@concorde232 Its simply a matter of preferance. Just like with dogs some people like pitbulls and some people like poodles. There's nothing wrong with tropicals; I have several tropical tanks now. But goldfish have more personality than many tropical fish. My goldfish are pets who seem to enjoy interacting with me where as my tropical fish (though just as well cared for) are more or less just something pretty to watch. As long as I feed the tropicals they could care less weather I come or go.
wats all that argueing abut??? theres no need for it really let him get on with it hunni i love ya fish :) i want ya platys :( give emmm to meeeee!!!! ;) ppllzzzz just kidding hey ya got sum lovely fish in there :D im all new to tropical myself i think iv got quite a few now i want more platys tho can i have urs :D just kidding :)
@boltp777 and thus proves my point, your just digging a hole, and talk is cheap. I doubt you could, as far as im concerned, your a poser who only likes to hate. Some of us are trying to actually watch stuff we enjoy, but trolls like you take the fun out of it.
@lightblockade This little turd has been blocked. I post these videos for people to enjoy and in hopes to educate people in proper fish husbandry. Not for trolling little shit stains who don't have a life to drag people down with their negative attitudes. Thank you for sticking up for me dear but lets spend our energy on positive things rather than wasting it on people that don't matter.
@magscat3161 i have also blocked him, and im sorry to start an argument, but i couldnt stand it. I hate cowards who feel powerful when they tear down people behind a computer. It sickens me ;)
@jamie5838 63 liters is a little over 16 US gallons. you need 1 gallon per inch of any species who's adult size is 3 inches or less. Once you do the math your current selection would leave a 63liter aquarium overstocked.
if you had bothered to read any of my other comments you would have seen that I didn't buy these fish but took them from some one who was going to flush them down the toilet. I don't condone the tattooing of fish by any means. "Plus", weather you like how I set up my aquarium or not doesn't concern me even slightly.
@boltp777 im sorry, it looks like your the only asshole here, move along kid. Just because you have sheltered anger doesnt mean you need to take it out on magscat. Pathetic
Don't cry too hard for them. I took them from some one who wanted to flush them LIVE down the toilet. I hate it that people tattoo fish, it's cruel and I won't buy them. However, I couldn't see these having to suffer even more.
thats a butiful and well decorated tank and youre water quality looks good and ure fish look great good luck with you tropical fish p.s i also prefere coldwater i have orandas myself and commets and commens and some small koi and a sturgion in my pond
You should join a forum for fish keepers ^_^ alot has changed over the years in this hobby and finding a good community forum can help when problems arise, give you some good tips on things that can save you money in the hobby, and it's nice to have ppl to talk to that love fish keeping as much as you do. I've made alot of friends this way ^_^
Yes mine reproduce but I don't make any special accommodations for the babies so the parents and the bumble bee catfish eat them all. It may sound harsh but it keeps my tanks from getting over crowded and I don't have a bunch of inbreeding going on.
hi i um have a 29 gallon tank and started cycling it like 2 days ago and the water is still kinda foggy. my filter is a whisper power filter 30 by tetra. is that good for my tank or do i need a different one? and wats the problem with my tank still being foggy? plz help me!!!! ty
A tank usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks to establish an initial cycle and 6 months to a year to establish what's known known as a mature cycle. Filtration needs depend on what kind of fish you're keeping and how many you have (or can potentially have as some are easy breeders). The Safest and easiest way to cycle your tank would be to do a fishless cycle. I'll think I'll send u a message there's just not enough room to really answer ur questions here lol
using clear ammonia with no soaping agents is safer. You don't have to expose fish to the unsafe swinging chemical parameters in an uncycled tank. Plus without fish in there during the cycling process you don't have to do daily water changes.
It's just white gravel. You have to be careful using sand as a substrate. Some fish species don't tolerate it very well as it irritates their gills when they forage in it. For other species sand is the ideal substrate.
Eh.. goldfish aren't for every one lol I like pretty much all fish but I feel like many of the larger species shouldn't be readily available to general hobbyists. Most people stuff them in tanks too small, feed poor diets, and for the most part don't have a damn clue as to how to care for them properly.
