I'm really opposed to idea of collecting fish that are just beginning to pop-up outside their protected habitat... There are enough beautiful fish in the trade that are captive bred or at least widely spread in the wild.. I just don't get the obsession of some people to have the most rare fish, with no regards to the health of their natural population... That being said the store looks really nice and neat. And all the fish look great and healthy.
The fish are not rare in the wild, just in captivity because they're hard to catch. There are incredibly strict laws on the capture and import of fish and coral.
This place is so Beautiful.. I'm absolutely in love with the way it is.. 😍 these guys have so much dedication and love for the fish shows in each tank..
Great video George! People like this are a huge positive to help save coral reefs. We should thank everyone who frags responsibly. Keep up the great work. Thank you
I hope this shop will find its balance in the new location. At the moment, it feels there are still growing pains, but the new location is so much more fit for purpose.
Congratulations to the owner. There are great new stores popping up all over the world and I trust that you George the intrepid guid will show us all of them. Really appreciate your work.😎🌴🏴☠️
Is this foreshadowing a George Farmer saltwater scape?!? Btw another great video, love seeing something different (saltwater) species and corals. It's awesome learning something new!
I saw the emperor angelfish last week during one my dives in Mauritius. I first spotted the infant, shown in this video and later on an adult. I was under the impression that they were different species, then I found out about the transformation. Beautiful fish!!
I’ve had about 3 reef tanks before swapping over to freshwater. I absolutely love them, but found it really tricky to keep the water parameters exact. Plus placing the corals correct so they don’t fight, and adding only a small bio load is a problem. Love the flame angel, I found them to be surprisingly hardy. I would also never keep an anemone either, they don’t live well in captivity, and if they die, they pollute and kill your whole tank. There is no doubt that reef tanks are gorgeous, but I also have an issue with the fact that not many fish are bred in captivity . They are being depleted in many areas, so captive breeding is essential
I love the tiles but £1,700 for an oreni makes me want to just go out and buy 17 flasher tiles haha. I’ve been debating on making a species only or dominated tank and I think I’ll do it with the tilefish and wrasses
Awesome video George! That mans shop is amazing, the selection of different coral was great and that hammer in the main tank was huge. At the fish/coral store near me they breed clown fish and one time i was there they actually let me see how its all done. It was pretty cool to see all the babies and how they have to separate them for safety and the variety of parents.
WOW! that's amazing I never seen that fish in many years until now.Such great videos and never got bored watching your channel because its cool,entertaining,and I love fishes or any sea creature.
Thanks George. Great video !! Love it!! Now I'll have to find space to fit in a four or five footer. Hmmm....maybe I can remove my tv and slip in a 4 footer.
If Ed is part owner of reef keeper... does that make him a part owner of maidenhead Aquatics? I always thought maidenhead Aquatics was a big "chain store" over there in Europe? Awesome place, very cool and beautiful fish!!!!!
Coral lives from a few meters to 100 meters down thus the light gets filtered until only blue gets through. Blue light this simulate the water colour deep down. Regular strong white daylight literally burns them until they're white. Technically you can use normal daylight but you gotta tone down the power and/or running time. Also, with this type of blueish/purpleish light, the colors pop out more.
Thomas Kemp this is a personal preference but most aquariums i've ever seen have the light tilted towards a blueish/purple hue. I personally think everything (fish and coral) look better that way...they pop out more ! White daylight is a bit boring and flat IMO...but that's my taste.
what about the peppermint angel that live aquaria solde for $20000 or so a few months back? usually only one gets sold a year so wouldnt he rival these fish?
Great looking store wish I lived closer to it loved the variety of corals and marine fish particularly liked the outside are with the koi have you ever thought about doing a pond yourself George? with all those great plants and your knowledge of aquascaping bet you would do a great pond 👍 Keep on scaping 🌱
Never new they are rare (3years after this video uploaded) but are they still rare? Cuz i bought one yesterday 😅😅 and i see people talking about 1200+ USD and i payed so much less (In a store in europe). And Yes they are freaking beautifull!!
I doubt it there’s a lot of one off fish so I’ll ride with this statement on saltwater but only half way again there’s many rare saltwater specimens out there that even scientists don’t get to hear of
dude you gotta be kidding me!!! it was so hard finding this fish i had one i got it from a reef store in Missouri when i lived in Kansas City MO ... im not kidding and when i told the guy i had to have that fish he tryed hard persuading me not to get it. i spent like $150 on it. and yes i know what im talking about . this fish would swim on the top of the water like a bottle nose dolphin. Honestly im freaking out because i didnt know it was rare and i was wondering why i cant find another one. Im in Michigan now getting ready to set up another reef tank. I only wish i knew how rare it was. The guy at that shop had a guy that would dive and get him stuff . Im just saying I had one of those im not fibbing. and here is the sad part they are hard to keep he only lived like 2 months . I just dont understand.
I would not want to be the person buying those. Hopefully they sell them to somebody able to take care of them properly. Maybe worth staff doing home visits to whoever is wanting to buy them before selling. Thats a big responsibility right there.
@@wallagoplzdontgo3493 good to hear. fck those chinese harvesting coral reefs the west ph sea territory. hope we can restore the destroyed reefs one day with these methods.
George, there's going to be a vocal minority who see the phrase "world's rarest fish" and confuse the terminology with "critically endangered". As Ed helpfully points out, this fish is just rarely COLLECTED and not likely to actually be rare in the wild. Specifically, it is only found in the Western Indian Ocean, in moderately deep sand flats... not the kind of place divers and collectors frequent. If one were basing things on the total wild population, the Kingi Angelfish is likely the rarest fish in this video. As someone with a popular youtube channel, please act as a better ambassador for the aquarium trade. Provide more context and less clickbait.
@@paulmasters8666 A quick look through the comments here shows that the one left by Dawn Cunningham, calling for an outright ban on all aquarium collecting, has by far the most likes. This sentiment is widespread and surprisingly effective with policy makers. It's why there was a ban put in place in Hawaii and why there is a current ban on Indonesian corals. Context is actually very important when speaking about "rare fish", because it's far too easy for opponents of the aquarium trade to latch on to that as a reason to ban this entire industry out of existence. Inform yourself on this issue, bro.
@@joer7512 That's great an all but nothing to do with my comment, they address your issue in the video and the title isn't click bait, way to deflect bro...
@@paulmasters8666 Was I supposed to respond to your condescending demand that I "calm down"? Or your insult of my character as someone who is "looking to be offended"? This "world's rarest fish" isn't truly rare, so it is most definitely clickbait to word it as such. This is a common problem in the aquarium trade (and something that I might even be guilty of, seeing as I've published hundreds of articles on rare marinelife #humblebrag). This is more than some pedantic quibble about semantics. Most of the detractors of the aquarium trade, those actively hoping to shut it down entirely, aren't going to bother with watching this video to pick up the brief context provided by Ed. They're simply going to see the big blaring headline that screams "WORLD's RAREST FISH". If aquarists aren't careful with how they sensationalize all the "rare fish" in the trade, it's inevitable that there will be more pressure to ban collection entirely. Dawn's comment is still racking up more likes, bro.
@@joer7512 Well now you are a complete joke to me bro, you clearly have no comprehension of the meaning behind this simply worded title or it's context. "The World's Rarest Fish in any Aquarium Store" is the title and that is not click bait it is what they believe and I'm willing to accept their assessment. I have no idea why you keep bringing up Dawns comment it isn't relevant to my comment...

