Joey, you need a fish like the coppernose barb for this tank- they are an open water Congo River fish and they’d be darting back and forth in that 16 feet of tank all the time.
I’ve used pond Lillie’s on an open top tank before which create great shade for fish that like low light and a vallis like structure for fish that like living amongst grasses plus they’re beautiful to look at once they flower.
You could do so much more with the 16ft. It looks awful with the blue background and plants covered in algae. It's screaming out for loads of big driftwood, sorry Man
Electric Blue Acara aren’t dwarf Cichlids. They can get 5-6 inches and super thick. I have a breading pair and they lay eggs like once a week it seems which has led to a side gig for me lol. I have one of the babies in my 150 gallon planter tank and it is huge. Bigger than the parents now. They are very peaceful for the most part until they become breeding pairs and during spawn they can get mean.
Maybe he was confused with nanacara who are dwarfs, still have that acara personality from what I have heard with them being nice until they start breeding. Or he just thinks off them as dwarfs because off all the oscars he keeps.
Love the acara being added to the 16 foot. Question: what happened to all your rack system tanks? Is that a different room or have they all been removed? I haven’t seen them in ages. Thanks
Joey, build Tamara a little “She-Shed” in the back corner of your backyard, with a window, so she’s not in the basement! It’s a bit gloomy. Big builds are always great for UA-cam channels! That’d be great content for both of your channels! And having her own little full gallery would really level up her channel too!
Have someone or hire someone paint on the walls like ocean theme like you’re underwater like you’re swimming through the ocean and there’s coral and caves and light coming through certain sections I think that would be super cool and then little lights popping out here there
I wonder if you put three or four sucker fish in there the bristle nose pleco or zebra pleco or the Saigon Potamus or whatever you call them I know they get big they get really really big but I think they’re super cool looking
I went to your shop, I really wanted your book and ordered it. For whatever reason my payment was declined. Then went on the hunt couldn't find a copy, publisher nope. So what gives? Not happy.
Should check the german creek/stream that has fish dumped thousands of cichlids and about 80 thousand guppys etc the cichlids are cons normally pair up super territorial in larger space with no predators they seem to shoal there not dwarf though apistogrammer ram nd your shell dwellers are dwarf I'd put blues acara black acara geos a stalsbergi if you can find one and some nics
Then drop some swarms of dif tetra penguins maybe something that isnt to shy lol my lfs in England has 1 exodon only reason they know about them is because you had them so I ordered a group in years ago now they still stock them
I know u get flack for continually messing with ur tanks(me included in the past) but the reality of content creation is you gotta do something for a video. I think there's nothing wrong with that cus clearly the fish are healthy and thriving, plus if I had a 16 foot tank the last thing I'd do is leave it alone, I would be constantly brainstorming and thinking of what I could add
Joey, I'm sorry, but the blue background with all that allergy. Is the worst aquarium I ever see. I know you're trying to keep it real. But I don't think that Will encourages new Commerce in the hubby.
I love the idea of leaving it alone but let's be real Joey you can't leave nothing alone
What you on about? he left the piranha tank alone
Piranha tank has stayed the same for years now. Some people just like to complain 😅
The plants look good on the outside of the tanks, you could attach some drift wood on the empty parts of the wall and then hang greenery on them
Foliage, not Foilage. Tank looks great keep up the good work
Scenario, not Ontario
I was thrown off by that pronunciation, but maybe it's different in Canada. Kinda like aluminum in the UK.
@@Xarpolis its not :)
How does heating the gallery prevent you from growing plants above water? Don't tropical plants grow in way hotter environments?
Joey, you need a fish like the coppernose barb for this tank- they are an open water Congo River fish and they’d be darting back and forth in that 16 feet of tank all the time.
Yep Pothos plant will grow like crazy.
I’ve used pond Lillie’s on an open top tank before which create great shade for fish that like low light and a vallis like structure for fish that like living amongst grasses plus they’re beautiful to look at once they flower.

Electric blue acara are $19 for 1-2 in fish in Atlanta Georgia
Hey, Try aiming the co2 output into the filter intake. This should break up the bubbles.
JOEY the plant on the 16 Footer is so good
You should add some cool hillstream loaches specifically the gastromyzon there’s so many too choose from and colors and sizes
Pathos man!!! It is hot as hell in my basement an they grow just fine. An the fish love the roots
Agreed, pothos, philodendrons, and monsteras would do fine with some additional lighting.
Should definitely add background. It would definitely elevate the tank.
Joey, you leaving a tank alone to see what happens doesn't just happen😂 always itching
"Worse case Ontario." 😂 Great Rickyism!
Great addition of the Electric Blues. How about adding a larger shoaling tetra like the Buenos Aires Tetras?

Had to scroll a long while to see this. Definitely not dwarves, first time I’ve heard anyone call them that before. Had to do a double take.

