Rachel,

Are you breeding everything that you offer through the website?

Rachel O'leary thanks, love your spread!

Were your shelves custom made and is there a rule of thumb about how much weight they can bare?

Maxime Veilleux - 7 years ago

Thank you for your generosity :)

Ben Hodges - 7 years ago

beauty is in the eye of the beholder I love your tanks but put some backgrounds on them just saying maybe that's my personal preference but dude your tanks are awesome

Brian Leonard - 7 years ago

Rachel do you have special lights for your live plants, and do they need to be on so many hours a day? Do you use Carbon dioxide tanks to feed the plants? Thank you for your input!

Nikki B. - 7 years ago

But why no aquascapers allowed? D:

QuebecCichlides - 7 years ago

Congratulations on your fish room! I know what it's like to have hundreds of tanks. I love them so much but what a work load. It's all worth it in the end.
I just did a video tour of my fish room, check it out on my channel <3

Your 150 looked amazing! Would love to see more of that one. I'll go check and see if you have any vids on that one. Thanks for sharing.

Rachel O'leary - 7 years ago

+AquaWoman I have a whole playlist!

musicalmarion - 7 years ago

Hi Rachel, I chose to comment under this particular video because I think you can give great advice about running several tanks when we're worrying about fire hazards. It's so easy to keep plugging in lights and heaters and extension cords and I wanted to ask did you ever do a great video for everyone to ensure nobody is going to burn down their home making a fish room, and can we push being safe and efficient if we run several tanks? It's a real safety issue and I don't think people realise when they start this hobby, mixing electricity and water. I think you could be the person to make a real point out there about it, and hopefully it would save some lives too ! Your videos are so great and I would love to hear your take on safety and cost.

musicalmarion - 7 years ago

Thanks Rachel, I just bought some power breakers to plug the extension cords into, but even so, it's a worry especially in hot weather ! I scared myself watching some electrical overloads ! : )

Rachel O'leary - 7 years ago

I haven't, but that is a good idea.

I noticed in some tanks - 5:08 you have lots of tunnels and tubes. Is that what that specific species prefer then?

Rachel O'leary - 7 years ago

+Mysmall petshop yes

djmocok - 7 years ago

Rachel if you have some space for another tank, why not try making an apisto habitat tank? Something different as it won't be as bright as most of your tanks

Narniee - 7 years ago

Are there any shrimp that are known for beginners? ive had a small tropical tank before but just discovered shrimp and omg theyre so cute and im intrigued!

keyboardjedi - 7 years ago

Impressive. Can you tell me what the two types of fish are in the tank you showed at 11:47. It sounded like you said "saw-blas"? One of them is mostly yellow and the other has an orange head with orange tipped tail fins. Thanks!

Rachel O'leary - 7 years ago

+keyboardjedi those are the females. Only males are colorful

keyboardjedi - 7 years ago

Ah. What about the yellow ones with them?

Linda A - 7 years ago

Jimi182 - 7 years ago

Rachel you're dinosaur tank is awesome !!!!!!!! I have a bicher also but mine is only about a year old so he is maybe 9'' long and as big around as a nickel. How old are yours????

Rachel O'leary - 7 years ago

+Jimi182 mmm, ranges from 7-10 years old

Brooklin Mercedes - 7 years ago

I'm positive that EVERYONE in the fish keeping hobby breeds water spots

Marta Wawrzaszek - 7 years ago

why you keep those animals inside those things? there is any puropse of it or you just want to have fun watching them like that?

TheBSideDJ - 7 years ago

we call "those things" aquariums or fishtanks, or often just "tanks". keeping them out of those things would kill them. Yes we watch them, and we also listen to them when they got an interesting story to tell.

Emma's Animal Adventure - 7 years ago

Marta Wawrzaszek they are all healthy they are in perfect conditions and it is an aquarium channel

Rachel O'leary - 7 years ago

+Marta Wawrzaszek seriously? This is an aquarium channel

very nice video thank you for sharing love the natural approach to your fish keeping!! how large roughly is the entire fish room?

Rachel O'leary - 7 years ago

oh boy. Same floor plan as our house! I am not sure. I would have to look at my tax papers! hahahah.

Fish Tropic - 7 years ago

Nice video , sub'd up !!!

olizardokingo - 7 years ago

Have you tried breeding the Amanos with any success? I got zoes to live to almost 30 days but most had died off around 15-20 days. Even if I was successful I am not sure if it is worth the effort over just buying them. Also, did you get your white clouds from LFS or did you mail order?

Annie Nielsen - 7 years ago

What filters do you use?

