In a couple days... i have some INSANE fish arriving... I have a ton of work to do to prepare for them in the mean time. Can you guess what they are? ALSO!!! Im on instagram!! Follow me: instagram.com/uarujoey/
I am so freaking happy. I'm a 29 year old dude, so the type that typically goes for the "natural" look, but something about Captain and his ship just gives me the giggles. It's perfect. Sometimes it's fun to go back to the flashy/kitschy things that grabbed our attention when we were young and probably helped get us into the hobby in the first place. And that is one sweet pleco! Perfect choice for the substrate. Hopefully the pleco can stay in there long term, but I have my doubts.
Well, I'm sad for no live bearers. However, Captain James Hook looks amazing on the black substrate, as does Mr. Smee. The name, and ship decoration, seem to be pretty appropriate. Most importantly though is the fact that you seem excited about the tank. As much as you said that you quit and it's up to us, you're the one who will be seeing it everyday and you're the one who will be caring for the tank, so ultimately it has to be you that is happy with it and excited. At the very least this fan is satisfied, even though I wanted something else.
If the pleco and Captain Hook get along and you decide to keep them together long term, you’ll have to name the pleco “Smee.” A Captain needs his first mate.
Captain Hook look great! Contrast of colour is awesome, yellows and the dark substrate. Pleco is so cool as well! Should get a compas for the tank and call the tank "Never-never Land" adventures of Captain Hook and Peter Pleco!
The one thing I really wanted to see was a black substrate to change it up and you did that, so I’m good with the rest. Actually, I love the fish, the name, the companion and the silly ship. Great choice!
While I wasn't a fan of the Oscar idea at first, I love that you adopted Cpt Hook and gave him a home. Love the tank, and love your enthusiasm for the hobby. Thanks again, Joey~!
I'm not particularly fond of oscars, but i have no issue with "the public"'s choice. They can be very interesting fish. One thing I'd like to see you showcase is a brackish tank though. You say that the gallery is to showcase what _can_ be done, and brackish is something that often gets forgotten. Archerfish and/or a few mudskippers and you will have your next favourite tank, trust me.
I love him and his name fits him . And the boat is perfect also , to me it was the right thing to do. And now he even looks happy in this tank , so much better than at the store . You we're spot on getting Mr. Hook Love it
You have pretty much only natural looking tanks in the gallery, so one themed tank isn't going to hurt. It's a hobby, it's supposed to be fun, and that tank is really funny, love it!
I have a themed tank in my classroom. I teach Special Education. What do you think gets more attention - the fish or the treasure test? Hint: not the fish. We have to realize tanks aren't always about us. I bet Joey's kids like the Oscar tank best too. I would name the pleco "Crock" keeping to the Peter Pan theme.
I have to say that I usually prefer natural aquariums, but sometimes a themed tank is really fun. I love Oscars. They are definitely one of my favorites. I think Frank has some competition now! Also, that is a beautiful pleco. Love the whole fun concept!
I love his name, and the ship is a great touch! And so what if other people hate it? You said you weren't happy with that tank and now you seem to be enjoying it a lot more! That's all that matters. Also, they're both beautiful 💕
My two youngest boys are 3 and 6... they are huge fans. They LOVE the new tank. It is their favourite!! Thank you. (Even their sisters and older brothers love it too :)
I agree with Pleco pan. And Captain Hook was a brilliant name! Matches the Oscar perfectly. Can't wait to see more videos of the two! Also loving the black substrate. Brings out the contrast really well for both fish. Not sure if you give the tank names, but a cool name for the tank would be the black sea for the black substrate. Anyways, really excited for the next video! Good job!
As a kid I used to love those treasure chest air bubble ornaments in themed aquariums. I still want to see a Puffer fish in your collection one day Joey! Love the Pleco, The L102 or snowball pleco is my favourite though.
I love how excited you get when you're in a pet store lol. Plus, I love the ship in there, its different from your other tanks and it looks really nice in there. You should get that other oscar and put him in your pond. He was so beautiful and big :) I have 3 oscars myself. They are such neat fish and that pleco was really cool looking.
