Joey is enjoying the hobby again. How great!!!!
I was thinking that myself. 2/3 the fun he seems to have is just doing projects. I think the biggest mistake he could possibly make with this is if he tries to put it into a permanent unchanging setup. He needs to set it all up so he can do something new on things or keep modifying and tweaking to make and keep things interesting for himself.
The background looks good: Just keep in mind that any "textured" wall will be a dust magnet.
That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw it.
The plants on the wall is a nightmare. It will ruin the drywall and turn to black mold with the moisture.
Wow, I bet that’s natural Oscar behavior in the wild when predators are present.
Exactly. I thoroughly enjoy the DIY KING. But why put them through that stress? It just doesn't seem like it's worth stressing them. But I'm no pro. So I guess I could be way off base?
@@BigStevesGlassBoxCreations they arent really that stressed, its just a change in behavior given a new dynamic. if they were truly stressed they would decolor and lose appetite and be incredibly skiddish.
I've seen them "in the wild", they tend to group close, specially when they have fry.
That corner tank not being able to be full of water always bothered my eye.
I love the oscars schoaling so tight it is cool.
Like this current upgrade for them.
Great video!
I think When they swim together they appear bigger to the puffer and makes them work together for "protection" and feel safer
I pretty much stopped doing water changes on my heavily planted 75 gallon. Only time water came out, and got put back in, is when I NEEDED to vacuum the substrate. I somehow got it to be self sustaining for the most part.
I was thinking the exact same thing
Love the vine wall look!! Btw i always forget to mention but they sell door stoppers for the actual hinge instead of screwing it to the floor. If you use the hinge stop it goes on the middle hinge of the door and it wont create a trip hazard on the floor! 👌
It looks as though they are attempting to look like one big fish to Tyrese. It's pretty obvious they see him as a potential threat.
And the King surveys his realm. :D
How are the koi doing? Gotta be getting warm enough to swim with them soon!
Well I added a oscar to a 3ft tank and after 2 years added angel fish, the Oscar was alone from birth and people informed me that the angels wouldn't survive and they did surprisingly
JOEY..... cover the wall with the plants then get a couple of large rocks to have them jet out from the wall with the plants to break up all the plants
I built your stand for my 50g acrylic tank, wrapped it in pine wanes cote, trimmed with cedar thin lining wood. Glued wanes coat boards together to make doors, to me I love it. Thank you for showing us how to do things, greatly appreciated!
I've been watching you many years. I'm so happy that you have puffers now, they are so different from any other fish. Like tiny sea monsters.
I love Kevin’s personality
Tyrese is clearly the boss 😄
Your Oscars are beautiful they’re really kind of regal looking. I am so enjoying everything you’re doing.
Where is (Tamara) (spelling is it correct)is she staying out of your way or is she just too busy helping you and probably making sure you take care of yourself and eat . 😂
I think a live wall would look amazing where you want to put those plants!
Those oscars are much afraid of the fahaka , that's why they are schooling. I think in the end the fahaka will take a bite of them.
When my kids were small we had a 10 gallon tank with 8 betta in it - all males - started together when they were very small and lived together and would display but never fight. Not sure why it worked but it was fun! They did have lots, and lots, and lots, of decorations to swim around and lay on and we never added any other fish.
Can’t wait to see everything fully set it’s going be amazing 😍 . I’m definitely making the trip from BK , NY 👌🏻
i havent been able to watch one of ur vids for a few months the difference in the fish house is amazing
Each Fahaka puffer has its own personality . So keeping friends or food with it is possible , but it depends on the puffer . What worked for me was I added my puffer last to the tank . I had a large school of mollies and a bulldog carnivore pleco for clean up .
The puffer after introduce to the tank never killed anything unless it was introduced after the puffer . The pleco and puffer would fight over food but the puffer would hurt the pleco .
I use to hand feed my Fahaka and it gain my trust enough to pet him . I use to rub it's belly from the side. Never from the front , well atleast if you enjoy having your fingers .
I was told I couldn't keep corydora catfish with my orandas ... but they go great together and my catfish are always spawning ( I have babies now ) The new gallery is already looking absolutely amazing 🙏 👍
If I ever get the chance to holiday from the UK to Nova Scotia I am defo putting your gallery on my bucket list joey. Just fantastic 😘
So happy for you. Your excitement is so good to see. 3 things. 1) Rules are meant to be broken, so do what imagination wishes you to try. 2) Absolutely love the plant background. Think it would look great with the live Pothos. 3) Almost cried seeing the Oscar rank in shambles. Lol.
