Loved the tour and all the tips 🥰 Are you able to do any store unboxings? I miss seeing what you sell and Robert suggestions for fish compatibility 😀 I’m watching from the UK so can’t visit the store 😊

[@kirstensfishyfriends9804]

Love your channel

[@AussieAquatic]

FUN Tour :)

[@graffic13]

You should send him to Ohio Fish Rescue!

[@bryersanimalquest2734]

Bananas 🍌

[@LastFractionZero]

I remember when Dean would say he only ever kills plants. Now he's got plants all over the place. You two sure have taught each other a lot.

[@jacobwhite4623]

Aww so sweet

[@lilstarshard]

Perfect timing for another Dean video. I've been binging the videos with him in it lately, I could listen to him talk about fish all day.

[@meduza93]

OMG I was rewatching one of the Deans fishroom tours yesterday while setting up my new 90gal and today you bring me this?! Thats just awesome! Let me grab my popcorn and chill for half an hour!

[@ironwolph]

Oh my God Dean's tanks that he tries to make look beautiful are absolutely incredible the air filter inside the Rock and the background and all the plants together on that Christmas guppy tank is beautiful

[@cyndifalk]

Oh ! It makes perfect sense that Dean is an educator! He's a natural!

[@14pedro415]

Can’t go wrong with Dean! Here is a idea how’s about the lungfish in the 800 gallon tank!

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

Dean and Cory you guys bring some of the most amazing things I've ever seen! so much respect to you and Dean and all you do! Dean's aquariums are breathtaking!Thank you for letting us come in and see all your aquariums Dean and thank you for showing it to us Cory! I absolutely can't wait to get some more plants from aquarium Co-op.. mine are doing well and they are just beautiful 😍

[@patriciafarrow9586]

Dean is such a pleasant fellow - a gentlemen - and Cory you are great at interviewing him.

[@prince151ful]

I love seeing all of the tanks, but the tank with all the guppies I really loved. I am becoming a huge fan of guppies.

[@dooksouls5423]

Dean always makes my day! We love you Dean!

[@chathurangafernando5043]

You are a good man Cory. These vids are so genuine and make wanna invest more of myself back into the hobby. Dean's fish room is goals. I really like how your opinion is very well balanced on everything and not being just a horrible marketing executive haha 👍🤣 I watch all your vids and keep going. They helped me learned a lot and always put me in a good mood. Thank you very much.

[@vampgaia]

Wow! Lungy has grown! Thanks Dean for sharing all your tanks with us. They are all beautiful. Breeding Wizard Extraordinaire! Fry everywhere!

[@KoalaAquatics]

Looking back at past videos, I absolutely love this one. Love the fish room - very cool! Saw quite a few plants i am now very interested in.

[@lazardjordjevic577]

That Geophagus aquarium is stunning!! I'm seriously considering getting some

[@lucasmelo9545]

What an amazing guy, I love when he's on your videos.

[@sharronmiller451]

[@Am.a.Stranger]

I like his setup. is so different from normal breeders. super neat and clean. dang... crystal clear water in all tanks. best so far i seen. kudos... Like you guys a lot lately. keep it up with awesome vids. cheers

[@sabinegray1450]

“Even most of his family don’t know” Me: laughs because my family doesn’t know about most of my fish

[@aquariumtreasures1054]

Love learning about Dean's baby fish and all your great lessons. 👍

[@repanas6]

Maybe one of my favorite "Fish Room Tour" Videos ever!!! Dean is the Man!! :)

[@stevewest4238]

Master breeder Dean, is an absolute legend. More Dean content/videos please!

[@blackbolt1013]

I haven't had fish over 30 yrs. I still really love the hobby..amazing video beautiful aquariums.

[@RescueDogTreats]

The distinction between wine and whiskey barrels was VERY helpful!!! Love the Dean tips and tricks!!!

[@michealfaulkner5612]

Audio wasn't bad at all! One little section got scratchy but other than that no issues. Always love a Dean fish room tour. The way you guys "nerd" out together always makes me smile!

[@RescueDogTreats]

Love Jimmy’s “two cents”...lol. It was a GREAT shot!

