More videos like this please. There is a whole world out there of hobbyists who have amazing tanks but don't have a social media outlet to show them off. Joey you could do the world a favor here and become the go between. I think these types of videos are always great.
Joey, you make me laugh how you NEVER let people finish telling their story. Every time you talk to someone, you'll ask them something and as soon as they start their "cool story", you're like "are you injecting CO2!?" I die laughing every time you do it!!! 🤣🤣🤣
hello im guessing youre the owner of the fish tank. I have a few questions, how does the algae affect your nitrate level and your water changes routine. The tank looks really cool! TIA.
Really enjoyed seeing this Oscar tank! Like to see you do more! Thanks for sharing another hobbiests home tanks. Was fun to see, and yes that algea is amazing!
I know she's recovering, and not sure what she still has, but I really hope we get an update someday. I'd wager she still has her bichirs, old boy oscar, and the hillstream nano tank. I really miss her channel.
Fighting algae is pointless in my opinion.. it's only beneficial for the tank & helps keep water clean.. it just doesn't always "look" pleasing. I only clean off plants if algae is suffocating them. Other than that, I leave it. In my tanks though, I add so many plants that eventually, the algae won't be able to keep up anyway.
One of the reason why I "love" algae. If Blackbeard algae can look that beautiful, green algae that look like a football grass is even more fascinating.
I love this setup! I've got my ~8in albino tiger oscar in a dirted, planted 75 gallon with a blood parrot, spotted raphael catfish, 2 jack dempseys, and 2 common plecos! I'm running an Eheim 1500xl filter on the tank and I've got anubias and a giant amazon sword and jungle val in there! My oscar Gene also loves to be dramatic! He freaks me out sometimes when it looks like he's dying, but he just wants attention!
That Oscar is a Mango. Really hard to find outside of India and expensive. My friend snagged one for cheap from Petco that they must have mistakenly gotten in.
You should meet Tanner Serpa and have a collaboration. He makes BEAUTIFUL aquariums and can probably work with you and you guys could make a neat blending of your styles.
Lol this oscar reminds me off mine i have mine in with smaller fish he has never eaten any off them. I even tried feeding him a frozen silver fish he check it out and swam away.
It's almost impossible to permanently kill Black beard algae. It gets everywhere. You can scrape all you want and its still comes back. I've boiled decorations with BBA and it still came back.
very rare to see the contrast of aggresive and non aggresive fish kind of like owning a cat and a dog and then to add a bichir in the end really knocked it out of the park for me lol
I’ve been rolling the all natural Blackbeard growth for years, when my buddies ask why the tank is “dirty” I simply ask when was the last time you stuck your head in the river and it was perfectly clean and clear 🤷🏼♂️
I hate people who respond 'yeah cool, but you should check mine out'... but after seeing that oscar tank, you should definetly come and visit my Oscar tank😂
My tiger oscar might be bigger. It's hard to say, of course. Mine doesn't have the character, though. I had a Red Albino that I was hoping would grow out to be that big, too, but switch was flipped in the tiny brains of the growout tank residents, and he was killed by his tank mates. My algae isn't as extensive as theirs either, but his tankmates include a Venezuelan Pike, a Jack Dempsey, a Green Texas, a Salvini, a Convict and an Angel, plus a Striped Raphael, a Jaguar Wood Cat, and an L047 Mango Pleco
Have a look at RodneysFishTank 🙂. He has the biggest albino red Oscar I have ever seen. Best view is in the video "Wasserwechsel bei meinem 7500l Aquarium". Greetings from germany ✌🏼
i love the algae carpet. I always had a dream of this kind of tank setup thinking the algae will help control the nitrates level better than doing water changes and the lazy as$ i am thinking i'll be doing less water changes lol. I wonder how long it took to grow that much carpet and how much nitrates are there and how it affects her doing water changes routine. And she probably scrub the front glass only to have that look. So cool!
We are so lazy, yes I scrubbed the front glass so we can see him. :) We do weekly 25% water changes and clean the filters about every 6 months. We never have problems with nitrates or ammonia spikes. I'm very sure that the algae contributes to that. The carpet has been growing for at least 3 years now.
Oscar's are very special.i use to have one and he was huge.i would feed him dry food fish sticks and he would come out of his tank like a orca whale to get it.he know exactly who would feed him.he got so big I didnt w as not to go bigger on my tank so he went back to the pet store where they had a huge display tank.
Your Oscar is laying on his side because your pH is too low you need to bring that ph up to at least 7.5 or 8:00 when he's laying on his side like that that means he is suffocating you should really look into that and fix it
My dream tank is: 6 oscar fish (tiger oscar) + 12-15 Mesonauta festivus + 8-12 Severums and some bottom dwellers. Dream tank, because I need like 3m x 1m x 0,7m (300cm x 100cm x 70cm) tank, AT LEAST I think.
oscar looks like he will commit war crimes at some point
😂
Ariel Sharon look alike.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nice :)
Great idea, I would love to watch videos like that.

