[@thekingofdiy]

I did it again!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bISwoWWaoramY7c

[@Givinggoombas]

That camera spin near the beginning was so smooth

[@jakiocarroll8609]

I don't use KZbin much, but do occasionally binge watch your videos. I saw tonight's title after searching for some song and knew I had to watch and I'm sorry I did. I'm sooooo sorry for your loss of Buddy. I've literally just watched nearly two hours worth of your vids to end up in tears. I've watched you move him from one tank to another, I've watched you introduce friends for him and then remove them because he was grumpy and now I've watched your heart break with his loss. And what a big loss it is but what a great life you gave him. I'll continue to binge watch every so often but it just won't be the same, he was an amazing fish. And you're amazing at what you do! Be strong x

[@Capt1vatingDreams]

So far all of your videos remind me of a kid in a candy store with how excited you get about your fish and it's so fun to watch your videos, seeing you enjoying the hobby, it's awesome to watch all while learning at the same time. Simply the best!

[@carroll5150]

By far and away my favorite thing to watch on KZbin. I started raising fish with my grandmother in 1970 when I was in kindergarten and have been hooked ever since. You are truly an inspiration to the hobby and I absolutely love your diversification. I know that you like single species tanks but I would love to see a couple of community tanks. Just my 2 cents worth of opinion. Oh' and a shout out to the most awesome wife any fish nerd could ever have, I have never seen her but I am sure she is as beautiful as she is as understanding of your passion. God bless her and her patience.

[@RyoWatanabee]

I love how the tank is reserved for Joey :)

[@tryingtokillu69]

Haha, i like how the tank says "we are sold to Joey."

[@ohdearinpubs417]

My life has come to refreshing joeys channel for a new video every two days for hours on end

[@thekingofdiy]

haha sorry. KZbin was giving me problems for the past few hours

[@ohdearinpubs417]

The king of DIY No problem! These vids are the highlight of my day. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Tom-pe3ur]

The king of DIY why is the title in German

[@nataliebormann8961]

Tomboy : P it's not?

[@Tom-pe3ur]

QueenGame it is

[@MrFkoller]

Glad to hear that you're gonna keep uaru, returning to your roots. And also that you're keeping them in more of a community type set-up. Please do make us happy and choose some plecos and coys according to your experience with uaru, It would be amazing to see one of the bigger types of cichlid housed in a properly thought out community tank. good luck with the fish! Also, would Asian arrowana work with a shoal of piranhas? I think it would be amazing and so cool to watch them feed :D

[@RyoWatanabee]

Can't wait for the Uaru tank uarujoey :)

[@robynmacfie2417]

I always wondered where the Uaru came from. 🤔

[@Scojopo23]

I HAD TWO FISH NAMES TOM AND JERRY, AND JERRY ATE TOM!!! Such a throwback to my 5 year old fish keeping life.

[@Kitaquatics]

haha that's great

[@unicorns1584]

Love seeing you getting these uaru after wanting them for so long , finally got a parrot cichlid after it being a dream fish of mine so I completely understand your excitement, so happy for you !!

[@willparsons32]

I'm astonished with this guy... The commitment and compassion he shows towards the hobby is incredible! He's an inspiration to many who keep fish and are getting into the hobby. 1f2f has got to be one of the best well kept fish hobby stores I've ever seen. Can't wait to go see this place myself! :)

[@pranavharri244]

Joey: (stops and looks at flowerhorn) he's cute Joey: Frank's better 😂😂😂😂

[@catzybluphish1058]

Pranav Harripersadh 😂😂😂WHO DID DIS😂😂😂

[@dragon6irl]

I'm so happy you got a bichir! They're one of my goals once I have room for a longer tank.

[@elif4412]

'Frank's better'😂😂😂

[@jonathanvigil5928]

Your the reason I started taking care of fish, still very new to the hobby but watching your videos makes me very excited to keep trying new things so I would like to say thank you 👍🏽

[@Jackson22379]

Hell ya Frank's better

[@JoeARedHawk275]

name less Laughed at that, just looked at the fish and said “Frank’s better” 😂😂

[@Dragonflail]

name less Damn right !

