Saw this great video and drove straight down there and got those two oscars and two silver dollars that look like red belly piranhas. Thanks! Also, the owner is awesome and there's a LOT of nice fish in there. He actually opened the mouths of the silver dollars to prove to me they were not piranhas (and I didn't even ask!).
@@CichlidBros Yeah, I just had hip surgery so he brought them out and put them in my truck too! They're acclimating now, in a 200g, plenty of room. Thanks again!
@@Maggie19701 What I didn't say is that the tank BELOW the silver dollars WAS labeled "piranhas", and they looked identical! To be honest, I think I'm going to go back and get more.
Justin is such an awesome dude. I've learned a lot from him and he even installed his custom corner filter in my tank. It's so cool to see him grow his business over the years. I remember buying fish from him in 2013 when he was breeding cichlids in his basement.
Hello, I also have a question related to the betta fish, namely: with which species of fish can we keep it in the same aquarium in your opinion? I wish you all the best and only good!
Great video! Definitely worth a visit, im lucky to be only 20 mins away. also he has great prices on his frozen food. I missed the black friday sale on those FOGO.
I love this place my heart skipped a beat when I saw you visited there I’ve gotten multiple fish from datz that I’ve had for years love these guys they have great food that my fish go crazy for love to see them getting the credit they deserve 🔥
That was an awesome tour. Great camera work on the fish. He sure has a lot of beauties. Maybe in the future we will see a white lips when the babies grow some. I can only hope. Peace. Love the cherry barbs!
I gotta tell you Troy ,this was an amazing video because I used to collect cichlids and have never seen so many different types of species in a pet store. Otherwise great content and nice choice of barbs.
I definitely gotta check this place out!. I never knew about it until I saw this video. It's about 50 minutes away from me but it looks like it's worth the drive. I won't be coming home empty handed haha
The owners are truly the best. As someone who's family visits weekly, for feeders, I can truly say there has never been a bad experience. They're passionate and knowledgeable about what they do.
Datz is the BEST! We haven't been working with fish lately. But they've been amazing with our snakes. I can't wait to get anothet fish tank and bring some of these beauties home. ♡ Im so stoked that Datz is getting the credit they deserve.
This is the best store ever! Justin and Christine work so hard and have so much knowledge! Paxton is the smartest 10 year old I know when it comes to fish! Keep it up Paxton, you’re doing amazing!!!
You can not beat DATZ!!! Stocked all kinds of beauties from their location. I’ve drove from over 3 hours multiple times and its been worth it every time. The owners are such great friendly people. They do it all, check em out for any reptiles also!
I used to order from Justin when he was breeding in his basement. I’ve always loved his quality, prices, and customer service. I’m all the way in Cleveland,Oh but I’ll be coming down to see the store in person. So glad to see him up and running
This is by far my absolute favorite store about 1 1/2 away from home and happy to drive every time...Justin and his family are a treasure to their community just great people!!! This video makes me miss the store really need to take a drive soon.
Those Rhodesii get huge. I was collecting in Itungi port in breeding season and locals were netting lots of fish daily. They had buccochromis R. So big that i could not even ship them. This video brings out many memories from my collecting on Lakes for years.I had so many plans to do but logistic of staying iin Tanzani send me back to USA. BTW. it is Exo-co-chromis. not exochromis..Great set up nevertheless.
I'm thinking of heading here this weekend, thanks for the video! Quick question though, exactly what does he mean by "let them be punching bags it is what it is"? Not sure I'm understanding but just because they aren't breeding, then what? they get punched? Please tell me what this means.
Awesome, I'd highly recommend it! I think he just meant that they'd act as dither fish and distract others from fighting. But the fish I saw weren't beat up much
Thanks for your input, but this is just the common name. Rivulatus were actually the first GT collected anyway so to argue about common names is pedantic in my opinion
Awesome store, the owner is very passionate but unfortunately, it is very heavily African cichlids which are of zero interest to me (with the exception of West Africans and a few choice Tanganyikans). Best of luck!!

Thank you for coming out! I hope you enjoy them! It was a pleasure getting to meet you as well!
Thanks for the info and I have to get up there and check it out

That’s awesome! He was a great guy and knew a ton. We could’ve talked cichlids for hours!
Wish I had a shop like that close by!
An amazing aquatics shop. Thank you for the look around.
Any time!
Such a diverse selection of fish. Justin does a great job. Thanks for the tour Troy
Thanks for watching!

Nice to see Datz on here. I was just there dropping some mbuna off. Great place and awesome owners.

Troy look like you had a blast. Great video 💯
Thanks man! It was unreal!
Man little dude is well versed 👌🔥
Paxton was awesome!
Loved the tour! Paxton knows more about fishkeeping at 11'ish years old than I do at....well...not 11'ish.
Haha yep!
This guys passion and knowledge makes me want to get back into the hobby.
Awesome. Come on back!
I gotta tell you Troy ,this was an amazing video because I used to collect cichlids and have never seen so many different types of species in a pet store. Otherwise great content and nice choice of barbs.
Great tour, Troy. Justin knows his stuff and his son was so smart too.

