What were the loaches that were schooling at the 12:50 mark?

[@evan_rifkind]

Xanthic Fire Eel!

[@diydesignbuilds2004]

I am so happy for both cory and dean, cause cory talked about getting one since i began watching some of his very first fishroom build videos

[@uniqueparker7354]

100% I’ve been watching for 4 years and he has always talked about wanting some

[@TheTurtleGirl]

Oh. My. Gosh!!!! Mildly freaking out right now. Congrats on the new baby! Elmer is so precious - I think Dean’s looks like a Hugo.

[@christopherwescott551]

My grandfather's name is Elmer,sadly he passed away a few months ago. Such a good name.

[@ElderPinto254]

Two grown very smart men with there cute litlle babies so cute so tender. Awesome to see!!

[@stephsexoticpets]

THEY'RE SO CUTE! & aw dean is a great friend. The way he hopped up to get the warm water really showed he wanted to help.

[@morganbouckley650]

COMINNG TO THE STORE SOON CORY!!! Huge fan!!!

[@TazawaTanks]

Finally! I have been waiting for this video to come out so that I didn't have to keep it a secret anymore! The tank is looking great...but I see that Universal Rocks is gonna' do what they do! LOL!

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

You did an awesome job keeping the secret 🙌🤣

[@diveinnature2990]

I’ve had mine for about 4 years now and I love him. Welcome to the club of having perhaps the coolest turtle!

[@computerwizard3908]

How big do they get

[@diveinnature2990]

@@computerwizard3908 mine is still young it’s carapace is only about 10-11” long and it weighs about 3 lbs as of about 2 months ago. From what I’ve read they can weigh up to almost 40 Ibs when fully mature at around 20 years. Mine is an estimate of 6 years old.

[@LonghornInOmaha]

@@computerwizard3908 Ours is about 21 years old and easily over 20" long. Luckily, it's a male and they don't get a big as the females. But, he's still a very large turtle. He lives in a 4'x8'x30" 600 gallon tank and I wouldn't keep one an anything smaller as an adult.

[@dugangant]

Where are you guys purchasing them from? I would like to get one but can never find any place that sells them. And I know they are poached and are illegally sold but don't want one that way.

[@diveinnature2990]

@@dugangant unfortunately unless you are in direct contact with the the original person who either bred or imported its hard to know for sure the nature of how it got to the states. In my case I bought it from a guy who inherited the turtle from his deceased father who bought it to put in a display tank at a salon in Miami. The son kept fish but didn’t have time to take good care of it so he posted an ad on offer up of all places and me and my dad split the price and got it as a Father’s Day gift for ourselves. So I don’t know to put it shortly but luckily mine now enjoys a 1200 gallon pond all for itself instead of the 200 gal it was in and sharing with several large aggressive fish with its previous owner

[@bunnyviperaquatics2108]

Love the cabinet that holds Elmer’s tank- GORGEOUS! Congratulations, Cory! Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Well deserved, & super -lucky turtle!

[@westfishtanks6789]

Congratulations on the turtles! Love that you were committed to only getting ones with proper documentation; so worth it to see how happy you are now. Best of luck!

[@kamanthanorlin28]

I had to keep rewinding it when Elmer takes off with his wafer and Cory says, "And he runs!". That is so adorable and hilarious to me. 🥰🤣😂

[@browdser]

Elmer is so beautiful, and what a perfect set up! hope we get to see it with some greenery soon. I assume turtles munch on plants a lot but surely some val would be nice

[@elsernall8732]

Coop videos always have a certain “Vibe” to them and it’s all thanks to Jimmy’s editing and Audio. This was no exception. Congrats on your new water pet!

[@garrettstewart7293]

Dreams do come true!

[@mesterh6402]

Congratulations Cory, such a long wait. You deserve it!

[@Em-fz6eb]

I know absolutely nothing about turtles but they are so stinking cute!!! Adorable.

[@sdd201]

One of the most Cutest animals I have ever seen !!!!!!

[@johncameron4194]

Awwwww cute. Congratulations and .enjoy

[@joshuastover1047]

They’re so cool. I hope to have some some day. I’m still in the doghouse for bringing home a 60lb alligator snapper so I should probably wait a while

[@bageljade2165]

That was the most badass thing I’ve ever heard 😳

[@patriciawhite1206]

Long while

[@gizmospazz]

😂 Yeah, I'd wait a bit after that one.

