Yes the Carpet Tiles is the best idea for Aquarium Stores! 14:05 My first ever job was at an Aquarium in QLD Australia, we had the same problem with the carpet getting torn up by foot traffic in certain corners, the tiled carpet came into existence unintentionally from cutting out and replacing pieces of the floor over 2 years 😂 Until we ripped it all up to install actual tiled carpet floors haha
Love it when dean gets on the channel, special treat for sure Thankyou aquarium co op and dean and everyone who was In the video for another great unboxing!
Can’t wait to see the final store expansion, it sounds insanely awesome. Might have to take a trip to it all the way from south California. Always love seeing dean and the great ideas he shares and beautiful plecos he breeds. I’m tempted to do that double sponge filter with a power head for my 40G with my two hatchlings turtles and some fish.
I was just there this past December, I took a 36 hour train ride to Washington from California to the store and it was worth it completely. The staff is so polite and beyond helpful, Murphy is even cuter in person if that’s possible lol! I’m definitely coming again after the expansion is completed!
Always cool seeing Dean bring fish to the co-op for sale. Very awesome seeing the in progress of the retail space remodel!!! Hoping you do more of the in-progress videos of that process.
I got the reference, Dean : "Water, water, everywhere And all the boards did shrink Water, water, everywhere Nor any drop to drink" Glad you didn't lose fish!
I actually bought 4 of the smaller sponge filters for some of my smaller tanks from Aquarium Co-op, I might place an order for some larger ones in the future for future tanks I have planned. absolutely love how hassle free they are. Sponge filters are great for easily establishing beneficial bacteria for your tanks. They are able to be hidden, not only do they keep the tanks clean but since they use air flow to suck water through the sponge they help replace air stones by providing oxygen into the tank as well. All if my Koi Angel's are happy fish in my 55gal tank. My yellow labs (electric yellow ciclid) are bright and vibrant and happy as well. Plus my shrimp love hanging out on the spunge filters.
i sure wish I could get some of Dean's Red Koi Angelfish! Beautiful! I recently picked up several Turkana Jewel. I have them in my Mbuna tank and they seem to be doing well. They don't seem to be showing any aggression. I really like their orange color with the bright blue stripe on their fins.
Have been keeping up with you since the beginning . Congratulations on your success you have come a long ways since just working in a pet store. Hope it is still fun and not just a job. Having a good core of friend to work with does hurt also.
Getting Dean to 🎤 "mic up" just so he can "drop the 🎤 mic!!!" 💪✨ Thanks for sharing about taking fish ourselves to the fish store in hopes of trading or selling!! Always great points to consider!! I'm sure hoping for some "gravy fish" being somebody with no income, one of my goals is to have a few species to help me keep growing in the habit to get other fish and plants or supplies!! So far I had just had my first drop of Vienna Guppies, orange and orange cap rice fish!! I can't even tell you how excited I am 🎉🎊 Snowrball plecos, Bristlenose and corys will definitely the next fish I add!! Love the Platinum rice fish 🤩 and the leopard frog plecos🤩 Dean has brought in so many amazing fish! I really enjoyed the video!! I appreciate you guys so much for everything you share to help us in the hobby!! Always informative and entertaining!! I hope everyone at Aquarium Co-op has a wonderful week!! Happy Monday everyone!!🙏🌿🐟🌿♥️🥰
Nice. Jimmy/Dean, for the record, the “Candy Striped” Pleco is the L015, Pekoltia Vittata, not the L397. The L397 common hobby names are usually Red Tiger, Red Stripe, or Alenquer Tiger. Regarding the L134, those that come from the Rio Tapajos will have more consistent thicker solid banding, however the pattern will almost always break up and get more interesting as adults. L134 coming from the Rio Jamanxim collection area will have thinner and a significantly more broken (or spotted) pattern than those from the Rio Tapajos. Because the collection area and population of the Tapajos is much larger, nearly all the L134 in the hobby are Tapajos. L134 from the Rio Jamanxim are still quite rare in the hobby.
I bought them from cataclysm, from the guy who collected them and bred them. He also gave a talk and showed the habitat he collected them from. I don’t remember all the details except all the catfish nerds agreed they were they were the L397.
@@AquariumCoop I was gonna comment the same thing. They do look L397 but the common name for L397 is not "Candy Striped Pleco", but Red Tiger or Alenquer Tiger.
Those sponge filters are great, love how modular they are. I'm not sure how easy it would be to manufacture but it'd be great if they came with a longer green pipe that the final end user could cut to length, an optional elbow piece would be awesome as well. I always end up putting my own pvc pipe and an elbow to direct flow whenever I get a sponge filter, would be great to have it ready to go! Not that I could get hold of it over here in Britain anyway! Also, Joel's carpentery skills are pretty impressive but when are you going to commission him for some artwork, dude's a master! Can anyone else remember those painted backgrounds on the giant shrimp tanks he did?
