Aquarium Co-Op what kind of angels are those .. there so colorful

[@stclairstclair]

Aquarium Co-Op, Could you tell me how you feel about under gravel filters, I see your tank, I've done under gravel for 30 years not knowing the entire world abandoned this years ago, It's all I know, Thank you.

[@Aquatic_Amigo]

Aquarium Co-Op what kind of angels are those they have alot of orange

[@tonyawilson1856]

Aquarium Co-Op super guy

[@maxmaier5685]

Dean is one of the most knowledgeable and genuine people in the hobby. Such an awesome guy.

[@tonyawilson1856]

Max Maier agreed

[@17john23]

Angels are sitting there looking at you talking. I have Angels as well. Love them

[@THEprincessFirefly]

I had kept fish from age 5 to 30. Mostly livebearers. We could never keep Angels alive. Gave away all my tank (close to 20 tanks) and did keep any fish till I turned 39. I got a betta and a khuli loach. Had them in a 2 1/2 gallon tank. Wanted to get them a bigger tank. My BF bought me a 10 gallon for my 40th birthday. Now Im 41 and have 10 tanks. And in my 40 gallon Ive got 2 Angels. I got tgem at about quarter size now they are full grown. Im beyond proud. Ive also managed to breed my Zebra Danios and raise the fry to adulthood. Only ever breed livebears before. I owe alot of the info I learned and added to my years of fish keeping to Irene, Cory and Dean. Thank you for shareing your knowledge and helping people to keep fish better!

[@annethornton9938]

ROFL - love how @7:00 _every_ _single_ angel has their eyes locked on Dean as he showcases the different foods he feeds them!

[@amberlance3221]

7:05 😂 Dean: "they also take flakes" Angel Fish (in unison): "GIMME FLAKE!!"

[@benjaminsonksen4451]

I noticed that too, and rewatched it a few times!

[@SuperRAJORSHI]

They know their dishes 😀😀❤️

[@OrionMoonliar]

I watched this video before getting my angel babies and its one hundred percent attendance when i grab the vibrabites and they all look away when I grab the flakes 😂

[@Ramkatral]

Not like they had much else to look at...

[@madfishdiva]

Really good information. Very comprehensive and not too complicated. Dean is so awesome.

[@stevesaquatics165]

This series is a winner! Please keep the species profiles from Dean coming. Please, please, please

[@tessaperigo496]

I've never seen potted plants in a tank and I think I'm obsessed

[@Sarah-xd5cq]

Tessa Perigo loool its such a good idea🤣

[@GouramiNatural]

I always do that cause I'm lazy 😂

[@cheetha-ku2zc]

What do your farts smell like

[@panther2341.]

​@@tessaperigo496 I'm obsessed with you❤

[@The100thDove]

You were "by far" one of the easiest people to listen to! I've tried to listen to other blogs about angelfish & simply couldn't finish due to annoyance. Thank you!

[@thegamingwitch]

I'm so glad I found this video. I'm planning on revamping my dad's 50 gallon tank. The tank is about as old as the house, so about 20 years. He doesn't really take care of the tank anymore other than the occasional water change and he still feeds them. But the tank is full of algae and and the rocks are covered in algae. He had a group of tetras, two corydoras, and a few danios (I think). So I'm planning to save up the money and redo his tank for his birthday in February. I've been looking at koi angelfish because they're gorgeous. And I'm planning to do a little bit of aquascaping with a piece of driftwood and some moss to make it look like a tree, and maybe some decorative bowls with plants in them.

[@eatsalad728]

How did it go? Hearing such a thoughtful gift made me smile

[@bestaquariumfish]

Great tips! With 50 years of experience, I can say Freshwater Angelfish are amazing pets. Keep up the good work!

[@thatguywhohasfish]

I’ve been so scared to get Angelfish, the misinformation on the internet is wild. This video has given me the confidence I needed to begin my Angelfish journey. Thanks for making this video ❤

[@CaylorsReptilesAquatics]

Thanks for sharing Dean. I've just started my 56th year of keeping fish continuously. I have not kept one species of fish for that period. Angels are one of my staples. I have two large marbled pairs in a 55g now. I'm one month into my first salt tank. Checked that off my fish bucket list. Great informational video. Thanks again, I always enjoy your presentations.