[@ghostwalk2446]

Bro you're already in the dog house, now's the time, why wait and go back to the dog house again? Lol

[@lukeclarke8054]

Do it now wile your still in trouble. She can’t get mad again she’ll just get more mad.

[@CopperCanyonTerrapins]

Congrats Cory on finally acquiring a fly river! Such a cool animal! I look forward to watching it grow through updates on the channel.

[@tylersessions2214]

No freaking way. Total dream animal for an aquarium. What Cory's are those??

[@michaeljohnston4167]

OH MY GOOOD! Been watching since the early days with Lamont! When the coop had around 30k subs or less and I remember you talking about FRTs and how you'd love to have one. It's a dream for me to have one too! At least I can live vicariously and watch yours grow! So awesome you were able to get babies! I can't wait to see them grow and watch their personality!

[@stephsexoticpets]

I demand more adorable footage of these guys!!

[@philcavallini9657]

Brad and Matt did a fantastic job bringing in there creatures! Yes Cort any water turtle that has been in above water conditions need time to expel their trapped air in their carapace. Beautiful FRT!!!

[@BrentY5285]

So happy for both of you! Congratulations!

[@susanrenovated4728]

Turtles are the best. I love my turtle almost as much as I love my dog. So happy for you!!!

[@wmarian5027]

Congrats and thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the Elmer live cam :)

[@Z4U3398]

Where I work, we have huge Fly River turtles. They're omnivorous but a diet higher in green stuff is recommended for adults. Fruits! They love sweet fruits like peach, mango, etc but not too much as sugar can fatten them up to the point of obesity.

[@tractordoctortv]

I'm so happy for you Cory to be able to mark another thing off your bucket list.

[@Alex-cf8os]

Your video editor has a great sense for sound, and a good sense of humor! tell him he is doing a good job!

[@bigflyaquaria9773]

I love love love that you have the little guy now. It is in a good place!

[@juanjgf]

Im happy for you Cory, I know these have been a dream for you for a long time, I'm also glad you did comment on the CITES and being legit, these are absolutely not for everyone and they shouldnt be spun around to anyone with the money just because they can.

[@kamanthanorlin28]

They are ADORABLE!!!

[@Charlie-zt8ei]

Congrats on your bucket list pet! They are SUPER cute!

[@connerbixby6532]

I started following the channel long after Murphy became Mighty so looking forward to Cory having fun with his new pet. 2 feet is quite a lot of turtle.

[@pamelapilling6996]

Congratulations Cory and Dean. How exciting for you both.

[@elissajackson5140]

Congratulations on your new ultimate turtle pet. I remember you wanting to try and breed them a long time ago.

[@cmpi82]

Congrats on getting Elmer! so happy for you, especially since I know you've wanted 1 for so long.

[@johnwood738]

Very nice,glad you got them .You have wanted them as long as I have been following you ( years)!

[@leecherone7601]

I’ve kept turtles for many many years, including Flynose. If you need anything answered let me know. But basically they’re easy as to keep only with a few things to look out for as I’m sure you are aware. I’m in U.K. where all turtle sales now have been banned from stores / breeders due to our ponds / streams having them being dumped in.

[@JamesCroney]

Amazing you finally got your dream fish. Err, turtle. You have wanted this for years. Good job realizing your dreams with hard work.

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

Congratulations Cory. I've heard you mention wanting one of these before. So, I know what a big deal it is. I'm happy for you.

[@andrewlipic8414]

Super happy for you. It's great to see someone finally get their bucket list aquatic animal

[@CJBlack265]

Oh wow!! Congratulations! I know you've been wanting one for awhile now - you can check that off your 'bucket list' - 💕👍

[@darrylmoore5847]

Congratulations, I am beyond happy for you.

[@greengroveaquatics]

Congrats! Truly happy for you.

[@aljanecko]

You’ve wanted these for a long time, very happy for you.

[@Desertfish]

So amazing. Congratulations they look awesome!

[@petsbiology9316]

Congratulations, Cory and Dean! It's so thrilling to see that you're adding reptiles to your collection. My bucket list also includes pig-nosed turtles, as well as Asian arowanas, freshwater stingrays, tortoises, parrots, and saltwater crocodiles (all can be legally sold and kept here in the Philippines, with the necessary permits and documents)

[@simonwalsh9801]

Congratulations. Glad you could finally get something from your wish list. And that Dean could be part of it.

[@h20culturelabs96]

It is so cool to see you finally get your dream animal! I look forward to watching it grow!

[@KGcichlids]

I’m super stoked you finally got one!

