My 16 foot long PIRANHA AQUARIUM update - the king of DIY 2024

[@gr_aquatics]

Filming the die off of the plants can be a good video to teach people that it happens and it’s ok, awesome content and vids!!

[@j_toledo419]

If i ever have a channel focused on fish keeping, i would do feeding videos weekly at least. Feeding fish is the most rewarding part of fish keeping, ill never understand why more fish tubers dont do more all feeding videos. Trust and believe its very hard for anyone that loves aquariums to scroll past a video that has something about feeding fish in the title lol **it NEVER gets old or repetitive**

[@thekingofdiy]

thats what im saying! then i see/hear silly comments saying "all he does is feeding videos!" lol... yet never did them more than once a month.

[@QoQReptiles]

@@j_toledo419 join the only fins community. He does it every day over there. (Just kiddin)

[@Chew20]

Why are people so mad, it’s his tanks and he can do as he pleases. He does not do this to satisfy you. I’ve learned most of my fish knowledge from Joey and he shows us the ups and downs to fish keeping. He keeps it real and is always trying something different. Some people like to set up a tank and never touch it again. Other enjoy changing tanks around ect, everyone can enjoy the hobby as they please

[@Mooremixingandmastering]

JOEY! You need to get 150 TIGER BARBS (only striped) in the 16FT. They're fast enough and aggressive enough for feedings and a show on their own.

[@wawi911]

I kinda agree, although i like mossy barbs most 🤔

[@Mooremixingandmastering]

@@wawi911 from what ive tried only the tiger variant seems to last with them, though this is in 300 gallons. So it may work

[@shel.b.1090]

Would be great to have one taxidermed and the other as a Skeleton display. So sorry for your loss joey it’s never easy losing fish, and thanks for your honesty. Tank looks good but need some small dither fish I think in with them. Xxxx

[@irecruitfish7410]

I was going to do that with a couple of fish I lost but the taxidermy cost more than the fish!

[@darexxis]

i was thinking the same

[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

Hey Joy, I’ve been waiting for an update on your piranha tank. I can see where this one is going to be just as lovely as the old one. I’m so sorry about the two you lost but everybody here will have good ideas. I’m sure. The 2000 looks absolutely phenomenal. Wow, I could sit in front of that and watch it for days. See you next time

[@PiranhaLife]

dermestid beetles to clean the bodies to bone then add bones into acrylic for a cool statue.

[@BarrettSule]

Hey, I hope this isn’t intrusive, but could you assist me? I’ve saved USDT TRX20 in my OKX wallet with the phrase (clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish tonight involve whip action). What’s the best way to transfer it to Bybit or Binance?

[@_zefi_otb]

The colour on their tail fins pop so much in the 16’ long aquarium. I love it

[@scottgordin9709]

I like the 16’ Piranha tank, it looks sweet. As for the two dying, I think it was a combination of moving them, a smaller tank, not enough circulation and over all stress.

[@ClaytonO-fish4life]

You’ve been doing this for a hot minute, at the beginning of KZbin. I think you got a handle on it. Lol. Haters back off. Joey I’m glad you don’t care about what people say. I do a lot that people say you shouldn’t and guess what? It works out fine!!! Keep doing you and I’ll keep watching! 👍🏻

[@NickP8877]

Piranhas. The most ghetto fish anyone could possibly own haha

[@dabbaghs1]

A black Background instead of the blue would give that tank a huge upgrade. The plants and fish would look way better

[@CRUCESlGNATUS]

Everyone said that since he built it it looks so bad with blue

[@anjanettechantal4139]

@@CRUCESlGNATUSi agree black always better for looks

[@specteractual1]

And if you guys pay attention he has stated many times why it is blue he is colorblind and it allows him to see everything better

[@biohazardmc2034]

@@specteractual1see i saw that video and thought “then all his tanks would be blue” if that was the real reason. Unless he prefers to just not see any fish lol. Probably more just wanted to try something new and needed a solid excuse to run with it once he saw so many complaints.

