One of my tanks had a dragonfly nymph, I think it ate pest snails since all my fishes were okay. I didn’t even realise it was there until it crawled out one day, turned into a dragonfly and flew off :>

Wow, like some tiny aquatic alien, invading your aquarium and living among the fish just to one day grow into a bigger flying alien and asent to the world outside. ... Sorry, I write fantasy and sci-fi xD But honestly, if you find a dragonfly nymph in your tank, please don't kill it. Put it outside into a pond or river. Dragonflies eat lots of flying pest insects and even mosquitos.

[@stacyk4879]

I honestly love dragonfly and damselfly nymphs and would 100% let them chill in my tank although ive never had the pleasure. They are so cool and once they are adults they eat mosquitos!!

Fun story: My parents had a huge fishtank many years ago and the fish had slowly died out and was empty. My dad drained the tank and put the tank with its pebble sand floor (that had a bit of water still slushing about in it) in the basement and then we left 6 weeks going on vacation. We came back and I went down into the basement to fetch something and I passed the tank with the few centimeters of water at the bottom and .. SOMETHING WAS MOVING IN IT!! Turned out that the swordtails had dropped babies before they died out but the babies had been too tiny for my parents to spot when they emptied the tank however, the babies had survived... In the dark, in the cold basement.. without any sort of care. My parents then started up the tank once more and that number of swordtails grew for a good number of years afterwards but then on display :)

I was sold Black Skirt Tetra's to me by my local fish store telling me they'll thrive in groups in my 10 GALLON tank.....so I bought like 12-14 of them.

I’m awful at keeping houseplants alive. My house has very few windows and little natural light, so houseplants struggle in here. Doesn’t help that my cat loves to eat and destroy anything remotely green. But if I could keep houseplants alive, my favorite is fittonia. Such a pretty plant and the one I had always told me when it needed water by drooping it’s leaves and dulling it’s color. Five minutes after I watered it, it’d be bright and perky and happy again. I swear you could watch it brighten up. So fun.

[@marjorielabrioche1440]

Try ivy and spider plants. They don't need a lot of light, can support extreme conditions and can be placed in high places or in suspension to avoid the cat thing

[@Annie_Annie__]

I have some pothos, it seems to be the only thing I can keep alive. Mostly because the cat learned that if he eats it, it makes him vomit. Can’t do spider plants. For some reason those are like crack to that damn cat. He’s very much a climber, the type of cat that happily spends the day on top of bookcases or almost does himself in trying to sit on top of doors. Believe me when I say that no matter where I put a spider plant, he finds it, devours it, and destroys it. I read that spider plants might have a mild hallucinogenic effect on cats and I believe it. He’d much rather have a spider plant than a whole garden of catnip.

And super easy to multiply. My mom and I got one African violet at different times (though when I got him it did not have any flowers and I only got it cause I liked the texture of the leaves) and unfortunately both purples. Ones a lighter purple so when we propagate them on masse we guess which one would be which purple lol! Our home has a bit too many African violets 🙃

Chris the plant at 12:10 is a silver satin pothos (not really a pothos at all) aka Scindapsus pictus. Very cute little plant. :) I think my favorite houseplant atm is my string of bananas because it's looking so long and full and loving the spring.

My favorite house plant is my Trans Plant. It's a polkadot plant with pink, white and red plants. Painted the pot with the trans flag for pun purposes. I really love how polkadot plants are very dramatic when thirsty. As long as the leaves aren't crispy, they will pretty much bounce back within an hour of getting water. (A lot of people think that it's dying or dead and not salvageable, when it's only thirsty and overly dramatic.)

[@Four-of-Six]

@ 9:41 mins. I fed my Betta large blood worms. The Betta was sick didn't eat the bloodworms so a couple of days later found some large mosquitos om my curtains and some floating on top of the water in the tank.... It was winter so those did not come from outside.....

