Seriously there is no better feeling than watching people just light up and smile from ear to ear showing off there hobby/collection and talking about it. It’s so refreshing to just see good people enjoy our hobby as much as they do. This gentleman has a great collection and his joy is infectious! Great video.

[@FreshReef]

very true ;) I have the same feeling

[@maryglover8283]

😃✨

You really do find the most beautiful souls Nick. These tours emanate passion, nature and wisdom 🩵 calming. The world needs more of this. Thank you for what you do 🐟

[@erikm8372]

I Love being endlessly inspired for my own tank design, stocking, philosophy, etc.

[@lisasparkman2924]

It was such a beautiful video. I love that guy's relaxed Style and he's just got such an eye for beauty

[@DeanoSupremo1]

You best believe I did

[@suewestby824]

me too. Love his style ❤

[@MelodieRose727]

Loved it. ❤

[@erikm8372]

6:02 by the way, the common name is ’arrowhead plant’ or ‘arrowhead vine’, better known as _Syngonium podophyllum_ - I think that one shown is the most common cultivar ‘White Butterfly’

[@sal9842]

You can tell this guy has a big heart he sounds like a very, very sweet man. I bet he took great care of his kids . having depression, myself, and taking care of Shrimp seems so much more rewarding when they breed which I’ve become obsessed with for some odd reason. This is a very wonderful nice relaxing video. Great job keep it up. I love your video.

[@bigbad8979]

Tony is a absolute legend! We both ordered fish from Melbourne but I got stuck at work due to a covid lock down. Tony looked after mine until I could make it back there to pick them up. Didn't ask for anything in return although I did offer to pay him. Thanks again Tony if you happen to read this 🙂

[@slamboy66]

Camera person did a great job keeping the Bug Buffet in frame.

I want some but I live in the US (Tennessee)

[@garageaquatics2023]

Well thank Tony for allowing us to visit his fish room! What an awesome experience. He's the kind of guy I'd love to have as a neighbor. Thanks Nick. Thanks Harlan.

[@mondraymondo]

that row of mini betta aquariums is adorableee

[@pushkatu]

Amazing tour!! Cheers and beers from Romania!!🇷🇴 ❤ 🇦🇺

[@rgilroy1909]

I know it's only an American holiday, but Happy Thanksgiving from Massachusetts, USA. This was great to watch during my aquarium maintenance today. even inspired me to tear down and restart my neglected 15 gallon tank. I'm thankful for what you bring to the the world.

[@rockyandmiles9889]

Happy Thanksgiving from RI 😊

[@justinstuart8382]

What an amazingly knowledgeable and modest fish keeper. That room is unreal mate! I can't even imagine the know-how he must have. Sorry to hear about his best mate that really sucks. 😢

[@ironlion45]

This guy is so genuine and open an down-to-earth about his collection, I really love that.

[@68046Matt]

He's really enjoying the man cave fishroom. Love the plants

[@MrMartismo]

This is a really beautifully told story. Great editing.

[@MushroomKingdom722]

I play these videos while I'm working out or relaxing! 😎

[@bluepanther3043]

Hello person watching rn!

[@gustavogarcia1948]

Not 100% sure, but I believe that plant is hygrophila corymbosa or another type of hygrophila.

[@jameshourigan]

That plant you guys really liked is Hygrophila corymbosa, grows super easy and really quickly. Easier then any stems I've kept even

[@benc3214]

My first thought was a Hygrophila also i have sunset and it looks almost identical minus the pink hue's but i didnt see it from the top so could have had a bit of colour also.

[@mmoolloo]

Yes. With moderate light (like here), they etiolate and lose their lower leaves, looking like little palm trees. With higher lighting, the internodes get shorter and try he leaves are denser. They look like little amazon swords.

[@Lyvvie]

I saw them and thought Blue Stricta but scanned through the comments to see what others would suggest - thanks for the Latin name for Blue Stricta!