Lamont was another insane artist. I wish he was still there. It seems like I remember he was the one who designed the first Hank shirt for Aquarium Coop.
I love breeding my exotics. I myself am looking into breeding tarantulas but they tend to have large broods and a small market, some fish are the same. Its actually very surprising how much the terrestrial invert and freshwater fish hobbies have in common. Both have thousands of unique and colorful species and I'm glad to be a part of both communities.
Looks like the same way Seascape Aquarium in Sarasota Florida progressed throughout the years... They opened in 1979 and now have 5 or 6 units in a strip mall... Except you walk over a bridge over one of their 2 huge koy ponds to enter the store...
Plecos and many other fish such as guppies LOVE raw, de-skinned, thawed frozen peas. I buy the unsalted ones. I feed just what they will eat in a day so the water won't get cloudy. Filtration is best to have in the water. So good for snails too. Also, raw spinach leaves help snails leave the plants alone. USA
Dean's fish are always fabulous to see. The store expansion is really moving along, and wow...what a fantastic store it's going to be!! It is already on my list of vacation places. Great job all the way around guys! 👍❤👍
Just found your channel! I used to have aquariums, like potato chips you can't have just one! I love seeing such gorgeous healthy fish tanks that I don't have to maintain! BTW the 'honeycomb' plecos German name 'Wabenmuster' is pronounced with a 'Vf' sound instead of a 'w' sound. Great channel!
I can't wait to see the new store in all her glory! Murphy is one lucky puffer. If Joel needs an apprentice, hit me up. He's doing some pretty cool work in there!
I'm quite partial to Dean's videos at the Co-Op. It is such a treat. I like the camaraderie & interactions between the whole Co-Op crew. I like to see the right out of the box how-to demonstrations. On the powerhead, it would be nice to have a directional flow flap to angle the water up or down. Great video as always; Jimmy, Dean & everyone.
Hello! Great video 😁 I have several Red Turkana Jewels. I find that they are beautiful and very prolific. They can be aggressive but mainly when they have fry. They do not tear my tank but they do like to dig a hole to spawn in. Mine are fine with plants. They breed, and breed and breed..... I currently have about 200 fry, as I made a boo boo when putting what I thought was 2 females together in a tank alone 😳 Oopsie!! Nothing to predate on the young.....
@Mayur3tears I think as long as the tank is planted and/or has places to investigate and chill, they will be fine. LOL mine do not seem to like fish that are yellow very much
Great with All the diffrent plecos and IT Is really going to be big the shop, good video even master Dean Play with the filter to build new stuff ,like a child playing with lego
Deana fish tank blowout story reminded me of something. Whenever you buy a new tank silicone all the seams. We have had 2 new tanks start leaking because they either didn’t put enough silicone on, or it wasn’t smeared tight enough against the corner of the 2 pieces of glass.
i have carpet tiles at home, do make sure you pick a color/texture thats gonna be available for a long time or buy it in bulk, cause mine is discoloring but can no longer find the same color/texture..
Question when you guys post this I’m sure it’s been in the shop already I’m planing on taking a trip to Washington to go to your shop but would love to go when you guys have more of those WABENMUSTER any idea when you will get more lol I know it’s a long shot but worth asking
all i can say is WOW, with the extra expansion and adding a line of totes, the new Co-op is just going to be beyond amazing! question, is there anyway you can put in a bit of seating? a bench maybe for us gimpy people who can't stand for long periods of time.
Cory here. That is actually part of the plan. I used to have seating at the front of the store but the bettas took that space. We are moving the bettas and seating is coming back.
Jewl chiclids are actually some of the most tame chiclids I ever kept there only aggressive during spawning if you just keep one alone there an amazing fish
Are Medaka going to be sold regularly at the shop? If So, I'm sooooooo excited! I've started cycling a tank at home in preparation for them, I was worried I was going to have to chance buying online. I think they're so simple and beautiful!
I’m currently trying the Moanda Jewel Cichlid in my community aquarium and I have no problem at all. It is a solo fish and not a breeding pair though so who knows.
Great video!!!! Hope we get a Cory fish room video soon. Then another collection video from South America!!!! Okay, I'm out of control and admit it!!!!
Hello, I have in my personal tank a cross breed of a Parrot-Convict and Handers Platinum. They had about 30 babies for sure. They are white/translucent with zebra stripes. Do you know if this is a breed?