[@Toadtoadtoadtoadtoad]

My bathroom is a jungle. Two out of my five tanks are in there and my entire wrought iron shelf I squeezed in there is full of house plants. Once you have figured out how much nutrients are in the dirty tank water, you want to water the plants with it. No waste! But then you get another tank, so naturally you need more plants to water with it. It's a viscous cycl-, I mean it's a great system. Also I'm on the Monstera deliciosa train. Varigated pothos is an easy second.

I noticed what I thought was aggression between the new diamond tetras and the white skirts which were about 3 years old. I filmed it & did some research & discovered it was mating behavior.

Pothos for in and out of the aquarium! I just love vine plants... and I suck at growing any plants that don't grow in an aquarium. Pothos seems to be my friend!

[@ThomasisaNerd]

The problem I had was part of the pothos root died in my tank, spiking ammonia and killing my poor guppies

[@assassinrhi]

@@ThomasisaNerd that's terrible! I'm sorry that happened!

You have a leg up being a fish keeper going into the houseplant hobby. There are many plants you can grow in water. I grow my melanochysum in water. Add and air stone and some shrimp/snails, some ferts, and now you have a plant you don't have to remember to water!

[@Chiswum]

This was helpful lol, I plan on stocking two 10 gallons with *Ember* Tetras and 6 male guppies!

[@soulEATERofcookies]

My favourite houseplant is a Philodendron silver sword! It’s blue-green and the leaves change shape as the plant matures. I love ZZ plants too! You might also like the ZZ zenzi and raven varieties 💚

[@eh.440]

Favourite plant is definitely the ZZ plant. They look beautiful and strange and can actually do ok in low light and low water conditions but if you treat it and give it lots of light and fertiliser they'll shoot out gorgeous lime green new shoots every so often

I really like my houseplants with a lot of fluffy foliage, so I love my poinsettias (I have a salmon pink one and a red/white variegated one). Also my Pachira aquatica/Money Tree is so big and fluffy and makes me happy. I also have some orchids, and monsteras, and a BoP, and a whole bunch of other plants I use to try to fill the void in my life.

I dont get enough light for houseplants after i moved. They all died...My first was the jade plant. They look good when they get bigger.

[@musician200X]

After I moved I couldnt keep anything alive on my back patio. I found though that my front door has perfect light. I hate when you move and it throws all your plants off!

[@naturesfinest2408]

@@musician200X i live in an apartment with only north facing windows. It sets a mellow mood throughout the day but the plants hate it. I have one west facing windows that gets blocked by trees. What plants do you have

[@shannoncaeley]

My favorite house plant is my heart leaf philodendron named Angela which trails so far and I wish I could show everyone because she is so luscious and gorgeous. Sorry to my other twenty house plants but she is my favorite.

I used to have a 10 gallon tank that was originally stocked with: 2 dragonfly nymphs 5 damselfly nymphs 2 snails (idk what type, everything was from my local river) 20+ shrimp The dragonflies ate everything then the bigger one ate the other

1:26 when I was like, 8-9 my parents bought me glofish. And I just turned 11. I can confirm glofish, just because they have “tetra” in the name doesn’t mean they won’t get decently huge.

Coming from a brit I can say that even i was shocked at the accuracy of your Gordan Ramsay impression 😂 love the vids man

i also have recurring dreams where i find a forgotten aquarium of my own except they are actually nightmares

12.10 its asatin pothos. Great easy plant, you know when it needs watering because its dramatic afand the leaves will curl up

[@thusjanthanmanoharan3740]

I had 15 blackskirt tetras in a 70 gallon tank. I must say they were one of the most thankful fish I ever had. They lived for 8 years. They died by nen accident when I wasn’t home. And Chris you are right, they need bigger tanks even if they are peaceful and like to hide, they also loves to swim a lot. And the adult one get big for a tetra . The female be like 6-7 cm the male stays a bit smaller.they are a great match for any communitytank.