I die laughing every time you do it!!! 🤣🤣🤣
It’s usually at uninteresting or weird stories too😂
Bro hes a proffesional he knows aquarium keeper will talk to much 😂
@@clostheman6562 nah I’m pretty sure he’s on the AD(H)D spectrum and his brain just goes too dang fast even for himself 😂
@@elianwolfert3879 Well one knows others through oneself 😜. I totally relate and can confirm.
Thanks for stopping by Joey. Hope y'all enjoy

I’m glad I got to see this in person, definitely an original and beautiful aquarium.
Really enjoyed seeing this Oscar tank! Like to see you do more! Thanks for sharing another hobbiests home tanks. Was fun to see, and yes that algea is amazing!
That Oscar is only not an evil genius because he is trapped in that ridiculous body and he knows it.
The energizer tank. It just keeps going and going and going and going!! Great to see @ScienceGalAquatics with you.
Reminds me of Rachel's old tank. I loved that large tank of hers with the bb algae
I know she's recovering, and not sure what she still has, but I really hope we get an update someday. I'd wager she still has her bichirs, old boy oscar, and the hillstream nano tank. I really miss her channel.
Someone: get rid of algae, they destroy your scape.
Joey: check this out.

Super cool tank. Thanks for sharing. Yes want to see more please. ✌️💗👍💯🔥
Really interesting tank! Love Oscar the grouch. He looks similar to my oscars, except their orange is brighter, and they don't have the underbite.
This tank would definitely trigger my OCD.
That algae on the back is out of this world.
Please continue with videos like this. I am always open to videos that help me enjoy the hobby. Thanks!
it seem thickest in the section infront of the window.. do we think the heat and sunlight helped grow that nice carpet on the back wall..?
High water flow areas is where bba thrives the most
I’m definitely thinking “what!”. For instance, how are they able to have plants with the Oscar? Mine eats everything.
Really loving spreading awareness for fish clubs ❤
You should go Florida and see waters whsts in them they Oscar's alot of exotic fishes there
An Oscar, a Kribensis, Convict Cichlids, a Bichir and either Guppies or Endlers. An interesting mix. Joey probably is going to replicate it 😂
Tht oscar hv some mental health issues...
Thts y those small fishes r still alive😂😂
Awesome!!! Blowing my mind the whole time!!!
Yes more, I think they would be just wonderful
I would like to find out about the plant awards huge teaser for a follow up
I like it.. and yes I would like to try.. the Blackbeard algae .. on the back like that too…. Would love to see more if there tanks..
This tank should go to guiness book of world record.... i never seen a oscar not eating small fish
That oscar is awesome. I have one with his coloration and oddly I got him along with two others and he is 4 times their size within 3 months..
One of the reason why I "love" algae. If Blackbeard algae can look that beautiful, green algae that look like a football grass is even more fascinating.
I love this setup! I've got my ~8in albino tiger oscar in a dirted, planted 75 gallon with a blood parrot, spotted raphael catfish, 2 jack dempseys, and 2 common plecos!

