UNPACKING our African fish delivery with RARE pufferfish, tetras, cichlids and more 

For a second I thought my speakers were broken. Thanks for the heartattack 🤣

Love the blue eye Congos mate👌

Feel free to tape any of your unboxings lol love watching these!

Another great one my friend... Your content always makes me smile... Cheers from San Antonio Texas where it's the temperature of the Sun right now... 🍻🥵

ty for showing us around

Why don't I have LFS like this near me 😔 the fish look so healthy and colourful. The exact same specifies in my LFS look like a different breed as they are so pale in comparison! Hats off to every worker at this store 👏👏👏

always enjoy your videos!

I've had P. aurantiacus for around a year now, and they are great species. The males get an electric green stripe along the belly and the showy fins like the normal Congos. The females are also stunning with vibrant yellow color and the blue eyes. My favorite tetra by far. Thanks for showing us the unboxing!

You are truly a great fish expert! I learn a lot from you. Gina

awesome video, thanks

Wow those blue eyed congos are STUNNING

Looking forward to seeing what replaces that huge African tank. Loved the video with md that it was made in

Your videos should have three times the views. You are awesome 👏

You should do a maidenhead store tour.....plase start at notts cuts nottingham 🤣🤣

So exciting to get new fish! I'm sure once you have them settled and their colors start showing, it will be quite a treat 🥰 keep doin what ya do Matt!

The intro 🤣

Years ago I use to work part time in a local aquarium store I look forward to fish delivery day. Opening up the shipment to see what you got was like Christmas morning always a surprise to see each bag. So I understand your excitement on opening day. It was a harder work day but seeing what you got made it worth it. So I also appreciate the work you got to do after the unboxing of the fish. Most customers don't understand the extra work that has to be done before you go home for the day as they are live animal that need special care immediately and going home is not option until you are cpmplete done. And as you see a new fish you what to take them home immediately which create aquarium syndrome where you keep adding tanks to you collection then one day you house is filled with aquariums.

As soon as you said the 8 foot tank will be going soon, my first thought was, oh great!! Of course MD has to scape it again xD

Awesome video as always! It's amazing the amound of work that goes into them! Footage from Weeks or Months appart, straight to the point and full of unalterated excitment! The only bad thing about watching you is that you make me wanna buy more tanks but i have no more space in my current apartment... But *maybe*....

Those congo guppies have spots on their sides like endler guppies. Those guppy fish are fabulous. question Matt, do you ship to the USA?

Great video, Matt! So exciting to see what’s new in the shop! And that intro…😂 the best! Sending ❤ to you and your family from California! Loving where your channel is going! Learning a lot and grateful for all of your advice and encouragement to is newbies!!!!

Always excited to see and learn about fish!

Hey matt . Keep up the good work ! i'm dreaming of owning or managing a fish shop just like you

some lovely fish... and interesting fish aswell.

Love your shop Matt, you're a legend - Cheers from downunder

Dude! I love the fish you get in your shop! You should be head of stocking for all Maidenhead’s! Haha keep it up! When’s the next tank video! I need more to watch haha

Thought my headphones were broken for a sec there 😆

Where I come from the Phenacogrammus aurantiacus is pretty common. You'll find them at most fish stores at a reasonable price. They are quite lovely and they look amazing in a blackwater tank

Yay!! I have a female spotted Congo puffer and will always recommend them. I love my girl even though she’s (accidentally) given me a bit of a bite lol.

Looking trim there Matt

Başarılar temiz bakımlı bol çeşit nice 👍

Im thinking about doing a 75 gallon fresh water with puffers.

love your videos great job on this one.

My god as if I'm not in the shop enough now I need to come again hahaha

Some awesome fish, ornate climbing perch are a special species. Do you ever see jelly bean tetra, Ladigesia roloffi, on African import lists?

Lort o restarted the video, then the app, then i skipped ahead and realized it was your sound not on 😂😂😂😂. Great video though

Great vid man, as always!, love your vids, keep it up . Oh by the way , you remind me a little of Richard Dreyfuss, you now , the guy in JAWS!!. Best regards Anders , Sweden

Please do a vid about Buster

Its great seeing the different species now available.and i know prices vary up and down the country.but can you give some idea of how much they sell for...getting interested in bucktooth tetras..keep up the great videos..

Hi Matt, I'm a new subscriber and this is my first video. I could barely see the fish, there was a lot of glare. Where are you located?

Oh I’ve about 50 + Nigerian red crib baby’s 👌🏻in one of my tanks…parents passed away.they can be abit difficult compared to the common ones..

What is your week's treatment quarantine method which you touch on in these videos?

I kept hearing Costco not Congo 😅😂😂

funny thing, i watched MD's vid first, and while watching it i was thinking "you know it'ld be really cool if MD and matt set up a tank for some splash tetra's, with leaves hanging above the water so could see them do their thing" then i watch this vid and.... you have splash tetras! fate? maybe? also you would likely be a good person to ask, i'be growing curious about the breeding methods of fish and some other animals, interesting to ponder what would lead them to reproduce the way they do like the splash tetra... how did they get to the point they thought... "you know, we are wet, if we jump we can stick to the underside of that leaf and lay our eggs there, but you sir are going to have to stay here and splash them to keep them wet..." lol but... question is, are there any fish that have a stranger/more unique breeding method than the splash tetra?

The second 'c' is silent in microctenopoma, and the 'ch' in Distichodus is sounded like a 'k'.

How ironic. I live in Africa and I have to watch a UK RU-vid clip on African fish. 😢

Soooo freaking awesome! How long does it take to ship them from order to delivery? Thanks and happy Saturday 👍

Also maybe tipp for future videos. When pulling the species out of the box and explaning the species maybe put the B-Roll of the fish in the tanks and like a few days later to actually show some development on color etc to actually get people interested cause, yes when the come in they are all stress colored and there isnt much to show then lots of wiggles in murky water in bags. So for future unboxings, dont put the tank shots at the end but put them right after or inbetween the explanation. yes more cutting work but worth it.

Amazing fish wish I lived closer to your shop I’ve got golden severum can I have a plated tank with them ? And would you recommend what to have with them plz

👍🏻👍🏻

Imagine he hearts this

something up with your customers down there! How are the schoutedini and aurantiacus not all gone?

Is that a glaser shipment? Its lovely when im in my LFS at the same time they get an glaser-deliverence. I bought 5 Tetraodon schoutedeni for over a month ago and my goal is to breed them and post videos on my channel.

Have you added silver dollars to the puffer tank?

I live in Plymouth and am trying to find time to come up to your shop! I could do with advise though. In one of my local pet shops (that isn't renowned for its correct aquatics knowledge) has a type of catfish in that they have labelled as "Synodontis valentiana" but I swear it isn't. It looks far more like a feather fin catfish. I cannot keep the valentiana in my tank, but I would love to keep the feather fins. Do I take the risk of buying them? It seems impossible to get the two catfish mixed up as they are so completely different, hence why I'm sure it the catfish my local pet shop has aren't valentiana.

hey Matt didn't you get the extra nanochromis for ya self or congochromis

The almighty algorithm doesn't like the C word.

FIRST 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
