Love the long video's Corey! Don't you worry about what anyone says about the time it takes to watch these video's. You are very informative and the information is important. AND you don't repeat yourself like sometimes people who do long video's do. You are a wealth of information and I do appreciate all the time and energy you offer.
If someone can't watch a video for more than 3 minutes than they aren't going to learn much. I also enjoy listening to your voice. It sounds really nice and you are very calming and encouraging.
I agree with longer videos! Short videos aren't as informative and I feel more confused in the end. Fish room is looking amazing and that custom tank is badass. Would love to see something unique with it! Mudskippers would be a neat addition. Love the videos Cory!
I love the long videos. I can't stand waiting for a new video to come out by a youtuber I like and its only 4 min long. I get nothing out of a 4 min video, not even entertainment. Rock on Cory!
Thank you for the confirmation on waiting. I just got a real old fashion welded wrought iron 55 gal double stand for an extremely good price. I have been waiting on this stand for about 4 months! Patience pays off! You look great in you video! I also added an automatic feeder on my baby tank, I love it and they do too! They r growing so much faster, I also mixed my baby guppies and mollies and cherry shrimp together too! Now I have baby shrimp!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SOUND ADVICE!
Keep up the great work, Cory! Love watching your videos, regardless of length. In fact, when doing my own fish tank maintenance, watching/listening to longer videos are better!
preach brotha!!! I come to u bcuz I love the long vids an ur rite ther jst mostly 3mins with the same quality as urs.i will always prefer a long vid like urs than a short video that explains halfa** lol keep on keepin on!!
Keep doing what you do Cory. I can tell its about the hobby and helping others. If it was to make money or get fame you would pimp your store every episode but you stay real and do it for the fans. Love the vids and I watch them all.
+Joseph Pinkston I'm glad you enjoy it. I try very hard to keep an even playing field for all businesses not just my own. It's too easy to just pimp my own store as you said.
+Aquarium Co-Op lol that being said maybe you should do a video touring your store you deserve a little spotlight time. Also I just got to Vancouver WA is the Greater Portland Aquarium Society worth it saw you post on their Facebook
Cory, have watched maybe all your videos. I would rather take the time to watch it and understand than to have to ask tons of questions. The whole fact that you give your well respected reviews on thing takes it to a whole new level. Don't stop living your and a bunch of us dream! Whatever direction your house tank goes in it will be awesome !
Wow...! Early start is 10am...? I own & operate 2 companies, 2.75 fishrooms, & a bunch of other animals and I'm up at 4am daily... I do go to bed early(8pm), but how are ya able to sleep so late and stay successful...? I might need to hire you for some business coaching...!!! Anyway, Another great oldie...! I've chosen your channel to be a member of due to your long-winded-ness...! I'm the same way... I'm loving em...! And I'd wager that the majority of your members/ subs do too... Keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...!
You know you've reached aquatic nerd status when you have a area rug with fish on it in your living room. Lol I am jealous. My wife wouldn't go for that in the living room.. Lol
That is going to be one awesome tank in the house! I just got the go a head from the wife to put a massive tank in the basement as a room divider I'm looking forward to what you do with yours!
love the vids man. great to sit down and watch, and re-watch while doing water changes and what not. don't know how many times I've listened to real fish talk
That new tank is amazing. I would stick a pair of red terrors in there. They are beautiful fish. I liked your 2 minute rant there though. I have no objections to the length of your videos, we watch every minute of them no matter the length. Thanks for explaining the sump , it looks great and boy does it ever rocket that water out of there. Real neat setup. I'm glad to see that rack fits there. That was a great score.
+AQUA NUT That is something I hadn't considered really. Like a big fish for the tank a wet pet. I had considered another Mbu Puffer cause I love them. But figure I should diversify.
Whatever you do with it its going to look amazing. I could only dream of a tank like that. I priced out a 300 gallon custom tank, it came out to 6 grand
Cory, calm down bud. your doing a great job and your subs know u like to make longer videos and we like to watch every minute. hense why I stop what ever I'm doing, make a coffee and watch. it's very relaxing. screw the haters and complainers. cheers
+1deaver Agreed, I especially love watching Cory's longer videos after a tough busy day at work. Great way to wind down and relax. Keep up the terrific work Cory!
+1deaver Cut out the unneeded shit imo... Not everyone likes long videos especially when they dno if itll even be worth sitting through a vid like that.
Wow cory, where do you find the energy? Between the store and the fishroom and you still have time for maintenance on a nice show tank for inside the house?
I notice you use gravel in some of the tanks. How often do you vac the gravel? I would think that with the plants and sponge filters the gravel builds up alot of waste. Thanks!
This video was too long - you are different from everyone else - you spend too long explaining things - you spend too much time showing all of your stuff - you, never mind, that's why we love you!!! Keep up the good work!!!
+Ashutosh Khade Well I'd say start with a number you're comfortable with. Which is pretty much whatever you want and then they will populate until the aquarium can't hold anymore. At that point fry will get eaten by adults etc from having so many in there.
+eric T I'm not a fan of under the tank sumps. If I do a sump I put it above the tank which requires no overflow. I also like to keep small fish, and overflows aren't that friendly to that.
+Brett Tully If it's the blue ones. They are two different blue strains I crossed that are known to carry the green gene. Otherwise it would have been the Big eared guppies.
+Kevin Green Sure. I actually like cichlids a lot. It's just from a business standpoint they're bad. I've got cyps and saulosi currently. I've just done a ton of africans in the past. Which doesn't mean I won't again, just right now I'm light on em.
+Aquarium Co-Op correct me if I'm wrong but do you have shell dwelling ones? great videos btw, i like that you keep you videos long, like you said, it's alot more content.
Who, in God's Name, had the butt-hairs to thumbs down THIS vid?!?... *sigh*... Even wild-caught fish would blow their spawn knowing this was to be their new home. Of course I'm exaggerating. But, you get it. Smdh! I guess, no matter what it is, you WON'T please everyone!... Keep up the great work, Cory. And don't stop rambling; I, for one, learn tons of stuff from you... by accident, AND on purpose... Hoo-Ah! :
I would love an acrylic tank but it's strangely pricey since the price of oil is rock bottom. Where I live, it's about $20 / sq. ft for 3/8" acrylic sheets. Is there a reason why you didn't build a sump tank (i.e. all-in-one aquarium)? Very nice canopy. Is there a matching stand? Sadly, the attention span of today's generation is about that of a fruit fly. Just make your videos how you want it.
+Ivan Freely I didn't want overflows/all in one auarium due to they always end up with small fish and shrimp caught in there. And I know myself at some point small fish will be in the tank also.
Well I'm selling fertz, tshirts, and some foods. In theory other things are rolling out. We intend to do a WYSIWYG rock selection that'll be shipped. We have Dragon ohko Stone, Seiryu Stone, and Zebra Rock. I just need to put some boxes together and start listing them on the site.
Don't EVEN worry about a couple of PITA's or lazing about couch surfers with their remotes duck taped to their wrist, who have the attention span of gnats, get easily confused and make negative comments in a pathetic attempt to try and cover up the fact that they operate on a 3rd grade level both socially and intellectually. If folks didn't like your videos and your style you wouldn't have subscribers and repeat watchers.
Love the long video's Corey! Don't you worry about what anyone says about the time it takes to watch these video's. You are very informative and the information is important.

