[@RachelOLeary]

I absolutely love that you focused on good water and diet over medication! Great job, my friend!

[@annethornton9938]

It's also extra-useful advice for novice fishkeepers, not to mention reassuring for us fellow Canadians, as antibiotics are now unavailable, save via vet prescription. (And Joey's the closest thing to a fish vet I've got--both figuratively, and literally, at 3 hours drive lol).

[@DavidDavis311]

He looks a lot more peaceful in that tank.

[@andddyw88]

The detail on the arowana now it's in the smaller tank is unreal, never really appreciated them before now,glad things went well for you.great vid

[@chelseeparsons6836]

I love that he’s hanging out by you the whole time your talking. Seems very curious. He looks beautiful in that tank and it’s fun to get to know his personality more.

[@williamduff1129]

Woman: "he's so big!" Joey: "he's only 20 inches"

[@karenpereira7797]

William Duff 😂

[@debbiemilford6733]

Really like how personable he is in that tank and how interactive he is with you looks great.

[@jonathanmartin3503]

Man those lenses makes your tanks look so small, its probably why all the fuss about tank size ... people seems to forget how big an 8 feet tank is until you walk next to one inside a house to get the better perspective than what you see at the lfs or a zoo lol. On the build footage you added we can clearly see the immense size of that tank because you look so small next to it ;) keep on Joey, still enjoy all your videos :)

[@karenpereira7797]

Jonathan Martin ❤️

[@SteveSandersonArt]

Maybe if you had soaked the towel before the op, it wouldn't have removed so much of slime layer....just a thought :)

[@arranjohnson9795]

Steve Sanderson i was thinking the same but nobody’s perfect... I give him respect for doing the surgery! He was probably so focused on that he didn’t even think of wetting the towel with aquarium water.

[@louisasmiles]

@@arranjohnson9795 he's a so called professional. He should know better

[@shleed]

I love how the arowana just sits there watching joey like it is being interviewed.

[@esist2wild]

When you're a tetra and suddenly a big Arowana arrives in the Tank *KEINE SCHWÄCHE ZEIGEN*

[@myleswilson9671]

Hey joey, glad your arowana is well, but I did notice something that might help this slime coating problem in the future. I noticed the towel you used was dry, it helps when the towel is damp with tank water. Stops the fish from drying out. Big fan and love your videos 👍

[@brandonbelin6192]

This ! I learned this fishing bluegills for catch and release

[@NH4NO3CH3NO2]

I started watching your videos i think back in 2010 when i was in the hobby, its pretty damn cool to see you still making videos 9 years later, and seeing how much has changed. Props to you man!

[@illumi._.]

2:15 fish in the back is following his hand

[@J-O-H-N]

Fooooooood!!!

[@SomeJustice19k]

Love your channel, and you've taught me a lot, but the main thing you've taught me is that I'll never own an Arowana! I get stressed when a molly gets Ich, let alone things like you've shown us. Too much heartache for me....that tank is incredible looking though! Here's to the best 🍻

[@karenpereira7797]

[@varanidguy]

I have always loved that look, one monster fish with a gang of tiny buddies they don't munch on. Awesome!

[@williamlau6590]

Your arowana looks great by itself, love to see fins healed and the new tank is my favorite.

[@camus6208]

Have you ever thought of keeping an Octopus ? They are very smart and extremely entertaining... Can I suggest an octopus Cyanea. They need toys and stimulation. Remember to put a lock with a key on the lid or he’ll escape.

[@Micegift]

Amazing video Joey! 😃 It’s almost 1:30am here in the UK but I am so glad that I got the notification to watch this. I’m so enjoying this series and I am learning so much from this because before I got into your channel, I never really heard of Asian Arrawana’s but you’ve taught me so much and hopefully one day, I may even be lucky enough to keep one with full confidence and from the knowledge that you teach me. 😉

[@FrankiesAquatics]

Thanks for the update, Joey. I must say that eye looks so much better, so a job well done! 👍

[@opforind]

The tank looks great. I really love the large river stone arrangement.

[@zacr8837]

Joey in that video it looked like Susan went after that fish right before it jumped out, thoughts?

[@karenpereira7797]

Zac Reedy ❤️

[@AleeshaSattva]

Breathtaking. I think it's way more attractive having it in the tank where you can see it (eye level). Nicely done!

[@InomayWolf]

why can i never do auto subtitles for joeys vids? i seriously need it because im hard of hearing.

[@nathanmcchesney4367]

This is exactly why I love watching your videos Joey! (Apart from the cool fish I don't have the space to keep) you teach me so much! I definitely would have panicked and went straight to medication if that was my fish and now I know that it may not be necessary if that's what I'm seeing!