[@nickos1986]

Love it! The guppy’s, angels and geo tanks are fantastic!

[@farmfishandfreedom2933]

The videos with Dean are by far my favorite. I aspire to be half the breeder he is someday.

[@rananag]

[@socalfishnoob9938]

Love the video, love the educational aspect, love the content, I just subscribed ❤️

[@elvinsworld11]

Always a pleasure to see Dean's fish room.

[@BenOchart]

That lung fish looks prehistoric. Love the barrels and the geo's. Great tour (and the sound was not an issue). Thanks.

[@dominicw.g3722]

Always love these videos just wish there was a aquarium co-op like this in the UK

[@andrewlipic8414]

Always love a good Dean vid. Also, cant help but notice you guys are almost at 500,000 subs. Interested to see if you'll have something special planned for when you reach that milestone. Cant wait to see what's instore. 👍

[@sundarclicks]

Admiring how clean his tanks are !! Nice video !!

[@HCAqua]

Man, seeing Dean's fishroom just inspires me to do better! And I wish I watched this earlier so that I would have known to ditch that airstone for the Ziss brine shrimp hatchery because that is literally the only issue I have with the system.

[@ioannisgeorgiou4347]

Oh yeah the master is here!!! We love the dean videos pls make more!!!😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍

[@forsak3th]

I hope one day Dean and yourself work something out to ship fish. Excellent content and video. Thank you!

[@joshszooofanimals5416]

Awesome video like always 😃 Dean has such a neat fish room

[@pebblesintheshoe4438]

So neat everything. Superb.

[@darrylgretton6255]

Only master breeders have a fish tank in their bathroom, with green water on the windowsill 😂

[@voluntaryismistheanswer]

Good to know, I've got two in the loo (and vinegar eels) 😝

[@dancurran8977]

Even Dean's ponds look neat and tidy!

[@libby.t4424]

Love your videos with Dean.

[@jaxntax5509]

Beautiful innovative interesting, thank you.

[@davidreid1865]

Love these videos. Brine shrimp video please! I’m making tons, but feel I can be more efficient with some tips.

[@irenedool1069]

Wow loving the ponds and secret aquariums

[@duaneperry5337]

[@clarkkke7]

Great video,thanks

[@steveseagull158]

Wow. Amazing aquarium set ups

[@kushalbajra8388]

Haha the starting thou! Awesome fish tour/room 🤩

[@tracylee4297]

So enjoyable I put it on my tv to watch!

[@andrewspeedyatkinson]

Grate video as always guys thank you

[@egoranonymous3223]

Cory, people would buy the lace plant at a discounted price if you told the story of the farm in the description. But, I came here to say that it's very nice to see good people succeed theses days. And it feels good to support and buy your products. Congratulations to all of you good people!

[@fixitcorrectly7301]

The Cory and Dean duo back at it again.

[@TheOrdinaryGamertag]

Love me some dean tours haha

[@JoeJoe-mq7xh]

I absolutely love the ponds. Any chance you have a video of the set up? I’d love to set something up like that. Question how do you keep the plants and fish alive through the winter?

[@MegaAvenger98]

Thanks for the tour Dean and Cory! Quick question! So no cleaning the ponds sponge filters, does he do water changes on them, and if so how often? Thanks for the content!

[@24Revelation]

Loved the tour and the fish and the pink plant! =D

[@steveallen3845]

Great vid!

[@sylwesters]

what a joy to watch!

[@dlioncoulthurst778]

Good stuff as always..Hoorah!!

[@javadsahandi9704]

This is awesome!

[@48jhj]

those wild type bettas are amazing. i had an breed some imbellis a year or so ago. i left the nest be an only about 5/6 made it. but it was actually so cool seeing a family of betta live together. after seeing this i might try this again an spoon them out. great tip.

[@farmert9679]

Good Idea for Cory. Have extensions on your sponge filters so that you can make the tube longer and then a 45 degree attachment to get the flow moving. Longer tube gives you more suction through the filter so to say.

[@KairaliPets]

Good information 👌

[@0Turbox]

I have changed every tank, even the smallest hatch tanks, to water pumps. It's nostalgic, hearing the bubbles at a pet shop, but at home, or if you have to work for hours with your tanks, it starts eventually to annoy you. Also, fish's can hear and nearly at no habitat, our aquarium inhabitants live in, you have such a soundscape.