I know every one is suggesting Peter for the pleco, but Captain Hook’s first mate was Mr. Smee! Since they are tank mates I think naming the sunshine pleco Mr. Smee is an idea
I am not an Oscar fan, but they are cool fish and super popular in the hobby; good choice. I like Cpt. Hook and I like the diversity that the ship represents. I also think a skull would be a good addition. OH, love the Pleco, even though I don't care for Plecos.
Even though I didn't necessarily want you to get an oscar, the tank looks pretty good. You just need to call the pleco Mr. Smee, and get a bubble chest/treasure chest to at least round out the look and feel of the tank. Maybe add in a Peter Pan ^_-
My fish recently lost his right eye from a bully fish. His eye is healing up nicely. We now call him One-eyed Willy and I'll be redecorating the tank in a Goonies/pirate theme. So seeing this video gave me ideas as to what my tank would look like. I already have black substrate so I'm going to get a ship and some skull/treasure chest decorations!!
This is exactly the kind of tank that helps get my kids excited about aquariums! They usually watch over my shoulder but this video, they took the phone to watch!! Thank you!!
Man, aquariums should be fun. Getting a hook-tailed Oscar, naming him Captain Hook, and giving him a pirate ship is super fun. And any aquarium gallery worth its salt needs a damn silly, themed aquarium. I think this is perfect.
Been watching for a while and I have to say I really love this set up. The black sand with the themed ship are perfect for both fish. Capt Hook is the perfect name for him also~karen
U don’t have to explain urself to anyone I think it’s cool to have goofy tanks as well as serious ones that copy the environment the fish would be in 👍🏼 I love Captain Hook
Love this tank! And I love your enthusiasm about it. To go from hating it to "I don't what anybody thinks, I like it" and laughing with glee is awesome!
While an oscar wouldn't have been my choice, he's still adorable and I love seeing how excited you were to get him! I personally adore the fact that his tank is less realistic - you have to deviate sometimes!
I am stoked you got an Oscar, especially a full grown one. There are so many people I know, and have tried to warn, that have gotten an Oscar not knowing the care that goes into having one. This is a great way of educating people on a much loved fish in the hobby.
The Tank is looking great Joey. I used to have the black send in one of my aquariums, a while back and it looked good there. It does bring out the color on your fish really well. My idea of having Odessa Barbs and Black Ruby Barbs would also have looked great with that substrate. Good luck going forward with your Pirate theme. The ship looks great. "Pirates of the Caribbean -by way of Nova Scotia"!! Happy Fishkeeping! Avast there, Joey!!
I love it bro great job.. it's all about fun and what makes you happy,, and like u said it's to help inspire others maybe to just ask questions who knows but I like it and that pleco is awesome looking
I was rooting for an axolotl, but I do like that Oscar, particularly after you named him Captain Hook and got him a ship. I love the name and decorations and who cares if they're not natural? It's great. You should name the pleco Mr. Smee.
Personally, I think you should showcase a heavily planted tank with a schooling fish, Amano style. They are unique in that if done right, you don't need water changes, and the plants do all the work for you. I think that would be a cool thing to show off on your channel. That aside, El Capitan Hook is an amazing addition!
I don’t know why you apologize so much. You don’t need to apoligize to anyone. It’s your aquarium and by apologizing you’re sending a wrong message, one that implies that we should behave in the hobby to please others instead of pleasing and enjoying ourselves.
Just yesterday there was no aquarium gallery....and today you have tons of aquarium... Just love it so much❤❤❤ ...been following you since you had buddy in that wall type thing tank.....first video i saw was how to build a sump i guess... Just love it...got a six foot tank built specifically for Oscar's btw 😀✌..love this channel keep going❤
LOL, you had way to much fun with captain hook. Don't try to make everyone happy Joey. Just make sure you feel good about what you're doing and we will too!
