My stingray and arowana aquarium 

Buddy will always be my favorite fish on your channel. RIP Buddy.

I am so happy you're making videos for yourself again and not trying to please everyone. Can't wait for the public gallery.

It's been 4 years it still feels like yesterday

The passion this man has for the hobby is infectious.

Joey: Breeds a newly discovered stingray also Joey: Nah, just give me the black ones

Susan: The Return. Would love to see Susan return for the gallery, but it's just a fever dream.

As someone who has followed you for years upon years and who now finds herself in Nova Scotia, I am incredibly excited for the new gallery !! Looking forward to coming to visit in the future :)

A couple of weeks ago, Joey announces the new gallery. Today he jokes about attraction to stingrays. Next week? He launches Onlyfins

I love that you're growing enough to have a place to display your fish to the public, you'll be basically a public aquarium and I can't wait to visit!

Loving the more regular videos! Excited to see whats to come :)

I miss Frank and his loop to loop swimming while being photographed. He had more chins than the number of Chins in a Chinese phonebook. He had personality plus.

What I really want to see Joey is you having fun and taking us along. The excitement you're showing is immeasurable.

It’s good to see Joey so excited and passionate again about the hobby I can’t wait for the upcoming videos 😊

Dude I remember the first time I saw your videos like 7 years ago(a DIY filter video), and it's amazing what you have achieved in your own gallery and in the fish community. I'm excited to see what's coming up!

Daaaamn Joey! Seeing this video makes something clear to me: I am here since a looooong time! Love your passion for the hobby! Keep on the great work!

I just love how you got your excitement back for making videos. I noticed a while ago that your enthusiasm was diminishing and was wondering why. Glad to see you found a solution all by yourself!

Australia here. Love your channel, many years watching. Been good fun. Best of luck with the big move, will be stressful, but highly rewarding to have interactions with people everyday, you will teach people a lot. A keen hobbyist will be the big winner. Oscar feed next vid! 😂🌊🌊

So glad to see you are doing what makes you happy and not what pleases the crowd. Good luck, handsome!

I hope you’d get a goldfish tank again. Your last one was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen

I think the arrowana finally deserves a name! He has a huge personality

The King of DIY keeps getting better!

The stingrays look so beautiful!

Crazy to think youve been on youtube for so long. Ive watched you since the very beginning. I still remember your first fish youve had on here and how devastated you were when your sting rays had the unfortunate accident and arowana jumped out. Even the gar when tou had that. And not gonna lie, i loved your building vids. Your creativity showed alot then. Still dont know how your scrawny tail was able to lift some of those builds. Either way, im glad you you kept with it. I love your vids and always will. One day i will get to come to your new gallery and finally meet ya. You've inspired me to do much, and taught me so much with the aquarium hobby. So id like to say thank you for doing what you do. We all appreciate what you do. And if some dont, they can stop watching. They dont know what youve all gone through, all the floods you had to clean up, and all the joy as saddness youve gone through all these years. Im just glad you can keep on going and grow in this hobby. (Still think you should open a small store tho and breed. Think that would be amazing to watch and get some of your babies that we can grow along with you)

I've been watching the channel since we'll before the gallery. It's been amazing coming along for the ride. Can't wait to see the new gallery. You are the sole reason I stayed in the Hoby and inspired my next journey with African Cichlids

Joey straight up is funny af and he’s been holding it in until the last year 😂

Crazy how time flies I’ve been watching for years and years

Awesome Joey man! Keep the FishFacts going! Love that!

Waiting to see the incredible plans come to fruition. Met you at BFD a few years ago, told my wife I want to take a trip to Canada just to see the gallery. You're an inspiration and I live vicariously through you with these massive tanks

That arawana is beautiful. I love the color.

This a where it all started for me, I'm in awe of where you have come. To this day I love staying up into the wee hours of the morning and bingeing all the old episodes I can. Take care brother.

