So the only thing "wrong" about glofish are their very vivid colors which are "unnatural" to so called purists. Even though so many fish we buy these days have been bred to look a certain way like many deformed goldfish or the dwarf/balloon versions of some fish. Personally, I like the vivid hues of glofish and don't care fish that are dull colored like grey or brown or some other forgettable color. If glofish are unethical then so is harvesting fish from the wild and inbreeding fish for desired aesthetic traits.

So glad to see Discus on the list, they're very underrated in regards to "worst community fish" They aren't really aggressive like most fish you'd find on this sort of list, but discus are a species where you need to have every aspect of their tank tailored to their needs, including tank mates should you even decide to give them any, whereas the whole point of a good community fish is you can basically just dump it in with whatever and they'll do just fine

This is a great list, and the fish choices make a lot of sense. If you were to make a third list, I would recommend putting black fin tetras on it because, in many pet stores, they are labeled as peaceful, but in reality, they are semi-aggressive. I made this mistake when I had some in the same tank as my bristle-nose pleco. They nipped at my pleco so much that after I moved the tetras to another tank, my pleco didn’t want to swim around the tank for months.

Nice vid, i got serpae tetras with gymnocorymbus ternetzi (not the glow ones) and they don't bother each other at all. The only thing i don't get is that the first 4 ternetzi that were alone in the tank have often their fins ruined, probably they are bullied by the other 4 i added after, but it doesn't seem so when i look at their behavour and the new ones have perfect fins, so they are not bullied back (as i expected considering that the original 4 were the only fish in the tank for a long time)

@@Fishman2114 I have a group of 8 buoerno aires tetra in my 65 gallon tank with rummynose tetras, corydoras and twig catfish (farlowella acus). Everything is going fine. They have their aggrasion within their group but they only chase each other for a couple inches and mostly the females are the ones doing it. But I would not say harmfull aggrasion rather just more of a dominanz/picking order establishment. The males are alot more timid. And they do eat freshly planted plants but they ignore it after 2-3 days. Super fun fish when you feed them. They get small plant seed and some plant based flakes for their more herbivores needs from besides regular pellets and frosted artemias/daphnia.

Why are skunk loaches even available, like, at ALL…? 🤔 I don’t believe they’re commonly or easily bred in captivity, or are they? I had assumed that they’re a primarily wild-caught (poached?) species. But… they just have such boring, lackluster colors, something that does NOT make up for their bad attitudes. A double NO! Haha. I tried having a small group in a mixed, but lightly stocked, 75-gal. tank, why i don’t know. I think I had snails at the time and wanted to see if they’d really take care of it. I didn’t know enough about things like assassin snails, or making a plastic water bottle trap for them… but ultimately, I had to move the skunks to their OWN tank. And they’re not even that pretty, as I said! 😂 Imagine, their own little setup, all because of…their attitudes! Not because they’re pretty to look at, as the centerpiece fish in a species-only tank. They have cool behaviors, but so do all botias. There should be less focus and less time wasted on catching skunk botias, and let’s focus on other, more pretty and better behaved species, that might be uncommon in the hobby. Zebra and dwarf chain loaches seem to be the most desirable, but also limited availability...meanwhile skunk loaches are $2.99 and not exactly selling out…

@@formula_bob No, you’re thinking of “painted fish”, which are in fact legal in the United Kingdom after laws banning their sale failed to be passed. Glofish are genetically modified with a gene that gives them their neon colors and glow. I myself bought a about half a dozen from someone on Craigslist two years ago after he decided to dismantle his fish tank (which I later found out was a 20 gallon tank with over 20 fish in it). I keep them with a white, black, and a gold skirt tetra, and three coreys in a severely under stocked 55 gallon. They’ve had a good quality of life and are really massive now. But I would never personally buy them from a pet store. Not only are they stupidly expensive for a recolored Black Skirt Tetra. The whole company behind them always skeeved me out.

Well covered. Although a list you'd only need to bring out swipe at the daring and foolhardy, to save the younglin's from their craziness. Have had local yabbies here, the correctly named Cherax Destructor. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_yabbytitle=Cherax_destructor&redirect=no Primarily nocturnal, sure. Detritivore, um, it's detritus if they killed it or uprooted it, right? Sure. You like your plant there? No, it's here. Feel privileged, that it's not floating over there like other one. This fish, shrugs, dead when i got here. Bought a pregnant one by accident once. Babies everywhere. Scattered across 14 tanks to see if they could live with anything else. Pretty much no. Either eaten, or committing daily acts of terror on their poor tank mates. Otherwise, Koi, Discus, any Barb, and the chasey tetras, yeah "all end of the first act" fish. The tank will never be the same.
