This is the same reason I removed all my mbuna, haps, and peacocks. It came down to that I like my frontosa a lot more. Good call Joey. And rays sound like a great idea!
Also because they killed one. To clarify
Same here... I had black skirts with my 9 inch pleco in a community tank of neons, rosy's,Xrays,rasboras and two khuli loaches.. Just to have them be nipped up and attacked to the point I had to put them in a tank by themselves.. I got the skirts because I wanted some bigger fish to match prince tricky's size, without a aggressive nature. And in turn they became a battering toy for my Rasboras.. And since removed the Rassies and the Skirts to stop further conflicting interactions. But into tanks of mixed rasbora and mixed breed skirts. giving me two awesome 30 gallons with a variety of personalities. But without the hassle of community conflict.
But it still left me with a huge tank in my room that I had plans to make asiatic and communal..I have since gone and adopted two clown loaches, a angel loach and a tiger loach. Of whom pack not only great speed, but some feisty personalities. And So far their getting along great as my pleco's cleanup crew. And are peaceful with the other tank mates who of late I replaced the Rasboras with Green Barbs. And the skirts with Celebes Rainbowfish. Both of whom have some aggression but only in their own schools. So the tank is finally where I want it. And while having a clown loach as a kid was the best thing in the world. I never thought myself able..
The harsh interaction with the skirts lead me back to a fish I wanted as a child. And really reinstalled my love for big loaches. All mine are babies mind you. But with the purpose of them growing up in my care, to be the best they can be inside and out.
Go get your rays man, a heater explosion is hard to take. But thats behind you, and since then things have been great. You've learned and moved on.
Good thing YOU made these mistakes so I don't have to.
what about another very large Asian arowana? after all it's the exact same care as the one you have right now.
YESS! YOURE GETTING BACK INTO THE FRESHWATER STINGRAYS! This has got to be the best day of this entire week!
I've been waiting for rays also, was so looking forward to pups before the accident.
If it "literally" broke your heart, you would be dead.
Touché. ;)
I totally thought you said "Asian Marijuana" and I was like "Ummm well that's an odd fish species..."

OK, I'm not a fish guy, yet I watched this entire video clip. Why? Because it was interesting and very well done. After just a few seconds, I got the sense that I might actually learn a few new things if I hung around and watched, so I did. I learned a lot about a topic that eleven minutes earlier, I'd had no interest in whatsoever. Now eleven minutes later, after watching the whole clip, I'm a bit smarter, and a lot more interested. I had no idea fish had different personalities. I thought they were just fish, you know, just following their instincts to swim, eat and reproduce. I figured fish tanks were sort of like paintings you hang on a wall and just enjoy them because they look cool. But watching this clip, it appears as though fish definitely do have different personalities, and I get the sense that fish can be just as fulfilling and rewarding as a pet dog or cat. Their behavior is so much more complex and interesting than I first imagined, and tank ownership seems to be as rewarding and challenging as any other hobby or interest. So thanks!
Same
It was really put together well
kdmellor You can actually pet some fish! My blood red parrot cichlids will come up your hand if you put your hand in the tank. There are videos on TH-cam of people massaging their parrot cichlids! Mine love to rearrange their decorations and rocks. I have this rock display that I like to put up like a bridge and they always knock it down to hide behind instead 😂
,88o
Glad to hear it was educational .b.cus it was. Im a fish guy and even i learned a thing or two
I tell my kids when I make a reference about you, your knowledge and your channel as a treasure.
I tell my kids Joey is a treasure to the hobby.
You are now a master communicator, perfect pace, awesome editing, never fumbling for words, always really relevant information while broadcast quality entertaining.
A very heartfelt congratulations on a job well done!!!!
True
Thanks my man. That's means a lot to hear. Tell the kiddos Joey said hello!
I like your new recaps at the beginning. makes me feel like I'm being entertained while learning.
+Joshua Olin I like to do it at times to bring more context. Not everyone is a long time viewer. Wish they were, these updates would be a lot easier!
+The king of DIY keep at it! I wasn't being sarcastic. it really makes your videos more enjoyable. for me anyways.
sorry to hear about the tank mates but I'm looking forward to the possible rays. are you shopping yet?
