Francine is so OBSESSED with Frank. From this video and the one when Frank broke loose, she just follows him around everywhere and bumps into him! Love is in the air (water).
You outdid yourself with the angel and discus tanks. I love the contrast of colours with the white fish and their deep coloured background and then the red fish with their background. I then love the contrast between the white fish being above the red fish. Both tanks are stunning. I stand by a comment I’ve left before that adding some green in the discus tank would be stunning
Try to turn of that wavemaker in asian tank. Gouramis usually hate strong current as they are not built to fight it like other fish. They come from swamp areas and lakes. Thats why they picked the place where current is the lowest.
I salute you for having all these aquariums and for taking good care of these fish. This must take you hours to keep these aquariums clean and crystal clear water.
I think i speak for all of us when I say its great to see you happy and doing so well even with the basement flooding, you have bounced back. keep it up doood
Hey big guy, I like your site; just found it. I was fisheries biologist scientist for 30+ years; I never get tired of it. Looking at all your ideas, here is another idea you may not have already considered. When we did a fisheries study we always picked numerous stations. A great place for a typical station was the bend of a river as there are numerous habitat niches. Outside bend w/high current some w/wood over cobble substrate with maybe an island splitting the river. The inside bend w/slower current w/gravel and lots of wood. The tail end of the bend and island with areas of slack current over silt and lower end of island consisting of shifting sand and gravel. An area like this might have over 50 species of fish with many found no other place except for these specific niche type. How about duplicating these habitat strata in each tank w/species found in those areas. This same idea can also be repeated with different river systems or even native fishes here in the good old U.S.A. What goes on at this this station is absolutely dramatic as the spawning season approaches. As the different species spawn the larvae are swept downriver and repopulate lower river stretches. Some don't travel far but some may drift downriver for many many miles. This helps educate the aquarist to more critically analyze an aquarium design to mimic where they actually came from. I also would like to see a video on designing a fish room, lights, ceiling fans furniture etc.; I don't see much on this subject. Just my thoughts. Keep it up. Edlite
Ive gone through and watched 90% of your videos already! I will one day have a mini house like this. one day if my partner lets me haha ! 1 tank with Green Terrors is enough for now! Cant wait to start growing the collection again!
The one thing I have to point out man is that you have twice as many tanks as most fish hobbyists I have seen, but yours are so crystal clear as far as water and glass that it is actually insane, especially since every tank has wood or plants in it. Keep it up.
on your saltwater tank you need to do coral , but do it from start to finish , with some small fish in there, this will show how to do it correctly, adding additives to water and testing , theres is a lot of people that want to do saltwater coral tank but do not know how , start with easy mushrooms and then do lps/ sps coral .
I love going back and watching your old videos. The gallery has progressed so much over the years, however the current setup you have looks to be at a more “finished” state. Can’t wait to see what happens with the new building!
Joey, that 2000g is looking fantastic with all the new plants! The bass are getting big as well! Thanks for the update on everything. Let's see that hand feeding soon!
I am in awe of how nicely your tanks are all decorated in such a species specific manner. Your variety of fish is wonderful. Thank you for sharing your room with us.
