Cory, what's your opinion on the aqaurium hobby's impact on plants and animals in the wild

[@dorothyharrison2765]

I bought my first Golden Wonder a couple of weeks ago. As I was reading about them eating smaller fish, I turned and saw he had a guppy in his mouth. I had to scoop him up and put them in my 30 gallon. He's doing great now, and it does look like he's smiling.

[@Alec2cool]

I'm severely hearing impaired and would greatly appreciate english subtitles added to this video, thank you so much!

[@joshposhgosh11]

Favorite species for fresh water hands down

[@user-xg8ij1hs3x]

You have to set it up in settings

[@EliteTreats]

Get some subtitles for them!

[@katieprice3984]

Yes!! We need more accessible fish content.

[@nutmeg33]

I agree there are so many videos on KZbin that don’t have subtitles. Even if you click the CC at the top on the video 🙃

[@spags8223]

This doesn't get said enough but major shoutout to the editor/s, the b-roll and the sound effects with freeze frames and labels were beautiful and a fantastic addition to the list videos!

[@jackiejax2013]

I tried breeding Gardneris for the longest and I never got any fry. Eventually I gave up and moved my pair into a 5 gallon and put some guppies in their old tank. Within a couple weeks the guppy tank had a ton of fry!! It was really fun guessing with my wife if they were guppies or killies 😂😂 I was convinced they were guppies but they ended up being killies!! ❤️❤️ guess I needed more cover

[@stephanieguyot]

If Cory does end up going down the rabbit hole, I’d like to hear about the process of shipping and hatching dried killifish eggs. That fascinates me and I’m sure he’s done it.

[@davidecardinali9998]

its super easy and you can find 1000 different types ... check the african ones its crazy

[@lemonlizard1]

The eggs are usually shipped in wet peat/sphagnum moss

[@xxkitsunefirexx]

I love my school of norman's lampeyes. My female betta is the centerpiece but they pop like crazy when the light hits them right. They're definitely going to be my gateway fish into other killis.

[@NeRo9k]

I love these 'list' videos! They introduce me to different types of fish that I've never seen before. Thanks :)

[@JJJOOSSHHH]

Also, for people to know. The golden wonder killi fish can jump atleast 6 inches out of the water. Before my trip to Galveston I dropped the water about 3 inches so it was about 6 inches from the rim. I came home and my biggest one had jumped ship. LIDS ARE IMPORTANT.

[@thewhistlingpixie]

Wow! I just got some and I know they jump but that's good to know!!

[@ThrivePetDesign]

Killifish are such great fish!! I even love the female clown killis, so sweet and beautiful 🐠

[@garg4531]

Killifish are such beautiful fish, and it's one thing to see pictures of them online but I love seeing videos of them like here because you can get to see their natural behavior and just how entertaining they can be! They definitely look like fun fish to keep

[@drewsample9610]

I'm keeping Gardener Killi and Indian Killi/Ricefish (Oryzias dancena) they are some of my favorites. I saw the Oryzias dropping eggs yesterday!

[@toadshi9]

Very cool, crazy how diverse even a single species of fish can be!

[@kelleyforeman]

Thanks for the video! I learned the hard way many years ago that killis need a lid. Everyone became a snack for the dogs!

[@davewoods8717]

Thank you Corey, good info. Wish I had see this years ago. A school of neons slowly disappeared into a golden when I was less educated.

[@donaldhall8785]

We have had a breeding pair of Golden Wonders (Pete & Gladys) for close to 4 years now. We continually find fry in the community tank they live in and simply transfer the fry to a 20 gallon grow out tank. Their favorite food is without a doubt dried mosquito larvae. They just go nuts for these and it makes feeding time a whole lot more fun. Their tankmates are a small school of White Clouds, 2 Bristlenose Plecos, 2 Dwarf Kookoo catfish and a breeding colony of Panda Corys. Never had a single problem with the Wonders and highly recommend them to everyone.

[@cassidyfullerton2881]

Another great Sunday video! You've really got me thinking of starting a killifish tank! They're beautiful!

[@alisonmaczka7359]

Worth it. I have clown killies and I absolutely love them.

[@cSquaredFactotum]

Saw some clown killis in my LFS and they look even better in person! Such a neat little fish, definitely want to give them a go someday.