+Joshua Olin I got ya. No worries. I wouldn't say I'm shopping right now, but have a friend that will import for me when we find something I like. Until then, I'll have to build a qt/grow out for them.
+The king of DIY ah. good to hear :)
New build video :D yay :)
That is the most beautiful arowana that I have ever seen (the red hooks were very pretty too, especially the freckled ones, but that arowana is just gorgeous). Even before you said that he was 'visibly happier' after the red hooks were gone, I could really see it. I enjoyed seeing him rub against the bubbles. Seeing happy fish make me happy. Thank you for making this video!
The ending of this video made my eyes swell up with tears. Thank you for sharing your struggles as well as all the great achievements you've made in this hobby. I keep 10 aquariums of my own at home, all managed and DIY/aquascaped by myself. I don't have any friends who "understand" the work that is put into it, and watching your videos as well as other channels gives me that sense of validation I need to not feel so alone in doing what I love. Don''t get me wrong, seeing my fish happy will always be my goal. It's just really encouraging to see what you do and how openly you share your emotional journey with the fish you keep.
maybe you had too many red hooks & since they highly outnumbered him they felt obligated to gang up on him since he was such a jerk in the beginning. or may because they were in the tank 1st they were territorial and felt like he disrespected their space ? or mayyybeeee a combination of both ? perhaps half that number of red hooks introduced into his tank (after being isolated & decontaminated) would work
OMG THAT ENDING!! I CAN NOT WAIT JOEY IT'LL BE GREAT!!
I have absolutely no passion for fish... yet I started watching your videos a few days ago and for some reason I watch at least a couple a day now. I find your videos very interesting and informative and... curious. I started appreciating fish even though I knew nothing about them before I found your channel! Excellent work sir! Keep it up!
Loved the style of this video. The narration and calm voice was so relaxing and nice to watch. Loved it!
YESSS RAYSSSS and I'm so glad this didn't end with "and my arowana died"
Poor little Arowana, I'm glad he got his tank back and is happy. Don't feel too bad because we all make mistakes. Mine was putting a betta fish named Thanatos in a community tank with guppies. Many friends have done this no trouble but Thanatos killed all my fancy guppies overnight. I guess we all get that one fish(or group) that's a butthole.
Every time I go to Wallyworld I take one of their betas and throw it in one of their guppy tanks.
One time, I went back to wallyworld later that night to witness them cleaning out a tank of gore.
Give betta an god name and he wil
Thanatos in Greek means “death” actually, so it’s pretty tragic
thanatos means death.. next time read about it..
yannis zaxaroooo
I still miss Buddy.. I keep watching these old videos.
I absolutely love that you share your mistakes in addition to all success! Awesome video!
How about koi fish? They are large enough not to be eaten. They aren't aggressive but they eat everything.
Much too big for this tank.
They cold water fish! Will not thrive in a heated tank IMO.
Tanked With Aussie Koi can handle a lot of temperature ranges, but this tank is no where near big enough. Koi need at least a 4' deep 'tank' or pond to work their muscles by swimming up and down. It is also recommended to not house them in anything less than 2000g.
Even so, they still do better in slightly colder temperatures than what the aro would like IMO.
I'm surprised that people in North America don't know how popular to keep koi fish in a fish tank in Japan. Although you need a very good filter system and right amount of food.
Bummer about the Red hooks! Glad you've gotten it settled. Even if something typically works it does come down to an individual fish's personality. It was fun to see. Glad the arrow's improving.
Those super worms are freaky looking things.
Tank mates = STINGRAY?!?! YES!
This is the first time I have been in this channel and I love it. You are the fish version of ants Canada
Your aquariums are huge. SO BEAUTIFUL.
So glad I watched till the end. I fully support this decision :)
I did really like the red hooks and it is too bad it didn't work. But damn!!!! Rays!!!! That would be fan-fricken-tastic!
Why didn't you try making a removable divider to use just during feedings?
Vester Rawlins right lol wtf
Vester Rawlins he says it wouldn't be big enough then for the fish
Alexander The grape He was referring to putting a permanent divider in. That is what gave me the idea of one that can be removed when the fish are done eating.
Vester Rawlins oh sorry
They were still attacking him at night and and the bullying was just going to get worse as they become full sized
10:19 "...MY bubbles.."