I hope they breed them..
If they are breed in captivity correctly and not taken from the wild then they’ll be fine. Leave the ones in the wild alone.
John Markz hopefully it isn’t sold to some rich guy just to brag to his mates.
Because if they are captive bred then they can be introduced into the wild if they are killed off
The fish are not rare in the wild, just in captivity because they're hard to catch. There are incredibly strict laws on the capture and import of fish and coral.
Wow! I’ve been in the hobby 22 years and had never seen that species of tilefish before. Beautiful.
What a GREAT STORE!! Thank you for he tour!
4:09 is the fish you’re clicking this video for
Nice and clean reef shop, paradise for reef maniacs :)
But my heart is with the freshwater aquarium.
This place is so Beautiful.. I'm absolutely in love with the way it is.. 😍 these guys have so much dedication and love for the fish shows in each tank..
Agreed 👍
I like that this store has 3 levels of fish tanks and so nicely labeled! Very organized!
Hi George.. I am indonesian.. and I love aquascape since I watched your video.. And I made one by myself in my home.. thanks for the inspirations
I'm definitely not a saltwater aquarist, but I can absolutely appreciate the beauty of it just the same. Thanks George for sharing this with us!
Love the store tours! Looks like a very diverse "one stop" shop!
Great video George! People like this are a huge positive to help save coral reefs. We should thank everyone who frags responsibly. Keep up the great work.

Just been at the store last weekend, great collection of fish and corals
What's the background music? Love it!
Nice video 👌👌
I adore reef scapes. Might have a go one day, still daunted by it and what can go wrong.
WAHOU, une très jolie boutique et une bien belle vidéo !!! Merci Georges et bravo ... 👏👏👏
9:04 the tomini tang is my altimeter favorate fish 🐠

OMG such a sick sick shop !! I wish we had something like this in my area...my local fish shop sucks...they're CLUELESS.
Wonderful store!

