Top Ten Most UNDERRATED Community Aquarium Fish

[@Ultimateshine-js2pd]

A cordial greeting, I would like to thank you for the topic presented in a question in which I did not have 100% full knowledge. Very objective, straight to the point.

The white cloud mountain minnow is one of my favourite aquarium fish. They have loveky colours and patterns, and interesting schoolikg behavious. The pearl gourami is my number 1 favourite fish. So beautiful when coulour up, really hardy and so graceful in their movements.

[@rogerhuggettjr.7675]

Good video! Nothing but love for white clouds. I have a 29-gallon that has white clouds, dwarf frogs, neons and 4 betta females. My clouds proved their durability in that when I had cherry barbs and cardinals that died from ick, NONE OF THE WHITE CLOUDS GOT SICK. I also have some simple female bettas with them, leading to my second point. I have a 55-gallon community tank that was primarily intended to be a betta sorority but had to be broken up. I had large, beautiful koi bettas with cheap $5 bettas I rescued from Petco. The koi were aggressive with their smaller sisters, so I make the smaller ones, along with the new neons, the color to replace my dead barbs and cardinals. The 4 remaining koi bettas thrive with a dozen harlequin rasboras, 6 rainbow praecox, a large bristle nose pleco yoyo loaches and 3 of the biggest cories I've ever seen. They only showed aggression to their smaller sisters.

@@rogerhuggettjr.7675 Sorry to hear about all the ick casualties, but it is impressive to hear that all of your white clouds survived!

[@SuzanneSölvstedt]

the celestial danios are so beautiful but they are expensive where I live. I think the amanoshrimp is uderratded too but your selection seamed spot on. For some reson the rasbora naevus in the end are called strawberry rasboras in sweden and ofen are mixed up with boras maculatus.

[@Fishman2114]

@@SuzanneSölvstedt They are expensive here too; pretty sure they’re just expensive in general.

[@muhammadmiftahulkhairbinah2630]

Just curious. How expensive are they? I'm from Singapore, a celestial danio costs $2 a fish, a phoenix rasbora about $1.50.

[@mitsukuniyuuki255]

Same here. I live in Australia and celestial pearl danios are $21-30 each.. so pricey for such a tiny little cute fish.😢

[@SuzanneSölvstedt]

​@muhammadmiftahulkhairbinah2630 Last time I checked it was almost 6 dollars for one.😮 2 dollars is a good price. That is what other fish in that size cost.

[@webbrowser6454]

I love my "pearls". Both the CPD's and Guarami. Definitely an underrated guarami, but easily my favorite coloration and the danio's are just hard to come by and when I can find them they are usually pricey, but worth it.

[@TnDX3WIDOWEDDOWN]

Wonderful info and interesting fish.. I was surely like if you can do a segment on fish that can go together. Such as fish that need to be in pairs, fish that are too dominant, or fish that you should only have one for example.. Thank you for all your info I really enjoy your channel.❤

[@monopolova]

Love feeder guppies! Price hard to beat, you can get amazing colors (that normally would cost more), and you also get to experience a more natural look (which would have been what aquarists were used to historically). Agree also with feeder minnows -- make sure you buy from a fresh stock. Very interesting to watch.

[@Fishman2114]

@@monopolova Glad you enjoyed it! I do enjoy these guys, but at this point I only have one female left (I separated males and females). They don’t live very long, even compared to other fish.

[@davidhansen4416]

I’ve had a few tanks with feeder guppies as the center piece, I absolutely love apistos, & “Rosy Reds” are actually Fathead Minnows & the red (golden) color was originally a sport but were eventually bred for the color. The bronzish ones you see are their natural color.

[@catfishm.1361]

I have a 40 gallon with only CPD's and ember tetras. It's kind of a black water tank (I live in a pine flats area and used sand from my property). The water is a gold color and the evening sun hits the ember tetras and gives of a metallic gold color. It's my favorite time to look at the tank!

I almost fully agree with your entire list. Number one should always be the harlequin or phoenix. White clouds are basically extinct in the wild. Runner ups. The endler, too water minnow, clown loach and hatchet fish or pea puffer

Are snails low bioload? I'd recently read that they can have quite a heavy bioload, particularly nerite snails.

I have a bunch of little black snails. My brother in law gave my daughter all of his fish and 2 aquariums. 1 10g and 1 30g. Would those little guys work well with a huge pleco?

Plecos don't eat snails. But a large common pleco is a big bio load. Try a bristlecone or smaller species.

@@yeeet000 So I’d only recommend having one or the other. For a 15 gallon I’d say you could have a hill stream loach or a Borneo. Just because they are pretty territorial with themselves and one another. But it’s not a crazy bioload.

​@luciad5988 They are safe, I have two separate tanks with cherry neocaridinas and assassin snails. The only time you'd see an assassin snail eating a shrimp or fish is if it has already died. Assassin snails will also occasionally eat soft algae, unfortunately they ate all my limpets. 😢

[@andrewharmon9873]

Assassin's will eat anything they can capture. Mystery snails work amazing and don't need brackish water to mate. As long as the water gets above 79° and a massive water change they will make many more. Use a small container and simply with water inside float the hard egg cluster. You will forever have snails. All loaches will eat snails. I hobbies snails for the shells for shell dwelling chiclids
