I'm really digging the Brackish Aquarium personally! All of our tanks hold a special place in our heart combining art and nature is very rewarding. Happy healthy fish is the byproduct of a job well done.
My favorite aquarium you have is actually the piranha tank, I just love the fact that the scape itself looks kinda dangerous. The anubias also add a lot making it look more natural, while keeping the focus on the wood. And off course red bellied piranha are just awesome, imo pretty looking fish that have a bad reputation that is not fully deserved. I myself only have one tank with: pearl gourami, candy cane tetra, kuhli loaches and hillstream loaches. Unfortunately I am not in a position to get a second tank
The Piranha tank is probably my favourite in the gallery, the way it’s lit really sets it off for me. My favourite tank I personally own is my 20L hillstream tank with 1 Reticulated Hillstream Loach, 8 Gold Mountian Minnows, and 8 Zebra Danios. A rock and wood heavy scape with minimal planting (Val and some mosses) and a powerhead giving it a circular river-like flow.
The intro to this video was absolutely adorable. ❤️ Anyway I’m simply enjoying this brackish tank. I’ve personally tried brackish tanks before especially to breed amano shrimp some years back and was never successful. The shrimp were doing their thing but I just couldn’t get the babies to survive. After multiple failed attempts and trying for about a year, I eventually gave up and decided fresh water is my thing. But now I am getting inspired again because of this video. Thank you for that. Love your content as always, I just personally hardly ever leave comments. 🤣
🤣😂 I love that I asked about the pond last video the first thing you drop on this one is the snow and frozen pond 🤣❄️🥶 love it man! That’s why I truly support your channel and get merch from you!
The colours in the brackish tank make it my favorite, but the oscars and piranha tanks are so close to being favorite also. Then you show the Tanganyika and the apistos and I'm like "Oh yeah, I like those too!". BTW I saw some full grown Archers at the sea life centre in Birmingham UK a few months back. I was surprised by how big they get!
I love the algea tank. That will be great if the fish start breeding in it. My favorite tank I have is a "medium barb" tank. It has Denison barbs, Striped Barbs and Rohanii tear drop barbs. I keep a huge filter, circulation pump and sponge filter for tons of aeration and the fish are constantly active.
The look and colour of the piranha tank make it a favourite for me, but also the fish because in Australia we can't have them. My favourite aquarium at home would be my australian native tank, which houses my two Macleay River Turtles, a small school of Macculloch's rainbowfish and a tandanus catfish, as well as a variety of native plants, snails and shrimp
Brackish is my favourite, remember reading about those fish as a child and thinking they are verry hard to keep. You make it look simple Joey. Like every pro in their field, looks simple. I guess thats the master class, make something hard looking simple.
All of your tanks are masterpieces, I believe that with every tank you make, you put a piece of yourself in it with all the time, energy, and thought you put into it, a piece of you just kind of stays there and that's really beautiful. They're all unique, to me it's like comparing apples and oranges, but I'm going to have to say you swept me away with the new brackish water community tank, I love the kind of fish you put in, and I can see from the little window you give us all into that fish room that those fish have beautiful personalities, and to me, that's the most important thing. Every one of your tanks is my favorite, I can't choose one, but if you're looking for ideas. A larger well scaped tank with a giant school of nano fish seems to work really well and get people's attention, especially fish that are really good at schooling, one of my personal favorite fish to do that with is cardinal tetras it's always breathtaking to see. It would be nice to see small fish get a good amount of space for once and I'm sure you could do that effortlessly
My favorite tank you have is the stingray tank. I’ve ALWAYS wanted a Ray, man! ALWAYS! But the squares here in Florida won’t allow it to be purchased or kept. Oh well. I just started up my 125 gallon drilled freshwater tank back in April and I LOVE IT! I got this whole tank, stand, sump, lights and decor at a SCREAMIN DEAL of only 275 bucks and since-forth I’ve done TON of custom woodworking to the stand and built my own custom canopy that’ll blow your mind! I’ll see if I can do a quick video and post it so you can check it out on my page. This tank is STUNNING! And as an extra I got a 40 gallon that I built a custom background for and custom canopy for it as well. I’ll do videos for both. You’ll love it, Joey!
