It was a great day out, Thanks for letting me tag along 🙂

[@BC-uu6iz]

I enjoy seeing you being honest without hiding/ manipulating! the fishkeepers need loads like you in this hobby apart you are the age of my son, your customers should be proud of you!

[@soalgamer894]

Bro I am really motivated from you, Iam from India and Indian public loves you please make a video on how to breed gourami fish ❤❤

[@swarajmalaye6955]

I'm also jai hind

[@salmanshaikh2316]

Love from India 🇮🇳

[@MrCites1]

Please stay there and make India great !

[@IskDude980222]

Which gourami fish?

[@soalgamer894]

The simple blue ones

[@Nemosh99]

It’s really good to see a wholesaler be honest about their fish. Happy to see it. You are doing an amazing job, keep up the good work, you will do so well.

[@sal9842]

Man I really have to give you kudos because what you described took a lot of guts to do. A lot of people wouldn’t admit that and a lot of people wouldn’t say that on video. That’s why I like your channel that was truthful and that’s what happens with a lot of people but then again, a lot of people don’t do what you just did thank you for your honesty and I love your channel and I will always like it and watch it. Thank you so much and good luck with your store. I think you’ll do great.

[@jeffereyhopkins750]

I think you are making a correct decision able opening more to the public in your retail business. I am sure you will be very successful in this endeavor. The KZbin channel is a huge plus for this. It is a shame that I live in the United States or I would gladly buy from you 😢.

[@Its_Psilocybin]

Man I'm just getting into the hobby and I came across your channel after my girlfriend and I got some guppies. You have been ASTRONOMICALLY helpful, in fact you've been so helpful that I have added your store to my list of places to visit! (From the U.S.) I'm going to recommend anyone I come across to your channel. Good Luck and Keep on KeepingFishSimple! ❤

[@jameshunt4097]

I honestly think your on the right track with your thoughts/methods on quarantining. Ive noticed plants and fish travel in kind of the same way, it stresses them out. Its the same for us when we move houses/jobs/countries, theres always an acclimation process. Wish more fish shops would adopt this approach. Love your stuff as always bro,love from perth

[@ozlndkakalolihacku]

I received my Bug Buffet today and gave it to my fish, they love it. Like the way the pellets can be broken into various sizes to suit the fish being fed. Well done, thanks 👍🏻

[@grantbrotan1416]

Love the growth of your shop, its been awesome to see how far you've come

[@rimmakh7559]

Oh, my God, you're so young in this business and yet you know sooo much about every aspect and every single species! Thank you for sharing :) May this project be beneficial and forever bringing joy to you 👍👍👍

[@Shleeeemp]

Love the honesty. Great ‘business’ video- more please!

[@fernandogonzalez-fm1dq]

Dude, you made it, you fucking made it, I've been watching your videos since you had like 4 tanks at home.. yoooouuu fucking made it, I'm so happy and grateful to the lord for letting you live this journey.. I'm proud of you, I'm so proud, great job Nick. Cheers from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

[@KeepingFishSimple]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Heterogeneity]

Yes! Came here to say the same thing and give thanks for your forthright attitude along the whole way. Blessings from California!

[@timtrethan2557]

I'm moving over to heritage park in october from perth and can not wait to visit the store!!! the fact you make sure that the fish you get in are actually health and quarantined for a time before being sold is great, massive difference between the big pet stores right there...

[@giosasuman702]

Can you make a video about how it's like owning a fish store, how you started, and eventually opening up to the public. Also advice as far as business wise and requirements. I live in Las Vegas, and there's very little LFS here. The potential is huge here!

[@BigShrimpin416]

I’m in NJ and there’s no LFS in my area either. The ones that I know about are about an hour away. I wish I had a good LFS.

[@1Kent]

Traveling worked up an appetite for those fish.

[@dominicboulle8445]

That is awesome, I came in the other day for the first time and was surprised how small the room was, looked great though… will be awesome to see the full range!

[@eddiertorres9412]

Please do a video breeding the bumblebee betta! Lol

[@AlthosWTF]

If I ever happen to go to Australia, i will certainly stop by!

[@TheRealTMar]

Good fish shops around here in The Netherlands also quarantine their fish inside the shop. I think this also shows the customer the shop quarantines their new fish to try to guarantee quality and good health.

[@evita1643]

Do you have examples of stores that do that? I drive around the country to visit a lot of them, havent seen any that do so yet but would love to visit those

[@TheRealTMar]

@@evita1643 I frequently visit Diebo in Nieuwegein. They quarantine fish in their store.

