The BEST Fish For Every Aquarium Size

It's great that you're giving some love to Mollies. I've been keeping fish for 30 years and kept so many different fish over those years from Discus to puffers but I've always kept a tank of mollies. They eat out of my hand, they are always pleased to see me and as tame and friendly as any fish I've kept. I can cup my hand in their tank and they'll line up and fight to be the one to jump in my hand and interact with me. Guppies, swordtails and platies get loads of attention on YouTube compared to mollies and although I do keep guppies as well, for me mollies are a big step above in personality. My favorites are the dalmation lyretail and I have some that are more black than white which have a kind of dragon scale which are stunning.

Feels great to see the old tried and true format. I will watch these over and over for some reason.

We moved from Virginia to North Dakota ourselves and I gave away my fish before we left. I'm glad I did too as it's all about the water. Now I have my 55 set up as a heavily planted angel tank.

My favorite combo of fish is rainbows and angels in planted tank. I got a 75 gallon tank with 21 rainbows, of different species, 6 Congos and 4 angels. with a good filter and weekly water changes, it’s definitely a stunning tank.

8:12 As a proud Dalmation Molly owner, I totally endorse this statement! They are active, curious, and very eye catching day and night (they look great under the blue light!) they are in a 30 gallon too, it fits!

I've recently upgraded up to a 29 gallon here in the UK that's about 110litres, so far got 1 bristle nose, neon tetras, dalmatian mollies, guppies, black skirt tetras and some ramshorn snails next on the list I think will be some honey gouramis

About the suggestion of putting 50 Corys in a 150 gallons, I must admit if not Corys I'd actually put 50 small schooling fish in it... I love them that much.

Hmmm... I'd have to disagree on a 10 gallon for zebra danios. I don't think anything smaller than a 20 long personally. They're so high activity a 10 seems a little too small imho.

I have mystery snails and green fire tetras (Aphyocharax rathbuni), and the males have silver tips on fins and tail, with a partial streak of red. They can look really dull at the store but they shine in a planted tank with a dark background and substrate! And mystery snails are charming and hilarious. I never expected to fall in love with snails. They are my sworn enemy in the garden. But these guys just jump off the tank walls and go "parasnailing" with their foot as a parachute, floating back down. 2 of mine figured out that if they let go in a bubble column, they can get shot up to the top and THEN parachute down. They seem to like to be around each other, too. Surprisingly adorable for creatures who only have primitive brains.

Nice video Love the Video Idea ❤

I would love to have Discus, but I can literally not afford them, around here you’re looking at $65-$80 for tank raised and well over $100 for wild caught per fish.

Mollies are awesome. The Black mollies are my favorite because they can be put in salt water and their color tend to pop even more when they are in salt water. They were my first " Sort of " salt water fish I got in September 1976.

I like 10 gallon for planted shrimp tank. 55-75 gallon for angelfish community tank with tetras When angels get in the breeding mood that’s when the 20 gallon come into play.

I would keep Zebra Danios in at least a 15 gallon tank, or 20 gallon going standard sizes. They are hardy and absolutely survive in a 10 gallon, but it's very limited with their energy and swimming speed. Keep them in a 20 gallong for the same reason you keep Comet goldfish in something bigger than a 75 gallon. And I think it's a good thing the Oscar was bumped to the 150 gallon tank size, 125 is ok for a single one, but they really shine in a bigger tank... preferrably even a 180 or larger!

55 with Angels and Tetras…. It took me 3 years, but that is what I have… finally 🎉 … full with live plants, a massive canister and in-line heater… love it!!!

Great video guys!

Lisa, sorry to hear about your discus. Perhaps you could find some local that are kept in your same water that doesn't alter the pH and just use tap water. That is what I did since my tap water is a pH of 8.0. This is the first time I've kept Discus.

Ain’t no party like a Danio party because the Danio party don’t stop! And platies are awesome!

Love this channel I have been binge watching videos for the last few days while cycling my first betta tank

Nice video John. I got oscars in a 400 gallon with some other south and Central American cichlids. I think u will be happy about this cause I got them in a big tank