2k aquarium is my favorite so far. It literally inspired me to turn my 120 aquarium into a community tank. Just the whole flow and the different personalities and actions is second to none. But keep all these aquariums coming
I know what you mean about getting lost in your aquariums.... I'll go feed the fish in our bedroom tanks & 30 min later I have to make myself stop staring & go eat diner or I'll be in there all night. It's so addictive. Your tanks are truly so beautiful each in their own way.... hard to compare them. The simplicity of your Oscar tank, & the range of emotion it brings out has to make it my favorite.
Favorite is the brackish because I asked you to do one months ago before you did and you liked the comment and ended up doing it and getting archers like I suggested.
Really digging the Oscar tank. I have never kept Oscars; I’ve been into aquariums for 30 years. I’m thinking I might need to now. One of my favorite tanks was filled with freshwater crabs; really fun to watch them. They are really full of personality. Perfect for a 40 gallon
I just started a new 180 with a Black Silver Arowana, 2 Oscars, a Flagtail, and a 6 pack of Clown Loaches. They are all small right now and starting to grow out. A really weird combo but I haven't had any aggression problems at all + the tank is flourishing as of now.
I don’t have a favourite aqaurium, because all the fish looks so happy in your tanks. However, Joey is my favourite aquarium-youtuber without any question.
You truly are the King of DIY! My favorite tank is my 29 gal. Any of your tanks are amazing I think the algae tank is my favorite, those apistos look fantastic too.
I only have the one Aquarium, it's a bit small, no where near your scale, but it's not tiny. I keep some Otocinclus, a lone Farowella acus (he's in dire need of some friends) a small group of diamond rainbows, some cherry barbs (I even have a baby) and a small group of Botia sidthimunki. I have two types of amazon sword leaf plants, as well as a huge bushy one and tentacle like one that is kinda everywhere. In almost the center of the tank I used two relatively large pieces of mangrove wood to make a tower like structure and sat some anubias on top of it. It may not be the coolest tank in the world, but it's mine and that makes it special.
I could never choose a favorite here. The idea of making morning coffee and entering this space.... 😍 We have all nano tanks right now with 75s in progress. The house favorite is a 5gal portrait tank that looks a lot like the brackish tank - an underwater forest, but ours is heavily planted with mosses, java fern and Jungle val. Home to chili endlers, kuhli loaches, neocaradina shrimp we raised (blue and chocolate), a dwarf crayfish and a baby calico pleco that is just visiting. It's hit the sweet spot and we get mesmerized watching breeding of the endlers and shrimp... sometimes even the loaches!
I think your piraña tank is the best. The lighting is perfect, the colouring is kinda sinister and matches the narrative of these fish! Don’t get me wrong, the brackish is beautiful too, and who couldn’t love the oscars who are stars in their tank! But that piraña tank is what I’d love to copy! I’m actually in the middle of my first ever tank build (thanks for the inspiration) and I’ve got as far as getting all the acrylic cemented together. It’s very much a tiny tank though as a 10 gallon cube but I like the idea of a dark partially planted tank with shoaling tetras flashing their colours!
My favorite tank is my threadfin rainbow tank. It’s heavily planted which lets them dart in and out of the plants all day which is very fun to watch and also good for them as well
I say the word Aquarium like 5-10 times a day :) When I see your aquariums, I couldn’t ever say that I have a favorite one because every fish has its own character and it’s own behavior. Eg in one tank a have the betta couple with some shrimps in it and although the bettas could easily eat the shrimps, they don’t even touch them. And it’s just so fascinating to watch every fish by itself, how it eats, how it breads and how it moves. That’s why every fish keeper should not have only one aquarium.
My 125g African peacock / hap tank is my favorite out of my 4 tanks. I have kept fish for 30 years but only started this tank a few years ago. They are beautiful and active and sometimes mean as hell but what a blast they are!
