I Worked at an Aquarium Store for the Day - Here's How it Went!

[@patrick-x4w5f]

Thanks for cheering me up on this downer of a day. Good to see the other side of the hobby.

[@amariadore1618]

love the beautiful synchronized energy witnessed, when good people get together.. Lovely video. Great and worthy collaboration

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much 🥹🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@falcolf]

Putting the holes in tupperware to make isolation containers is GENIUS. I'm 100% going to do that to make some isolation quarters fior introducing new fish!❤

[@MoondyneJoe]

Oh I love your videos Kaity, you always put a smile on my face with your cheery outlook and also the information you impart is very interesting, especially to see the fish hobby from "our" point of view in Australia, ones we can relate to especially with our, biosecurity laws, it often means what overseas channels report on can't be had over hear unfortunately. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos and your travel ones as well Tony from Rural Western Australia 🇦🇺 🦘

Great vid! Marina has such an infectiously positive attitude. I feel like I'm personally in a better mood!

[@amariadore1618]

Kaity KNOWS HOW TO PICK THEM!!!

[@philhall1003]

welcome to the world of working in a aquatics shop Katie. it's not as easy as it's made out to be but it's a job of love rather than work. I love working in a aquatics shop for a living ❤

[@dancaptainhowdy]

Wow Finn has come along way I remember buying fish off of him from his home run business online and getting them shipped to country Victoria.

[@johnwoodall3791]

Very Cool Katie, I still say your going to end up owning one very cool Aquarium Store but within a Location that would lap up this type of Interior Set Up or even Exterior ones. Their was an Elderly Couple that used to own the place I think, Not sure?. I once obtained most my Fish from There when I lived with Mum and Dad as well as Pet City Mt Gravatt, The place Aquarama at Stafford wasn't around then. I'm 38 so I used to love visiting the Aquarium to pick up some Fish until I went into the Air Force, I flew the Final Dump and Burn F-111 Display at River Fire in 2010 which i think was on KZbin. I spent 18 Years with the RAAF and now fly for Qantas as a Captain on all Their types of Aircraft but mainly Overseas and Long Range Domestic. I like Studying and went to Mt. Maria ( Mitchelton) Catholic College. I now Hold BSC' s in Engineering ( Multiple) Disciplines, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical and Aeronautical, PhD ins Maths, Physics and Chemistry. When I Got married to my High School Sweetheart we lived in many places because of the RAAF and now have Settled in Gatton on top of a Hill, Really Cool Place. I still see now and then Brother Lawrence, The Guy that took us out looking for Snakes etc and catching them for milking by the CSIRO, Crazy but a Cool Guy. I think it's important to maintain a good relationship with those you knew in the past irrespective of who they are, Brother Lawrence talked myself into going trapping some Snakes in the Lamington Park walk trails in a few weeks buy I reckon I will take my Fish Nets with me to see what's in there. We carry RFDS Snake bite kits with Antivenin in them. Stay Cool Kaity, Hope that Storm didn't harm your Car. Take Care.... Sincerely John.

What a great video. This was a very entertaining to watch. Sure wish there was a store like that in my area.

[@lukewallenbeck7645]

Marina is a natural in front of the camera! Do some collabs together on other videos outside of the shop!

[@jtkeepingfish]

Well done Kaity! Many people don't understand how much work it takes to run a fish store! But you showed it off quite well! It's funny to see how some of the little tricks can just make some things so much more efficient, for example the little tubs with holes. Great job!

Was that the Aquarium around the Nundah Area ??. Pretty Cool Place, Been there once before it Think.... Cheers and Take Care.... Also used to be one around the Eagle Junction Area In the Brisbane Region they also dealt with Fresh and Marine, They first introduced myself to the Use Of Oxygenation using bottles of Oxygen, Really Cool and the Plants and Fish were so Super Good looking, Is this possibly the same place ??, Sort of in a Back Street.. Cheers.....

[@Kaityscichlids]

Yes that's the one!! They took it over a few years back from the owner beforehand 🐟🐟

Is that a Murray River cod!? 2:18

Hi Kaity I’m from The USA I was looking back when you bought your water box I’m starting my own water box and KZbin channel can I make content with action cam or phone what do you recommend

[@unsocialbutterfly5760]

I worked in an aquarium when I was 13 or 14, for a few months. It was called “Black Shark Aquarium” in a Melbourne suburb called Elsternwick. I loved it. I didn’t know the owners, but I was in there so often, looking at all the fish, almost daily, and I just asked if I could help, and to my amazement they said yes! It was illegal to have me working there, at my age, and they paid me peanuts, but it was so fun. It was almost 40 years ago, before internet, before cell phones and before legalities were truly enforced. I cleaned tanks, bagged fish for customers, removed dead fish and cleaned constantly, I never handled the register or money though. I remember there was a huge tank of live brine shrimp, that people bought to feed their fish…you don’t see that anymore 🤷‍♀️

[@Kaityscichlids]

Wow!! That is so cool!! Yes I've never seen a tank full of sea monkeys 😮🦐 That's a great idea though!

[@lucas_f_s]

Another nice video from my favorite youtube channel 😉😊

[@Kaityscichlids]

Awwww 🥹🥲 Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@BodgieFromStraya]

This is such a fun video idea haha!

[@the88tench3]

Cool video! Definitely something a bit different, but was really fun to watch 😀 Looks like you really enjoyed your day working at the aquarium store, what did you enjoy most about it? I've done work placements at aquarium stores and fish farms, can confirm there's so much cleaning involved, like the time I single handedly deep cleaned about 50 aquariums over a couple of days, and had to essentially play a game of tetris managing all the stock in them 😂 I have thought about setting up an aquascape specialised store from time to time, think that might work as a business if i can work out if there would be enough customers to keep it going! Would you ever consider setting up an aquatics shop? Artemia is fun, learnt how to culture those at uni. Also learnt how to do fish anaesthesia too but we used MS-222 for that which worked really well! The blennies were cool too, look really similar to the ones we get in the UK! Never knew tangs liked sushi seaweed too!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Omg 50 tanks!! I can't even imagine, one was hard enough for me 😅 I think I enjoyed going out and getting coffee the most LOL. But honestly probably the fish unboxing 🐟 I loved working there but I don't know if I could manage a whole store!

[@the88tench3]

@Kaityscichlids That was a big job mind sorting all those aquariums out! I think if I ever had anywhere that had that many aquariums I'd definitely want one of those automated water change setups like that store in Canada you visited! Saying that, I might need that for my own aquariums as I had a good go at flooding my living room doing a water change the other week 😬 RAS systems are a lot easier to manage in a commercial environment, as you just turn the sump to lower the water level! That's fair, coffee is always a good idea haha 😂 Definitely look into doing some more videos there though, would be cool to see how that big tank you were setting up progresses!

[@s1mon1983]

Love your channel, so interesting. And you're such a pretty, energetic person.

Zip tie two hydroponic net cups together to make your cups with flow. Just a thought.

Are Australian blennies and bicolour blennies the same fish?

[@ElmerCornish-z4i]

Good show😎

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you 😁🙏🏻

[@zlamanit]

The plastic fumes… you could buy transparent root control pots for orchids which are similar size and would work just as well as these pods (if not better). And it’d be cheaper than paying an employee to make them.

[@Kaityscichlids]

That is a great idea!! So much easier!

[@robertfaber6796]

The disadvantage to the orchid pots is they don’t support the use of lids, which in this case are necessary.

[@zlamanit]

@@robertfaber6796 true. They could use similar covers even if they do not fit perfectly. Flip them upside down or add a weight on top?
