Fish Farm Tour - Imperial Tropicals

[@NYCminer]

I have bought many fish from mike and his team. They are a absolute dream to deal with. There fish are extremely high quality. On top of that they are responsive to emails, do many giveaways and will always replace a fish that came dead on arrival. I’ve only bought from two places. Imperial Tropicals will always be my favorite. By mike being so transparent with his company, his feelings, and his work ethic it makes me as a consumer feel proud and honored to buy and be apart of his business. I sound like a groupie but it’s just the truth. You know when you have something good. I am so glad I took the first step and ordering from them when I had no idea the outcome. A year later I have been blessed with great fish and a even better company. Keep up the great work mike!!!

I went to this place and this guys are for real. There farm is big, and beautiful fishes. I recommend..❤

[@webera]

these guys are the best....

[@WildFishTanks]

Mike, Sierra and the rest of the team are passionate fish keepers and awesome humans! I’m lucky enough to own some of their mbuna and picked them up in person. They also do a livestream on their KZbin channel every Friday at noon, very informative. Great content Steve!

[@lh8956]

So nice to go for a vicarious tour within a place you buy fish from. Makes me want to place another order...

[@devinharris5967]

I have ordered fish from this company and my fish that I got was the best. I will always order from them and recommend them to all my friends.

[@prolificbreedaquatics]

Very nice Steve! Love seeing the inner working of high volume breeders. Keep up the great work

[@MikeRamos4224]

What a great job you did in showcasing Imperial Tropicals. I have fish from that farm and am very satisfied with their delivery process and the Africain Cichlids I have purchased. They are really a professional Team. Would recommend everyone to buy from them.

[@pabloarias7917]

I ordered 4 red shoulder severums, very nice fish, well packaged

[@Truecolorwayz662]

Very nice tour. I love imperial tropical.

[@rafierafie]

I've purchased from these guys before. They sell beautiful fish and offer 5 star customer service. I highly recommend them!

[@dereksmith5186]

Love Imperial Tropicals. Good people good fish, very nice video steve!

[@vintagewatchcollection815]

They are awesome! I bought two baby Jaguar Cichlids from them 4 months ago. Very healthy, they are still growing.

[@fccforlife2918]

Lempira Nando how far was you wit delivered

[@ericj1500]

They always have amazing fish , thanks for sharing your trip with us pal.

[@tntcichlids8015]

I rather get my fish when juveniles watch them grow its priceless the transformation

[@littlej3777]

I agree I like that too but they only have huge adults almost at their max size not too fond Of that!

[@tntcichlids8015]

@@littlej3777 ya bud I don't like buying them at 5 inch plus when I get mine they about 1 inch mark or 2ish I have gotten older juveniles to me they seem more aggressive I rather raise them myself and half the times they feed them color enhancing food they all colored up then come to find out their females and they listed males so now on if anyone does buy bigger fish I would tell them to sex them before selling them check the male holes underneath

[@williamamely7038]

Thank you for sharing this video with us. Imperial Tropicals, thanks for allowing us to get a peek into your fantastic facility. Your Africans are just gorgeous. The albino Rainbows are beautiful. I hope to check your website and buy some of your stock. I only wish more of the independent stores would pop up and stay in business, but their costs to do business can get completely out of control, especially rents and insurance costs. If only our Government could do better in protecting small business, as they do with Mega Corporations. After all, Small business is the life's blood of our economy, outnumber their big brother almost a thousand to one. Keep up the great work, Imperial. The Hobby is much better for it.

[@basschaser9356]

Thanks for showing us this. Love demasoni! More videos like this

[@reggiefishandfun770]

Wow Nice tank set up and uniform also happy fish keeping

[@RezidentZombie]

[@leonelsaravia8603]

Great fish purchased from them with no problem. Thanks for the video guys!

[@HUKIT.]

Great video! I was always curious how they caught fish in the outdoor ponds so I appreciate you getting that in there.

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Wish we could have actually done it in the video but their channel has some videos where they show it.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

[@norocketsciencebuild5371]

I'd love to see every single one of the ponds!

[@jamesoldham8496]

Very nice fish!

[@joebledsoe257]

I've got fish from them. Very Happy with the fish and Imperial. My Chocolate Cichlids stayed w/ me for about 10 years and I in turn sold tons of fry from them. Sorry Mike but I need to eat too.

[@NotYourAverageFishKeeper]

Been contemplating buying from these guys. This video helped me decide that I will buy from imperial tropicals.

[@huntingwolf20]

IMO, they are the best. Mike just seems like one of the best dudes definitely that breeds and sells fish. I will be buying from them until I can no longer do the hobby.

[@IsabellaM._]

WOW!Beautiful!

[@catfishcave379]

Wow! 5,000,000 gallons of fish... I think I need to expand my fishroom...

[@hihowego4133]

Looks like blue is a common denominator in fish buys. 157 ponds??!!! Wow!Thanks for the vid !

[@realpolicetalk]

I love this kind of stuff.

[@lakemalawifishkeeping2599]

[@tomexviii533]

[@benny9513]

Awesome video...

[@izhar4547]

Looks like a custom built PC in the white case behind Mike in the beginning. Cool RAM lights haha

[@GlassicGamer]

This place looks awesome. Maybe one day I will visit it :)

[@mranoraks5860]

A lot of people have brought this guy up saying he is really nice and knows his stuff and it's true so many pet stores are closing around my way in fl it sucks.

[@bennystropicalswimmigwolf8691]

Thank you for sharing nice fish

[@lizardking3979]

Awesome!!

