‎ Ruinemans Aquarium Fish has facilities in both the Netherlands and the United States, and Cory and ‪@DannysAquariums‬ had a chance to tour their Holland location. Their wholesale facility has more 3000 aquariums with tons of rare fish, but Cory was especially interested in the technology and systems they have in place to deliver the healthiest fish possible - such as lots of staff, detailed documentation, air-driven filtration with deep sand beds, and manual water changes to observe the fish. Their floors have trenches and drains to allow easy water changes, they use heat recovery systems to extract heat from waste water, and their solar panels help to save electricity.

*Cory was clearly impressed by Ruinemans Aquarium Fish. Which part of the tour stood out most to you?*

[@BDWANNEMACHER]

I thought the air driven filtration method and how that allowed them to do it on such a scale was really cool and wanted a closer look.

[@Loralanthalas]

@ 6:06 I really could picture Cory climbing into rafters like a crazy man to get a birds eye view of all the fish tanks...

[@heatherguy6197]

The goldies!!

[@abbyahmad9984]

Do you has the link to buy the fish?

[@DannysAquariums]

This place was quite impressive! So thankful we got to see one of their facilities. 🙌😍

[@InfinityPets]

Thats was a surprise seeing you there in the beginning LOL. I used to watch you back in the day when you made videos on your freshwater tanks/when I was more active in the hobby! Im glad to see that you’ve and your channel have grown :)

[@stebe12]

I love seeing other companies taking pride in their work. That is why I love the Co Op!

[@mattwest8073]

The scene zoom in and cut to the goldfish at 6:45 was amazing 😍 Great work by the videography and editing team!

[@simonbuys]

Being from Belgium it is nice to see some cool places that are closer to me then the US. Thank you for all the hard work you do to show us these places.

[@johnc6228]

Cory, no problem. I'll watch a 7 hour video.

[@IsureamFalling]

Gotta love them Cory’s

[@nikhilkharkar1753]

Documentation, use of Red Tags, trace back system and manual water changes…. Simply phenomenal for the size and the systems in place!!!!

[@SportsNBourbon]

I am very blessed to have them as a supplier

[@catherinesanchez1185]

This looks amazing . I love the organization and the filter system with the sand looked incredible!

[@mrstreammaster]

Cory, is there any chance you can demonstrate how to build those sand bed filters. They look very efficient.

[@audrameyer9558]

That was so very cool! I really like how the deep sand bed looked as a backdrop. It was nteresting to look at and serves a huge purpose. I am enjoying seeing how truly happy you are in these recent posts. 😊 Can't hide that glimmer you get in your eyes 👀 ✨️

[@klausoxen6597]

Jap, "Ruinemans", Netherlands is really Amazing!!! Another great & biggest european Wholesalers (in Germany, near Frankfurt/Main, Hessia) are "Aquariun Dietzenbach" & "Aquarium Glaser"! Many greets from Germany 😊

[@mattwest8073]

I saw Brochis Multiradiatus XL and Flagtail Corys at one of the LFS in the DC metro area yesterday 😍 In fact, I fave seen every one of those Cory species in the last 4 mo. Great time to support your LFS!

[@jackoghost]

those armored plated cory's looked so cool im most impressed with how quiet it actually is

[@fishypetkeeping]

This is amazing! Props to them taking such good care of the animals 🤗

[@aquariumplantman]

Wow, I love these deeper looks into the industry around the world. The immensity of that place is spectacular& would be so interesting to visit. Awesomeness

[@Pokeepogo]

I used to work at Preuss Pets in Michigan and we would get stuff from Ruineman's every other week. Super cool to see it in action

[@erikabearden608]

Very very cool, thanks for this! Sand filter background is very interesting!

[@vicaroo001]

WOW! I could spend a week in there lookin' around!

[@JohnWood-tk1ge]

Cory when I met you at the last Aquatic Experience I spent a long time talking with your wife about my niece working on becoming a Veterinarian. She has completed becoming a Veterinary technician and more schooling, tonight I drive her to JFK airport to go to Veterinary college. I don’t know if she will remember the conversation but she seemed very interested. I was the guy with the wheel chair that brought you the Reese’s and Snickers,please let her know that it is happening.

