If you look at 9:40 you can see the betta cup and its upright but when you took out the red velvet swords at 10: 15 you can see the bag fall over and that must have knocked him over so thank goodness he was not shipped like that!

I have a boy Betta fish and l named it Galaxy cause it is like an imprint of the galaxy on a fish! I am planning to get more cause they are so pretty!

Anyka Gonzalez - 7 years ago

I have a Betta and I want to give him tank mates but I am terrified of murdering fish. what do you recommend to put with him. I was going to get a 10 gallon is that a good size?

Megan Proffitt - 7 years ago

I've heard of people putting mollies, dwarf frogs, oto catfish, snails, and shrimp with their Bettas.

[GD] TeamVolcaniX - 7 years ago

Anyka Gonzalez I don't know any compatible fish but small freshwater shrimp works... look into getting the right kind. Also 10 gallon is great, as 5 is the minimum

Kat Cetera - 7 years ago

Why would they ship Bettas in cups with so little water which could go dry or spill instead of in bags? I mean, the bags should be cheaper then cups in the first place.....

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

The honest answer is time and packing space. It's faster to put a cup in, the betta was already living in than to rebag it when shipping for them.

Kayla Crosby - 7 years ago

I got a couple of hillstream loaches once but they completely disappeared. It's been months and a few 100% water changes and still no sign of them. They were in my 20 gallon with 1 betta, 5 guppies, and 2 shrimp.

geoffrey smith - 7 years ago

love that puffer ;)

Alysia Says Hss - 7 years ago

Wait Murphy? What kind of puffer is he? Also does he not eat thoes guppys?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Mbu Puffer, doesn't eat the guppies.

Elizabeth Mandile - 7 years ago

Ahh I loved seeing Murphy eating! He reminds me of my old green spotted puffer I had awhile back who I got from a friend who had no clue what she was doing as she got him from Walmart. He was a lovely fish but I only had him a month before He lost his battle with a Parasite:(

joshua thomas - 7 years ago

I have a room dedicated to betta fish. I have 30 bettas. the owner of a local pet store hand picks them from his breeder before they are sold to other private stores. they are friends I think. so he calls me when he finds some pretty bettas and I buy them. every betta had their own 5 gallon tank with sand, live plants, all have a betta log. I got 50 of them at wholesale price. and a betta leaf suction cupped to the tank. they are all healthy and happy. one of the bettas knows how to jump over my finger for food. He is 4 years old and is still healthy.

hi i really hope you or anyone can answer this question for me but is it possible to put together a betta, a couple red dragon guppy and hilstream loaches and if so what size tank would be ideal to put them all together ?

Sydney Edmison - 7 years ago

starorb I have my beta with 2 guppies, 5 tetras, and 2 albino catfish in a 9 gal planted aquarium and its doing great!

starorb - 7 years ago

aw man but i would really love to house a betta in a community tank. do you have any suggestions as to what types of fish would work well or should i just house it on its own ?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

seems like you'd have problems mixing those.

Probably FedEx playing kickball with the packages again....I had to reorder my CO2 diffuser because it was in a million pieces by the time I got it.

Those poor bettas had almost no water. I get that they need air to breathe but does it have to be that shallow?

Ruben - 7 years ago

He eats the shell too I didn't know that. I thought they would use the shell to grind there teeth. Thanks for sharing.

Sarah Matarese - 7 years ago

I still don't understand why they don't ship each betta in a normal bag like the other fish, do you know if there is a reason?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

If I had to guess, it's because they keep them in these containers, and they can pull them off the shelf and ship them with no more work. And most times they ship "ok".

Cichlids 5 Aquatics - 7 years ago

Hopefully this hasn't been answered before, you're like my favorite channel to watch for anything about fish. Where do you buy all of your fish from? I don't mind the prices but I've bought from a few now and they either sell sick fish or ones with such bad deformities it kills them off anyway. Help would be appreciated!

Murphy is absolutely amazing :-) such a cool fish, is there a video specifically on him? That poor betta with no water, and the others with very little water :-( so glad you treat them well when they get to you!

No specific video on him yet, but I did film it and it should be coming out soon.

littledicks - 7 years ago

Murphy is adorable omg

Snezana K - 7 years ago

I like to see your videos and see various fish species that i haven't seen at all or very rarely. And poor betta. Don't understand why they are kept and sold in cups. Here in sweden it isn't allowed to have fish in cylinder container and all stores that i have seen have their betta in tanks that have dividers or small tanks and always filtration in them, due to regulation fish store have to follow.

