The old version of this aquarium was basically my childhood. I used to hang out there (or at least tried to) while my parents went shopping at the store nearby. The turtles were my favourite, but the variety kept me there. Nice to see some coverage
So glad you call out unethical things within the shop. For the most part it looks like they take great care of the tanks and fish look healthy. With those fancy goldfish they've been bred in ways that make them so prone to disease and illness, I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy those even if they may look 'cool'
@@OscarLewisFilms Sad reality of it. A lot of these shops rely on casuals that don't know any better and will go for the weirdest, most colorful fish they can see.
Idk how I chanced on this channel, but I live literally 5 minutes away from this shopping centre, KM Trading, and I've seen this store sooooo many times when grocery shopping with the fam. Never gave it a second thought. Really cool to know what they've got in there.
I love how you called out the water in those cups was so little. I dont think because their are new betta fish coming they should neglect the old ones.
Yeah, that was really disturbing. The answer "New ones are coming" .. and? They seem to have plenty of water in the store. The cups are too small too. What's wrong with people?!😡
@@vivienleigh4640 Al mundo siempre vienen nuevos seres humanos y a las personas mayores no las matan ¿o si? Lo siento por mi comparación pero es realmente estúpido lo que el tipo dijo acerca de los peces betta. Pobres peces...
Thank you! You did a great job at understanding the challenges of selling fish but also knowing where change can happen to help this hobby thrive ethically.
Definitely an interesting shop but it looks like they do a pretty good job, for the most part anyway. Room for improvement but they definitely do a lot better then I ever could.
This was the most beautiful fish store I’ve ever seen! I’m so glad you asked about the poor Betta’s in such little water and told them not to carry the paint injected fish! 🐟🐠🐡🌹💙
I truly respect your concern for the fish's quality of life, and I can only imagine how difficult it would be to call out unethical practices while 'on set'. In the moment, with the employees right there. You did well. The stock range is great but the choices being made here? Are not going to encourage appropriate and responsible aquarist behaviour. So pleased to see one of my fave TH-camrs, who actually got me into reefing, doing the right thing.
There’s nothing to call out. It’s a fish store. They are not going to treat these fish like pets And so what you would do for them at home because the fish are not their pets, they are their product. I don’t like the conditions dogs are kept in at dog shelters, but none of those dogs are there to stay and therefore the living conditions aren’t set up for pet dogs
Hehe I spent 9 months over there. Except for maybe the high end stores, you wont find a Dubai citizen working in a store. You might find a high up manager but not a worker bee. I loved THE Dubai mall and its aquarium. Only place I have been where you can spend time looking at the aquarium, go to PF Changs(their version of a mall McDonalds) next to it and go across the hall and randomly come across a dark room with a full size dinosaur skeleton. And then there is the water show and Berge Khalifa just outside. Neat video, it brough me back a couple years
This video literally had me laughing out loud. I would have gone nuts in this store as well! And the rose ceremony cracked me up. Thanks for the laughs and visual delights. Hi from Australia 🇦🇺💚💛
The last time I watched one of your videos it was close to you celebrating 10,000 subscribers! You've come so far, 1.2 million subscribers now! Crazy! I rewatched a couple of the videos and it makes me miss this hobby. I still have my 5ft tank but its been sat empty for years now. Anyway, your hard work over the years has clearly paid off. Congratulations!
ive been here for 6 years and i didnt know this shop exists, looking at the planted tanks in your video made me drool. I only knew the fish shops in karama but they were relatively small and the small planted tank are treated less than the ones in this shop. and i work nearby KM trading too, so ill drop by and assemble a nano tank soon
I live in uae as well and if your in Sharjah there is bunch of fish stores at one place with animals like peacock deer as a pet there not to many exotic fish but some of theme ade
Im from kuwait and im glad that youve been in some arabs countries ❤️ If you want to explore more from other neighbouring in the middle east, carefull because few people (arabs) dont want to be on videos specially ladies. There is a great pet store here in kuwait. Tc
it's the same for every fish in every shop of you notice they will put way too many fish In the tanks but this is because if the shop sells a lot of fish they won't have them there for too long before they get sold even the best of the best have to do it that's why they don't have much decorations or plants in the majority of the tanks they wouldn't be able to keep them looking nice cos of having to catch the fish and would cost too much also I agree however it's not fair but it's a business untill you're at home hope I don't sound like a know it all 👍👍🤣
As I understand it, the Arowana is a very ancient fish. They can be found both in Africa and the Amazon basin of So. America. The long ones are from the Amazon river and the short ones are from somewhere else. I lived in England for a while and there was a shop called Shelly Aquatics. I wonder if they are still in business. Their prices were high but their fish are excellent. (not was). Maybe they are still there.
That is actually a really cool, and well rounded store. I expected to walk into the run of the mill LFS, but I was wrong. It’s much more than that to say the least. All kinds of animals.
If you identified that this store is exotic to you, I'd recommend you travelling to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I promise you that "exotic" is just the least fancy word you would use to describe how diverse they are ^^
Can you do a guide for setting up salt water tanks. How to set up the water before adding the salt. Adding the salt. Setting up the tank with all equipment needed with a sump and without. Cycling the tank. Setting up the tank. Adding corral and fish. I’m new to salt water and haven’t seen/found a guide that covers all of this.
OMG! I can't believe how lucky I am to be just around this fish shop. I bought all my fish and fish keeping supplies here. I didn't realize how exotic those other fishes are. More to learn for a beginner to the hobby. 🧐
The Cichlid you mistakend for a Flowerhorn Hybrid is a Jewel Cichlid. Very aggressive. That is a cool store. Thankyou very much for sharing. Take care Sir. 👍🙂❤
What an awesome fish/flower store, their water is clean and Crystal clear, and they have soma amazing specimens for sale, just a great find George. 👍🏴
The old version of this aquarium was basically my childhood. I used to hang out there (or at least tried to) while my parents went shopping at the store nearby. The turtles were my favourite, but the variety kept me there. Nice to see some coverage
OMG SAME but then we moved, it's sad to see your childhood slip away
You are a gem of a person. Those Bettas def. seem neglected. You pointing it out made waves in the fish loving community. Kudos to you buddy!
TRUTH
Uhh... Pls don't go to philippine's pet stores- THEY PUT BETTAS IN SMALL JAM CONTAINERS.