Lets Talk Pocket Knives! - 7 years ago

Annie Nielsen looks like she has most the tanks rigged with sponge filters and is using a large air pump to run the whole operation. 90% of large "fish rooms" use sponge filters. Cheap, easy, and baby fish friendly.

Wow. Your water bill must be outrageous.

Rachel O'leary - 7 years ago

+TheBSideDJ it's on the "cold side " Of the fishroom.

TheBSideDJ - 7 years ago

OK. What about different temperature needs in different tanks ? How do you deal with your big tank which needs a colder season, no ?

Rachel O'leary - 7 years ago

+TheBSideDJ we heat with wood

TheBSideDJ - 7 years ago

rachel : what about heating ?

Rachel O'leary - 7 years ago

+SpitnGames yes

SpitnGames - 7 years ago

Rachel O'leary 300 a month? is that added with the electricity you use on a regular basis other than the tanks?

Rachel O'leary - 7 years ago

+SpitnGames it could be worse. Run by an 80w central pumps. Lights are the killer. $300/mo

jason rothfeld - 8 years ago

How much did this cost you out of curiosity lol? Im considering doing a much smaller version of this.

Rachel O'leary - 8 years ago

+jason rothfeld they are scavengers rather then omnivores. He may be referencing macrobrachium shrimp which are much more aggressive

jason rothfeld - 8 years ago

+Rachel O'leary I have a random question for you about ghost shrimp. I have a 30 gallon community tank. I wanted to put in some ghost shrimp but my local fish store guy keeps telling me the males get big claws and get aggressive. Do you know this too be true? Thanks so much Rachel.

Rachel O'leary - 8 years ago

+jason rothfeld I built it over time, I really have no idea what the actual cost was. We fabricated the racks one by one as I could afford it and I upgraded as sales allowed

I d like to see them in the river NOT in jails !!!!!!!!

wendigolycan - 7 years ago

Yeah, good luck seeing them in a river, lol.

Avsfreak24 - 7 years ago

john darmiento The tanks aren't jails. Most of those fish have outlived their life span if they lived in the wild. The hobby does have its negative effects but the positive outweigh the negative. Plus she breeds most of them so she's helping with increasing the population of the captive bred fish so that suppliers don't have to catch them in the wild and destroy the wild populations.

Billy Hall - 8 years ago

Thanks so much!

Rachel O'leary - 8 years ago

+Billy Hall as needed, some tanks it's weekly, some monthly, some longer. The bubble output decreases and the water doesn't polish as well when they need to be cleaned

Yukino - 8 years ago

i noticed you keep assassin snails in the yellow shrimp tank. i thought assassin snails would kill both snails and small inverts like shrimp.

Yukino - 8 years ago

thank you so much! do you think that may be due to the size or and tank and/or number of shrimp? i was told that after they ran out of other snails to hunt, they would turn their attention to the other inhabitants. if they take out unhealthy shrimp, that is actually very beneficial

Rachel O'leary - 8 years ago

+Yukino they don't eat healthy shrimp in my experience. Been housing them together for over 10 years

Mj Mendez - 8 years ago

Bocskai Csaba - 8 years ago

I see many pros use air-sponge filters. My problem with these is that the water stinks. Does anyone else have similar experience?

Bocskai Csaba - 8 years ago

It's about few months old tanks. Could it be because of small bubble quantity? With big quantity I cannot sleep due to the noise.
When I started a water pump based filter, the smell disappeared in days; and the small sponge from that was not cycled.

Maria Cherry - 8 years ago

stuart ryan - 8 years ago

hey Rachel i was just wondering i have heard that corries dont like bare bottoms because it can damage there barbels im obviously not as advanced as you in the hobby and i was just wanting to know whether or not this is true and if it is what you do to be able to keep yours that way as i saw that some have bits of bare bottom ?

Rachel O'leary - 8 years ago

+stuart ryan aw, thanks!

stuart ryan - 8 years ago

ahh okay cool its just as they are some of my favourites and i love to learn more on how to keep them so thank you very much :) love your videos btw honestly one of my true heroes :)

Rachel O'leary - 8 years ago

Most of my QT tanks are bare bottom. It is MUCH easier to maintain excellent water quality without substrate, which is more important for the short term with the fish. When I am setting up a display tank, i would use very fine gravel or sand for cories. If I have them for a long time in my qt tanks, I will add a scattering of substrate for their comfort. It is true that substrate is important as part of many cory species natural feeding behavior, as well.

That was great, I was so waiting to see this video from you.

You know what else would be really insightful would be a 'fish room maintenance' where we get to see all the effort that goes into keeping it all healthy.
