Guys chill he could’ve waited then filmed the rest of the video so it’s cycled and what if he was adding some of the water that comes in jugs at the pet store or conditioned water that was token care of out of the tank

sigh ... another torture chamber

Gabriel Collins - 6 years ago

way too small for neon tetras, maybe shrimp or Killy fish, or Chili Rasbora

H Hoveyda - 6 years ago

And the fish start dying as you did not add any chemicals to remove ammonia,chlorine and cholaramine..,nitrates. Unless you`ve forgotten to add it to the video.

Cloclo's Life I worked at the shop that's why I used the water from their, i also used mature filter media from the shop but yes a tank should be cycled. This tank has since been used as a shrimp tank and a beta tank. These fish were returned to the shop after a few weeks as it was just for the purpose of this video. But I agree with your concerns. When I made this video I was still learning about YouTube and making videos and I mist bits of by accident. It wasn't that I didn't take care of the animals. Thanks for the comments :)

Cloclo’s Life - 7 years ago

Also no nitrogen cycle or water conditioner which is very mandatory bc it allows the tank to be fully ready and cycled along with no Chemicals or led or anything that may be in in filtered water with what you did so far the poor fish may die

Cloclo’s Life - 7 years ago

Maybe it would be better just to have like 1 small beta female fish or make that into a shrimp tank I personally think there’s not enough room for those fish when they all get older all 7 will just be to crowded so maybe I would suggest a shrimp tank instead

This is the tank I thinking about to get

I love nano setups! you make this one seem so simple - Ive just subscribed.

Hovnou787 - 7 years ago

Never put the fish store water in your tank, the only fish you can really put in that is a pea puffer, bumblebee goby, and chili ras boras (2 or 3 of one species)

brynsta - 7 years ago

+Hovnou787 I worked at the store at the time so knew what the parameters were

Plus he didn't add dechlorinator

Ryan Dryer - 7 years ago

He didnt even cycle it?

ST0RM - 7 years ago

brynsta I’m on your side I loved the video

brynsta - 7 years ago

+ST0RM if anyone did ask I would have told them it was cycled, the water was from a cycled tank, the tank was then cycled.

ST0RM - 7 years ago

Are you telling or asking

Ryan Dryer - 7 years ago

Pokeman 97 when I was 9 I had a goldfish in a bowl for 5 years and I didn't cycle it either but hopefully your not that young

Pokeman 97 - 7 years ago

Ryan Dryer just cause one of his fish died doesn't mean shit I've never cycled my tanks and all of my fish have grown and been fine the whole time I use rocks from some of my other tanks to give bacteria but you definitely don't have to let the tank set for a week or two maybe if you want a nice planted aquarium but just fish no

Pokeman 97 - 7 years ago

Ryan Dryer ha that's where your wrong I've had my tank set up for 3 years and nothing has happened besides the lesser eating some of my guppies

Ryan Dryer - 7 years ago

Pokeman 97 that can be the case but it's going to cause problems later on

Pokeman 97 - 7 years ago

Ryan Dryer I never cycle my tanks and they always turn out fine I have like 40 guppies 3 algae eaters and a lesser siren

Mr Animaniak - 7 years ago

no neon in nano tank !

Harriet Selleck - 7 years ago

What tank is that?

Kairon gozales - 7 years ago

Lilly McBreezy - 7 years ago

well.. a fish should be added after the tank is fully cycled and stabilized (around 2 weeks after you put the water in) it takes even more in such small tank, i mean compare peeing into a glass of water and into a pool for example, even a bit of nasty stuff in the tank and there are many problems to deal with.
And NEVER add the water from the fish bag, you don`t even know whats in there, and there can be many bacteria or other things causing illness and getting rid of it after they move into the tank is really hard without harming the fish .
Also I think the tank size is good for shrimps and not fish, way too small for keeping healthy thriving fish .
:)

Lilly McBreezy - 7 years ago

doesn`t really matter cause bacteria do not live in the water but in filter media and gravel ect. it needs a surface it can`t just flow in the water.

Crypt Artic - 7 years ago

Lilly McBreezy All the water he used was from the previous tank the fish were in

a good way to kill tetras

Kat M. - 7 years ago

Everyone is saying they didn't use water conditioner. If they were paying attention , you would have seen that before they put the fish in, they showed a close up of the tank. There were tiny little bubbles on the side of the tank. This means water conditioner was used, because that is what happens when it is put into tap.water.

T'naigha Wannamaker - 7 years ago

one lonely cardinal tetra

jorgedaniel2002 - 7 years ago

inaccurate information

Jeremy Flener - 8 years ago

No decholrinator. No nitrogen cycle. Fish will be dead in less than a week. You have to let a new tank set for at least a week. Then add a couple fish. A week later add a couple more. You have to allow good bacteria to grow in the tank to convert the fish waste to harmless chemicals that the fish can tolerate.

Marco Elkes - 6 years ago

Jeremy Flener no such thing as cycled water the bacteria don't live in the water column since they need a surface to live on.

