In this video we visit The Pet Show in Sydney, Australia!! This was the BIGGEST ever aquarium section they have had.

The discus at this show was amazing to see. Keep up the good content

[@Kaityscichlids]

They were seriously so stunning!! Thank you heaps 🙏

[@lucabrasi3039]

Show looked like a lot of fun and a great tour, would have never guessed that blue discus was actually a brown discus

[@sirwilliam7988]

I loved the Vero tank scapes. Very nice. Always a pleasure watching your videos.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much 😊🙏

[@86Kera]

Those discus were magnificent! And the Oscar babies were adorable

[@rajadey4919]

Those discus strains are primarily from IP discus such as Ruby Red, Face spotted eruptions and Blue Angel. IP has some of the most prominent strains of grand champion line. Their discus are also more genetically modified.

[@86Kera]

@@rajadey4919 when they’re more genetically modified does that mean more diseases?

[@BlakesAquatics]

Great video! Was so fun spending time with you 👍 keep up the good work

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you heaps Blake!! It was awesome getting to hang out with you too! Until next time 😎✈️

[@Kaityscichlids]

Awwww, thank you!! That is so lovely to hear ❤️🙏 I really appreciate it 🤗 Have a wonderful day!!

[@Teabone3]

I can't imagine the amount of work that goes into setup and take down at these types of expos

[@garageaquatics2023]

Sensory Overload! OMG! There were some amazing exhibits. Thanks for sharing them, Kaity! It looks like there's one close to home here in Pomona, California called the LA Pet Fair next June. I heard about it on some new app Fish Stream that came out with this past year's Aquashella in Florida. I always enjoy you and your content. Thanks.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Ooooo that would be awesome!! I'm really hoping to get to Aquashella at some point. Maybe next year 😁

[@garageaquatics2023]

Yup,@@Kaityscichlids . Always looking forward!

[@neilhy]

Fantastic video Katie. I loved Jag's scapes. They were stunning. And I couldn't believe the prices of those goldfish at $230! They are like £30-40 over here in the UK! Really enjoyed. Best wishes.

[@seongminsong6408]

Quality ranchus can run up to $500 dollars. Especially if they have nice genetics and a lot of wen growth.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yes, they certainly weren't cheap 😱 So gorgeous though!

[@ArunKumar-n]

Nice vedio kaity.. love the discus fishes looking great ..make more vedio like this..

[@markbaumgardt2868]

I also have the Malasian Discus as well as the Malawan Cichlids when you get into the high end Discus it can be a money Pitt but when you sit back and enjoy them it's all worth it love the video 👍

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Great video Kaity! I’m so glad we had the perfect little Leila croc charm for you😂 Cam

[@carl5481]

Awesome video, captured the fun of the show really well. You seem to be getting heaps more confident in busy public places now too, your questions around the discus were great. Would love to goto one of these shows one day, would love to bump into you and say hi 😊

[@adnan5758]

Very interesting videos and nice ideas for setting the fish aquarium

[@AnselmCarasco]

13:20 Hey Katy , the waterfall is made using white sand. Fit a pvc pipe running vertically. Two elbow pvc on both ends. The top elbow drill a small hole to pass through an air pipe. Run the air pipe to the bottom elbow but not out of the elbow. Fill in white fine sand at the mouth of the bottom elbow. The air bubbles will push the fine sand up the pvc pipe and out of the top. Decorate the area with some cascading rocks to hide the pvc and angle the falling sand to fall in the area where it can get sucked back up and you got yourself a beautiful waterfall. 😂 If you don't want to use air you can get a pump that can suck up the sand. Not too powerful that it will blow everywhere just enough to give you a calming effect of the sand falling down the rocks. If you like the custom made rocks background which are made using painted styrofoam check whether they can integrate the water fall concept in it. That would look awesome.👍🏼

[@onlyfinsau]

I couldn't make it there myself so thanks for the tour!

[@maiacowell4040]

Thanks guys !! Love the video!

[@marknewman3360]

These trade shows are like Christmas to me. LOL

[@johnwoodall3791]

Nice One, Glad as a Pilot your not sitting in the Co-Pilots seat of my Jet today on way to Los Angeles because Sydney ain't Melbourne Caity. But everything aside this is Great, Got lots of Ideas from yourself recently and decided to make 2 of the 3 Tanks I have into the following, One a Cichlid and One Australian Native fresh water fish Aquarium and keep One aside to possibly set up as a Salt Water Marine system in the Future. Awesome Video. your Very Educated in all of that associated with Fish Keeping, Good on you. Kind Regards John

[@MakoyUnggoy]

It's a good job you haven't got any spare tanks as you'd have spent a packet I bet while you were there!...Always good to see the different stuff at these shows Kaity, an interesting video

[@СергейЛеонтьев-х6д]

Wow... Great show 👍

[@o.s.8931]

[@Ayj517]

Suların kral ve kraliçesi bana göre Discus balığı. Emeğinize sağlık.

[@Kaityscichlids]

They are so beautiful 🙏 Thank you! 😊

[@jieldcroas]

I really like the Newtown aquarium section a lot, their setup for aquarium really great, and I like the lush plant that show first, I try to make something like that, but not to much success, because that setup need a lot care. As for the underwater waterfall Is simple to be honest if you try to make one the hard part was to cover all pump and pipe system with the rock, and make it more natural.