Patchwork The Dragon - 7 years ago

Sounds lovely! There's a pet store here in Show Low, AZ called Perfect Paws, they have majority of their bettas in community tanks, but they have 6 or 7 bettas in cups up front. They take surprisingly good care of them to.

Anthony Ragan - 7 years ago

I'm amazed that high-and-dry betta not only survived, but looks to be doing well. I notice you get a lot of Sterbai corys: are they by far the most popular with your customers?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Sterbai corydoras are the most popular corydora we sell yes.

SoCal Fish Keepers - 7 years ago

Why don't you sell arowanas. Would love to see you unbox those. Love the vids, keep up the good work

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

We do sell them, just typically get them from different vendors and not that often. Most people aren't ready to take care of an arowana.

windowpane - 7 years ago

What is the reason for the Bettas being shipped that way? Is it because of cost? Since they don't sell for a lot and they can't all be in one bag and have to be individually packed.

Also, your creaking door made me think that Murphy has dinosaur voice

windowpane - 7 years ago

Yes they should be given better treatment. Poor things. In Asia, they are sold in tiny bottles with very little water too. That's how I was brought up to think that's all they want and so my first couple of Bettas were living in the same small bottles. I feel terrible till now.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

They have to be shipped individually. And I think it's an accepted practice to ship them that way instead of the bags I suppose. But really they should be bagged.

Michel Carrasquel - 7 years ago

Thumbs up for Murphy swallowing those clams basically whole XD

TheUltimateGam3r63 - 7 years ago

Hey Cory or community lol
I am a fairly new hobbiest, I started my first tank last August. I currently have 2 pearl goramis(sorry for spelling) 2 rainbow sharks, 2 tiger barbs, a bristle nose Pleco, 3 Cory cats, 2 male sword tails, 2male platy's, 4 female platy's, a yoyo loach, 2 black skirt tetras, 2 red tetras in a 40 breeder with a filter, power head with sponge intake, air stones, and live plants. I always feel it's over populated but haven't had any unexplainable deaths beyond red tailed tetras jumping out of the tank. Is this ideal tank population. It has normal readings and nitrate is around 20ppm due to ferts I assume because there are no nitrites. Ph is 7.2, very hard water and highish alkinity.

Kodiak Bear - 7 years ago

Today is my b-day, and why don't they ship Betta in bags?

EJ Fishes 76 - 7 years ago

Cat K - 7 years ago

Wait, I've never seen Murphy before, you can keep him with other fish?? I wanted to get some Pygmy puffers and thought puffers were supposed to be kept solo.

I wish I had a store like you in my area. We had one in a neighboring town but they had a fire and were supposed to open back up in February but they still haven't reopened

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

We keep all of bettas in community tanks and most puffers need to live solo, but not all.

Cat K - 7 years ago

Also, bettas with other species are fine?

Melissa Byers - 7 years ago

Hi Cory, happy birthday! I have fancy goldfish. I bought a Pothos plant and instead of putting the roots in my filter, I would like to just let them hang down in the tank. Will my goldfish eat the Pothos roots and would the roots be poisonous to the fish? Thank you!

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Not poisonous that I know of, but it can be hard on the plant long term.

omg!!! The Reticulated Hillstream loaches!!! I've been searching for what they were after seeing them in a local pet shop, but after i left I forgot the name. Also I just got a 29 gallon tank and with my parents I might be able to buy some plants ^--^ Also If i find some hillstream loaches then I definitely want to add them too my new tank soon. ^-^

michelle babcock - 7 years ago

How many offers do you get for Murphy?

impokejon - 7 years ago

could you sell fish breeding kits on your site. for example it would inlcude a 40g tank and everything that needs and a group of Xfish or guppies, and other things the person might want like 1 or 2 types of live food nad plants. that way the customer would only have to pay one set up shipping as well as they don't have to go Scranton round fifteen different web sites and five different stores defined all the things they need for breeding tank.

XwerewolfX - 7 years ago

You should move to LA so i can buy off you locally every paycheck xd

LRB Aquatics - 7 years ago

Nice video. I have a betta question, my betta has recently gotten a tumor and I'm really worried. I'm looking online and some people say surgery is an option. Where can a fish get surgery though?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Typically most surgeries are done by home hobbyists. There are some exotic vets that do fish surguries though.