[@afifahzulkefli2647]

Oh i thought that was the polysperma as corymbosa has slightly larger leaves. But i might be wrong.

[@myoutdoorlifewithwayne4213]

45 years years is crazy good for him.

[@miniscenesgb]

You ask great open questions. Good interview technique

[@vichu2160]

7:59 Hygrophila Corymbosa one of the easiest stem plant to grow without co2 injection and my first successful stem plant in planted tank hobby!

[@DeciduousSnurb]

Was hoping someone knew the name in the comments, thanks 👍

[@BradK02]

Love the long videos, can not get enough. I enjoy watching what the old timers are doing. Great video.

[@raeofsunshine369]

I absolutely LOVE the people you interview!

[@mattkinsella9856]

Totally not fish related but wanted to say it's nice to see you guys in the southern hemisphere in your shorts clearly enjoying the start of your summer just as I woke up today with our first light frost of the year. Keep up the great work, this was a really awesome tour, a really nice setup all-round.

[@kurtbrutting5118]

Absolutely Beautiful Fish Room! Great tour, stunning!

[@scrubjay93]

Beautiful! I love that he both selectively breeds for better fish AND has such compassion for fish that he lovingly cares for those that are less than perfect. Single-species tanks are some of my favorites too. My Emperor Tetras raised young in a 100-gallon stock pond I had in a Berkeley California apartment decades ago - a blackwater pond with a pair of adult Uarus, hatchetfish, pencilfish, lemon tetras, and other fish. I was amazed when I first found baby lemon and emperor tetras in the pond. So fun. Could hang out there all day with him and never get bored.💙

[@Kyddoemiko13]

Amazing very compassionate man who. Is dedicated to the art of raising fish .

[@user-tv4si1ts3e]

The plant you pointed I think is a hygrophilla polysperma green

[@TheTrompetenpeter]

It could also be a Hygrophila Corymbosa/siamensis type. The polysperma-specie has a thinner stem.

[@carolinemusic100]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video from start to end. What a lovely, interesting and unassuming gentleman; a credit to the hobby. Bless you. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@Aquafinity]

Another wonderful video Nick! This tour was phenomenal! 👏

[@AguabonitaAquatics]

Great tour. Tony has a unique style of aquascaping that must be influenced by his landscaping work; it's very rock forward as apposed to a plant/driftwood focus. His choice of plants compliments the rockwork very well. It has a real Australian essence to it... watch out for Aussie style in the next IAPLC!

[@andyacosta151]

LOVE these tours man!

[@dangray]

Your videos always bring a smile to my face.

[@chelmsford6774]

I Love Tony's journey and passion. What a great video.

[@tshot2862]

Another awesome video! Love the long fish room tours. So well edited also. Keep it up dude! 🤙

[@RanchoRelaxoColombia]

"Bug Bufett. Its the best thing anybody has ever made."😁 Awesome tanks!

[@LorraineDennison1960]

Loved the tour. Makes me feel a little sad though, as I don't have any tanks now. I had to sell them when I moved 4 years ago. Being in Tasmania we are very limited as to what we can have down here. No shrimp (which are my all time favourite) very limited plants as well.

[@keyurdhungana318]

plant at 8:03 is called kirschenblatt in german markets.

[@CecilHotel-fq2os]

Love how clean you keep them. I keep seeing fish rooms with disgusting tanks.

[@FishEZ]

Thanks Nick for another great tour / visit to a fishroom I would not be able to visit in my lifetime. The tanks and beauty in his setups are just gorgeous! Thank you so much.

[@andrewdark3126]

Great to see True Scalare Angels ! Hard to find these days.

[@treysimmons2179]

Another great tour! Such good vibes. Is Aus just full of hobbyists? It seems like there are way less people this into it in the states.

[@omarbakir3423]

The aquarium at 59:42 is just great. Why does he keep plant pots in the aquarium, what is in the pots, soil? The angle fish at 38:07 are Rio Negro locality, not Rio Nanay.

