Just wanted to try to send a thanks to Cory for taking the pains and costs to import the "Vienna" strain of guppies a few years ago. After I finally was able to get some on the East Coast, I have been busy with cross breeding to unlock their potential. The early results are PHENOMENAL. Working with multigenerational crosses now, and it just keeps getting better and better. Cory obviously saw the genetic opportunity this strain created... and he was absolutely correct.

[@AquariumCoop]

Awesome to hear. If you'd like to share, if you get into the facebook group, post pictures and tag me, I'd love to see em. -Cory

[@LogacysAquaticLove]

Just saying love the videos man, huge fan for awhile. Also you guys ARE NOT ALONE! The young man you mentioned an yourself with the Live bearing fish, I’m all about the live bearers! They got me into the hobby I’ll also be a fan and collect as many different colors n species as I possibly can! Much love and respect! ❤️🤙🏼💯

[@Fish_and_things_with_lando]

Do I need easy green if I have root tabs @Aquarium Co-op

[@LogacysAquaticLove]

@@Fish_and_things_with_lando yes if you mainly have plants that feed from the water column like Anubias or buce.

[@Chris-dh8mg]

Cory I predict in the next 10 years to 15 years you will be the biggest company in the hobby not because of product but because of customer service. I believe that is the most important thing coming from a business that deals with customer service. Keep up the great work

[@jaclyntorrey2692]

Touching shout out to Trevor! I love hearing about young ones learning 🙂

[@TrevorKoehler16]

Thanks so much I am Trevor and love this video 😊😊😊❤

36:00 didn't know I was going to be crying today but here we are

[@TrevorKoehler16]

Hello everyone, this is Trevor! thank you so much Cory for giving me a shout out. I am 14 years old just so you know 😅. I will definitely work at the retail store once I turn 18 I can't wait and Cory I have a gift for you! Just can't wait to bump into you at the retail store to give it to you. Hopefully this comment gets pinned for everyone to see😅!!

[@fishtroverts]

👋🏻 Trevor! You’re lucky to be close to the retail store!

[@TrevorKoehler16]

[@DansFish]

It is great to see you back in the fishroom, Cory. This is the kind of content you were making when I first found you, and it is my favorite kind of content because I learn the minutia that is often overlooked in a scripted vid.

[@cyndifalk]

So cool to give a shout out to Trevor!! I’ve been thinking about starting an aquarium club for kids - Fish Nerds Unite!!

[@TrevorKoehler16]

Thanks so much this is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me 😊😊😊❤

[@Anom_Ali]

This style of content is my personal favorite. I love to put on a low-key, long video post so that I can see and hear your updates while I do my maintenance. I like seeing the everyday water change, poop scoop, feeding, baby counting, algae scraping, just hanging in the fish room.

[@mrchumly720]

Said it before and I'll say it again, these are the best videos you're doing right now! Thank you!

[@lichy875]

Glad to see you back; long videos are my favorite.

[@pamelak819]

I do prefer the in the fish room videos. It is more applicable to my life. I also like the lives streams to have on in the background while doing chores.

[@usernamenotavailablee]

A longer, calmer video from Aqua Co-Op is a blessig nowadays. Good times were when it used to be a staple :/ ALSO after finishing the video - please don't EVER let Dean's Fishroom be shut down. Believe me, we love it as much as you guys and Dean do and I would be absolutely heartbroken. Master Dean is THE one person who inspired me to want to keep and breed tons of fish. Stay strong yall, hopefully someone from the Co-Op team will read this or even the master himself 💚

[@ChaosAquatics]

Hey Aquarium Co-Op, just wanted to drop a quick comment to say how much I loved this video! It was so cool to see the fish room again and all the beautiful fish you have. Keep up the great work, guys! #aquariumlove

[@caseyruegsegger282]

Love this style of video. Unscripted and from the heart. Well done sir!

[@csharpe5787]

Thank you for sharing, it's always appreciated.

[@ericcnewton]

I like the look of the uplift tubes on the sponge filters.