Either his platinum rice fish or red koi angels

Always a treat to see Dean, the man is so gracious and sweet. I need that energy all around me, shoot, we all do.
I don't. I have plenty.
agreed 💯
It’s the passion he has that makes us all smile !
@@TheBaBaTV @GregWolfe yes. I agree. I just find him so loveable. lol. And his passion is contagious.

Always love when dean is in a video! I would love if he had his own channel! Excited for progress on the expansion
Awesome video! Love the fish revel! Also wow Joel is awesome for doing a great job on the expansion!
I got the reference, Dean : "Water, water, everywhere And all the boards did shrink Water, water, everywhere Nor any drop to drink" Glad you didn't lose fish!
I’m gonna go visit all the way from San Antonio, Texas because I’m such a big fan.
Love how the closeups of the fish are inserted makes it very enjoyable to watch.

Love that idea of dual sponge filter with the Aquarium power head.

Hey I recognize that Joel dude. Doesn’t he have a UA-cam channel? We should all check out Corvus Oscen channel.
I agree! His channel is great 👍
So many exciting things happening there!
Was there a lens upgrade or the camera..? The quality just shoot up 👌🏻🔥🔥
Candy cane plecos are so cool. Thanks for another fun video
Quite an impressive assortment of fish. So awesome!
Love the double filter but the weight seems counter productive when using with a powerhead
I always enjoy the unboxing videos. But a Dean unboxing is incredible!!!
Dean is the best ambassador for the Coop. FINS DOWN!
This was fun! Thank you!
Great
I was waiting for a new video
So wish I lived close to here as I would purchase them all. Maybe bring some when you are at Twin Cities Guppies in March?
Lovin the expansion! Nice fish Dean. 🐟 🐠
Who has a cooler bunch of guys than aquarium co-op?? Great video guys
another awesome video , love to see the leopard frogs! cant wait to breed them one day / nice sneed peak on the store update also
Awesome Dean innovation, the power head filter! For that L201 Pleco, wouldn't that be pronounced like the River Orinoco, Oar-Eee-No-Koe?

Have you ever mentioned what camera you record with? If not, I'm curious.
This was with a Sony a7siii. That and a Sony A1 are the main cameras. If it’s Cory alone by himself it’s usually a Sony zv1 or Sony ax700.
Cool fish 🐟 and rare I can’t believe
Awesome great pets. fish store aquarium
When was this filmed?! Looks like summer
Wednesday.
What size sponge filter was Dean stacking? Were those the mediums?
I think larges
Dean content is the best content!

Hello, I have in my personal tank a cross breed of a Parrot-Convict and Handers Platinum. They had about 30 babies for sure. They are white/translucent with zebra stripes. Do you know if this is a breed?
Info on rice fish is kinda messy can they go cold enough for ice??
Another great video!!!
