  • And we're here

  • Okay so the goal here is I'm going to pick up a few supplies that I do need and then I want to take a look

  • at some of the scaping supplies potentially as well as the fish they actually have in stock

  • so you guys can make a better educated decision on what we should put in the tank based on what's actually available.

  • And of course for those not familiar with what I'm talking about, basically, I stripped down a 120 gallon aquarium out of my gallery and

  • one that I simply wasn't happy with and I wanted you guys to decide the stocking as well as

  • the scaping and we go from there

  • So in this video I go to my local fish store and we take a look around see what we can find

  • If we simply can't decide I'll look into ordering some fish, but that'll simply prolong everything

  • Right, and I guess as a full disclaimer

  • I should probably state that while I went in there with a mission

  • When I go into a local fish store or my local fish store

  • at least I get completely sidetracked with what I'm there for and I simply just start looking around and

  • It just becomes a trip to the fish store and that's kind of sort of what this ended up being but

  • Let you guys watch

  • Do you have the salt that I use?

  • Woman: Uh do you use the... Joey: Buckets

  • Woman: Oh the buckets, yep

  • Joey: where they at?

  • Woman: Um look in the closet

  • Joey: In the closet? that's the Coral Pro

  • That's all coral pro I use the Red Sea just a regular sea salt

  • Well, here's one

  • This will make 200 gallons. Yeah, I'll get a bag of that Bruce can get a water change. I named, uh, I named the, uh

  • the lion fish.

  • Woman: oh did you what's his name?

  • Joey: Bruce

  • Woman: aw cute

  • Joey: after Batman

  • Woman: of course

  • He definitely looks like a Batman

  • Joey: I need frozen foods too

  • You know what I like? I really like feeding?

  • It's for saltwater fish, but I feed it to all my freshwater fish all of this reef frenzy stuff

  • My fish love that stuff. Oh

  • Uh oh

  • I think I know what you guys might want me to get

  • All right

  • So we got the salt and some frozen foods, even though I sometimes make my own frozen foods

  • it's sometimes nice just to have it available and ready to rock and roll so I can move on to other things but

  • oh got the tanks here

  • 40 breeders

  • One two three four

  • One of the things I was thinking of doing is

  • I want to build some really simple sumps and run this the racks with them

  • because we've been kind of we've we've used the

  • We've used the custom aquarium sumps for quite a while and I kind of want to start mixing things up for you guys

  • Just because it's just gonna get very monotonous for you guys to see the same things over and over again

  • And I would love to be able to

  • Show you some ultimate things that you can do see which ones work better, etc. Let me know what you think of that

  • Every time I see empty tanks, I'm like I need it. I need it. I don't know why I need it. I need it

  • Hey, let's take a look at some cool fish. What do you got for a cool fish?

  • Woman: Oh I got tons

  • Joey: Got tons? there's some saltwater stuff I better stay away from this for now

  • Yeah, let me see what you got for tank needs for Bruce

  • The proofs ease up raw, but that's not bad, huh?

  • Is this a Marine Goby a Marine betta is that what those are called typically? Yeah

  • Woman: A marine betta, it's in the family of groupers I believe

  • Joey: Cool that's a predator, isn't it? Woman: It is yes Joey: I really like that Woman: Although very shy

  • Joey: How big do they get?

  • Woman: Uh... I think they get something around eight inches but don't quote me on that

  • Joey: Hmm

  • We're not here for that we're not here for that

  • Is this a trigger

  • Yes, very nice

  • Another predator. Yeah? they get along with the lionfish?

  • Woman: I think they get along?

  • Yeah

  • Very nippy sounds familiar

  • Could eat these guys... yellow tangs

  • I'm not well-versed with all saltwater fish, but I'm pretty familiar with them. It's easier to say is that a...? than assuming what it is

  • Lobsters

  • Alright many of you guys many many many many many of you want me to get Oscars for 120 so

  • There's a pretty big one in here classic tiger

  • Let me be clear there's actually a couple of these guys here

  • Let's see who likes me more. Do you like me there? Mr. Mopey pants. I like your colors

  • Wanna come home sometime

  • Aw I wonder if he's like a rescue or something

  • Touch him, he don't like me not coming home the fish have to connect with me on a spiritual level in order to come home with me

  • Oh frontosa

  • I should probably also mention a few of the options. You guys have given me now there was over

  • 15,000 comments when I asked for suggestions, and there's no real possible way for me to go through all of them

  • It's I didn't expect that and I was when it started happening and all the comma started flowing

  • I was like, how am I going to categorize all this and kind of narrow it down?

  • But I kept seeing a lot of comments on why don't you go out and catch

  • Local fish and keep them to put that simple in my province of Nova Scotia

  • That's illegal. I can't do that. So that's completely off the table. Don't even consider it. There's another one

  • Kinda like this guy too - maybe it's just under better lighting. What'd you guys think wonder if he's friendly, huh?

