

The genus species name for the FX6 at 26:35 cracked me up!!

[@m72e592863]

Nice video.

[@timmyturner7751]

I love that guppy tank

[@TheFishBeast]

Nice vid! Great editing and nice underwater shot. Keep up the good work, both of you! :)

[@arnodrijfhout3858]

Hi!! I LOVE your fish and editing

[@AquariumCoop]

I hired an editor, so in theory I should be able to include more information etc in the videos.

[@arnodrijfhout3858]

😂oh ok. But tell him or her that I want their number!! No just joking😉

[@reeflivebeareraquatics8180]

There channel is Sashimi Whiskey. He is a really nice guy

[@brian7203]

Thanks for sharing. Cory the day on live stream I think someone asked about killi fish with other fish. I have kept the golden wonder with other fish. It is not the best scenario, but with the right skill set it can work. It is Aplocheilus lineatus

[@AquariumCoop]

Sure, killifish can be kept with others, most people don't do the research. Golden Wonder killifish do well typically with anything that doesn't fit in their mouth.

[@brian7203]

I was just thinking a lot of the killi fish rely on the diapause period without water. You could open a new world to your viewer with a topic like this. Maybe a series or live stream??? Thanks again.

[@georgehliston]

I got 4 dwarf neon rainbows for my 90 liters tank they are about 2cm so will I have to take them back once they grow as big as these?

[@DuzzyDobbin]

Hi there, Beautiful room beautiful fish great information. I was wondering what are the lights you have on the tank at the 9min 55sec mark and will they grow plants at all? Once again lovely fish room, far out I’m so envious we can’t get freshwater puffers here in Australia. Regards Duzzy 🇦🇺

[@ayudamarlampu7350]

Bagus akuarium dan ikannya

[@nicko8819]

My val pearls in a 55 with 4 t8 bulbs with just a sponge filter. Never got it to pearl with just 2 t8 bulbs though.

[@mariusgolgojan8530]

I think this is my 5-th time watching Big S fish room ,i have a rummy nose tetra as well ,been saved like 6 times from suicide attempts getting stuck in betwin the glass and filter ,been in all my tanks now living with my torpido barbs and rainbows ( he think s he is a torpido barb :D )

[@sr-hd3bz]

i don't see my plants produce bubble but its growing,is it not producing not much oxygen

[@esox1982]

what kind of lights are you using for your planted aquarium

[@francoisgendron8068]

Hi Cory, it will be very cool to have news about your planted thank you never change the water. How this project going....News about your undergravel filter thank too...Thanks, I love your channel and watch all your video, continue your good work. Frank from Vancouver...

[@AquariumCoop]

They are all thriving, on Instagram you can see shots of the no water change tank etc.

[@meghanchampy4172]

what is the rainbow with the longer fins, with the metallic yellow looking body from the top of the dorsal fin down

[@DannysAquariums]

Bob's room is so awesome! What's the minimum tank size for clown loaches?!

[@AquariumCoop]

That's a tough question to answer as they can grow so slowly. 55g for a few years, 75g after that, bigger after that.

[@DannysAquariums]

Aquarium Co-Op ah that sucks! I have a 45g!

[@roadkillfrog5591]

Danny's Aquariums now you have an excuse to upgrade lol

[@Topline40]

Genuine question. People say Rainbows like good flow and circulation, do you have flow? Or is it something you don't bother with? I find many different species enjoy flow. I use a Jecod cp-40 Crossflow in my 120 gallon even though its a planted tank. Beautiful Rainbows by the way and great vid.

[@EquiEsti6194]

Looking to buy a leucistic axolotl... could anyone tell me where I could get one shipped from for a good price?

[@20quid]

Will you do an updated tour?

[@cqfishbrain7437]

Could the amazing color of the rainbow fish in his big tank be due to all the tannin's from the amount of drift wood in the tank or do you think its just the quality food and lighting? It made me think of that when you were commenting on how natural the tank wasand in nature there would be alot more leaf litter and wood. Just a thought

[@johnpots4181]

I have a guppy colony of my own and I'm curious when you pull your Guppies how do you deal with all the excess? I have some polar blue parrots that occasionally eat some of the fry but I'm still overwhelmed with too many fry is there a secret here that I'm missing

[@billymorgan147]

Best all around anything in fish knowledge Cory👍👍

[@AquariumCoop]

Thank you, I try to stay well rounded :)

[@vicaroo001]

[@AquariumCoop]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm filming another fish room today. It's taken me about 2 years to finally get into this one :)

[@brfinger]

:) HA! :) Read Rainbow fish in the title and thought instantly of Bob Steenfott :)

[@husseinjan7]

How you can keep rainbows with convicts and other cichlids they’re pretty aggressive, i wonder how!!

[@jamieirwinnz]

What kind of substrate is that in the dwarf neon rainbow tank?

[@jeffb5785]

Where can I get some of those clay tubes?

[@alexking2425]

Where could I buy a mbu puffer

[@maxellis9313]

Could I keep black ghost knife fish and elephant nose fish in a 33 gallon tank if not what oddball fish could I get but I'm from Northern Ireland so nothing rare ?

[@rumcoke6210]

What is the substrate in the pleco tank?