[@dorkula]

Cory ate some of those snickers on the flight home that trip. I’m happy to read your niece is continuing her education and still as passionate about animals.

[@JohnWood-tk1ge]

@@dorkula thank you! Meeting you both was the highlight of my fish keeping experience!

[@dn7096_]

I love those corys in the beginning!! It got me thinking I’d love to see you guys do a video on how big schools of different types of fish school.

[@majormorkiss]

Very cool wholesaler! Also super impressed at how many rare species they carry

[@vampgaia]

Impressive. I like their use of deep gravel. Very interesting.

[@sugarmuffin319]

That was so much fun to watch! Thanks for the virtual tour! 🐠💕

[@Venividivicismike]

Nice to see that you are in The Netherlands now 👍🏻

[@wendygillard2133]

Impressed by how clean & well run the facility looks.

[@debhalld9794]

Wow! 🐟Thanks for sharing this with us!!!

[@austinmcgoldrick4436]

When you zoomed into the goldfish and it cut to you standing close to the tank… INSANE! Super sick edit!

[@thepogguys]

Aquarium co op is absolutely great!

[@williamamely7038]

Awesome facility!! Nice, and healthy. Fantastic variety of beautiful fish. Wish I could visit it, myself. Thanks for sharing.

[@urbansk8r231]

Hi Cory, I really appreciate you for showing us thing we may never get see (the behind the scenes tour) in a perfect world I hope all wholesalers will be like that. Wow! they do care about there product. After all they are living creatures they're dealing with. What would Dean think of that?..

[@lyrieth8833]

I really enjoyed seeing this place, it was impressive in many ways!! You are also right about the goldfish you want to know a store/company just look at them, these little goldies were a happy shiny lot!

[@josephmattos312]

Great video like always!👍🏻

[@RenegadeLK]

Simply breathtaking!

[@HappyHarpGirl]

A lot of my local fish stores get their fish from this wholesaler. They always have healthy, great looking fish. 😎👍

[@AlpacaMade]

That's one impressive wholesaler! I do feel for the employees on concrete all day long, very tough on the lower back and legs. Thanks Cory 👍

[@garygregory8025]

THANKS for sharing!

[@mickem4322]

Awesome to see..Thanks for sharing!! :)

[@Seven7ails]

That is beyond impressive. Gives you confidence to buy from them

[@KGcichlids]

Wow that place is amazing!

[@scottcahala7779]

This is an awesome setup.

[@Emtbtoday]

Awesome walk through!

[@thomasb4467]

Love the Netherlands. Such a cool country.

[@amazingaquaticlife]

That's amazing 🌿🌿🌿🌿

[@douglasmedlin7159]

If you are ever in the Atlanta area you should see if sun pets will let you tour there wholesale facility. I think they were bought out by segrest farms. They use to let local stores hand pick their fish.

[@chanhmilner2670]

That back of tank filter system looks incredible, i would love a step by step on setting that up, and give it a try.

[@its_elser]

i hope you go back tehre one day, would love to see a 7 hr video. Id love to go shopping there for corydoras and brochis

[@kasperaquatics]

Let’s equip Aquarium Co-Op with solar and tons of tanks and make them the go to destination for America.

[@decorativeaquarium]

Very good the place is very impressive 😍😍😍

[@aquascaping_matt7613]

Really like the sand as a background

[@dn7096_]

Awesome video. I was just trying to learn more about using sand as filtration media.

[@XCaliKev]

👍😎 I’m going to have to watch the beginning again, how they are set up, looked fascinating, but stupid me didn’t grasp it.

[@camerica7400]

In my local shop Michigan Tropicals LLC they had a blue crayfish 12+ inches, he was the size of a good sized lobster, Mi University came and bought it to study.

[@candiedragon]

That little edit at 6:44 was trippy!

[@stefan00123]

Its in my country awesome tour cory! See you at vivarium ✌

[@RanaLoca]

I love the way they filter! I need a closer look at it. I would like to try to replicate it, I can't quite wrap my head around how a few things work. Is there any extra footage that shows the path that the water takes in a bit more detail?