  • You want to be my friend don't you want to be friends

  • I don't know you're doing better than the other guy

  • A little bit damage to his to his anal fin there

  • Look at these barbs. These are filament barbs. These are actually really cool

  • Some big silver dollars, these are actually pretty good size

  • Some ornate bichirs

  • Like Stein some red Hook's

  • Silver dollars there is a discus tank here. There's some smaller discus. We already have discus

  • Marble red there's some Cobalts pigeon bloods nice

  • These frontosa are really nice

  • Hmm I already have a couple African tanks Oh

  • Giant Gourami I kind of want you because you're the normal color

  • Another one

  • These guys get massive

  • See what else here then we've got community fish so essentially very much a little bit of everything

  • Some gouramis

  • See what's in here, what's in Tetras

  • Embers ember tetras yeah

  • - what else obviously we're not gonna be able to show every tank, but you kind of get the idea. I don't know guys

  • Zebra Danios. Zebra danios was one of my first fish. I'm kind of leaning towards those Oscars to be honest with you

  • I don't know, I think somebody would buy them before I get them, especially when this video comes out

  • Tin foil barbs. Ooh

  • These guys get pretty big actually a really good community fish for monsters. Not that aggressive in terms of like what they'd be in with

  • They're the ones without the stripes

  • Ones with the stripes are sharks, roselines

  • Super-expensive when they first kinda hit the hobby

  • roselines

  • Tinfoils get really big though. Look at all the clown loaches, big ones too... I got a tank of them already

  • Scissor tails

  • Guppies, plecos

  • What else we got here

  • Think that's a hill stream loach in the back

  • See that?

  • That's cool, isn't it? It's like it's dorsal and anal fins

  • No, I think its pectoral fins and anal fins were have adapted to be able to suck on to rocks and surfaces because they come

  • from

  • Hill streams, they don't want to get blown away

  • All right

  • Oh what's this?

  • Spiny eel. Man, I get asked to keep eels constantly

  • Yay or nay?

  • Oh axolotls these have the glowing gene, they've been genetically modified

  • Turn on a blacklight which is off right now wonder if I can turn it on?

  • Can I turn it on? I don't know how to turn it on

  • But they'll glow

  • Axolotls something else you guys ask me to keep constantly. You've got the basics really the normal colors and the glowing genes

  • Quite a few of them. Oh fish

  • Koi

  • butterfly koi

  • Pond season's kind of over here oh more saltwater fish gotta stay away from these guys because we're not doing saltwater

  • That entire rack is like 120 or 75 so all saltwater

  • What are these kenyis those are some more Africans. Oh, you know what I see up here?

  • Some redhead tapajo

  • Tropheus... these black angels are pretty cool they'd contrast with my, my Platinums... parrot fish

  • Oh! Another oscar

  • So he looks like he had an injury on his tail fin

  • a long time ago and it healed but

  • it kind of healed incorrectly

  • but isn't he pretty

  • I think I like the Tigers too... black tang oh

  • Very nice.What do we got here... some acaras.

  • I used to keep these guys, severums, these are the gold severums red spots

  • peacocks blennies

  • These guys are gonna get pretty awesome looking they're gonna end up being black massive fish will be jet black with white dots

  • I think we've got more Africans and stuff. We've kind of seen that

  • I'll be honest. I'm kind of leaning towards the Oscar an Oscar tank

  • One of the first fish I've ever kept

  • So there's two tanks here really liking these ones poking out

  • Potted plants really nice

  • Some of the scaping supplies here

  • lots of

  • substrates

  • a little bit of wood selection. I probably have oh I do have a lot more than that, but it's pretty cool. Lots of rocks.

  • I use this in the saltwater tank and I set up that planted tank with this Dragonstone

  • Nice stuff

  • Nice little selection

  • They have this stuff. This is impossible to find sometimes

  • It's like caribsea branches

  • life rock

  • Huh

  • More substrate

  • Alright guys, I'm gonna get my salt my food

  • I'm gonna get out of here, but based on what we've seen. What do you think?

  • What do you guys think we should do I'm gonna be honest. I'm kind of leaning towards the Oscars, but it's up to you

  • Well one Oscar not two

  • Let me know in the comment section below

  • Yeah another

  • Suggestion you guys were giving me is do a big puffer fish and I was thinking maybe I could do a fahaka puffer

  • Many many many of you want me to do Oscars? I think a lot of you are are

  • Revolving around a big pet fish like Frank or Bruce for example, and I'm okay with that

  • But again, let me know what you think

  • I'm gonna continue to keep an eye on the comments and I think it's looking like we might have to order

  • Some fish in which isn't a big deal

  • Anyways again, this is your tank. So

  • Let it evolve as such and I think when we do set it up, maybe we'll do it live. I don't know

  • Let me know some suggestions. You know what I really need from you guys. How are we going to actually figure out

  • what we're going to stock with so many

  • suggestions

  • How how are we gonna set it up? How would you do it? Let me know in the comment section below

And we're here