I don't feel goldfish should be available to just any one. They are much harder and more expensive to care for properly than most people are willing to do. I also don't agree with the idea of stores taking fish back. They shouldn't sell them in the first place if the buyer isn't prepared to care for an adult animal. it's like buying a puppy knowing you can't keep it as an adult so you dump it in the pound when it gets too big.
lol. 209... fun... sorry for all my questions; please tell me if it is annoying. i was wondering how much harder/easier it is to raise tropical fish? also, what are some tools you need in a tropical tank that you don't in a cool water/ goldfish tank? thanks a lot for all your answers! I really appreciate it!
With tropicals it depends on the species as to weather they are hard or easy to keep. Generally most beginners in the hobby start with easy keepers like live bearers and hardy tetras. what makes them easy to keep it the fact that they do fairly well in a wide range of water chemistry. Always research the individual needs of each species you're interested in. Not all fish can go together and not all fish should go together.
Some tools you need: A heater obviously lol tropical get sick very easily if they are exposed to cooler temps for very long. Invest in a good water testing kit. The foundation of good health in fish is good water quality. Clear water does not always = clean water so being able to test for toxic chemicals from waste build up is very important. You should look into joining a fish forum their great tools for learning about the hobby and its many different aspects.
I started this tank with 6 platies, 2 pot bellied mollies, and a bumblebee catfish. The platies had babies...alot of babies. So I had to move them all to a planted 55gallon tank.
I don't get bored with living things. Their not a toy to entertain me and they aren't an ornament to decorate my house. I try to give any living creature the same kindness and consideration I would hope for.
yeah i suppose so but the main objective of selling them is because its a common hobby entertainment is the main thing i might actually get a tank for my room and fill it with every colour of platy possible and also add a few gouramis i need a peacful tank my other one is crazy lol try adding corydoras to your tank you can pick up some really cheap there really good for the community tank like yours
there are around 209 different color variations for platties with new developments almost every year. I sincerely doubt you have enough room for all the possible color variations.
there will be more variations than that due to cross breeding you could go on for ever im sure but i didnt mean 209 diffrent plattys in my tank i just meant every colour variation they sell where i live which is probably around 15 to 20
My house is average sized. I don't live in a mansion or nothing lol. I'm not rich either. Most of the time when I want something for my fish I save up for it. I also buy alot of things second hand. Much cheaper that way
Cute fishes :) (A little tip; to make the cucumber sink, put it on a fork/spoon with a thread attached around the fork/spoon, so you can easily take it up ;D)
They were given to me by some one who wanted to flush them down the toilet. I don't condone tattooing of fish either. I won't buy them but if some one gives one to me I'll still give it a good home.
You know the fish at :48, i saw them DEAD at PETCO. THere was 20 and like u could litteraly see there bones and skeletons sitcking out. And they were getting sucked in the filter one by one. i came back 5 days later, samething, they were still there. So those fish creep me out.
listen i have a 125gal tank and i have all cichlidsi think u should only get 3 at a time because its easyer on the fish . i dont think Guppies Red Wag Platys r that cool im not tryin to be mean but go for some better fish like a tropheus duboisi
Different species of fish are like different breeds of dog in the respect that different species/breeds suit different peoples needs, preferences, or life styles. Just because you don't like guppies and platties doesn't mean they aren't the perfect pet for some one else who decides they like them. I'm not a huge Oscar fan personally but I don't bash them b/c they are perfect pets for the people who do enjoy them.
I am about to start my first tropical tank as well in a 46 gallon tank. Any advice?
I wanted to start with 6 Neon Tetras, 12 ALL Male Guppies (two different types),
6 male Red Wag Platys. Should I get all the fish at once or in stages? The tank is already established. It had 5 goldfish in it. Let me know your thoughts.. thanks.
I'd get them all at once that way you can treat them for all the "new fish" issues at once and don't have to set up a hospital tank to quarantine new fish in stages which would take a very long time. I like your stocking choices all easy keepers to gain good experience from. just make sure they have good plant cover from either real or artificial plants
They were given to me by some one who didn't want them any more. I've actually seen the salt and pepper (or dalmatian) platy for sale at my local walmart. I don't like buying fish from walmart because they're always sick and poor quality but I have seen them there.
