Finding nemo only hurt the saltwater trade because parents couldnt say no to their kids buying them clownfish and tangs. What's more important if the animal was NOT taken from the ocean and was captive bred. Sustainability is better than a shitty kids movie that does nothing to educate how these creatures live. All fucking movies, tv shows only drive demand and unwanted pets because people saw "a cute pet on tv" and then they throw it away finding out how hard it is. I bet yall talk people out so many times on pets they shouldn't have, small tanks, etc.

Great tour! I used to be really into planted lower light aquariums with moss and fern and anubis covered wood stumps and such. I used to raid dumpsters of stores like yours. A combination of buying this guys huge many years worth of aquariums, filters, pumps, skimmers, etc because it was either his aquariums of his wife, and my dumpster diving had me with some showcase aquariums for very little expense. Great looking store!

well....too bad u took it like that....now....I guess Im an idiot since changing the resolution will fix that the whole video is focus on jacob and the other guy....instead of the FREAKING STORE nor the planted tanks....I guess that the resolution will focus the plants instead of the 2 guys on the video.....yeah....idiot me.....sorry again.......thought u should take the feedback in a good way and try to be better for the next time......u can film and focus on the tanks......or your camera only takes the sound of the image ur filming?

Dude I think you need to get a different camera guy / style so you're narrating from behind the camera whilst you show off fish etc as that's why we are here

This store's cool, I got some good plants here and my sparkling gourami, too. The gourami was a fish I was looking for for a while, and no shop in the area ever had them. This shop doesn't actually carry them either and they were never able to order any in for me because they couldn't get any they said, but this one gourami snuck in by stowing away in a bag of rasboras, according to one of the guys there!

Wichita Falls Fishkeeper - 9 years ago

Jacob...was it hard to hold your tongue from correcting the tour guide? He did a great job. Better than most LFS employees. Nice video.

shibidi - 10 years ago

These guys are very kind and helpful. I called in to see if they had dwarf baby tears and the person who answered said yes. As soon as I got there, they didn't have it and the person I talked to over the phone made a mistake. So one of the older gentleman decided to pull some Glossostigma from one of their established tanks and gave them to me for free. I didn't buy anything but this store has great customer service and have really nice products here. I would definitely recommend.

Rapacious Mtg - 10 years ago

Honestly I have had horrible experiences with ehime <.< they where great when produced in Germany but now there made in china and its killed the quality. I honestly prefer Fluval over all.

Ivan Corona - 10 years ago

Hey jacob, do you know of any good automatic feeder for fish? I'll be gone for a month and I was just wondering if you knew of any good product

JacobsAquarium - 10 years ago

lol. Yes. Doctor Foster and Smith has some pretty good ones.

MA FishGuy - 10 years ago

H Rez - 10 years ago

hello id like to ask you if a 15 watt 18" t8 and rgbw led are enough to grow pearlweed in a 20 gallon tall i have all 300 leds glued to the top of my aqueion 24" hood and if the zoo med ultra sun or the aqueion floramax bulb is better for the job i have looked around but its isnt clear to me.

Tom will - 10 years ago

great tour. I was suprised he used r/o water for a planted tank. Never saw the need.

rexlinkfish - 9 years ago

+JacobsAquarium Yeah Its not necessary for some people.. But with my area we have like an 8.6 PH and super HARD water.. So a lot of plants can't survive..

Horn Pub - 10 years ago

+JacobsAquarium I use ro water and add my dry ferts plus tap water to get the ph where I want it. Since my tap is usually 7.8-8.2.

JacobsAquarium - 10 years ago

+Tom will Well its not necessary. But some people swear by it. I personally have never used RO water for my tanks and they've been fine. There's a first for everything, so maybe I'll try it now seeing how much this store liked it in their tanks. Thanks for watching.

Vestyxe - 10 years ago

Great video, Jacob.

JacobsAquarium - 10 years ago

+Vestyxe Thank you so much :)

Mike Ritacco - 10 years ago

Great video. Keep the store tours coming!! Any chance on flying to North NJ for some?

JacobsAquarium - 10 years ago

If the store paid for our air fare and hotel costs then sure! ;) Thanks for watching friend :)

NobodysPurrrfect - 10 years ago

OZZYTHEOSCAR - 10 years ago

Great video Jacob and what a store !

Victor Farias - 10 years ago

Jacob at 19:14 he said that they battled hair algae. By any chance do you know what they did to overcome the algae?

Guilherme Martins - 10 years ago

Great tour Jacob!!! To me, one of your best videos ever ;)

Matt Radel - 10 years ago

great video love the questions you are asking!!

Timothy Walter - 10 years ago

No Cichlids? Cool store though. I wish Australia had more stores as diverse as this one.

Timothy Walter - 9 years ago

+john boobey
Yeah, pretty much, but the best ones are the independent shops. Chain stores don't really have many options, and independent stores are always at risk of closing down... :(