Haha for sure. I’ll be going back soon
@CichlidBros do they have a wide variety of mbuna's?
The owners are truly the best. As someone who's family visits weekly, for feeders, I can truly say there has never been a bad experience. They're passionate and knowledgeable about what they do.
Comment #2 yay! Love the fish tours! Love cichlid bros. Another big custom tank? Wow 😮 you’re rich lol!
Haha, thanks for watching!
Honestly the best fish store I have ever been in. Got my red pike cichlid from there.
That’s awesome
Literally my favorite store 😅 go there at least twice a month
Love it!
Fantastic place!
Datz is the BEST! We haven't been working with fish lately. But they've been amazing with our snakes. I can't wait to get anothet fish tank and bring some of these beauties home. ♡ Im so stoked that Datz is getting the credit they deserve.
I hope you get that 5 star general!
Soon!
Amazing knowledge, Justin and his lad know their stuff, brilliant show.
Oh Oh Troy, I remember your reply. lol time 19:41 Mdoka white lips I'm so hoping a pair go home!
Love the mdokas!
Awesome store, owner is amazingly knowledgeable. Love the father son duo. I wish we had local owners this passionate and friendly
Definitely agreed. Lucky to have them fairly closeby
This is the best store ever! Justin and Christine work so hard and have so much knowledge! Paxton is the smartest 10 year old I know when it comes to fish! Keep it up Paxton, you’re doing amazing!!!
Definitely agree!
Definitely going there this weekend
Nice!
Absolutely stunning fish stock and so healthy !!
Wow! Wish I lived in the area (apart from winter😂)
Great tour Troy!
Thanks!
Cherry barbs have been a long time favorite of mine. Very underrated fish. You do need a bunch of them but they are an awesome fish.
Very nice, and agreed!

What an awesome mom and pop shop. Their son is so mature and knows more about fish than me, impressive stuff.
Thanks for the long fun fish shopping video bro...
Enjoyed it 😊❤
Thanks for watching!
Yes!! I've been waiting for you to go! The absolute BEST fish store !
Can’t believe it took me this long to get there!
Justin is a cool dude .
Loving the warehouse racking. That can hold so much weight.
What a awesome store
🤙🏼🤙🏼
I'd love to have a store like this nearby! 🤩
I am amazed by the variety of the fish at this store.
Pretty crazy!
Awesome store
That little kid is a G
I go there every other week and I swear he always has something new there it’s fantastic
Love that!
Those rhoadesii 😮
Those Rhodesii get huge. I was collecting in Itungi port in breeding season and locals were netting lots of fish daily. They had buccochromis R. So big that i could not even ship them.

Yeah that’s awesome you got to do that!
Recently added a Ellioti cichlid to my 100 gallon. Highly recommend they got crazy personality and overall just more flashy and “peaceful” foremouths
Agreed, i had one which got to 6 years old, they are so cool
@@R3ef yh they’re amazing to watch especially during non feeding time
Seen that 5 star General. I got 2
Awesome
BANGERRRR
Unreal store man!
That’s one awesome fish place!
Definitely!
I live in Thailand so I can forget that store unfortunately
Very cool place!
I live 30 minutes from there, I'll have to check it out one day soon.
Definitely go check it out!
Dude I pass this place all the time when I do sports trips for work and i always wanna go in so now i have to go!
That’s awesome! Highly recommend it
Dope video is it open to the public
Definitely open to public, towards the end of the video, Justin mentioned their hours
Justin is a book of knowledge with cichlids
Definitely is!
Gave me an idea to start some colonies of African cichlids all over again.
I don't know how he does it. That looks overwhelming!
Great store
Unique fish
WOW!
❤
Very nice
Good video amigo i have a question which cichild do You recomended to me for 75 gallon cichild tank?
Can you please ask if the snake you filmed was a Miami corn snake I've been looking for one with that coloration forever
Call the store tomorrow, they are great
They are California red sided garters. We hopefully will have babies in 2025.
What is the temperament of the blue sapphire cichlid?
I'm thinking of heading here this weekend, thanks for the video! Quick question though, exactly what does he mean by "let them be punching bags it is what it is"? Not sure I'm understanding but just because they aren't breeding, then what? they get punched? Please tell me what this means.
Awesome, I'd highly recommend it! I think he just meant that they'd act as dither fish and distract others from fighting. But the fish I saw weren't beat up much
Does he ship fish?? I'd love to shop here for my African cichlid tank,he's got some unique OB's
Do they ship to other states?
I believe they do
👍👍👍
Do they stock many South American cichlids?
Cichlid Bro goes to the most EPIC Cichlid aquarium, and buys............Cherry Barbs 😅
Haha. I’ll be back for cichlids
What male to female ratio did he give you for the cherry barbs?
About 50/50
@cichlidbros have you been to Birds and Beasts in Crystal Lake?
Nope. Any good?
@@CichlidBros its my local lfs and they are great with advice and fish. Def check it out!
Those were Rivulatus SP White Saum, not true Green Terrors, which are Salsbergi and completely different fish.
Thanks for your input, but this is just the common name. Rivulatus were actually the first GT collected anyway so to argue about common names is pedantic in my opinion
Bummer.... too far away for me to visit.
😔
Nice place though I would never have any Plecs in with Discus !!
They stick on their sides and suck the slime off the Discus overnight !!!
I do not agree. I’ve had plenty of discus do fine with Plecos.
@ They are fine until they are not .. maybe as well to routinely check the sides of the Discus for the tell-tale suction marks
Pretty sure you should have far more female Cherry barbs than males incidentally .. ratio 2:1 or 3:1
No I don’t think you’re correct, but thanks
@@CichlidBros - its a well known fact ..
I won't state my age - but - damn, fish have gotten more expensive these days.
$5-6 per tetra. Really seems to have become an expensive hobby?
Awesome store, the owner is very passionate but unfortunately, it is very heavily African cichlids which are of zero interest to me (with the exception of West Africans and a few choice Tanganyikans). Best of luck!!
The only thing I didn't like what he said was the deformed he leaves in to get beat up! 😢 otherwise some beautiful specimens.
You probably go make him an offer and take him home... It didn't get beat up and what do you think it's chances in the wild?
@lmt6600 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 always one!.
Why red devil cichlid is not aggressive to giant gourami and green severum?
@cichlidbros
An hour drive to a fish store is nothing.
Cool