Piranha tank love the dark water definitely gives me vibes of the amazon. I have a 75 gallon Caribbean reef tank focusing on fish and corals from the Caribbean
This tank intrigues me the most as it's always been in my plans to do a native tank (to Australia) with archers once I'm done with my goldfish. Fun story, our local zoo has a massive brackish tank, and other than the archers, the fish that impressed me the most was the barramundi (each easily was a metre in length). My favourite tank of yours, would have to be the Lake Tanganyika tank - who would have thought of putting shell dwellers with frontosa!? Of my tanks, my favourite is my goldfish tank. It's very minimalist, one large red desert rock on one side with smaller rocks on the other side of the tank to resemble a shelled out boulder, completed with white sand as the substrate, blue background and no plants (aka expensive salad for said goldfish). In spite of its minimalist look, it's the tank I've put my most time and money into. Everything other than the rocks and the tank itself was made thanks to yourself
I saw all 3 of these fish for sale at a fish store about an hour away from me. If I had a bigger tank I probably would of bought them all lol. These really are amazing fish to watch. This tank looks fantastic
I just love the look of all your tanks. Whenever I try to decorate a tank, it never looks right. So I will continue to watch your videos and be amazed on how they all look. Merry Christmas
Im in the same boat as you as all my tanks are my favorite. Love my pea/hap tank for the color. Love my angelfish tank for the beauty and breeding. Love my pea puffer tank for the cuteness lol. Love my dragon puffer tank for the ease and rareness. Love my shrimp tank to see all the micro life that it has. Love my reef tank for the neon looking colors. A person should love all their tanks for different reasons. This gallery has made the biggest come-up. Keep it up!!!
I have to say your brackish tank is stunning, everything about is right. Out of my 12 own tanks, my favourite is also 200 litre brackish housing green spotted puffers, with a large lava rock scape through the centre, with a red light underneath to give the hot lava look, and also fake plants either end as the puffers like these, I chose lava as it’s also a great media, love your work 👍🇬🇧👍
The oscar tank is definitely my favorite but I'm probably being biased as well. I had an oscar. She passed in February. Before I had Amber I didn't care for cichlids at all. But I got an oscar which is a cichlid because I wanted more experience with different fish before I go for more higher end fish like gars, stingrays, etc. Having Amber, oscars became my favorite fish. My favorite in home aquarium isn't actually an aquarium. It's an indoor pond. I got a little giants livestock trough from peavy mart. It's 100g and is made of thick black plastic. I use two of your diy filters on it. One is a 5g bucket filled with plastic pot scrubbies on top of lava rock powered by a 75 air pump. The other is a power head on a bottle filled with ceramics. I use a mix of play sand and white aquarium sand for substrate. A few rocks we found at the river and a bunch of silk plants. It houses 3 single tail goldfish. A comet from a feeder tank. At the store he looked super healthy and had nice long finage already so pulled him, quarantined for 4 months and introduced him to the 2 already inhabiting the pond. The other two are a shubunkin and a sarasa. By far my favorite setup. Especially since it's 4ft from my gaming chair so I can sit back and watch them all day. Only down side is it is very difficult to not give them a ton of little snacks. Lol. Your lovely girlfriend wants guppies right? Well maybe let her have an indoor guppy pond. Hint hint. I'd love to see her have her own system with her own fish and her own scape. You've brought her a long way into the fishy world. Take it that one extra step. Push her into the deep end. You know you want to.
My current favorite tank I have is my lake Tanganyika with cyprichromis leptosoma black bees and gold occies at the bottom. Watching the dominant male cyp color up and do the mate dance around the females never gets old lol. Very unique and nothing like them out there.
My favourite tank of mine is a blackwater biotope, 300l, it has a very naturalistic look since the bottom is covered in about 2 inches of black gravel and on top of that gravel there is like 4 inches of potting soil that you would find in any gardening shop(I made sure it didn't containt anything harmful), the soil just made my plants go absolutely nuts(some floaters, water lily and some really bushy plant of which I forgot the name of) and yes, for the first 2 days the water was completely black but after 2 full water changes and some scooping of floating stuff it turned a really nice, red tea color, the soil also contained some invertebrate eggs (some small flat snails and some weird flat worms that are like 1-2 inches in length that seem to be harmless, they never leave the soil), the fish have also done amazing, not even one loss from 20 neon tetras 20 serpae tetras and 2 gold gouramis, for the decor I used a lot of long, slender, twisting branches a little bit of leaf litter and some flat pieces of bark that create some little hiding places. I would describe the whole aesthetic of the aquarium as a creepy but peaceful lake bottom
My favorite of yours.... hmmm tge Archer tank. My personal tank... my GS puffer tank (crushed substrate, lots of plants, river rock formations) simple but clean and he loves it!