[@madmedic366]

Seem like really cool people ! I got one small tank but it just fascinates me so much.

[@omkarpuro]

Wonderful setup 👍

[@Jagdpantherl]

watching your video on deans fishroom got me into rams. im trying my hand at german blues and bolivian rams

[@brianklimaszewski]

Fun fact most distilleries will buy old wine barrels and char/season the inside before they use them for their whiskey. We use to repurpose old whiskey barrels to make wine in and when aged long enough would get a nice brandy flavor due to being old whiskey barrels

[@leeh9520]

Very easy to listen to videos very personable We've noticed that when talking about what's in the tanks the actual tank size is not usually mentioned. Speaking for my self I would like to know the tank size as it would help me know if I could do the same setup

[@quki3]

I’d love to see a couple different outdoor pond ideas and set ups. I’m going to need to consider adding a few ponds outside. I bought 7 (one was accidentally a female) endler’s last October 2022. I can’t even count how many endler’s I have now. Might have to sell them off? I started out with a 4 gallon cube, and a ten gallon tank. I had to recently purchased two 20 gallon long, a 40 gallon breeder and a 55 gallon. Shame to only have endler’s in them all. .. I love endler’s but I really would like to keep something else, too. Shopping for racks today. Concerning my dining room to my fish room 🫶🏻🐟🐡🧊I love these videos.. wish you guys were in Southern California ❤

[@TobyCreates]

“I don’t even know if your wife knows about this one!” *Hold up... this may confirm the rumors that girls don’t go to the bathroom lol*

[@itroll8638]

??? Never heard that dumb saying but I guess🤣😂🤣

[@aje8790]

Maybe they have multiple bathrooms

[@stayplanted1093]

Yes I love seeing the master in his element!!!

[@stayplanted1093]

On the toilet lol

[@21QUOTES_OFFICIAL]

happy to seen Dean

[@20gallonfresh98]

Very nice fish room, crazy how many fish there are in some tanks.

[@punithkumar572]

You are really great sir

[@brucemayfield5132]

Cory can you do a video comparing biological media I've seen you use just about all of them and I want to know what's the comparison between sponge, bioballs, ceramic tubes, lava rock etc

[@Dylamos]

maha-chai-en-sis probably my favorite of the wild splenden types.

[@s.a.m.simplified4598]

Dean! Finally!

[@augustus6171]

So cool!

[@ba9958]

deans canopy lids are gold need a video on that lol

[@People_R_Foolish]

I really like these ponds. Can you do a video of building one? The oval shaped one.

[@ritenour12]

Yes another deans fishtank tour

[@TuanCaCanh]

So many beautiful guppy

[@robertforrest7956]

Absolutely Love the angels, the blues are striking!! Dean, you appear sunburned...or your BP is up. I get a red flush when mine goes up. ☺️ Your shop is so sparkling clean..do you clean as you go like I do? 😉

[@deansfishroom]

Robert Forrest I try to clean as I go

[@MegaMindyLou]

Holy cow, my bovinias (sp) has gone absolutely crazy. Bloomed once, made a seed pod now is going to bloom again. I’ve got tons of little sprouts all over my tank. I’ll send you some if they take. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@yonkamacho9842]

Hey Cory! Please make a video about Goodeids or other lesser known livebearers. Are you guys working with any of those species?

[@chrishofmann3028]

Awesome video.. what happed to those 4 75gal with the puffers

[@FireAngelCatGirl]

Dean thank you for the bubblenest trick!! I have sparkling pygmy gourami who built a nest and I got that nest into a breeder box but they built another one and I couldn't figure out how to get these into the box!

[@babs629]

How does he keep all of those tanks so clean???

[@arkurianstormblade4109]

I always enjoy that since you don't need 'as much' (relatively) equipment for freshwater vs saltwater/reef, that you can get really friggin creative where you put all these tanks! If there is space, put a tank there!

[@MikesAquaticsThings]

Dean's the Man!

[@nocturnumb1781]

I love that redhead tapajo and colombian tetra tank