i hate thikin how much money ive put in and the efforts unbelivable but it all worthit i mean look at my vid its still a work in progress but its well on its way after 12monthes
uh...good question lol I have several and I stopped keeping track of how much I've spent so far! XD If I had to take a guess on how much I've spent on this hobby I'd have to say over 20,000 at least.
i love this kind of fish.. they require no special needs.. and are cheap to buy.... though.... they seem to attack others until the whole tail of a "prey" fish is gone.. living it floating and dead...
They usually only show aggression if you over crowd the tank or allow poor water quality to stress them. I've never had aggression issues with platties, mollies, or swordtails
Hello there! You're tropical platties and mollies are lovely. I live in the Philippines and I decided to post my gouramis' video to share with you. Happy Holidays!
hi can i join your discussion and im hoping that you would answer to my message..or what you call this comments...i do have tri-color mollies some called them 24-k...i will post it soon so that you can also view mine mollies here in Philippines, Mindanao..and i like to do trade...
i just want to ask if either on of you here have green sailfin mollies??
Srry I took so long to answer I haven't been online in forever. I don't own green sail fins at the moment. They're kinda hard to find where I'm living right now.
I love tropical fish and i love the different verieties of fish in your tank ...... i think your american ? am i correct? because im english and we prefer to say liters but anywat i love the video could u plz coment back to me plz your sincerly nebynnad7271 xxx
dude tropicals are better they looked like boring fish (no affence dude) you need to get some bettas i have had mine for years now they are brilliant!!
I'm a chick LOL. I keep all kinds of fish from oscars to angels and everything in between. I love goldfish. They just suit me. they aren't for every one though and I'm cool with those who don't share my affection for them LOL. I also keep bettas and have a few lovely individuals. :)
You're welcome! I supervise the emergency care and breeding sections for the aquapuppies goldfish forum. You should come and check it out. I know the forum is mainly for goldfish but we welcome anyone who loves any kind of fish and many of our members keep many types of fish other than goldfish.
It depends on what the ph of your tap water is. The ph of my tap water is really high (8.4) So I have to use alot more to lower the ph. You'll just have to experiment with it and find out how much works for you.
Well you can buy products to raise or lower the ph of your tank. Or if you're like me and like to take common sense short cuts you can just use lemon juice to lower the ph. Lemon juice will not only lower the ph but also give the fish vitamin C which they can't make for themselves.
Wow, nice tank, and a lovely hobby to get into, i have a 15 gal tank. At the moment, im trying to breed Honey Gaurami. They are really hard. If anyone has any tips (except from keeping the surface air hot and warm, and lots of floating plants)
They need a bigger tank. You need 30gallons per pair if you want them to breed and the ph needs to be kept between 6.5 and 6.8. They like the water to be a bit acidic to put them in a romantic mood LOL.
I absoloutly adore your King Cobra/Mickey mouse platy, never ever seen that mix before. King Cobra platy has always been my favorite. Your red/black wagtail is very cute too. Nice tank ^^
LOL who doesn't! When I bought this set up all we had was a wal-mart. I would have had to drive for an hour & 45min to a good fish shop to buy any thing if it weren't for Wally world. That's what I get for living in a map dot!
The adults will eat them if there's not enough cover in the tank. Plus if you have younger females they don't have as many babies at one time as older females do.
Thsoe are beautiful tropical fish, i keep gupipes and goldfish myself, guppies aregetting out of hand, they are the million fish, they breed way to much and i constantly looking for people to give it away, other than that they are very hardy adn great fis hto keep. Guppies PLaty an Molly look great together. But i do enjoy goldfish more beautiful tank set up btw, i'm dead jealous lol
Thanks! I'm a fish nut. Have been for as long as I can remember. I'm sure my hubby wishes I weren't since fish tanks take up alot of the room in our home.
Perfect , don't buy a goldfish , it will be more interesting when they start to giving birth and then growing up, tank look great for me , I think I have to buy a bigger , chears from Poland
Yeah I noticed I had to go buy a 10 gallon because it seemed like over night I had like 50 or 60 babies. I must have bought all the girls pregnant. I don't know any one who might want the babies and I'm afraid I may have to feed them to my goldfish to keep the numbers down. What a terrible thought.
those are some sexy fish!