[@toddratson7526]

Anytime I see Dean in a video I get excited. He has so much knowledge and experience and shares it in an easy to understand way. Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@natexlb123]

I could kill a whole evening watching Dean videos.

[@tashritchie3832]

Love his info. I myself have been keeping angels for over 30 years and they're still my favorite

[@masonfranz9313]

I avoided keeping angels despite their obvious iconic attributes because they were so prevalent with so many poor examples in my area. I have been inspired by Dean certainly, but also by the collaboration happening with Dean, Jimmy and Cory (Aquarium Co-op) to keep this fantastic fish. I found this information incredibly helpful to someone who will keep them for a first time and thank you all.

[@annethornton9938]

This is such a thorough, helpful, relaxing, and generous video! Angels are on my bucket list, hope to have a tank for them in the next six months, and this answered so many of my questions in ways other videos haven't. Look forward to checking out more of Dean's videos to learn from his vast experience! Thank you!

[@SquibDibbly]

Thank you dean. I raised my temp and been feeding live baby brine and my angels I’ve had for a week already spawned some eggs :)

[@saadmaanshahrier]

I really like this care guide Also I like how he honestly spoke about why he keep them It was very helpful!

[@pauloalves4337]

Those are problably the most beautiful angels i haver seen. The colours are just amazing. Congrats.

[@cherietasker9448]

Just started getting into Angels myself and this video was just what I needed to see in my news feed! Fantastic looking fish Dean, great presentation!

[@jackadair6225]

I really like these fish care guides with Dean. Pretty comprehensive without going too far into “the numbers” and is still easy to follow along. Hope to see more like this in the future. I also like how he mentions the culling aspect of breeding, something that I think a lot of newbies don’t consider until they actually see the fry their fish have produced.

[@MyceliumMan_]

It's good hearing from breeders. I'm glad you've been having him on.

[@Maggie19701]

Now I know why they called in the master is certainly very Knowledgeable Always ready to help answer questions.I can tell he loves angels what a guy

[@karenhann8956]

Thanks Dean! 💕 Just received 4 bright orange Koi Angelfish ~ they've been on my wishlist for a while now. It's been many years since I've kept angels ~ thought I'd watch a few videos to see if there was anything I needed to catch up on. Delighted to see you sitting in front of a tank full of the little beauties! And you covered everything I needed to know (without the long winded nonsense). Thank you! 💦

[@jethawk9941]

That’s true watching your fish grow is fun I got my read belly piranha when he was only about a few inches and I loved watching him grow and lose his black dots know he’s a big boy

[@underdog1117]

By far my favorite freshwater fish. Ever since I was a kid I kept them and I always love them perfect thanks for the info

[@petroman-cg8tt]

i use to breed angelfish back in the eighties, in very soft water with a ph-6.4 85 degrees, same as discus, always bread very easy in these conditions. kept then in tall 65 gallon aquariums with a 4 inch sand substrate, with plants.

[@joylittler7971]

Angelfish are my absolute favorite. This is the best video I’ve ever seen on them. Thank you so much!

[@carlyphilpott269]

I have an angelfish, I've had him for maybe a year and a half or two years? Not sure exactly how long but he thrives very well with our community fish. Our community tank is about to upgrade from 20 gallons to 65 gallons, so we're excited to give him a ton more room! He's not too big yet, but he's a sweet boy and he gets really excited around people.

[@Afi_18]

I can see the fish were excited when he was showing us their food pellets/essentials totally loved it ❤️

[@shesellsfish]

Love learning from you, Dean. Your fish and fry are proof that what you're doing works.

[@FishEZ]

Dean's the best! I recently added some angels to my fish room. First time having some of these. They are Koi as well. They have been a delight so far.

[@timmcdermott9110]

Dean is great to listen too and has a wealth of knowledge that can only help us novice fish keepers and I'm sure experts too.thanks Dean and Aquaruim Co-op .

[@09keller]

Does Dean have a KZbin channel?

