The CLEANEST Fish Store I’ve Ever Seen [Tour] Girl Talks Fish 2022-12-03 | I’m lucky to live in a state with tons of local fish stores, so I wanted to show you one of the cleanest, most professional fish stores I’ve ever visited — The Fish Crew. They’re located in Fort Collins, Colorado, which is the northernmost major city in the state, so I don’t get to visit them very often, but it’s totally worth the trip. Since The Fish Crew was started by a group of friends who used to manage another pet store, they have the experience to combine the modern look of a mainstream pet store with the quirkiness and charm of a mom-and-pop store. Huge thanks to Emma from The Fish Crew for allowing me to interview her and to my editor Matt for using some of his precious vacation time to film this tour!🐟 THE FISH CREW ▶ Website: fishcrew.com▶ Facebook: facebook.com/thefishcrewstore▶ Instagram: instagram.com/the_fish_crew▶ TikTok: tiktok.com/@thefishcrew🦐 EXTRAS▶ Members Only content: youtube.com/channel/UCNoNEF64ijgxK6OSTwdHOFA/join▶ Instagram: instagram.com/girltalksfish▶ Merch store: girltalksfish.creator-spring.com🌿 EDITOR: Matt Gray at http://www.grayfamilyfilms.com and instagram.com/mentalityfilms ATTRIBUTIONMusic from Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com/referral/2earpi (if you use my referral link, I get 1 month free 😀)Music from Sound Stripe:- FINE LINES, SPARKS, 7WF6YTGLAD5IIETT- CATS AND DOGS LIVING TOGETHER, DRESDEN, THE FLAMINGO, 8MD5H3GFMVUVEY37- THE OPTIMIST, EILOH, EYJOTK1XILB91WI9- TWENNYSOMETHING, Daniele Musto, LCLDZJRHILW8MTLI- BREATH, VAULTZ, LX51GFU8JT3IT3GL#girltalksfish #fishstore #fishstoretour

How I Acclimate My New Fish in 45 Minutes Girl Talks Fish 2022-11-19 | Normally I use the plop-and-drop method to add new fish to an aquarium, but since I ordered fish from a wholesaler for the first time, I decided to follow the company’s directions. Basically, the acclimation process helps the fish to get used to my tap water, which may be totally different from the bag water they were shipped in.🐟 MATERIALS I USED(I work for Aquarium Co-Op but do not receive commissions from their links.)▶ Fish net: aquariumcoop.com/products/aquarium-co-op-fish-net▶ Catch cup: aquariumcoop.com/products/aquarium-co-op-catch-cup▶ Trio of quarantine medications: aquariumcoop.com/blogs/faqs/how-to-use-quaratine-med-trio🦐 EXTRAS▶ Members Only content: youtube.com/channel/UCNoNEF64ijgxK6OSTwdHOFA/join▶ Instagram: instagram.com/girltalksfish▶ Merch store: girltalksfish.creator-spring.comEDITOR: Angela Guererro at angelaguererro.comATTRIBUTIONMusic from Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com/referral/2earpi (if you use my referral link, I get 1 month free 😀)#shorts #nanofish #aquariumfish

Top 5 Floating Plants to Get Rid of Algae in Your Aquarium Girl Talks Fish 2022-11-05 | One of my main secrets for getting rid of algae is floating plants. They suck up excess nutrients, block out excess light, and the fish love the extra cover! But they also easily grow out of control and can lower the oxygen levels in the water. So, here’s my honest review on 5 floating plants I’ve kept and which one is my favorite.🐟 MATERIALS I USED(I work for Aquarium Co-Op but don't receive any commissions from their links.)▶ Aquarigram floating plants (free of duckweed and snails): etsy.com/shop/Aquarigram▶ Floating plant corrals: etsy.com/shop/SurrealAqua▶️ Airline tubing suction cup holders: aquariumcoop.com/products/airline-holder🌿 RESOURCES▶ Frogbit care guide: youtu.be/RQKh4KURR0w▶ Red root floater care guide: youtu.be/a4Haxh8qXLg▶ How I Keep My Plants from Floating Away: youtu.be/L9ZSU-GwJKk🦐 EXTRAS▶ Members Only content: youtube.com/channel/UCNoNEF64ijgxK6OSTwdHOFA/join▶ Instagram: instagram.com/girltalksfish▶ Merch store: girltalksfish.creator-spring.comEDITOR: Matt Gray at http://www.grayfamilyfilms.com and instagram.com/mentalityfilms ATTRIBUTIONMusic from Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com/referral/2earpi (if you use my referral link, I get 1 month free 😀)Music from SoundStripe:- Hello, And Good Morning by Liberty, EGWXYXMJVQADVWCO- Better Sweater by Desert Dive, D84DUDRASF1CAM9J- By The Wayside by Reveille, MFMCCGCX2SNKWE8I#girltalksfish #plantedtank #plantedaquarium0:00 The magic of floating plants0:37 Floating plant 11:40 Floating plant 23:08 Floating plant 34:17 Floating plant 45:34 Floating plant 5