[@Carmen-jo2zk]

Another great and entertaining video. Can't wait until you come back here too. 👍❤️

[@boon240]

Love the top tank on the right behind him in the beginning.

[@kurtbrutting5118]

I gotta say 1 more thing ~ this video is the kind of story in the hobby that gives me inspiration. Bravo Gents!

[@davidlawrence3560]

I love his story, thanks for this!

[@misanthropic_8938]

I love watching these videos! You can tell you’re both so incredibly passionate about the hobby, it’s so nice to see! I was thinking when you’re doing some of these showings maybe you should have the fish type on the screen, where is comes from, natural habitat,water parameters ect. Just for people like me who have never heard of some of the species before and can do some research from there.

[@deheega1566]

Great tour. Love your videos and all the lovely people you visit. Thank you for producing great stuff mate.

[@judeebaysinger5920]

I watched all the way. Loved it! So much information!

[@lpoolck17]

Love his enthusiasm! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@Outside-InAquatics]

Love your videos man so chill. ✌️

[@LetecStrelecJezdec]

Great tour, big thumb up for both of you guys, thanks!!

[@james.macca23]

The apistogramma panduro are such an amazing looking fish. Definitely just made my wishlist.

[@mandyliu246]

Thanks for always uploading quality content!

[@icanseeyouallfromuphere]

Cory's try a bigger tank with nooks and cranny's you should get a few survivors each time which could be deemed a natural reproduction in the size of the aquarium, they're stream fish that shoul in small groups so if theyre too compact and everything accessible in a restricted area they would just naturally eat the eggs and or the eggs get damaged where they scurry around

[@katzolicious]

great video. So much passion. Love these tours with peoples home hobbies. Keep them coming. Great work.

[@Norbulius]

Nice! Over 1 hour to watch and hear! ;) Thank you for another great material!

[@rmh8154]

Absolutely beautiful! Loved this video. Makes me want to go another tank! Keep up the great work!

[@denisgoulding4004]

brilliant tour, more of a chat between friends .. very enjoyable

[@zabaawy]

Great interview 👍Tanks.

[@FreshReef]

I've seen a couple of your videos already and now I've subscribed. I like your videos, I like your enthusiasm. It's very refreshing. Keep going with these long videos, they have a cool vibe.

[@plowestory]

Outstanding - so many cool fish and set ups.

[@thebugwood]

My corydoras lay a lot of eggs too and TWO BABIES made it! Lots of hiding spots is key.

[@BradK02]

I can watch another hour. So many awesome setups.

[@olesyasergeeva8642]

Breathtaking! Thank you guys!

[@DiscusRussell]

I enjoyed this Video . Thanks for posting it

[@williamherzfeld5883]

Really love your videos brother man. It’s nice that they’re longer too. Gives me something to watch as I take care of my fish, frogs, and lizards. You gotta get that bug buffet to the U.S. , I’d love to try some out!

[@deo4205]

INCREDIBLY inspiring, i cant wait to grow the hobby for myself. And good luck to everyone else out there❤

[@allanewart3192]

Great video, one that can be rewatched numerous times. My baby endlers are smashing the bug buffet and growing so quickly 👍 Id love to see a video on how he set up these wine barrel ponds at the end as they look awesome 👌

[@australianbiotopes4563]

Awesome video Nick! Tony is such a nice bloke, his story sounds a bit like mine with the break when the kids were growing up, and he's a fellow landscaper, I enjoyed this whole video, he also has the same taste in fish as me and loves his botanicals, I'm really happy I got to meet him his enthusiasm is unbelievable.

[@KrishnaCorinaldesi]

Love these vids mate!

[@its_elser]

its such a great hobby, i love seeing Tonys enjoyment from his amazing set up. Its good to see someone not just trying to be greedy or gatekeeper-ish also. I love his sword tails, when i was a kid i used to catch them down the creek at ashgrove. his swordtails made me want to set up a sword tank, but i can only one have one tank and chose to keep microdevario kubotai.

