Did Joey show up unexpectedly or did store have advanced notice?

[@thekingofdiy]

Usually, Every store knows I’m coming in advance. I usually just don’t know the exact day or time. With that said, I have absolutely zero interest in making a store look bad or focusing on a dead fish or 2. Who knows when a fish came in or the condition it arrived in, for example. If I see anything that needs to be addressed, I do it off camera. With thousands of fish coming and going daily, there is bound to be a bad tank or more. I usually make sure they know I’m coming so they can look their best. My job is to promote the hobby, not bash stores. I’ve been in the hobby too long to know a bit too much behind the scenes with importing to assume a skinny fish or dead fish is the stores fault.

[@Native_ichthyology]

​@@thekingofdiyking for a reason 🎉

[@kristopherblyth2200]

I always like seeing different stores.. however it's a peeve of mine when I see they don't have prices. How hard is it to type out prices/type of fish and slap it on or write them on the glass (it can come off..). That goes for any kind of store I go to.

[@aquarium.talktv]

This store is crazy!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@mrcarl5481]

I love fish store videos like this as I simply don’t have anything in the same country here in nz, let alone locally

[@66bigbuds]

The west coast is covered with fish stores and wholesalers. They got to have to step up their game out there.

[@titoteets8917]

that pleco @ 1:25 tho 😏

[@goaliegeorge]

I think it knew what it was doing….

[@andyaquatics]

I get a lot of my fish from Vanstar. They are a big wholesaler across the US

[@barat5943]

You better send a couple of those pike home!

[@crowbarreza]

Im loving that flagtail, i had one about 1 inch

[@andrewherrera4297]

Joey you had me cracking up when you pointed out the discus on its side.

[@snowleopard1831]

Aquarium hobby and stores for it in the biggest desert 🏜 in the US! What next?!

[@anonamoss78]

Their tank bottom flooring really sets off the tank actually, looks pretty cool. EDIT: referring to the black with white lines NOT white with black lines. Did one of those puffers need a tooth trim? his/her teeth looked hella long

[@tuttabob]

Hope you got Wolf fish.if not please get one ..

[@Daniel_e46]

Thats insane :D the polypterus sp. Gisela 😍

[@martinmulkeen-suarez798]

Joey, pikes!!!!

[@andbenitz]

The fish you did not recongnize around 8 mins are Jacundás (as we call here in Brazil), Crenicichla zebrina. I believe you call them zebra pike cichlid.

[@gregthomas2904]

Amazing for the fact that they seem to normally stock quantities that Joey would buy and not have to order.

[@ekramali2456]

Im sure the last tanm werent silver arowanas they were albino arowanas as the yellow colouring. The piraiba and tigirnus catfish stunning just got some myself 👍

[@misterfister7262]

I didn't know you're Canadian

[@JustinFromThe206]

🤦‍♂

[@noelevnell3602]

Where did the squid go? I haven't seen it in a while

[@allapologies648]

He rehomed it because he wasn’t doing well with the late night feeding schedule.

[@Blessings4730]

No prices on the tanks means probably insanely expensive

[@kazkorianor]

Some tanks looks a bit to much filled but yeah it’s a store I get it

[@alexguitar841]

Damn he should've gone to CK aquarium the next town over in West Covina.

[@mkvp3794]

He did an event there this past sunday

[@alexguitar841]

@@mkvp3794 damn sorry I missed it

[@TMKAquarist]

he did :) video out soon too

[@The_Zilli]

im curious just how often these fish are sold, especially the more expensive ones. Id hate to think that they would spend their entire lives in that tank waiting to find a home.

[@arelfarrington9943]

Whats the name of the 20k fish?

[@CMillares64]

Xanthic Datnoid

[@arelfarrington9943]

@@CMillares64 than you!

Hey, That’s my lfs.

[@ArowanaD7]

Vietnamese style of background

[@Salamanders1018]

@predatory fins should get that platinum pima, you should tell him about it

[@jokerbookshop]

Do they have any discus fish? 🐠

[@TheFishSpot42]

If it was really a Platinum Arapaima Rod from Predatory Fins would be already owning it.... Nothing more to say

Where can i buy guppies online in canada ? And also Canadian bred mollies ?

29th comment 😎

[@66bigbuds]

I won't buy from any place that doesn't post prices.

[@mannyramirez2238]

Yeah dude smoking crack if he thinks that ugly fish is worth the much !

[@leighord7341]

the only reason that pima looks platinum is because off the light colour off the tank

[@NorthmanHomestead]

Dude your in LA they don't need to know how much it cost.

