The internet can feel so saturated with relative newcomers, untested advice, and extreme hobbyists who emphasize perfection and expensive setups; these kinds of spotlights on people who have decades of experience (and sometimes whose livelihood depends on fishkeeping) are so refreshing.

He looks like a Luke Skywalker who, after retiring from being a Jedi, farmed fish.

I kind of want this dude to win the lotto just so he can mess around with fish all the time and not worry about things. I am for sure going to keep an eye out for fish they sell.

I love how he knows the scientific name for so many organisms, but has to stop and think about the common name. For me this really communicates that he's put a lot of time into research and thinking about the organisms.

This is a jaw-dropping facility. Thanks for letting us come along!

I never have the interest or patience to pick and watch anything above 20 minutes or pull up a random movie, but for some strange reason, I always watch the long Aquarium Co-op videos with no hesitation.

i would be at peace doing this for a living. what an incredible oasis they have created! Thank you and jimmy so much for sharing and to Goliad for setting an amazing standard and example.

After hearing the cost breakdown for filming this tour, I really appreciate and respect all you do for the hobby, which is truly tremendous in so many, many different ways. You are a special person. Thanks.

A greenhouse fish facility that creates its own natural fog? That’s totally beyond amazing!

Growing up in rural Australia and then "escaping" to the city I've slowly realised this is what I really want. Now I have a partner studying chemistry while I study aquaculture and the plan is finish the degrees and go back rural where property is cheap and set ourselves up as sustainable as possible. Thank you for showing us what is possible!

This is the type of fish keeping that I always geek out about! Love that it's run as one big ecosystem!

Corey please keep making this kind of content, my jaw dropped multiple times watching this. Seems like an awesome guy with a mind blowing facility. You're doing the lords work my friend!

Living the dream! its a Fish garden of Eden love it!

The BEST fish farm I've ever seen. SO COOL!

This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen! Love the plants and the water on the floor. And the snake and the dog. And the mist!

You know what Cory, you are absolutely right, i have never seen this before. Thank you for sharing.

Can’t wait to watch this later. The owner gave a talk at my local club a few months back, I love how he does things.

I would totally watch a part 2. Awesome place!

One of the best video on the hobby that I’ve seen in a long time. Well done to everyone involved.

Me and my wife sat down on our babysitter night and watched this from front to back. We just started keeping fish last month! Thank you so much for NO ADS. And thank you Goliad. His heart and his mission are very inspiring . God bless him!!

This guy could teach a class in a university.

That was amazing! I love the use of all of the plants. That sump/pond is amazing too! Now I need to go downstairs and feed my African cichlids again!

The fish, the flooring the mangrooves, it all awed me :) what an amazing littel paradise, regards Shae!

This is one of your best vids you both are very natural and interesting.Thank you from the black country England.

Just seeing this now... It is a dream of mine to open a fish store and work closely with a fish farm like this one! This is beyond beautiful, creating an ecosystem that keeps itself clean and balanced.

My kinda dream farm. Mind blown with the simplicity of this farm and the ecological centric synergy. Charles is a legend!

This is just amazing. Eutopia comes to mind. I love how they use the entire space , even the floor is functional. Thank you so much for sharing your visit with us.

Wow that’s an awesome farm! Thanks for the in-depth tour video Cory! Its nice to see how different places farm fish

Corey thank you for this video. I have purchased fish from Charles Clappsaddle before and they were some of the best Sailfin Mollies ever! This video means a lot to me. I lived in Houston for a short while but never had the chance to drive down and visit Goliad Farms. Thanks to you I just had my chance. Keep it going Corey.

.... I just learned in my Oceanography class today that the ocean pH is lower at the surface because calcium carbonate and such precipitate out, unlike at the bottom of the ocean, which has tons of shell material increasing the pH. Funny that I'm watching this video and hear him say that.

RU-vids approach to highlighting past videos that are well done and were moderately successful during COVID-19 is brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed this recommended video!!!!!!!!

AMAZING VIDEO CORY ,WORTHY OF BEING ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL ,THAT MAN REALLY KNOWS HIS STUFF 👍🏼

Love how you guys captured his story of his evolution in fish keeping

This guy is a legend. And with that dog in all the shots,,, just like I am Legend. 😁. This place is unbelievable.

