Greg is a living legend. a "sage" in so many ways, all apparent in your video - thank you!
maybe a legend in making things overcomplicated
@@Malysandacz why do you think so?
@@LushSaltyAquariums because I can see what he is doing and from my commercial fish breeding perspective he is making things much more complicated than they should be
@@Malysandacz😮 WW
That pipe maze for water changes blew my mind!
HOLY MOLY THOSE RED BARBS... MANNNN BEAUTIFUL
I had Greg's Barbs for several years. Absolutely stunning fish. Can't recommend enough, even if you have to wait.
That was incredible. Greg is a true legend and gentleman. We need more people like him in this world.
Greg is a true legend of Aquariculture and he replies on email quicker than most people replying to regular messages on their phone.
As a 25 year plumber, i just had a stroke. Lol. Dear god let me fix that! Lol
At 45:33 screenshot it’s pretty wild! So none of the tanks are drilled? Gravity elbow syphon and maybe redundancy as a backup?
I have watched an older video on the channel but it’s now next level cluster stuff! Patience is a virtue.
I doubt he would let you touch it, these guys can become extremely eccentric. I have know doubt you could make this a much more practical system, it just crazy at the moment.
The constantly having to restart siphons when there are so many better methods reminds me of the owner of the fish store I work at. Temporary solutions that aren't quickly replaced with the actual solution have a tendency to accumulate over time and become load bearing lol. He has so many special "rules" about our system at the store that have developed over 30 years.
Almost makes you think you should reset a fish room every 5 years or so to avoid this kind of build up of kludge.
give yourself 5 minutes of extra work? Or give yourself a life time of problems by putting a band aid on it? 😂 this guys given himself 50000x the amount of work then he could have by scraping the idea years ago and remaking it all.
Great to see Greg is still going strong. Thanks for sharing!!
I love how dirty his tank are make me feel he doing right. I love listening to Greg I seen twice before. He very interesting
most people over clean tanks for their own visual pleasure, in most cases its too much, too often, and not needed.
I mean the outside is a bit dirty and there is some algae but the water is very clean. He has a lot of mechanical filtration, regular automatic water changes, and big sump filters.
“I love seeing people’s fish room freezer.” That’s got to be the answer to the question of now to tell if you are a fish nerd or a hard core fish nerd! 😀 Love seeing Greg’s fish room. Seen a number of lectures but no tours until this one.
My ilyodon furcidens are originally from Greg’s line, several years later live and kicking up in Canada
I'm so happy you asked about the pvc that's insane
If you don't think that everyone with a fish room doesn't have a little "Mad Scientist" in them just look at Greg's PVC game. That would give the average person epilepsy just looking at. Nick after this USA tour of all these fish rooms it's like going to "Tropical fish college" in the states.
I'm still blown away by all the PVC going everywhere! As long as he knows where it's going is all that matters! 🙂 Great tour, Nick and Harlan. Thanks for sharing it. And thanks to Greg for letting us into his fishroom. Cheers, Mates! ~Ron
Great to be in the company of such experienced breeders. They are the reasons we see some of those rare species still exist in the aquarium hobby. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us!!!
One of the species he keeps is pvc pipiliar. 😂. Blows my mind how he keeps so many siphons going. Amazing to see this fishroom.
Man you've been killing it with these interviews!. So good.
Oooooo you really gonna make us wait for that Co Op video😂
@Josh_Rickhard I have a feeling that this will hold up to Cory's Green Machine
We're excited for the Co Op, but I bet Cory is stoked on this one! Lol
Thanks, mate. Cherry on the top of Gary Lange video.
Yes! I was very excited for this tour as well. I went back and re-watched Cory's Greg Sage tour from 6 years ago!
Is he gonna show deans fishroom or did he just leave that to his buddy he went with?
That was awesome! I am loving these fishroom tours. There are so many wonderful breeders out there. Seeing their set ups is a real treat!
Greg Sage seems like one of the nicest most informative people out there. I always enjoy his content!!! Great tour guys!!!
I use flow restrictor for each tank on my setup. So there is just one pipe system that runs for an hour a day and I can adjust the amount of water change for every particular tank with flow restrictors with particular flow rate. By doing that I do not have a web of pipes.
Those odessa male breeders are INSANE!
14 years of continuous selective breeding on those red barbs is insane dedication to the hobby, so much respect
I think it's super cool that I'm watching this and to my left I have a 40 gal next to me full of some of Greg sage's line of fish. 2 20 gals down stairs with some extra goodieds too
I love Select Aquatics!! I saw the aquarium coop tour from years ago. Nice to get a update of his fish room now! Hopefully he continues breeding fish for a long time
Greg is a Great man with lot of passion to fish hobby. Like his fish room with selection of species.
Such dedication to his work! 🔥
Its inspiring to see you just seeking wisdom and info from everywhere and just soaking it all up. You are pretty much the leader of the next generation. Nice that all these decades of knowledge and experience has somewhere and someone to flow through and create new life. 🎉🎉 cheers
I completely agree. It's inspiring and great to see how far he's come! Very proud!

Greg the Legend
Two of my favorite fish UA-camrs!
Another great video, and it was fun to watch. I'm blessed to have visited Greg's fish room, but it was several years ago. This video was a great way to see it again, and to see the changes. I echo Nick's comments at the end: Every time I get a shipment from Greg, everything inside is perfect. Give it a try.