Yup 😎👍
Same goes for most aquarium fish in the trade, bettas, flowerhorns, any balloon variety if fish, glo fish. The list is endless
@@OscarLewisFilms Sad reality of it. A lot of these shops rely on casuals that don't know any better and will go for the weirdest, most colorful fish they can see.
Especially in DUBI boy got guts💀
flowerhorns are unethical too but all hobbyists tend to ignore that for some reason lol
Love that you called them out and balanced the critique so it was clearly serious but not too aggressive. Hopefully they will take it to heart
Idk how I chanced on this channel, but I live literally 5 minutes away from this shopping centre, KM Trading, and I've seen this store sooooo many times when grocery shopping with the fam. Never gave it a second thought. Really cool to know what they've got in there.
I love how you called out the water in those cups was so little. I dont think because their are new betta fish coming they should neglect the old ones.
Looked like due to the cups being sat on top of the heat from the led light causing quicker evaporation - either way not good for the betta fish
Yeah, that was really disturbing. The answer "New ones are coming" .. and? They seem to have plenty of water in the store. The cups are too small too. What's wrong with people?!😡

Its frigged up
@@vivienleigh4640 fr honestly it takes less than half a second to put some water or even dechlorinate some

There’s always gonna be room for improvement because these are not personal aquariums for pets, they’re aquariums they’re keeping fish in to sell

