Checking it out,
Curious if they ship to Canada via USPS international.
How bout Australia? Does anybody know what those Endler looking things with the blue tail were at the beginning of the video? Bout 30 seconds in...
Just ordered some CRS!
I was about to place an order last night, happy I saw this video first
Is there any shipment of fish to Malaysia?
Seems like such a humble guy, this was so nice to watch. Gerry for president
Gerry*
🙂 be humble and the world will be humble in return.😌
It’s great to see someone that’s running a pretty huge operation be so humble and caring about what he does, very much like Cory with the co-op!
I agree!
Cory I can't help but respect you. Thanks for the disclosure. Jimmy's camera's work is amazing.
You can tell when someone is 100% genuine in this hobby, definitely going to buy from there in the future
I ordered two parrot fish from him a couple weeks ago, I had questions about them, so I called. They were very friendly and extremely helpful. I don't know why I was surprised to speak to a real person, maybe it's the world we live in, but I'm proud to be raising two of their wonderful fish. They arrived healthy and beautiful. Thank you for the discount code!
It's awesome to hear the guy still has passion for fish. Aquaristics isn't just a hobby or a job, it's a passion.
As someone who has bought from them, I have to say their customer service and quality of fish are great. They are the first place I go to now to order.
I ordered rummy nose tetras from them. Unfortunately they arrived DOA. No hassles and a quick refund. Excellent customer service. Looking forward to ordering from them again
The best bit was how even after running his very hectic business he has time to enjoy a tank at home. Great video I would love to see more interview type videos like this.
Nice to know that there are dedicated people like Jerry out there, helping us get good quality fish.
That’s super interesting to see how the hobby progressed for him over such a long time
This was such an awesome interview, Gerry must have a crazy amount of knowledge. There were some real nuggets in this and I can only imagine how many cool secrets and strategies he has developed over the years. And I am literally going to the fridge after posting this and putting a piece of carrot in my shrimp tank XD
You might want to use heirloom carrots, they come in many colors like red, yellow, white, violet and more, google them, you might have to grow them on your own tho
If you have a Trader Joe's store, they sell cool carrot colors like yellow and purple.

I'm loving these interviews!! I thought maybe this was an old one. I'm thinking of getting into the wholesale business so these interviews are extremely beneficial.
I am very happy with the the products I have purchased from the Huna. Thank you A.C.
Thank you Aquahuna & Aquarium CoOp for supporting & giving back to the hobby.... all the best from NYC
This was a great interview. I'm really impressed he was able to pivot away from the Walmart contract and still keep the business going strong--it says a lot about his knowledge of keeping healthy fish and shipping fish to customers.
That was a very interesting video especially learning to feed shrimp carrots to improve colour
I'm wondering if it might be toxic for them of they eat too much. Like with humans, if you eat too many carrots your skin will turn orange and it can make you sick.
AKArainkit but if they are in a wholesale environment and are turning them over pretty quickly he may not be feeding them that for too long before being shipped. Just a thought.
it's the beta carotene, works great in my goldfish
This was actually pretty cool, just like the Aquarist podcast
This is a real win win for all your loving customers. I have always been impressed with your fish at your store. So much so, I want to make your store a destination for a vacation. (When all the craziness is over). I’m here in So Cal, there is nothing like your store even remotely close to my area. Being able to order fish from Gerry, to me is like ordering from Aquarium Co-Op. (The excellent standards you’ve established). Thank you for making this opportunity possible.
It’s always a treat to watch Randy interview. I love hear the info he is able to get out of his subjects!
This channel seems really honest and knowledgeable! Its nice 🥰
Been doing the hobby for 8 months now thanks to covid so helps me learn
Welcome to the life style ✌🏽if you live in Washington state you can visit the Co op👍🏽
@@yermailmain206 maybe one day we can travel again 🥺
I really enjoyed this video. So much knowledge and passion. Plus I love the team work between Aquarium co-op and Aquahuna!
Team aquarium co-op we really appreciate your integrity and transparency in everything you do.I've been keeping fish for about 5 years now and have had great success thanks to you. I'm sure I would have given up long ago if it wasn't for your great knowledge and motivation to keep expanding knowledge and progressing in the hobby. Every order I have placed from you has been shipped super fast and arrives in perfect condition. Thanks again!