[@frankbolstad7339]

I approve of this message :)

[@Vrussk]

Yay Bichir, my favorite! Growing up I had a small one (6-7") I used to feed it woodlice from my yard, it was always so cool watching him smell them and hunt them down as they crawled around the tank.

[@daemonember]

Joey you need the panda crossback

[@nicchauvin1096]

I'd love to see a full tour of that shop. It looks incredible!

[@Kitaquatics]

He's made a couple store toursof that shop

[@rill9000]

I went to my lfs a yesterday to buy a fish and came home with a baby tarantula...

[@hokkaidospring]

[@MizzzKitty]

AskRiley, out should check this guy out!... Seriously by far, one of my fav youtubers😊, if you like tarantulas that is.😉

[@coyotelady6132]

YES BUY THEM ALL!!!! I love your dedication and all thought you put into what you do.

[@fluffykitty8842]

Am getting excited over here as if I am the one who's getting the fish Ive waited 10 years for😂😂

[@lukepotter9416]

fluffy kitty you arent the only one😂

[@harrietread5112]

fluffy kitty me.

[@PtitBebelapinoublanc]

fluffy kitty ditto. we get to have all these gorgeous fish vicariously through him😊

[@kesterjoseph1392]

fluffy kitty lol I know right

[@traxxasrules7178]

I wonder what his electric bill is like

[@aidangarcia9976]

I wonder if fish at one fish two fish know of the king of DIY and how if he buys you, you pretty much get the best life a aquarium fish can have.

[@TheCobruhAlienat0r]

They know each other, the owner and Joey have been in videos before.

[@CoKaNee]

TheCobruhAlienat0r he meant fish, not the owner. Like if fish knows that if Joey pick them up they will have the best life

[@haydenwolf4424]

"Frank's better" A little biased but true ;)

[@williamcowley2153]

OfShadowsHidden no it's not biased it true 😉 😨

[@LusioEcarts]

Biased cuz that FlowerHorn didnt look bad either :D (at least as for looks)

[@IndecisionSP]

I'm so happy you got a bichir

[@robfigueroa5457]

It's awesome to see you keeping uaru again, the reason I have two uaru in my tank is because of a video you made that introduced me to them! I'll have to admit, they took me forever to finally find! My shops kept saying they hadn't seen them in the hobby in years. I also have an ornate bichir that's right at one foot long so great choice with that one too!

[@freddyschulp3766]

Joey get some clown loaches, they come from the same areas of Borneo as you red arowana!

[@XxXMidnightblackXxX]

The problem with that would be finding ones big enough that they would not be eaten by the Arowana or the rays.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Looking forward to seeing them as they grow.

[@matthewguilfoyle7854]

Last time I was this early joey had discus lol

[@thekingofdiy]

......wait for it

[@edwincheung3561]

[@jorisvd37]

Joey probably get discus in the tank above te uaru bc they have the same water quality

[@creepyhobo1015]

[@ketchupketchup6646]

The king of DIY Hi Joey

[@BT-wh7te]

The king of DIY I typed in the snake skin on Google and it pulled up 1 fish 2 fish right away. They're getting big and I'm sure it's all thanks to you. Hopefully he's hooking you up since you're getting his name out there and the fish are for the gallery. Keep up the good work

[@zsummers6598]

About a year ago I stumbled across a juvenile set of Uaru and decided to get them after watching your videos! Loving the pair and they are starting to transition to their adult coloration. Glad to know you'll have videos of Uaru in the future! Thanks for the recommendation, happy to see you'll have your namesake back!

[@jamesjohnstone555]

this is the high light of my day lol can i ask will a jardini get on withother fish joey

[@thekingofdiy]

They can... but are the most aggressive of all arowana in my experience.

[@salmanhasan6742]

The king of DIY do u like Oscar fish

[@mitchelll899]

james johnstone my jardinian arrowanna was a brutal savage on other fish. Even when he was 5" he tried to massacre my Oscars that were full grown through the glass. Only jardinian arrowanna companion is a spiny giant pleco. That way it's a mouth of quils and a fish that loves heavy water flow to an extreme like arrowanna usually do

[@jamesjohnstone555]

JPs just thati have seen other pepoledo it and a lot have said the same as you butsome say every fish is diffrent iwas going to put one of they biecher sorry about spelling the one joey got the on this vid

[@spiderguy4978]

Super excited you got a Bichir, I've wanted a P. delhezi for a long time. Also interested to see what you decide to keep with the Uaru.