Love the Oscar and Pleco! :) Not too thrilled about the toy ship but that's just my preference (Not into gimicky tanks) but that's just me. :) It's funny though!
i like it! i usually prefer the community tanks but having a single "pet" fish is really great as well, gives you a much stronger connection with your fish. I remember watching you start the gallery way back when and thinking "this guy is nuts but ill still watch anyway" and look at how far you've progressed. Big thanks for all you do on this channel, know its a lot of hard work
In a couple days... i have some INSANE fish arriving... I have a ton of work to do to prepare for them in the mean time. Can you guess what they are? ALSO!!! Im on instagram!! Follow me: instagram.com/uarujoey/
Go for a big reef tank
The king of DIY please make 1 tank of betta sorority pleaseee
I think the black substrate will go well with the ship and the fish
Hope they are pufferfish
Please get some Red Devil cichlids

Plecos name should be Mr. Smee.
Mr. Smee is captains hooks first shipmate in Peter Pan.
Great tank and it’s not childish at all, it’s a great change from your other tanks! Also the pleco must be called MR SMEE!!
If the pleco and Captain Hook get along and you decide to keep them together long term, you’ll have to name the pleco “Smee.” A Captain needs his first mate.
Captain Hook look great! Contrast of colour is awesome, yellows and the dark substrate. Pleco is so cool as well!

You should name the Pleco SMEE, as captain hook's helper.
Wow! He's perfect. I wanted puffers but he is stunning. I also think you should name his first mate Smee!
You should get a crocodile skull also for the capt hook theme
Oscar: Cpt. Hook
Pleco: Mr. Smee
Aquarium/Tank: Neverland
Joey: The boy who never grew up
🧚♂️🧚♀️🐊
Yes!! My thoughts too
While I wasn't a fan of the Oscar idea at first, I love that you adopted Cpt Hook and gave him a home. Love the tank, and love your enthusiasm for the hobby. Thanks again, Joey~!
Carey Finding if the pleco was a male bristlenose, Dave’s Jones would fit so well
You should name the pleco Mr. Smee that's hooks side kick!!
I'm not particularly fond of oscars, but i have no issue with "the public"'s choice. They can be very interesting fish.
One thing I'd like to see you showcase is a brackish tank though. You say that the gallery is to showcase what _can_ be done, and brackish is something that often gets forgotten.
Archerfish and/or a few mudskippers and you will have your next favourite tank, trust me.
You should keep with the theme and call the pleco Smee. I love the novelty themed tank, btw. And so happy to see you enjoying it so much.
I love him and his name fits him . And the boat is perfect also , to me it was the right thing to do. And now he even looks happy in this tank , so much better than at the store . You we're spot on getting Mr. Hook
Love it
Love the ship, the sand, and Captain Hook (as well as his name) is beyond adorable. OMG you should name the pleco Mr. Smee to keep up the theme!
And Joey can be the boy who never grew up :D It might be easier to get him into that costume than the mermaid one. Purely for the theme of course...
But of course, all for the good of the theme... lol :)
Omg the suggestions of naming the Pleco Mr. Smee are amazing. I love that!!
I think the ship looks really nice with the background, actually!
You have pretty much only natural looking tanks in the gallery, so one themed tank isn't going to hurt. It's a hobby, it's supposed to be fun, and that tank is really funny, love it!

That's great! I agree with you, it's not always about us.
I was thinking that name for the pleco too!
Another star has been born. Welcome Captain Hook!
It’s needs the classic bubbling treasure chest! but it’s a great contrast to the rest off the gallery,I would move the ship in front of the roots
call the pleco TICK-TOCK because thats the crocodiles name in the captain hook movie!!
Yes
Captain Hook and Smee!
I have to say that I usually prefer natural aquariums, but sometimes a themed tank is really fun. I love Oscars. They are definitely one of my favorites. I think Frank has some competition now! Also, that is a beautiful pleco. Love the whole fun concept!
I love his name, and the ship is a great touch! And so what if other people hate it? You said you weren't happy with that tank and now you seem to be enjoying it a lot more! That's all that matters. Also, they're both beautiful 💕
Can we please name that pleco Smee? Because Smee is Captain Hook's sidekick and it would be funny
You have to name the pleco Smee, he was hooks right hand man
Call the pleco Mr. Smee!!!!! Hooks sidekick. 😁
You should name the pleco MR. SMEE!!!