My favorite that I own is my 54L planted tank with strawberry rasbora and shadow mosura cardinia shrimp with 2 pompom crabs. It’s beside my desk and I always look at it while studying and it’s so relaxing to watch the shrimp forage and the rasbora swimming around
My fav: the 2k without a doubt! I have a community live bearer tank with various swordtails, guppies, mollies, etc. Heavily planted and some of the babies manage to not get eaten and grow up in the tank.
Definitely the brackish water tank, it’s beautiful and busy. My favorite personal tank is one that I have created that is created completely out of petrified wood and white sand. I have massive pieces of petrified wood that sit in white sand with Repens growing everywhere. I stock it with Guppies, because they are active, easy and beautiful. But petrified wood really sets the tank off when algae grows in the cracks and crevices.
Gotta say my favorite is the Lake Tanganyika tank, I love the scape and I'm a huge fan of shell dwellers. I have a 65 gallon Tanganyika tank, my shell dweller of choice are Meleagris. My current favorite personal tank our 6' 110g odd ball tank, lots of drift wood a few rocks lots of tall flowing plants with black sand substrate. It's home to snakehead gudgeon, Buffalo head cichlid, peacock eel, e.b. acara, geo, bichir and datnoid, all are juveniles.
Your Oscar tank looks very elegant, love it's simplicity! Also a big fan of the Tanganyika tank. I've got a 3x3 foot cube tank full of Malawi cichlids and various coloured rocks. That I love. Currently converting a 40 Gallon breeder into a saltwater mini reef. Using your style of all in one filters in the back.
right now the brackish is my favorite. my favorite tank is a group of congo tetras with cardinal, albino neo tetras and shrimp all over the bottom in a heavily planted tank.
I can't pick a favorite, there all amazing!!!. A tank I recently built is what I call my "window well" aquarium. I converted my basement egress window well into an aquarium. It turned out phenomenal!!!!!
My favorite tank form your aquariums is the brackish water with archers. Absolutely amazing! And my favorite aquarium that i own is my 65gal Negative Space Aquascape reef tank. Saltwater took over my life😂 all the corals are just breathtaking and the fish act so much different than freshwater. I love all fish and tanks! Great job on all your tanks!
The 2000 gal is my favorite. The tank I'm working on (my bad back slows me down) is a 17 gal tall. It will have Endlers and pigmy Corydoras. Merry Christmas, and may God bless.
I love the oscar tank I'm interested to see how it matures, my bucket list tank is a bumblebee Oscar tank, but I decided to remodel my entire house instead for the time being. My son and I made a 20 gal planted Orange Flash Apistogramma pair tank with so much personality on display, there's so much to love. recently we picked up a locally bred lemon bristle nose pleco and some otologist cats to finish the tank. We started it a few years ago and it impresses me every day.
To me Joey being 100% with you and ive been following you now for about 3yrs until today no aquarium has the visual of the brackish it just seems like its not a tank if you look up close to it feels like your in the river under water and looking at the fish outstanding cant wait to see what you do with the salt water tank.P.S waiting to see i have a 125 waiting on you im debating to go fresh or salt hopefully you show us how to setup salt aquarium the easy and cheap way like you do with everything else cheers my friend from Brampton,Ontario.