I prefer the longer videos! I watch TH-cam videos on my tv in the living room. Keep up the good work! 👍🏼👍🏼
I agree with longer videos! Short videos aren't as informative and I feel more confused in the end. Fish room is looking amazing and that custom tank is badass. Would love to see something unique with it! Mudskippers would be a neat addition. Love the videos Cory!
love watching the progress of your fishroom.
I love the long videos. I can't stand waiting for a new video to come out by a youtuber I like and its only 4 min long. I get nothing out of a 4 min video, not even entertainment. Rock on Cory!
Thank you for the confirmation on waiting. I just got a real old fashion welded wrought iron 55 gal double stand for an extremely good price. I have been waiting on this stand for about 4 months!

Keep up the great work. I enjoy all your videos I don't care how long they are.
Keep the long videos for sure! It makes it more of an "episode" rather than a how-to or rant commercial. Keep up the good work... loving the videos!
Keep up the great work, Cory! Love watching your videos, regardless of length. In fact, when doing my own fish tank maintenance, watching/listening to longer videos are better!
Love the guppies! Thanks for all the great videos.
preach brotha!!! I come to u bcuz I love the long vids an ur rite ther jst mostly 3mins with the same quality as urs.i will always prefer a long vid like urs than a short video that explains halfa** lol keep on keepin on!!
Those dwarf platys are awesome. Wish your store wasn't across try country from me.
Personally I search out longer videos so please keep it up!!
Haha I love coming back and watching rants like this!
Keep doing what you do Cory. I can tell its about the hobby and helping others. If it was to make money or get fame you would pimp your store every episode but you stay real and do it for the fans. Love the vids and I watch them all.