That's actually so much nicer with those plants! It will actually look super cool. Smaller rock wall for your own sake
I think the kids are gonna love this, and even "normal" people. 🤣
Looking good!! Maybe plants rocks plants rocks, plants on outside of the tanks, rocks where tanks go into the wall.
Go with plants on the wall. I'm sure in the past you did a fish shop tour where plants coming out of aquariums was amazing. I tried to find it but to many lol, it was at this point I realized just how long you have had me tuning in. I've been here watching your content for 5 year's cheers for entertaining me 😁
Outstanding job on the stands. Could have been a joiner mate but glad ur committed to promoting the aquarium hobby. I tip my hat Sir
I am amazed at how far you have come on the gallery in just two weeks. Great Job, Looking forward to the tanks to start arriving next week .
but joey, you say that you only want to do this once, while we all know that at least you will revisit it at least once, like you always do! ;)
keep making the great videos!!!
The plant wall looks amazing!
You know you should do like a live rock wall like a rock wall with moss growing on it and some other plants in random areas. Then have water dripping down it to keep it all alive. I feel like serpa design would be really good at this. It would also be a really awesome collab vid!
You can always still do the rock wall from the ground up to about 24-36 inches and cut up those plants you have hanging on the wall spread them out so they look like they're underwater plants like seaweed. I have a friend who put his Fahaka Puffer with his Flowerhorn and it's been almost 8 years and they still are doing just fine. My friend said the only thing that happened is their appetite grew probably because they see one another as competition. My family was asking if Bryan Barczyk was going to hook you up with your reptiles for your gallery? Either way, it's coming along nicely and we're looking forward to seeing the finished product......GL Joey!!!
The oskars behave in their natural habitat to protect themselves from enemies and then act like a big fish. :) Interesting to watch that in an aquarium.
And the puffer fish is unsure whether it is a fish or not a transformer. :D
With the plant wall, one thing you might consider is a different paint color...it looks kind of off with the bright blue behind the curtain there
Oh yeah it's going to be awsome.
Yes i like 1 wall with plants.
So make it more naturally
Schooling Oscars is the most amazing thing I've ever seen! That's awesome! So the trick is just to add a Fahaka Puffer, huh? Wild...
I’ve a blue male betta fish with 4 dwarf pufferfishes! I’ve never seen them near eachother not one of the fish has nipped fins or anything. Both of the species just live their life, and I love to see it
I love the wall of plants all over the place
Make it look like the jungle and fake snakes birds and mood lighting proud of you joey I could see u struggling at home but hey good luck on your new adventure
I keep a fully grown frontosa with a 10 inch common pleco, 3 3 to 4 inch clown loaches and a 5 inch African knifefish. Idk if that’s supposed to work but they thrive together
Again excited to see your progress on the gallery!
Oscars: There’s safety in numbers! We don’t want to get bit!!! 👀
I'm so excited for the first fish to go in the new gallery every video the place really comes together well done joey
Just imagine if the tanks in the new gallery were massive like Sea world sized aquariums.
What really isn’t supposed to work is cherry shrimp in s pond that completely freezes over every winter. Still, they’re there again every spring.
Nice to see everyone getting along 👍🏼
I had a couple meet me (they're customers where I work) at a Fish/reptile store, and they had done what was considered impossible: They have a big school of small tetras in their 530 gallon aquarium with their Stingrays and Arowana. They just have a ton of hiding places.
the shell dwellers always keep me wanting them.. one day.. although those oscars .. never seen them so close together swimming.
I'm in love with your reef tank. And an upcoming reptile room? Can't wait for the reptiles! 🦎🐢🐍🐊
I've been watching all videos I love all the Fish you have. You opening a public Fish is really nice for the community. My Dad gave me this phone a couple months ago
This is going to be epic. Even though ill never be able to visit as i live in the UK. I simply cannot wait to see when everything is all set up and you finally have people coming in. Keep your dream going man, its certainly putting a smile on my face as well as a bunch more people too :D.
Hey Joey I have been watching you for a good while now and it is great to see you doing this new project and taking your time and testing. But we know you are going to change things, it's just in your DNA man😂
Love that you explore the Hobby…..
i've never seen oscars behave like that before lol
Really incredible you can build all that and still make videos at all! I know I couldn't do that. Great work!
