*Starting to miss this fish room? Take a walk down memory lane with our favorite videos of this place: **ru-vid.com/group/PLNM4mDAXGxWwzYqH4kVY5ehH8Txq5v6R5*
@aquariumcoop it was such an emotional start to the video I have loved watching and supporting you it’s so sad you have had to moved coz of your neighbours so many grate videos in this building but I can wait to see what is to come in the new place your going to carry on been amazing and you should be so proud of your self and Dorcula what an amazing couple of people you are good luck watching from the uk 🇬🇧
Have you thought of daily feeding your orange rice fish straight from the brine shrimp tote? Would that be enough of a nutrition boost to get them to spawn? It'll be easier at the new location! Can't wait for those videos! Best of luck!!
Cory, your looking like a kid in his first fish store, "I want this fish.. no these fish". This is what makes me proud of you, because you have never lost that love of all fish and respect of nature. Your new house and property looks fantastic. This new blank canvas will give your creative mind many new concepts and creations. I see that you were eyeing that pond. I use Greenhouse Megastore for very large enclosed seedlings trays.
On a much smaller scale, I use my water change water to feed our flowers, seems so wasteful to pour it down a drain! Thanks Cory for being a great example of sustainability in the hobby
This is my go to channel for knowledge on aquariums and how to maintain them. I am just a beginner, Cory and his videos have helped me out tremendously.
Cory I just recently got back to keeping fish. When I was younger i kept quite a few fish but stopped the hobby when I went to college.. now that i’m older with a family of my own ( I have two awesome boys), i decided to go back to keeping fish.. i really love it and just want to say that watching your videos has really helped me a lot... I’m learning new things everytime a watch a new video.. thank you for sharing all these accumulated knowledge you have with all of us.. more power to you and all your fish and God bless you🙏👍👍👍
As a long time subscriber I didn't realize how many memories have been created over the years watching the fishroom/studio evolve. It's a bitter sweet goodbye. Thank you for sharing this journey with us Cory. Here's to a new chapter and all the excitement that comes with a new build. Look forward to the continued journey!
Cory you are my inspiration for everything in this hobby. I love how you do things right even if its harder. dont ever cut corners. keep up the good work
Your "nature knows best" ideology is so good. Literally dozens of tanks of proof that nature works. I read a ton online when i jumped into the hobby and i felt this channel has contributed to so much to my growth as a fish keeper. Im buying less meds, doing less changes, doing less additives, and feeding more while my parameters are doing so good with little intervention compared to a year ago.
I won´t say it was a conspiracy by the aquarium industry, because it wasn´t.. but all this "knowledge" about additives, water changes, filters and the mindset of running the tanks like an this does come from the "entry point" to the hobby and the convenience products and knowledge base created for that hobby over the years.. most people have to start at some point and some just want to have a little tank enjoying some fish and they are far from having the determination to dive deeper into the hobby.. so casuals tend to not get to the point of running their tanks as ecosystems as there is some learning curve to it, not that it is some unachieveable rocket science type of deal, but yeah you at least need to have an eye on it and some basic understanding.
I haven't checked in for ages and let me tell you... it was so refreshing to see the fish, hear your ideas and not have to listen to news about politics or Covid. I wish you all the best with the move. Can't wait to find out what happens next for you!
I just figured out like 2 month ago that I was not feeding enough, and most of my fish in the last 3 Years probably died due to starvation. I was so afraid to overfeed the Aquariums that I underfeed. Now the last 2 Month I stared feeding at least 4times as much as I was feeding before and the fish look so much more healthier. And again today learnd a lot from this video! thanks
I love seeing all your ponds and tanks that are complete ecosystems because that is my main goal on my tanks. Having that complete cycle down i think is far healthier and happier for your fish and plants. It also feels good to be able to look at my own tanks and see and know that because of the care and attention i put in, it has truly created a wonderful home for my fish and plants. This I strive for each and every day with my tanks because of your videos. Bravo Cory! Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher!
Ive been in a bad funk lately, and i realized i havent been watching enough fish content. Looking forward to see the next fish room. This video just brought me so much serotonin!
I feel for you Cory, moving is never fun especially with all the custom build projects you did. But the sneak peeks of the new house, WOW, looks like a dream. Natural ponds, well water, really big room and garage awesome. I wish you the best for a smooth move. Can't wait to see your next adventure in the new house.
I can't understand why you would even consider leaving your koi collection behind - those are your babies! Super stoked to see a tour of the new place.
I love your videos, very informative. I been in this hobby and have seen a lot since 1962, and by far the cleanest and well stocked. At the age of 74 I'v leaned a lot, thanks to owners like you who take the time to give the right info, thanks again.
Cory, that new place you are moving to will be superb! Yeah we will all miss the old store --- for a minute maybe, 'cause that new place will be so awesome!!
I can't wait to see the new set up!!! We just moved away from crazy neighbors this summer and the stress levels have dropped immensely. You'll be in a much better place both physically and mentally.
We got two of those little snails (pond snails) on a plant we got from aquarium co-op, and we let them multiply and we love them so much. They are so fun to watch!! My betta loves to flare at them. We have now moved them into all of our tanks. It is shocking how clean my tank looks and my plants look great! I didn't know they can move that fast as well. I even put several into the tank I'm cycling now to help. They are so tough but have not been a nuisance at all. I saw your other video where you said to stop feeding as much and it will help reduce the population if they get too much. Thank you!! Love all our plants and our snails!!