I have watched all of the latest videos and appreciate the podcast on iTunes because it save battery's from my phone screen being on
Keep the the longer videos! I love the longer videos!
good job i like your longer vids bud !
It's alright calm down. I like your longer videos. Sure a like a 5-10 minute video, but hey I'll watch em i don't care they're good videos.
Wow...! Early start is 10am...? I own & operate 2 companies, 2.75 fishrooms, & a bunch of other animals and I'm up at 4am daily...

You know you've reached aquatic nerd status when you have a area rug with fish on it in your living room. Lol I am jealous. My wife wouldn't go for that in the living room.. Lol
Cool big boy tank.
Love the rant, thanks for being one of the few who actually takes the time to fully explain things. 👍
That is going to be one awesome tank in the house! I just got the go a head from the wife to put a massive tank in the basement as a room divider I'm looking forward to what you do with yours!
+Brett Tully It's hard to figure out what I want to do. I got it on the stand today in the house so now I can start thinking what I want to see.
Love these series
love the vids man. great to sit down and watch, and re-watch while doing water changes and what not. don't know how many times I've listened to real fish talk
Love the old vids
I am obsessed with fish/shrimp so i love your channel.
+Spaztek12 It's an easy thing to become obsessed with. Here I am years later still obsessed :D
That new tank is amazing. I would stick a pair of red terrors in there. They are beautiful fish. I liked your 2 minute rant there though. I have no objections to the length of your videos, we watch every minute of them no matter the length.