I fellI in love with your Oscars when you first got them .They are by far my favorite, but that’s not fair I love all your aquariums.You make it very difficult not to love each one . So happy with what your doing with each aquarium, and how you Present them in your videos .and it’s not difficult to see that other side of you that has been hidden for a long time. Happy and content that’s what I see in you Joey. ( Also see what love from a great woman does for you ) Thank you Tamara !!!! ❤️ 🤗😻
2000 gallon is my favorite. I have 2 50 gallon tanks linked together with an overflow. I have 2 tangs and seahorses. Since the water is shared between 2 tanks I am also able to grow corals in my other tank which has other needs. I used to keep sharks, snowflake eels, groupers, rays.
I use tank, the tank size like "6 footer" or those that call it home, like "the shrimp tank". I never got into the whole terrarium, aquarium, serpentarium, vivarium, riparium, paludarium, herpetarium or bantamarium terminology. I see it more of a barrier for new people taking onboard more meaningful and essential information about the hobby. P.S. love the into mate. big smiles all round.
I say "tank" a ton more than I say "aquarium", my favorite aquarium you have is the shell dweller tank 😍 my favorite aquarium at home is my 13 gal pea puffer tank with 6 puffers, driftwood I collected from the beach, nice grey stones, sword plants, java fern, a yellow leaved stem plant I cant remember the name of, and a small patch of weeping moss
The Oscar tank is probably my favorite for the scape. Simple with varying colors and it highlights the fish so well. For the stocking, I love South American fish, so I would say the 2000.
I say Aquarium maybe 1 to 5 a day! Lol. I love your shell dweller tanks cause 1, I love that you are trying to see the difference in behavior between them! 2, I started watching you when you were building that shell dweller office aquarium and I love those fish! I’m currently building a similar tank. Right now my favorite tank is my 29g cube planted shrimp tank. Love the way it looks and I built the stand after being inspired to do so after watching one of your videos.
My favorite tank of yours is definitely the 2000. Now that you have a vast variety it is amazing
The brackish has to be my favourite. The Scape, the fish, all of it. It's just phenomenal.
I'm really digging the Brackish Aquarium personally! All of our tanks hold a special place in our heart combining art and nature is very rewarding. Happy healthy fish is the byproduct of a job well done.
My favorite aquarium you have is actually the piranha tank, I just love the fact that the scape itself looks kinda dangerous. The anubias also add a lot making it look more natural, while keeping the focus on the wood. And off course red bellied piranha are just awesome, imo pretty looking fish that have a bad reputation that is not fully deserved.
I myself only have one tank with: pearl gourami, candy cane tetra, kuhli loaches and hillstream loaches. Unfortunately I am not in a position to get a second tank
Best intro for a long time. She's a keeper!

Man the Oscar tank is truly the bomb tank. I hope I can have Oscar as nice and big as you have.

And as an extra I got a 40 gallon that I built a custom background for and custom canopy for it as well. I’ll do videos for both. You’ll love it, Joey!
I absolutely LOVE how the Blackbeard algae looks, I’ve only removed it in the past if it’s harmed my plants. But I love when it covers wood and rock!
I was agreeing with you on the brackish being the favorite tank, and then you panned to to the piranha tank. That one is FOR CERTAIN my favorite
2k aquarium is my favorite so far. It literally inspired me to turn my 120 aquarium into a community tank. Just the whole flow and the different personalities and actions is second to none. But keep all these aquariums coming
Loved the Intro! Obsessed that Tamara is part of the pod! ♥️
I just posted the latest. its a GREAT one
@@thekingofdiy yup, 34 minutes in so far!
lol, Loved the intro! Love ALL the aquariums also!

Awesome intro braddah J it was like watching an opening to my favorite TV SHOW “Family Ties” 🤙🏽🤙🏽😂 favorite aquarium by far is the Lake Tang🤜🏽💥🤛🏽

I adore the brackish tank soooo much. But the Oscar tank is serene & powerful. Love them all.
My favorite too. I'm following you years now, and you're still the best. Keep making ours hobby beautiful. From Cyprus 🇨🇾 🦈
I could never choose a favorite here. The idea of making morning coffee and entering this space.... 😍
We have all nano tanks right now with 75s in progress. The house favorite is a 5gal portrait tank that looks a lot like the brackish tank - an underwater forest, but ours is heavily planted with mosses, java fern and Jungle val.

