you go oh I got to get fired up by the king what's up fish tank people
fishtanktv.com dustinsfishtanks we're getting to you and Rachel Larry behind
me on a Tuesday not really a do plodding experience but it's a top-five Tuesday I
got my man Joey the King idea why I actually had to stop holding his hand
for a second we were we're cuddling the whole time today like everybody was just
to do but I got the man pinned down here I'm excited to have him out of Canada
into Chicago and I want to ask him as simple as top five Tuesday bro man let's
make it easy on a rope top five fish number five fish what's your number 5/5
okay so there was a point in time where I got my first monster fish was Oscars
and there was a point in time in my hobby when I when I actually kept them
exclusively I had no other fish but all but one Oscar it was my pet Oscar and
that's kind of how I got into big fish and viewing them as pets as opposed to
just a hobby I started viewing it like as a pet like
you would a dog so Oscars are in my top five yeah sure what was the name of the
author and having a need for I don't need the fish no I'm not right you had
to do thing with the one for the try and you're number four fish number four fish
okay so we're going backwards in time yeah I got to go - I know what you
number one I've got easy everybody knows that
war room war room hammock and boyd's specifically and that's how you
pronounce their scientific name is where their last name would typically don't do
it very well because I copy if you guys don't know
what waru is then you never heard of my channel wall room Joey was my original
channel name it's about you a are you Jo me white and they're a South American
fish a cichlid and they don't get very colorful typically being Brown Gray's
blacks but one of their unique characteristics about those give you one
little curriculum to cool thing about comes what's your name dude yeah well at
one point in time I was only keeping them as well well wall ruined some sad
bro things like that but when I was creating my youtube channel I couldn't
figure out a name for it and I looked over at my tank and I seen my water
there I thought wall room Joey and it was available so I took it and it was
that it was the only login that I could remember the wrasse word too so I kept
going with it but the thing about wharoo and this is really interesting for you
guys to know you definitely got to try this fish out it's more of a herbivore
in a plant eater but that's not the interesting thing there's only three
fish in the world that feed their fish off of their their skin their mucus
right and like for example discus you've seen Disney all those because yes waru
do it too and they're actually called I'm not sure if they're called this
anymore but at one point these be called the poor man's discus because they have
so much in common with discus yet they cost a lot less than there were several
well it exceptions probably from Florida I got you suburbs look nothing like this
because they don't share any traits they don't have the same diet requirements
they're from the same areas but in the world you're going to find probably you
find some soft oil yeah but you'll find war ruined discus together all the time
and I just want to make know back in the day before United which otherwise I saw
this channel with this god-awful logo of a wall oh yeah this look this cat's got
a ton of subscribers like what's he doing so I just remember that I got it
was never good at I was never good at logo design but I'm still not but what
I'm good at is is for through pouring my passion into the end of the video I just
thought it was funny because I remember as low as old school logo nothing about
I was like he's got a shits on the subscriber so whatever so alright so
that's your that's your number four what's your number three fish that's
getting easy you guys should know all these number three number three is
discus discus have I didn't realize just because we're one of my favorite fish
till it one day I realized that I've kept discus longer than I've kept any
other fish roe yeah for the longest for a continuous period like some people
keep a fish for a couple years and then stop keeping them for seven years then
keep them for a year and say I can keep discus for ten years or something like
that but as the longest continuous time I think is like eight nine ten years
something like that maybe a little less maybe a little more I never really got
it but I could drill as at one point discus where my were like my go-to fish
that I've always kept for a very long time in my opinion long
and they're definitely in my top three if they should probably be a little bit
higher but might talk to or even better than business my friend
oh and by the way the discus is not the king of the king of the aquarium I'm
sorry for all your discus lovers out there but something so dainty and pretty
cannot be a king otherwise I'm changing my name haha good
for the record I've never kept this because I think they're dainty and like
I just I mean I like them I think they're hot I think they're hot looking
fish like a lot of the brighter ones some of them s all fat but like they're
so sensitive and skittish and you know much like I'm not like it's like I want
