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