I say the word Aquarium like 5-10 times a day :)

My 125g African peacock / hap tank is my favorite out of my 4 tanks. I have kept fish for 30 years but only started this tank a few years ago. They are beautiful and active and sometimes mean as hell but what a blast they are!
The 2,000 gal. pond has got to be my fav. You have given it multiple makeovers and it's still just as amazing now as the first time I saw it.
Loved the start of this video lol
The 2000! It looks like a real slice of nature to me, with the various schools and tons of space.
Piranha tank love the dark water definitely gives me vibes of the amazon.
I have a 75 gallon Caribbean reef tank focusing on fish and corals from the Caribbean
My favorite aquarium is the 2000 for sure. I love all your aquariums but that one to me is a masterpiece. I love it!
This tank intrigues me the most as it's always been in my plans to do a native tank (to Australia) with archers once I'm done with my goldfish.

In spite of its minimalist look, it's the tank I've put my most time and money into. Everything other than the rocks and the tank itself was made thanks to yourself
Where do you get all your saltwater stuff in the maritimes? I'm looking into starting but concerned I may not have availability to everything I need
I love the shell dweller tanks. I would love to keep some shell dweller, if I had the resources. They are so interesting to watch!
I saw all 3 of these fish for sale at a fish store about an hour away from me. If I had a bigger tank I probably would of bought them all lol. These really are amazing fish to watch. This tank looks fantastic
That intro ❤🐈☕❄🐠❤
I think this is by far my favorite tank I’ve seen recently! You did a wonderful job!
Loved the intro!
I just love the look of all your tanks. Whenever I try to decorate a tank, it never looks right. So I will continue to watch your videos and be amazed on how they all look. Merry Christmas
Those scats are special man, archers also insane. Dream tank material there
Beautiful couple.
Definitely my favorite aquarium you've had so far! It's so beautiful!
That was a great intro omg, wish my life was that flawless!
Im in the same boat as you as all my tanks are my favorite. Love my pea/hap tank for the color. Love my angelfish tank for the beauty and breeding. Love my pea puffer tank for the cuteness lol. Love my dragon puffer tank for the ease and rareness. Love my shrimp tank to see all the micro life that it has. Love my reef tank for the neon looking colors. A person should love all their tanks for different reasons. This gallery has made the biggest come-up. Keep it up!!!
I have to say your brackish tank is stunning, everything about is right. Out of my 12 own tanks, my favourite is also 200 litre brackish housing green spotted puffers, with a large lava rock scape through the centre, with a red light underneath to give the hot lava look, and also fake plants either end as the puffers like these, I chose lava as it’s also a great media, love your work 👍🇬🇧👍
The oscar tank is definitely my favorite but I'm probably being biased as well. I had an oscar. She passed in February. Before I had Amber I didn't care for cichlids at all. But I got an oscar which is a cichlid because I wanted more experience with different fish before I go for more higher end fish like gars, stingrays, etc. Having Amber, oscars became my favorite fish. My favorite in home aquarium isn't actually an aquarium. It's an indoor pond. I got a little giants livestock trough from peavy mart. It's 100g and is made of thick black plastic. I use two of your diy filters on it. One is a 5g bucket filled with plastic pot scrubbies on top of lava rock powered by a 75 air pump. The other is a power head on a bottle filled with ceramics. I use a mix of play sand and white aquarium sand for substrate. A few rocks we found at the river and a bunch of silk plants. It houses 3 single tail goldfish. A comet from a feeder tank. At the store he looked super healthy and had nice long finage already so pulled him, quarantined for 4 months and introduced him to the 2 already inhabiting the pond. The other two are a shubunkin and a sarasa. By far my favorite setup. Especially since it's 4ft from my gaming chair so I can sit back and watch them all day. Only down side is it is very difficult to not give them a ton of little snacks. Lol. Your lovely girlfriend wants guppies right? Well maybe let her have an indoor guppy pond. Hint hint. I'd love to see her have her own system with her own fish and her own scape. You've brought her a long way into the fishy world. Take it that one extra step. Push her into the deep end. You know you want to.
