For real! I’m honestly pleasantly surprised with my local pet smart and petco. I’ve got to give them credit on an individual store basis. But still nothing like this

[@pyro.augh23]

[@matthewloomis2942]

Same where I'm at there really isn't that many fish stores besides the petcos n stuff like that...but none that cater to just aquatics

[@justinmccarthy6688]

[@peteriverson4682]

First thought: Dean’s T-shirt giving continuity vibes to other videos. Second thought: Cory and Dean’s friendship is so pure and must be protected at all cost.

[@deansfishroom]

Always fun to get together with Cory, and late night at the shop when no one else is there, really cool, cause you see things that you may not when the store is crowded with customers.

[@tiffinib3975]

I'm not sure when this walk thru was done. I live about 30 miles away myself. Lol. On the 26th I came across some beautiful celebes. And they've been getting in some gorgeous furcatas.

[@amazonaquatics]

Hi Dean I'm a big fan! Any tips on breeding egg scattering fish like ghost knives? How do you save the eggs...

[@espeterson522]

I love that Dean is getting more involved with the videos. He's an absolute pleasure! (Not that I don't love you too Cory!).

[@GothicCinderz]

Totally worth the drive. I won't be going anywhere else. Clean, informative, supplies are reasonable, unlike any of the others stores. You can see they are Proud of what they do.

[@716Flat4]

I have to say a few things here. Cory, I really appreciate you and your team so much. The amount and quality of your content is amazing. over the last few years I developed depression and anxiety. I somehow stumbled back into the hobby I had left long ago after a move. Now I am about 2 years back into the hobby and when I am down and my fish aren't enough to help, yours always are. Thank you so much for sharing your setups, products, experience, time and energy in this community. It is wonderful to have people who are as passionate as you are as involved as you are with all the things you do to contribute. I also admire that you still have fish at home. I think it speaks volumes of your passion that after building a company to sell fish, you've maintained your love enough to still keep some at home. Thanks again!

[@ethancondry3474]

This is my favorite type of aquarium co-op vid. Where they are just talking openly in the store

Always a joy to watch Cory and Dean doing a video together. It's somehow....therapeutic

[@gregghorner9107]

What a well stocked and impressive store. I love the Betta condos and that they are not stuck in little cups.

[@NJCryptoDevil]

The enjoyment and happiness that Dean still gets from these fish makes me smile. You guys are awesome.

[@bengosling4606]

This should be a regular series just Cory & Dean hanging out after hours discussing the store and their future fish plans

[@anthonybrown8158]

I like how dean is getting you all back. When he was like I didn’t know we where film this. Know he’s turn the tables on the Co-Op crew. Lol

[@mmnelson82]

Anthony Brown I agree. He is getting more comfortable as well as showing how witty and spontaneous he can be. We may be getting close to the FIRST video from Deansfishroom. 😉🤔

[@MDFishTanks]

Absolutely love Dean's passion and it really comes across on screen. Good job cory...and whoever's editing (is it still jimmy?)

[@Edx733]

Aye md

[@cesarrodriguezzz]

I love you videos MD 😁

[@connordean2258]

Love the idea for 10 or more fish of one type and get 10% off, probably the easiest way to trick a new hobbyist into having a more successful setup.

[@myserenitycrafts]

I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys. Thanks 🙏

[@VetAquatics]

I love seeing people like Dean picking fish from your store. Just seeing what catches his eye after so many years in the hobby is really interesting.

[@A1AAdventures]

The setup is so beautiful and kept so immaculate Corey. That was a cool “on the spot” challenge selection.

[@MikeVivirito]

I'm assistant manager of The Fish Room in Raleigh, NC. Our front reef display tank gets blasted by early morning sunlight for several hours before we open shop so we've been hanging a thin white foam board on the front glass viewing panel each night before we leave. So far it has helped greatly to mitigate various algae and cyanobacteria growth and it was very easy to make.

[@jeffouimet]

Cory, you have to love Dean's enthusiasm for fish and especially your store and warehouse. It seems to me that he comes up with ideas to display your store and warehouse, anything to talk fish. You're very fortunate to have a friend like Dean that supports you and Aquarium Co-op.

[@espeterson522]

You could always assemble the tank on site. That would deal with half the logistical problems of adding a 10ft tank to the store. Acrylic is easy to bond together, it doesn't have to be pre-built!

[@vicaroo001]

so fun. I was just there today and it was a delight to shop, as always. Love to Robert. He listens to the ramblings of an old Fish Lady.

[@mariaking7944]

I have to admit that Dean is one of my favorite guest/cohost you have on bc he is just so darn adorkable! Yes adorkable.

[@sishowser848]

Cory you where talking widows. One of the coolest windows I ever saw, was stained glass of Koi fish . I thought it would be great for and aquarium store.Stained glass fish seen keep it simple.

[@dandybounddandybound1064]

Thumbs Up guys...@ Aquarium Co-Op Shop window needs a large block out and Murphy is what you want across the front.Frosted decal will allow some light in to avoid making the shop to dark from block out. Before worrying about the upgrade to Murphy's tank get a good look at base of store as that amount of weight maybe outside load limit of base material.(Alot of Aquaruim stores get a bill from landlord to repair place later from Cracking floor)

[@DaniKenAquatics]

Alway love when you two do a Video lol great times!!!!

makes me wanna see the store for my self some day

I feel so lucky to live near enough to go to your shop. It’s incredible!

The logistics behind the tank upgrade for Murphy is going to be amazing. Can't wait to see it happen.

[@pancakefish]

Great video Cory! I love these long videos because I can just sit down, relax, and watch you and all of your cool fish. I often do this while I'm sitting next to one of my own fish tanks. lol.

[@Dobromir_Chodkowski]

Thanks, it was a great opportunity to see Aquarium Co-Op store. I would totally visit live it but I live the Netherlands so for me it was awesome too see it here. i do like it and I'd visit it as often as possible only to look at the fish. Love the betta rack

[@Shelzbells]

I just love you & Deans Videos, how fun.

[@Stikibits]

You could get a signwriter to paint an aquarium scene and your shop name on that window.

Happy new year.... Happy fish keeping....u have beautiful store...all tanks are so clean and beautiful set up..u give beautiful environment to all fishes

[@andyf3148]

Surely it would be easier to do a custom build in location. You could go for a pond style setup with two viewing panels on the two sides you can actually see. It would be a bunch cheaper so you could do the larger height. You can also build a filter inside the tank, maybe with a cool feature, something really unique for a store like a waterfall and emersed plants.. just a thought

[@annamurray6735]

I really enjoy your videos with Dean they're very informative and fun y'all keep up the great work

Coolest shop ever! Sure do wish I was local.

[@jackiepearson3189]

Hey Corey, I’m an interior designer in Vancouver BC and happened to stumble upon your video which mentioned your betta tank algae problem... Anyhoo ... I’m wondering if you have ever thought about blackout roller blinds powered by a remote with your graphics on one side? That may solve your problem and keep those fish tanks from growing algae that you are speaking of… Just a thought.

[@iansmith9554]

What a beautiful store.

Use window tint for cars! My local tint guy does the banks, some fast food stores, and regular stores. You can use any tint percentage you want. If it's not dark enough then you can go back and add a layer of film if need be or just redo it.