Joey your channels amazing man. Keep up the grind. 👍
I keep forgetting you are colorblind. some fish i find hiddious, and you find them gorgeous. makes sense when you can only see shapes and spots etc.
Get a 3d background the blue isn’t it, love the rest
i really dont get the blue background on a "display tank"
Electric blue acaras are about 15.99 to 19.99 in pa
Wow what a specimen!!!
Gallery looking good
Put a common plec in, it will clean the tank up in no time
If it’s a fourth GEN captive bread stingray, they will be smaller
Love the plants
Love the acara being added to the 16 foot.
Question: what happened to all your rack system tanks? Is that a different room or have they all been removed? I haven’t seen them in ages. Thanks
Foliage 😂😂😂
How about adding a bunch of Rams and Corys?
Next time maybe try a dust pan scoop instead of net scoop off bottom
Add a couple Panda Gara to your 16 ft take. You need some good algae cleaners.
I love my panda garra Huge eater for its size
Worst case Ontario
Know you have the vision . . . . but a colony of shell dwellers would look really cool in the 16footer . . . .
I'm thinking, whatever happened to the little Panda Uaru you were raising up last year?
Get some blacklined tail tetras!! They’re flashy and a good size
Joey, build Tamara a little “She-Shed” in the back corner of your backyard, with a window, so she’s not in the basement! It’s a bit gloomy.
Big builds are always great for UA-cam channels! That’d be great content for both of your channels! And having her own little full gallery would really level up her channel too!
I agree, basement is not a good place to keep anything, it’s just a storage room not suitable for long periods of stay.
Have someone or hire someone paint on the walls like ocean theme like you’re underwater like you’re swimming through the ocean and there’s coral and caves and light coming through certain sections I think that would be super cool and then little lights popping out here there
You need some water hyacinth for your big freshwater aquariums
Apparently teacup stingrays are a thing. Who knew
logs and vines with chameleons crawling around
I wonder if you put three or four sucker fish in there the bristle nose pleco or zebra pleco or the Saigon Potamus or whatever you call them I know they get big they get really really big but I think they’re super cool looking
I remember when you first got frank
11:14 is he a runt perhaps 🤔
if you want to carry on the blue theme, how about the electric blue ram
You gotta name that stingray " Tyrion" from G.O.T.😅
Just curious. I tune in and out here and there. What happened to you brackish water tanks? I thought they were pretty cool.
How about some kribensis to go in the 16ft'er? 🤔
Have rummy nose tetras and stingrays together.i saw a video of them in the wild.appearently rummynose tetras school around stingrays.
You need to get the black phantom tetra
I think you need a few more Rays Joey 😅and maybe another Arowana 😅nice video buddy cheers 🍻
Where are you getting Acaras for $4.99 CAD??? In Maryland they are $15 USD at the cheapest.
They are 6.99$ at Pet smart in Michigan.
Electric blue acara are about $6-$7 ea in my state in the USA
Pothos can handle humidity
You need more tetras.
Worst Case Ontario you pronounce it "Foh-ledge" You do you king
Lookin good
You should name the sting ray Tyrion from Game of Thrones
Joey, you got more plants than our shop! 🙄
Get sum amano shrimp
Foliage vs Foilage
Put pothos or philodendron above
Why is the background blue?
Foil-lage 😂😂😂
Worst case Ontario?😂 Did you mean worst-case scenario?
It’s a trailer park boys reference lol
Come to Ontario you will get it
It’s not FOIL-age like aluminum foil… or someone getting “foiled”. Foliage (the leafy stuff) is pronounced like FOLEY-AGE. Beautiful fish and tanks.
foilage or foliage - is it Foil in canadian?
I went to your shop, I really wanted your book and ordered it. For whatever reason my payment was declined. Then went on the hunt couldn't find a copy, publisher nope. So what gives? Not happy.
The 16ft tank is so blah , "trust the process" to " im just going to leave it alone" .
Public comment was added to the comment section of this video just for the engagement!
Would bigger tetras be better off with the geos and large angels? Just saying.
I have a whole tank of blue acara 😅
lol! I'm just here to hear Joey say "foil-age"
it's pronounced foal-lee-age Joey! foliage!
Change the CO2 to a inline reactor, far less waste and no soda fizz Bro
the rent of the litter?
Should check the german creek/stream that has fish dumped thousands of cichlids and about 80 thousand guppys etc the cichlids are cons normally pair up super territorial in larger space with no predators they seem to shoal there not dwarf though apistogrammer ram nd your shell dwellers are dwarf I'd put blues acara black acara geos a stalsbergi if you can find one and some nics
Then drop some swarms of dif tetra penguins maybe something that isnt to shy lol my lfs in England has 1 exodon only reason they know about them is because you had them so I ordered a group in years ago now they still stock them
Lol 2-3" is technically a lot lol
Joey temu plant decor
Banger. Tanks are looking great 🎉
I f the ray has parasites, wouldn't it be better to treat before transfer.
Wait... Ocsars Lights go off... They get in sleeping together mode.... And you didnt play any Barry White for them???? C'mon Joey!!
Can telll the difference in acara’s by the point there dorsal the sharper pointer ones tend to be boys
hmm been scratching my head on this one honestly i think he’s just short like joey🤷🏻♂️
Is pronouncing foliage as foilage a Canadian thing or just a Joey thing?
$5, where?
Fo-lee-age. Not foil-age
Why aren't you put the king of DIY
I know u get flack for continually messing with ur tanks(me included in the past) but the reality of content creation is you gotta do something for a video. I think there's nothing wrong with that cus clearly the fish are healthy and thriving, plus if I had a 16 foot tank the last thing I'd do is leave it alone, I would be constantly brainstorming and thinking of what I could add
Foliage
Fo-lee-age.
Not foil-age.
You can't add acaras to tetras, they're aggressive
Maybe it is that dirty tank
🎉
Hey
Joey, I'm sorry, but the blue background with all that allergy. Is the worst aquarium I ever see. I know you're trying to keep it real. But I don't think that Will encourages new Commerce in the hubby.
but you are short. man i thought you where so much taller until i saw you at pet expo :p
Fck the test fish wth happened to the pond fish
please change the background
fo·li·age 😉
Speak to Stingrybiologie at Prepatory Fins.
They will now what is wrong with your 'baby'........
He’s lonely
The blue background and the algeas lookin horrible.