Ryan Wloch - 7 years ago

A week. Wtf. You need like 2 days

Mya Miller-Ahsan So why are you here?

Martin Erhard - 7 years ago

Yes we can....we also kill plants on a daily basis....thats called life. What do you want to eat? Sand?

Mya Miller-Ahsan - 7 years ago

ThatSharksFan__ "fish" fish that we kill on a daily basis because people just think we can. we take animals from the wild and cram them into tiny little cages and tanks just so we can sit there and watch them.

ThatSharksFan__ - 7 years ago

Jeremy Flener Bruh chill it's a fish lol

brynsta - 8 years ago

Jeremy Flener cheers bud that's a fair comment :)

Jeremy Flener - 8 years ago

It is best to use some cycled water as well as plants and scaping material from an established tank. You can add fish right away. I wasn't calling your skills to question, I just see a lot of videos that don't give those sort of details. Just making sure people are aware it isn't this easy.

brynsta - 8 years ago

Jeremy Flener the water was all from the shop the fish came from so no need for water conditioner or decholrinator. the tank had regular water changes during the 6 weeks of cycling. I worked in the shop I got these animals from for 7 years as an aquarist and the worked in a sealife center as part of the animal care team all manor of animals. I'm not doing research at a university on coral mortality. I understand how to keep aquatic animals and understand water chemistry very well. this video was to show people what can be done and what to think of.

Stuff Tv - 8 years ago

7 neons in a nano tank... ok, it doesn't even matter if the filter is oversized that's just wrong! after a year when they grow fatter they won't have space to swim. Cruelty.
That setup is better for Cherry Shrimp, or nano fish.

Djhuddy Psarras 2 gallons isn't even good for a betta. You could but they need 2.5 gallons or more but 5 gallons is mostly recommended

Djhuddy Psarras - 7 years ago

Is a 2 Gallon tank still to small for the fish

Queen of kings - 7 years ago

Stuff Tv ikr

Chapzer - 7 years ago

i agree its not right but im gonna add that neon tetras dont get much larger than that.

THE HOLY BUTTFUNGUS - 7 years ago

Potato Munchies yes their bodies will stop growing but their internal organs won't and there won't be enough space for the organs after awhile

Rada Simion - 7 years ago

I thought I counted 7 swimming in the bag before adding them. :))))))

roup - 7 years ago

Definitely not Goat i fucking hate people who dont realize this, bacteria takes well over a week to grow, so even putting it in a tank for only a week can kill your fish. as long as you have a high plant load and do big frequent water changes your fine.

Goat - 7 years ago

H ANT Studios the fish will die within a week, the tank wasn't cycled or dechlorinated. It's pointless and just killing the fish

roup - 7 years ago

Stuff Tv agreed. but in smaller tank water parameters change drastically. and for cherry red shrimp they are super sensitive to huge changes in water parameters

Doragon - 7 years ago

Hunter Antill what do you mean. Only saying it will kill the fish if the tank is too small.

H ANT Studios - 7 years ago

Lmao, keep freaking out sjw.

Doragon - 7 years ago

Callum Cameron does it matter. In both ways their internals will get scrunched up.

Potato - 7 years ago

Stuff Tv very true

Potato - 7 years ago

Doragon fish are actually different to us even though we did evolve from them

Stuff Tv - 7 years ago

The worst thing is that a new aquarist may follow this ridiculous tutorial...

Doragon - 7 years ago

Callum Cameron let's keep a human in a small box. Won't it grow to the size of the box... see my point.

Potato - 7 years ago

Gbass Tv don't they grow to the size of the tank though??

A local fish store in Birmingham called Angel aquatics, brilliant shop. I used to work there 3 years ago but moved on to work in public aquariums. Still go there now though as there so helpful.

Preston Sanders - 8 years ago

I have a 30 gallon tank how much sand do you think it would take and I have all freshwater fish

Ben Lunn - 6 years ago

It doesn't matter if you use sand or rocks. Use nothing if you want. There's no rule stating you just use rocks for 30 gallon or more.

Cameron Lau - 7 years ago

Preston Sanders naw use sand, I would say depends on how much sand layers. Like 2 inches in height? I have a 40 gal. with guppies and we used like 3 inches of sand since it moves around

Ruthna Begum - 7 years ago

Preston Sanders use rocks for 40l not sand

Preston Sanders - 8 years ago

so for fish like this in the video I could get any sand

brynsta - 8 years ago

yes you can. just be aware that if using coral sand your PH will be slightly higher than most takes and to take care when acclimatising fish, they will be a bit more sensitive. the most important thing of fish keeping is to get your water tested, that way you will know it's ok for fish. most good shops should test water for free.

Preston Sanders - 8 years ago

does it say clean and what kind of sand ?

brynsta - 8 years ago

yes it stays clean just needs a small water change once a week. and for marine you would need coral sand. for tropical you could use anything almost.

Preston Sanders - 8 years ago

is this saltwater ?

brynsta - 8 years ago

unfortunately not its fresh water. it could be salt water though, you would have to use like rock in the tank and filter.