[@derekkuehn3816]

The Gardneri killifish looks amazing! I'm definitely going to try and get a hold of some of those for my next tank setup. Appreciate the info as always!

[@justinturner4850]

Aquarium co-op. Please do a video for those of us that live in hot climates. I live in Hawaii and it’s 75 to 85 degrees in my house all year so I usually see 82 degrees on my tank thermometer. Are there any fish that’s TOO hot for? How does this effect guppies? Tetras? Plants? Etc. thank you for teaching me so much, I really like your videos.

[@chadivens4145]

Great video Cory I love when you do small clips like this of a species of fish or odd ball fish that are easy to take care of and you always go into great detail about it which makes it very informative and you always try to shine like on all fish which keeps the hobby going.

[@alfredovillarreal3452]

Its so crazy how you pop out with videos that relate to what I do sometimes. I bought a golden wonder killi last week

[@Ryan-ny6qi]

I remember asking if you liked killifish in one of your livestreams, slightly dropping a hint for this video but not directly asking it. Sick content. I keep the orange australe killi ! Bred them and now the fry are at a size where they're showing breeding behaviour too ! So exciting.

[@beasluszka6258]

I've loved Killis from afar for years. Scared off in large part by the short life span. So, this helped! Thanks

[@emilychampagne7811]

My golden wonder is going on 5 years old now. He's a big guy, about 4 inches and rules the top of my 90 gallon

[@stevetorley817]

How many do you keep? Just the one or a group? Thanks

[@josephstanley200]

These are sooooo great my favorites here have to be the orange australe and the clowns just wow And 4:06 looks like he smiling loving life What more can you ask for

[@MrFuzz-hz7uv]

Wow! Who couldn’t love Killifish! I have a tank set up for breeding gardeneri, but it’s a little hard to find them as well as other species in general.

[@kevinchristyan36]

One of my gardneri killi pass away today, it fight against it's own reflection 😔😔😔

[@bencheeeeese]

I actually feed my clown killies your fry food they love that stuff. I can't stop them from breeding and I love it!!! Great video

[@nirvanaghost3408]

Thanks for mentioning the golden wonders. Despite not being the prettiest, they have the personality and availability!

[@jonathankool1997]

Fantastic Cory. I've actually had a few of my friends who have gotten into more nano tanks getting these and they would love to breed them. So I'll be sending them your way!!

[@debrad1979]

I kinda like when you go down the rabbit hole. Killifish would be a great topic to go into deeper. Thanks Cory.

[@MridulSinghMusic]

Killifish are a fun breeding project indeed! The hardest part for me is picking which one to breed!

[@elsernall8732]

Wow these fish are amazing! I can’t believe they don’t need a heater with all the tropical looking patterns to them!

[@messyfishkeeping6056]

I think it would be super cool if you to do a video of all the meds you went through before you found your dewormer meds. I know you always say “what works for me might not work for you” but I think I’d be cool to see all of the things that DIDNT work for you. There’s lots of bunk products.

[@keystoneoutdoors6866]

Never knew how cool these fish were! Definitely am looking forward to start a breeding project with a species of killifish! Thank you for another awesome video! 👍

[@toniknight5444]

They’re so pretty! Hmmm when’s the next Petco $1 sale??? 😊

[@johannes2519]

The clowns are so cute. I gave mine away cause I changed my fish. Obviously they left eggs in the moss and now I have two males in the new tank :-)

[@jaydent4266]

Love the videos. Always look forward too them

[@colinbrady2323]

Just got a 20 long and I really want to start breeding something in it. I was sold on trying my hand at pygmy sunfish, but those black pearl killis are amazing.

[@BassianoGallo]

These are gorgeous! I've just been getting into the hobby, so I've been learning a lot from you, Cory!

[@alexathehuman]

I love these videos. I’ve never considered keeping killifish before but they look so fun and vibrant ☺️

[@nog2you]

Just got some Clown Kilifish a couple of weeks ago... now I got Babys, just found them today! super excited...

[@wendihamlett105]

These may be my next adventure! Sure are cute.

[@kylekikendall]

Awesome Vid! Thanks for all the great info. Cory!

[@lisaapodaca7619]

I was just looking into these, thanks!

[@joannagajdosz8414]

Killifish are what started my fish obsession. Love love love

[@fernandocardenas2316]

These guys are pretty territorial and get violent with fish even slightly smaller. Mine is kinda carnivorous, never wants pellets/flakes. Worth it though.