[@pepsitekk101]

I'm newer in to the fish hobby, and wondering what filter you guys use in the tanks?, I see you use a sponge filter with air line, but do you use any other filter system?. I got a 30 gallon plated with a normal hang on back filter system, And a 10gallon that I'm breeding platys in, and only using a sponge filter, do I need to add anything else?, or is that enough with keeping up with water changes and cleaning?, Thanks!,

[@AquariumCoop]

I'd say you have enough, and water changes will do the rest. In my opinion it's what filter you enjoy cleaning that matters the most.

[@simonbuys]

I didn't know you could have an all male group of dwarf neon rainbowfish. Do you have the same agression between males as in a mixed group or is there no agression because there are no females?

[@DaniChaCha]

Hey Cory! What fish would you recommend for a 20 gallon tank with shrimp? Id like the shrimp to stay alive but id also like active possibly schooling fish. I was thinking endlers or ember tetras.

[@AquariumCoop]

Either of those would be fine candidates.

[@tamarasimpson2879]

Erin - guppies and corydoras work too :) just make sure you have a bunch of moss and plants

[@angelldog1844]

Are there any aprts that have catfish?

[@tirthahypnotiqdas]

Flexigramma Beasticarus !!! hahahaha

[@adamsazaquatics3079]

Is it possible to do this in a 75 gallon; Eco complete, large driftwood, some crypts, Anubis, jungle Val, cherry shrimp. Then have 3 angelfish, 20 neon tetras, 20 black neon tetras, then a few rams possibly and 6-8 rainbowfish. I really think this would look cool, but I'm wondering if it would all work, low light no ferds, overfeeding and tons of hiding places to ensure shrimp live, how would this work and if it wouldn't what would you change... also are the rams going to work?if so how many, THANK YOU:)

[@AquariumCoop]

Seems like it would work except for the shrimp.

[@adamsazaquatics3079]

Aquarium Co-Op ok, what bottom dweller would you recommend instead? Can I have clown loaches? If so how many, also how many rams and what food would you feed to incorporate all their diets, thank you

[@matebaunica6470]

Cannot find blue eyed cichlids (cryptoheros myrnae) anywhere. Can anyone help?

[@stephen-truthseeker]

LRBretz has some of those mascara barbs if you want to sell it to him.

[@stephen-truthseeker]

I forgot I watched this 4 years ago.

[@lauracastillo5636]

do you have a red tail boa

[@Laura-wg1yp]

How can you forget about Harry and Lloyd?! 😂😂😂

[@Dontdalla]

Hi, how do you get a female guppy so grow so big?

[@AQUAPROS]

:)

[@DankTanks]

RUMMY NOSE!!!!!!

[@tuttlebuff7035]

CORY I need some crazy help I recently bought some guppies from my local fish store and I have them in quarantine. at first they were looking ok then they started swimming weird, then started floating around, stopped eating then died. I was looking at them and I saw that they had internal parasites and I don't have any money to treat them. do you have any ideas how I can help them I have already lost 3 I don't want to lose anymore... PLS help :(

[@upsidediy3945]

petco let me return fish in a week. but the problems probablly the carbon in water filter?if you didn't soak it for a day. or maybe it's something else. like natural sun light

[@AquariumCoop]

Unfortunately fish should be dewormed.

[@ReefVenturesYT]

Do brine shrimp eggs have to be moving to hatch?

[@AquariumCoop]

They don't have to be, but generally light aeration is best.

[@frankierorrer1877]

Cory could you do a episode on the best plants for breeding live bearers, I am trying to figure out what to put in my 55 g community tank which I'm using to bread mollies, platys and maybe later guppies or endlers. Since two of my mollies gave birth but it was a newly established tank and didn't have real plants so all were eaten. I saw two or three when feeding in the morning before school one was under a rock another was eaten at the top of the tank before my eyes after school none made it after school. Do you ship guppies and do you have a website. Thank you for your time and love the vids I subscribed your channel is very informative and keep posting regularly.

[@frankierorrer1877]

Best fish Chanel there. Is on KZbin

[@AquariumCoop]

I'll try and make that video in the future. For now I recommend getting some super hard slow growers like anubias, and then trying your hand at a faster growing plant like wisteria.

[@DaniChaCha]

Another question, Sorry to bother you! Is your easy green 100% shrimp safe? Thank you in advanced!

[@AquariumCoop]

Yes, Easy green is shrimp safe

[@Supertrooper9066]

what size tank was that with the dwarf neon rainbows

[@AquariumCoop]

+Dustin Warkenthien 40 breeder

[@dangavioli1656]

Don't forget about Goldfish!!! Bob need at least one!! it will fix your duckweed problem!

[@stephen-truthseeker]

Steamboat lol 😂

[@justinviveiros7375]

What's the issue withe feeding puffers MTS?

[@AquariumCoop]

People think it cracks their teeth, which it hasn't in my experience.

[@spencerconio3497]

cory, im thinking of getting a gold bristlenose pleco, do you think theyre good fish to own

[@AquariumCoop]

Yeah, I enjoy them.

[@spencerconio3497]

Ok thanks for the reply👍🏻