Joey, you are an inspiration to me and my family. I was big into the hobby in my teenage years, (I bred Oscars and kept 10+ aquariums at my peak but after that life took over and 20 years later, me, my wife and our five children all watch your videos and we are all getting back into the hobby which I owe to you. 6 Months ago we had 1 tank, now we have 3 tanks, a 100 gallon and 2 46 gallon bow front aquariums and plans for upgrading to something MUCH MUCH LARGER! I really forgot how much I enjoyed just sitting there and watching my fish. It is very peaceful and relaxing, We just picked up a baby silver Arowana to go with 2 baby Oscars in one tank. In another tank we have an Albino Pacu Piranha w/ a turtle and our other tank is a large Red Eared Slider my son has had for many years. We are gonna document their life here on UA-cam and I can't wait to see them grow and how their personalities develop. It has brought me and my family closer together. One last thing. Any advice you can give a new Arowana owner?? Any advice you can give is very much appreciated. Thank you Joey.
Frank, Frank, Frank! I love Frank and Francine is growing on me. I like how she has control. Favorite tank, then the Angelfish tank. They're all nice tho.
your passion for fish and tanks is pretty contagious. Love the way u decorate w awesome ideas for these tanks. i am so excited now to get back in the game again👍🏽
Wow that is incredible. I have been here since the beginning of the build. It’s finished!! I know that is an awesome feeling. It looks absolutely stunning.
I'm super excited you're getting goldfish! I have 5 fancy goldfish, they're my favorite =) I definitely do that thing where I think mine are the best ever, even the super clueless derpy ones. I'd love to see an in-depth video about your filtration room.
I absolutely relate to your enthusiasm for aquariums. Glad to know there are others out there too! Can’t believe I missed this video. Been following for years. You’re amazing!!!
Just found your channel. Words cannot describe how absolutely incredible your setups and tanks are!!! I have never seen tanks so exquisitely decorated. The combinations of fish, substrate, plants, wood, rocks are like...art.....as if they are as close to a window to nature as you can get. Congratulations....your attention to detail, your taste in assembling and combining is akin to a work of Michelangelo. Your room should be a public exhibit!. My favourite tank is the one not yet fully developed or grown....the Peacock Bass one. When they will be mature, with a few tank mates......it will be a sight to behold! The Arowana tank is just amazing, textbook health and perfectly stocked. You should be an ambassador to the hobby.
I love how much color the arowana have now! It's my 2nd fave tank of yours, I think I prefer the pearl gourami/rasbora tank the most. Hmm..and the lionfish!
You are so talented. You sure found your passion, you are in your glee I that room. lol Sweetie. The fish are beautiful and the tanks are amazing. Love the way you've decorated.
Truly an absolutely outstanding ambassador for the aquarium community. I hold a lot of respect for his passion and how he gets people excited and inspired about fish.
Running and gunning is your style. THis is your best video in a long time. Malawi over the tang. Angels over the Discus. I love the idea of the most difficult tank over the perceived most easy goldfish. Keep up the good work and Custom Aquariums rock
Love the Discus tank. Just the background and the "roots" coming down. It looks amazing. Like the Asian tank as well even if it wasn't as active as you would have liked. The rays though, they are my favorite. I'd love to have the room to have a tank big enough for rays.
hello king of diy! I am 10 yrs old and have been watching your videos for the past 6 months and i absolutely love them. KEEP POSTING MORE VIDEOS BECAUSE YOU ARE TEACHING A LOT TO ME!
Fell in love with your platinum angels tank when you first set it up, had to hunt to find some for myself. So now I have multiple tank syndrome! Lol. So love your videos.❤️
I loved the goldfish tank you had in your basement, would love to see something like that again. Are you going to get some of the goldfish back that you gave to your friend to hold for you?
This is just insane man,you have more variety,design and creativity than most aquarium shops out there....Man u are the legit KING OF DIY World wide! Amazing!!!!!
I love your enthusiasm for aquarium design and the fish that live in them. I never thought I’d find another human being who has a fascination for this world of beauty like I do! Haha!