Wow! I see someone else is into Odessa barbs. Thought I was the only one. It is an absolutely stunning fish. Totally underrated in the hobby. Pretty easy to breed in my opinion. I even have fry surviving with the parents even though it is a bonus. I hatch the eggs separately when I really want them to survive.
I am really falling in love with these Gudeaud species, I live in the Midwest and have harder water and these beatiful fish need our help. Im happy to do so❤
Great work. Someone buy this man a glass hole saw so he can install bulkheads and do away with all that pvc.
That's cool he chick's up with buyer that might still have his strains of fish
Love your fish room tours ❤
Please can we have more fish breeding and selling in your shop videos. Love what you are doing.
Great video, very informative, Greg definitely knows his stuff :)
Love Greg's fish room! Thanks for sharing 😊
Hayy love from Israel .love u 2❤
A first seeing someone breeding Ameca splendens.
Welcome to Colorado
❤❤❤ lots of love for both of you
03:20 gorgeous 😍
It wd be really helpful if you flash the fish type names while covering.... 🙏
Been so excited for this tour since the podcast! 🩷🐟 Greg seems like a great guy who’s been round the block a few times and has a lot of life experience. He also seems to have a very obsessive personality and I think whilst this can be seen as a downfall for some people, when you learn to utilise it like Greg has it shows the great things you can achieve in life. Although I can never order from him since I’m in the UK, his customer service model alone would bring me to his store. I’d rather save up and buy fish from somebody who really appreciates the business and has put years of passion into their fish. I wish you continued success. If all businesses ran with the same attitude the world would be a much nicer place!
Lovely
the odessa barbs were amazing
Superb
Great video
Great video! I love Splitfins and have kept them in the past, it's a pity they aren't more readily available in the hobby in Australia.
Im happy to see that so many mexican fish can be breed in captivity
28:23 I've never seen them that red ever he wasn't joking
Great video tour!
Nice ❤
Nice setup ❤
Greg Sage is my Guru for Goodeid I have 5 different colonies that we started from Mr. Sage.
i thought it was your grand mom by the thumb nail haha
Odessa ❤
hella early on this one! lets gooooo
I want his sailfin molly's. they are massive. unfortunately in 3years of watching his site for availability I have yet to see any :(
Does Greg still have his Sailfin Mollies?
No. A gentleman in North Carolina has the strain now. His email is on the Select Aquatics website. I bought a couple dozen in Jan 2022 and are doing amazing.
Have you ever tried or been successful breeding rainbow trout or Murray Cod?
Could somebody sum up all the different types of fish in the video?
I can't keep them apart from what they are saying.
Really nice livebearers.
Thanks❗
Anyone please link a video showing a big tank full of Odessa barbs he has. That would be insane
This man is a Mad Scientist..
Hi
Goodieds look a lot like north American sport fish. Trout, Salmon, Bass, and crappies
wow, that's a lot of work in that basement
Hi
Im from far away in Europe
I'm just wondering why tropical fish are so ridiculous expensive. Do you not have imports from Asia..
Please can someone give me some insight
Thx and have a nice Easter weekend
Ladies and gentleman, the amount you spend on creating this semi efficient set up that requires 24/7 maintenance & checking everything is in order would be cheaper to just buy a suction and return pump, have 4 actuated valves, run all return lines into each other & have one spare line for back wash. Given you also have to drill the tanks but what’s the big deal when your set up looks like this.
They are neocaridina. Genus. Davidi is species. Neocaridina davidi
Mantap
Wondering how fish after years in such tanks without any moon light can sense lunar phasing. Is it understood how they can do this?
H E L L ❤ ....
I was wondering why Odessa barbs disappeared from the hobby 14 years ago. I had one lonely male who decided all the other fish in the community aquarium were his enemy. I couldn't find any tank mates for him and had to euthanize him because he was causing too much havoc.
What is the best ram to breed
Where does he live
👍👍👍👍👍
line breed in breed ??
Good video but why is everything so dirty??
He is not keeping fish simple 🤣
What name the first fish the old man have messy language I don't understand
Ameca splendens. You also have messy language my friend, I believe you meant "has". Don't be so judgy 😊
OMG so much pipe fish 😅
Great fish and all but looking at how unclean and chaotic everything is in his work place made me exceptionally
u n c o m f o r t a b l e
First
He sure needs to learn how to use a cheap Chinese glass drill and a bulkhead fitting... Those pipes are out of control and needless waste of time...
Ayy 1st
U so hawt when u was no mustache
I'll be the negative one here. Small tanks, immoral practice.
What are your credentials to make that claim? Do you actually know the hobby? It is the mark of someone who doesn't know what their talking about to judge a tank merely by size. While size can be important, what is actually more important is whether or not nitrogenous wastes are being broken down, which is why certain sized tanks are recommended, to properly handle bio-load. Breeders typically do large water changes very often to keep water quality good. This guy is literally a breeder, and his fish are clearly healthy. You do not see diseases in the video, you do not see tattered fins, and you see bright, vibrant colors. They are also breeding. All of these are signs of top notch care giving. He clearly has everything to show for his work, you can see it with your own eyeballs.
You, on the other hand, have a surface level understanding of how to care for these animals. You don't see negative comments because the other people are *hobbyists,* they know what they're looking at.
I worked in the hobby professionally for over a decade, and I say it with upmost sincerity, people like you are a large part of why I left. You are like a chicken playing chess, knocking over pieces and shitting on the board and strutting around thinking you accomplished something. Truly the lowest common denominator in the hobby
Did he have any Montezuma swords...as he use to....an amazing fish...I was hoping to see them . Well done video!!
Yes