Shane IIllllllll
bubbles bubbles bubbles
But try discuss fish. I know they aren't very abrasive but I love the idea of like 10 of them swimming around the arowana plus they add a lot of color
He has some old videos with his 500 gallon tank where he had discus in with them - I cant remember why but he decided to stop housing them together.
Aren't discus like really sensitive, too? That wouldn't seem like a good pair for an aggressive fish
***** thats the idea i had in my head. having them grow together or just put adult discus with him. from what I've heard, as long as the fish bigger then the other fishes mouth, he won't go for them but thats more for the little fish I'm not sure how well that applies for this
I always enjoy your videos, get them rays!
love your redhooks!
The arowana was a fish of my childhood. My grandfather and father loved them while my uncle has an arowana now I missed taking care of one. I remember how the fish would bump my father's hand gentle as a sign of affection as my dad feeds it. This video was very nostalgic and I want to take care of one again hopefully I could once I get the right tank
you have one thumbs down for each gallon of your tank 375 ( i am not one of them ) i suggest from now on to build very small tanks 😂you great man. hello from Italy
Can you build me a tank I will pay you
ciao!
PazzaludaVlog u
PazzaludaVlog jinn
PazzaludaVlog ciao!!!! Come staiiii
I've had an arowana , African lung fish , jaguar cichlid , velvet cichlid , wide mouth catfish , red tail catfish , tyre track eel. they have all passed away over the years . the only fish I have left is an upside down catfish that is now 20 years old , he lives alone in a 450 gallon tank. I've never replaced the ones that died and he's the last survivor ...
What makes a catfish "upside down"????
I have one of those i call rocky. He's about 25 years old now. I can't tell if he's alive as he never swims but if you take him out his fin comes right up and he gulps air. So he's alive that's really the only way i can tell if he's alive.
Hes talking about something like a Common Pleco. An algae eater. Some people call them the upside down cat fish as they can sticl and swim to stuff upside down.
a a I have no idea but there a thing
Wow the amount of love and attention you give your pets, too bad most people are not like this.
Your Arowana is such a handsome fish! It's rough when plans don't work out.
I can't believe I am smiling as much as I am at the end of this vid.
Haha my man!
So annoying yet so informative
What is annoying?
Buying fish and having to immediately get rid of them, thats why I have a dedicated empty tank for my arowana
+Matthew Meek ya. It's a big let down. I and many others were excited about them.
+The king of DIY you made a good choice
The situation. It should have worked but it's annoying that you (and the arowana) had to go through that.
Yesss!! finally. I bought my first ray totally because you inspired my about ray keeping. Also my silver arowana is a direct result of watching your videos. Was probably almost as disappointed as you when you lost the leopoldis. Hope to see new rays soon!
Your relationship with fish is admirable! What are your thoughts about people who are mistreating and killing fish for food?
im glad you kept the arowana :)
Awww there's buddy we miss you little guy
How do you know so much about fish! You are amazing at this. Now I want some fish!
I am glad he's OK! That is one beautiful arowana you have! I have a ten gallon tank with a naturally balanced eco system and an air filter that is filled with bio filter media. I use only plant gravel, plants and seashells (for calcium for my shelled critters and pH leveling the natural way) for decoration and smaller fish and critters to hide in! 😀 I am always happy to see healthy fish in others tanks as well.
That Creepy Family. Sorry but HE DEAD
R.I.P. Buddy :(
F
Solitary fish doesn't need tank mates.
A solitary fish requires no company within its environment. Solitary fish was highly depressed now he's happy being by himself!
I have a 15 gallon tank with some neon tetras do you have any good ideas for some potential tank mates ( if it's any help I also have a crypt a moss ball and some snails)
Hey buddy I just wanted to Know if acrylic aquarium is good for fish health because in times corrosion might occur. And if it's good then is there certain grade to acrylic sheets used to build tank ?
clicked by mistake. it was a very entertaining mistake tho, great voice, cool fish, nice water
6/5 would mistake again
hahahahaha! Thanks!
Def a good move on the red hook transplant. Arrow is def happier! Good luck on the next move.
ayyyy jaaay!
Thanks Jay!
