DUBAI EXOTIC FISH STORE TOUR!

[@AnonAtry]

So glad you call out unethical things within the shop. For the most part it looks like they take great care of the tanks and fish look healthy. With those fancy goldfish they've been bred in ways that make them so prone to disease and illness, I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy those even if they may look 'cool'

[@JonVlogs123]

Yup 😎👍

[@OscarLewisFilms]

Same goes for most aquarium fish in the trade, bettas, flowerhorns, any balloon variety if fish, glo fish. The list is endless

[@AnonAtry]

@@OscarLewisFilms Sad reality of it. A lot of these shops rely on casuals that don't know any better and will go for the weirdest, most colorful fish they can see.

[@jamiej.5680]

Especially in DUBI boy got guts💀

[@shahrukhkhan8307]

flowerhorns are unethical too but all hobbyists tend to ignore that for some reason lol

[@doodhpilo]

You are a gem of a person. Those Bettas def. seem neglected. You pointing it out made waves in the fish loving community. Kudos to you buddy!

[@lohkistilo]

TRUTH

[@Persivefire]

The old version of this aquarium was basically my childhood. I used to hang out there (or at least tried to) while my parents went shopping at the store nearby. The turtles were my favourite, but the variety kept me there. Nice to see some coverage

[@cowzplay3046]

I love how you called out the water in those cups was so little. I dont think because their are new betta fish coming they should neglect the old ones.

[@sui-generis]

Looked like due to the cups being sat on top of the heat from the led light causing quicker evaporation - either way not good for the betta fish

[@vivienleigh4640]

Yeah, that was really disturbing. The answer "New ones are coming" .. and? They seem to have plenty of water in the store. The cups are too small too. What's wrong with people?!😡

[@georginaserrano0304]

@@vivienleigh4640 Al mundo siempre vienen nuevos seres humanos y a las personas mayores no las matan ¿o si? Lo siento por mi comparación pero es realmente estúpido lo que el tipo dijo acerca de los peces betta. Pobres peces...

[@amandadyk3374]

Its frigged up

[@Christophhanderson]

@@vivienleigh4640 fr honestly it takes less than half a second to put some water or even dechlorinate some

[@caitlinsophia20]

Definitely an interesting shop but it looks like they do a pretty good job, for the most part anyway. Room for improvement but they definitely do a lot better then I ever could.

[@JonVlogs123]

😄👍

[@jamie_mask_west]

There’s always gonna be room for improvement because these are not personal aquariums for pets, they’re aquariums they’re keeping fish in to sell

[@lokeyacolyte2145]

I truly respect your concern for the fish's quality of life, and I can only imagine how difficult it would be to call out unethical practices while 'on set'. In the moment, with the employees right there. You did well. The stock range is great but the choices being made here? Are not going to encourage appropriate and responsible aquarist behaviour. So pleased to see one of my fave KZbinrs, who actually got me into reefing, doing the right thing.

[@JordanWilson2209]

came here to say the same thing, very glad he did

[@jamie_mask_west]

There’s nothing to call out. It’s a fish store. They are not going to treat these fish like pets And so what you would do for them at home because the fish are not their pets, they are their product. I don’t like the conditions dogs are kept in at dog shelters, but none of those dogs are there to stay and therefore the living conditions aren’t set up for pet dogs

[@beneadesmtb]

Poor betta, very unethical and as a betta owner myself, it breaks my heart to see them in such small amounts of water.

[@Fierag]

He was saying they just came in. I think they were just un bagged and getting ready to be put into their holding tanks.

[@okok-eg1op]

oooh look at me, im so disappointed oooh

[@Khaloofidino]

All fish stores put bettas in cups it’s common knowledge really, but you can give bettas a better life

[@mspears_bobobuddytheseniorcat]

This was the most beautiful fish store I’ve ever seen! I’m so glad you asked about the poor Betta’s in such little water and told them not to carry the paint injected fish! 🐟🐠🐡🌹💙

[@macpinto9382]

Idk how I chanced on this channel, but I live literally 5 minutes away from this shopping centre, KM Trading, and I've seen this store sooooo many times when grocery shopping with the fam. Never gave it a second thought. Really cool to know what they've got in there.

[@mikahlaboldea192]

Thank you! You did a great job at understanding the challenges of selling fish but also knowing where change can happen to help this hobby thrive ethically.

[@Jd66697]

Man I just want to let you know that I loved that you told them about the fish injected with paint, Its important to educate people. Thank you!

[@CannibalChxrry]

I love when he asked the guy to accept his rose how the guy grinned. It was cute.

