Joey: My friend, Rache- Me: YEEEEES! This is the collaboration I didn't know I needed until it happened. I've been sick, but this video has cheered me up a lot. Thanks, Joey and Rachel!
This is awesome! I only just started watching recently after I got my betta and got bit by "the bug". I lost my dog in Nov 2016 and I shattered. I went from a Dean's List student to barely passing. I stopped sleeping. I stopped caring. I felt like I was trapped in the wrong life. Then one day I said, "Why don't we get a betta?" I'm terrible with fish! I thought it would excite me to learn. And it did. I learned about cycling, I've been doing a fish-in with the help of some wonderful people, and being needed helped me heal. I am at the part of the cycle that requires constant monitoring and daily large-scale water changes. The distraction has helped, but more than that, I have been watching my betta begin to thrive in my care. He started getting color, his fins are growing back, feeding him and interacting with him is a high point in my day every day. We are already planning our next tank, plus taking on live plants in the betta setup. My tragedy turned into a happy ending thanks to a simple little betta fish.
Joey! Your fish room has come such a long way! Im gonna be honest i haven’t kept up with your channel as much as i used too but every time i watch a new video im in awe over how far you’ve come. Merry christmas joey!
Finally you 2 make fish videos together. ❤❤❤ my 2 favourite fish geeks on UA-cam. You both have helped me so many times with information on fish and how to build info. Perfect Christmas gift
Posted on Rachaels interview with you, but equally goes to you and all others in the public eye, whose hard work and dedication benefits the aquarium world: Success will always attract negative feelings and comments from some. Im sure it's hard (impossible maybe?) not to be affected by these and I'll guess it makes you sad to experience these negatives sometimes. There's no way to avoid these, but the vast majority of your viewers feel so positive and appreciative of everything you're doing, that I hope these positives will always outweigh the negatives and lift you up when you might otherwise feel down. On your side of the lens, you step in front of a camera, but on our side, you step into our lives. You help us with our struggles, you improve our knowledge and raise our skills, you entertain us and lift our spirits when our own days may have not gone so well. That knowledge you provide improves the welfare and lives of our pets, and through word of mouth, even those of many hobbyists who never even see your channels. Your videos bring you into our lives and that makes you part of them. Due to this, the vast majority of us actually care about you as people. We want to hear of your struggles when things are hard, we want to hear of your losses when they've made you sad, we want to help and give something back, even if that's just some words of support to help lift you up when times are hard. Keep up the hard work and dedication guys, it's doing much more than maybe you even realise for this hobby of ours.
Good to hear what Rachel has to say about your gallery first hand. I've always wanted your gallery to be visited by other fishkeepers and hear their view. This one is really awesome.
Enjoyed your tour tremendously! Your tanks are incredibly unique in their aspects. Great features and form in all your tanks. You have a great perception on what fish needs what look. Frank is adorable and looks like you could dive right in and cuddle him forever! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Thank you.
This is great Joey!!! Hope more youtubers come to visit!!! Make Jenny come... She is in Minnesota!!! Also making videos soon on my arowana, stingray, Flowerhorn and Discus!!! Still have some more name suggestions!!!
Aww he's just excited and enthusiastic about it and it pops in his head then straight out his mouth i have this problem when i talk about my fish too :)
Great seeing you and Rachel working together, I been watching both channels for awhile now you too HV been very informative for me I would like to thank you both for the love you share!
Everytime I watch his gallery room I think his 2000g tank would have looked better in the other corner It would have made the room look a bit less crowded and the entrance with more space between the first wall and the aquariums side
My man, I have had a fish tank for most of my life, I found earlier this year! I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences in the hobby, keep up the good work! I’m up to 3 tanks now but 70gal also on the way to join my 20g fry tank, 90gal and 40 gal. I live in 2 bedroom thinking will need to move in bigger place soon if my breeding plans go forward. I got some black convicts cichlids and got lucky at petsmart and got some decent looking ones, just transferred 115 fry to 20gal with 40+ still with parents in 90gal could get to others, planning to choose most colourful ones to breed. Planing to get discus tho still trying to find some close to me. I’m even going to start a daphnia colony as well. You have many questions I didn’t know I had, you are a fountain of information and I thank you. From Kingston Ontario
I love the dragon tank! Whew! I'm not sure how rays and bichirs interact but I think having bichirs in there would make it an outstanding dragon tank. :)
Hell yeah I love her! I really appreciate the wisdom and opinions of all fishkeepers but she’s also such an inspiration for me in a bit of a male dominated hobby. I love all your videos Joey but this is such a nice surprise!