Best video yet.... New favorite tank!!! I wouldn't have done anything different.
My two youngest boys are 3 and 6... they are huge fans. They LOVE the new tank. It is their favourite!! Thank you. (Even their sisters and older brothers love it too :)
I agree with Pleco pan. And Captain Hook was a brilliant name! Matches the Oscar perfectly. Can't wait to see more videos of the two! Also loving the black substrate. Brings out the contrast really well for both fish. Not sure if you give the tank names, but a cool name for the tank would be the black sea for the black substrate.

Pleco Pan and Captain Hook. The tank looks awesome
As a kid I used to love those treasure chest air bubble ornaments in themed aquariums. I still want to see a Puffer fish in your collection one day Joey! Love the Pleco, The L102 or snowball pleco is my favourite though.
I love how excited you get when you're in a pet store lol. Plus, I love the ship in there, its different from your other tanks and it looks really nice in there. You should get that other oscar and put him in your pond. He was so beautiful and big :) I have 3 oscars myself. They are such neat fish and that pleco was really cool looking.
Since u have a Captain Hook you should name the Pleco Smee ..
can we please call the pleco Smee... that would be awesome. also i love this channel.
Love the Sunshine pleco. Need a Scull in that tank Joey
Oh Joey, you decide to let us choose the tank and now we've got captain hook and a random pleco.
Classic Joey.
I like the ship~ most of your tanks are very natural so i think it'll be cool to have something like that for the new tank just for a change 😁
I know every one is suggesting Peter for the pleco, but Captain Hook’s first mate was Mr. Smee! Since they are tank mates I think naming the sunshine pleco Mr. Smee is an idea
I second that!
I am not an Oscar fan, but they are cool fish and super popular in the hobby; good choice. I like Cpt. Hook and I like the diversity that the ship represents. I also think a skull would be a good addition. OH, love the Pleco, even though I don't care for Plecos.
both those fish look amazing with the black sand. and the boat cracks me up xD
You should name the pleco Smee.
Even though I didn't necessarily want you to get an oscar, the tank looks pretty good. You just need to call the pleco Mr. Smee, and get a bubble chest/treasure chest to at least round out the look and feel of the tank. Maybe add in a Peter Pan ^_-
Love this new addition to the gallery.. Captain Hook and the placo should be Mr. Smee.. Lmao..
Don't forget that plecos need driftwood in their tanks...Love the fishes and the name as well as the ship... perfect!
To me, i was okay with anything as long as Joey is happy, cause if he’s happy then we get better videos and more passion
Hey, if u do end up keep pleco in with the Oscar you should name it Mr.smee, captain hooks sidekick.
Plz do so, but then again it is just a thought.
You’re awesome Joey! Don’t listen to the “haters” I can tell you’re having fun and that’s what this hobby is all about.
"I don't want him. I need him." Every fishkeeper's excuse for getting a new fish, am I right?
My fish recently lost his right eye from a bully fish. His eye is healing up nicely. We now call him One-eyed Willy and I'll be redecorating the tank in a Goonies/pirate theme. So seeing this video gave me ideas as to what my tank would look like. I already have black substrate so I'm going to get a ship and some skull/treasure chest decorations!!
The oscar is a great addition to the gallery! Love the black substrate.
That pleco is beautiful! You should call him Peter!
I think you should add a small bubble treasure chest to finish the tank off!
Perfect!
@@YonzyTV 👎
I love the set up! Captain Hook is a great name too.
I love him and the ship! Oscars are such pretty fish. Name the pleco Smee!! I can't wait to see what's next! ^^
This is exactly the kind of tank that helps get my kids excited about aquariums! They usually watch over my shoulder but this video, they took the phone to watch!! Thank you!!