[@mikep.9567]

Imperial Tropicals is the best. Ordered from them multiple times and wil conti ue to do so.

[@RonnieBrown223]

Nice will order soon

[@calvincunningham3516]

Awesome

[@ajSvenegas]

Nice video. Good behind the scenes! Let me guess, u wont holding pools now in your backyard??😀😀

[@g41thomas]

Insane ,,,,,,,,,!

[@Asef2013]

Nice 🐠 fishs

[@scareface1197]

Gonna order a handfull of rainbows from them

[@KeepingItFishy]

Only place I buy my fish 💯

[@MisfitTonyX138]

So did I understand you correctly that you don’t suggest keeping Tropheus Moorii with Peacocks? Just need to know because I have 2 Tropheus and 5 Peacocks with a yellow lab and a couple assorted African cichlids in a 90 gallon tank...about 20 fish in total including a feather fin lace catfish and a green phantom pleco and a vampire pleco..

[@ay-ay-rons3897]

Buy from them all the time their african cichlids are great quality.

[@godel_yekk]

i love this

[@jwcollect6642]

Hey Steve, Good video. Would also like to see an update of your tanks. Thanks

[@chihuahuaverde425]

Imperial Tropicals has a really nice website.

[@hemotsan]

Nice

[@moutaintopfish1597]

I need to go visit my uncle who lives in Lakeland and check this out

[@spoiledfish6643]

Would love to visit them

[@SteenfottAquatics]

Love their rainbowfish

[@ReviScratcher]

Is that where you get your steen? Lol

[@ReviScratcher]

Cause i always thought about that and would make sense

[@dbielby]

I'm wondering if Imperial Tropicals has alligator problems in those ponds and how do they manage that (same question with pythons). Also, do they heat the ponds during winter time? How cold do they let the ponds get?

[@adeelshaikh2129]

Nice people

[@AkinaGod]

I really want to do this on a small scale inside a greenhouse I have. But I'd like the possibility of expanding once I get good at this. Can you tell me where you got those large tanks/containers to store your fish?

[@jimmylee8459]

I would love to work there for FREE HONESTLY !!! So much someone could learn.

[@travisc2094]

Where do you get the foam blocks for your filters?

[@VEEZER1]

So cool knowing my Star Sapphirez were in that net and now sitting in my house lol. What material are those sponge filters? Thx!

[@murisinelagoseaquarios]

Lindos peixes ,gostei dos tanque muito bom parabéns 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@klove7365]

I was hoping you guys would show some Guppies

[@LongIslandFishGuy]

What are the fish at 14:00? I tried looking for them on the website and couldn't find them.

[@charlieking3746]

Long Island Fish Guy me too

[@LongIslandFishGuy]

Charlie King I spoke to them on Facebook. It’s part of Mike’s private collection 😩 Not for sale

[@niccoloparan8603]

Any tutorial on how to make that pond?

[@graphite2786]

I didn't get the name of the cichlid that was extinct in the wild (Magenzi ?) . Steve would it be possible to give the scientific name? I'd really like to do my bit for conservation and keep some breeding pairs.

[@StevePolandAquatics]

If you turn on subtitles I put all of the scientific names in there

[@graphite2786]

Steve Poland Aquatics Aah- yeah! Thanks!

[@akhtarkh]

Isn't that constant high noise of aeration stressful for the fish?

[@joe1932]

What type of tubs are they using for the fish?

[@TheTradesmanLU2001]

Why am I not seeing all these particular fish on the website?

[@tangok5677]

I love fish so much I would be working for free 😊

[@twasbrillig33]

i really appreciate what they do but by the same token it's sad that the mom and pop aquarium stores have nearly faded out of existence, i worked at three of them as a teenager which supported my hobby at the time.

[@mrpressley357]

Yeah took about six months for mine to chip

[@ReviScratcher]

Ive met this guy in person hes always so serious and comes off as a little unapproachable in my opinion but for sure a good business man ill give him that

[@youtubebug8811]

My electric blue african chichlds fish turned to black. Please give me suggestion why this happend. I am from india. Plz sir reply.

[@fishloverswithdebraj8726]

Nice... #FishLoversWithDebraj

[@jefferrer3722]

I leave up the street can I come buy personally?

[@declanbowles661]

Do ye ship fish to Ireland

[@Mythrays1]

0:22 someone's a gamer.

[@riftcultureuk3729]

Thanks for sharing. Can I ask. Why do even the wholesalers call it the electric blue ahli. When its not an ahli. Its a fryrei. Scianochromis ahli is very rare in the hobby.

[@postoloskotsakis589]

Unbelievable

[@ryanwakebradtelle8682]

I wonder what it would take to cut out the middleman and shipping AKA UPS and FedEx, I've seen fish delivery trucks before but I'm not sure that would work on a larger scale. I think local fish stores should look into delivery, I know it's not necessary if it's local then they can just drive to the store most of the times, but then they can figure out how much it would cost to ship further and further distances. I could schedule an appointment and, get my fish delivered that day or anytime in the next week, I might not have the time or want to drive 1-3 hours, but the fish store might have five jobs in that area. Or maybe aquarium Co-op could get a fleet of automated driving cars aquarium Co-op could get a fleet of self-driving cars once Tesla is ready to do that.. And if it's local they might even be willing to stay 20 minutes to get advice, they might even have products in the van, like I might want a plant or a water jet. It wouldn't take hat much space. I mean pizza stores have this ironed out, and I don't think it would be that much more expensive it might even be cheaper to get it shipped locally then you get it shipped through FedEx.

[@hanthi9463]

Do they ship to Canada?
