I was brought up in a house exactly like this, full of tanks!! Hundreds of fish tanks in our house when i was a kid!! My brother who done this in the 1960s and 70s then started his own aquarium shop and went on to be Welsh fish keeper of the year for 24 years running. He is now a millionaire and lives in Spain and is a total workaholic. It all started off for him in the early60s when there was a hot water canal near to us in St. Helens, UK it was a water outlet for polkingyons glass who used to release hot water from making glass, people who were getting rid of fish tanks would throw there tropical fish in there and my brother used to go and catch them, breed them and sell them to the fish shops in and around Liverpool.
HUGE respect for this man, he prioritizes the well being and health of his fish, the way he talks about fish is so endearing and as a fellow fish keeper, his love for the hobby is obvious and i'm so touched. all I heard from this guy for 11:27 is nothing but passion.
As someone who was in the aquarium trade for decades, I find it a little hard to believe that this man is making the $ he claims. Those are all very common “bread and butter” species. The huge $ is with high end exotics (red arowanas, hard to get African lake cichlids) and marine fish and corals. Not guppies, glow-fish and commonly available bettas. The flower horns in the first store are worth more than his whole fish room. I’m calling bullshit on this, and since it’s from vice, I’m not at all surprised.
@@chriskolb3105 that's kinda what I was thinking. Tetras and Plecos are incredibly common and this guy is charging 60 dollars? I just bought one for 20 the other day.
This video resonated on an crazy level for me. I’m a guy with PTSD who keeps reptiles and finds it therapeutic. Dudes stuff is on the level I want to be at and I have hella respect for it.
Yeah and I'm sure those fish that are going extinct won't be eaten by any certain people of certain communities because that never happens... It's good to know especially endangered fish don't ever get sold on illegally to be eaten... That's just an added comfort to this great "side hustle"
🤗 Do you have snakes? I have found that feeding constrictors live rodents really bothers me, but I bet they give the BEST hugs.🐍 I sort of hanker for a tortoise, but it would outlive me, and couldn't fit through the dog door eventually.
I always respect people who are passionate and obsessive about what they do, regardless how mundane or quirky the work is. And what he does is not easy, freshwater planted aquarium hobbyist myself for 20+ years, just having 1 tank keeps me busy, can’t imagine keeping and maintaining so many tanks. Keep pushing brother!
This is the thing I absolutely love about the world - when you find someone doing something they love and have the utmost passion for their work - to0 many people want to be everything to everyone and they end up doing nothing at the same time - love this dude and others like him.
When he was talking about the need for conservation or a lot of these fish will go extinct, they showed a montage that included White Cloud Mountain minnows. (10:21 ish) They’re thought to be extinct in the wild but populations in captivity are absolutely booming! Just shows that we can absolutely make an impact if we try.
They're great fish as well for getting people into the hobby. Still have my same 4 white clouds I started with 3 years ago and recently upped them to a group of ten. Absolutely adore their colors and personality.
@@therealbigfloppa5512 I love that!They’re a favorite of mine too, such funny little fish! Just because they’re easy to keep alive doesn’t mean we love them any less.
I’m in the aquarium hobby and have ptsd as well. It is the most therapeutic hobby I’ve encountered. Each species of fish has its own traits and each individual fish is filled with personality that’s unique to each fish. It’s amazing.
While I don't have PTSD, I have a severe depression. It's really hard sometimes to keep up with the tanks, especially since mine are high maintenance - heavily planted, a lot of light, specifically fertilized, etc. But it can just as well feel meditative and rewarding the next day. In any case, sitting in front of a tank, seeing beautiful, healthy fish display crazily bright colors and showcase their natural behavior is better than any movie. The tank never looks the same way twice. There are so many details due to the all-natural setup and the plants, which is why I much prefer it to breeding tanks or what you normally find in an American home. Here, the fish interact with their surroundings, glide through the leaves and stems, hide in the shadows, occupy and defend caves or tiny territories. It's therapeutic.