Fantastic. Loved it
Tour soon??? Were you show everything 🙌🙌
how many gallons
That's my sister! And her cat, Percy! And her fish, Oscar! He splashes people when he likes them 😊
Wow wonder how big that tank is? Looks like a 125
How big is that tank?
Black beard algae is the scourge of a high planted tank! Very had to get rid of. But it did look cool in that aquarium. Show us more please!
Yes I would love to see more
1:15 Oscar gives Joey the side eye.
I've been trying to get rid of black beard algae for years lol it is beautiful but I am afraid it's going to kill my plants
That Oscar is a Mango. Really hard to find outside of India and expensive. My friend snagged one for cheap from Petco that they must have mistakenly gotten in.
You should meet Tanner Serpa and have a collaboration. He makes BEAUTIFUL aquariums and can probably work with you and you guys could make a neat blending of your styles.
I had an Oscar that was afraid of other fish. It would run from everything alive
Cool 😎 reminds me of Rachel O'leary's monster tank
Let’s see some more tanks the Oscar tank with the black beard algae is beautiful I used to have Oscars they’re very fun to have their very puppy like
Rachel O'leary had a BBA tank like that. very cool !
Great video. Love Oscar and his tank.
Lol this oscar reminds me off mine i have mine in with smaller fish he has never eaten any off them. I even tried feeding him a frozen silver fish he check it out and swam away.
It's almost impossible to permanently kill Black beard algae. It gets everywhere. You can scrape all you want and its still comes back. I've boiled decorations with BBA and it still came back.
Reminds me of the GSP I stuck on the back of my reef tank
Show us the rest of their tanks Joey
that algae gives the same sort of vibe as the soft corals, maybe you should try to do an algae "scape" tank in the new setup.
We need to see their other tanks! If their even half as interesting as their Oscar tank
Yesh show them all
very rare to see the contrast of aggresive and non aggresive fish kind of like owning a cat and a dog and then to add a bichir in the end really knocked it out of the park for me lol
Honestly - that's a cool Oscar tank and great fish. Love the filtration. Over filtration always wins.
That Oscar looks like a St. Bernard lol
That tank is beautiful
Bichir I had one once. That was until the day he tried swimming down my Oscars mouth. 😂
What size tank is that?
It's a 125
Please show us more tanks from these aquarists.
I’ve been rolling the all natural Blackbeard growth for years, when my buddies ask why the tank is “dirty” I simply ask when was the last time you stuck your head in the river and it was perfectly clean and clear 🤷🏼♂️
I freaking love Oscar! Although, I think his nickname should be Joey 🤪 Smash that like button! I want to see what else they have!
I hate people who respond 'yeah cool, but you should check mine out'... but after seeing that oscar tank, you should definetly come and visit my Oscar tank😂
Such a small tank for such a big fish.
Right and the Oscar did not look like it was the healthiest, and black beard algae is really not desirable.
Absolutely stunning 😍
Great view sounds great audio fish aquarium.
I like the fish but not the tank--- that algae freaks me out.
I love this tank! I had Blackbeard algae in one of my tanks and unfortunately I killed it somehow. Lol. I just loved the way it looked. So cool
He’s a Gourami Oscar hybrid definitely😂 I would’ve called him, Guppy
Love the aquarium. That Oscar looks like its seen things. Lol. Jk. I love the flowing algae. Almost mesmerizing
I'm trying to get rid of blackbeard algae myself and it's hard as hell!
How old is this Oscar?
He is 6 years old
That tank is awesome.
Nice tank!
Yes do more of these vids. Please.
My tiger oscar might be bigger. It's hard to say, of course. Mine doesn't have the character, though. I had a Red Albino that I was hoping would grow out to be that big, too, but switch was flipped in the tiny brains of the growout tank residents, and he was killed by his tank mates.

And here i am scrubbing BBA off my drift wood with a toothbrush every water change😅
He’s so cool❤😂
back then i would freak out with Blackbeard algae now i want to have it in my tanks
I love the look on his face.😂
Less is more, until we take a closer look!
It would be nice to see the bichir.
The Oscar deserves one!
cool video, one of these days you might give the other people a mic so the volume is consistent.
Have a look at RodneysFishTank 🙂. He has the biggest albino red Oscar I have ever seen.
Best view is in the video "Wasserwechsel bei meinem 7500l Aquarium".
Greetings from germany ✌🏼
New to aquariums isnt black beard bad?
black beard algea for me grow in my high flow whit high disolved organics tanks that i never do maintenance on beside water changes
Have you ever considered adding Kribs to the gallery in some way, Joey?
That Oscar looks like the actor Billy Duke😬
Then I've got a tank you'd like. Blackbeard is my jam.
You sure that's not a swim bladder issue?
So odd he dosn’t go after the guppies.
I have a 20 year old Pacu that acts the same after every water change. I bet they did one when they knew you was coming.
Awesome, I love it
i love the algae carpet.

That’s pretty cool. I used to have a couple 17 inch Oscar’s
Oscar's are very special.i use to have one and he was huge.i would feed him dry food fish sticks and he would come out of his tank like a orca whale to get it.he know exactly who would feed him.he got so big I didnt w as not to go bigger on my tank so he went back to the pet store where they had a huge display tank.
Your Oscar is laying on his side because your pH is too low you need to bring that ph up to at least 7.5 or 8:00 when he's laying on his side like that that means he is suffocating you should really look into that and fix it
My dream tank is: 6 oscar fish (tiger oscar) + 12-15 Mesonauta festivus + 8-12 Severums and some bottom dwellers.
Dream tank, because I need like 3m x 1m x 0,7m (300cm x 100cm x 70cm) tank, AT LEAST I think.
I love this tank and what a karakter that Oscar has, my parrot cichlids can be like that to, like look at me feed me.
I want to pet the algea ... it looks so soft!!
Maybe a bigger tank ?
That’s my sons and daughter in laws tank with Oscar.
