Cory and @chrislukhaup visited EFS Wholesaler, a wicked huge facility in Germany with over 4,000 aquariums. They had a huge selection of aquarium fish with amazing colors, good health, and incredible size. It's hard to do a place like this justice, but Cory found all sorts of species, like dark knight rams, giant plecos, micro rasboras, Odessa barbs, discus, copper chocolate dalmatian mollies, arowana, sunset variatus platy, L56 mottled plecos, twinbar molly, creamsicle molly, lyretail molly, flume tail platy, limia livebearers, Ameca splendens goodeid, guppies, Endler's livebearer hybrids, dwarf red wag platy with plume tail (never seen before!), koi swordtails, frontosa, puffers, shell dwellers, medaka ricefish, Apistogramma borellii "opal," and much, much more.

Per our agreement with the wholesale owners, we had to blur out any prices that showed up on camera. Thanks for your patience, and we hope you enjoy the tour!

[@RepentfollowJesus]

What happened to the hour? I got 20 min.

[@LogacysAquaticLove]

Thanks for doing these things, tours etc just everything you have done for this hobby and it’s amazing ppl! 💯🤙🏼 you seriously changed my life for the btr. Maybe one day I will get my dream of meeting you in person and the store. Soon as I get enough money to travel from northeast Pa lol.

[@LakeMissoulaAquaticsandPlants]

Thank you Corey

[@CatFish107]

All good. Thanks for all the behind the scenes peaks you've been bringing us!

[@vivienleigh4640]

You're making it harder and harder, Cory. Every time I think I've decided what I want next, you find more varieties.

[@ChucksFeeesh]

Germany is like fish hobby heaven!!! Thank you again Cory!

[@cyndifalk]

I LOVE those rocket platys! A whole tank of those would be a crowd-pleaser!!

[@NovusBovus]

This video single-handedly changed my mind on platies and swordtails. So thank you for showing just whats out there!

[@audrameyer9558]

I appreciate the Platy schooling so much! Thank you 😊

[@andreagalda28]

It was very helpful when you pointed out the sad clamped fins vs healthy fins.

[@aquapuncture]

Livebearers! 😍 Rocket Platy! Thank you! ✌😎

[@simr780]

Love from New York Cory, thank you for you videos💙

[@leftyo9589]

not even a store, and its neat, clean, and orderly. US fish stores have so far to go.

[@laattardo]

I live on the east coast and I can't tell you how many times I've looked at my husband and said I want to open a fish store and follow Cory's model. 😂😂

[@beastfr0meast93]

I love the Germany tour.

[@missinmtl]

You guys should do weekly or every 2 weeks sit down chats. 2-3 people sitting together and discussing a topic. +/- 1 hour videos. Would love watching that.

[@matthewsmith22]

A deep dive in Japan of some crazy rice fish would be great, and an awesome excuse to drag dean to Japan! Some of the pictures online of the variants seem too good to believe

[@JJLewin1]

That's a big WOW Cory, amazing fish with some fantastic colours going on. How ever do they feed them?

[@bradysonnenberg5730]

Those one blue platy are called neon blue wag! They're super great.

[@Whathowwhenforwhomwhatpurpose]

Thank you for explaining the different names and markings on the fish.

[@NiX_aKi]

Those are some nice wild type borelliis 😍😍 I think the arowana was a black arowana.

[@josephkrug8579]

Back when i kept fish ages ago, I preferred the swordtails which were basically greenish silver with some black spots on the sides...that was what happened after adding in some colorful ones after a few generations...so I think that (even if I did not describe it right), was the original color vs the cross bred ones.

[@MIKoenig44]

I've never knew the Wagtail, Tuxedo, Twin Bar, and Plume Tail trivia. Pretty cool to add that knowledge now!

[@PaulsFishroom]

Your “Twin bar” platies have been known for years as Comet platies in the UK.

[@eddyortiz8110]

Nice Platies. The white with speckles are called Milk & Ink play. The gold ones are Marigold Sunset platies. Very cool .thanks

[@jc49fishniner4lif7]

Thank you so much we would love to see several parts of this video 👍👍🫵

[@kristiemowry3267]

Enjoyed and learned something about the platy color morphs.

[@kristoferandersson8305]

Your videos are great and I have learned a lot about fishkeeping by following your channel. Thanks.

[@shawnolobri]

BooYa baby!!! what a great video! We need a co-op in riverside ca!!

[@peasantstimekeeper]

THANK CORY FOR ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lynnrobertson4657]

Hi cory the fish are beautiful thankyou for sharing ❤ watching from Australia

[@michaela-be4le]

Always quality content 👍🏻

[@Fkp.777]

Best wholetrader in germany👌

[@laattardo]

Lake tanganyika fish are so underrated ❤❤

[@nini66676]

Awesome video Cory! I was wondering, have you seen the new type of corydoras that was discovered recently? They're called fireball corydoras (corydoras hephaestus). I think they look really neat!!

[@dojabrain1369]

The feather fins were beautiful, I need to stop looking because my tanks are full 😭

[@AquaticFishNut]

At 5:10, that's a Black Arowana (Osteoglossum ferreirai).

[@williamleidy6713]

Those black swords were awesome.

[@danaknight1910]

As a Rasbora lover it pained me to see you skip rasbora/danio row

[@IMaqua]

Haha I was looking so much forward to it but when I noticed the camera is moving away from that row I was so sad 😢

[@MJW173]

i like breeding mollies over platties because all of the platty fry look the same, but mollies each have different marbling and unique patterns!

[@NinniAquariums]

What was the name of the fish at 12:04? I heard something "splendens" I think?

[@shaftshot61]

I think most of us in the hobby know the huge differences in prices from wholesalers vs consumer

[@churchsherwood2050]

so cool

[@AquaFasami]

Hey cory, what do you think of the corydoras quality in germany? Will visit germany tomorrow

[@gouldschick101]

Are alot of these fish just arrived from shipping in or in quaranteen phases? I notice in the majority of tanks even the non medicated ones there is fish in distress on the bottom or dead already...

[@roelantjonker4360]

How was their filtration set up? Looks kind of convenient at the front.

[@bradysonnenberg5730]

Swordtails don't Breen the most true imo

[@rdred8693]

They do look like little rockets. So cute.

[@CatFish107]

Kind of surprising to me that wholesalers would be moving such mature fish, like those big plecos and discus. It seems like it would require a much larger time, space and resource investment to grow the fish to that size before sale. And is there such a demand for fish that have already spent a big portion of their limited life in the farm/store before going home with someone? And enough people willing to pay the necessary premium? I know very little about the market amd economics of the aquarium trade, but this sure has me curious.

[@AquaGardenAquariums]

Tell us more about the name of this breeder!

[@lsamolsun6279.]

🎉

[@Chompchompyerded]

This is a tour I can live with! It will be an hour well wasted.

[@canuck728]

why no talk about DISCus?

[@maurinedoyle9964]

Will the giant plecos survive a winter in your pond?

[@philcavallini9657]

That arowana is a black/blue arowana. Ur welcome bud

[@nichderjeniche]

Second home germany? 😅

[@Texas_Takeover]

FIRST

[@RandomTheresa]

'Lyre' pronounced lai-ur, same as liar

[@Malysandacz]

Sadly all of those odessa barbs are males. This is dark side of the hobby, females are not even send to wholesalers.

[@nichderjeniche]

Who wanted a sausage party in the aquarium? Nobody.