Same feeling. I'm an IT professional and work can be exhausting most of the time. I started taking care of fish because my 5-year-old son would buy them and leave them inside random plastic containers. Started with one 6-gallon tank but now I have 12 tanks and hundreds of fish. The hobby gives me peace. I use the Walstad method with low-tech plants and reparium plants like photos. This method is so easy I only do water top-ups, twice a year water change only.
My ex left me too because she said I was spending too much time on my fishes 😂 Maintaining these amount of tanks is hard work, especially when you’re into breeding them as they require very specific and pristine water conditions to breed. His passion is amazing!
So nice to see that he cares about the well being of these and not just the money. Hearing him say he won’t sell to PetSmart made me so happy! Fish deserve a better life than living in a cup !
This guy is amazing. He’s literally hustling fish out of his closet. Anything is possible I promise. Never feel like you have something holding you back
Pretty sure he's posing to get a vice doc. None of the fish shown were really of any value he would need a LOT more volume to make the money he says he does. Not to mention the lack of grow out tanks and fry in this video lol
@@puddlebarf yea lmao it's not like its exotic fish there most fish you can literally buy anywhere. It only sounds like hes breaking even from what he spends
A roomate back in the day had a real big tank. He had various fish that all had personalities. Some little groups would battle each other for this house in there, other single fish would battle for who owned the sucken boat. Some days the tank was calm and some days the battles were on. We would all sit around, smoke weed and watch the giant fish tank to see what dynamics were happening in the fish world. I had never paid attention to fish in tanks other than a quick look. It was amazing to sit and watch them all co-exist and see fish politics in action. Very relaxing and entertaining. Excellent therapy no doubt.
Truly a King of fish. Chill dude who seems to know what he needs to make it through this life and I have a lot of respect for that. Really resonated with him saying the fish help him with his PTSD. I started a tiny (8*3 ft) balcony garden with a focus on local cacti and weird succulents for similar mental health reasons and it's been an immense help with just soothing out all the background noise in my brain. I don't know if it's because I created my own peaceful space I can control, or it's watching them just do their thing and grow or what. I've expanded into growing seeds and bulbs and it's been incredible watching them develop.
He's pretty young for a 40 year. I know a lot of my customer they were 40 but looks more like 50-60 year old man. This guy is definitely live a good life and having low amount of stress that keep him look more young, by doing his hobby as everyday activity. *it keep me sane* that he say earlier . Turning your hobby to main income is a big achievement.
@@MrMoose233 No Way. First, his face/skin does not look any younger than 34, but Look at his protruding gut/abdomen. Thats middle age. Atleast 38, but I only say 30s because of how he dresses. Dress him more mature, and less homely, and he's be more early-mid 40s.
I respect this guy so much. He loves what he does. He sleeps by the fish to make sure they are healthy and alive. This guy will be very sucessfull in life 💯. Much respect man!!! 🤴🏽🐟🐠🐡
He already is successfull, bro. It's all about the attitude. If you think it and talk it you're already there and all the material stuff will just follow.
Wow... this guy seems amazing and heartfelt. Can't imagine breaking up with someone for such a peaceful and beautiful passion needing space in their life ... 🧡
These types of videos are great! They should just avoid political topics and they are good. Their biases shines through too much in most of the political related videos, which is annoying.
I love how he made a tragedy into something beautiful for his own world/life. My girls watch me doing y tanks and I hope one day they will do the same in the hobby and enjoy it. Hats off to you, sir!
@@Snarfindorf his gf left him for a reason.. She must have seen something in him where we never get to pick up on by this simple interview... It's really hard to prove he's making that much money.

