Just misspoke when I recorded the voice over 😅

[@adriancontpub]

I love how you break down each fish’s characteristics and maintenance needs. The tier list format is super engaging and informative.

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Thanks, I try to make the information easy to digest! 😊

[@benjaminsutedjo]

I love how you broke down the different fish and explained why each one is special. It really helps for someone like me who's trying to decide what fish to get for my aquarium.

[@yoimba]

my dojo loaches are my S tier. its like a dog you adopted and they're happy to be there. always up for being held:)

[@Pororo22661]

I like how you categorize it this way, it makes it easier to understand for almost everyone and also looks more interesting and convincing.😅

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

The feedback for my first tier list video was so good I had to make another 😅

[@dpowers2005]

I love nano fish in my 20long planted tank. I have green neon tetras, ember tetras and cardinal tetras (so much prettier than the regular neon tetras, in my opinion). It's so fun watching them school together, yet each variety still stand out.

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

That’s awesome 😎

[@AafuKhadka]

The best aquarium fish include Betta fish for their vibrant colors, Neon Tetras for their peaceful nature, and Guppies for their lively patterns. Angelfish add elegance, making them all popular choices for any tank.

[@Darnss123]

But these are so basic!?

[@topglobalno1]

Yeah, for starters = Guppy + Neon Tetra!

[@thanhbui8064]

Redtail Catfish should be number 1, so very easy to keep!

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

It gets massive 😅

[@TessaGrey9]

This video ranked the best aquarium fish, helping me choose the perfect species for my next tank!

[@tjo25]

Gotta call out the Cory Cat disrespect! Many varieties and colors to pick from, perfect temperament and size, won't break the bank and very active in a group. At least "A" tier.

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Comments like this are great 😊. Thank you for chiming in. They are great fish. Definitely can be A tier!

[@tjo25]

@@AquariumStoreDepot thanks for making such a fun video! I love a good tier list!

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

@@tjo25 thank you. I plan to make more. The audience seems to enjoy them 😊

[@VibeVoyager123]

I gained a lot from your insights on aquarium fish! The German Blue Rams caught my eye. They’re truly beautiful! Thank you for this helpful information!

[@MezoBear]

Honestly, this helped me break down what fish I wanted for a specific tank! Great tier video!

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Thank you 😊. Glad it helped

[@yopiewp]

Awesome list! Bettas have always been my go-to fish-so easy to care for and they really add a pop of color to any tank. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Thank you 😊. I love Bettas. I always try to put them in any community tank if I can manage it. The fact that’s it’s usually warm here tends to help me since it’s harder for me to do a room temperature tank - though the algae issues can be 😆

[@Staggo_L]

Exceptional list. I love your vids. Hey, maybe, sometime, do one on Betta hendra. Few people may know of them (they’re an endangered species, but are being ethically bred now). Yet, they’re going to become the next big “thing”.

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

I can definitely do a video on them. I shy’ed away from the subject in the past because they were import only. I’ll need to look into the breeding side of things.

[@BishalShah3369]

This was just the video I was looking for it got so many information and advices. Thanks for posting this video

[@siberianhusky8005]

These species are perfect for many fishkeepers to add in their aquarium. German Blue Rams is the best one. The unique pattern and beautiful bright blue color on its body makes it a good option to own! Thank you so much for doing this video.

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

They look great just hard to keep for most 😅

[@garg4531]

I remember the first time I saw a "beginner fish" tier list, it really inspired me to try my own hand at something like that (an ongoing project for several years as I keep revamping it 😅) Can't wait to check out how yours looks!

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Oh it’s on the list 😊. Honestly it’s best to just get it done and watch the comments fly 😆

[@tsonlinestore4023]

Thanks for this awesome ranking of the best aquarium fish! Your insights and recommendations are super helpful for anyone looking to build a beautiful and thriving tank. The variety you showcased is great for all experience levels. Keep up the fantastic content!

[@MrMattemannen76]

Corydoras, amano shrimp and kuhli loaches are S-tier :)

[@AmericaLussa]

Amazing video, thanks a lot for teaching us this incredible things

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

I'm happy you learned something new 😁

[@pokejuice1495]

Fun video. I have guppies, angels and pictus catfish together and they all get along well. Bristlenose can be great for any tank above 10 gal as they only get about 6in. Common plecos are the ones that get huge.

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Awesome to hear. I love making the tierlist videos - so much different than what I see on the FishTube. I plan to make a lot more of them in the future

[@loveisthe23]

Best is debatable and there are so many fishes to choose from but still cool video

Wow very nice and beautiful fish and its aquarium is also very nice

[@Mynewstartups]

Woah Unbelievable this video is Really educational I loved it

[@fernedowns6652]

In my opinion the best fish are neon and cardinal tetras for their color betta fish for their personality and angelfish for their beauty and their elegance although they can be aggressive

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Oooof 😅. I got my roast on with this video

[@baldeagleshirt]

Man this is so helpful!

