Did you miss the dog in the tiny cage under the counter and the kittens in the teeny tiny cage with no litter box and a wire bottom? The way Chinese treat animals makes me sick.
Painting a turtle’s shell will inhibit it’s ability to absorb essential vitamins from basking, as well as cause respiratory problems. One should never do it.
Jack You I feel the same way. I love Coreys store and the high moral ground of only selling products he enjoys. But this, this is absolutely disgusting. This isn’t amazing or beautiful. The fish are overstocked. Reality is, we don’t actually KNOW how long those fish will be there until someone comes around to purchase one. Not only that BUT a lot of people who buy fish don’t always know how to properly care for one. So the owner of this horrendous company is basically implementing that these living conditions are ok. I hate seeing Cory post these videos on RU-vid. it’s just so gross.
Maybelater I really like cory and what he does for the hobby as well. And trust me he is not the only one guilty of this. Its more annoying than anything.
@@Jay-nl1fw And the dog under the counter, paint on turtles and the kittens in a cage too small for a rodent. I hate seeing videos of pet shops in China. It's is so horrible and it makes me made that he promotes it.
Yeah, the idea is that the fish will only spend a short period of time there. Though with that much overstocking some of the fish could be stuck there until they die of stress.
@@Taotao515 Sad but true, I have only been in Shanghai for 3 years and in that time I know of a few that I used to go to that this happened to unfortunately.
I had to evict nymphaea from my community tank. This plant needs to be watched closely because when it's happy, its leaves grow big and cover the entire water surface very quickly. Other plants get no light at all. Then each leaf starts to form a baby lily and die off, polluting the water. I transplanted the whole thing into my goldfish tank (no fertilizer) and it seems a better match there.
People who have followed Cory for a long time should know that he doesn't approve of everything at these markets. He's filming it and giving us simple commentary for more of a tour. Do you think if he went into rants at the market they would want him filming? Or do you even know the amount of time it would take to address everything?
@@xiaoranzhao923 This is the fish market near Xincun lu line 7, and the very end is some footage from the fish market at Laoximen. The one on Xincun lu is the best one I've been able to find in Shanghai. I also live here you might have heard me speaking in the video a bit lol.
@@codyshowalter583 Thank you. This does ring a bell. I believe my dad took me to every single fish/flower/pet market in Shanghai when I was little. I'll have to visit again next time I'm in town.
@@xiaoranzhao923 No problem, I have been to every single one I could find here in the 3 years I've lived in Shanghai and unfortunately some of those have been closed down as they were in prime locations for more lucrative real estate opportunities, pricing out these small shop owners. Probably so many more of them to visit when you were young.
@@codyshowalter583 Yes, they started to disappear even ten years ago. My favourite one was Wanshang, I remembered it was getting smaller and smaller...I wonder if it is still there now :(
That"s a lot of goldfish. I absolutely love them but don't have a big enough tank. Who knows maybe I will one day. Love your channel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I love your China videos! It's amazing what they have. I discovered long-fin oscars the other day at my LFS. Is this a new "man-made" fish? Have you see or heard about them?
Corey, every time you show Chinese guppies they're larger than the puny North American offerings. They seem similar in size to mollies and swordtails. Is it my imagination, or are they actually a larger size?
Agreed, although it is hard to tell in video, especially as I'm watching on my phone. In those shots of the guppies there was also a tank of swordtails that also seemed huge.
In general USA wants the cheapest guppies. Those don't come from China, they come from Sri Lanka. The profits made by the importers is what gets us small fish comparatively.
Aquarium Co-Op Thanks. I’m definitely not one of those cheap fish keepers. I’d prefer more robust and thicker livebearers (like Greg Sage’s)Too bad for quality before quantity consumers like me☹️. Anyway, there’s always the inter webs.
@@AquariumCoop I think it's a shame (and bad business) that so many LFS don't support local breeders. They all want to buy 100 fish for $25 and don't care about the quality or how long they will live. Perhaps educating the consumers (and potential consumers) on buying quality fish and being prepared to pay for them is the way to go. People need to be aware that it's far better for everyone to pay $30 for great quality guppies and appreciate them rather than buying sick, cheap, badly bred guppies for a buck or 2 each. Same goes for any fish tbh. I read an article not long ago that fish are too cheap and the pros of raising quality along with prices across the board.
There was some very nice stores in this video and also alot of very poor ones those turtles where in shocking conditions and the frogs. I realise you might not want your channel to be the place to discuss this, but by not doing so makes it look like you're condoning it.
I love your channel so much from malta i like to watch your unboxing because it makes me curious what fits are there keep up the good work #respectforyou
Yes bandit cichlids Acarichthys geayi @aquariumcoop Corey what is your opinion on the goldfish density of the gold fish tanks? Were you able to ask some of the store how often they do water changes and how much volume Other videos from there you have shown how they have have lots of bio media in sumps
Oh man... this is like a dream come true.. I’m only talking about the amounts of stuff available and how cheap it is, not the condition of the animals, that’s just horrible but wow.. Man I wish we had places like this here and that price..
The chinese don't do things by half anyway, the qualitybof those fish was second to none and the sheer amount was pretty impressive, thanks for this wee video guys, minted 🏴
Some people are offended that there is too many fishes in a tank but I think secretly everyone is like wow that just looks so beautiful. I don't pretend anything else. Nature takes care if there are too many animals in one space and us humans need not to worry about that.
Never knew there were so many types of goldfish. So how many did Cory take home, and get for the store? I have a suggestion for the next series of uploads. Maybe Cory could do his top picks for ponds, or do top 5 bottom/mid tank/and top feeders for community tanks? Just an idea. 😁
This is sick and awful. A dog in a cage built in under the counter? Kittens in a wire bottom cage barely larger than they are and no litter box. HOW can you promote this sick horribly awful place?
Gorgeous fish, and most of those tanks look very clean! Even the reefs look to be in good shape. Some of these comments are amazing, as if people don't realize the fish that come to the U.S. are likely also held temporarily in too-crowded conditions before they make it to your LFS? Sheesh.
Hey Cory, That plant that you liked was just a water lily. You can cut water Lilly leaves free and Float them. They will often sprout new plants. I doubt they will bloom without their roots in the soil though. Cheers, Chris
Corey, I watch your videos thru PS3 and don't have the benefit of being able to read the info that comes with the video. Would you guys consider doing a Google World zoom into the location at which you are visiting?
@@AquariumCoop When you watch RU-vid on a "SmartTV" or through PS3, all you get is a thumbnail and a portion of a title. You do not get any text under the video as you do with the computer or even the Smartphone (which requires slight navigation to get to). Corey's travel videos generally don't have a location title embedded in the actual video. For example this one has no info in the actual video other than someone mentioning that they were in Shanghai. I travel to these areas so it would would be fun to see the exact location. What better way to do this than to use the Google Earth Zoom feature.
#1 I've been cycling my tank I have live plants in a 30 gallon tank I put a handful of fish food for ammonia and I've been dosing seachem stability for bacteria. I tested the ammonia levels today and they came out zero and the nitrite levels came out zero but the nitrate levels came out to over 180 rpm. When I first but I'm the food my ammonia was at 8 ppm and this sounds all perfect to me but my concern is that it has only been two weeks. Most people say this takes a month howd I achieve this in two weeks. Is my tank ready?