U don’t have to explain urself to anyone I think it’s cool to have goofy tanks as well as serious ones that copy the environment the fish would be in 👍🏼 I love Captain Hook
Yah,how many tanks with piles of sticks do we need to see? Nice having a change up.
Captain Hook and the ship wreck with black sand is perfect! Peter Pan would be a good tank mate name.
Love it!!! Great name and great tank!!!!!!
Love this tank! And I love your enthusiasm about it. To go from hating it to "I don't what anybody thinks, I like it" and laughing with glee is awesome!
Does that mean the Pleco is going to be called Mr. Smee?
The ship is fine but add some rocks and wood arround it to make it bit natural and for the pleco
While an oscar wouldn't have been my choice, he's still adorable and I love seeing how excited you were to get him! I personally adore the fact that his tank is less realistic - you have to deviate sometimes!
If that plec goes into the tank with Capt. Hook, it MUST be named Smee.
I know right?! It needs to be done!
Name the pleco Smee, since it's a timid fish :D
I am stoked you got an Oscar, especially a full grown one. There are so many people I know, and have tried to warn, that have gotten an Oscar not knowing the care that goes into having one. This is a great way of educating people on a much loved fish in the hobby.
That tank on the side of your house that you put in your last video, make it a betta sorority!
Wasn’t Captain Hooks’ first mate called Smee? If they do get along, you might call the pleco Smee
The Tank is looking great Joey. I used to have the black send in one of my aquariums, a while back and it looked good there. It does bring out the color on your fish really well.

CAPTAIN HOOK & PETER THE PLECO!!! Looks awesome joey, I love the oscars colors!
Love Captain Hook!! ❤️👍
Captain Hook looks awesome. he has like sprinkles of gold on him to.
"I don't want him I need him". LOL literally me every time I see a new strain of Bettas
I like the ship. Please name the Pleco Mr Smee
The Pleco is going to be named Mr. Smee right?
Has to be. Blasphemy if not.
Personally, I think you should showcase a heavily planted tank with a schooling fish, Amano style. They are unique in that if done right, you don't need water changes, and the plants do all the work for you. I think that would be a cool thing to show off on your channel. That aside, El Capitan Hook is an amazing addition!
Perfect choice with the Oscar and the sunshine
Captain Hook needs a Crocodile Tank Decoration.....
Yes Oscars, everyone's big fish gateway drug. You also NEEEDDDD a treasure chest bubbler
Captain hook needs a parrot... get a parrot fish🤘
I think themed aquariums are fun I do natural tanks as well but it's fun to change it up a little
Captain Hook is an awesome name - you should keep the pleco with him and call it Mr Smee
Seconded! Smee the Sunshine x'D
Great suggestion!
I'm loving Captain Hook 😍
I don’t know why you apologize so much. You don’t need to apoligize to anyone. It’s your aquarium and by apologizing you’re sending a wrong message, one that implies that we should behave in the hobby to please others instead of pleasing and enjoying ourselves.
Just yesterday there was no aquarium gallery....and today you have tons of aquarium...
Just love it so much❤❤❤ ...been following you since you had buddy in that wall type thing tank.....first video i saw was how to build a sump i guess...
Just love it...got a six foot tank built specifically for Oscar's btw 😀✌..love this channel keep going❤
The pleco should be named Mr. Smee for sure (cap hooks right hand man)
Good choices, nice to see a fish with a cool scar adopted. Go with the pirate theme ☠😂
LOL, you had way to much fun with captain hook. Don't try to make everyone happy Joey. Just make sure you feel good about what you're doing and we will too!
Love the Oscar and Pleco! :) Not too thrilled about the toy ship but that's just my preference (Not into gimicky tanks) but that's just me. :) It's funny though!
Feeling like Frank might get some competition HE'S COOL AF
i like it! i usually prefer the community tanks but having a single "pet" fish is really great as well, gives you a much stronger connection with your fish. I remember watching you start the gallery way back when and thinking "this guy is nuts but ill still watch anyway" and look at how far you've progressed.

Pleco should be named Mr.Shmee!
Name the sunshine pleco mr smee lol