I like goldfish too, but since I can only (barely) house two in a 29 gallon, I have to go with tropical. xD

My house is average sized. I don't live in a mansion or nothing lol. I'm not rich either. Most of the time when I want something for my fish I save up for it. I also buy alot of things second hand. Much cheaper that way

Cute fishes :) (A little tip; to make the cucumber sink, put it on a fork/spoon with a thread attached around the fork/spoon, so you can easily take it up ;D)

They were given to me by some one who wanted to flush them down the toilet. I don't condone tattooing of fish either. I won't buy them but if some one gives one to me I'll still give it a good home.

You know the fish at :48, i saw them DEAD at PETCO. THere was 20 and like u could litteraly see there bones and skeletons sitcking out. And they were getting sucked in the filter one by one. i came back 5 days later, samething, they were still there. So those fish creep me out.

If the conditions there are that bad you should complain to the management about them.

listen i have a 125gal tank and i have all cichlidsi think u should only get 3 at a time because its easyer on the fish . i dont think Guppies Red Wag Platys r that cool im not tryin to be mean but go for some better fish like a tropheus duboisi

Different species of fish are like different breeds of dog in the respect that different species/breeds suit different peoples needs, preferences, or life styles. Just because you don't like guppies and platties doesn't mean they aren't the perfect pet for some one else who decides they like them. I'm not a huge Oscar fan personally but I don't bash them b/c they are perfect pets for the people who do enjoy them.
magscat3161 3 years ago
I am about to start my first tropical tank as well in a 46 gallon tank. Any advice?
I wanted to start with 6 Neon Tetras, 12 ALL Male Guppies (two different types),
6 male Red Wag Platys. Should I get all the fish at once or in stages? The tank is already established. It had 5 goldfish in it. Let me know your thoughts.. thanks.
Octobersky1770 3 years ago
I'd get them all at once that way you can treat them for all the "new fish" issues at once and don't have to set up a hospital tank to quarantine new fish in stages which would take a very long time. I like your stocking choices all easy keepers to gain good experience from. just make sure they have good plant cover from either real or artificial plants

Hey man where did you get that dalmation platy I can never find any... Thanks
KatanaFish213 3 years ago
They were given to me by some one who didn't want them any more. I've actually seen the salt and pepper (or dalmatian) platy for sale at my local walmart. I don't like buying fish from walmart because they're always sick and poor quality but I have seen them there.

They usually only show aggression if you over crowd the tank or allow poor water quality to stress them. I've never had aggression issues with platties, mollies, or swordtails

You're welcome! I supervise the emergency care and breeding sections for the aquapuppies goldfish forum. You should come and check it out. I know the forum is mainly for goldfish but we welcome anyone who loves any kind of fish and many of our members keep many types of fish other than goldfish.

magscat3161 3 years ago
wow, your good, ive never heard of that before, how much per gallon do you know? or is it a guesstimate.
matoy77 3 years ago
It depends on what the ph of your tap water is. The ph of my tap water is really high (8.4) So I have to use alot more to lower the ph. You'll just have to experiment with it and find out how much works for you.
magscat3161 3 years ago
thanks, but oh bugger, i cant get a bigger tank, and i dont know how to lower the pH
matoy77 3 years ago
Well you can buy products to raise or lower the ph of your tank. Or if you're like me and like to take common sense short cuts you can just use lemon juice to lower the ph. Lemon juice will not only lower the ph but also give the fish vitamin C which they can't make for themselves.

Wow, nice tank, and a lovely hobby to get into, i have a 15 gal tank. At the moment, im trying to breed Honey Gaurami. They are really hard. If anyone has any tips (except from keeping the surface air hot and warm, and lots of floating plants)
Would be helpfull, thanks.
matoy77 3 years ago
They need a bigger tank. You need 30gallons per pair if you want them to breed and the ph needs to be kept between 6.5 and 6.8. They like the water to be a bit acidic to put them in a romantic mood LOL.

The adults will eat them if there's not enough cover in the tank. Plus if you have younger females they don't have as many babies at one time as older females do.

Thsoe are beautiful tropical fish, i keep gupipes and goldfish myself, guppies aregetting out of hand, they are the million fish, they breed way to much and i constantly looking for people to give it away, other than that they are very hardy adn great fis hto keep. Guppies PLaty an Molly look great together. But i do enjoy goldfish more beautiful tank set up btw, i'm dead jealous lol

Yeah I noticed I had to go buy a 10 gallon because it seemed like over night I had like 50 or 60 babies. I must have bought all the girls pregnant. I don't know any one who might want the babies and I'm afraid I may have to feed them to my goldfish to keep the numbers down. What a terrible thought.
