not a lot of wholesalers like people coming in and doing videos. usually its the breeders who hide stuff either due to breeding new breeds/mix or those that treating everything like breeder fish. others might not like it due to it being cramped and busy.
Loved the way you and Robert were working together while you were in teaching mode. Teachers like you, Cory were always the ones I responded to the best. Love the Aquarium Co-op atmosphere of fun and respect combined with passion and hard work. Awesome 👍🏾😊
Thank you Cory for everything you are doing for the hobby! You're a wealth of knowledge and an inspiration for constant self-improvement. I love what you do and will continue supporting your business.
I second @Shiskey and say I love these Wholesale tours. It really shows a lot of the "Processing" system of the fish industry. So good to see and learn. Thank you for this video. I would love to see more content like this -- content is right in line with the Fish Farm tours.
Thank you thank you thank you! I just purchased four fish I have been searching for forever! Nobody had them or they where way too expensive! Can't wait to get them!
Just made my first purchase from aqua huna. Bought some bolivian rams. Thank you aquarium co-op! Their shipping prices was the game changer for me. So affordable!!
Lol Cory... Okay you pick out the bettas. Also Cory look at this one this ones cool put that one over there! Lol. He had a hard time letting the other guy pick the Bettas!!! 😆 i cant say i blame him. I use to love to go around and find the rarest looking Bettas i could find. I had some pretty sweet ones at one point-!!
Hi Cory when I would buy Koi it was either Domestic Koi which your calling Pond Koi! And Japanese Koi where all your color patterns matter Kohaku,Sanke,Showa which are what you have in your pond at home,I know you know that I thought I'd share they way we clarified them in the 90's. ✌🌿
I used to go to one of these places below SF in the city of Belmont. A giant warehouse with rows and rows of tanks stacked on top of each other with multiple sizes of all fish both fresh and salt water. We'd mostly get cichlids and other rare fish. They had sturgeon and snakeheads and red tail barracuda. This was the late 90's when alot of the predatory fish weren't illegal like they are now. We'd also buy hundreds of feeders for our fish. Lots of live rock and even lionfish. My fav tank had peacock bass, green terror, jack dempsey, snakehead, and red tail barracuda. they all had their territory.
Walmart is the only one though. Meijer here has them as well. And I trust the quality of the fish just as much as walmart. I think the walmart by me still has fish in their tanks, but didn't look closely to see.
Those rams looked awesome. Thanks Mr. Corey for all the help and knowledge you all share with us hobbyists. Could you help with some stocking tips for a 40 gal hex tank a d maybe some good plants for it also?
Hey Cory, just so you know, "black dragon" is the right term for these bettas. Black dragons have a white dragonscale body with black fins. If the whole body is white, unlike most black dragons that have some black scales on them, it's called a "full mask". There are also red and gold dragons. They are basically the same just with different fin colors. I wrote this because you seemed confused that a mostly white fish is called black dragon.
Not confused, I just think the trade names are dumb. Why not call a blue fish a black dragon then if it has some black extensions on its crown tail etc. I’m just irritated that the naming structures of fish is what will sell on a wholesale list and not what is actually represented on a fish. But hey money talks.
I had purchased 10 chili rasboras from here (shipped to MN). 2 were dead on arrival for which they promptly reimbursed. Most, if not all of the rest seemed sick and I had sent pictures and aquahuna said the fish were probably stressed from shipping but this was 2 days after I received. Within the next few days all but 1 died. I let them know and they did nothing and I didn't really press. This was my first time and I simply decided it was my last. They are no aquarium co-op for sure. I believed it could be that chili rasboras might not be easy to ship. But I tried again from a different well known online store and have had these fish for months...not a single one perished. They are still doing great. So, maybe aquahuna had a bad batch or that shipment was just bad luck but the response to that was lacking.
I am one handed (I had a stroke when I was four); tying fish bags is my bane. I have been thinking for years I would like to find a machine that could put a band around a bag for me. Glad you showed it. Do you know what they are called. I would like to have one for my fish store, when I open it.
Crazy. went to a chain store tonight to grab some media and walked the tanks. saw at least 15+ of the exact same fish undoubtedly from this guy. I've got HB red guppies but noticed these HB gold body reds there and it took me a few min to walk away. Poor quality control but really interesting genes.
You’ve never seen albino Buenos Aires tetras??? I’m surprised. Buenos aires are top 5 tetra dithers for cichlids in my books. Look amazing when full grown
In my Walmart in north Platte Nebraska there were only 3 fish left and they were on sale which they never put fish on sale even if they have 1 fish left
Interesting stuff! I wonder if the fact that Walmart isn't buying fish will cause a temporary spike in the supply of live fish and if that will cause a temporary price crash.
@@AquariumCoop Yes, WM should have stayed in the business but improved the conditions, of course. A disabled friend of mine is great with that kind of job and it would really be good for him with his autism. As he was preparing for it through disability employment WM takes it away! He first asked 2-3 years ago about that job. Now I wonder what he will do since he hasn't worked in over 4 years. He's 50 like me and wanted to have a store when he was little. He did mention substitute teaching again so I'll encourage him in that direction. He has to be close enough to walk to work.
I work at a Petco in the greater Chicago aria, I would like to know if he has applied to sell to Petco’s, I have a feeling he would be a better vendor then what we have now
Hi cory I have a Question Following your step on QT do you have to treat them again general cure for the eggs and if so how long after the first treatment Thanks John
🐟 Buy fish at geni.us/LiveFish from our preferred online retailers with the code aquariumcoop to save 5%
They don’t ship to Washington!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@grantbelleque1494 I just found out too.
Do you have axalotos
Well, I think this deal is over and it’s now Dansfish
Ooo Love me some wholesale tours. Look at Robert looking all Robert. 🥰
not a lot of wholesalers like people coming in and doing videos. usually its the breeders who hide stuff either due to breeding new breeds/mix or those that treating everything like breeder fish.
others might not like it due to it being cramped and busy.
Yeah he's like a kid in the candy shop! I would be too. 🐠🐟🙂
Enjoyed seeing Robert and Cory in a video together kind of a change up. Hope you settled well Jimmy look forward to some interesting videos!!!
Swhiskey miss you Jimmy. You brought a youthful joy to the Co-op. Please never leave the Co-op. You’re chemistry is beautiful.
I love me so bettas. Glad the Co OP is finally selling bettas for everyone to enjoy
Two nice guys buying fish from a nice guy, what’s not to like.
Loved the way you and Robert were working together while you were in teaching mode.