Don’t burn yourself out with videos, keep yourself happy because your videos are better when you enjoy making them

I love how excited you are!!!

I am certain this huge change is for the best. Joey is a very considered guy who is absolutely committed to the hobby and probably responsible for 1000s either improving the level of care they provide or expanding their addiction to aquariums. Top work and Top guy.

this was a nice recap I sorta miss the days when it was all about the rays and arowana made me feel a little nostalgic

Glad to see you doing what you want to do and not just what RU-vid wants. You already seem happier 👍🏼 once the new gallery is up and running the wife and I might have to make a 1000 mile journey to come see it but I’m sure it will be worth it.

This video was so funny you can see how excited Joey is

when you aggressively said “god damnit he’s beautiful” i think everyone who has a fish that they really love felt that emotion

Omg so excited joey, loving this new venture of yours and truly grateful for inviting us along with your regular updates. I have something to save up for now here in the UK, to come see your public gallery. 💜💜💜

How time flies. I just started high school when I started watching your channel.

I would like to see build the filtration and setup the tanks. Love the positive energy you have and the passion you have for the hobby. You and a couple other RU-vid were the reason I brought fish in the first place. 🤟🏾

You inspired me to start my fish room,now I'm breeding kribenisis,the pair is on their second batch of fry,love kribs so beautiful and better parents then most humans lol,and I have my dream fish for the most part,minus rays,I have a Raphael catfish,and a beautiful royal dull eye pleco, and more in my fish room,thank you joey!

the content continues to get better as you find your groove again, super stoked for the new facility!

I may be salt water focused but your videos helped me learn so much and actually take the plunge into the hobby! Now my tank is 2 years old and doing great! Thank you for the constant inspiration and information.

I love seeing your arowana

Joe you’re such an inspiration and yes I miss Buddy too and even the gold fish from back in the day😇

I hope you bring back your goldfish tank. That looked amazing. 😂

So excited to see your public gallery come together! You're a huge inspiration, you and Tanner literally helped jump start my career in animal care. Really excited to see this project come together and maybe one day come see it!

So excited about more videos!! Thank you Joey 😁

Idk why but I think it's so funny when the rays just like climb on top of each other

Rip buddy, I stumbled across your channel as that was happening and been here ever since. I was really inspired to dive deeper into the aquarium hobby. Keep it up! Can’t wait to come visit someday.

Catching this 7 min after it’s released, thank you IG 🙏🏼

Love your videos, your humour and your and Frank’s personality 👍👍😊

Love the recap and the vibe in this one! 👑

I am so glad to finally see you happy and enjoying what you do again. Keep it real and just Joey doing what you enjoy most and it will be great. Sure some people want you guys on RU-vid to do what they like but what made me subscribe and start watching your videos was your passion and joy in your fish buddies. It expanded my interest in them that I already had and made me start thinking about having some tanks of my own after watching you and some of the other fish RU-vidrs. I am glad you are going to start a bigger place so you can keep your fish from now on too.... I was almost as sad as you seemed when a regular was being rehomed to make room for a new fish, I was so sad for you because I could see how much you care for your fish...they all have such personalities that are varied and some just downright entertaining...lol. Anyway I am happy to see you doing it your way again and hope you get to enjoy your aquariums and find your beautiful happiness and love of your hobby again. Best of luck I am pulling for you and behind you all the way Joey take care, Rhonda

Man Joey's passion is really infectious, and the reason why the Asian arowana is my favourite fish. Can't wait to see what this new bigger gallery will be like, and hopefully someday I could visit in person.

Can’t wait to see more!

After vehemently disagreeing with joey for years over bare bottom tanks I finally made the change and I love it ,the tank looks and is cleaner ,the fish look better as the background is black it makes the base quite dark anyway like a blacked out tank …I look back at my old sand filled tanks now and they lack that HI def clarity my tank has now …the wood dosent look as natural against a bare bottom but it’s a worthy trade off

So excited for the new gallery! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences c:

I really enjoyed this video joey. 4 years has gone fast mate, I been watching since the days of buddy. And you have been my favourite RU-vidr since. I can not wait to see what is coming.