@@condorX2 yeah he seems off to me. Especially the part where he started taking about "people having to take into consideration that pet fish going extinct" like whaaaaat 😂
@@condorX2 You kidding me? For 1 not everyone has space for this. For 2 its thousands for start up cost just in equipment + the fish. And its a lot of work. He also has all the connects to do this successfully, and knowledge on how to care for different breeds. Easily see this guy mkaing 45k a year
Who cares what girls think, this guy is accomplished and doing something that brings him peace with income. Automatically before a woman even enters his life there is conflict and separation from what he loves doing. The right woman will enter without judging him. Stay on your purpose young kings.
bruh who are you to give advice? a guy attacked you and your woman at a grocery store once and all you could do is curl up in fetal position... pathetic excuse of a man!
Honestly I know exactly how dude feels when he said “ My apartment is like a spaceship “ I go to my garage to smoke and stare at my fishes for hours, feeding watching them eating. It peaceful and relaxing listening to the waterfall sound from the water filter. Imagine listening to 60 tank in 1 room, super soothing.
Blessed be aqua Malik. I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and I mostly just love your passion and sensibility in fish keeping. It makes me so happy to know that you are able to make a little money while doing what you love. I have like 15 tanks in my apartment that I hope to see a return on, at least a little! But I literally got evicted over my tanks and lost almost all my fish and shrimp. I cried so many tears. But at least now I have a good excuse to try a bunch of new things! Be well!
Malik, you are a good man. We should be all so lucky to find a passion that keeps us sane and helps us tread through this sometimes harsh reality. Kudos to you, my brotha, for not being apologetic...
Dude living his life. Don’t let others influence you or even getting married unless you found the wife that’s like you, into this fish thing. Otherwise, keep doing what you’re doing man.
Fish keeping, even as a hobby, is like a second job if you have more than a couple of tanks. Between feeding, cleaning & water changes you can spend 2 hours a week on each tank, more if you are breeding, even more if you have sick fish and a hospital tank. We are going to have to get another electrical circuit installed to support all our aquariums and ponds at this stage.
This is exactly how I am with my animals. Happy to see someone else who feels the same. Animals of all kinds are blessings. They really do put you in a better place
As someone that keeps fish as a hobby, this is awesome. I appreciate the quality and effort he puts into it, he’s clearly passionate as am I. We love to see it!!!
Hey this guy has found something that makes him calm and happy. You can't put a price tag to that. So major props. I hope one day he does find someone.
Some might find this crazy. But my boyfriend and I are in the fish hobby. We keep fully planted live tanks and fill them with live beaters that we can sell. Recently we’ve started doing ornamental shrimp who also have live babies. They make about 50 at a time and we can sell them for $60 per 20 shrimp. It’s a fabulous side hustle and it introduces you to an extremely diverse community of hobbyists who do things that would blow your mind! If you’ve never had an aquarium give it some research and a try. It is so rewarding,
I love seeing this!! Keeping fish is so good for our mental health. Plus, there is a great support system around the world of other fishkeepers. Sharing an apartment/house with anyone is risky. It is wonderful to have enough space for our fish without needing someone else's approval. When someone I dated years ago said, "It is either me or the horse", I said, 'There is the door'!! I don't have a horse at the moment, but I do have plenty of aquarium tanks and would say the same thing again regarding fish. I too sleep surrounded by fish tanks. There are many of us who do. I love it that you pray to God. Thanks, Malik, for sharing your video!!! USA/Canada
I got mad respect to those who have a passion to whatever craft they're putting their work into and at the same time it makes them decent money. Props to him for loving his hustle.