Being new to fish keeping, I have just found this channel recently and I love the way you explain things! Its not just do this because I say so, you explain the science and the reasoning behind it so that I really understand what I need to do and why I need to do it. So thank you! 😊
Fish food warning label “keep out of reach for kitties.”! Embarrassingly enough I have awoken to the sound of a pouch of fish food being decimated by my feline friend!!
I love how you focus on making thing sustainable. I am trying to that as I start up my first tank. Looking toward that idea of how can I reuse this and make it an ecosystem, not just a box of water.
I love how you call it an ecosystem. That is the approach I try to take with my tanks. I have been in the hobby for 10+ years and I am always learning new things. I have a 120 gallon custom system that I built 5 years ago, 20 gallons of that is the sump with media and such. I do a water change and big clean once a year and the fish are happy. Never have any issues. I am starting to experiment more with live plants. I have trumpet, ramshorn and pond snails. Love those little guys and they make the perfect tank mates for my shrimp. Great videos and I always find them helpful. Thanks ;-)
Another great video. I loved seeing each tank and containers. Love the ones that don't get water changes and take care of themselves. I love how you reuse the dirty fish water for your garden plants. I do that to my flower beds in the front of the house due to having 3 of my tanks in the living room near the front door. They do better than the flower beds around the side and back of the house that just get well water. I do use plant ferts on all the flower beds and potted plants of coarse. Congratulations on all the progress in your move. That's a huge job but I know it will be outstanding when you finish. Best wishes on all you do Cory. Great job as usual!!!
I'm so excited to see what's to come at your new location. Congratulations on all of the success you and your team have had, you've earned a lot of fans, for all the right reasons.
Great video! I don't do water changes on me tanks. They are packed with guppy grass, hornwort, and other live plants (many of which came from you). I love having the ecosystems. It gives me more time to enjoy watching my fish and less time "working" on my tanks. And with 15 tanks that's a great thing...lol
I love how cory just rubs the pink flamingos all up in my face hahaha come on cory please let me buy one online I would love to visit your shop if I lived there, but I live in texas. Anyways keep up the good videos I love them!! So excited for the new place
My mom was annoyed when I took over the guest room for my personal fish room a year ago. Now after sending her your videos and starting her a shrimp tank, she is bargaining with me to take over my 75 gallon and my 120! Thank you Cory for getting her off my back but also she is stealing my tanks hahaha
Watching this again for a second time. I've loved the videos with the big totes in your fish room. I also liked the part you talked about a previous video when you dumped the salt in a planted tank and people freaked out and that's exactly why I value your advice and information because it's based on what you know works, not just something you heard or read (like most "experts" on the internet these days). Wishing you all at the Co-op the best, and happiness and health for 2021.
Never, ever, ever, ever will I get upset about long grass.... I love that native red clover and the Dutch clover is great, too. Bees love it. My yard is so solid with bees in the clover that it looks like it is moving. You can get dizzy if you look at it long enough. If you have to cut it, leave it! Native plants dig into the soil and your ecosystem becomes more diverse. My neighbors mention it, but I just assume they love the variety, too.
Thanks for the details, I just lost over 25 koi and gold fish. They had disease in their fin, gills and tails. I order their meds on line which had delay I had to ran to pet co by that time I lost a great amount. It broke my heart because they were my fries from 2018 they were in doors while the rest are in the pond, so they became bigger than their parents. In NY so the winter is on the out doors ones. However I’m learning from you and Dexter how to more careful for my fishes. The out door fishes have new fries, I saw them while feeding and it makes my heart glad. Thanks again for your help.
I am a huge fan of using, stacking and enhancing natural systems. Seeing you do this in your personal set-up is just brilliant. And I agree, as people learn more over time, embracing natural systems is a natural progression. Well done, and thanks for sharing
I have found it key to keep all different types of snails in my planted tanks. The are very good at cleaning up plants and decor. They also turn up the soil for the plant roots to maintain their health.
I can hear the bitter sweet in your voice when talking about moving. I totally get that. You've got a lot of blood, sweat and tears invested in the established fush room.
literally same but omg its 2 am and i swore id sleep like 20 minutes ago but im too busy learning about how anubias flowers when its happy (yay!! mine has 3 right now) but if you want propagates, you SNIP EM (oh no!!) cus flowers take too much energy the "help me" vibes is palpable rn, yes. but corys info treasure trove...
wow! free stuff !!!! what a great video. lost track of you for a while, but glad to see you again, and see all the progress you have made. So fantastic. Love it.
My live-bearers love hard water. Been keeping them since I was a teenager and always wondered what I was doing wrong...finding out about water hardness was the game-changer!
was just watching some of your old videos and its amazing to see how much the channel has grown , really cool that your looking at fish keeping as keeping a little micro ecosystem for me that's one of the coolest things about fish keeping. ps i just realized that this video is a year old already
I started taking plant trimmings from my aquarium about 6 months ago, and put them in a sealed container to grow more out emersed. Now I have three containers full of emersed grown plant trimmings. The AR grow like gangbusters in my trimmings bins!
Only just found this channel and I have to say I love it!! I don't just something about fish that take you into a trance when you just sit back and watch and enjoy them. Awesome channel with alot of interesting info and amazing fish. Keep up the great work.