Don't make a schedule. Just make and upload video's when you want!

really love the videos right now!

I really enjoyed the back story of how you got started with stingrays. I always enjoy your videos.

I Learned to build my own stands thanks to your channel and I’m glad you have these videos on your channel but I enjoy the fish vids more, just love watching your journey. 👍👍

Joey liking almost everyone’s comment. Gotta love it.

great end to my day, a joey video

You seem happier than ever, loving the channel more and more

The rays are GORGEOUS

Can see how passionate this topic is to you. It's great to see you getting back to what you enjoy. Great last few videos, have really been informative

Gorgeous arowana

I remember it all! Glad you are doing so well.

Great vid. Looking forward to the future!

Just follow your heart Joey, you being happy makes us want to watch your channel.

You are so awesome, I love your energy

The last words hit different! Love your content

Commenting to show some support for your new gallery!

Please do more saltwater tanks! I only have saltwater now, but still love watching your channel.

Piranhas are awesome, rays are awesome, the history is awesome.. Just a awesome video man👍

Going to be awesome summer in youtube land :D You and this other canadian dude building things, I'm so happy right now!!

Have been watching for the last 4 to 5 years approx and love the progression.. looking forward to the next chapter.. keep it up

How have I never noticed the Bichir before!?! So cool!

I soooooo cannot wait for the new gallery project. I can wait to see your ideas and advice. Could you have a big enough one for people to swim/tank walk with fish if you had the space.

I love the excitement, Joey. I can tell the new gallery is going to be great.

Awesome video thanks for sharing.

The fish will finally be pets,in natural looking tanks. Big things are coming

I was watching about 6 months before frank left I miss Frank wish the best joey love the vids and thank you for being you

This video was bordering spicy and I frikin love it!! also! Stingrays are my favorite and definitely a lifetime goal! Thank you so much for sharing!

Dude it's great to see u happy

So excited to see what’s to come!

You should have a DIY room, dedicated to things you make yourself

Ein 26 Minuten Video. Super Danke aus Germany.

Best footage (imo) of your Ray's I've seen yet Joey, they really were interacting at the glass for you. I'm smitten now.👍🏻 Love your work Bro, be well.

I went back and watched some of your old videos and I think I'm going to try a bridge my 2 50 gallon breeder tanks I like the rack system you had but after seeing the problem of how you had limited space to clean and put the things you wanted into the tanks im glad you talked about it so I am going to go a different way for some of the tanks I have cause I learned from your mistake and I did like the look of them and will order a couple but I will use them for my frogs cause they all open from the front so the space in-between won't be a problem thanks for all the information you gave and as long as you make videos I will be subscribed and watching good luck on your journey through life and be safe

I started following you 8 years ago when you built the large 540 gallon aquarium in November 2012.

Oh man!! Super pumped to see what comes next!! As soon as we are able I plan on making a trip to the East coast!

Brother id watch you building tanks all day every day.

Love the channel and youre plans

Take your time setting up the tanks joey, dont rush them just to have the new gallery full quicker! Go for the forever home tanks! Have been watching since just before the gallery was build!

The bichir power to stop Joey's brain from thinking with just one appearance XD

I'm pretty hyped for this new gallery, ngl! Maybe you should use different types of filtration for your new tanks and also display them so that people can see how they work and inspire them to make things for themselves. Include some quick write ups about the fundamentals of it and maybe create a website for people/visitors to reference with more indepth guides. Just thinking as you said you want the place to inspire people, the fundamentals would surely be the same the only difference would be scale. Keep it up Joey, loving your content as of late!

I so want to come up there and see the new gallery and meet you. Your the best!