Merry Christmas to you and yours......the gallery is looking amazing. If I had that 375 gal. tank, strange as it may sound, I would put in fancy guppies, neon tetras, and LOTS of different kinds of shrimp.
Yay! Nice to a Tropheus tank in your collection. However this myth that one needs to over crowd a tank is not dying easely. I’ve started with just a few individuals and grown my group. I’ve also started with juveniles and let the groups develop. It’s not at all needed to start with so many. However food is the most important aspect of keeping tropheus. Unfortynally many still recomend e.g. shrimp mixes for their food. But they can’t stand any animalistic protein at all. So buying food for them is not easy as even food that targets thropheus contain animalistic ingredients. Tropheus can be keept and breed with improper food, I’ve done that too. But sooner or later their intestines will be damaged. That is by far the trickiest part with keeping tropheus especially if one wants to keep other fish with them.
Great video and I love all the fish moving your planning. I agree the rainbows will help the louch tank out. Can't wait to find out what's going in the 375
Fired Up Awesomeness!!! I’d like to see more special guest appearances, Jenny or Dustin? Lived seeing Rachel reaction and hearing her opinion on the gallery.
You know, out of all the fish youtubers I've been watching, I haven't seen anyone with swordtails and that really surprises me with how beautiful they are. Maybe once I get my tanks set back up I'll start making videos on them. Love all your tanks though! You, Soild gold, rachel, and taylor dean have all kinda inspired me to get back into the hobby. I haven't had fish in almost 3 years just cause college kinda took over my life along with my mammal animals. Once we move next year I have plans for setting up 3 different tanks :) Love your videos! they give me ideas for aquascaping!
Ppl who would never be able to own one, and it would be a unique youtube. Plus there a lot of other things here where you watch his fish grow for years anywau
No the limited scraping supplies worked in your favor. You got creative and it paid off. I love the interaction of your fish with the environment. I hope the 375 gets something that uses the branches instead of the open space. Though it's a blast to see your ray hide. Camouflaged and shy fish really catch my eye in these videos. Something I hadn't learn from own experience yet.
Very nice set up of your galley, enjoy watching all your video. quick question what is that thing with cord attached, half inside the tank, looks like there is prop in it? Thank you and merry christmas
I love all of your tanks but that rainbow 375 tank is just gorgeous! They are looking so good, and the ray in there is adorable. She looks like she has short little legs and is jumping up and down (like a puppy) when u go over to the tank..lol. I would hang out with that tank (and the frank tank of course), all the time if I was there!
Today we tour the aquarium gallery and take a look at all my fish and fish tanks with a SPECIAL GUEST!
Rachels channel: ua-cam.com/users/msjinkzd
Hey guys, I have a fish channel as well!
I would really be happy if you can check it out!
More vids coming soon!
The link doesn't work
The king of DIY. i love the large species the haps
Please wipe down the sides of ur tanks joey. Keep up the good work
Joey, what happened to the shell dwellers you had?
Thanks so much for the hospitality, Joey!!
Joey: My friend, Rache-
Me: YEEEEES!
This is the collaboration I didn't know I needed until it happened. I've been sick, but this video has cheered me up a lot. Thanks, Joey and Rachel!
You and Rachel together, what a Christmas present!!!
I love Rachel :D she is so full of information , helped me allot indirectly in my decisions
King of DIY I watch all of your videos. Keep up the great work!! My day was not amazing until I got a notification that you uploaded a video!!!
This is awesome! I only just started watching recently after I got my betta and got bit by "the bug". I lost my dog in Nov 2016 and I shattered. I went from a Dean's List student to barely passing.

Awe, hope the betta is still alive, is it planted, fyi I know the feeling. Altough currently still on the dean's
Close ups of the tanks really help me get a better look at the beauty of your fish, especially with the Peacocks I thought. Great video
I just realized the angelfish are above like heaven and the red discus are below like hell, wow
your fish seem to be very happy and lucky to have such a caring owner and cool aquariums
Love the moss F the hatters. No but really let it grow. Love the new organic style of your gallery. Thanks Joey I am inspired.
Rachel!!!! Yay this make me happy. Ive been waiting for this
Rachel's looking amazing, fantastic to see you both together. Am flat out watching both your channels and loving them.
Good man!!
"I'm going to put (Frank) in there permanently."
Oh Joey... "permanent" is a strong word for you. XD
super awesome what a nice surprise to see rachel there with you i really enjoy her channel .