Complete circle. What a gentle soul. Nice to see this incredible keeper and what he has achieved

This is absolutely amazing. An hour long video that felt like it was only scratching the surface of how complex this operation is. Honestly the most amazing part was you pointing out the fog and almost clouds in the greenhouse. It’s awesome that someone is keeping fish in such a natural way, many hobbyists would never believe possible. Thanks for the tour!

What a great video, I love watching videos such as these fish farms that are not widely advertised on RU-vid.

“She doesn’t let me pick them up with my hands anymore”. I love this guy!!!!

I love that he has no problem with the snakes in the green house. Very cool!

I can tell Cory is super excited to be there. Like a kid in a candy store.

I live in Central Texas so this peaked my interest, upon looking the place is temporarily closed down because the texas winter and they have lost alot of fish. I will be making my way out there so support this guy and check this beautiful place out

I've read this guy's articles. So cool that you have him on video. What a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for helping to pass the torch to the rest of us!

This is inspirational stuff. Really challenged a lot of what I thought I knew about how you 'had' to farm and keep fish. Thanks for the amazing commitment to bring such excellent content.

What a cool dog. The fish are cool too but that dog has a lot of character.

I’m studying in school right now but I’d honestly work a summer for free with this guy. The amount of knowledge you’d obtain would be like a decade under a professor

He doesn't kill ANYTHING! I love it :) Thanks Aquarium Coop for bringing this to us.

This is my favorite video from the coop. I have watched it three times. Such a nice hardworking man. I could listen to him every day and learn something new each time. He has a wonderful view of fish farming.

It’s so devastating combing from finishing him after his recovery from the Texas storm series then seeing this in recommended watching and seeing how beautiful and how much of his soul he poured into this

So cool! I’m excited to hear he’s working on building up his live bearers, he has some variatus that I’ve been wanting for along time now but haven’t been available since the last hurricane. Great work Cory and Jimmy!

I love how he just casually pulled some live fish out of the barrel and fed his dogs!

Definitely one of your best videos. This guys has forgotten more knowledge than most fish breeders will ever attain. It's good to know people like this still exist. Old school guys. Thanks much for sharing this with us! Really enjoyed watching.

This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a long time! I got into the hobby because I’m a wastewater treatment plant operator. The different systems of water treatment fascinate me. I was excited when he said he tried out a RBC. I would love to see a schematic of this system and how it all connects. Thanks for the awesome video Corey!

It is amazing this place exists! This is incredible! I would watch an entire documentary series on this place. I truly hope we can give this video the justice it deserves.

Ok 1 hour video and this place looks bloody awesome after just 1 minute in. Eyes glued, finger primed and ready to click that like button.

You are not boring ever Cory- just your analogies when you explain things is entertaining. And you're just entertaining when you are casually talking about every day things.

This is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Thank you for the hard work it took to get there and get footage!

What an operation! His breeding methods are amazing. If I had the space and money I would love to recreate something like this, it looks so natural to have the fish in ponds.

Wow, one of the coolest "fish room" tours I've ever seen! He has quite the ecosystem set up in that greenhouse.

Cory thank you so much for bringing this to light, after watching many fish room breeding videos this is truly outstanding. Every other setup requires crazy utility bills and massive water changes. Please keep pushing us to be better fish keepers !

That is one of the best videos I have ever seen. I think we just saw Lucas Bretz in 25 years.

Awesome spotlight! Thank you, Cory, for everything you are doing for the hobby so far. I believe you are the greatest example of how American businesses should be run, honestly and efficiently. You sir, are a true gentleman.

Awesome as always. Thanks for taking the time (and expense) to do things like this for the hobby!

OMG. This is the most fun I've had, after work, lookin' at the RU-vids. This guy is AWESOME and this dogs have to be the best German Shepherds in the universe. AMAZING!!!

I’ve watched this three times and I can not get enough of it. This is the content I’m dying for

My first tub last year, I did something similar. Just snow/rain water, leaves, sticks etc. from the winter filled it. I added Water Sprite, two pair of Swordtails, two pair of Platies. I got hundreds of each fish type fish out in a few months. No aeration, no filter (except the plants) and no water added other than when it rained. The tub would fill and often overflow. Starting the same tannin water filled tub, this weekend. Great vid Cory. Thanks.

Also I love how his dogs follow him around, peaking curiously in the tanks and gobbling up unattended fish food😂 And stopping for a quick drink right out of the tanks to wash it down. I wish we could have gotten a good look at those blue OB peacocks!

This was amazing to watch! The way the system works is just crazy. Big thanks to the cory and co-op team for introducing us to these great people in the hobby!

