I need it I
Need you it's beautiful
I'm taking you guys miss shopping with me today because I think I'm gonna start working on the Asian
aquarium over the next few weeks, or a few days really but
I'm in the mood to go shopping for some fish luckily
I've got a hundred gallon aquarium sitting here empty that I'm gonna be able to use this quarantine system
So if I do find anything and the tanks are not ready, I'll be able to house them anyways and hold them temporarily
And of course we're coming back to one fish two fish here in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
Hmm
More on that in a minute, I don't know if I'll actually buy anything while here, but you guys know me
I simply like to shop around
Look at what's available
And you know I've truly feel at home and in a fish store like this and just a round fish in general
Really so after a quick look around the store. There's nothing that I need
Right now or nothing that's gonna suit what I need right now
probably got to put an order in but there are a few things that have caught in my eye where I've caught my eye and
a few things that stood out that I don't need but I kind of want
But I don't know let me show you a few things
This is the same type of Asian Arowana that I have I've been watching him for a while
Nobody's bought him and you know it's kind of making me want him even more
You know take him home type of thing, but yeah, it is an ultimate blood
Asian, Arowana, I'm rarely on grade
Beautiful stunning fish. It's a little bit bigger than mine if I got hit mine my two would fight
Probably so if I got him I'd probably have to get this one now the lights in here are a little blue
but this is a
panda cross-back supreme so basically like a
really nice
fish that's gonna turn a little blue and
You know really gold especially across its back now
I had a panda gold before it was one of my first Asian, Arowana
And they grow to be absolutely stunning one of the things that I find they're really well known for is
You know perfect body shape and of course I know for many of you. It's really easy to say Joe
We just get another one get another one well that one's about $2,000 and the red is about
$3,000 so we're talking five thousand dollars for two fish tough pill to swallow but
I'll try to baby something big these little coy angels also caught my eye
Really pretty love their patterns
but you know I already got a bunch of Platinum's with that said I'm kind of liking this little black one here the black and
white
Really cute. I of course the the the coy portion comes out in you know having three colors usually
But I don't know I really like these black and white ones that I think they would contrast and really stand out with the Platinum's
That I already have but these guys are much smaller than the ones I have but you know. I'm thinking about it
and of course
By me thinking by me thinking about it means I'm probably going to buy a lot of stuff by impulse
I'm gonna try to hold back
Because I do have some specific plans one of them is to get some coal draw me for that Asian tank leave it or not
where are they you're such a
Beginner type fish and in fact was one of the first community fish I ever had
But in my opinion is one of the most underrated fish absolutely stunning makes a fantastic community fish now
I don't know what you guys think should I go with you know just do a
Gourami tank all the different species they technically are from you know different parts of Asia
Or should I go with something different?
You know maybe I should wait to see what you guys say in the comments section below these rants borås
These are the SBS they do look
Pretty amazing let me see if we can get actually get in there and see them
yeah, they're a little panicked right now, but
They look just like the Harlequin grass bora one of the massive difference
That's also a fish that I was considering putting in there as well
Yoji, it's actually a bunch of you know almost beginner style community. Type fish that are all from Asia
Why why wouldn't I get something more exotic?
I truly want you guys to be able to do this and maybe grab some
Inspiration from it with that said I always get some amazing comments and suggestions from you guys as well
So make sure you leave me some in the comment section below because then I certainly appreciate it little silver, Arowana up in here
They're always cute at this size those guys get to 4 feet long though
They're the cheap is there I wanna you can buy but beginning to you know 4 feet long is a massive fish
And I don't think a lot of people are really
Prepared for that then this is another one look at this. This is a tinfoil barb
So next time you go
And buy these guys realize how big they get now if you had 5 or 6 of these at this size
I definitely picked them up a little baby Oscar. This is like a long fin
really cute oh
He's got some peacock bass in here
Get three four of them. I wonder. It's got some good-sized piranhas in here these are nice
As some bikers in here these will be the Senegal's these guys stay relatively
Smaller compared to a lot of the other bikers, so if you're looking to get one. This is probably one of your better choices
nice big parrot
big jack dempsey always attractive to the bigger fish
Africans up here
He's gonna look at the floor look at the size of these guys. These are red Billy saying in the size alone
Yeah my mouth
Yeah, saying if he's trying to get me to buy them some clown loaches to
Nice size nice and active nice dark coloration these guys will look a lot better on a lighter substrate though
clown knife
This black ghost
Another one over here oh and another one over there
Maybe I should start buying all these baby monsters and grow them out for the 2020 guys thing a little sidebar. I'm