[@Itssam89]

​@specteractual1 you can get glasses to see colours...

[@ryanengels7603]

Exodons for sure help clean up the little bits of food and help with the cool frenzy together

[@freddievara8649]

Love the blue in the 16 looks deeper with the water movement

[@QoQReptiles]

I would love to see exodons again. I have them because of you and i think its a very interesting fish

[@thekingofdiy]

i miss mine! i wish i never replaced them,. but such is life in the aquarium gallery. had i not stuck to the original plan, most people would never gotten exposed to many types of fish i brought in!... so here we are.

[@jonathane317]

A lot of people put Exodons with piranha, which seems to work in a big aquarium. I don't know for how long 😅

[@QoQReptiles]

Probably works perfect seeing the king had tetras with his "killers". To bad my tank is to small (3ft x 3ft x 3ft). Maybe one rhombeus...

[@chrislenton3749]

Large algae disc from the local fish store in between meat feedings is what my 13 red belly love. Tank looks great Joey!

[@xilentYT]

You're doing great bro! Stopped in to give a suggestion for the 16' tank. The blue background is kinda tough imo. It's a little sharp on the eyes. Black would look good but I'm pretty sure the blue is painted on the back and wouldn't be easy to change. But would it be possible to put a super dark tint on the inside of the tank? Like over the blue. I feel like that would actually look so good if it could be done safely. Try and picture the blue background with a dark black window tint over it, it would almost float over the blue. Maybe play with a few different levels of tint so you can get a deep dark blue. Just throwing the idea out there. Not even sure if it would be possible but I think it would look great and unique.

[@todaysfishingadventure]

Taxidermy the 2 piranhas and add them above the 16 foot aqua into the King of DIY sign above like they are swimming 😊

[@GreenCanvasInteriorscape]

They self taxidermy I've got dried fishes of too many kinds who jumped or died They self-preserve, even fancy goldfish

[@joshd15]

Taxidermist. Come up with a badass idea with the two piranhas

[@jaredreed9278]

This was my dream tank when I was a kid lol it’s amazing!

[@brianbedford6603]

That’s my favourite version of the 2000g those Geo’s are just spectacular, and those altums just top it off nicely

[@tylercaramella2213]

Use the smaller one for the skeleton and taxidermy the bigger one. Have it mounted on a piece of driftwood.

[@CrzyDogmom]

I believe it’s stress. Some still look very stressed. I would add some taller plants and good hiding spots around to help them feel a bit more secure you can always use them elsewhere when yours grow in. Cost less than replacing the fish.

[@bautistafamilyfarm]

Very nice sharing video sir.keep it up.beautiful fish 🐠

[@marlonsparks5828]

Great update on the 16 foot tank

[@Rebekahtheakston]

Add a massive school of neons. The slow, steady, fluid movement of the neons would be a compliment to the hovering of the piranha.

[@louisw113]

I believe it was the Bronx zoo that had a large piranha display with Bleeding Heart tetras… This was close to 30 years ago but 10 year old me thought it was pretty bad ass 😬😆

[@FishCapadesProductions]

Lol and kiss 😅 your sense of humor is great 😅

[@leannej3093]

"And kiss" 😂

[@fishismyfriends613]

The 2000 gallon is absolutely gorgeous！

[@BarrettSule]

Hello, I feel awkward asking, but could you help me with something? I store USDT TRX20 in my OKX wallet and possess my recovery phrase (clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish tonight involve whip action). Can you guide me on transferring it to Bybit or Binance?

[@kinglezly3020]

Joey re do the whole 16ft as partitions that flow through each other from biotype to biotype from the mountain streams down to the edge of the freshwater meets the ocean. Perhaps a complete amazon river bitoype system

[@MartyButterly]

Looks awesome… you can’t please everyone !! Been keeping fish in the uk and now Australia for 30 years + and I always look forward to your videos. Inspiration to the hobby. Fish like piranhas deserve a monster tank like that!