[@johnworthington7369]

The datnoid is not going to be worth as much as you think it is most likely be considered a b-class it has a black spot which makes it worse a lot less

[@hyrdocomputing]

He casually goes past the red line puffers not realising their value.

[@Mischka_De_Baer]

They are dying, there is no value left

[@anvil9263]

You know a store is amazing when your not losing attention to a single tank

[@SalvadorQuinn]

Damn Joey saying that they rare and exciting fish just means it’s gonna be a good video 😂

[@audrisampson]

These fish are the if you have to ask its too expensive lol.

[@thekingofdiy]

True

[@PaulKeil]

So awesome to see so many of the same species in the same tank. Not something you see very often but it's beautiful.

[@xionglor3315]

California is hot until mid November or towards the end of November

[@danielletracyann]

Yeh tire track eels.

[@trinitysmate]

The lack of price tags would drive me nuts!

[@himfish1]

i like orange chicken tank

[@coleevans1414]

Great video!

[@ReelHardFishing]

That moray is brackish water

[@BlueLighteningGojo]

[@aquarium.talktv]

Gotta learn from the 🐐

[@hobodarkness7696]

Howdy

[@reddysuryadi]

the best fish store 😍😍😍😍😍,love it

[@slick66]

Serious question, is that just rolled vinyl flooring in the bottom of those tanks?

[@Fish_and_things_with_lando]

🤩

[@jakegrow5790]

Look like juvenile tiretrack eels to me. Also I agree with your pronunciation of bichir. I prefer bye-sure as well

[@masiehmitra8273]

What is the orange fish called?? And why is it $20k?

[@TMKAquarist]

it's a xantic datnoid. a very rare genetic oddball, only expensive due to its rarity

[@Z3US_GAMING11]

JOEY HAD ONE OF THE BEST PACK HUNTERS IN WATER RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM AND ALL BRO WAS INTERESTED IN WERE THE SHRIMP!!!!! TYPICAL JOEY

[@Johnny-qe7bv]

Joey, I think you should get an aero. Wanna a little one like that and grow themouth or 2. That story your rat has some cool fish. I never seen either.

[@josephfuntanilla8276]

What your friend KZbin channel name

[@hellsknight57]

Rod from predatory fins needs the Pima to grow out

[@aneilpope]

Is that @tmkaquarist?!

[@TMKAquarist]

sure is :D

[@Risici_Bloom]

Wonder what the brand racks they have their tanks on.

[@TheSavageJCE]

Public comment was added to the comment section of this video. Just for the engagement

[@ashleyfriscia7239]

Beautiful arowana but aren’t they illegal in CA/US?

[@Crotalus18]

Can anybody ID the fish at 7:55 and the ones at 10:55?

[@josephfuntanilla8276]

What happen to your discus

[@travelbigchallenge]

Get some datnoids! We never seen you get datnoids!

[@wolfyeverywhere]

[@inviish]

It’s a 30 minute drive from dtla

[@monsterfishfreak]

He really needs a website. I really wanted to check his store out

[@johnwilkerson9804]

[@jonathansommer2687]

I love the black arowana!

[@grizzlyoutdoors4612]

[@sclsolutions]

20k for that Datnoid is a super bargain!!!

Word a week without a video and it’s this

[@mattkase8880]

The spiny eels looked possibly like Mastacembelus Favus or Armatus

[@ericang834]

Armatus but from India a different variant

[@aaronfiddy4260]

Prefer gulper catfish

[@madeintexas3d442]

Hopefully Joey got another bicher shark. I'm sure his could use a friend lol. He could probably breed them.

[@stoneysscapes7544]

Incredible amount of some very expensive , very rare and very glad I will never be shopping there too 😏

[@jlo3688]

Epic shop

[@FireyGalnLynxnJet]

What was those plecos? The black ones with the red on the fins? Those are stunning. I'd love to look into those.

@@robfigueroa5457 awesome thank you 😊

[@poormangarden4614]

Why doesn't the store have price of the fish on the tank or on the sticker but besides that they have some cool fish 👍🏽

[@guacguy]

this is literally the place of my dreams

[@zwilnik]

That's not LA weather, that's Inland Empire weather. Los Angeles metro is BIG. It'd take me a couple hours to get up there. Nice shop, though.

[@thekingofdiy]

Took me 18 hours to get there each way haha

[@TMKAquarist]

20 mins east of DTLA :)

[@ChristianLawrence-e8y]

Awesome Stocks! Real Deal!

[@kylegawron5358]

[@SnapeKillsDumbledore2k10]

The bichir he said was endlicheri is actually ansorgii one of the species known to grow MASSIVE. He also had teugelsi(the yellow bellied ones) teugelsi are one of the largest top jaw bichirs.
