[@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

[@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 😀😀❤️

[@ramyawatson8297]

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...

[@17john23]

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

[@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

[@natexlb123]

I could kill a whole evening watching Dean videos.

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@MisterCaution]

What kind of salt water tank are you going for?

[@shesellsfish]

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

[@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!

[@tracymoor1084]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@tashritchie3832]

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

[@saadmaanshahrier]

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

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@Shelzbells]

Really enjoyed this. Thanks for all your expertise Dean.

[@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.

[@ryansib8661]

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

[@MrsBJPalmer]

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

[@gromboul7198]

Thank you for doing these. I love listening to Dean

[@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!

[@nathanielm.6275]

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

[@Afi_18]

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

[@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

[@AJBAdventures]

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

[@MyceliumMan_]

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

[@abshoelace]

Love this format. More of these, please.

[@Rich_ard]

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

[@sonoinpace]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@mlrausch7708]

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

[@pauloalves4337]

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

[@Loveofpets]

[@carldozer]

[@pungr]

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, very helpful.

[@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!

[@Sarah-xd5cq]

Its funny how all angels stand on the front and Look at dean🤣🤣🤣

[@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?

[@fishclown490]

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

[@rayquatics23]

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

[@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.

[@dougkidd4799]

Dean is a great teacher. Thank you
