Hey Cory. Those pencilfish (nannostomus espei) are from french Guyana and Suriname, not Peru. Don't know if it really matters. I got them to breed many years ago with collected rainwater. I was in college so the fry didn't make it. One of my favorite videos.
Just a quick note, at right around 13:26 in the video Cory pans up to the Claro pleco tank. Most of them are in caves but you will see 4 or 5 eggs outside one of the caves. They had just spawned and my guess is that when the female was allowed to leave the cave some of the eggs were pulled out with her. In all I collected up 12 of these eggs, (they are quite large, about 3mm) and put them into an egg tumbler. Two of them fungused and were removed, the other 10 have all hatched and will become baby claro plecos despite them being pulled out of the cave. The male is still sitting on the rest of the clutch of fry.
You guys don't know how much you inspire and motivate me... Every time I get the notification ''Aquarium Co-Op just uploaded a new video'' I get a smile on my face because I know it's going to be a good one! This right here is what I call professional content. It was enjoyable as usual, I watched the unboxing with Dean 3 times now and I still love it! He is lucky to have such a nice looking fish room and I'm sure he spends hours on it each day. No algae, clean glass, you name it. It's insane! Lumpy would be a great name for the Lungfish! Cory and Jimmy, you guys did a great job on filming and editing this. It wish it was longer. I hope in the future, we will see more of his fishroom! I remember a year ago, the quality has increased tremendously. Keep up the good work guys! Love the content!
No as we all have different types of fish that we personally love so it needs tweeking for each of us. But it is a very nice set up. I need racks of ten gallons for killifish with more live cultures to feed fry and adults than he has. I need ponds for my other loves Koi. Still trying to figure a way to make an indoor pond in the basement that my other half will approve ;)
@@johncox8882 this is incredibly late, but most feed stores sell large water troughs (300 gallons+) that make great ponds. Not sure where you’d get a filter though.
That is a awesome setup. I am very envious of the trip and how lucky you were to get those beautiful fish. I just gotta say the healthiest most lush plants I ever grew had 2 inches of gravel with a medium air pump on a under gravel filter 25 years ago in a 55. Literally added a few plants at a time starting a week after setup, never did a water change or fed plants. I have never had plants that nice again,,,, oh and the tank was up and running for 5 years, the filter tray crumbled when I tore down the tank.
I prefer the under-gravel filters, as well. They work great and no mess cleaning filter media. Also, if the electric goes off there is no worry about the HOB type filter starting again.
6' x 10' cells at Sarasota County jail... I'm sooo glad I'm 5+ years sober and won't be visiting that place anymore...!!! Another great one...! Keep it up...!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Before I die I will have Dean’s rams!! Now, I’m off to tell Joel, you and Dean did a video just to troll him and his guppy failure. 🤣🤣
Have been working with a breeding pair of Wild Tefe Discus. Like these, mine hated the glass bottom. I cut ceramic tile to fit the bottom. It took awhile, but now they will actually break the surface when I feed them. Huge difference.
I shooed everyone out of the house so I could watch this video in peace and quiet. Those Angels Dean brought back from Peru are the most beautiful Angels I've ever seen! So many other great fish - I'll just say WOW!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video, Dean is truly an aquatic inspiration. House hunting (like Cory!) in the bay area right now and already keeping an eye out for a potential future fish room. Can’t wait to see the next video about rams as I am trying my hand breeding them and would to see Dean’s process. Loved the mention about culling as that’s a topic, while unpleasant, needs to happen in order for the hobby to continue. Would also love to see what Dean looks for in his Koi angels. Nice work!
I had a SA lungfish, he was very speckled and his name was Lumpy. He was over 16" when I rehomed him to an aquarist with Monster tanks. Love this video to see all the fish from that earlier video. Thank Dean for sharing with us, I always learn something new when you have him on. I assume you are using a new camera, I think the video is super professional.
Dean can use a primer to make sure the silicone doesnt release from the tile, (retired dow corning here), so use something like a 2 part epoxy to adhere to the tile, let that cure then apply the silicone...
So why won't the silicone stay stuck to the slate over time? Is it because eventually the becomes completely saturated with water? I find it lasts about 8 months. Wouldn't there be the same issue with the epoxy staying stuck to the slate. Someone said to try a hot glue gun and it would stay, but haven't tried that yet.
the tile leaches and outgases various compounds kind of like wood, I've used epoxy to adhere silicone to wood for a porch threshold and it worked great, Believe me it'll work. give it a try.Hot glue might work but I think you'd have the same issue besides hot glue oxidizes over time even in water and becomes brittle unlike silicone.
I've had a cloudy tank going on three weeks now. I think it's a bacterial bloom but it's really not going away. Fish seem fine though. After a water change it's better but within a day or so it's back to completely cloudy. I was feeding heavily before but once it clouded up I reduced feeding significantly. Three weeks ago I did a water change and very thoroughly cleaned the substrate on my cichlid tank and had to replace the filter sponge because no amount of cleaning was unclogging it from the brown algae. I've been fighting the cloudy water ever since.
Tell Dean to start another type of guppy now before the market gets full of his current type. All guppy breeders for money need two to five strains. Just like you told him to throw a few young selected pairs in a community tank with no other guppies to keep offspring pure for a few months then start back. I made money off guppies but they are not my passion. I am thinking about doing them again due to the money as when the fish room makes money the other half does not mind my obsession to bad.
I gotta say that would be awesome if Dean also went on the Peru trip. I totally cannot wait for that video. Oh hey Jimmy...Im with ya about that humidity...oooohf...That would just about be a deal breaker for me too LOL I cant stand it