I'm buying all kinds of fish that I don't need and probably not gonna have room for I
think I'm going to start needing somebody to come with me to the pet stores and
Slap my hands when I say I want Beckett
So corridor then here over here
For those that have been following me for a while now you remember that I did a store tour of this exact store
I think it was a couple of years ago
And you'll remember this exact point of view you'll also remember the guy that I did that tour with that was actually a store employee
By the name of Matthew Hume now. He's he's actually owned his own pet stores in the past
He's been a staple in the local coffee for many years working at almost every pet store there was in Nova Scotia
So he's very well known
Unfortunately over the past few months and even a few years. I believe it was his
his wife was diagnosed with cancer, and it wasn't too long ago that she passed away and
Left Matt and his three young children
Behind now Jeff the store owner of this store has started up a GoFundMe to try to help raise money for him
Because you know it's gonna be hard for him especially with young children
but he also wanted to do something else a little more personalized for his good for his customers, so
he is
Doing a raffle here at the pet store third place is a two hundred dollar gift card to the store second place
300 all our gift card to the store
Tickets are only $10 each the grand prize being a tour of my aquarium gallery
I'm gonna leave all the details in the description below
Just so I don't mess anything up
But the way it will work is whoever gets the grand prize will be picked up at this store
You're not being flown in we're not going to get you
This is probably gonna be best for local people within the surrounding provinces
however, if you want to fly in and meet at the store feel free to do so
But you'll be picked up at this store
We'll take you to my house where I'll give you a tour of the gallery in person you'll be the first
person to ever do that and processive quite possibly the last
Then we're gonna go for dinner
And it's just gonna be like a one-on-one type of thing you meet Jeff and you can bring one so it'll be you plus another
And I thought that was one of the most meaningful things that I could do to help the to help Matt
Oh, and his family. Oh and 100% of the proceeds are going to Matt and his children
I'm not being paid for this in any sort of way
I just thought that this was going to be something that we can all do to help Matt out in this difficult time
Now to purchase your tickets you can come right into the store and buy them right here, or you can call the store
And with a credit card or whatever and do it that way I'm gonna leave all the details all the information in the description below
Even if you don't plan on you know winning anything, or you can't do anything, please support it
I think it's a great cause and again 100% of the proceeds
Goes to Matt and his family of young children when I come to the pet store
We usually need a pause I buy so much fish that I don't need
I'm actually not buying any of the fish that I came here for there's not enough of what I want or what I'm looking for
But me coming to a pet store is always
Dangerous I need everything okay confession time you guys remember the bonsai trees that I seen here a little while ago
This is what inspired me to do my little nano tank with the bonsais
Confession is this well first and foremost. They only have one left here as soon as I put that video out
They sold out of whom almost right away
Which is always good?
I love I love to see that sort of thing with that said I'm upset so many of you
So what happened was you remember that I set that little nano tank up on my like little work table
I drained it and moved it because I needed to move a lot of things around. I meant to fill it back up
Grint the hide for this one I forgot to fill it back up and the entire tank dried out luckily there wasn't any fish in
It but all the plants are destroyed. Just try it up into like this potpourri. Type of mix or just all crusty I
had to admit it at some point and for those that watch my videos all the way through at least you guys will know and
You can spread the word, so I don't have to talk about it anymore
That's so embarrassing to talk about but I guess moving forward. I think I'm gonna need a bit of a
I
Need an assistant. I need it I
Need you it's beautiful. Do you want to come home with me? Maybe we should bring Frank to the store to take you home? Oh?
man
this guy's so nice I
Need you
I can't put you in with Frank Frank will kill you, but technically you are way nicer than Frank
Poor Frank feel so bad for him and and and he'd kill me if he knew I was looking at other flower horns
Or you know even considering getting another one, but I mean that little guy is pretty stunning
Let's hold a bet who think I've who thinks I'm gonna buy it here. We got a female flower horn
She actually laid eggs in this tank which is interesting. She's got a little bit of a new clump, or cock as they call them
Interesting maybe maybe uh
Maybe Frank's girlfriend Frank's girlfriend
She's not pretty enough for Frank though poor girl spent so much time bagging my fish. I'm trying to go get a haircut once again
Coming for one thing and I leave with a box of fish that
I wasn't here for but how could I know it?
I'm gonna get all of these guys home acclimate them to
Their temporary holding tanks and in the near future
I'll show you what I got, but I want to make sure these guys are all doing okay. I want to get them home and
So in the near future if you're interested in seeing what I got you know
Make sure you do so you don't miss it
