Would you do a top ten beginner coldwater fish? Hopefully schooling as well Fish keeping is so therapeutic during this pandemic

Aqua Huna is fantastic! I found them accidently through ebay, and then your website. I have ordered from them a few times, and their customer service is excellent. The only downside I ever had was a delay in shipping due to COVID-19, but that is totally understandable. The hillstream loaches I ordered from them began breeding within the first month.

I have found that your fry food in the bottle is perfect for mid-water schooling fish. When they come in from the wholesaler at our store I can usually get them eating right away. Some of it stays floating on the top for the fish that eat there, and some of it slowly sinks as the mid-water fish dart back and forth gobbling it up.

I have pygmy cories, chili rasboras, CPDs, kubotai rasboras, and clown killis in the same tank!

I put a good sized pinch in there and they all go nuts! Everyone eats and is happy. I also throw some repashy in for my cories and shrimp.

[@donovanwisdom310]

So yeah, my CPDs eat from the top instead of mid water🙂🙂

[@colmwhateveryoulike3240]

I'd be interested in specifically coldwater nano fish. I have an 8 gallon tank on my windowsill indoors. I've put water and plants from canals and ponds in my vicinity into it. It's fascinating how much life is in there - snails, gammarus, copepods, daphnia, even bavkswimmers and caddisfly larvae. It also has various worms including planarians. It has no filter or heater but does have duckweed, pondweed, and several broadleaved riparian plants and grasses that have built up on a mound in the corner of soil and wood and dead plant material. It all looks great and has cleared up but I'm interested in perhaps introducing some coldwater nano fish and shrimp in a few more months when it's more established. Besides adding water I want it to look after itself. I did this before with a smaller and much less diverse set up that hosted minnows for 4 years without feeding. I feel like that was a bit cruel however, so I'd rather not add fish if they won't be happy.

Celestial pearl danio are sooo shy...omg. I had them for a year and I even had a succes with breeding them although it took some effort cause they eat their babies as soon as they notice them so you have to take out the parents to let the babies grow. Also believe it or not but they are mental. I've added a dozen shrimp to a tank with them and they killed them all through the night. And once again...really shy. So shy that I had to throw in food and get away from the aquarium so they could come out and it. I had a real love/hate relationship with them. Basically all u said is true regarding the food. They loved frozen cyclops and all the small frozen foods.

You should add that green neon rasboras dont do well in transit for online orders. I have a 55 gallon "nano" tank with groups of all of my favorite nano fish. Love this tank. Its my favorite. Also the hillstream loaches can be a little (or a lot) territorial. I bought a group and all but one died and the one just dive bombs the other fish when they get near the right lower side of the 37 gallon tank theyre in lol. It cant hurt the other fish and its cute to watch but surprisingly territorial in my tank.

[@timpekarek9159]

I have seen the Kuhli loach quite often locally ( St. Louis) and the Green Neon and Ember Tetra occasionally. I have never seen any of the other fish mentioned. I think a lot of aquarium fish never make it much past the cities where they are imported, rarely to midwest.

[@blackosprey2219]

Just from my personal experience with CPD's- they are actually really easy to breed for an egg-layer, even on accident. I actually got a small batch of babies without doing anything to promote spawning or their survival after hatching. I also hesitate to recommend them to anyone, because they seem strangely prone to disease that resists most common antibacterial and antifungal treatments.

I love my Galaxy Rasboras! Mine eat frozen baby brine shrimp but they also eat off the bottom when I feed API Bottom Feeders and Fluval Bug Bites Bottom Dwellers. They share the tank with blue shrimp, Pygmy Corys and Clown Killifish. I would add to your video that clown killis are pretty fragile and hard to feed because they really want live food. I'm still waiting for my LFS to get Chili Rasboras back in stock for my other nano tank!

Just sharing my personal experience as I know there are always hit or misses with different people, fish, environments, etc…. My celestial pearl danios eat at surface and mid surface. They also will school with my chili raspboras. My hillstream loach chases them around. I love them though. They’re my favorite fish to look at, and it’s fun trying to get the chance to really look at them because they’re quick and fidgety and hard to focus on for the short period of time they’re still.

New to the hobby and already loving it love your channel it’s teaching me so much, but quick question what is that food that looks like it’s just stuck on the side of the tank in a circle

[@jokervienna6433]

Some really good fish recommendations here. I have done a lot of this stuff and was a half professional breeder for a while. I would avoid the loach though, not because they are bad aquarium fish, but they get a little big for a small tank. Also the hill stream loach is not a good choice for a small aquarium, they are likely hard to feed and keep happy. Otocinclus is a better choice and might be one of the best algae eaters out there. Do not forget to feed them though, they will quickly finish off any algae or "slime" in a tank. For having some fun and perhaps get some kiddos, get a good mix - the Danio mentioned above is a great combination with Pseudoepiplatys. They occupy different spaces in the aquarium (but if you want to keep both, you might opt for a slightly bigger tank). The danios lay about 15-20 eggs and the killies about the same. The fry is extremely small from both of these species, so put some extra infusoria in there once in a while. For feeding, I really like you are talking about live food. The better one feeds the fish, the better they will do. If they can feed as they do in nature, there you have it. You will have happy fish, you will have fry and you will have very fun!

[@maryellenburns5249]

[@sshep86]

Makes sense for small fry but unnecessary for most small fish. Unless you are feeding a school of hundreds and can't be bothered using your fingers. Flake is easy enough to grind up with your fingers and the larger pieces the fish will naturally latch onto and tear anyway, just like they would in nature with larger food particles. I don't even struggle grinding up some of my 'far' more expensive flake with my fingers, I use for breeding which is a lot damper due to oils. Takes a bit more rubbing, but it breaks up small enough for. I have however used an electric grinder a few times to break down pellets, but this was when I was experimenting with foods and making my own concoctions. Do you have thousands of fish and want to spare your fingers. ;)

Love dumbo eared panda guppies, this is one super little lovely to look at fish.