Training Robert (and the rest of us) on buying wholesale - FUN!
Neat! Though I was kinda horrified at the prospect of a tipped tray of bettas...
Really cool to see cory teaching Robert the nuances of picking out from the wholesaler from his experience. Very nice!
Thank you thank you thank you! I just purchased four fish I have been searching for forever! Nobody had them or they where way too expensive! Can't wait to get them!
Awesome video. I love too see the whole sealers. I worked for 3 years at my local wholesaler. It was an amazing experience.
Finally a place for all the people that complain that aquarium coop doesn’t sell fish online 😂
Brandon Edinger nope, the kg in kg tropicals is king George and mine is my name kevin green.
"250!?!?"😲
I love that reaction. Wish I had room and time for just 5 bettas, haha.
I bought my red rili and chocolate brown shrimp from them. They were great fast shipping and they respond to your messages.
Just made my first purchase from aqua huna. Bought some bolivian rams. Thank you aquarium co-op! Their shipping prices was the game changer for me. So affordable!!
Wow that’s so cool to see behind the scenes like that , thanks Cory
Seems like a nice guy. Love the business model Cory and his crew strive for and the products they recommend.
this is why i love this channel, i get to see a side of the hobby that otherwise i would never see. thank you, from across the pond
Love seeing these behind the scenes vids of the aquarium business. Cheers Cory and crew.🤘
These videos are my favourite great to see how business is done
Lol Cory... Okay you pick out the bettas. Also Cory look at this one this ones cool put that one over there! Lol. He had a hard time letting the other guy pick the Bettas!!! 😆 i cant say i blame him.

I kept thinking Robert was going to knock over all those Bettas. Thanks for another great video.
Glad to see Walmart stopping their live fish sales. My local store here in north Georgia just tore down their fish display the week before last.
Oh, that's why the tanks at my Walmart were empty then. Was kinda wondering.
Walmart is the only one though. Meijer here has them as well. And I trust the quality of the fish just as much as walmart. I think the walmart by me still has fish in their tanks, but didn't look closely to see.
Got my order of Harlequin Rasboras from them this past week.. all came in great.. Definitely going to be buying from them again
This was super cool, and fun to watch. That woulda been fun to pick out all those Bettas Robert.....
Those rams looked awesome. Thanks Mr. Corey for all the help and knowledge you all share with us hobbyists. Could you help with some stocking tips for a 40 gal hex tank a d maybe some good plants for it also?

