Oscars always remind me of mafia thugs i can imagine them speaking in a italian accent

[@stoneysscapes7544]

Hilarious and the best comparison of the Oscar " Hey Boss , looks like you know who is playing interior Decorating again " ,!

[@Slawsers]

@@stoneysscapes7544 lol and the arrowana is the mafia boss

[@gavinfitch2928]

The arrowana is the yakuza boss who’s over seeing the Italians and making sure no one messes with his pleco cleaning business

[@pawelmatus]

Fugetta bout it

[@mavericuk1]

given me a new take on "sleeping with the fishes"

[@00negative]

Hahaha, loved the dramatic camera turn and zoom in @ 8:24.

[@Alex_Del]

Loving the daily videos! We don't need any fancy editing or anything this is perfect 👌

[@rayplant8114]

The Severums are amazing from what they were! Beautiful 🐠

[@forrestgold4322]

Blood red parrots? That’s my guess. They do really well with Oscars. Tank looks great!🤙🏻

[@urmum7603]

King kongs parrots might be better

[@sekaiomiruhitokaminoyume5426]

Yo man , happy to see your videos, I’m back in the hobby after depression, I’m on a big project, gonna turn my house into a tropical forest , starting with my bedroom and my fish tank , I remembered your videos and this give me the inspiration to get back at it . 🎉🎉

[@urbansk8r231]

I feel ya.. cause I still suffer depression an anxiety. So what i do is keep my mind busy Or dive in to big projects or learn new thinks ect This hobby is great for that. Good to see back in this facinating hobby.

[@sekaiomiruhitokaminoyume5426]

@@urbansk8r231 right ! Stay focused no matter family trouble or els , if we keep getting busy it will worth it 🔥🧠

[@simeonivanov4375]

How about you document the process of your project.... I'd watch that

[@zwilnik]

Scape looks really good. Only thing would be having the bubblers more in the back, but that's really minor. All I'll guess on new fish is SAmarican ciclids of one kind or another!

[@62873milehi420]

The albino Oscar, Lil Joey ! OFR

[@RooStarFishTanks]

Oscar name - SNOW WHITE Idea for the tank!? The left lower 6 or 8 inches that is white (under glass) Needs a log, rocks or aqua decor strip. Love your tanks and videos!!!

[@magentalesagegaming433]

I absolutely 💯 love the air bubbles in any tank.

[@jlo3688]

Love where the Oscar Aquarium is going!!!! Love the bubbles too

[@mom.p3818]

I love that new Oscar! Also, you asked what you were thinking of doing with the tank. I think it needs to have a little more light to the back too. It will show off your babies better. You can't see the arrowana very good when he swims to the back. As well, the aerators seem to separate the fish and make the tank look smaller where they're at. Maybe move them back a bit. Sorry, you asked us.☺️ I really love what you do with your tanks. You're awesome!! Keep going.

[@SillySalmon94]

Ya know who's missed!!! FRANK! What a stud!

[@sizzleiguanaclick]

Love the new addition; my only qualm is can you film the behaviour for longer when you add the next fish. I love watching new arrivals settle in and the tank mates getting used to them Also shoutout Mr Bicher; the best fish

[@user-zb5xw1kz7f]

FISH Are Beautiful, And Aquqrium is

[@kennyschindler4203]

Tia Silk Flowerhorn proving the point that they can be kept with other fish given the proper environment

[@JESUSHEALSYOUNOW]

It looks really good, but hide the air lines for the air rators

[@stacey9730]

Looks great

[@kennethgodfrey4796]

Appreciate ya Bro for stepping up on getting more videos out. 💪

[@seanhayden6024]

Looks so cool with the plants n wood!! A school of tinfoil barbs would look awesome in there

[@caseyruegsegger282]

Looks great. You’re most definitely adding Uaru.

[@MimiMcWil]

I really like the plants! I like this a lot!

[@Matthew_Henley]

Love how they follow you

[@joe48]

It looks great

[@aprilfurcean8302]

I love the way this tank looks now!!!

[@mdt498]

You should hide the air line tubes through the rocks and wood, then have it come up behind the plants.

[@cthgbs6267]

I remember Joey bought 6 ocsar babies a few years back. Now they all have grown up beautifully. But there are only 5 of them in the tank, where is the other one?

[@reeceevans7084]

I know the rays have always known captivity and tank conditions but wouldn't it be worth trying some catappa leaves and other things to create a blackwater environment as a way to encourage breeding? 🤔

[@nathanial_summers]

My guess for fish to be added,10-12 clown loaches for the bottom of the tank and maybe some kissing gourami's or black banded leporinus if you can find them.