I love the energy u got it's awesome I have ADHD really bad and some days at work well at least a few times a week at work I'm so hyper I just can't stand still and i'm just bouncing off the walls I'm 40 years old and this newer generations of kids growing up just don't have the same hype that we have in life what ever u are doing in life just keep doing it I like all of you're videos and the energy u have makes u one of the few people that are truly amazing about what u do and who cares what others think because no matter what some one will always have something bad to say but just keep doing this Joey u are awesome at it and I look forward to you're videos all the time I'm trying to get my fish room going I only have 2 tanks up and going but I have 8 tanks total I need to get up and going it takes time and u inspired me to keep going in life thank you for the video
I like the goldfish Vs salt idea, especially if you get some really nice high quality goldfish like Jenny from solid gold has, goldfish are definitely underrated and if you want a fish with heaps of personality then they are a good choice for sure
One of my favourites, other than the clown loaches, who are awesome, are upsidedown catfish. I had them when I had a tank many years ago. We got them as tiny babies and they quickly grew huge and were wonderful! So much character and swam upsidedown, on purpose. Highly recommend them!!!
I love the discus tank! I had discus myself, they had babies and everything, so cool! Unfortunately I ended up giving it all away do to lack of time.. The good news however is the fact that they’re right next door since I gave them to my neighbor who also had/has discus and they integrated very well with his, so I still get to see them! 🐠🐠💕
Glade to see you have a family life and keep them first bro. For my opinion I like that you have positive videos about products you believe in. Can't wait to see what the 4 part videos are.
Francine is so OBSESSED with Frank. From this video and the one when Frank broke loose, she just follows him around everywhere and bumps into him! Love is in the air (water).
So jelly of the new kitchen. Also can't believe how much size all the fish have put on! Everyone looks great!
Rachel O'leary u couldn't of but that better love your species spotlights aswell
Every fish is his favorite and every tank is his favorite he has so much love and passion
You should set up 24 hour gallery cameras in your aquariums
Frank is iconic, to be honest
They thought he was ugly but look at him living his best life with his cute girlfriend
Your gallery is beautiful
Diamond tetras with the angels! Would keep that sort of sparkly platinum theme and they are a cares fish that will breed
Just watched your backstory and I have so much more love and respect for you
*at every single tank* “this is one of my favorite tanks”
thats nice isnt it
And the funny thing is he means it in that moment every time.
the body of the discs is not formed in rivers with strong currents@@alucardnolifeking789
Trueeee haha
You outdid yourself with the angel and discus tanks. I love the contrast of colours with the white fish and their deep coloured background and then the red fish with their background. I then love the contrast between the white fish being above the red fish. Both tanks are stunning. I stand by a comment I’ve left before that adding some green in the discus tank would be stunning
Joey's going in the house to lay some wood🤣🤣🤣
Just curious, what’s your monthly energy bill to operate your tanks?
This really is the best version of the gallery. I understand the changes for content...but this was my favorite version.
I love the goldfish/saltwater idea!! Can't wait to see species breakdowns. I must say Joey, you make educational videos fun.
Try to turn of that wavemaker in asian tank. Gouramis usually hate strong current as they are not built to fight it like other fish. They come from swamp areas and lakes. Thats why they picked the place where current is the lowest.
What is your electricity bill like?
I salute you for having all these aquariums and for taking good care of these fish. This must take you hours to keep these aquariums clean and crystal clear water.
I think i speak for all of us when I say its great to see you happy and doing so well even with the basement flooding, you have bounced back.
keep it up doood
The 2000👌🏽 you have such a great eye for creating tanks, such a sweet fish room
THIS IS THE GREATEST VERSION OF THE AQUARIUM GALLERY