[@southjerseysound7340]

The scaping in that tank looks amazing, it's your nicest tank I've seen since I watching your channel. Also I agree that he wont bother the Tetra's. He'd have to be starving or one would have to swim in his mouth. Otherwise him going after one of them would be like you or I running after a grain of rice with a full stomach when we know there's Chinese food for dinner later.

[@sauce6893]

Tbh walking into a room with a giant fish tank with a huge fish like that would be awesome, but walking up to it and realizing there’s schools of tiny fish in with it would be cooler than just having so many it’s obvious. Just a really beautiful detail I think you should keep it like this.

[@69nisab]

Tank looks beautiful. Love the black substrate.

[@richiecarlin2358]

So when you did the operation, You wrapped him in a dry fluffy towel, of course this absorbs all the moisture within his slime coat and wipes it off. When we go fishing for common and mirror carp, large scaled slime coated fish. We handle them with cold, wet towels, particularly in warm environments, and only when we have to, If it is a particularly difficult hook to remove.

[@ricardodejong9246]

He explained that in his drop eye video. It was due to grip i believe.

[@brandonharden1964]

You take proper precautions and execute with love and carefulness with your fish you teach so much in videos I hope everyone appreciate the videos keep it up good job!!

[@karenpereira7797]

brandon harden ❤️

[@matteolucarelli4615]

People just don't realize how efficient good water is for treating fishes, instead of just throwing dozens of medicines just clean water usually does the trick.

[@FlyguyDePanam]

people takes medecines whenever they don't feel right (they've been told it's good for them ), and they're just doing the same to the fish :)

[@TEX474]

I find it interesting how the Arowana put some atention at your explanation of what happened when you added in the other tank, it’s like he appreciates what you do whit his eye and the cares that you give it to him, soo cool man

[@Keith-rs6lz]

Another fantastic video, keep up the good work joey👌👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@ronderfulaquariums2978]

Total success it’s eye looks good teachable moment indeed in terms of its irritation from the handling lesson learned and mental note made thx champ

[@rickyriddell7131]

Greatest days ever when I wake up to see you have uploaded a vid Joey, you have given me so much great help with all my tanks and you didn’t know, thank you 🙏

[@wolffcaleb1]

Love the tank Joey! It turned out a lot nicer than I thought it would. I can't wait to see the next video and I'm dying to see what you decided with the shell dwellers. Keep it up!

[@BrandyLabranche]

Probably due to that oil, It probably messed up his ph on his skin. I'm glad he's doing better and he's a strong fish I'm sure he can handle a little oil and eye surgery.

[@TheTradesmanLU2001]

I like the dimensions. 36” depth (front to back) . More surface area. Lots of turn around room. . 👍🏻. Perfect dimensions for a 375g arowana tank. Very inspiring work you do.

[@janicelange8987]

Tank is Beautiful. Glad the surgery was successful. Love your update.

[@karenpereira7797]

Janice Lange ❤️

[@coryb10]

This was caused by not using a wet towel to do the surgery.

[@4n1k84]

Omg I've been checking your channel daily waiting for your next vid. Love those big guys. He loves being around you he pretty much followed you during that whole vid. What an awesome fish. Thank you for your vids!

[@Chameshi]

Been a while since I watched your videos, but came back for the arowana and rays. I think your videography's really improved, Joey (not that I'm an expert, but I'm liking these shots of your fish :) Thanks for the updates and insights on your observations!!

[@SOLODRIVEN]

That setup simply looks great man.

[@y0ni0]

I used to have a silver arowana and his best friend was a diamond gourami. It was supposed to be food but after eating the female gourami the arowana was never interested in the male gourami, and the gourami felt save from the other big cichlids when he was near the arowana and so they kept swimming together for about three years.

[@conradkorbol]

What happened after three years?

[@y0ni0]

The arowana grew to big for my tank and I couldn't effort to get a bigger tank, so I gave it to a fish store who kept it as there mascot fish.

[@reefboy2558]

first thing i thought when i saw the video was, did another Arowana die

[@karenpereira7797]

Reefboy ❤️

[@mtbtrails6665]

hey joey I've been watching your videos for a while now and love them, but I haven't seen you make a acrylic sump. Definitely something you should try.

[@jacoblaurain8911]

Not sure if you do or you mentioned it but, wetting your hands while handling the fish can decrease the loss of slime and help to inhibit that growth of bacteria. Anyway love the vids Cheers!

[@jacoblaurain8911]

Adi Mamidyala ya basically taking that slime coat off which helps them fight against different harmful fungus, bacteria, parasites, whatever can get in there. People forget our hands secrete a pretty acidic oil, pretty much burning the fish if dry.