I always forget that automatic gear is the norm in the US. At first I didn’t understand your comment lol. But it did confuse me that he apparently earns so much from the fish, but the rest of his house is a messy and gross mess
I am seriously impressed by the structural integrity of his apt. Looks like he’s on the second floor and that many tanks full of water is extremely heavy.
Well if he's an actor, he can afford to buy the bottom floor probably... he nets $45k a year he says on Star Trek. Who knows. Maybe he has it all set up and it's really not an apt building?
This is literally my dream, breeding fish in my house.. I’ve grown up around fish tanks, I currently have over 8 of them… it’s so amazing to see people become successful in this business, I know I can do it too one day.
I’ve been fish keeping for 11+ years and just moved into my new house. Now I have my own fish room in the basement! I’ll be breeding and selling local soon!
I sold cherry shrimp out of my apartment so I know this is 100% possible. I sold them online and shipped them out to customers. Sounds easy but it was a lot of work. I was always busy!
I’m the same way lmao I have 6 saltwater coral reef aquariums in my bedroom I grow and sell corals and it’s very profitable! I don’t do it for that reason tho I have been completely obsessed with aquariums in general since my mother got me an aquarium at like 4 years old. Just regular gold fish and that grew into guppies and platys. After that was cichlid fish and planted aquariums. I started growing coral at 13 and haven’t stopped ever since. The reef industry has been evolving so much it never gets old! Between the coral strains/ fish/ equipment/ events/ the community and the coral clubs it just always stays very fun and super interesting! Love being an aquatics geek lol I saw this vid and had to check it out!! Good stuff 🤙👌
Much respect Aquamalik! I recently got into the fish hobby for my daughter and agree that it’s soooo relaxing to watch the fish. My daughter loves it and it’s great bonding time for us. Thank u for sharing your passion..in a way it gives us permission to also be ourselves and pursue our passions, regardless what it might look like to others 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
thanks for the wholesome piece vice. Also, i agree the bubbles and rippling water falls from my aquarium is therapeutic and calming for me too. but i bet water changes for these are no joke.
You can really tell he cares for the animals, if you look at how many thousands of dog breeders abuse puppies in puppy farms it makes you feel sick! We need more Maliks in dog breeding
Malik my friend!! The greatest fish keeper and educater ever!!! One of the most beautiful people inside and out!! 1 million subscribers is on the and more🙏♥️🌿🐟🌿💚
Yea this guy works his ass off to make a living at that, but probably loves every minute of it. Every fish hobbyist has dreamed of being this guy, it's not about the money its all about the obsession.
I agree, I once knew a guy who was breeding Ball Pythons and it was a similar thing... It takes a special amount of dedication to get to this point of you "Hobby"
U can see this man is happy because he found something in life he genuinely loves and care about. The philosophy of hapinness is based on this simple concept, that all u need folks🙂
Shows him feeding fish with Tetra fish food from the big yellow tub, 30 seconds later “I only feed my fish the very high quality food, $500 a month on food”. Love the hustle, that just made me laugh lol
As a fellow Canadian-Sri Lankan, I'm happy that your parents let you do the stuff that you want. In many Sri Lankan families, they're forced to do careers which aren't fun, but they give a lot of money.
We used to have neighbours who side hustled as Aquarium Fish Breeders in the 1970s ... Great to see these Aquarium Fish Lovers are doing Well in their hobbies & help to keep these Aquarium Fishes & Aquatic Plants alive in these Mass Extinction Era ... Many of the Cichlid Species in the Wild in Africa & South America are facing Extinction Threat or already Extinct! 🌷🌿🌎💖🐠
It’s inspiring and encouraging to hear him talk about how his fish insulate him from things happening outside. We all have that mechanism in our own way. He is happy because of the things he enjoys, not because of what society may say is cool or appropriate.