What’s the best food for guppies and bettas that they actually like ? 🦦

I’d love to see the culling process you go through, why you cull some fish and not others
I cannot get on-board with culling fish for aesthetic reasons. I thought we were keeping fish because we love fish?
You guys don't know how much you inspire and motivate me...

totally agree
Dean has the fish room of anyone's dreams.....

You mean fish house.
Agreed super jealous
no Dean doesnt care about looks ,What ever his fish room is very clean and neat .Lol, we love you Dean
THanks Cory for a lengthy video which hadnt come in quite a few time. His fishroom is impressively clean, well kept and organized, very nice video.
I really enjoy seeing Dean's fish. The ones he brought back from Peru are especially cool. The brochis at 4:21 are my favorite. So cute!
I love it when you visit this guy and his fish!
The man in a legend, loved the video so thanks, Dean, Cory, and Jimmy!
You and the Dean videos is reason why I run my tank with Angels and rams, and of course some clown loaches.
Cory thanks for addressing the website question. I've been searching hi/low for his information. lol He's a master..
Dean is the man! Love to see what he has in his stock. What a great guy. 👍👍👍👍
Love Deans fish room his tanks are so nice, love the look of the pea gravel in the tanks that have under gravel filters.
That is a awesome setup. I am very envious of the trip and how lucky you were to get those beautiful fish. I just gotta say the healthiest most lush plants I ever grew had 2 inches of gravel with a medium air pump on a under gravel filter 25 years ago in a 55.

Great video, really appreciate deans fishroom and his methods. Truly a legend in the making
Intro was 10/10!
So much work go's into his fish room , you can see that by how the fish and the tanks look. Great work mate. so many great ideas for my fish room.
Awww, Lumpy's not gross... he's just misunderstood. 😉
Lumpy was Wally and Eddie Haskell's best friends
Dean's fish room is amazing. I love seeing how all his breeding projects are coming along.
Best fish pictures I love it...Thank you Jimmy and Cory...
Thank You Dean, Cory, and Jimmy for sharing this.
Always love to see dean's fish room. Thanks for the update and I hope he gets to go on the trip that would be awesome!! 😊
Just an awesome fish room. Thank you Dean and Cory for sharing. One day I wish to have a fish room as awesome.
I have been waiting for this update, and it is finally here!
I really enjoyed this video. I liked the initial unboxing, and this update is marvelous. I learned a lot from it.
Watching this vid for the kazzilionth time. Cory, I can’t get enough of your vids with Dean. 🤙
Dean awesome stuff. Truly a inspiration, one of the cleanest most organized fish rooms i've seen. Thanks Cory
I adore Deans fish room! Dean is great, the fish are amazing!
I prefer the under-gravel filters, as well. They work great and no mess cleaning filter media. Also, if the electric goes off there is no worry about the HOB type filter starting again.
Forget the Tide Pod Challenge, it's the Sera O-Nip tab challenge 32:07
Lol!
awsome. love to see a tour with people with passion in this hobby
Awesome Dean update! What an inspirational man and fish room 😀