[@johnnybest6386]

I been following u since day one and i like how u started in a tight space to open and aquarium...just wished u sell ur fishes to newyork city

[@connorsegren6066]

Bro i love your videos! Im from Seattle, WA and youve inspired me to get my own 20G long and start breeding beautiful guppies!

[@hydrocooledcarrot]

I bought some shrimp from Nick and I gotta say I was quite pleased with what arrived. 😊

[@fishbreedingkeptsimple.]

the best fish breeder

[@lorineilly6103]

Love your videos. Love that you interact with all of us. Good luck always. ❤

[@sharkingaround]

Hey mate! Met you on a plane back in January! Reaching out to say hello again. Keep up the great work, looking forward to what content you produce in the future :)

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Thanks bro!

[@Eve-the-witch]

Im 17 and my local fish store after a week of work experience offerd me a job in there wholsesale unit i was inspired by you and i just want to say thank you for your videos

[@juliuscaesar3346]

Commitment ,care and honesty your going to go far in the fish trade world , love your tanks I’d of liked to see more of your purchases in their tanks and boy those white ones are something else❤️💚👍🇬🇧

[@momolemarocain]

Hi i am New in this hobby your video’s help me allot And my dream is to have à shop just like yours 😊😅

[@Aiken47]

I love white tip ornates, they’re a big tetra and love schools of 20+ When he was alive, Takashi Amano would use them a lot.

[@forkore]

I had no idea you had opened a store! Congrats 🎉

[@jessicawalden]

I would love to have you speak at a aquarium meeting in the usa. Maybe Nashville TN. I aspire to have a rescue for all animals but a fish store as well.

[@despawnedstick9210]

Great video! Thank you! Keep it up❤

[@lowellron362]

Thank you for the great videos!

[@alexandreeciabrasil]

We captured ornamental fish in Brazil, congratulations on the video

[@markfranklin8831]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing

[@The_Ice427]

Hello! Really good video, as always. What pen are you using to write on your aquariums?

[@macksir8938]

Another amazing video Nick keep up the great work buddy

[@deseer1564]

It's a bummer it didn't work with your original model, but love to hear about how you've pivoted to more open retail days.

[@squamsh122]

Good luck man!

[@jonasdate7091]

Do what you feel is right, good job man❤

[@RVA_Aus]

You are living the dream nick!

[@nrledits4]

You are really motivating me to breed fish I'm am 11 and my dream is to breed fish like you.Also where do you get all your fish tanks from.❤❤❤

[@theawesomepython0693]

I love your videos and it would be awesome if someday on your website you were able to ship to the US because I would for sure buy your fish

[@xleojx]

great video as usual!

[@richardreynolds9896]

Another great video

[@AquariumFun-sy2jt]

Sounds like success to me... :)

[@MS-Aquatics]

Awesome

[@Ishan.patel.]

yay he got back from his trip

[@LiseGosselin57]

You are so awesome so you inspired me to get my own fish store you are goated bro😊

[@thewrxshop8213]

Please make all low meintence scapes for all the new shop tanks, simple but a little bit of a scape

[@jimmyhoracio9073]

Bro I'm literally doing this too love this I'm gonna follow your steps here in the USA hopefully in the future I'll get to colab with you

[@ironwolf9496]

KFS I love your videos I hope to be like you in the future also I love the guppy video so much❤❤❤❤

[@517reggie]

I have a 20 gallon just brought had a 6gallon should I put my 6gallon filter in the water to cycle the water or just let it sit

[@user-yh7qh5kf1s]

Im just getting started with my tanks. I have planaria in my tank and i was about to purchase the no planaria you had shown to get rid of it. Is it still ok to put it in a tank that has newly like 1 week old new hatched shrimp in it?

[@lynnrobertson4657]

❤the video

[@Shakodancer16]

The ornate tetras, they look like candy canes are they completely different and just white with white tips

[@danielrichardson6054]

8:04 you gloss over the best-looking beta for the "bumble bee" one.