Great to hear someone speaking so open and honest about their own company
Panda Corys after been shipped again : oh ... Here we go again
Awesome interview! I'm planning to order from Aqua Huna when I get the "back in stock" email on certain fish. Great content from the Co-op as always!
Honesty and integrity a powerful thing ...was lovely to watch from humble beginning to a small company not phased by loosing a contract but sort other avenues to progress further wow ...
This is seriously my favorite channel to listen to as I chip away at college work
I’d be interested to hear what is his most challenging fish to bring in as an importer.
I always love the videos that Jimmy films he really is very skilled. I also like seeing randy in videos it would be cool to see his fish room update.
Absolutely awesome interview/conversation. Gerry is the man!!
What a very humble man. Thanks for sharing content like this!
So cool to see a live aquarist podcast interview. Jerry seems like a good dude that cares deeply about what he’s doing for the hobby.
Thanks for being a great contributor to the aquarium hobby Corey and all of Aquarium Co-Op, and for showing us so many others who do the same.
Berry seems like a very down to earth guy! Glad you are recommending a fish shipper, especially for those that don't have a good local fish store to buy from.
Nice to see a wholesaler feeding their fish with fresh vegetables. It shows that they care.
Gotta love moms and dads….having supportive parents is awesome!
Such a chill guy!! Enjoyed every second of this video!!
I've had great success getting fish from Aquahuna. Thanks Aquarium Co-Op for highlighting this company.
Great video as always! Love the Coop!
Such a nice and humble guy. Thanks for this video Co-Op!!!!!
Love this kind of content! Good job Randy with the interview!
Jerry is the kind of guy you want to succeed. Very humble and just wants to do the right thing.
What a great human being! Nice to hear such a successful venture. Thank you Aquarium Co op for sharing!
Great video! He's so humble and seemed really easy to talk to.
I bought 16 male guppies and 6 nerite snails a couple of months ago from Gerry and they are all absolutely gorgeous! After some bad experiences with online and local fish stores, this is a real treat. I asked and question and got a fast response. 10/10 would buy from Gerry again because I know my fish will get here safe and healthy.
That panda cory story is amazing, especially considering the pandas aren’t particularly hardy!
Thanks for sharing this interview!
I have bought from AquaHuna and I am VERY happy with my purchase! Thanks for featuring them in this video!
I really enjoy these type of videos where we get insight into the person behind the business. Always interesting to hear their background and how they became successful in the aquarium industry. Gerry in particular came across as a very sincere person and this seems supported by how Randy genuinely appeared to enjoy this interview.
I'm glad I could meet Gerry :) Great prices and service at Aqua Huna, highly recommended!
My first order came from Aqua Huna last week. I couldn’t be more pleased. All my fish came healthy and colored up as soon as I put them in my aquarium. Will be ordering from them again! Thank you for the recommendation Aquarium Co-Op!
Yes another fish supplier tour! Been looking forward to this one!
What legend. Its awesome to have someone like him supplying the hobby
Making Sundays great! Thank you aquarium co-op.
Thank you for telling us this story, I am always fascinated by business startup stories! I just purchased shrimp from Aqua Huna for the first time. I am thrilled with the quality and speed of shipment. Thank you! Gerry!
This should become a regular series. I watched the whole thing and now want part 2 and 3.... each one can cover a different aspect of the business or type of fish.
Watched the whole thing twice. Gerry really knows his stuff. I can see why you guys have endorsed him.
Glad to see an online retailer that really cares about the hobby not just making money. Will be making my next fish purchase from them!
I love the full transparency says a lot about aquarium co op. Sending love from Ohio!!!
I literally just watched the newer video tour of this place. I didn’t know this vid existed. Man I’m so excited I found this one. The newer one was awesome as well, but this one is say in my opinion is a bit btr because we get to learn more about the owner and I think this is very important. We get to see how awesome this gentleman is, how honest, how much of a hobbyist he is, how much he cares we get quality animals and how hard he’s worked to get where he is today. So fricken epic man! If your a nerm you will love this! 💯🤙🏼❤️
He just made my day. He seems so genuine and full of joy. He is precious let’s protect him please
I have been watching for a while now loved the interview!!
Love the editing in this video!

Seems like a nice guy to do business with. He understands both sides of the business very well. Good job ACOP