It all started off for him in the early60s when there was a hot water canal near to us in St. Helens, UK it was a water outlet for polkingyons glass who used to release hot water from making glass, people who were getting rid of fish tanks would throw there tropical fish in there and my brother used to go and catch them, breed them and sell them to the fish shops in and around Liverpool.
Ha genius
You didn’t need her bro. There’s plenty of fish in the sea 😂😂😂
Yoooo
Lolololol
Omg😆
God tier comment becky 🔥🔥🔥
😂😂😂😂😂😂
HUGE respect for this man, he prioritizes the well being and health of his fish, the way he talks about fish is so endearing and as a fellow fish keeper, his love for the hobby is obvious and i'm so touched. all I heard from this guy for 11:27 is nothing but passion.
The rarest uncle. I need him.
rare fish in mongolian warehouse absolute banger
As an avid fish keeper for years, I love seeing vice cover our incredible hobby
A shame there is not more money in it. Been trying to make a living in fish keeping for years so difficult
Exactly 💯
As someone who was in the aquarium trade for decades, I find it a little hard to believe that this man is making the $ he claims. Those are all very common “bread and butter” species. The huge $ is with high end exotics (red arowanas, hard to get African lake cichlids) and marine fish and corals. Not guppies, glow-fish and commonly available bettas. The flower horns in the first store are worth more than his whole fish room. I’m calling bullshit on this, and since it’s from vice, I’m not at all surprised.
@@chriskolb3105 that's kinda what I was thinking. Tetras and Plecos are incredibly common and this guy is charging 60 dollars? I just bought one for 20 the other day.
This video resonated on an crazy level for me. I’m a guy with PTSD who keeps reptiles and finds it therapeutic. Dudes stuff is on the level I want to be at and I have hella respect for it.
Me too 🤘🏾
Just try to slowly scale up your current operation.
You can do it Bro!!!!
Yeah and I'm sure those fish that are going extinct won't be eaten by any certain people of certain communities because that never happens... It's good to know especially endangered fish don't ever get sold on illegally to be eaten... That's just an added comfort to this great "side hustle"
🤗 Do you have snakes?
I have found that feeding constrictors live rodents really bothers me, but I bet they give the BEST hugs.🐍
I sort of hanker for a tortoise, but it would outlive me, and couldn't fit through the dog door eventually.
I’m happy he left his girl that didn’t approve of his fishes. Never let anyone change you Malik, keep grinding!! 🐠🐡🐟
what a beast fr. man needs his fish room to relax.
Right. There's plenty more fish in his living room
We’ll there’s plenty more fish in the sea…
I’m so sorry😂
SIGMA MALE
Damn.
I always respect people who are passionate and obsessive about what they do, regardless how mundane or quirky the work is. And what he does is not easy, freshwater planted aquarium hobbyist myself for 20+ years, just having 1 tank keeps me busy, can’t imagine keeping and maintaining so many tanks. Keep pushing brother!
This is the thing I absolutely love about the world - when you find someone doing something they love and have the utmost passion for their work - to0 many people want to be everything to everyone and they end up doing nothing at the same time - love this dude and others like him.
True words
Store: So how many fish tank aquariums do you need?
Malik: *YES*
As a fish breeder, this is very usual.
😂😂😂😂💯
Multiple tank syndrome
When he was talking about the need for conservation or a lot of these fish will go extinct, they showed a montage that included White Cloud Mountain minnows. (10:21 ish) They’re thought to be extinct in the wild but populations in captivity are absolutely booming! Just shows that we can absolutely make an impact if we try.
They're great fish as well for getting people into the hobby. Still have my same 4 white clouds I started with 3 years ago and recently upped them to a group of ten. Absolutely adore their colors and personality.
@@therealbigfloppa5512 I love that!They’re a favorite of mine too, such funny little fish! Just because they’re easy to keep alive doesn’t mean we love them any less.
My gosh I used to own 6 of those, they were very cool!
Definitely can make an impact in any direction...start small..it will grow..
Yeah it's pretty wonderful that we can continue to make these extinct fishes suffer and live in little tanks for our amusement
I’m in the aquarium hobby and have ptsd as well. It is the most therapeutic hobby I’ve encountered. Each species of fish has its own traits and each individual fish is filled with personality that’s unique to each fish. It’s amazing.
While I don't have PTSD, I have a severe depression. It's really hard sometimes to keep up with the tanks, especially since mine are high maintenance - heavily planted, a lot of light, specifically fertilized, etc. But it can just as well feel meditative and rewarding the next day. In any case, sitting in front of a tank, seeing beautiful, healthy fish display crazily bright colors and showcase their natural behavior is better than any movie. The tank never looks the same way twice. There are so many details due to the all-natural setup and the plants, which is why I much prefer it to breeding tanks or what you normally find in an American home. Here, the fish interact with their surroundings, glide through the leaves and stems, hide in the shadows, occupy and defend caves or tiny territories. It's therapeutic.
@@Nitidus absolutely
Same feeling. I'm an IT professional and work can be exhausting most of the time. I started taking care of fish because my 5-year-old son would buy them and leave them inside random plastic containers. Started with one 6-gallon tank but now I have 12 tanks and hundreds of fish. The hobby gives me peace. I use the Walstad method with low-tech plants and reparium plants like photos. This method is so easy I only do water top-ups, twice a year water change only.
This guy is incredible. That girl who left him because of his fish didn't deserve him.
I agree he is a very clever man ans also ue got a lot of cool fish
I'm watching this vid solely due to this comment.
We support you king
Bruh the Fish have more personality then her anyway.
They just had a reasonable disagreement, doesn’t mean she’s a bad person.
My ex left me too because she said I was spending too much time on my fishes 😂
Maintaining these amount of tanks is hard work, especially when you’re into breeding them as they require very specific and pristine water conditions to breed. His passion is amazing!
I think everyone need a hobby that makes them happy. I used to have fish when I was in high school. Now I have horses 😂
Isn’t it on my fish
there are plenty of fish in the sea
@@Michael-ph6xb nice
I would really like to do this. Lets say I atart off with 5 tanks could I quit my job?
This is some of the best content I've seen from Vice in years, get this man to a million subs he has passion.
So nice to see that he cares about the well being of these and not just the money. Hearing him say he won’t sell to PetSmart made me so happy! Fish deserve a better life than living in a cup !
Cup versus tank, not a huge difference compared to their natural habitat