[@Maggie19701]

Just wanted to let Dean and Cory know I accidentally KZbin on my TV up pops this video I’m hooked like a big Mac or can’t get enough absolutely love you too

[@Sujithracingheart]

7.19 the angels got excited when he took the flakes for feeding 💜

[@dragonscences7082]

3:37 my friend has 2 rainbow fish and 4 big angelfish and all of them get along fine

[@gromboul7198]

Thank you for doing these. I love listening to Dean

[@RoccosVideos]

I'm glad you said the fish food smells good! I thought that recently with some new fish food I bought. It's good to know I'm not the only one.

[@2574mcu]

Angelfish fish are my favorite fish. Theres nothing better than seeing them grow from nickel size to full grown is great.

[@rajpradeep87]

I got them very small in size and once they grew up the first thing they did is form pairs and fight with each other aggressively, not sure how your tank is so peaceful with so many angels…😊

[@bguen1234]

He's doing water changes every other day and filtering heavily.

[@AJBAdventures]

Massive amount of knowledge from Dean, great to learn about these angels being new to the hobby!

[@fishclown490]

Dean, it's an honor to listen to you !!!

[@kedymccauliff8576]

Years of watching KZbin on fish and finally getting my own after watching your video! Ty!

[@nathanielm.6275]

Great video. Dean is always great to listen to and learn from, so much experience.

[@Tuishimi]

Went to your site, your angels are gorgeous! Right now I have 4 (1 marble, 2 calico, 1 silver) in a 55 Gallon community aquarium with some tetras, 3 gouramis (1 blue, 1 pearl and 1 dwarf) and 2 leopard ctenapomas. The angels are the stars of the aquarium. When my next tank is ready I will be visiting your site again!

[@rayquatics23]

Got a 20 long with a pair of angels from a local breeder always love listening to dean for tips

[@rinchhanarenthlei6632]

I could feel the pain in his voice when he said about culling the fry with deformities I'm having a hard time too cause I gave so time in caring for my guppy fry dat I couldn't just kill it... sad

[@destryl1076]

This was the most useful info i have watched om angelfish which i absolutely love and plan on filling my 75 with

[@mlrausch7708]

Almost makes me want Angels, but still stuck on Rams for now. Always am happy to see a new Dean video! Thanks guys!!

[@MrsBJPalmer]

Thanks, Dean!! Always teaching us what it takes to provide for our fish!

[@ryansib8661]

So happy to hear the old time lapse music again 😂 bring it back!

[@banorful]

Love the how to with Dean! This one helped a lot as I have 40 Angelfish fry that I am raising at the moment! Voracious little appetites to!

[@abshoelace]

Love this format. More of these, please.

[@jamesstraub4981]

Great video brother. Angels are my favorites.

[@Shelzbells]

Really enjoyed this. Thanks for all your expertise Dean.

[@mentalistsa]

Great video. Got two koi angels in 16 gallon tall. They are paired up and swim slowly and not very much. Why I love angels. Suspended sometimes in middle of tank.

[@FishRfun]

I've got 1 tricolor and 2 phillipino blue zebra angelfish. These are my first angelfish. They're in a 55g community tank with praecox rainbows and neon tetras. There's also 9 different species of corydoras in that tank, so the bioload is big. I run 2 seachem tidal 110s going full blast with the surface skimmers set almost to off...I like a little for uneaten food on the surface. Both hob filters have a course sponge, then filter floss, then biomedia last...in both filters. I also run a 24watt uv sterilizer to cut down on water-born pathogens.

[@Alex.E.M]

the way he talks about them has probably convinced me on a couple for my community tank

[@garnetmoon3485]

Love the potted plants. How do you know which flower pots are safe, aside from unpainted terra cotta ones?

[@donnasujkowski3886]

Was thinking that same thing?

[@ikashibimauler]

You can safely use whatever you have. I'm not proud of it, but I have used empty sour cream containers and all sorts of stuff. You do not need holes in the bottom, and its actually better if you don't have them. If you want to go natural/dirt in the pots, cover the compost/growing mix or whatever with a solid layer of sand or gravel to keep it from all getting washing out.

[@howieleong5995]

Your knowledge amazes me! Keep it up.

[@randystewart8895]

Thank You Aquarium Co-Op and Dean! Very informative and beautiful content. What a generous expert with the best fish.