[@tubesoulja]

Tank looks fantastic Joey!!!! 😍😍😍

[@Jsbettaroom]

If I could film my Asian Arowana I would. Thanks for inspiring me to get back into the hobby. I know you won't see this but thank you very much

[@Dustinsfishtanks]

Wait- you know how to build aquariums ?! 😘

[@ciaronmackle5807]

Love that tank. Class.

[@GordonWMay]

Doing great Joey. The 350 is looking great!

[@lrlasvegas6427]

He healed up nice and is looking sharp in that tank setup!

[@wildlifemaster1665]

Grate information, keep it up.

[@philiphall8755]

Tank looks amazing glad the fish is doing well

[@naerwyn239]

If you ever put your fish in a towel for surgery, keep the towel wet. With big fish, pump water through their mouth, out the gills, if you can.

[@vannakkeo7453]

beautiful fish and tank! and definetly a sucessful operation

[@fishroombum3771]

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting!

[@maimee2angel]

does this one has top cover? I don't remember you ever show us. I'm worry if the arowana will jump out again?

[@TJ90532]

Enjoyed the video. Thank you!

[@kelsiejo1743]

Ooh! In the first few minutes, I love how the 375 looks like it connects with the other tanks through the open door

[@davewest3137]

Glad hes got better motion in his eye good job joey cant wait to see the 2 thousand changes 😀

[@Raigoth]

Where is the Arowana? *See the Arowana swimming in the tank in the background* I may have found it.

[@DanielGonzalez-gd3dx]

Hi Joey your fish looks amazing in that tank. It will great once the plants bounce back.

[@kaleor22]

Liking thee releases a lot better. The little daily videos sometimes felt rushed or there wasn't as much content. Back to the old style and really enjoying

[@NinaKlos]

Wow I thought that tank was smaller! but the arowana really shows off how massive it is, and looks fantastic against the green plants. Definitely keep it this way!

[@karenpereira7797]

ninkaii ❤️

[@ianmalkaviac]

Maybe some day you should switch your camera to 55mm to show people how big these tanks really are. Sometimes when you show your big tanks the perspective is thrown off and that 8' tank looks like a 4' tank. It would be nice if they made a lens that could see a wide angle without the distortion

[@juanchinito]

Looks very nice!! Just keep it like that.

[@JB_72]

Nice work Joey.

[@zztalk646]

Such a gorgeous fish. Glad to see him doing better with his eye after surgery.

[@uncletatscreativeshack1702]

Your tanks are amazing! Your fish are amazing!! And I’ve never heard of an Asian Arawana before, so this is really interesting 😀

[@aljones8472]

The 375 looks awesome Joey!

[@calm.aware.]

The arowana is much more personable now! And don't mind the bunch of wise-ass know-it-all haters in the comments! Hindsight is always 20/20.

At least you did is right.. proper research and care.. great work.... 👍👍👍👍👍

[@sidl8698]

Not trying to say anything bad about what happened, just giving you my advice, but next time make sure you wet the towel with the aquarium water before putting the fish on it, having a dry towel effects the layer allot more then a wet one

[@kaseyadams5738]

sid L right... doesn’t that seem so obvious?

[@sidl8698]

@@kaseyadams5738 50/50, same goes for your hands, if your hands are not wet before you touch or handle a fish it can severely effect its layer as well.

[@karenpereira7797]

[@mohammedasghar3567]

Tank looks amazing

[@woody151]

Thanks Joey, thanks to your amazing thumbnails and my inability to remember your expertise. I had to delay watching to prepare for bad news.

[@Robreactions]

I actually just became a fan. Came across your videos while looking into other reptile vids!

[@kelsroom2]

Catching it is the hardest part. Try to prevent use net to catch it. Use big plastic bag, this method will prevent any unwanted damage. Any surgery do it in suitable size tub with some water in it. Thats how I do it.

[@simplelife6827]

That tank looks amazing now, to think it will only get better!

Tank looks amazing love how you can get really close up to him and he follows you on the off chance you have food. :-)

[@Shadowstar79]

the eye could have been better corrected when you operated at a younger age. it would have been even better then while growing up. ALSO, next time you operate, try to use a WET towel. not the bone dry one you put over it. would have made a big difference with the mucus layer ....

Wait, so you have had arowana jump out before, and now one has done it again? You’d think people learn from mistakes, arowana are powerfull fish and a plastic cover wont keep them from jumping out.....

..Are you going to build any new acrylic aquariums for the gallery?

[@La3780]

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!! That’s fascinating, that you know enough about fish keeping, to perform surgery! Please don’t take the the wrong way, anyone! 😊 I just mean that, although I've studied aquatics, chemistry and I have some medical background, I don't think I would ever have the confidence to perform surgery!! The arrowana are gorgeous and very interesting fish!! 💜👏🏼