Pretty sure he's posing to get a vice doc. None of the fish shown were really of any value he would need a LOT more volume to make the money he says he does. Not to mention the lack of grow out tanks and fry in this video lol

@@dirkdiggler9379 and so what!! Most everything be about taxes! !! ?
A roomate back in the day had a real big tank. He had various fish that all had personalities. Some little groups would battle each other for this house in there, other single fish would battle for who owned the sucken boat. Some days the tank was calm and some days the battles were on. We would all sit around, smoke weed and watch the giant fish tank to see what dynamics were happening in the fish world. I had never paid attention to fish in tanks other than a quick look. It was amazing to sit and watch them all co-exist and see fish politics in action. Very relaxing and entertaining. Excellent therapy no doubt.
Truly a King of fish. Chill dude who seems to know what he needs to make it through this life and I have a lot of respect for that. Really resonated with him saying the fish help him with his PTSD. I started a tiny (8*3 ft) balcony garden with a focus on local cacti and weird succulents for similar mental health reasons and it's been an immense help with just soothing out all the background noise in my brain. I don't know if it's because I created my own peaceful space I can control, or it's watching them just do their thing and grow or what. I've expanded into growing seeds and bulbs and it's been incredible watching them develop.
He's pretty young for a 40 year. I know a lot of my customer they were 40 but looks more like 50-60 year old man. This guy is definitely live a good life and having low amount of stress that keep him look more young, by doing his hobby as everyday activity. *it keep me sane* that he say earlier . Turning your hobby to main income is a big achievement.
he looks about late 30s, not much difference🤷
@@bevs9995 I'd say early 30s
@@MrMoose233 No Way. First, his face/skin does not look any younger than 34, but Look at his protruding gut/abdomen. Thats middle age. Atleast 38, but I only say 30s because of how he dresses. Dress him more mature, and less homely, and he's be more early-mid 40s.
The guy said he has PTSD. Not sure if that qualifies as a low stress life lol
dude still has his hair unlike a lot of 40 year olds including me :(
I respect this guy so much. He loves what he does. He sleeps by the fish to make sure they are healthy and alive. This guy will be very sucessfull in life 💯. Much respect man!!! 🤴🏽🐟🐠🐡