great video and I like the longer videos
+Dakota Aquatics Thanks for the feedback. This one just naturally ran long.
Star of the show at 33:00 surprise!
Best videos on you tube! keep up the good work. Love your videos Cory I learn a lot from watching you an the Wolfman Mr. driftwood 2000 lol.
+Starlin Stephens Lol. I'll be sure to tease him about that at work today :D
That is a fire guppy .... If I was to keep a domestic strian it would purple moscows
Good job please keep the videos coming. I'm trying to start a fish room myself but I get lost when it comes to water pipes intakes etc...
+Omar K Johnson If you run into questions, just ask. I'll try and answer them or point you to a video that does.
Cory, calm down bud. your doing a great job and your subs know u like to make longer videos and we like to watch every minute. hense why I stop what ever I'm doing, make a coffee and watch. it's very relaxing. screw the haters and complainers. cheers
+1deaver Glad to hear it. :)
+1deaver Agreed, I especially love watching Cory's longer videos after a tough busy day at work. Great way to wind down and relax. Keep up the terrific work Cory!
+1deaver Cut out the unneeded shit imo... Not everyone likes long videos especially when they dno if itll even be worth sitting through a vid like that.
You are very right buddy I know it’s a old video but this was a good comment we love your videos an it’s cool you got hit 200k subs
That Eheim 400 air pump is awesome. I have one in my bedroom and it's silent. My wife is a very light sleeper and she can't hear it.
+Darren Lines Good to hear. I haven't had time to play with it yet.
Wow cory, where do you find the energy? Between the store and the fishroom and you still have time for maintenance on a nice show tank for inside the house?
+Rich's Fishes Well time will tell if I have the energy... So far it doesn't have water in it :P
+Aquarium Co-Op LOL....I do find my empty tanks the easiest to maintain!
Dude I love your videos! Long is great
Thanks, plenty of videos to catch up on :P
yo cory i think you should do ether a mudskipper tank or a odd ball tank
+Rennen S We shall see how it shapes up.
love the vids, especially the part about length of videos. Im not a guppy guy but that blue one at 38:40 is amazing
+MrNubbins Yeah he is stellar.
I notice you use gravel in some of the tanks. How often do you vac the gravel? I would think that with the plants and sponge filters the gravel builds up alot of waste. Thanks!
I rarely gravel vac unless I had a reason too. The mulm is beneficial when breeding fish in my opinion.
This video was too long - you are different from everyone else - you spend too long explaining things - you spend too much time showing all of your stuff - you, never mind, that's why we love you!!! Keep up the good work!!!
+Old School Fish Guy Thanks for the encouragement.
Mudskippers,turtle or pufferfish
Wtffff that's a steal I had a custom stand quote for about 1000$ Steel has gone up on price lately
+Rico Suave Yeah I know. It's why I couldn't pass them up. Cinder blocks are cheaper... but steel is steel :P
I am planning to setup 50 gallon planted guppy aquarium,how many guppies should I keep?
+Ashutosh Khade Well I'd say start with a number you're comfortable with. Which is pretty much whatever you want and then they will populate until the aquarium can't hold anymore. At that point fry will get eaten by adults etc from having so many in there.
Sir, which is the best species of guppy fish?
I'd just go with "fancy guppies" and pick color strains you enjoy.
Have you tried Eheim's water pumps? How loud are they?
+Robert Hathaway As in the pumps for a return pump etc? If so they are pretty quiet and energy efficient.
Why no overflow with that new tank
+eric T I'm not a fan of under the tank sumps. If I do a sump I put it above the tank which requires no overflow. I also like to keep small fish, and overflows aren't that friendly to that.
That is a amazing guppy near the end of the video what kind is it?
+Brett Tully If it's the blue ones. They are two different blue strains I crossed that are known to carry the green gene. Otherwise it would have been the Big eared guppies.
your videos aren't long enough Cory 8-)
+subaqua Ha, I should do some like 10 hour long video where I hide a secret word in there for a prize or something :P
+Aquarium Co-Op now there's s thought,seriously mste , your vids are tops.
How much did the tank cost? Thanks.
how about the biggest nano fish tank here in washington ? hmm
+MistahJMix I'm not sure if I can afford that. I'd need like 1000 hastatus corydoras plus chili rasboras :P
Yep pretty much. :D . Goodluck with the build Cory!!!
I noticed your not to keen on cichlids, would you ever consider doing an African tank? maybe tanganyika?
+Kevin Green Sure. I actually like cichlids a lot. It's just from a business standpoint they're bad. I've got cyps and saulosi currently. I've just done a ton of africans in the past. Which doesn't mean I won't again, just right now I'm light on em.
+Aquarium Co-Op correct me if I'm wrong but do you have shell dwelling ones? great videos btw, i like that you keep you videos long, like you said, it's alot more content.
I don't currently have any shellies. But I do like them quite a bit. That's why I own Shelldwellers.com :)
Haven't seen all of your videos but do you do any saltwater? Great fish room and videos
+Gene Alameda (Geno's Reef) No saltwater at the moment. I just don't enjoy mixing saltwater.
Hahaha, nobody does. Hopefully someday we'll see some saltwater tanks in that amazing fish room of yours.
I doubt it. But it'd be likely you'd see brine shrimp breeding ponds etc in the future.
Who, in God's Name, had the butt-hairs to thumbs down THIS vid?!?... *sigh*... Even wild-caught fish would blow their spawn knowing this was to be their new home. Of course I'm exaggerating. But, you get it. Smdh! I guess, no matter what it is, you WON'T please everyone!... Keep up the great work, Cory. And don't stop rambling; I, for one, learn tons of stuff from you... by accident, AND on purpose... Hoo-Ah! :
+Shadowkind Dewar (Eivil S. Grimstroke) Thanks for watching!
Or oddball
I would love an acrylic tank but it's strangely pricey since the price of oil is rock bottom. Where I live, it's about $20 / sq. ft for 3/8" acrylic sheets. Is there a reason why you didn't build a sump tank (i.e. all-in-one aquarium)? Very nice canopy. Is there a matching stand?

How can i get that CO-up shirt
+Jan Games Just check out our online store here. www.aquariumcoop.com/products-page/ Could get one shipped out to ya on Monday.
wait live in Seattle ?!?!?!
+Nicks Exotics Well Technically my shop is in Edmonds. But close to seattle yes.
do you sell anything online like rocks driftwood or plants from your store
Well I'm selling fertz, tshirts, and some foods. In theory other things are rolling out. We intend to do a WYSIWYG rock selection that'll be shipped. We have Dragon ohko Stone, Seiryu Stone, and Zebra Rock. I just need to put some boxes together and start listing them on the site.
sounds great
If they don't like the length of your videos they can go pound substrate!!! Okay ...sand. 8 p
CO-OP*
230 gallon guppy tank? Uh, please don't lol
+ItsNotButterOMG I've got the 360 gallon at the shop filled with guppies. So far I think I'm holding off the urge :P
Don't EVEN worry about a couple of PITA's or lazing about couch surfers with their remotes duck taped to their wrist, who have the attention span of gnats, get easily confused and make negative comments in a pathetic attempt to try and cover up the fact that they operate on a 3rd grade level both socially and intellectually.

+ShelbyRae Lane Nice Rant :)
good job i like your longer vids bud !