I love Rachel so much! You guys make great videos together. Such a wealth of knowledge and experience! Merry Christmas. :)
Joey! Your fish room has come such a long way! Im gonna be honest i haven’t kept up with your channel as much as i used too but every time i watch a new video im in awe over how far you’ve come. Merry christmas joey!
Oooo 7 arowana? That would be impressive to see!
Merry Christmas!
I love seeing hobbyists talking together. the passion really shines!
I didn’t know Rachael until today but I love her. I can see she is incredibly knowledgeable. Very impressive :)
Man, I still think the Angel tank is one of my favorites. The contrast works SO well.
Finally you 2 make fish videos together. ❤❤❤ my 2 favourite fish geeks on UA-cam. You both have helped me so many times with information on fish and how to build info. Perfect Christmas gift
What happened to the Similis shell dwellers? That tank inspired me to get into the hobby and start up one of my own!
I think they're still in his basement, in the same room as the quarantine tanks.

I keep both discus and angel fish together in the same tank and i have no problems and there colours complement each other so it looks awesome
Merry Christmas from Australia everyone! For most of you right now it’s Christmas Eve or nighttime but here in Australia it’s the morning already
OMMMMG SHES A DIVA ... I Love her species spotlights annnnnnd basically all her channel
Good to hear what Rachel has to say about your gallery first hand. I've always wanted your gallery to be visited by other fishkeepers and hear their view. This one is really awesome.
Where was beans? And are you still building the up right tank for him or Frank?
I love both of you guy's channels, and buying from Rachel was a great experience. Excited for more vids!
I'm sorry Joey but when you said a special video for Christmas I was expecting a mermaid costume 😝
LOVED seeing you and Rachel together in a video! You both are outstanding and such great ambassadors for the hobbie! Thank you Joey and Rachel!
You two really need to do more collaborations!!!
Enjoyed your tour tremendously! Your tanks are incredibly unique in their aspects. Great features and form in all your tanks. You have a great perception on what fish needs what look. Frank is adorable and looks like you could dive right in and cuddle him forever! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Thank you.
This is great Joey!!! Hope more youtubers come to visit!!! Make Jenny come... She is in Minnesota!!! Also making videos soon on my arowana, stingray, Flowerhorn and Discus!!! Still have some more name suggestions!!!
The Malawi tank has been my favorite for some time. So colorful and full of energy!
Its awesome to see Rachel! But let her finish a sentence next time.
I thought women were supposed to be interrupting men, looks like the tables have turned
Aww he's just excited and enthusiastic about it and it pops in his head then straight out his mouth i have this problem when i talk about my fish too :)
heres one team that keep all of us glued to the screen.happy hollidays to all fish keepers
Rachel looks so pretty!
Great seeing you and Rachel working together, I been watching both channels for awhile now you too HV been very informative for me I would like to thank you both for the love you share!
so the saltwater just disappeared?
Tyson Richards he took it down and gave it to his friend
Isn’t it nice to see your tanks through her eyes Joey? Makes you look at what you’ve seen every day a bit differently...Merry Christmas
Joey just casually says that he wants 7 Asian arowana. Dropping hints eh ?!!
Everytime I watch his gallery room I think his 2000g tank would have looked better in the other corner
It would have made the room look a bit less crowded and the entrance with more space between the first wall and the aquariums side
Ecartts good point
Do you still have the shelldwellers? Why not add them to the tropheus tank?
OMG i am so glad you have Rachel on here I am her newest biggest fan!!!
Hi Joey, This was very interesting and fun to watch. nice overview of your aquariums they are so beautiful.
My man, I have had a fish tank for most of my life, I found earlier this year! I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences in the hobby, keep up the good work! I’m up to 3 tanks now but 70gal also on the way to join my 20g fry tank, 90gal and 40 gal. I live in 2 bedroom thinking will need to move in bigger place soon if my breeding plans go forward.

You have many questions I didn’t know I had, you are a fountain of information and I thank you. From Kingston Ontario
Joey!
How dare you forget about Beans!
She would have loved him...
You’ve inspired me into buying a fish tank for myself. Thank you and keep going with the vids. They’re the highlights of my day
I think an Australian biotope style aquarium would be so cool! With pseudomugil gertudae and similar smaller rainbows and blue eyes
I love the dragon tank! Whew! I'm not sure how rays and bichirs interact but I think having bichirs in there would make it an outstanding dragon tank. :)
Hell yeah I love her! I really appreciate the wisdom and opinions of all fishkeepers but she’s also such an inspiration for me in a bit of a male dominated hobby. I love all your videos Joey but this is such a nice surprise!