So true. Malik lives with PTSD and has found a hobby that he can make a living from. Well done to him.
Wow... this guy seems amazing and heartfelt. Can't imagine breaking up with someone for such a peaceful and beautiful passion needing space in their life ... 🧡

Yes it’s been more like the old vice, really liking what they are doing at the moment.
These types of videos are great! They should just avoid political topics and they are good. Their biases shines through too much in most of the political related videos, which is annoying.

Who cares what girls think, this guy is accomplished and doing something that brings him peace with income. Automatically before a woman even enters his life there is conflict and separation from what he loves doing. The right woman will enter without judging him. Stay on your purpose young kings.

@@rachaeldangelo1337 Just don't bring your fish to actual space.. they'd float around in the air and die. 😭

Blessed be aqua Malik. I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and I mostly just love your passion and sensibility in fish keeping. It makes me so happy to know that you are able to make a little money while doing what you love. I have like 15 tanks in my apartment that I hope to see a return on, at least a little! But I literally got evicted over my tanks and lost almost all my fish and shrimp. I cried so many tears. But at least now I have a good excuse to try a bunch of new things! Be well!
Malik, you are a good man. We should be all so lucky to find a passion that keeps us sane and helps us tread through this sometimes harsh reality. Kudos to you, my brotha, for not being apologetic...
Dude living his life. Don’t let others influence you or even getting married unless you found the wife that’s like you, into this fish thing. Otherwise, keep doing what you’re doing man.

Facts
as a woman, this is bullshit. malik is wierd af, no clout, no money, no status, no looks, worthless
In todays age alot of men will have to choose between a crappy female partner or living their best life. Really little inbetween left sadly.
Fish keeping, even as a hobby, is like a second job if you have more than a couple of tanks. Between feeding, cleaning & water changes you can spend 2 hours a week on each tank, more if you are breeding, even more if you have sick fish and a hospital tank. We are going to have to get another electrical circuit installed to support all our aquariums and ponds at this stage.
I love it. Always have a minimum of two if not more haha.

“Hopefully that happens, but if not, I’m good.” Free wisdom right there.
Some might find this crazy. But my boyfriend and I are in the fish hobby. We keep fully planted live tanks and fill them with live beaters that we can sell. Recently we’ve started doing ornamental shrimp who also have live babies. They make about 50 at a time and we can sell them for $60 per 20 shrimp. It’s a fabulous side hustle and it introduces you to an extremely diverse community of hobbyists who do things that would blow your mind! If you’ve never had an aquarium give it some research and a try. It is so rewarding,
y r u gay?
I love seeing this!! Keeping fish is so good for our mental health. Plus, there is a great support system around the world of other fishkeepers. Sharing an apartment/house with anyone is risky. It is wonderful to have enough space for our fish without needing someone else's approval. When someone I dated years ago said, "It is either me or the horse", I said, 'There is the door'!! I don't have a horse at the moment, but I do have plenty of aquarium tanks and would say the same thing again regarding fish. I too sleep surrounded by fish tanks. There are many of us who do. I love it that you pray to God. Thanks, Malik, for sharing your video!!! USA/Canada
I got mad respect to those who have a passion to whatever craft they're putting their work into and at the same time it makes them decent money. Props to him for loving his hustle.

I am seriously impressed by the structural integrity of his apt. Looks like he’s on the second floor and that many tanks full of water is extremely heavy.
They will one day blow up nothing can prevent it
@@arthurlieutenant4880 what do you mean?
This is worrying. He should actually have set up bottom floor. Water is heavy

Well if he's an actor, he can afford to buy the bottom floor probably... he nets $45k a year he says on Star Trek. Who knows. Maybe he has it all set up and it's really not an apt building?
This is literally my dream, breeding fish in my house.. I’ve grown up around fish tanks, I currently have over 8 of them… it’s so amazing to see people become successful in this business, I know I can do it too one day.
You go shithawk, you go
I’ve been fish keeping for 11+ years and just moved into my new house. Now I have my own fish room in the basement! I’ll be breeding and selling local soon!
I sold cherry shrimp out of my apartment so I know this is 100% possible. I sold them online and shipped them out to customers. Sounds easy but it was a lot of work. I was always busy!
I’m the same way lmao I have 6 saltwater coral reef aquariums in my bedroom I grow and sell corals and it’s very profitable! I don’t do it for that reason tho I have been completely obsessed with aquariums in general since my mother got me an aquarium at like 4 years old. Just regular gold fish and that grew into guppies and platys. After that was cichlid fish and planted aquariums. I started growing coral at 13 and haven’t stopped ever since. The reef industry has been evolving so much it never gets old! Between the coral strains/ fish/ equipment/ events/ the community and the coral clubs it just always stays very fun and super interesting!

I bet the water changes are a big pain in the ass for all these tanks especially with the amount of fish he is keeping