When I heard about the arowana ceasing eating, I thought that the arowana was making room in his/her stomach so the other fish would fit in its belly as I've heard of a python doing that.
great video u done well its not about the price of the fish but the long term relationship with it, u learned from this problem
An oscar will be amazing
man I hope nothing important was left in that closest door with that 375 gallon sitting in front of it
hello, could you tell me what did you put in the bottom of the aquarium for the background? it looks nice and simple.
I just got 7 of them. Been watching for many years and still come back to videos I’ve already watched for advice 🤙🏼
I remembered when this happened. I truly miss Buddy
what is the best food for a silver arowana of a finger size
Worms might work from what I've learned
Awesome video! I loved this alot!
Man you are severely passionate. This a a lot work.
During this video he keeps panning over to a dark tank that's churning with white beads- what is that? Is there a video he posted that explains it? New to this channel ☺️
Thanks!
That is my fluidized sump filter. I have a few videos on have to build different types and all about them. Check out my playlist on filters.
The king of DIY Wow! Thanks so much ☺️
The king of DIY cool
The king of DIY could you have done a diagonal partition as an immediate temp remedy? Enough for them all to be able to be able to turn around AND swim the length of the tank? (Again-just an emergency thing)
Feed Arowana Marijuana.
It would probably die
Laplace it would die miserable
Branden Goad No they are not gonna die
LMAOO 💀
He really seems to love the bubbles.. maybe add a bubble curtain for him? set them up so he has to change directions to run through them, like an obstacle coarse? I kinda figured those silver dollars wouldn't work, omnivore?? That means they eat fish right? And they were in a school. So bravery in numbers. Glad you figured it out quick, your arowana looks great.
Roast and eating that one big fish seems more legit than getting rid of all the others.
Maybe a Large pleco would work?
Pleco can scratch the acrylic
+RoadKillFrog did not know that Thanks!
+Taco Pizza Some of them are cool looking.
Yea Some of them are awesome
says someone who has never seen a royal pleco
YES get the rays!
I was just getting ready to ask if the barbel will grow back - when you answered it in the video. Glad to hear it!
That tank in the wall is amazing!!
a friend of mine had 2 arowana 1 gar 1 red tail catfish and a Bichir
How big was his bichir
it had to be almost 2 foot
+Ron Villa nice I have one that's about 10 in with a 20in knife and 15 in tiger Oscar I know they get pretty big was just wondering
What type of arowana im geussing silver. But silver arowana are diffrent these arowanas like goldens super reds they could die from stress but my friend has a super red with a rtc but it was fine except the rtc kept eating most of the food lol
william jason yes it was two silver arowanas he told me one jumped out one day when he was at work and the other one ended up dying because it wouldn't eat after the other one died I guess it missed its friend
That tank next to the door is giving me major ocd
ok u obv don't know what ocd is lmao
Thomas Fam why
need some advice. i have a tank that needs a full new silicone repair and it has a glass inner square for slide along glass lid tops. when i do the new silicone how do i do the top inner square part without cutting off the old silicone and it falling inside the tank? helps really appreciated.
I want to know how you would approach/plan to build a 350 gal bow front aquarium
72" height 18" width 70" length. I am attempting DIY
Imagine buddy is now dead.
0:17 seconds in and I feel like the big mistake was how you getting out that door.
+xclimatexcoldxx open it. Into the next room...
Where do you purchase your fishs5 at? I have a empty 400 gallon tank and I'm looking for a good size fish.
Beautiful fish!
Ray's sound good😋
You should have kept both the red hooks and arowana in a separate tank.
Also, my question, when silver dollars are added as tank mates for arowanna, how many are in a tank at time?
he explains in his video that he doesnt have another tank big enough for the red hooks.
what a great video and channel very informative! I'm about to get back into the hobby I had 1500 gallons at one point but do not have the money any more to afford purchasing new tanks that size. I would love to see some of your videos on how to build a 375 to 400 gallon aquarium.
I appreciate the annotations, since I am hard of hearing. This makes it a LOT easier for me to understand what is being said. My question is: why do some of the words have brackets?
I think you should have put the arowana in first I think he felt like he was a guest not the owner of the tank. in his mind he was in there tank not them in his big differnce I think
Should get another arowana and more rays!
it ain't cheap out of asia.