[@KnorrAquatics]

Hello KFS I’ve been a fan for years and I can’t express how much I appreciate your content. Keep it up, you’re a legend bro!🤙🇺🇸

[@Cyberarm1]

Greetings from Denmark, such nice and calm relaxed video. Watch the whole thing, keep em coming mate.

[@benc3214]

Love these tours always so fascinating, when i saw your son was Toby i recalled seeing the story on the news of your work accident. Glad you have recovered Tony and back doing what you love doing, no wonder you love your footy.

[@hamzabutt2010]

Love each moment of this video. God bless you. Dont have words to express. Simply wonderful.

[@michaelfarmer537]

What an amazing fish room and great video! That collection of fish seem very healthy happy and loved! I’ve just started in the hobby and am using the Father Fish method using a dirt substrate and so far so good. Much love and respect to both in the video! ❤🇺🇸

[@maryglover8283]

Loved this!🩷

[@taintedmeat9740]

One of the best fish rooms around !

[@balla2172]

Awesome to see fishkeepers give fish to other keepers uf they can't get them to breed.. just awesome I just want a nice colony if guppies

[@jamesetal7088]

I started in 1969 with a zebra danio in a bowl from Sears. Later, my sisters bought me a Metaframe 5 1/2 gallon tank with a slate bottom. They paid for it with S&H Greenstamps. I have had fish ever since.

[@Pembalap]

Hi Nick, awesome video, thank you again for it. It is soooo enjoyable to watch, not just watching it till the end, but also repeated some clips. Tony's tanks are awesome, could you do some more reviews with him, how he keeps his tanks spotless. Seems lile algaeless. What kind of filtration, fertilizer, name of the plants, lighting, etc. Look forward to watching this

[@andyolsen1462]

Beautiful Rio Nanay Angelfish!🐠

[@judyallinson1281]

Love this type of content ❤

[@gabeoleinik4435]

That terrestrial plant with the finger like leaves is thaumatophyllum spruceanum, formerly known as philodendron goeldii

[@phils6582]

Cool guy, and a cool fish room. I didn't think I'd watch the full hour, but it flew past!

[@Pembalap]

This is enjoyable video. If I may share, as I breed anglefish for hobby. We can take the eggs after 24-36 hours, put them into container add methylene blue, light aeration. This gives more chance for the fries to survive. Most of the parents eat their fries unfortunately

[@annecharm7022]

I love your videos❤ been watching them recently..

[@ginadelgado5518]

Wow there all beautiful love it all,tanks, fish, and plants ❣️

[@netandjer7024]

great tour! beautiful tanks!

[@mgrootjans7051]

The corydoras you called schwartzi was actualy corydoras melanistius or brevirostris. One of my favourites and prety rare too.

[@davidmoore9812]

Mate just awesome, absolutely love these videos... :)

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

Lovely set up, hope Tony’s is well after his accident. I’m sure it’s good therapy for him tending to his lovely home.

[@TheBSideDJ]

it s gymnogeophagus steindachnerei... Uruguay. They like colder seasons, like all gymnogeopghagus.

[@savieramsamooj7052]

Hello from Guyana 🇬🇾 love watching your videos

[@azntactical4884]

The Spotted Blue Eyes (white version) is super nice. I do small batches of breeding with mine. Started with a pair and now I have about a dozen. My lfs has the gold version, but they are not as nice as the white ones. I actually brought 14 of them into my lfs for store credit. Shortly after I left, someone came in and bought 8 pairs. Mine isn't pure white like the ones in the video. Mine has a small gold tip at the bottom tail.

[@Budvb]

Amazing! Very nice! glad I have subscribed to this channel.

[@lisasparkman2924]

This is an awesome Channel. You should go watch some of the older stuff also

[@MaseBoogie]

Just ordered the Bug Buffet all the way in Kentucky, can’t wait to try it out!