[@Bonjovicrzy]

Good to see Corey in the fish room. enjoying the fish and turtles I laughed when Corey said about watching while eating that is what I am doing

[@silverleaf15]

I love Hillstream loaches so much! I can’t get mine to breed yet, but it’s so cool that you have babies! Definitely love seeing all your tanks and talk about them. I love the passion you show for this joint during these blogs!

[@ol6906]

The 'Watching an aquarium co-op video --> to ordering another package from aquarium co-op' cycle is very real. And I love it. Thanks for the knowledge!

[@k0olmini11]

Yes yes yes yes yes, so many times. I’ve wanted to see this update

[@tshot2862]

Always love a fish room update! Hope you're doing well Cory. 🤙

[@jimmyregal]

I Recently made an order online and I'm amazed at how fast it came. Originally my order said it would arrive Thursday and it came today Monday. Definitely got a new and continued customer in me. Oh yeah and subscriber too. 👍🏽

[@destinyjarias]

I remember the cinderblock and wheely chair version of the fish room. Can't believe I've been watching this channel since at least highschool, it's so fun to come back and binge all the stuff i missed focusing on other hyperfixations 💕

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Great video! It is good to see Cory in the fishroom showing us his tips and tricks!

[@johnnypoulsen9175]

Real cool to see the fishroom again

[@mattkinsella9856]

Yes! This is what I was waiting for. I love your unscripted vids from your fishroom, just like the old days. With all the varied info and off the cuff tips, its how I always learn a little something new from you and I greatly appreciate it.

[@StoneAquatics]

Love a longer video from Cory distracts me from my horrible day!

[@reneesmith1900]

Thanks Cory!!! The fish room is fantastic!!!! Sending the Aquarium Co-Op family the best, and continued prayers for your business partner Steve💚🌿

[@Car0linaPh03nix]

This is my favorite kind of video that you do. I love these updates and seeing you maintain and upgrade all the tanks

[@ketchumifucan1130]

Keep at it Trevor! Thank you for the video. Great job.

[@TrevorKoehler16]

Thanks 😊

[@mattpitchford8634]

Keep it up Trevor, you are the man!! We need more good helpful people in the world like you wether it's dealing with fish or any other good deed keep up the good work and trust me it will take you a long way in life!! 6'9 fisher keeper here, take care!

[@mattpitchford8634]

Much love to Corey & Trevor!! Fish nerds aka nerms unite!! 6'9 fish nerd out here in Cali. I got your back Trevor & of course Corey & The CoOp crew!! Much love don't give up the fish fight cmon now!!!!

[@Mt.Anubias]

As a new fish nerd I appreciate this so much! I had an aquarium almost 10 years as a kid, but Aquarium co-op has been a cornerstone of a lifelong hobby. I can't thank you enough and I hope everyone is enjoying and growing with their aquariums!

[@TheTaraJean]

I love how much pride you take in your products. I got my plants today and I was blown away with how great they looked, especially the Java fern. I’ll patiently wait for the Anubis. I’ve learned so much from you, the group and the other videos. Thank you!

[@Yeetmaster900]

I see you've got a more aerodynamic hairdoo

[@herdouacheng05]

Hey Cory, always love and enjoy watching fish channels. I been out of the hobby for about a year due to not having my own space but I recently just rented a house so I am excited to get back in the hobby. I was currently just setting up my 15g odd ball tank while watching this video. I definitely agree with you there Cory on trying out new species of fishes. I started out with 5 tinfoil barbs, went up to monster fishes and back down to community and small fishes now but i definitely have barbs as they were my beginer favorite fishes except just more of a rarer species of barbs 😅. As for the 12yr old young man keep enjoying this amazing fish hobby. I'm sure us older hobbiest are more than happy to teach, trade and introduce you to new species of fishes.

[@KGcichlids]

Fish room is looking good

[@shesellsfish]

Always like seeing you old school just needing out in your fishroom. 👍❤️👍

[@pagewhite61]

Great video, thanks Cory!