Jena Tucker Aquariums - 7 years ago

Yaye for the Betta!!! I so wish I lived near you!! You stock some amazing fish. I would be really broke then... lol, and my husband would be mad always, because I would constantly be buying even more fish and tanks

Well we don't want to wreck home life! For now you'll just have to watch from afar :)

BrokenWings1018 - 7 years ago

can you do a video or point me in the right direction of a video about ram cichlids? I am interested in getting some but I've heard that they are really hard to keep. any help would be appreciated! love your channel!!!!

BrokenWings1018 - 7 years ago

Aquarium Co-Op thanks for the reply! I appreciate it!

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

My best advice is to check out this fish room. It is long, but this guy is a master at breeding the rams etc and you can pick up a lot of tips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk9XUY6eNBs

Doodle Doodle Nope - 7 years ago

What kind of rams? My husband and I love the German Blues, we've found that they're not as difficult to keep as people say. Whatever you're looking into, read up on it as much as possible and check out forums to get an idea of "real life" experience with it. Rams are really beautiful and their personalities are wonderful, they're very rewarding fish to keep. Good luck!

Offishal Aquatics - 7 years ago

Hey Cory so I bought some serpae tetras and some of them dont display the vertical black stripe on their gill area like their supposed to, but just a black dot instead of the full mark. Is there something wrong with their health or just a natural variation ?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I'd say it's just a variation is all.

matthew smith - 7 years ago

Great Great store Cory! Think I'd have to have a fish room if I lived locally! Do you have any videos on those 'au natural' tanks you have set up, or links to sites that talk about it, seems fascinating to me

matthew smith - 7 years ago

Thanks Cory. Did a little bit of googling, there are so many experts behind keyboards that contradict each other while swearing prefusely,ha! Picking out the salient information I think though, pretty fascinating stuff

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I don't have much video on it yet, for natural aquariums you can google freshwater deep sand beds.

mpjopa tv - 7 years ago

we are obsessed with murphy, love the feedings, does he ever est the other fish and how often do you clean out the left over shells

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

He doesn't eat other fish and I do some shell removal once ever 6 months or so.

Alan Surgeoner - 7 years ago

I know it has been said a million times But I really Flippin hate the way Bettas are shipped handled and basically just mistreated all the way through the hobby. Not getting at you Corey just the practice of handling Bettas in general. Glad you will give them a better quality of life!

I have too many guppy's as is but I would make room for a line that looked anything like that one fish.

sure, shoot me an email and I'll see if I recognize it.

the lazy fish keeper - 7 years ago

now foe something completly differtent. on your water concerns at home concider building a filtering system. and reuse your aquarium water. as a long term project.any thoughts?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I hear that it's commonly done in Germany. I'm focusing on using less water first, then perhaps focus on sustaining the water.

Roberto Vitola - 7 years ago

great video, what would happen if the shipment got lost and the fish died? Who would be responsible for the $1341 and the fish's life?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I would file a claim with the shipping company that would ultimate take a lot of time and I'd just loose as there are a million loops holes. Any act of god in the country. So a tornado on the other side of the country, that in no way impacts the west coast could be used as a, this caused a delay over here etc.

Emmit Stewart - 7 years ago

You reminded me of the time back in the nineties when I came home and found one betta Laying in 1/4 inch of water in the bottom of her jar. (I was keeping my bettas in one gallon jars at the time.) she would lay on her right side until her left side began to dry, then she would flop over and lay on her left until her right started to dry, then she would flop over again. I don't know how long she had been doing that, but when I filled up the jar she righted herself and acted as if nothing had happened.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

They're very smart and strong fish for sure.

Yesenia Toribio - 7 years ago

Hello Cory, great video. Do you have an online live fish store? I am currently looking for the golden gouramis and can not find them.... Also I once saw a flamingo gourami? However have not come across them again. Any suggestions?

We don't sell live fish online at this time. I'd check Aquabid.com

I bet I wish my tank was setup I would take him in a heartbeat my local stores never have ones that look like that they're usually all red, a super dark blue almost black, or they're a mix of red,white, and blue

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Yeah, he'll find a good home :)

Manan Moin Shuddho - 7 years ago

How much does each of the apistos go for?

Manan Moin Shuddho - 7 years ago

Thanks mate! Here in our country Apistos are so rare that the only time it got imported it was sold for almost 10 times the price of otos when put in a monetary scale.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

We sell apistos between 14.99 and 19.99

Cory, do you know of any place to get live or frozen black worms? Currently I'm feeding the sterbai in my breeding tank tubifex and bloodworms. I want to get black worms for them because I've heard the black worms are very good for them!

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I sell live black worms.