[@LittleLargeMouth]

I love Dean’s Corner

[@ricardocorbie6803]

Great content Sir,, your fish really love you, whilst you were doing the video, they stayed close to you in the tank!! Really nice to see!!

[@aljanecko]

I Love how they look at Dean.

[@kpbsas91776]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing Dean. Dean is giving up the good stuff.....

[@GraceAdd22]

Thise really orange Angels are so amazing!

[@Mountain_viewnature]

T The whole time the fishes were looking at him or the treats

[@johnday8204]

Your knowledge Dean is second to none many thanks

[@kellysuzanne976]

I have three in my 29 gallon they grow fast very fast , I have mine with cherry barb's and white clouds.

[@galsenekovic]

No..they grow to full size in at least 70-80gallon tank:)

[@kellysuzanne976]

@@galsenekovic I didn't say they was full grown when I posted that comment. I got them at dime size and within a year they had grown so much bigger so fast, that's what i meant . I still have two of those angelfish they now are in a 60 gallon and I am getting 4 more this weekend. I'm actually trading my rainbow fish for the angels I'm picking up this weekend .

[@Maggie19701]

This is the best video on Angels ! think I watched it four times.Really don’t care about breeding just enjoy watching them grow.Been doing brine shrimp that I bought at aquarium coop. Astounding product to say the less .And also loved Your Peru trip with Cory and the Gang absolutely hilarious most of it .life is good Margie B

[@PincheMigs]

Great info and what a natural in front of the camera!

[@carldozer]

More Dean! He is the best

[@Pedro116092]

the most helpful vid on Angelfish around. Super informative. Great work

[@sonoinpace]

my tanks recognise my frozen food packages, that being said, it is hilarious to watch the Angels staring at all those foods.

[@Loveofpets]

Great information about Angel Fish. I used to own some many years ago.

[@p3teytran]

I'm always shocked when I hear Dean share his experience. It's amazing

[@RYUKIVLOCK]

Finally a Guy thats making sense to me ... I can learn from more

[@Lumpydog]

Thanks for the information Dean. Yet another enjoyable Aquarium Co-Op video. Very nice video work too. Cheers

[@pungr]

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, very helpful.

[@kerrypitt9789]

Thanks Dean! When I was 8 or 9 I had Angels. They spawned through no skill of my own. I still like them today. This is a great video for all of us who love Angelfish.

[@redjzaiable]

I’ve got angel zebra, red devil, blue green and black total in 6pcs. Algae eater flying fox 8pcs on my 29gal

[@jillking23]

Beautiful angels Dean. Love the black and orange..♥️ Appreciate all the info! 😊

[@eceserin]

I really Like Dean, very soft spoken.

[@treytonshanahan8629]

I have mine in a 10 gallon tank and a liitle gloshark thru do good

[@Theholisticpractitioner]

Mine are paired and mated. Never buy from a pet store that sell hamsters. Go to an aquatic centre. I've never had luck with pet shop angels sadly. I've brought from very tiny. 30 gallon 2 fish, nothing else. Maybe a bottom feeder. Keep consistent with water changes and keep it simple with food. Sounds crazy, but talk to them give them attention. Tank high and tall. Beautiful happy fish.

[@mattlee6288]

Great info from a clearly knowledgeable man. Thank you sir!

[@andreawhite1496]

I've always loved "fancy" fat bodied goldfish. Í had a decent amount as a child. But I have also loved angel fish. But my experience ends at a couple in a community tank my mother had when I was growing up. I just never personally kept any. I've been planning a new tank now that I'm an adult and knowso much more. I was torn between doing a beautiful, colorful and entertaining tank with goldfish, or a more "grown up" beautiful and more sophisticated tank with angels. But these beauties have all the bright colors of the goldfish I love mixed with the elegance of angels. I'm sold!!

[@Rich_ard]

Love this video format, can't wait for more.

[@AndeeKiss]

Wow! I love these "Dean videos"! 😀 Very informative! The angels are beautiful!!! Thank you very much!

I bought your recommended food for my angelfish and it loves it!

[@_Pelagikos14]

My Angels have been absolutely CRAZY about the Hikari Vibra bites! Which others did you purchase? I'm contemplating the Sera O'nip tabs & the flakes as well. 🙂🐠

[@heirloomaquatics4175]