I’m a cichlids guy but I love all your tanks 👍🏼👍🏼
Ive gone through and watched 90% of your videos already!
I will one day have a mini house like this. one day if my partner lets me haha !
1 tank with Green Terrors is enough for now!
Cant wait to start growing the collection again!
Wow.... If I had 5 minutes of that much enthusiasm and energy on any subject, I would explode. You really found your calling.
The one thing I have to point out man is that you have twice as many tanks as most fish hobbyists I have seen, but yours are so crystal clear as far as water and glass that it is actually insane, especially since every tank has wood or plants in it. Keep it up.
I cant choose joey. Its like a kid in a candy shop saying pick one. Lol I love them all.
on your saltwater tank you need to do coral , but do it from start to finish , with some small fish in there, this will show how to do it correctly, adding additives to water and testing , theres is a lot of people that want to do saltwater coral tank but do not know how , start with easy mushrooms and then do lps/ sps coral .

Thank you so much for sharing all of your babies with us! Seriously, greatly appreciated by all of your viewers and subscribers!!
I like how every tank is one of ur favs

You truly have the nicest fish room I ever saw! Hat off to you man.
your passion for fish and tanks is pretty contagious. Love the way u decorate w awesome ideas for these tanks. i am so excited now to get back in the game again👍🏽
Your enthusiasm inspires me to get back in the hobby. When I started in the hobby we had chrome metal framed tanks. Thanks for a great video.
Run Gary Run Joey wants to move the saltwater tank to the basement!! RUN!!🤣🤣🤣👍🐶🌿🍃
I think you should put black neon tetra in the angelfish tank. great video
I like black neons as well.
I remember when the fish gallery was just an idea. Now it's looking amazing. Great job joey!!
Wow that is incredible. I have been here since the beginning of the build. It’s finished!! I know that is an awesome feeling. It looks absolutely stunning.
I think the black emperor tetras would make a great contrast in the angel tank.
I think black neon Tetras will go well in the Angel tank because the black will contrast well with the platinum Angels
His passion is infectious!
I'm super excited you're getting goldfish! I have 5 fancy goldfish, they're my favorite =) I definitely do that thing where I think mine are the best ever, even the super clueless derpy ones. I'd love to see an in-depth video about your filtration room.

Those Arowana are looking stunning in the last few videos.

Joey you should get or build a jelly fish tank.
Wild
This is a great video because the variety of tanks gives me aquascape ideas for my own tank, which I want to do on a budget.
You are so talented. You sure found your passion, you are in your glee I that room. lol Sweetie. The fish are beautiful and the tanks are amazing. Love the way you've decorated.
I'm so excited for the goldfish! Please get fancy goldfish!!!!!
Yes! Like Jenny gets!
You should get Black Skirt Tetras for the City of Angels aquarium. It'll give a nice contrast in my opinion
I was thinking the same thing! They also have a similar shape to the angels, which would look nice~
What a pleasure to see someone so passionate about something, and the tank designs are stunning
Oh man!!! you have magnificent creatures out there.. Ahhh such a relaxing place. 😍😍😍😍
Damn, i really love this channel. Been watching for literally a day and i've watched all of the last 3 month's videos.
can't wait for the goldfish tank !!!
"City of Angels" is a yeessss for me!!... Love it!!✌🏾
Those black diamond stingrays are gorgeous. I love watching them.
I got a flowerhorn because of frank his name is Fiore and he is so happy in my 125 gallon tank
I Love you Frank! You need a DIY Frank shirt. Id totally buy it....miss the snowflake eel 😕 Love this channel
MAnuel Ibanez think he does but I could be wrong
MAnuel Ibanez ???? Idk what your talking about?
This guy is really passionate. the fact that at almost every tank, he's saying ''oh, this is one of my favorite''
Truly an absolutely outstanding ambassador for the aquarium community. I hold a lot of respect for his passion and how he gets people excited and inspired about fish.
Running and gunning is your style. THis is your best video in a long time. Malawi over the tang. Angels over the Discus. I love the idea of the most difficult tank over the perceived most easy goldfish. Keep up the good work and Custom Aquariums rock
Joey sorry to tell you but there’s a dead angel fish in by the fillter in that tank
I’m so excited about the bass, I love your gallery. You take hobbying to the next level.
Love the Discus tank. Just the background and the "roots" coming down. It looks amazing. Like the Asian tank as well even if it wasn't as active as you would have liked. The rays though, they are my favorite. I'd love to have the room to have a tank big enough for rays.
I’m at a loss for words! Your collection is amazing I’d love to come and tour your beautiful set up!
The discus tank is my favorite
Lol every tank is one of his favorites
hello king of diy! I am 10 yrs old and have been watching your videos for the past 6 months and i absolutely love them. KEEP POSTING MORE VIDEOS BECAUSE YOU ARE TEACHING A LOT TO ME!
Just subscribed! I'm not incredibly interested in having fish, but I just love his enthusiasm for his passion! His excitement is so contagious lol
Fell in love with your platinum angels tank when you first set it up, had to hunt to find some for myself. So now I have multiple tank syndrome! Lol. So love your videos.❤️
Frank and Francine are The BEST tank 😍
Such a good job man, forget the haters! You are very talented and loved!
Wow. My favorite tank is the city of angles.... and the biggest tank with the sting rays. You can tell u love ur fish. Thanks for sharing!!

I like the goldfish Vs salt idea, especially if you get some really nice high quality goldfish like Jenny from solid gold has, goldfish are definitely underrated and if you want a fish with heaps of personality then they are a good choice for sure
You honestly need a Tshirt made that says its a mess, i have to take care of it.

Absolutely amazing! Even if your tanks didn't have fish, I would still be blown away. That's truly an art.
