so tonight's my last night here in Maryland ooh you guys will remember I'm
here for the big fish deal invention that I've spoken at for the past three
years now my talking great by the way
anyways I was just told there's actually a local fish store just a few minutes
from here so naturally I want to go and I'm gonna take you guys with me for the
ride Rico from Rico's reef tanks been here all weekend with me he's actually
gonna take us over there so the store is actually called congressional aquarium
it's located at 138 congressional Lane the manager of the stores actually here
at the big fish deal and he already gave us a go-ahead to check out the store in
a min filming and believe it or not both of our wives are coming made it well
this place is surprisingly large goes way back there I'm pretty excited lots
of dry goods look at this take a quick look at all these dry goods and
everything love a good selection of this stuff I mean
you know it's gonna be a pretty big tour I think all right oh yes
you know the pet store where the fish store is gonna be good when they have
plumbing supplies they take it pretty serious
check out this display when you first walk in here know some tangs in here I
think I've seen a massive eel yeah there it is there's a couple back there
so pretty sure this place is gonna be fresh and salt
you guys got over here Oh Turtles ninja turtles come if you like see it's doing
a little guy just in here koi oh wow on a big old catfish man there's
a redtail catfish I don't know if you guys gonna be able to see him there goes
his red tail definitely right though there's a big old what goes on this side
more koi love it see this is as simple as a you know it's
even an outdoor even indoor pond and B he's got some ties some and a pond liner
that's pretty much it no plumbing all the plumbing is done by just pumps
pumping the water out very simple take at some point he might have had turtles
or a waterfall yeah that would have been a waterfall if you could build a wooden
box you'd probably build that I think it's one of those deep dimension
aquariums all right lots of salt water take a look at a few that catch my eye
here so these clowns are designer clowns I believe they're Platinum's very nice
some irregular ones all right the store is kind of busy it's not going
to be a private tour so we'll have to look at what we can while we're here but
I already like this store I already like it are lark or not because educating my
wife over there on what's in the tax
so that is Soho now these guys get pretty big and really pretty
tougher

tank clearly some Oscars and some platinum flowerhorn more Oscars these
look like they could even be rescues gotta love when the kids get so excited
about Oscars they always they're always a pleaser for the younger crowd

scared I'll leave you alone I'm sorry
oh just more dry tanks Thanks
this place has so many rooms it's huge
escaping materials everywhere clearance tables I love this type of thing
clearance stuff I kill this whenever I see clearance items I always got a by
the way Riley's look oh well wonder if this is
antique metal frame 75 bucks oh it's a leaker easy fix
plus we got in here
because they become some piece African Tigers
more Oscars
so many tanks this is cool others water overflows right there it's probably a
pump underneath that pumps it all the way back up to the top and then it
overflows all the way down the guy is actually really cool it's acrylic
1/2 inch
interesting I took up a lot of acrylic but I wish I could build this it's
really cool okay another rack of Tanks I think most the tanks in here 10 gallons
so there's so many it's such a variety of fish here
other Oscar a lot of people say Joey why don't you
keep Oscars well it was about 12 years ago rainbows
no white maybe was about 12 years ago maybe 13 years ago I actually kept
Oscar's exclusively for about two years it was the only type of fish I had so
it's not that I'm against Oscars I've kept them in the past and I absolutely
have a passion and love for them they just take up a lot of space and I don't
know maybe we will do.a through some time in the future we won't be putting
them in the 2000 shouldn't even say that because maybe who knows I keep coming
back to this pond I've had this idea for a while where I'd like to fill something
like this for outside but make it maybe four feet tall instead and a lot longer
a wider and put it in my yard but I'd like to cut out the front cuz I have
some 1.6 inch thick acrylic leftover that I could use as a viewing campus I
know something to think about frozen outside right now though I won't
be doing that anytime soon I don't know pretty awesome store Rico what do you
think I think pretty big spot they got a huge variety of fish pretty much
everything you like Rico said if you're ever in the area definitely worth
checking out what do you think girls you like it they don't care