[@TheOrdinaryGamertag]

Clown killi is one ive personally been interested in lately. Great video Cory

[@its_hutch_7505]

Good information for newbies to Killifish. Thanks for the video.

[@marciapaige6574]

Great information Cory-thank you!

[@coktavianuss406]

just bought some blue gularis eggs, fingers crossed i can hatch and keep them

[@amberhart8047]

Always adding new fish to the must have list. Thanks coop 😝😎 now on to tank 16. Lol

[@emilyszczublewski4098]

Currently have an empty tank thanks for the ideas!!

[@bruce_lero1]

Great list, amazing little fish!

[@RescueDogTreats]

Always a great Coop vid...love you guys for years!

[@garrenb8462]

Awesome video!! I heard about these fish but never thought about keeping them. Now seeing this video I am interested.

[@anniec4353]

I love that you highlighted the longer lived killis

[@demith82]

New to Killies, want to try them on the next aquarium!!

[@jimmyreese4740]

Another great video from Aquarium Co-Op

[@schafable]

Thanks for all the videos you put out!

[@basskase8209]

I've thought about getting some killifish. This makes me want to try them sooner rather than later. Lol

[@davesoucier5531]

Definitely adding a couple of these to my fish bucket list.

[@MrGates-yk3ij]

Love killifish!!! Thanks for more great content❤️

[@jfsavage2708]

Very helpful video, thanks Cory!

[@brandonleewyatt]

I love the new background!!!!

[@evita1643]

I was really tempted to buy the clown killifish when i saw them at the store. Beautiful fish!

[@pumpkintot1672]

Gonna have to keep these in mind for stocking my new tank when its ready!

[@krillicool]

Just what I needed, thanks Cory

[@MissKari1116]

Thanks for the video!

[@Cgraseck]

Great vid! In Epiplatys annulatus the species name “annulatus” means ringed not annual. Note the missing a before the L. Cheers, Chris

[@trevorgregori9667]

Thanks for sharing. Haven’t thought of getting killifish but it’s nice to know where to start if I decide to start a tank for them.

[@seanf8581]

Great info. Thanks.

[@k1llkyle463]

Was recently at petco and saw they had killis and rainbows they're really stepping up their selection

[@MaryK4242]

Good info. Thanks Cory.

[@paigesaunders8330]

Great video. Love Killies, they're so underrated really.

[@billcoleman782]

Great info Cory.

[@jeanmck1577]

I don't know why killis aren't mentioned more often. They're fantastic fish. Thanks for a great video. 👍

[@RikoStan]

Some awesome looking Killifish. I know I'll grab some at some point in the future.

[@javonr7794]

Thank you again for another great video!!!

[@MasterPhotographer]

Thanks for another great video!

[@kyronesheriff6514]

Definitely gonna have to try killifish in the near future. Great video Cory.

[@25TheCaveMan]

I just started working with guppies, so maybe once I'm done with those (or can convince my SO to get another tank, lol), I'll try out some of these...thanks for the awesome info as always!!

[@tracyhoneycomb1377]

There are so many beautiful killifish, I really must give them a try!

[@KathyKrueger]

Beautiful colors!

[@DannysAquariums]

Killifish are awesome! I really like them.

[@Murray2015]

Great video! Some of my favourite killis!

[@nataliebarroga6682]

I wondered if clown kilis could go in my unheated 10 and sounds like a yes! Great info - thank you!

[@SP-qs4yh]

A note to the golden wonder killiefish if it is smaller than them it will go in the mouth. These things will eat full grown guppies and danios. The only thing I found it didn’t eat were the bumblee bee gobies which was very unusual. I never did see them eat eat the fish but you could tell when floating them in the bag they were after them so I had to move them to another aquarium

[@leo2o915]

Awesome video like always

[@kellyanthony5049]

Look forward to your Sunday video every week!

[@brockshouse4893]

Just got killifish yesterday and this pops up in my notifications.

[@robertparaschiv7756]

Great video!! 👍🐠🐠🐠

[@AFricanTigerr]

I have an empty tank & can't wait to try these cool fish! Thanks!

[@Matthew-rw6ij]

Great I was think about a pair of killis for my 15 gallon!