[@zfixation9817]

I've heard of keeping tiger barbs with piranha, but I've also heard anything smaller than the piranha will be food.

[@mrpunchyface774]

That Angel/Geo tank is incredible. Oh and how about 25 piranha vs 2 piranha?

[@matthewj6154]

Throw some cherry shrimp into the tank. They might be ok with the plant cover and will clean up the leftover food.

[@PorterCollins-oz6gi]

Please bring back a school of exodons such a cool fish

[@QueAquatics]

I would Love to see tank being fed with your thoughts on each tank and the fish inside

[@matthewadams8294]

If you get in the tank, gotta film it Joey!

[@Hauntcade]

exodon bucktooth tetra for sure but you need to be cautious when adding them. Piranha might mistake them as food. Pleco is iffy too.

[@danielnicholson300]

I think it would be cool if you took the big piranha and got it as a complete mount and then had the other one stripped to a skeleton and had both put on the same mount to show

[@justlovely36]

I like how their scales shimmer.

[@gregwitt83]

Man love the 16ft tank but the South American 2000 is amazing looking man I believe it’s the best the 2000 has ever looked with all the colors of the fish stunning

[@JesseJM85]

Put in frogbit and Java moss, itll nuke the hair algea. Also get some small fish that eat it. Piranha won't bother them.

[@CassiegoRawr]

articulation would be fantastic. put one on your desk :>

[@mikek609]

What is this foilage of which you speak? Is it hidden behind the foliage?

[@CammyMoto]

Have you considered traveling to S. America and making a series about finding your favorite species or possibly discovering new species of fish?

[@mikhaeljensen5429]

Use a Rice metal sii and a top for a cookin pot this what you can move em easy❤❤

[@kewkyu5764]

I'm personally curious, if neon tetra do well in there, would small algae eaters such as otos or Siamese/Flyingfox algae eaters do alright with piranha? Something small and nimble? Oh, or maybe something like neocaridina, maybe dream blue's or simple green? Or would shrimp get stuck in the filter... =/

[@amx1820]

If your going to add neon tetra, will chili rasbora be a better option? Because they're smaller and more exotic(or more uncommon)

[@dennisvanopstal7437]

Stress seems a possibility The weakest fish of the pack could be beaten up most in a stressfull situation. Or the weakest fish where just not able to handle the stress as good as the stronger ones. Perhaps if the situation would have last a few days longer you lost more.

[@dannythacker2528]

Add some exodon vampire tetras to eat the small scraps that the piranhas leave behind. It will add good top water movement as well

[@ac9356]

Yh definitely get some different coloured nanos

[@rjal6528]

I have a heavily stocked 55-gallon tank. I do water changes every 2 weeks. However, my water tends to always appear cloudy. Was wondering if I should increase my filtration since the canister filter that I use has seen its better days. Its rated for 150 gallon tanks but I know it's not preforming hownit use too. I also feed my fish every 2 days.

[@himfish1]

wow those piranhas are putting on some size

[@janudajayasekara]

I would love to see the old piranha tank and also the asian arovana tank 😢

[@exiledreptile1]

Exodons! 💯

[@PorterCollins-oz6gi]

[@shoadowmewtwo702]

Hey Joey, I’m Sorry for your Loss….lucklily it’s not the end of the world but still. I got a question, one of my Oscars is around 9 months old and he turned grayish, my other Oscar’s never had that, is it normal?

[@shindama]

I’d go with discus in the 16ft aquarium but would need to change the background

[@Unavailable4L]

Come on your guys let's get this video to 5K like, share it !!!

[@johne4188]

Joey, just out of querosity what happened to all the racks of aquariums you had against the wall before you changed things around?