[@MrMartinez7]

It's irritating how clean your tanks always are... Love your videos. Shout out from Denver Colorado

[@timhorvat7432]

Get a green terror cichlid. I’ve had one for 3 years now and he’s such a fun fish to keep tons of personality and an absolute stunner of a fish

[@iBeHampe]

I’ve been watching this channel since you built the 2000, that build was the second video i watched! I really like this scape! And i too enjoy the bubbles! haha I know you’re planning on adding more fish.. personally i like when there are just a few big fish with a lot of swimming space! But i would love if you added a few smaller cichlids that don’t make the tank look too crowded! Or maybe a pair of Jaguar Cichlids, or cool oddballs that will stay in and around the wood, like a Black Ghost Knife, or Fire Eel!

[@syedomarjunaid2750]

Add torpedo barbs they're schooling, will look nice

[@antoinehage3762]

Love the tank, it looks increddible now. I would love to see some peacock bass in there.

[@summersands8105]

WOW...the Asian Arrowanna must like it. Look at the color. Beautiful.

[@tacticalwarriorviking5089]

Nice addition. I do like the plants. They bring some vertical visuals, which it needed i think. So a little posturing when he got added but looks good. Id be curious how it's going after a few days.

[@skintrance]

love you joey

[@dennisvanopstal7360]

I would add a few more oscars creating a whole pack of them. I wouldnt add any plastic plants at all. Just hardscape. And i agree that the bubbles should be more in the back as others mentioned. For fish Perhaps a school of silver dollars.

[@susanhardy9063]

Tank is looking awesome the fish are beautiful

[@user-yv9rh1xm5t]

How do you escape jeeha

[@ArjanKop]

A small group of Metynnis or Myleus would look nice and they should do well with your Astronotus.

[@tibbynibby]

The way they’re all checking each other out 🤣

[@leebusuttil6693]

Love the plants A splash of BLUE with electric blue acara

[@ajnaps7741]

As always looking incredible. Get a bunch of geophagus species, like 7-9 each 😊 Thanks for inspiration, Keep it up.

[@joefly6483]

It looks like they have accepted the little guy. If they don't start showing signs of aggression right away, they are good. At least that is my experience with Oscars. And my guess for the next fish you will be adding... Cuban cichlids. They are very rare in the North American fish keeping community, and they check all the boxes. They can be kept with severum, they are big enough to be kept with arowana, and they can compete with Oscars.

[@pgdark1946]

Love the new look. Fake plants look fine. Aerators are cool too. I hope you add salvini’s, electric blue jack depseys, or green terrors.

[@torquendirty2186]

Joey add a Jack Dempsey, or Green or Red Terror. They're so if you're looking for colour they smash it! Or go central and get a nicaraguan cichlid, one of my favourites, i just need a tank suitable for em. O.o or albino heckelii

[@JoeButler02]

I think the scape looks great as it is. Like someone else mentioned, I'd probably just move the bubblers to the back corners.

[@danielletracyann]

Love Tamara’s videos 😂

[@thekingofdiy]

Ya, she films a lot doesn’t she!? 😂

[@danielletracyann]

@@thekingofdiy haha she does! Hopefully she keeps up with it! Her vids are fun.

[@2577tritonblue]

Hey Joey, love your vids. Good editions to the 2,000 gal. would be Jack Dempsey & Red Devil cichlids & to add shimmer and movement, silver dollars or red hooks.

[@calichai]

I’d like to see some blues/greens in there. Perhaps Geophagus Surinamensis.

[@mikejurnak4253]

The 2k looks Great. You should name the new one Lil Mac 😂

[@kehw]

Some blue gorillas Umbee's would look amazing in here.

[@amx1820]

Loving the asian arowana+american cichlid community. How about adding electric blue jack dempsey (or natural jd), green terror, cuban cichlids, something along those lines, colorful and semi-aggressive but not larger than the oscar??

[@kennyschindler4203]

Should definitely find Captain Hook and bring him back, would definitely be a great addition to the 2000

[@kennyschindler4203]

I love the air as well

[@jakeozoneone]

I think the plants look awesome. If your still not sold on them buy another smaller type that fits the scape and add them as well. Maybe they don’t look as good as you want because it’s just one type of plant! Keep up the awesome work Joey, I’ll be on the look out for my next notification! 😂

[@Slacking02]

Thumbs up if y’all remember Frank and Buddy tho!

[@shannonstibor6967]

I'm curious where Frank would be if he was still here with us. Buddy would obviously be in the 2000. Speaking of, it looks great. I don't know why, but I'm just really missing Frank and his personality today. I'm going to have to find my Frank shirt. Got packed away in a move and buried somewhere at my mom's. Two moves in three months... some stuff is still stuck there 😅

[@brianp6180]

Looks awesome except the air bubbles. I would move them to the back or better yet get a nice Sicce power head or 2 for movement and air.

[@aameerkhan8043]

That decor reminds me of yours gold fish tank.., and if I want to add next cichlid I would add blood parrots .