IF you got around 2000 dollars and are ready to put in Much work for them to maybe work. Go ahead
+Blood forest damn $2000....
in singapore i can buy 4 exact same ones for $2000
theses much more breeders there so
I can find same kind in my are for $200
Do you think the Red Hook would be a good tank mate for red eared slider? They dont hide which is concerning but if they are fast enough to always get away, maybe they are ok?
My Pacu and Arowana got along fine, Pacu would eat broccoli and other veggies, leaving feeders and other food for the Arowana and Clown Knives...that tank thrived for a long time...even had a 3 foot tire track eel...all got along fine...
how about tinfoil barb? ?
The title was my mom when she got pregnant with me
😂😂
could be worse my friends mom looked at him when he pissed her off one day and said i should have swallowed you why did i have to be lazy that day
sean mulhall that's horrible but hilarious😂😂😂
Haley Lee ikr
Andres Amador sameeeeee
I respect how committed you are to your fish👌😂
Anyone watching in 2017? Joeys come a long way!
who have a hobby after watching his videos?
You should get a pair of Oscar fish!
Al Capone yess he needs them
That's what I though he would get and why would he get that many 2 would've done fine
I had a Scleropages Jardinii in a similar sized tank, and what I found great in terms of tank buddies were Clown Pleco. By the time the pair I had had little babies, the Saratoga was chill enough to leave the tiny things alone, and I made a few bucks off of selling them to aquariums and fish specialists when they were big enough.
My set up had pebbles, plant life and logs in it from day one when the Saratoga was quite small though, so I don't think introducing something that has already hurt your fish would help
i have a question about my 35 gallon fish tank. i have two fish, a micky mouse platy and a neon tetra, one of the big ones. my neon tetra is eating my platys fins, to where he can't even swim. they bolth stopped eating, and I have no clue what to do. i have already looked online and can't find anything. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
drawing queen101 It'd probably be a good idea to separates them, if they're having problems. Also, tetras are schooling fish, so you'd need some other neon tetras to school with. As for them not eating, that depends on what your water params are at.
why I am looking at this fish video.....
no rocks, no sand, no plants?!
Yep.
my next tanks well be no accessories either..
yea decorations can injure some fish
9:03
soiledBL00D suprising decorations can be bad
I was also happy to hear that you might get into rays again. The pic of them at the end was like a flash at the end of a movie trailer.
Also, at around 0:24, you showed your other tank now with a bunch of large goldfish. I know you do mostly diy stuff but I'd sure love to see a 30 minute video of them just swimming around. You know, just set up a video camera to record for 30 minutes then upload it.
If you put up a vid like that, I'd never get any work done on my laptop anymore :-)
im looking to get a black banded cat shark and was wondering if and how long would it be able to live in a 40 gallon before i move it to my bigger tank i will order himm online and he will be around 4-7 inches plz need info if anyone can answer this
Have you ever tried oscars?
grassfish01 pls no
I have an oscar, they aren't aggressive but only when something attacks them.
You should've just left him alone
He's doing what people who know about and love animals do. adding to his collection. You'll figure that out once you have this type of connection with your animals, or future animals. its like the new kids at school. try understanding it that way.
Iker Rolls love animals? he killed the smaller fish.
Cee Marie no he didn't.... he gave them away
Kristen R no. you can clearly see this put them in a pillow case. last I checked it won't hold water.
^^ He was using a tool to grab the fish out of the water. He clearly explains what's going to happen to the fish. He did not kill them.
I see door next to the aquarium. Is the door handle smash the aquarium ? or that door open to outside ?
Gorgeous goldfish tank :) Nice tank and fish :) I had a pictus catfish pick on my oscar and one day the oscar turned around and snapped him in half.
You had too many red hook.
I'd cut up the red hooks and feed it to the arawana
I think your mistake was to add the red hooks first. You should priorize the Aruwana, add him first, aclimatize, make him eat first voraciously and then add one red hook at a time. Also, change the food for bigger chunks of fish or something so the Aruwana would eat as soon it drops to the water and the red hooks would eat the remains.
Or I wouldn’t take longer to let the Aruwana suffer so long and had fried the red hooks in the first week😂
I'd move him back into his original tank. Poor guy! Sounds like these red hooks are bullies. Hope you get this resolved soon!