He didn't answer your question...but you caught that anyway. Good shyt asking wassup with the beta fish!💯
I live in uae as well and if your in Sharjah there is bunch of fish stores at one place with animals like peacock deer as a pet there not to many exotic fish but some of theme ade
Overall seemed like they take better care of the fish then most stores I've been to in the us .
all the fish in a line @4:35 had me dying hahahaha
Most amazing exotic fish & flower... store I have seen so far in 60 years of my life!
Some beautiful aquascaping on several of those tanks. Batta, Betta fish - whatever ! 😲😳😬 🤣😂🤣
From ipoh,malaysia to dubai..im so proud..🥰🇲🇾♥️
❤❤🎉🎉
Ωραίο βίντεο Γιώργο! Μπράβο!!
I chuckled every time you admired a guppy. I have them in with my piranhas and that get eaten daily, many of them have the cool decorative tails.
Im from kuwait and im glad that youve been in some arabs countries ❤️
If you want to explore more from other neighbouring in the middle east, carefull because few people (arabs) dont want to be on videos specially ladies. There is a great pet store here in kuwait. Tc
Glad you posted, it’s been a little while since you made a vid
Poor betta, very unethical and as a betta owner myself, it breaks my heart to see them in such small amounts of water.
He was saying they just came in. I think they were just un bagged and getting ready to be put into their holding tanks.
oooh look at me, im so disappointed oooh
All fish stores put bettas in cups it’s common knowledge really, but you can give bettas a better life
it's the same for every fish in every shop of you notice they will put way too many fish In the tanks but this is because if the shop sells a lot of fish they won't have them there for too long before they get sold even the best of the best have to do it that's why they don't have much decorations or plants in the majority of the tanks they wouldn't be able to keep them looking nice cos of having to catch the fish and would cost too much also I agree however it's not fair but it's a business untill you're at home hope I don't sound like a know it all 👍👍🤣

you should have asked them how they maintain the water so clean in every tank. they are doing a great job for that
Preuss pets Lansing Michigan is #1 most interesting fish store they have a crazy saltwater section as well as freshwater
That is actually a really cool, and well rounded store. I expected to walk into the run of the mill LFS, but I was wrong. It’s much more than that to say the least. All kinds of animals.
Hi! That shop is in Oud Metha. I saw that shop by accident. I was looking for an ice scooper at KM when I get passed this shop.

“That one’s pretty, that one’s pretty, that one’s…dead” 😂
Yo that red beta is by far my favorite fish in the entire store
Very nice ring, thank you very much 👍🏻
Pea puffer is a good beginner fish?

I like you, you’ve got my support
My Favourite Exotic Shop..

Your content is unmatched. Top notch always.

The Cichlid you mistakend for a Flowerhorn Hybrid is a Jewel Cichlid. Very aggressive.
That is a cool store.
Thankyou very much for sharing.
Take care Sir. 👍🙂❤
i bred them for years, they are extremely territorial and when breeding will chase anything near it for the lenght of a 6ft aquarium
Yeah, like a 4 dollar fish. Breeds like crazy. Not the greatest of cichlids. Lol
@@AA-zv6yo Porca la miseria. It is cheaper where you are.
Here in the U.K. it is the equivalent of 7-8 dollars.

H!! Great video and really one of the best of best aquarium i have ever seen in my life......hats off to the owner of the Aquarium :)
Great place to shop for all your aquarium needs🙂

Awesome video from india 🇮🇳
Those turtles are Red eared sliders and the cichlid is s Jewel Cichlid I think :)

Love From India 🇮🇳❤️
at our place in Indonesia, pearl arowana fish is only 5 to 20 dollars, because arowana fish is native to Indonesia so the price is cheap here
Keep safe. From the Philippines yeahhh!!!!
Question did u come to ajman aquarium?
Nice tour 👍
The crayfish was so cute
I live in dubai and I have never gone here will definently go soon.
Pilipino number 1!
What a fantastic store and a handsome man
This is a super small shop where i have been. There are shops 3 times bigger than this in Dubai.
where were the bottom feeder section? love plecos
i used to live there when i was younger, my dad only went to it once tho, and i didn’t go so i’m kinda regretting that now
We need “fresh water scrub” merch!!
Every petsmart & Petco in LA I’ve been to has the injected color fish- seem super common