[@OgGuaps]

Put rocks around the bubbler on the left to hide it a bit

[@Piske_5]

A group of True Parrot Cichlids (Hoplarchus psittacus) would look awesome in the 2000gal.

[@Roboworm99]

Fire Eel, Texas Cichlid, Jack Dempsey

[@travismazza6522]

Add some jack dempseys. Maybe a properly breed electric JD would be awesome.

[@djgremlin5830]

i love them air bubbles they add to the tank ;0

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Giant tin foil barbs would look good in there with the Oscar's and the arrow....

[@showmeurtds7573]

I've been waiting to see you grow out a TSNxRTC hybrid

[@varanidguy]

Your Canadian accent came through at the end there lol "It's so easy to spot him, eh?" It's great

[@craigurrito]

This is the best the tank has ever looked

[@gamingpanther7773]

Some clown knife can be a great addition to the large tank.

[@lainightwalker5495]

i love the tank. en welcome Midgit to the big tank

[@chrisjoneslovell9505]

Some nice mature geo’s

[@marknealen3140]

Plant’s look great in this video.

[@Anthonypiranha]

Clown knife or ghost knife fish would look mint in there

[@seanedwards7687]

Add moss to the wood I love that tank

[@codyrankin3577]

i have texas with my 2 oscars and the blue and red/orange looks awesome together

[@robbienatale5469]

You should get peacock bass and take the severums out to breed

[@jimmyjames7192]

Think a big fire eel would look awesome in there

[@Famousfire97]

A smaller species off peacock bass fitt really well with what you are going with

[@WIHCAPlaceofGrace]

Some big bala sharks might look cool!

[@Dropquickmurphy]

Green Texas get pretty big and have really nice colour also maybe a starry night the white spots and the eyes would pop in the tank

[@dwendel8512]

A peacock bass would be so cool

[@rossdingle6236]

carpintis cichlid might look good as a contrast in colour, or a yellow midas

[@Daniel-cs5bl]

Have you ever thought of a wave maker instead of the bubbles? It would look awesome in this tank

[@randybreeden8965]

Electric Blue Jack Dempseys or Texas (Red Devil) Cichlids would bring some color and size

[@janepa5596]

love the new oscar, jack dempsey cichlids or green terrors would be cool in there

[@AndNowThis..]

@TheKingOfDIY, when a fish is being quarantined is it ok to treat the water with meds (even if they have no problems or symptoms) to make absolutely sure nothing’s wrong with them?

[@geraldhand5047]

I live in a smaller town next to Oxford Ms,a college town (Ole Miss) a friend of mine sold tropical fish, I would get African cichlids, Oscar's, plecos, iridescent sharks, and some others ( at different times of course) and grow them out in my 150, which was a huge tank to me and trade them back to him, the college students loved the huge fish, so he could get a premium price for these large healthy fish, i miss my tank 😢

[@tonynguyen9641]

ST Datnoid and Flagtail

[@rocky4udude]

Datnoid will look good with the rest of slow moving fish

[@the1sdelung]

He looks like a Geoffrey, i think a black belt cichlid would look great in there, or a zebrina pike (i just ordered one yesterday) plus some uaru and other vieja like the argentea

[@soumyajitmandal6028]

I'd advise against the argentea. They're hyper aggressive and extremely picky eaters (also need a lot of vegetable matters). My argentea beat up 2 oscars bigger than him, both oscars were 12"+ and the argentea was around 9". Although a 2000 gallon tank should diffuse out aggression, but feeding would be a pain.

[@sachaschnauzer2903]

I know you like them, but Can you try air stones one in each back corner, wont be so distracting from fish

[@tichon1981]

Blue Umbee or Peacock Bass, maybe? :)

[@omarsolom]

Do you ever think about doing an African Cichlids tank?

[@aarifam]

This is my kind of setup, no matter what people say, I opt for Ease of living for the fish over the natural looks

[@RaccoonCreekAquatics]

I had an Oscar for a long time. He was like a dog. His name was Oscar. Creative, I know

[@Slawsers]

Did you walk him on a leash?

[@johndegroot7484]

I have 4 albino super reds I'm wanting to get rid of they are the extra from me getting a pair. I'm in IL. They are a great size also and look great and they love to eat lol

[@Crybaby-Media]

Salvinis are very aggressive , but maybe the most beautiful SA cichlid . I wonder how one would do in a tank that size. If it would chill him out. Also Chocolate cichlids are nice , huge cichlids.

[@FishTankFrank13]

Albino Oscar looks amazing in his new home 🔥

[@zebedeemadness2672]

For a catfish maybe a Giraffe-nosed Catfish (Auchenoglanis occidentalis), on average around 30-inch's in length give or take, they aren't known for their aggression, the fish you have won't be on there menu, with there mouth size and that they are typically substrate sifters for invertebrates, mollusks, worms etc.