Merry Christmas to you and yours......the gallery is looking amazing. If I had that 375 gal. tank, strange as it may sound, I would put in fancy guppies, neon tetras, and LOTS of different kinds of shrimp.
Frank trying to get into the shot was really funny :)
Yay! Nice to a Tropheus tank in your collection.
However this myth that one needs to over crowd a tank is not dying easely. I’ve started with just a few individuals and grown my group. I’ve also started with juveniles and let the groups develop. It’s not at all needed to start with so many.

That is by far the trickiest part with keeping tropheus especially if one wants to keep other fish with them.
Dude, she is Awesome! I know her channel because of you and I follow her too. Great video!
I agree with Rachel.. That is my favorite tank too
(2nd being the one with the Angels)
Let Rachel finish what she's saying lol 😂😣
Great video and I love all the fish moving your planning. I agree the rainbows will help the louch tank out. Can't wait to find out what's going in the 375
awesome collab! Merry Christmas!
Oh my favorite tank is that angelfish tank. So gorgeous, I could quite literally watch it all day.
Love this collaboration. ❤️ Merry Christmas to you both and your families.
Fired Up Awesomeness!!! I’d like to see more special guest appearances, Jenny or Dustin? Lived seeing Rachel reaction and hearing her opinion on the gallery.

I have two, they're super underrated!
Super video, great to hear you and Rachel interacting. Well done
What happened with the rainbows? There are a ton missing now
We love u guys :) DIY ,Rachel Merry Christmas !!!
PITT MM *guys lol
"we LOVE you GAYS" wow lmfao
The cichlids are the next best thing to saltwater fish in colors
Welcome back to Canada!! Rachael is the best! I have learnt so much from her.
Wow! The King and Queen!
After Joey, Rachel O’Leary is my favorite UA-camr she has helped me a great deal with my pea puffers.
Who else really wants to see joey get a baby arowana and grow it out
Ppl who would never be able to own one, and it would be a unique youtube. Plus there a lot of other things here where you watch his fish grow for years anywau
Watching Christmas morning, early. Nice to have something to do while everyone sleeps on.
I saw the thumbnail and got so excited I love fish.
Rachel and Joey together and it's only a 23minute video?!? The people demand more!
I think I would be cool if you painted your ceiling black. Aesthetically it would be a nice touch. Just an idea though!
yes!!!! my 2 favorite fishtubers in one vid! so beyond hyped
What about your bass
This video is so interesting that I couldn't skip thumbs up for yours dedication!!!
Stop interrupting her when shes talking..give her a chance sheesh..
Love you guys. Rewarding video to watch! Thanks for making it
You forgot Bean! How dare you! Frank AND Bean! And the shell dwellers lol. 😂
No the limited scraping supplies worked in your favor. You got creative and it paid off. I love the interaction of your fish with the environment.
I hope the 375 gets something that uses the branches instead of the open space. Though it's a blast to see your ray hide.
Camouflaged and shy fish really catch my eye in these videos. Something I hadn't learn from own experience yet.
And that’s what happens when two legends get togheter my aqua heroes togheter, aqua league ;)
When are u setting up the salt water tanks?
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and all the very best for 2018. Lovely to see Rachel in the Gallery :-)
Joey & Rachel?! Perfect Christmas surprise! Great video, as always. Merry Christmas Joey & Rachel.
Rip 120g saltwater tank idea
Kinda disappointing :(
Jenny I guess it's not his thing
Very nice set up of your galley, enjoy watching all your video. quick question what is that thing with cord attached, half inside the tank, looks like there is prop in it?
Thank you and merry christmas
Frank backflips what's more cuter?
I love all of your tanks but that rainbow 375 tank is just gorgeous! They are looking so good, and the ray in there is adorable. She looks like she has short little legs and is jumping up and down (like a puppy) when u go over to the tank..lol. I would hang out with that tank (and the frank tank of course), all the time if I was there!
Have you ever thought about putting peacock bass in your big tank and would they be OK with the other fish?
So nice to see Rachael in the Gallery, thank you!
Where did you buy the racking system for all those tanks ? Or did you build it
Why don't you put a divider in the 375 and put Frank and Beans in either side?
The 2000g would have been complete with buddy in there 😭😭😭miss him
I actually love your videos and I love all your fish you have
you should make one livebearer fish tank.👍
how are 200+ rainbows going to fit in a 120?
How many died? How many were sold?
Half the rainbows were removed. The 120 will still be overcrowded. It doesn´t bother him. panem et circenses