My current favorite tank I have is my lake Tanganyika with cyprichromis leptosoma black bees and gold occies at the bottom. Watching the dominant male cyp color up and do the mate dance around the females never gets old lol. Very unique and nothing like them out there.
My favourite tank of mine is a blackwater biotope, 300l, it has a very naturalistic look since the bottom is covered in about 2 inches of black gravel and on top of that gravel there is like 4 inches of potting soil that you would find in any gardening shop(I made sure it didn't containt anything harmful), the soil just made my plants go absolutely nuts(some floaters, water lily and some really bushy plant of which I forgot the name of) and yes, for the first 2 days the water was completely black but after 2 full water changes and some scooping of floating stuff it turned a really nice, red tea color, the soil also contained some invertebrate eggs (some small flat snails and some weird flat worms that are like 1-2 inches in length that seem to be harmless, they never leave the soil), the fish have also done amazing, not even one loss from 20 neon tetras 20 serpae tetras and 2 gold gouramis, for the decor I used a lot of long, slender, twisting branches a little bit of leaf litter and some flat pieces of bark that create some little hiding places. I would describe the whole aesthetic of the aquarium as a creepy but peaceful lake bottom
My favorite of yours.... hmmm tge Archer tank. My personal tank... my GS puffer tank (crushed substrate, lots of plants, river rock formations) simple but clean and he loves it!
May I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and Thankyou for all your videos over the past year... xxx
Wow, this aquarium is so BEAUTIFUL!
My favorite that I own is my 54L planted tank with strawberry rasbora and shadow mosura cardinia shrimp with 2 pompom crabs. It’s beside my desk and I always look at it while studying and it’s so relaxing to watch the shrimp forage and the rasbora swimming around
My fav: the 2k without a doubt!
I have a community live bearer tank with various swordtails, guppies, mollies, etc. Heavily planted and some of the babies manage to not get eaten and grow up in the tank.
Definitely the brackish water tank, it’s beautiful and busy. My favorite personal tank is one that I have created that is created completely out of petrified wood and white sand. I have massive pieces of petrified wood that sit in white sand with Repens growing everywhere. I stock it with Guppies, because they are active, easy and beautiful. But petrified wood really sets the tank off when algae grows in the cracks and crevices.
There is no one that is in your level😍 Thank you for all you do!!!!!
Gotta say my favorite is the Lake Tanganyika tank, I love the scape and I'm a huge fan of shell dwellers. I have a 65 gallon Tanganyika tank, my shell dweller of choice are Meleagris.
My current favorite personal tank our 6' 110g odd ball tank, lots of drift wood a few rocks lots of tall flowing plants with black sand substrate. It's home to snakehead gudgeon, Buffalo head cichlid, peacock eel, e.b. acara, geo, bichir and datnoid, all are juveniles.
I think someones in Love
Your Oscar tank looks very elegant, love it's simplicity! Also a big fan of the Tanganyika tank.
I've got a 3x3 foot cube tank full of Malawi cichlids and various coloured rocks. That I love.
Currently converting a 40 Gallon breeder into a saltwater mini reef. Using your style of all in one filters in the back.
right now the brackish is my favorite.
my favorite tank is a group of congo tetras with cardinal, albino neo tetras and shrimp all over the bottom in a heavily planted tank.
It's great that you have so many "favorite" tanks. That's the way it should be.
I can't pick a favorite, there all amazing!!!. A tank I recently built is what I call my "window well" aquarium. I converted my basement egress window well into an aquarium. It turned out phenomenal!!!!!
Piranha aquarium is my favorite after that is the Archers. Definitely enjoy them all , keep up the awesome work .
I LOVE the tree trunks you have in that tank. Did you make those yourself? If so, how? I missed the setup video for this tank.
My favorite tank form your aquariums is the brackish water with archers. Absolutely amazing! And my favorite aquarium that i own is my 65gal Negative Space Aquascape reef tank. Saltwater took over my life😂 all the corals are just breathtaking and the fish act so much different than freshwater. I love all fish and tanks! Great job on all your tanks!
The 2000 gal is my favorite. The tank I'm working on (my bad back slows me down) is a 17 gal tall. It will have Endlers and pigmy Corydoras. Merry Christmas, and may God bless.