Epic gamer 11 - 7 years ago

Why don't you do goldfish anymore

Epic gamer 11 - 7 years ago

Aquarium Co-Op thank you for replying and o understand now

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

What do you mean? If you are asking why I don't show them on unboxing? This vendor doesn't sell goldfish. We receive 3-4 shipments like this a week and are only filming this one typically.

Nope, no snapchat.

Happy belated birthday Cory just catching up on all your videos as I've being on holiday.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Thank you :)

cory can you pls tell me how or where do you buy all of your fish from the umboxing videos

sergio sanchez - 7 years ago

Fading Cadence oh ok

Hilton Aquatics - 7 years ago

Great video again! Love the unboxing as always

Unique Life - 7 years ago

What size tank is Murphy in? And is that the minimum size tank for a Mbu puffer? If not what is the minimum size tank? And I want to say I love your unboxing videos I want a store like yours in my area I'm so jealous

DReis 7 - 7 years ago

jashelps dafuck? 1 meter XD
they get like 2 feet

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I would this is the opposite of what I personally would recommend. They need a larger footprint to swim around it, not a taller tank typically. The tank Murphy currently lives in is 360 gallons with a footprint of 72x48x24. At full grown size, I'd like to see 96x72x36 personally.

jashelps - 7 years ago

They can get to about 1 meter. The minimum for a full grown puffer would be a 1500 liter tank. The tank needs to have a lot of vertical swimming space horizontal can be less.

Matthew Caruana - 7 years ago

Can someone write down the name of the fish named in 17:24 please !

Matthew Caruana - 7 years ago

Thanks Mike ! :)

Mike Young - 7 years ago

Matthew Caruana apisto fire reds or the other fish looked like a rainbow of some kind.

NiNi PokaSpot - 7 years ago

can Mbu puffers live together? Or are they just good with other fish not their own species?

NiNi PokaSpot - 7 years ago

I see thank you, that would make sense I suppose. I adore them, but I don't think I would ever venture having one. I will just give Murphy all the love instead.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I find them to be aggressive towards their own kind. Really comes out during feeding time.

Christopher O'Brien - 7 years ago

Hey Cory, I have had a sudden onslaught of ammonia poisoning that has already killed two of my zebra danios. I did a big water change already. What else can I do to save my fish?

Christopher O'Brien - 7 years ago

Sashvin Raj either over feeding or adding too many hatchets at one time. I'll just restock slower next time.

Sashvin Raj - 7 years ago

Christopher O'Brien I'm sorry to hear that man... all in all, what caused it though?

Christopher O'Brien - 7 years ago

Sashvin Raj At this point most of my fish are dead, after a tank flush, daily water changes and all of my additives I'm down to 2 danios and 3 hatchetfish. It was just so sudden, I didn't have a hospital tank ready. Just a bad overall experience.

Sashvin Raj - 7 years ago

Christopher O'Brien well, where I'm from, most people don't use HOB, so I'm not too familiar with them, but i suppose they work too given how popular are they in overseas. yes you can, but given their only danios and hatchet fish, you could perhaps buy a cheap storage tub, like a 8-10 gallons, they usually don't cost much, and also a low cost filter, an internal filter/hob by sun sun or something ( something cheap). Air stones could work too, but you'll need daily water changes.The 2.5 gallon bucket works too, but again, you'll need daily water changes. But it's q good idea for every fish keeper to have some kind of hospital tank setup when they need to, don't know when you'll need it. Hope this helps man.

Christopher O'Brien - 7 years ago

Sashvin Raj should I set up a hospital tank? I only have a 2.5 bucket and would need to grab salt and air stone supplies

Christopher O'Brien - 7 years ago

Sashvin Raj thanks for the advice. I have the aquaclear bio with a foam pad in my aquaclear, and have been dosing seachem stability after water changes. Stability is a bacteria supplement and also is supposed to build up my biological system. Btw I have an aquaclear 30 on a 14, which is way more than enough I think. I hope they pull through. Thanks!

Sashvin Raj - 7 years ago

Christopher O'Brien well...i guess you could try separate half of them elsewhere until the ammonia spike subsides, in the meantime, do you have any form of biological filtration media? ceramic rings and etc, if you don't do get them, other then that, you could get the bottled beneficial bacteria, and chuck alot of it in right after your water change, that speeds up the cycling process ( i tried directly pouring the bottled beneficial bacteria into my ceramic rings, not sure how much it helped but it definitely improved), besides after that you can just wait... check out my channel, my tanks are heavily stocked but they run fine due to the fast pumps and my biological media, your current stocking isn't that heavy in terms of bio-load. if you've fulfilled all that, then the best you can do is a 30-50% water change every 3-4 days...( or when you see the fishes start to look weak), until the ammonia spike subsides. I'm deeply sorry for your loss and I wish you all the best man.