[@ChrisWijtmans]

yeah i think its just some piping, sand and air stone. It needs to right proportions to work properly ofcourse.

[@Kaityscichlids]

I'm the same!! I really struggle to maintain planted tanks. I would love to try make a sand waterfall one day

[@elvinsworld11]

Lovely

[@adamgatt719]

8:20 - FYI the poor man's frontosa is the common name for Neolamprologus tretocephalus.

[@Kaityscichlids]

I didn't know this until this Pet Show. I was like dang it, I bought the poor Frontosa 🤣

[@ongjp1523]

Hope to see u have Gold fishes of Oranda n Ranchu at your fish tank.

[@ParkersReef]

[@HS-zc2ec]

[@Kadita00]

[@khsmith6242]

[@canhobihanem2629]

Çok güzel video olmuş Eline sağlık arkadaşım

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you for watching!!

[@thehumanguineapig8500]

Hey Kaity. Can you please tell me what that plant is at 11:40. You even said you would like to know what it is. It is the reddish pinkish plant coming out of the water.

[@naegwut]

Blake!!!

[@dubaialabajwa786]

Amazing 😊

[@gasperkanoni8838]

Hvala🙏🇸🇮

[@gasperkanoni8838]

Love your content❤❤❤

[@Truth-Machine5000]

Great video! Anybody know what kind of light at 21:07 is?

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you!! It was at the Oase stall, so even though I'm not sure of the exact model my guess is it would be some type of Oase light

[@grey7513]

Jag Aquatics driftwood, any ideas where I can buy it? I need something other than golden vine, mopani etc

[@Sandoz-tq7qj]

Great 👍

[@jeroenverzijl8596]

About the lego, is that safe for the aquarium, can't find the centerpiece for my tank a sailinhship with sails, lego provides that? I think if you can use pvc tubes, lego should be ok, but if i am wrong please tell me!!!

[@bile897]

Hello, I have a 6 gallon tank, which fish is best to put in it? Thanks.

[@ArchangelHornet]

kaity: is that the box fix? its very boxy 😅

[@roohollahyeylaghiashrafi7095]

[@Kaityscichlids]

[@boesemani]

[@allanramos9003]

Never been 1st comment and like lol

[@Kaityscichlids]

Hahaha, you were quick, well done!! 🤣🎉

[@ChrisWijtmans]

I want that paludarium. but i already have 3 tanks. a south american, asian and small african tank. Those aquascapes are very good wish i could do that but dont have the time/energy/space/tools to do that just yet.

[@Kaityscichlids]

I'm in the same boat. There's SO many more tanks I would love to setup, but I'm waiting to have the space and time. One day 🤞

[@FaberOSK]

8:20 N.tretocephalus ... :(

[@chaiwatpotichanid]

[@GoodKyn]

[@transit921]

[@drakethedragon3009]

when will it end

[@jeroenverzijl8596]

Love the Discus, but not in my tank, to pricy for me...., the Pure guppy's they show there are how much, i heard some can go for 100€ a pair

[@sootlet8894]

fish shows must be sp extremely stressful to set up for

[@racecar945]

It's funny when a Chinese speak English 😂

[@robertspreitzer8126]

I use to keep Discus best fish ever man do they take a lot of work to keep healthy…lots and lots of water changes like daily sometimes twice a day.

[@ChristianBarthels-xd4ls]

Okay,i still can't understand why we have to twist nature,while it provide us with so many differences and choice...i would never buy any human form made fish. It's fun to see maybe,but nope...Greetings from Europe/Belgium.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Yes they are definitely not for everyone!Greetings from Australia!! 😊🇦🇺

[@ChrisWijtmans]

I think keeping a fish in the right environment is much more humane than keeping a dog or cat in an apartment especially when there is no garden. Or letting your cat out of the garden creating a nuisance for neighbours, wildlife and endangering the cats life and people on the road. Also there have been cases where endangered species have been saved by the aquarium hobbyists. And i would think many aquarium hobbyists will tell you how inhumane it is to keep a goldfish in a fish bowl.

[@eddiefniii]

They breed them so we don’t keep getting them from the wild. Wild caught is destroying natures balance….

[@mrwhiskers1471]

We are a part of nature nature also twist itself

[@CEROTOPHRYS]

Simple reason. £££€€$$ I’m glad to see someone else agrees with me!

[@muratbaysan]

08.38 Fishes not frontosa

[@Kaityscichlids]

I learned at the Pet Show that they're colloquially known as "Poor Man's Frontosa" even though they're not Frontosa

[@bjjbrawler1]

Axolot's need real vegetation! Legos are cute but in the short, short term.

[@Pashasmom1]

I always wonder about the fish in some of tanks that have nothing of interest in them for the fish. No hiding spots, no plants, no sandy bottom or whatever they put on the bottom, no rocks. Just a sterile environment.

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

It’s an exibition., the judges must have a clear view to the fish. What did you expect.

[@shahul444]

Change camera man 😊

[@kris-ant-be]

les discus sont à mourir...

[@yaminkhan4083]

Hi sweet lovely girl

[@jkbc]

lego aquarium? nooooo...thats' unnatural. I like real fish and their real habitat..no plastic please

[@danbaker2619]

I mostly watch this channel hoping to see to in your bathers catching Rainbow fish... What can I say, I'm your hot I am a creep, and you are not... Sorry, I have very little to look forward to in this life. Maybe go catch some Rainbow fish? Please?

[@large_planet]