The "freshwater" moray eel is brackish too. They would be an awesome addition to that tank.
I love the oscar tank I'm interested to see how it matures, my bucket list tank is a bumblebee Oscar tank, but I decided to remodel my entire house instead for the time being. My son and I made a 20 gal planted Orange Flash Apistogramma pair tank with so much personality on display, there's so much to love. recently we picked up a locally bred lemon bristle nose pleco and some otologist cats to finish the tank. We started it a few years ago and it impresses me every day.
Great video. Love the intro. I also have archer fish that love to spray water at me to get my attention.
I love them all but by far my absolute favourite is and always will be the 2000, it’s just epic!!!
I can not pick a favorite. I love all your aquariums! I love all mine too.
Beautiful Aquarium had brackish water years ago all tanks are my favorite. Love the algae tank. Great Video. 😎👍
To me Joey being 100% with you and ive been following you now for about 3yrs until today no aquarium has the visual of the brackish it just seems like its not a tank if you look up close to it feels like your in the river under water and looking at the fish outstanding cant wait to see what you do with the salt water tank.P.S waiting to see i have a 125 waiting on you im debating to go fresh or salt hopefully you show us how to setup salt aquarium the easy and cheap way like you do with everything else cheers my friend from Brampton,Ontario.
I saw aquarium like 10 times a day. My fav of your is Frontosa w shell dweller. I keep Multies shelldwellers in fluval flex tanks
My favorite is your Piranha tank.
It gives me ideas for mine to improve it.
Also would love to see it in person
I love algae! All of them. I know so many people hate them, but I think they're cool and they look natural. Algae is beneficial too.💚
I fellI in love with your Oscars when you first got them .They are by far my favorite, but that’s not fair I love all your aquariums.You make it very difficult not to love each one . So happy with what your doing with each aquarium, and how you Present them in your videos .and it’s not difficult to see that other side of you that has been hidden for a long time. Happy and content that’s what I see in you Joey.
( Also see what love from a great woman does for you ) Thank you Tamara !!!! ❤️ 🤗😻
The algae covered tank is amazing! Leave it!! So natural!
2000 gallon is my favorite. I have 2 50 gallon tanks linked together with an overflow. I have 2 tangs and seahorses. Since the water is shared between 2 tanks I am also able to grow corals in my other tank which has other needs. I used to keep sharks, snowflake eels, groupers, rays.
I use tank, the tank size like "6 footer" or those that call it home, like "the shrimp tank".
I never got into the whole terrarium, aquarium, serpentarium, vivarium, riparium, paludarium, herpetarium or bantamarium terminology.
I see it more of a barrier for new people taking onboard more meaningful and essential information about the hobby.
P.S. love the into mate. big smiles all round.
Absolutely phenomenal! Love this tank very unique fish
Fantastic video as always can you give a bit of a description on how you have the the upright tree trunks in the tank they look awesome. Cheers KIM
Hello Joey, I saw the same Archer fish setup with monos and scats in a public aquarium near me, they had also added green spotted puffer in it
Mone is the 2000 community tank. Add beautiful music and it's so peaceful and soothing. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I say "tank" a ton more than I say "aquarium", my favorite aquarium you have is the shell dweller tank 😍 my favorite aquarium at home is my 13 gal pea puffer tank with 6 puffers, driftwood I collected from the beach, nice grey stones, sword plants, java fern, a yellow leaved stem plant I cant remember the name of, and a small patch of weeping moss
The Oscar tank is probably my favorite for the scape. Simple with varying colors and it highlights the fish so well. For the stocking, I love South American fish, so I would say the 2000.
Love your passion!
I say Aquarium maybe 1 to 5 a day! Lol. I love your shell dweller tanks cause 1, I love that you are trying to see the difference in behavior between them! 2, I started watching you when you were building that shell dweller office aquarium and I love those fish! I’m currently building a similar tank. Right now my favorite tank is my 29g cube planted shrimp tank. Love the way it looks and I built the stand after being inspired to do so after watching one of your videos.