[@despondent3777]

I just smile when I get a notification he uploaded

[@blankaccount1354]

Can not wait for the fabulous fish to hit the gallery! You're awesome Joey! Thanks for sharing your love for the hobby & fish with the world!

[@RoxMeisterAK]

It's like watching a kid in a candy store.

[@shawnjohnston2057]

Joey you are awesome you have helped me expand my hobby. I am by no means an expert aquarist. I do keep Bichirs and must warn you that your beautiful sting rays will likely drown you new Bichir. As he is an upper jaw Bichir so he won't be eating the rays like a Nile Bichir or and endelcheri will. I'm sure you know this already but as I am a Bichir guy I had to warn you. Thanks for everything you have done for the hobby.

[@tarponthedrawingfisherman7717]

Get the bichir!

[@amaanusmani6839]

He did

[@ttsupra87]

your passion for fish is amazing man. I love it. fish aren't my thing but love seeing them make you so happy

[@Cdunham2978]

Need help! We had a house fire and we lost our saltwater tank. The new house, I would like to have a reef tank recessed in the wall. The back of the tank will be in a separate room dedicated to maintenance, lighting and sump. Water and drain as well. Any advice on building this setup for a 180 gallon tank? Flush with the wall or set in with molding? So confused.

[@prestonradford6819]

Cdunham2978 Not Sure, but Reddit always answers my questions

[@lisat9707]

Take a look at his older videos I am sure he has build info there on his wall tank. If you were to frame tell wall like there is a window going in and have the bottom wall frame built as if it was a fish tank stand then with that you be able to almost flush mount it to the wall and that's what I would do because it easier to see it from a distance when walking along the wall. plus no ledge to dust or be tempted to clutter with decorations or drinks.

[@dewitter323]

Look back for his videos on when he did his wall tank

[@fantasiesbyjuls]

"Isn't he cute?" *flowerhorn moves away* "Frank's better" Frank loves you, that's why.

[@weneedmovies]

When you're exited I'm excited! Keep doing what you love to do!

[@DrakeDragonheart]

Kudos on the Ornatipinnis! Polypterus are definitely hands down my favorite fish along with gar.

[@southernaquaman7391]

Hey friend just a suggestion, It would be kinda cool if you could throw up a quick pic of the fish you name off in your videos like you did with the uaru. I love your vids and a lot of times just seeing a picture or quick video is how I sometimes choose the next fish I would like to purchase. Anyway, keep up the great vids bro!

[@ChrisKaos13]

That bichir probably came from my warehouse in Montreal! I'm looking forward to seeing it go into your tanks.

[@ketchupketchup6646]

Hell yeah.. Frank's better

[@maxglen1906]

Who else agrees he should get piranhas

[@Tango374]

Thanks for the new vid and nice pick up with the Uaru. Hope you get a good long time with Joey. In this video you mentioned your first aquarium fish were Piranha. I've been keeping different species of Piranha for a long time and I'm wondering if you've ever seen in person a Serrasalmus Geryi? A Serrasalmus Manueli? Or a "Diamond" varient of Serrasalmus Rhombeus? And I am trying to throw ideas to you for one of the 120's. Keep in mind that these can be very big piranha. But at the same time, unlike Pygocentrus piranha, it's extremely difficult to grow a Serrasalmus past 11" for some reason in the aquarium.

Hi Joey, Have you thought about putting some Kribensis with the Uaru? I think a pair of colourful kribs would make a great contrast to the striking Uaru and their breeding is interesting but easy. Just an idea - have a great day!

transport bag set right on the fish store floor. cringe! hope you sanitize the exterior of the bag before bringing it in to your space at home. Avoid that possible source of pathogen contamination by setting bag in a clean plastic tray instead of directly on the floor that dozens (or hundreds?) of fish keepers have walked on before you got there.
