EVERY AQUARIUM WAS INSANE!!! Fish store tour

[@shawnmorris5693]

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 🎉

[@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.

[@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.

[@wolfyeverywhere]

what a great year it’s been, wishing you and Apple a safe trip back home!

[@carl5481]

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

[@jakegrow5790]

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

[@snowleopard1831]

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

[@jonathansommer2687]

I love the black arowana!

[@brennanory2845]

That fish store looks awesome!!!

[@josepheyre7761]

I hope you went to 7 Seas Tropical Fish in San Pedro and Nolan's Aquarium in Santa Ana while you were here too.

[@jlo3688]

Epic shop

[@coleevans1414]

Great video!

[@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.

[@racereadypowerhouse]

Lol so awesome seeing Gord learning from the King!

[@aquarium.talktv]

Gotta learn from the 🐐

[@kylegawron5358]

puffer fish are too cute

[@anvil9263]

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

[@mattkase8880]

The spiny eels looked possibly like Mastacembelus Favus or Armatus

[@ericang834]

Armatus but from India a different variant

[@66bigbuds]

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

[@aquarium.talktv]

This store is crazy!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@andrewherrera4297]

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

[@andyaquatics]

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

[@xionglor3315]

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

[@reddysuryadi]

the best fish store 😍😍😍😍😍,love it

[@mikevelez8109]

all tanks are amazing,, thanks

[@Risici_Bloom]

Wonder what the brand racks they have their tanks on.

[@philcavallini9657]

Eric is the man and his pricing is fair and has knowledgeable people working with him! Alot better then that circus in NY !

[@ericang834]

Thank you😊

[@crowbarreza]

Im loving that flagtail, i had one about 1 inch

[@SalvadorQuinn]

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

[@ChristianLawrence-e8y]

Awesome Stocks! Real Deal!

[@danielletracyann]

Yeh tire track eels.

[@barat5943]

You better send a couple of those pike home!

[@joseloera699]

U should get a Goliath tiger fish ?? I would love too you grow one out

[@E46_2ndA]

My favorite fish store to go to 💯💯. And my wallet is unlucky hahaha it’s so pricey at vanstar but they have the best fish selection. Thanks for the Cali love Joey!

[@hyrdocomputing]

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

[@Mischka_De_Baer]

They are dying, there is no value left

[@jakewebber6177]

Word a week without a video and it’s this

[@Daniel_e46]

Thats insane :D the polypterus sp. Gisela 😍

[@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.

[@slick66]

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

[@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]

L25 scarlet pleco

[@FireyGalnLynxnJet]

@@robfigueroa5457 awesome thank you 😊

[@trinitysmate]

The lack of price tags would drive me nuts!

[@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

[@hellsknight57]

Rod from predatory fins needs the Pima to grow out

[@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.

[@tuttabob]

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

[@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 👍

[@sujoychakraborty6128]

@TMKAquarist this guy is a legend! I don’t know whether some of the viewers know him or not, but this guy has an amazing knowledge about freshwater aquatics …❤

[@gregthomas2904]

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

[@josephfuntanilla8276]

I’m in L.A. today. I can’t believe I breathe the same air as the the king 👑

[@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

[@bredixon7685]

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

[@ashleyfriscia7239]

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

[@fcasillas3963]

You in Los Angeles are you doing a meet and greet

[@thekingofdiy]

I did! its already done!

[@madeintexas3d442]

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

[@inviish]

It’s a 30 minute drive from dtla

[@phomidable99]

Looks like you stoped by my second Home

[@DoloVik]

Joey bruh that tiger Murray eel in that 20k datnoid tank is so insane😭.

[@johnwilkerson9804]

Omg how much are the bichirs

[@Blessings4730]

No prices on the tanks means probably insanely expensive

[@BlueLighteningGojo]

In Los Angeles? It's 84° in San Francisco.

[@kazkorianor]

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

[@Fish_and_things_with_lando]

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 :)

[@hobodarkness7696]

Howdy

[@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

[@jacobwright2029]

@predatoryfins did you guys see that PLATINUM ARAPAIMA 😮

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.

[@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 👍🏽

[@Crotalus18]

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

[@aaronfiddy4260]

Prefer gulper catfish

[@arelfarrington9943]

Whats the name of the 20k fish?

[@CMillares64]

Xanthic Datnoid

[@arelfarrington9943]

@@CMillares64 than you!

[@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.