to fish it look out I think disc is largely overrated in terms of their
difficulty nowadays discus have been domesticated and tank-raised for so long
that they're no difficult than any other cichlid for the most part as long as you
had the basics down pat which is understanding the nitrogen cycle having
a properly filtered tank and doing those water changes that's it that's all they
want and good diet of course but they're not as difficult as if it's like they're
not the king they're not the king of the aquarium and I know I'm friends with so
many discus people I'm not going to say names but I'm sorry but I do not believe
that the king of the aquarium only because I'm the king of DIY and if
they're comparison in name then that means I'm dainty and pretty and he's
losing sleep over as you speak oh and then all right so everybody I mean come
on you guys who enjoys being Joey what is your number two favorite fish you
know I look at number one only because if I were to say my number one favorite
fish it means I can only keep one so these fish would be my number one if I
could keep two and those are my second favorite fish are freshwater stingrays
they are like little the puppy dogs of water little water dogs if you will
absolutely intriguing they'll always get a WoW you always constantly learn and
they they expose you to a different aspect of the Hobby I feel like I feel
like Rea keeping is is on a whole other level than your typical typical macho
hobby fish thank you we tried to knock into my camera all right right and
what's your favorite race type species are rated I'm definitely gonna have to
be flat raised with white dots and there's a few different species of razor
that looked like that I would say that my fav I have a favorite preference of
their look I like the look of a Henley which is it can typically be more of a
grey base with white dots but I like that they have big white dots and not a
bunch of tiny ones and white ones although those are really nice but in
order to get the black you have to go to leopold i but you don't get the same
spotting and cover so then after you get the leopold I have to go to black
diamond and when you go to black diamonds you jump up in price like
doubling yeah yeah so on immortalise I mean a good pair of black diamond
stingrays at least 2500 Oh and again back to the logo
black-and-white second-favorite yes yeah and as if you all don't know joy what is
your number one but you have to pick just one I just pick one
yes big one I'd like to say this is my favorite type of my favorite species of
fish largely because most of my audience is from the United States as with yours
beat and you guys can't have this fish but I can because I'm from Canada which
is the Asian Arowana absolute of my absolute favourite freshwater fish for a
number of reasons and some of the top reasons is based on their looks are very
majestic fish very relaxing to watch but I also enjoy the Asian culture
surrounding them in the blue surrounding them they bring wealth good luck good
fortune and prosperity that sort of thing and an interesting fact is my
channel got really big when I started keeping Asian Arowana
and that could be just a coincidence but it's it's pretty good coincidence that
is quite funny actually and they have now this is one of the things that you
tell me on this tube is that your fish is it true I read that they bring wealth
and prosperity whatever but it's also in their culture and part of the problem is
that it's not it's not bad luck to have to kill them is that if you if you heard
that about the culture for goodness I'm curious your thoughts on that because I
thought it was like it was really cool to happen but if it died it wasn't that
big of a deal like it wasn't like the downside wasn't the same as the upside I
mean I think that it would based on the locale and what their what their
individual beliefs are but there are core beliefs they believe that it's the
reincarnation of the actual dragon just based on its scales and it's its
barbells and a lot of its physical characteristics but no nonsubscribers in
canoes per month as well yes that's exactly
uh whether they die or not never actually heard of that I dunno I just
for the most part is it's basically due to their good luck good luck Fung Shui
Fung so you can look it up guys you definitely after you don't watching this
video to check out the bunks way of the Asian Arowana it's really interesting to
read about their beliefs and that's or they may be deaf definitely tempted to
keep one and an alternative a good alternative would be something like a
Jardin II they do look similar they cost a lot less you can get a silver Arowana
but they get a lot bigger but there are alternatives out there fortunately you
guys can't keep the Asian Arowana but if you ever do get the opportunity and can
provide for them properly definitely keep them there one of the most
rewarding fish you can happen yeah and I didn't show by the way so sorry it's so
hot everybody top five fish with Joey ball and said hang on
see you let's see you next week what's the hey will you want me to go whistle
oh alright well how do I do that I got to get in my mode I'm just in his