[@janecourtenay3676]

[@Shelzbells]

The turtles are so adorable. This will be fun watching them grow.

[@reginaphalanges7331]

Such a cute little turtle! He's going to be very happy in your care!🥰

[@dirkdar1]

I am insanely curious in how this is going to go. I have been wanting to get one myself but am afraid. Document everything for us please.

[@susanosman3643]

So happy that they BOTH lives!

[@eyrie7740]

Congratulations on your turtle, its adorable

[@vivienleigh4640]

So cute when he swam away with his veggie cookie!

[@chrishofmann3028]

Congratulations Cory that fly river turtle looks amazing

[@jfrederick77]

So cute! Congrats!

[@andrewspeedyatkinson]

Looking grate Cory thanks for the update

[@DansFish]

Congrats, Cory! I know you have been talking about getting a Fly River for years and I'm thrilled you were finally able to make it happen. I grew up with one of these...romaine lettuce was a favorite treat.

[@shadowmarez7457]

They're Adorable!

[@libbyrust]

Oh, they're beautiful! Good luck with them, that's awesome! 💖

[@kimphillips4226]

They are adorable!

[@thedude2867]

I hope you plan on donating the turtles to a breeding program(when they get bigger) that is going on in Florida. The coolest freshwater turtle on the planet.

[@matthewzito6130]

The Bronx Zoo used to have Rainbowfish with an adult Fly River Turtle, which made a nice biotope display.

[@stephenbird5641]

Just a warning. I had a pair of large rare turtles here in Thailand and after over a year the male got stuck in some decoration. He went in and couldn't back out and drowned. I thought he'd escaped until the water started to smell. You have potential death traps in your tank. Good luck.

[@physetermacrocephalus2209]

D:

[@Bridget_Leavitt]

Omg they're adorable! Happy to know they're in good hands with you and Dean!

[@Xarpolis]

Hey Cory. It's been a little over 6 months. Any update on this tank that you set up?

[@jamesmorningstar5217]

Elmer looks awesome and so does the tank. Keep up the good work Cory

[@Lycramosa]

He's so cute! I'm so glad you finally got one!

[@bongababat8297]

Those are gorgeous!

[@i8dpie]

These turtles really lucked out going to Cory and Dean! I never even heard of pig nose turtles-can't wait to see their piggy faces as they grow.

[@vidareptilia]

I just finished watching Kamp Kenan’s video of his huge Fly River so to see a tiny one right after is crazy! Never seen baby ones before!

[@joeestes4958]

Congrats guys. They are awesome

[@mr.kalopsia3273]

Super cool, congrats to the both of you. I look forward to seeing them grow.

[@vampgaia]

Elmer is so cute! Congratulations! Also Lady Bird has gotten much bigger since you last showed her off.

[@Hoondju]

Just used ur site to order plants for the first time a d I love the plants and how well they are packaged 📦 ty

[@ladydiane6839]

LOVE the excellently packaged boxes from the co op .... no one is better

[@sal9842]

Wow he is cool .. can’t wait to see more of this turtle… I have never seen one before till now seriously didn’t think they existed .. I’m excited as if it was mine .. thanks so much for sharing this … sooooo dang cool man

[@thestruggler1000]

Leave plenty of room for the fly rivers air exchange . God bless you both

[@Maeg]

Congrats Cory, been listening to this dream for a long time, glad to see you got it done!

[@blitzedpeacockbassfishing984]

Glad to see you finally worked out the Symantec’s. You’ve been talking about wanting one for a really long time, enjoy!

[@eddiestevens8438]

Please change the inflow for the filter. I have experienced things getting stuck and dying against pipework. The way that turtle wedged against the pipe gave me visions of it swimming up and behind the pipe and getting stuck and drowning!

[@MakeMoreFish]

Congratulations! Very exciting.

[@alicorydorie5429]

The turtle is adorable. Glad you got him! He looks kinda like a "Henry" to me lol.

[@Nahavara]

He’s so cute. :)

[@drewschmidt6314]

Congratulations glad you finally got one. I hope you find your metallic platies next.

[@aperson336]

Wow they have really grown!!

[@harryjohnson1307]

Nice addition. I hope all goes well for the turtle.

[@shesellsfish]

So psyched for you, Cory! You've talked about wanting a fly river turtle forever. So glad you got Elmer. He's going to have a great home. 👍❤👍

[@Lilmopinator]

These little guys look just like Florida soft shells! I find all kinds of sizes in my backyard. Biggest one I've seen was a little over 2 feet