Christopher O'Brien - 7 years ago

Sashvin Raj it's a 15. 4 danios alive, all 4 hatchetfish alive.

Sashvin Raj - 7 years ago

Christopher O'Brien well usually less fishes, less ammonia, you could place some of them in a storage tub or something+an air stone... and handle them while the ammonia issue subsides, how many fishes are still alive? and how big is your tank?

Christopher O'Brien - 7 years ago

Sashvin Raj before or after the deaths?

Sashvin Raj - 7 years ago

Christopher O'Brien what's your current stocking?

mikey8379 - 7 years ago

Another great video Cory! Just curious, what do you typically charge for those larger pieces of wood on the bottom shelf at about 9:30 in the video? Cheers!

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

$49.99 for the XXL wood.

Damian Rocha - 7 years ago

Hey Cory what is a good price to sell bn plecos to a lfs. The 3-4 inch bn run for 39.99 or 29.99 at their store.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I'd be asking for roughly 1/3 of what they sell it for, they seems to be selling them pretty expensive though.

The Fish Nerd - 7 years ago

Loved your business stream on your personal channel btw! Left you a question in the comments there. Think you'll do another soon?

The Fish Nerd - 7 years ago

Awesome! Thanks!

Your quarantine methods are exemplary. Kudos because a lot of fish stores don't quarantine at all.

Oh my goodness! It's super cool that he made it without water. I guess it's a good thing that that happened to a labyrinth fish! Swim on little buddy.

Faris El Jundi - 7 years ago

Hey Cory!! Quick question, I notice in a lot of your videos, you say 'true fresh water' fish, what does that really mean? What's the difference between a true fresh water fish, and whatever is sold st the LFS?

Hex - 7 years ago

Faris El Jundi some fish, such as mollies, are commonly raised in slightly brackish water, and a lot of stores don't tell you that so when you take them home and put them in fresh water they die

Kyle Raines - 7 years ago

Do you currently have any Green Phantom plecos? And when will the L201 be outta quarantine?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I have no idea on Green Phantoms, you'd want to call the store, and by the time the videos out most things should already be out of quarantine and possibly sold.

GamingTommy 68 - 7 years ago

This guy is a legend I love watching your vids, great work!

Erick Frick - 7 years ago

Hi Cory, the store looks awesome! btw I was wondering. I noticed you mentioned you will watch the clown loaches like a hawk. I love clown loaches and will be getting some soon. Do you have any pointers on taking special care of these bad boys? much appriciated, keep up the awesome work!

Erick Frick - 7 years ago

Excellent, thank you sir!

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Quarantine them and treat for ich Right away is what I do. They are so prone to it, it just makes it eaiser. Also they like to be warm. Currently keeping my group at 85.

Prime Time Aquatics - 7 years ago

Princess Mallow - 7 years ago

Sounds logical. Here in rainy Chicago we just let the seepage take our basement every storm season. Lived in this house 13 years and it never fails, it always floods. Wish I could put fish down there but I'd be afraid their setup would be damaged.

Weenie Hut Jr's - 7 years ago

Li4m Hassall generally they don't have basements in wet climates.

Prime Time Aquatics - 7 years ago

My basement is definitely filling up with tanks fast! : -)

Weenie Hut Jr's - 7 years ago

Prime Time Aquatics you're just like me than. All I have in my area are filthy disgusting pet stores with equally disgusting diseased fish. Ya gotta be the hero of your own life and take matters into your own hands and open your own fish store doing it right. I'm starting in my garage!

Lucas Fletcher - 7 years ago

Cory, what about using vinegar eels as the live food for baby guppies instead of baby brine shrimp?

Lucas Fletcher - 7 years ago

Thanks, they are small for sure, just seem easier for someone who's super crazy busy to manage than hatching brine on a consistent schedule!

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Sure you can, I just find vinegar eels so small, it's almost too much work for guppies to want to eat them.

It's a good rule of thumb for beginners to fish tanks. Once you understand the fish more it's easier to adjust.

So you are getting some discus and competing against others to grow them out the biggest? I'd run them at 90 degrees, use sera discus granules on an auto feeder, feed live or frozen worms on top of that 2x a day and water change 50% daily on auto water change.