Very nice George
Awesome store !!!
Really nice Shop, i love it. 👍❤
Shop was really nice George.
Need to treat with praziquantel that A. kingi has really bad gill flukes.
If Ed is part owner of reef keeper... does that make him a part owner of maidenhead Aquatics? I always thought maidenhead Aquatics was a big "chain store" over there in Europe? Awesome place, very cool and beautiful fish!!!!!
local Las Vegas shop has 2 in display tank . says crazy expensive
Great video. Why the blue light for the coral? Can you put coral under white light?
Coral lives from a few meters to 100 meters down thus the light gets filtered until only blue gets through. Blue light this simulate the water colour deep down.
Regular strong white daylight literally burns them until they're white. Technically you can use normal daylight but you gotta tone down the power and/or running time. Also, with this type of blueish/purpleish light, the colors pop out more.
SpaghettiKillah thanks. Do you think the fish look odd under blue light? In the video, the fish are always shown under white light.
Thomas Kemp this is a personal preference but most aquariums i've ever seen have the light tilted towards a blueish/purple hue. I personally think everything (fish and coral) look better that way...they pop out more !
White daylight is a bit boring and flat IMO...but that's my taste.
Impressive shop.
what about the peppermint angel that live aquaria solde for $20000 or so a few months back? usually only one gets sold a year so wouldnt he rival these fish?
Even $30.000.
Insane store, wish we had something like this where I live..by the way...soon 100 000:) congratulations, you deserve it, such a great channel...
I have got this one.is the

Cute fish, George
Thank you 💓💓💓
Nice to see a marine video George.
14 :17 I have that fish and 4:09 that an killer whales and killer shark and killer fish I have this fish oh I forgot I have star fish
Bruhhhh
Are they really that expensive? I mean given alot of enthusiasts will have spent that or more just setting up their tank
Never new they are rare (3years after this video uploaded) but are they still rare?
Cuz i bought one yesterday 😅😅 and i see people talking about 1200+ USD and i payed so much less (In a store in europe).
And Yes they are freaking beautifull!!
Wow! That’s one (or two) pricey fish!!
10:16 what great news!
Wonderful
I wish I could work for this guy!
Reef tanks? Instantly like :)
4:59 I find it amusing that 2 girl fish would not usually get along
Peppermint angels are like 25x the price of that tilefish
U should get a Reef tank mate!
I want my 120 gallon to look like that Red Sea reef tank with 112g nothing more or less that’s perfect I’ve been looking for ideas this might be it
I doubt it there’s a lot of one off fish so I’ll ride with this statement on saltwater but only half way again there’s many rare saltwater specimens out there that even scientists don’t get to hear of
rare fish investment
Those Filefish are so adorable :D
Great video, and interesting, but reefs just don’t float my boat.
Same. Reef tanks all look about the same to me .
Someone call the tang police
Lololol
dude you gotta be kidding me!!!

I love maidenhead aquatics
That is not true
Damn. I didn't know Bradley Coopers brother was English.
cool
HEALTHY CORAL?!?!!?!
You go in a shop see those beautiful colors.
Then u go diveing and are disapointed
Alucard NoLifeKing it’s the size of natural “wild coral” that makes diving a breathtaking experience
@@staneagle1070 But no colors. :)
Even without bleaching, corals will never look as good as in an aquarium.
I hate when they say “the onlyone or two in the petstore world” my reef store has it here in NYC lol
I would not want to be the person buying those. Hopefully they sell them to somebody able to take care of them properly. Maybe worth staff doing home visits to whoever is wanting to buy them before selling. Thats a big responsibility right there.
Wow
😍😍😍😍
rarest fish in the world, and they're only 1000 pounds each???? that's cheap
Brian Chapman still cheap for the “rarest” fish in the world.
real corals :-( isn't that ILLEGAL?
Nope, most corals in stores are farmed/aquacultured. However some are still wild collected, but far from illegal.
@@wallagoplzdontgo3493 good to hear. fck those chinese harvesting coral reefs the west ph sea territory. hope we can restore the destroyed reefs one day with these methods.
👍👍

Human madness
how much!!!! - - be careful getting them home .........
ITS beautifull but he can keep his reef .
Thank you for destroying coral reefs and taking fish for ransom. .you guys are the best! Best example of nature's pests!
I thought japanese arowana was the rarest
how would it be rare if it's mass bred?
Cool Goby Fish 🤗i thought😂
That’s not true about tilefish I told my local aquarium guy he was laughing and showed me approx 100 he has each going for £11 each lol