[@misskimbenner]

I love that you were on camera using EZGreen and showing us how you feed your fish room. I’ve never fed frozen cyclops before, but now I sure do. I see you mentioned Dans Fish and, as a customer, they care about the animals they sell, which is why I don’t mind spending the extra cash to get some of my fish there. However, AquaHuna will be getting my business in a month or so for some sweet, sweet Emerald Dwarf Rasboras if they carry them. Dans fish doesn’t. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you

[@mattpitchford8634]

And YES I still watch Bob's videos almost every week even thought he didn't help me start up The Fishy Friends Network dating site all good love you guys!!!! 6'9 Cali fish keeper good vibes always!!

[@SkolNBones]

I love these videos, so relaxing. I can tell you love what you do and you really care for your fish

[@laszloszocs7477]

And i learned a new thing again from watching you toil around the fishroom so thx and keep going strong :D

[@James-zo9fj]

Really enjoy this kind of video! Loved it.

[@rafameza4186]

[@brianjeffries207]

I enjoy your videos. I really enjoy the unboxing videos from your retail stores as well to see different options in fish. The long fin Neon's in this video are beautiful.

[@PeteHoleman]

Love the Fishroom videos sprinkled with some great nuggets of knowledge.

[@shanes-aquatic]

Keep it up, Trevor! Even though I love Oscars and stuff too I also love live bearers! And have since I was a kid, Especially Platies! I may get into Endlers when I set up my next tank but still not sure. There are so many options!

[@TrevorKoehler16]

Cool will do😊😊❤

[@assiahinarkansas]

I love these videos in your fishroom. Thanks!

[@reginaphalanges7331]

Awesome video Cory! Thanks so much! I really love seeing your fish room❤.. My one and only Mom and Pop local fish store is closing, and I'm heartbroken 💔. I was a regular customer and befriended the owners and staff. They just were constantly in the red, the last year or 2. The business has been around for decades. I'm glad that your business is thriving!❤

[@MelodieRose727]

Great to hear from you! Lots of fun to see you in your Fishroom. ❤

[@johncrowell9014]

Love this type of videos. Keep up the great work Cory!

[@ReneesZooTube]

Loved this video! 💖 Looking forward to more like it! 💖😊

[@DirtSailor5]

I love this type of video. I'm not able to keep fish at the moment so I'm kind of living vicariously through all of fish tube. The feeding the maintenance the weekly routines the aquascapes, I eat it all up. I especially like the videos which are kind of like this, nothing too heavy just a day and the life of a fish keeping as you tell us what your thought process is.

[@ejfishes7610]

Keep the fishroom videos coming!

[@jnorman5390]

My fish swim straight to my hand everytime 😂😂

[@aquaestate6241]

Loved this video, the streams and everything aquarium coop does. Thanks team!

[@Scaperoot79]

Nice surprise!

[@jimmyjames2022]

Fish room updates with Cory are awesome and always a treat, thanks Team! First it's Cory's wisdom and experience, then there's enough tanks that lots of maintenance and tank health issues get addressed, plus I love the turtles. Hint for Cory's polo shirts: avoid the dryer and air dry the shirt on a hanger in ambient room temperature, the collar stays in great shape. Though once it's heated in a dryer it never regains it's former shape IME.

[@AquariumCoop]

Honestly these shirts just kinda suck. But I’m cheap and the ones I like have been out of stock for 2 years

[@Lazien24]

Thanks for this video Cory. I learned how to catch fish and how to fix my plants.

[@kbozzie5951]

Very nice update. Loads of great info across the spectrum.

[@joshkorb529]

Some of my favorite videos are your fish room updates. Love your work! Thank you for your constant transparency, tips and tricks to enjoy this hobby more! Appreciate you aquarium Co-Op

[@TheFishCorner]

I genuinely enjoyed this video Cory. From feeding the fish to you just talking at the end. I watched the entire video. Thank you for everything you do. By the way, I’ve been watching you for years. I remember when you introduced me to guapote Mel years ago. Being that Dovii is my favorite fish, I’m sure you could understand the value in that. As I said, thank you. Many blessings sent to you, your family and your business. Until next time.

[@dawnvarty657]

I'm happy to know you're working on improving your anubias. I bought a nana petite in February that I knew when I saw it that I was gonna have to wait for an emersed plant to convert. It melted almost immediately to 5 leaves. I'm happy to say that it's now nearly half the size it was when I bought it and doing very well. Thanks for watching out for us.

