Will be counting down the hopeful days for noise ;-)

Rachel O'leary - 6 years ago

i hope to go back up again at some point in a few months. I am sure if we are doing something public- we will make some noise :)

Not sure if it's been said already, but something to help you justify changing your fish room around is that the display tanks wouldn't be (just) for your own personal enjoyment, but rather they are for marketing/advertising.

vince abbley - 6 years ago

some of the Danios make great dithers, would fit in a 5 gallon too.

vince abbley - 6 years ago

Sharon Bendtsen - 6 years ago

If i could throw in my 2cents. I like the aqua girl shirts just the way they are

A Gamer's Wife - 6 years ago

Super excited to see what you'll do with all those personal tanks! With all your experience and exposure to different species, I'm sure they'll be very unique and special to you.

Jdog 2003 - 6 years ago

Do you have any guppies? I want to get into breeding fish and I figured that guppies would be the best to start out with! Also I love your content, keep up the good work!

Hope you can do a video of safe rocks to put in an aquarium. I've gathered rocks along the Minnesota north shore Lake Superior and not sure what kind I have.I think have a Basalt type??/

CrazyNWildBaby - 6 years ago

Hoping you see this... Mikey from AntsCanada has set up a paludarium for a weaver ant colony. He has a few types of shrimps in the water portion. What would be a good Asian nano fish that is would like to eat insects but not eat the shrimp? Maybe you can check out his new video to see exactly what I am talking about. Would love to have an expert opinion so he could have the best chance of success as it is the first time attempting this kind of setup for ants.

Rachel O'leary - 6 years ago

Nate Lincoln - 6 years ago

Would u really want to put quarantine tanks over display? What about water dripping? Cross contamination?

Rachel O'leary - 6 years ago

in an ideal world no but generally what i do is put fish in QT in low tanks then move them around as they are clear. I would only have displays in a portion of the fish room.

daddyofsandd - 6 years ago

Hey Rachel , Sorry I missed the live stream with you yesterday , but I have a huge question maybe that you can help with .. I am getting a 30 gallon aquarium from my brother because he can't keep it moving to his new place , my problem is that I live 3 hours away from him and its stocked full of live bears and such .. Whats a good way for me to be able to transport the fish and snails til i can get them back to my home and start setting back up the aquarium .. I thought about just moving the over in a 5 gallon bucket pr something and just draining the water level down to be able to move the aquarium in tack so all that i have to do is refill it when i get bk home .. Also it has a hang on the back filter as well as a canister filter .. is there a way to keep the bacteria alive in the canister filter so that when i do get it all bk here and set up that it doesnt go through a new tank syndrome ...? I know i rambled lol but hopefully you understand what i'm trying to ask and Thanks a lot in advance for you time and advice ... Love your live streams and vids keep up the great work ..

Janice Stp - 6 years ago

Jacey Darling - 6 years ago

Those Rainbow Shiners are stunning, are they a species that ever end up on your for sale list? I've heard very little about their breeding habits other than they scatter eggs on the substrate, do you have any more detailed info?

Rachel, there's something I've been wondering for a while now. I know you got into YouTubing because Joey encouraged you, and I love the content you put out and all the experience and knowledge you share with us. However, I wonder if you actually enjoy doing it. Do you like connecting with your community of viewers, and is it a rewarding experience? You seem to be so busy all the time, I wonder how you handle it all without becoming too stressed. In any case, I hope you find the experience rewarding and that it has helped you grow your hobby and business. Sending happy thoughts and love from Ohio!

sedriensmorgasbord - 6 years ago

Rachel O'leary I'm so glad to hear that! It makes me enjoy the videos even more knowing that it's not a total drag for you. Thanks as always for the great content!

Rachel O'leary - 6 years ago

+sedriensmorgasbord I absolutely love it or I honestly would have quit by now. The community totally makes it

Hi Rachel, I have my cycled 75, heavy planted, scaped tank. I put 3 pair of GB Rams in two weeks ago from my local fish store. They are so fun to watch....super cute! My temp is 81-82, ph 6.4. Right now, nitrates are 5.0 ppm. My question is....at what ppm on Nitrates should I change water and at what percentage amount. Also is it cool to add black neons with them? I love their directional swimming you’re showing. Thanks for any help. Love all your videos

Debbie Swan - 6 years ago

Also do you have access to Giant Bettas?

Debbie Swan - 6 years ago

If your daughter has competition in SC and you have opportunity to do meet and greet without taking g away from her, please announce it, would love to meet you but not interrupt your family time.

Jeremy Sims - 6 years ago

i would love to see you in time build an outside building for your retail, and them use the basement to expand your personal fish, and give you the space to try a few other interesting things

for one I'd love to see (for example) a large central square tank, like 500 gallon or something, but with nano fish, and different habitats within the same tank, (i think you'd really enjoy that, and it would make some interesting spotlights for sure)
and just the stuff you could do, it would be inspiring and insightful

I am not clear on the lineage of the orange laser corydoras. Are they line-bred corydoras Aeneas or are they a distinct species? If the Aeneas and orange were kept together, would they hybridize?

Chrissy Polans - 6 years ago

Are you speaking near Rutgers? I lived in that area for about 10 years and I'm just 30 mins south now. :) oh Court Tavern is great for music and drinks.

Rachel O'leary - 6 years ago

+Chrissy Polans no. My daughter has a dive competition at Rutgers

Chrissy Polans - 6 years ago

Congrats to you and hubby on his promotion! Looking fwd to the Fishgirl shirt! (you could poll us for ideas? *shrug*) FOOD = oooh RUTGERS restaurants!! Go to Old Man Raffertys for all kinds of great food and dessert, and the Court Tavern on Rt 27 just over in Highland Park!

Carla Pappalardo - 6 years ago

Well, I like the idea of the new rack so you have more tanks and since you do water changes every day anyway, 15s sound like they'd be fine. And I like the idea of having some display tanks. But if you do all those on the right AND those large ones on the left, I would think it would take tooo much of the bzness tanks away. Can you get away with either only the large ones on the left OR the tiered ones on the right? [fascinating about the color change on the green neons]

Upside town Downtown - 6 years ago

ordinary cooked ground beef would be interesting fish food. It's cooked,flavored and breaks into small pellet size. The rooms light reflections, small project to film fish. Dont change the layout of tanks if this gets boring. Start exercising and yoga

Upside town Downtown - 6 years ago

Technically the over views. A large plywood pond for the gars and big fish. Use that tank, as another big nano tank. Haha funny Joey bday stream.