[@MKSouthernStar]

This video literally had me laughing out loud. I would have gone nuts in this store as well! And the rose ceremony cracked me up. Thanks for the laughs and visual delights. Hi from Australia 🇦🇺💚💛

[@MiddletoM]

The last time I watched one of your videos it was close to you celebrating 10,000 subscribers! You've come so far, 1.2 million subscribers now! Crazy! I rewatched a couple of the videos and it makes me miss this hobby. I still have my 5ft tank but its been sat empty for years now. Anyway, your hard work over the years has clearly paid off. Congratulations!

[@redcorsair14]

Hehe I spent 9 months over there. Except for maybe the high end stores, you wont find a Dubai citizen working in a store. You might find a high up manager but not a worker bee. I loved THE Dubai mall and its aquarium. Only place I have been where you can spend time looking at the aquarium, go to PF Changs(their version of a mall McDonalds) next to it and go across the hall and randomly come across a dark room with a full size dinosaur skeleton. And then there is the water show and Berge Khalifa just outside. Neat video, it brough me back a couple years

[@nasound42]

Love that you called them out and balanced the critique so it was clearly serious but not too aggressive. Hopefully they will take it to heart

[@666gato]

Overall seemed like they take better care of the fish then most stores I've been to in the us .

[@rhoanjcepe2029]

ive been here for 6 years and i didnt know this shop exists, looking at the planted tanks in your video made me drool. I only knew the fish shops in karama but they were relatively small and the small planted tank are treated less than the ones in this shop. and i work nearby KM trading too, so ill drop by and assemble a nano tank soon

[@ruinedcraft4830]

Incredible store. Thank you for the tour: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XSi4Crp7CEgKM

[@cryptodude9482]

OMG! I can't believe how lucky I am to be just around this fish shop. I bought all my fish and fish keeping supplies here. I didn't realize how exotic those other fishes are. More to learn for a beginner to the hobby. 🧐

[@mavle4861]

If you identified that this store is exotic to you, I'd recommend you travelling to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I promise you that "exotic" is just the least fancy word you would use to describe how diverse they are ^^

[@paulskillman7595]

As I understand it, the Arowana is a very ancient fish. They can be found both in Africa and the Amazon basin of So. America. The long ones are from the Amazon river and the short ones are from somewhere else. I lived in England for a while and there was a shop called Shelly Aquatics. I wonder if they are still in business. Their prices were high but their fish are excellent. (not was). Maybe they are still there.

[@abdullahalhadad7374]

My Favourite Exotic Shop..

[@JoshThrives]

Fresh water scrubs unite ✊

[@thinkinsidetheboxsquarecir3303]

He didn't answer your question...but you caught that anyway. Good shyt asking wassup with the beta fish!💯

[@popejayco]

That arowana is an HBRTG (a crossbread between a crossback and the classic RTG arowanas). It's amazing how much it costs in other countries as it is really cheap in SE Asia (less than 200USD). Their price of 500USD is already the cost of a Super Red Arowana which is one of most beautiful if not the most sought after arowanas. Greetings from the Philippines. :)

[@aquabazildesign]

Nah bro you gotta appreciate the freshwater tank aquascapes that they got going on in there. Its absolutely STUNNING

[@greatpotato2429]

Im from kuwait and im glad that youve been in some arabs countries ❤️ If you want to explore more from other neighbouring in the middle east, carefull because few people (arabs) dont want to be on videos specially ladies. There is a great pet store here in kuwait. Tc

[@richardwaldhouse8067]

Most amazing exotic fish & flower... store I have seen so far in 60 years of my life!

[@Luciusgladstan]

Preuss pets Lansing Michigan is #1 most interesting fish store they have a crazy saltwater section as well as freshwater

[@naclcreep2505]

That is actually a really cool, and well rounded store. I expected to walk into the run of the mill LFS, but I was wrong. It’s much more than that to say the least. All kinds of animals.

I chuckled every time you admired a guppy. I have them in with my piranhas and that get eaten daily, many of them have the cool decorative tails.

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

The Cichlid you mistakend for a Flowerhorn Hybrid is a Jewel Cichlid. Very aggressive. That is a cool store. Thankyou very much for sharing. Take care Sir. 👍🙂❤

[@dyrdek]

i bred them for years, they are extremely territorial and when breeding will chase anything near it for the lenght of a 6ft aquarium

[@AA-zv6yo]

Yeah, like a 4 dollar fish. Breeds like crazy. Not the greatest of cichlids. Lol

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

@@AA-zv6yo Porca la miseria. It is cheaper where you are. Here in the U.K. it is the equivalent of 7-8 dollars.

[@pilotboy217]

The fish I feel the most bad for are the beta fish. They are usually tossed aside in cup and left to die until the next batch comes in...

[@fuffoon]

Poisson D'or in Belgium is the largest aquarium store I have ever visited. Its almost a Home Depot sized fish store. They don't get much internet publicity but its OK because the parking lot is on overflow every weekend. Folks will drive a thousand kilometers for shopping there.