I'm kinda excited to see what it will look like. Let's see how it goes
Ur idea with plants and rock are amazing
Hi, just wanted to let you know I received my copy of ur book yesterday. Thank you for everything you do!!
I have 2 Stars and Stripes puffers in separate aquariums... and eventually they will kill most everything in the tank with them, not at first but eventually they will... keep an eye out for that brother! Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
I think this oscar-puffer experiment is brilliant.
I’ve kept a black ghost knife (still young and growing until around 25cm) and a Peter Alexander elephant nose together in a 150L community tank, they didn’t often bother each other but it wasn’t unusual for them to be swimming along together whilst foraging
Your my hero I have learnt so much from you lots of love from Stamford England I’m hoping to get your book for Christmas
Both my super overgrown guppy tanks haven't had water changes in over a year. Parameters are great. Tanks look like overgrown gardens but the fry have lots of hiding places.
Excited for you! You got me into the hobby and would die for that building you have. Follow your dream very inspiring
Give us videos when you want to give us videos, don't forget you have to love making them as well, don't burn yourself out to please someone else, take care of you first and your happiness, then worry about the rest! ❤️
I like the plants on the wall!
Ive kept angels with mabunas 😅 absolutely perfect
I've often wondered about doing that myself, but was always too nervous. Interesting.
Gallery is looking clean
Rocks and plants on the wall would look cool. All of one would be over kill.
The place looks better and better every bay! Love from Hungary!🥳
I've never seen Oscars behave like that😂 they look amazing swimming together like that. 😍
I like seeing they shoaling. It's like they group together to look like one really big and intimidating fish, to discourage predators.
Them oscars are terrified of tyrese lmao
Reptile room???? So excited
Love from Bangladesh ❤️❤️
You gotta do a video on how to take care of a stingray!!Love your videos man!
Absolutely phenomenal
Fahaka is always it may work for a while , maybe a long time but eventually it will get its tank mates. Friend had one with a knife fish for a year before it happened
For the light mounts @ the gallery, I would run cable or small chain from the top of L-bracket to the end of the wood to stop them from eventually sagging. Just an idea.
I have had a ghost knife in a large tank with a red ear slider for over a year now
Looks killer for about 2 weeks and 2 people. Mostly 1 person... but she helped. Lol 😆 but cant wait for more. Your still king and rocking.
I honestly can not wait for this and hopefully you are going to be able to do this for alit longer
An idea popped up while you were panning over the entire room from the stairs. That "loft" like space above that entrance or closet on the right, might be a a place to have a wall sized Paludarium, with beautiful tropical plants up there in the sun, overhanging the wall and into a large shallow tank with more plants, water or maybe a reptile/amphibian enclosure. Just an idea. Cheers from Arizona.
I keep tiny oto cats with full grown angels. They share a large Amazon sword together.
Hi Joey it’s looking awesome. I would do like a coral wall where you going to put the salt water tanks.
I personally don’t do water changes at all in my reef tank. Only testing daily and dosing accordingly. Works for me
I’ve got an Oscar and a Green Terror in with my peacocks and haps. Been together for over a year now and never had an issue
Imma have to plan a trip to Canada. By the time I have the money to go there, the gallery should open by then lol
Alot of loves for you from your Iranian fans here, can’t wait for them 😍😍
Plants wrapping around the lights all the cool
i think a nice inclusion to fill in some of the open spot where you cant put big tanks would be some 10/15/20 gallon micro tanks. maybe some shrimp, pencil fish, dart frogs, ect.
Joey you should paint the upper part black on the walls leave the blue on the bottom and it will make the tanks pop more
Much love as always! I wish I was there to help😉
This is going to look awesome when finished :D
Actually not. It would be absollutely phenomenal :)
I know the upstairs is private but I want to see that view when it's done!
Piranhas are my fav I kept it with zebra daniel and it went well LOVE FROM INDIA
This gallery made me join! :) best luck during making new gallery! As of „what shouldn’t work but it work” i have one answer- Senegal bichir with discus. Every discus entusiast will turn red by only thinking about weird fish with discus but if you ll think about it- bichir comes from shallow waters which most time of a year are really hot just like discus need hot water, bichirs are slow eaters and many times there is a difficulty to feed them when they are kept with CA or africans, with discus you have no problem. I have pair of discus with Senegal bichir in black water tank and it looks amazing, beautiful cetner piece fish and an odd one looking like weird child of fish and lizard :P both discus and bichir are albino
he loved the friends he ate last time
I love the Oscars schooling so tight. It was so cute!
Nice video 👍👍