[@tantran-pr2hb]

I have so much joy and learn watching his videos 👍🏻

[@og5607]

[@sdtoyhunters1401]

Thanks Cory, I’ve been a little down, a lot going on in life, but your video motivated me to go into my garage and just enjoy my fish and turtle. I hope you have a great weekend,

[@AquariumCoop]

Time with nature is always rewarding

[@stevecox8066]

Loved the fish room. Especially like having seating instead of all the tubs. Which is really difficult to say since the tubs were insanely cool for their purpose. As a 25 year military vet, gotta say I'm loving the hair my friend!

[@TwinkleStar987]

Always a pleasure to see such healthy and happy fish ❤️

[@nattfodd7728]

I have a recommendation for your theater. Build a safe and minimal platform for the recliners behind the couch. It doesn't have to be very high just enough to see over the heads of the people on the couch in front, you can staple down some cheap carpet and line it with tube lights like at cinema, and if you want to go the extra mile get an inflatable mattress and a bolster and a couple pillows to but on the floor in front. Maybe even get a projector and a sound system. You'd be surprised how cheaply you can do all of the above.

[@Jen.K]

Watching these videos is bitter/sweet for me. I love the content and information, I hate that I can't buy the products here in Australia. But seeing Ladybug enjoying her dinner makes it all worthwhile, she is adorable.

[@kurtbrutting5118]

I love your baby turtles, super awesome stuff! Great content!

[@onlywei]

Loved the talk at the end of the video.

[@Elquinjena]

Glad that you are focusing more on what you love to do, getting back to your roots.

Its nice to see you back in the fishroom. Takes me back to first coming across your channel, cinder blocks and all. Keep truckin, best wishes to all!

[@renedecquir1931]

Amazing output on that Sponge filter. Are you testing a jetlifter type of system compatible with the Co-op sponge filter?

[@AquariumCoop]

I'll be releasing an air lift system yes.

[@gigi3242]

Thanks Cory

[@andrewspeedyatkinson]

Thanks cory the fish room looks grate keep up all the amazing work

[@nabokovfan87]

Good to see new plants.

[@BakeJake]

I couldn't help but to notice, are you working on some new angled lift tubes? I was thinking about that side bubble issue, if a cone was designed that covers just the top edge of the sponge with just enough taper to direct the stray bubbles. Maybe have it secure by popping it onto where the bullseye is and extending the strainer under the cone and of course where the tube goes upwards whatever needed due to the angle of the cone! That could be the fix, innovating on how these things function!

[@GlassSurfing]

Woah! How'd I miss those huge uplift tubes on the ACO sponge filters??

[@edwardsclaure4638]

Really enjoyed it. Keep up the great content and products.!

[@Marshallo.o]

Thanks for keeping it real

[@SamuelDelBuono-fr3oy]

From the heart!!! Thanks

[@ralphie14]

Always like the updates, I wish you guys would bring back the wish list option on the website though. I used to keep a number of things stored in there that I would add to my cart when I needed to order food or plants. Without the wish list deal though a lot of times I forget to order things here and there because it slips my mind between food/plant orders.

[@sarahwoodring5587]

Hello and best wishes to Trevor! I'd love to see their neon tetra carving; that's a dope hobby in addition to fishkeeping. @Aquarium Co-Op, thanks for the fishroom video. As always, i learned a bunch.

Hello this is Trevor my pronouns are he/him and I am 14 years old just letting you know and I love working with wood and making projects i made a neon tetra for Jaden and a bronze cory cat for Colin and a schoutedeni puffer for Ginessa!

[@AussieRic]

best vids were you guys catching wild fish in the amazon and showing breeders.

[@chia_pet7121]

Back yard yup. Hen Turkey looking for a friend. Several times a week. Not even very afraid. Bird calls app is free and fun. Sitting on the deck in the morning. We live in central Washington but your fish merchant won’t sell to us. Really don’t enjoy the big boxes. Cheers and keep the videos coming.
