Top 10 Nano Fish for Freshwater Aquariums

[@Aquarium_Fantasy-HF]

Alot of good choices but my favorites are the rainbow shiners and the pea puffers just look so cute 😊

[@f3rapala]

My favorite is the pygmy corydoras but this is a great list

[@boebender]

Not “Scooby Doo scared”😂😂 poor lil dwarf emerald rasboras 😂😂😂. Great video!! I love it when I learn something new. Will definitely check out those panda garra for their algae eating abilities. Thanks!

[@Sfbaytech]

Great recommendations! Yes these all rock.

[@lindahomerealtor5461]

Thanks for this! Would be interesting to hear what your selection criteria was (in my book, adult size of 2.5"-3" is a bit generous for nano). What about Sparking gourami, Bumblebee goby, Pygmy Cory, various pencil fish (or if going up to 2.5", threadfin rainbow fish)?

[@midnull6009]

I've never heard of green kobutai till now!

[@OrionOsiris777]

Your tanks are pristine 🔥

[@wmw6485]

good idea to recommend your most favorite nano fish BUT: in the footage all fish have nearly the same pale color; due to the fact that they are juvenile. To imagine how beautiful CPD, Kubotai,... really are you better have chosen footage with adult fish.

[@raptormaster1298]

Also stress from being moved around during shipping and quarantine and whatnot makes them lose color. Put them in a good planted tank and they will color up quickly

[@lester2665]

Pea Puffer will obliterate ALL snails, it's their favorite food.

[@copycat769]

Going back to fresh water after 10 years of growing corals I wanna try a microfauna dominant planted tank, so fun to watch

[@kerrypitt9789]

Hi Rob! I resubscribed after a long absence due to old age. Taylor reminded me about you so I found you. Sadly I live in Canada so too hard to buy from you. I can learn from you though!

[@Tara-vs7vs]

Are neons good with shrimp? I had shrimp with serpae tetras and they all got eaten.

[@panfriedbeets]

great video! how many chili rasboras would you recommend for a 10 gallon tank with only amano shrimp in it?

[@jk-er2zt]

yes

[@agnediciuniene9861]

In my experience hungry adult Amano shrimp sometimes hunt sleeping nano fish

[@bradyhill2136]

I’ve had CPDs for years. I just setup a new tank with cardinal tetras and and I’m missing them lol. Might have to setup another tank.

[@garethpearson7155]

Maybe a video showing them with their proper colours would have been more beneficial, but the information given was good.

[@jenbunker6511]

Talking about how awesome the colours are on these almost all of them are dull and gray lol

[@dustinwilcox6821]

I’ve kept shrimp w Pearl gouramis w no problem. They stayed populated

[@josephmiller8171]

What? Poecilia reticulata did not make the list? I'm shocked!

[@adelinawarriner6259]

recommendations for community tank with 8.2-8.6 ph (well water) moderate hardness.

[@idealchanful]

I am fan of the green kubotay, but they like acidic water

[@cattaraugustonawanda4426]

No Endlers?

[@MARKluvsAZcards]

Do you still have the 480gallon aquarium?

[@LupDiesel]

We still have it! Nothing in it right now, but it's on the agenda!

[@DashDrones]

Kubotais are the worst, they torment every other fish in the tank and not shrimp safe. Avoid pairing with Emerald dwarfs and pygmy corys especially. Constantly attacking/upsetting the danios and corys..

[@AlexMilenk]

Any nano fish list without pygmy corydoras is invalid. 😁

[@soaplag]

Colorblind peeps unite!

[@darkkinghafiz3841]

Guppy is not a nano fish??

[@traveler263]

you're biased towards "dead" colors. not sure if english translation is proper. but you like non bright colors, thus the video is probably biased towards fish with less bright colouring. good info though but you're probably missing a few good ones if they are coloured too bright and too happy

[@LupDiesel]

A lot of these were based off the sales we receive through our website and what some of our top sellers are - however, Rob IS color blind and that could potentially affect his personal preference!

[@H2OBetta]

we have wholesale wild betta fish, i am from vietnam

[@benhopwood5321]

Galaxy rasbora are overpriced and only last a couple of years.

[@Shawn-im4pm]

You dont have the Ellasoma Gilberti on this list? Man they are the best nano fish alive!!

[@no-knickers-emma1112]

I'm not really a fan of these types of videos. My water hardness dictates what fish I can keep

[@Freedom_Fighter72]

Try RO water

[@logancochis]

So many options

[@adelinawarriner6259]

why would I fuss with that when it's gonna create ph and hardness instability every time there's water added or changed? I'm on a well my pH is high and hardness is moderate.. danios, neons, long fine rosy barb and dwarf Cory's are all doing fine (22 months this location).. I'm setting up my big tank for a community setting as so far most channels are giving different info on the fish (pH and hardness) 1/2 the websites don't even list the parameters. ​@@Freedom_Fighter72

[@corinnegunter3889]

I have hard water like very hard water and ph 8.2 and I keep chili rasbora and galaxy rasbora/cpd. I think as long as the fish are acclimatized to it these are all fine in hard water.

[@OFishelyFishes]

That used to be a real issue with hobbyists because most of our fishes were wild caught. These days most fishes will be raised in water that has a pH of 7.5 to 8.5, GH hardness of 200-300 and KH hardness of around 120. This means that if you use tap water in most areas, your fish will do fine. 🐟