Just wanted to update....a few hours after I had posted the above comment, the cost of the fish was reimbursed.
Awesome video as usual!
Really wish y'all sold fish online, but I guess this is the next best thing
I hope he finds a market for the fish that where going to Walmart. Cheers for the tour boys very interesting good job
Very interesting video.nice to see what happens to fish before you get them.
Hi cory I love this video. I love video like this you could learn a lot from these videos.
This is incredible for fish nerds like me to watch 😋 love it!
I am one handed (I had a stroke when I was four); tying fish bags is my bane. I have been thinking for years I would like to find a machine that could put a band around a bag for me. Glad you showed it. Do you know what they are called. I would like to have one for my fish store, when I open it.
Thank you for sharing. Very cool to see.
NIce. Thank you for sharing! -Little Bobby
Good lookin out! Thanks Cory!
Blue diamond is an old line. I remember it from early 2000s.
I so love all this 🐟🐠🐟🐠👍
Great video!
Awesomeness video
Could u next time do a video on their filtration system how it comes out the individual tanks and return to it.
Thx for sharing
This is great stuff to see. Thanks Cory.
I LOVE butterfly koi! This was great!
Thanks you making this video
Just made my 1st purchase from Aquahuna. Nice healthy Blue German Rams 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

nice video thanks for sharing im going to check it out now
It's about time Robert got to go on field trips.
More videos like this please.
Would be nice if there were any places like this that ship to the UK. Transshipping is a pain, probably easier to post myself stock back.
Nice video and the prices from the whole seller seem really good with only $13 shipping
I'd love to see more wild bettas. We need them in the states
Very interesting video, please 🙏🏼can you do more of this type of video 🐠🐌🦐🐟
How does one order from whole salers really love the fish my dad did before he past I love angles molly's Shrks guppies are myfavorate
Picking bettas and 36 is your limit... that a dream job
Great video. Thank you!
woah! AquaHuna's prices are so good and the shipping is incredibly low....
I like them totes I’ve never seen mention there price and name brand.
You could place a wholesale order for Bettas from over seas. You would get excellent variety!
We already do that.
Very nice.
In my Walmart in north Platte Nebraska there were only 3 fish left and they were on sale which they never put fish on sale even if they have 1 fish left
Oooof that ship to Washington what!!!!!!!
Do u think that a sailfin molly pond would be a fun project in the fishroom
I got a neon tetra with cottonmouth is it contagious is it deadly sos help
Another great vid! Thanks so much for the channel inspiration! Hope to be like you one day
I purchased from them on eBay , really nice price
Good video 👍😄
Great video. Seems like they’re medicating a lot too. If I order direct, I still should do the one week quarantine thing right?
Always quarantine and more then a week, more like a month if I were you.
Are you going to do a follow up idea of what you came back to the store with? Which Bettas made the co-op cut?
There won’t be a follow up to this from that day.
Where do you get those totes??
Great fish great video but man the water color would be impossible for me haha
Might order from them for my new tank!
Question why are male and female guppy sold separately but other Livebearers aren't
How come they are in NW but wont ship to Washington?
Interesting. I could spend the day just looking in tanks.
Hello Cory
This is Shannon , me and Robert from Sick Wid It Cichlids would like to come by and shop and visit where you located
Cool
Interesting stuff! I wonder if the fact that Walmart isn't buying fish will cause a temporary spike in the supply of live fish and if that will cause a temporary price crash.
Probably. Honestly them getting out is bad for the hobby on the whole. If they would have improved, it could have been huge for the hobby.
@@AquariumCoop Yes, WM should have stayed in the business but improved the conditions, of course.

Can hobbyist aquire their own fish with out having to go through a pet store I need frontosa an need to know how to order them
I work at a Petco in the greater Chicago aria, I would like to know if he has applied to sell to Petco’s, I have a feeling he would be a better vendor then what we have now
Which fish are the dojo's being fed to mostly? And why are they feeder fish? Seems specific for a feeder fish. Interesting tho
Pretty much every fish store I go into (UK) sells Red Tailed Shark. They're the darling of the planted tank as far as I'm concerned lol
I do !
Nice setup.... please make video on "mass oxygen system " please
I would absolutely love to be able to work with fish and shrimp everyday...
Are the bettas grown out in cups that small?
Do you have blue or marble blue Angel fish?
Been tempted to order Dwarf loaches from them. Just the idea of order fishing from Washington state all the to Florida stresses me.
Johnny Salaza whats this place called/website?
I have ordered twice from Mr. Hu. Great fish and you can always give Mr. Hu a call if you need anything.
What kind of Rams were those at 2:45? They're so cute 😍
Brittany Caron I think those are ballon German blue rams
Do these guys ship to Vancouver, British Columbia,Canada?
What type of tote is that where did youll buy them
Teaching him the ropes eh? Nice!
yep, if there was only some ropefish. Then I could have really taught him ;P
@@AquariumCoop HA! I see what you did there lol
Hi cory I have a Question
Following your step on QT do you have to treat them again general cure for the eggs and if so how long after the first treatment
Thanks John
Usually follow up 2-4 weeks later with the second treatment.
3:37 One of these days, I'm going to do a big tank of just small tetras and/or rasboras.
Heck yas, They sell the fish i cant find locally for a price i can actually afford!!! Time to prep another tank....