I love how humble he is.this is an amazing set up good to see all the plants.

This guy is a legend! Those German Shepherds are awesome too!

This is fish keeping at its very best, amazing how natural it is.

Organized chaos, I love it. It reminds me of asia. You don't need all the fancy stuff. I looks like paradise . Thanks Coopy and Jimmy.

Wow this is one of my favorite videos on RU-vid. This guy is LIVING.

Amazing to see that ecosystem thriving. I've been able to keep fish for years in what I call a "mini-ecosystem" using lower stocking and algae to maintain water quality. Recently I've started to explore live plants so I can add more stock and reduce the algae, though I still love the look of an algae covered tank. People are always amazed at my tanks and how long I have them up and running. As any dedicated hobbyist knows the average newbie will get a tank, kill a bunch of fish and give up. Admittedly I did the same years ago, long before the wealth of info was available on the internet. Once you really focus and learn how the ecosystem works you can really step up your game, even with algae alone, as I have done for many years. With most fish once you get your tank fully cycled, and I mean fully matured not an early cycle, less is truly more. If you have plenty of plants to manage water quality the only issue you really face is over stocking your tank. I do as few water changes as I can get away with. If I over stock I will have to change water for quality, but once you get your bio-load stable it's pretty much topping off. I feel that is truly the best way to keep fish. A spotlessly clean tank is not easily kept healthy. I guess I find it all interesting because I'm a fish nerd. I believe I'm in good company here. hahaha :)

What great knowledge these old fish farmers have. This is super unique.

If you get some fresh green willow branches, strip off the bark and soak it in water you get an awesome root stimulant. The root hormones are most concentrated in spring. Awesome facility! Love the natural approach.

Amazing tour Cory and Jimmy thanks so much for sharing it with us. I would definitely love to see more stuff like this! Goliad Farms is DEFINITELY doing it right!

Great video. Thanks for bringing attention to this hidden gem of a fish farm.

Oh, don't we all dream of having this kind of setup, absolutely gorgeous!

This facility is a dream come true. Thank you for sharing this epic experience with us. Cheers from East Coast, USA!

Talk about enjoying nature daily!! Everything is absolutely stunning and the sound of the water is so relaxing 😍

Yes.

Wow! Loved the tour, probably one of my favorite AC vids of all time! Thanks for sharing

You’re my go to aquarium channel. This video is amazing, I’ve been so oblivious to how my tropical freshwater fish get to my tank. Thank you so much.

That is the most amazing fish farm I've ever seen. Truly inspiring. Thanks Cory!

This is my dream place right here. If it weren't for the heat, I'd probably never leave.

Wow, what a magical water wonderland of fish to work in.🤘

I’m having the worst month of my life. My fathers cancer came back and it’s in his brain, I got fired from my job of 8 years for no reason. My house almost went into sheriffs sale bc I’m renting to own from a family member and he was spending my propert tax bill money every year for the past 4 years and I had to come up with 2 months worth of my income just to save it and that was only half of the bill. My 10 year old dog has cancer and was treated 6 months ago but he is down to his last month or 2 of life. I have not been able to think about anything positive for a long time. Life goes on for some and for others it’s time to complete the circle of life and this video helped me to accept that, and appreciate what and who I do have in my life. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. I appreciate this video more than you know. It brought me out of a dark place even if it is just for today it was worth it. Thank you and God Bless!

This is one of my favorite coop videos! Great job Jimmy and Corey!

That was awesome thanks for bringing it to us!

Love this one. Great guy, great set up, learned a lot and got a lot of ideas and fantasies now. Lol. Thanks for sharing

Amazing place, I'd no doubt easily get lost for days in those green houses just exploring everything he has going on.. Great video

the force is strong with this one

This is great. I absolutely loved this video. I would love to work there and be around that all day, everyday.

Fantastic! 🤩 What a treat! Thanks a million for bringing us along to places like this that we’d otherwise likely never see! I think my next tank might be a tub now...

One of the best videos I have seen. That facility is mind blowing and the owner is a saint! I absolutely loved watching and learning, thank you for sharing, nice work!!!! 😊💖

This is the BEST SETUP ever. I love the Sump fish. He is a genius. Everyone should watch this. It’s brilliant.

WOW!! Might be the most awesome thing, i have seen for a long time!! :D

Truly amazing methodology, this is how it needs to be done!

This vid was awesome!! Love seeing how people breed there fish stock! This guy is truly a wizard with his system. 👍👍👍👍