[@wabalaka1565]

I'm interesting in their filter system but I'm not clear from just your explanation can you do give us another video explaining that because I didn't that system is very useful and save you a lot of money since it run on air

[@kingfisherscatch1320]

There's a great 2 part video posted by Amazon microcosm that details exactly how a good wholesaler should operate. This is where I first heard of ruinemans

[@MattsAquatics]

Aquarium Co Op#1!!!

[@BlownGaskets]

Love your work, this type of video is great, very educational

[@LogacysAquaticLove]

Bro that was so AWESOMELY COOL!

[@drockingfish]

wow that was incredible, love those Corydoras!!

[@marquis2428]

This what I love to see

[@chenryan7245]

Any fish or system and autocontrol all love it wish can vist this fish farm one day 👏

[@RealFishkeeping101]

From someone in the industry.. I cannot believe how thorough they are with health! I am super jealous! Maybe I can use this method for my own practice 🤔 once again, thank you for the insightful and awesome content!

[@StevenDiBello]

I wanna know more about those filters they are running. They look really cool, 100% inside the aquarium. Also, minimal bracing on those aquariums without plastic rims on the bottom. I wanna know more! Great video

[@chhhlllooe]

Great video!

[@sendilkumarj]

Thanks for sharing this video of amazing place, it would be great if can share more or in detail how their sand filter works

[@scottmckay3948]

Freckin Awesome!

[@leafwitheyes2473]

Here from FFT!

[@hakanfranalvdalen1945]

I got my fish from here! Wild caught L204, all alive in one bag each. Facilities looking good

[@ketchumifucan1130]

Very impressive! 🤩

[@esther24792]

If you're still in the Nerherlands and want to see a saltwater wholesaler, you should visit De Jong marine aquariums. Not as big as Ruinemans but still impressive

[@SuperEmilioc]

nice video, I enjoyed it.

[@gorgonzola86]

So you really took the grand tour through the middle of europe 🙂

[@MrMoneyTree]

What an awesome filter system

[@intheframemedia]

Wow! Sweet setup they have Just installed solar here, super excited to upgrade my lighting n other aquarium electronics. You guys shipping to u.k yet?

[@shansen6969]

i'd love if youd update the playlists and maybe make one for all the videos from europe, it's pretty hard to find them from the titles

[@Saiyouanimal]

Beautiful

[@jamesclough2638]

Awesome fish

[@HCH9990]

Those Brochis were BIG!

[@marquis2428]

I love this video

[@chikararexzpo]

You always bring the best fishy adventures 🖤✌️

[@aquascaping_matt7613]

I’m the UK a lot of documenting for feeding and water changes and meds etc are required under pet shop/ exotic animal licenses

[@CaptainDCap]

I've been trying to get exotic species from Ruinemans for a long time. They only really keep the popular stuff. Forget about the cool fish like the Montezuma Swordtail, or stuff like that.

[@denisatpdesignmaintenance2249]

If you read this, please explain better the sand filtration system that they use. Thanks

[@life_motivation_spirituali6333]

Hey, thats a nice video... 👌👌 Can you make videos on parrot fish breeders from thailand or bankok or anywhere else.. 🤔🤔

[@gingerliciousaquatics]

What a great place !! I wonder what kind of sand they use in the back ?

[@sarahwoodring5587]

This gladdens my black little data-loving heart.

[@TrueNorthToby]

Wow, I would like to walk through those aisles.

[@francoangquilo4478]

I saw the filter setup on those tanks. Would it be possible for you to feature a video on how we can DIY it with Dean :) thanks

[@tofebezwerder]

We order all your fish from there. Love that place

[@rcfhblue-tank7155]

I subscribe cause i know there will be more exciting content about fish

[@Aquariumike]

Amazing tour, best fishshop, love to go there, best place in Europe

[@elvinsworld11]

Lovely

[@juanedenburg6766]

I always saw there boxes at my lokale fish store now I now thank you. I hope you had fun in the Nederlands. Did you visit verduijn cichlids?

[@crittergirl3647]

At 5:35, are those other critter cages? Do they ever have to clean the gravel filtration? If yes, how?

[@Philip_smith88]

Nice place

[@johnjwedrall4290]

70 years in business. That's a lot of fish !!

[@Just_Lurking8]

Thanks Cory, this place is amazing. So many fish 🐠