[@kchortu]

the fact the 2 smallest ones died yeah stress is what i would bet on

[@kaberichowdhury7577]

We need video of feeding all of your fishes

[@colinboneham7387]

Defo like to see a full 27 tank feeding

[@jamesbarnard928]

What about an Armored Plaited pleco Algae eater to put with the piranha tank

[@LeelyCOD]

Taxidermy but where would you put it

[@TheGreatOceanDisasterAquariums]

Still would like to see the local pet shop crawl. Maritime Fins has 3 15" freshwater Morays that should be in your collection.

[@ShamimHaydee]

Great analysis, thank you! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

[@colinboneham7387]

Imo Neons should be the tank mates for the Piranha

[@blax45]

100% best version of the 2000.

[@freddievara8649]

Beautiful ❤

[@crazychris1971]

Your aquarium episodes are like daytime drama TV shows lol, always something going down in the neighborhood

[@thekingofdiy]

thats how i feel about the 2K tank. absolutely insane these days!

[@jlo3688]

would love to see you fed all the tanks

[@radioraffa]

Tiger Barbs would go well with the Piranhas

[@yashtapase3821]

Good one

[@darrenclarke2652]

How about a large group of tiger barbs to the 16ft aquarium

[@PaulZyCZ]

Ants? But I think there was something better, maybe some bugs (as mentioned). To clean the piranha head I mean. I've seen a necklace from snake's spine (the snake was found dead), but I don't remember what exactly was used. I'd recommend asking in Gothic, Horror enthusiasts, LARP or similar communities.

[@timadams306]

What about adding buenos Aires tetras?

[@darrenhilton9402]

"1 piranha, 2 piranha..." - 🧛🏻‍♂️

[@xtra_chunky]

Circle of life. Feed the two to the horde...as fillet.

[@mrhkp2000]

A huge school of neon or cardinal tetras and rummy nose tetras would be cool.

[@SMOOVKILL1]

Exactly but cardinal not neon with the rummy nose.

[@irecruitfish7410]

When are you getting a black wolf fish?

[@deepdragon2]

was thinking why not a rectangle or square so they can swim around and around ?

[@wisconsinaquatics]

When dealing with large numbers of fish sometimes there is casualties. As to the question of what happened, I believe they got bashed by the bigger fish mixed with the stress they were in just made for a situation the smaller guys couldn't contend with.

[@xxdv03xx]

what ever happen to the out side pool tank?

[@alexpellman8637]

I think you should divide the 16ft and put discus on the right side

[@michaelshaw8370]

Most likely stress related. They look more stable now they settled in

[@GibbonLord]

Exodons would be awesome in combination with piranha if the piranhas survive...

[@Snootysnatch]

Fish die the world keeps turning. Keep doing what you feel like doing joey thats the point of it all!

[@sting3104]

How long does it take you to clean all those tanks? I have three aquariums of what I consider decent sizes but nothing like yours so I couldn't imagine how long it takes!!

[@MrFarmboy151]

Idea for the frozen piranha… build new piranha aquarium with concrete, press the frozen ones into to wet concrete, didn’t you get a bunch to add ?

[@stevemacdonald2303]

Silverdallors are like that nervous

[@raitabunda2634]

Preserve the Piranhas in acrylic

[@derekderexson248]

those few that passed could have already been ill, or stressed before the move.

[@jameshunt4097]

ONE pirahna uh haha, TWO pirahna uh haha

[@D_Rock-ho7pf]

The guy that runs the killie club I’m in has a dried piranha necklace lol

[@thekingofdiy]

ok... too far. lol

[@Tbug666]

The only good thing about the piranha tank now is you can see all of them. The blue background should’ve been black in my opinion. Anyway, he can do what he wants.

[@AverageJoeandaMustang]

They didn't die from lack of oxygen. Normally, larger fish will suffer more than smaller fish first.

[@mikhaeljensen5429]

They eat one at the time and if one takes twice the other charge that one 😂❤ Nice tank need some hardscape maybe

[@takeover3889]

Add tiger barbs!

[@ericbruce658]

Have you ever owned golden dorado they are gorgeous

[@karlmartin9525]

Could you add a school of SAE to help combat the algae ? I know that not from the same area but they are an underrated fish