[@Mbaku074]

In India we call lamp eye , red eye tetra and we have another fish called lamp eye tetra

[@davebdot6713]

I accidentally ordered a wild betta splendens female complex. Can breed her with my crowntail male or should i rather buy a different female

[@jpmo573]

Wish u shipped to the US

[@NYGOLD]

If you're still in the US try to get pea-puffers home with you on the plane. 🤑

[@sebumyebum]

Fantastic idea. Smuggle live animals into Australia. Apart from prison or being fined into poverty, whatever could go wrong? 😂

[@NYGOLD]

@@sebumyebum Yeah but think of all the views he would get. 😁😆😅

[@Heterogeneity]

Right? Great way to lose the ability to legally import anything ever. Post a video of you doing crimes for clicks 🙄 @@sebumyebum

[@armandvanzyl6325]

Sup man, I am a eastern cape beginner 90L aquarium keeper, I have got a few neon's, a bristlenose pleco, and three glow danios. I also have a 10gal tank that I want to keep shrimp in. I want to get your advise on what you think a good centerpiece fish would be for in my 90L community tank, as I am planning on moving my neon's and danios to my 10gal so that I can either keep harlequin's or dwarf rainbows in the 90L.

[@IPondHop]

I wanted to get some guppies off your website but sadly doesn’t ship to the us 😭

[@adso5555555]

Its a big pivot but I think it will pay off, heaps of times I've been to get my fish from your store, but I was after more 'regulation' breeds.

[@Cowbell_Catboy]

I still hope you arent neglecting your hobby as a breeder and keep on having fun with it been enjoying your stuff A LOT and would hate never seeing another betta breeding video again also: I wanna know what the juveniles look like before they get sold aye, especially if you have some real interesting parents xd

[@TheFishAddicted_Underwater]

Bro I love your videos

[@philcavallini9657]

Yeah ur prices are absolutely nuts in Australia! We pay a few dollars for a tetra. U guys charge the price of a discus for them lol

[@unsocialbutterfly5760]

I really want two hillstream loaches from you, but I’m in Victoria and I’m worried how they will go travelling. I haven’t been able to source any locally 😢

[@johnc.9]

Nice fish but whats that machine called at 8:18?

[@tankki1583]

Going to visit your shop soon but cant buy some fish 😔

[@judyallinson1281]

❤

[@hydrocooledcarrot]

It's been too long since I've been into a fish shop that looks as good as yours. All our LFSs have just one wall of tanks and they're full of the same old stuff 😢 Of course if you want a plant though there's a choice. Java fern, or elodea?

[@danaburdett7090]

Your videos are awesome! Why do you stay away from live bearers?

[@josepolanco1228]

Nice type of video. Who is the gentleman with you?

[@Archarapter]

I would buy fish from you but I live down in Victoria 😢

[@ChrisWaddell-go5xz]

I want sum shrimp

[@ChrisWaddell-go5xz]

Hi pal I watch your videos and I am willing to buy sum shrimp do you post to sheffield England

[@-AndrewR]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@jennynovoa8586]

I see you buying fish but the guys said they expensive, do you make profit when you resell them? 😮

[@gauravkumar3972]

From India 🇮🇳 ❤❤❤❤

[@MindfulGP]

What happened to the shimp cross breeding in the bins? Did I miss the 3 vid?😭😭

[@gracetucker9638]

I know neons are so basic. But they are just my favorite schools

[@martinhernandez4073]

I been trying to buy fish from u but doesn’t let me I’m from USA in California

[@andrewmiller3767]

Why just one week quarantine?? I understand you need to keep things moving for the business. But one week quarantine does absolutely no good

[@user-ib2cp9ts6i]

I always enjoy your videos but those bettas looked terrible some looked dead 😢

[@aaronarmstrongaa]

70 four foot tanks?????

[@footagemissing]

Mate more opening hours is great (also not great for my wallet).

[@jaywratten]

Planning to get down to your shop in the next couple weeks, can’t wait!

[@island_Dave_KeyWest]

“Everyone loses, well not everyone”… yeah, you lose, but they lose their job. lol

[@vasili1207]

music made it hard to hear had to use subtitles

[@Just_Jelis]

first love the content wanne be just like u

[@chrissiafaithsanz6781]

Are you earnings money .,??❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AndreLommerse-sf3ms]

Will you be getting a business phone number? Because the system you have with sending messages on your website is bad as you never get a reply back.

[@robertsalmon505]

Your girlfriend come and help you out and congratulations on how well your business is going, wish I lived near by so I could come and check it out.

[@dixsigns1717]

You, really-really need a distribution center in the center of the USA! Well, at least I can dream.

[@JunkyJr]

first w

[@Babyluthi]

Keeping betta's like that is ultra cruel..

[@Wampity]

Australian wholesalers quarantine fish for a minimum of 2 weeks (I say minimum because if they have loss or issues this time extends further), before being signed off by a government appointed quarantine officer with an actual protocol to follow strict guidelines to clear these fish to the market. It's great you're taking some extra time to let them settle, like most store's also do. But like alot of your videos, your bias you're casting to other stores and grandstanding is just sad mate. Grow up.