[@lewishopkins5779]

Corydoras need to be a or s tier. Gold lasers and sterbais can easily be the star of any aquarium with their looks

[@suriV05]

What about normal goldfish or even ropefish

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Normal goldfish like comets etc would still be lower tier because they get big. They do pretty well in ponds if you don’t want koi

[@suriV05]

@AquariumStoreDepot omg I love. Koi. Im a beginner with this stuff and can't do it for a year or so but I would love to have beautiful koi and a lot of the fish you featured in this vid

[@reijoshualadjahasan]

I agree. MAKE CONGO TETRAS THE FASHION ICON OF THE FISH WORLD LIKE BRUH THEY ARE THE PRETTIEST FISH I HAVE EVER SEEN. They look so simple yet not simple like minimalist but over the top like hoooow

[@aizahpacalna9286]

Top 3 of my most favourite fish!?!: 1.Betta fish! Why?:they look like flowers and they only need 5-10 gallon, 2.Loaches fish. Why?:I love fish that help cleans the fish tank and when I see them like cleaning their so cute plus I love their colors!!! 3.Oscar fish? Why?:I love Oscar for their size and color specially the color black and yellow ones.

Hello sir one of my favorite hobby in future is to breed marine fishes in aquarium. How to breed can you make a good video or present it. I like your video very much. I like to get a lot of information about new fish farming.

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

It’s a good video idea. Not sure how many will watch it though. My SW videos don’t do that well. Which is funny because I know more about SW than FW 😅

if u know about pond fish, can u do a tier list for them

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

I have kept ponds before. I will add this to my list. There won’t be many but I can definetly do that 😊

[@rouleslite5312]

No but rummy nose tetras can get fungus easily. It's the thing that even the fish breeders can't even control. The sad thing? They're somekind of having allergy to the malachite fish treatment.

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Thanks for sharing. That’s unfortunate to hear. I’ve had nothing but good experiences with them. Sucks to hear they are allergic to a medication too 😢

Every gourami I have is mostly peaceful and but some days I see them nipping at other gouramis

[@suriV05]

16:57 hah!

[@drkcyd1]

I would not have included appearance as a criteria for this. I would think a beginner would see a discus fish at the "B" ranking and think they could handle a "B" rated fish. The discus might be one of the most difficult, yet commercially available, aquarium fish to keep. They should be ranked lowest on a tier list of "BEST" aquarium fish to keep for so many reasons. In fact, every discuss owner will tell you that you have to WANT to KEEP a discus fish not just OWN discus fish.

[@drkcyd1]

Kind of like how everyone wants a horse until it's time to shovel horse poop.

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

A tier in looks - D tier when it comes to needs. F tier for most breeds.

[@miguelgallo9020]

I have 8 black tetras that have lived like 4 years already 💀

[@zbpossible]

My beta lives with mystery snails

[@rogerhuggettjr.7675]

I'm surprised you think cardinals are better than neons. I like cardinals better, but I can't keep them alive while having little problem with neons. When I talked to my fish store owner about this he said that cardinals and rummy nosed tetras are the fish that seem to have the hardest time adjusting to new tanks.

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

It’s because neons tend to get neon tetra disease. I never had issues with rummies and think they are amazing fish. I don’t buy stock from local fish stores anymore since I have Rob at Flip Aquatics who sends me QT’ed fish which has taken away a lot of the stress of new additions. I do the same with saltwater from TSM or Divers Den. People don’t like me for getting fish online, but I generally don’t have good experience getting fish from the LFS outside of the time when I lived near fish row in LA.

[@chia_pet7121]

Where do you get the little betta crowns?

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

😂. That would be tough to make them for them. I think it would trigger a lot of folks to make an accessory like that 😅

[@tomongvue6934]

How do u feel about bolivian rams?

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Way better choice than a German blue. I could have made this video an hour lol g but than the tierlist looks overwhelming. I would say they are a C tier. They are still more delicate and have good looks. Better choice than a German Blue. Could make an argument for B tier for someone who has experience. Great community fish if placed in a larger tank.

Shrimp are not fish, and corydora is a pretty large category just to have "cory catfish"... Other wise, bad opinion piece. Don't agree.

That’s fine you are entitled to your opinion. Corydoras are a whole video themselves. Shrimp I would agree could be left off as they are often considered accessories to a tank except for smaller shrimp tanks.