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Before I die I will have Dean’s rams!! Now, I’m off to tell Joel, you and Dean did a video just to troll him and his guppy failure. 🤣🤣
Dean could teach a masters class in awesome.
return of Dean the legend. Good video!
Have been working with a breeding pair of Wild Tefe Discus. Like these, mine hated the glass bottom. I cut ceramic tile to fit the bottom. It took awhile, but now they will actually break the surface when I feed them. Huge difference.
They are the cleanest tanks I've ever seen...
Dean is so great! His fish room is just amazing! I really enjoyed watching this.
Cory! The editing on your channel is awesome! Great intro👍
Those discus were my favorite!!!
Great video, I can't get enough of Deans fish room he does so much in so little room.
This videos are soooo long but I can’t stop enjoying them 😅
Dean is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I'll say that again.....DEAN IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Thank you
I shooed everyone out of the house so I could watch this video in peace and quiet.
Those Angels Dean brought back from Peru are the most beautiful Angels I've ever seen!
So many other great fish - I'll just say WOW!
DEAN! Can't wait to see you on RFT! Hopefully soon!

The Lumpydog likes the Lumpy Fish. Nice video as always. Thanks for putting it together and sharing it. Cheers.
Love Dean's fish room. Especially loved seeing the Farlowella
Thumbs up for the intro!
Those are beautiful wild caught angelfish! Great video :)
When dean said the Fluval thing 😂
I LOVE Dean's fish room!
Always love seeing Deans fish room and his tips and insights. Great Video guys 👍
I feels like I need to upgrade my filtration system of all my tanks after watching this video.
Thanks for sharing, Dean. Beautiful set-up you've got there. BTW, I like the name, Lumpy, too.
I got so many ideas from this video to improve my own fishroom. Thanks!
Dean needs to go to Peru and a bonus would be Jimmy!!! Do it! Do it!
Love both of these videos!
I had a SA lungfish, he was very speckled and his name was Lumpy. He was over 16" when I rehomed him to an aquarist with Monster tanks. Love this video to see all the fish from that earlier video. Thank Dean for sharing with us, I always learn something new when you have him on. I assume you are using a new camera, I think the video is super professional.
We've had these cameras for a couple of months now, just that we took the time to edit this longer than normal. Thanks for noticing :)
Man I love this channel it's always interesting
love the intro keep up the good work and thanks for all the help
That brine shrimp shot at 42:40 is amazing camera work!
dean is awesome! watching now!
8:26 lol the angelfish were like yay fooood! Then you can see the disappointment when they see theres no food😂😂
a lot of people have fish rooms that look kind of..well not so nice. I love how neat and tidy Dean's fish room is.
Evidence throughout the whole video that fish do well on nutrifin and tetra. I'm a big fan of SERA food as well.

think of the silicone like a coating or a paint that needs the RIGHT substrate to bond to
This is just awesome to watch

I've been fighting the cloudy water ever since.
Dean - please go back to Peru, bring back tons of fish & do a live unbox reveal :-)
Very impressive GBR set ups. Dean is the man!
So jealous of this fishroom
I love these videos.... I think you could visit once a month and learn something every time.
I totally could, Dean being available that often is unlikely though :(
Dean in Paru .. Dean in Paru.. Dean in Paru!!! Awesome video .. tfs
Those wild greens are really nice, they would absolutelly glow in a biotop tank. Are there any videos/pics/blogs from Deans collecting in Peru?
great to see this update. the lung fish stands out, but I can't believe how hardy angel fish are
by the way, a cyst on the dorsal fin might have just been a "fat bubble." They gain those after eating a lot
Well worth being exhausted to watch (boo time change). Thanks gents!!
Dean - Peru - Mud
Cheerz!!
Love Dean
Awesome seeing that lungfish thriving
Cool update!
Dean is pro goals!!!
Dean has some cool looking stuff!
Tell Dean to start another type of guppy now before the market gets full of his current type. All guppy breeders for money need two to five strains.

Awesome fish room!
What an amazing display. I was thinking about getting back into the hobby and my first thought was guppies. Now it's my only thought lol.
Dean is my hero!
Fantastic :)
This is really wish my fish room was like that😜😂☺️
