What people need to consider about facilities like this is the more efficient we can make aquaculture, the less of an impact our hobby has on the ocean.
4 years late to the comment but, this is so true. people are so hypocrit. its fine to take out from the ocean than aquaculture? i think not. this is way better than harvesting constantly out of the ocean
This is pretty cool. Yes it's pretty heavily stocked but that's common with fish breeding. I saw no unhealthy fish, all very clean tanks and water so imo nothing wrong here. A well thought out breeding setup and expanding.
Great video and this way of raising Clowns for tanks is better than catching in the wild when they used to knockout fish. Once the fish are sold they mostly go to owners who treat them like gods.
I absolutely abhor any deviation from naturally coloured clowns. It was an Ocellaris clownfish that got me fascinated with marines as a child. Saying that, i am over the moon that people have found a way of making enough money to sustain clownfish culture. It is a fantastic thing to lower the impact our hobby has on the wild. Great video Jake and i hope that and any other facility like it flourishes.
Thanks Jake for showing us a truly amazing sight. I have come to Clown fish keeping at the age of 70 having come back to UK from working in the desert more sand than water. it is a true eye opener.
Thanks for all the work in producing these vids. Great looking clowns. i’m all for captive bred specimens, but i’m still partial to the common strains on the market. It’s a lot of hard work to do what they do. Thanks again for sharing!
really interesting setup, it seems the asian market just really knows their shit. also interests me how they dont seem stressed with so little space, i wonder how that works
The aquarium in Monte Carlo has a tank with hundreds of clownfish and they display the same pattern of ball-schooling in one ball even though the tank had lots of space.
This facility is beyond belief, it truly is amazing, I have never seen so many clown fish under one roof, and the water quality is Cristal clear. When the more unusual strains become more available to the world market, it’s going to be awesome. The breeder is truly dedicated to his hobby/ business, fantastic video, cheers 👍
Hello, I love the setup your filming. I'm interested in the "over the tank biological filtration". Can you give me the name of the company that makes it?
Most western hobbyists don't have access to tropical waters, stock is expensive and daily salt water changes are prohibitive both in time and money. This reminds me of goldfish just with salt.
@@robert6106 Most asian hobbyists don't have enough space, Don't have cool waters. Tanks and other equipment are expensive and we too don't have time. What you are seeing is a fish exporter so they have to cramp fish. our fish shops are small even the famous ones are small while for western countries most fish shops are the size of supermarkets. We make do with what little space with have and cramping fishing together is how we keep livestock cheap. I'm sure your fish shops would do daily water changes too.
Cool video once again. I would've loved so their rotifer and pod production - or was that off limits too? Any other pages regarding info for marine fish breeding? I'm reading into it atm. There's not too much going on in Europe regarding captive breeding :(
I kind of panned over the food production on the way to the larvae, but definitely check out the Coral Beauty Video for a look at hw it's done on a large scale. th-cam.com/video/AqK6bu3g538/w-d-xo.html
Can you please tell me about the broodstock feeding habit followed over their for maturing the sub adult clownfish and a big thanks to show the variety of clown fish.
Stephen Olner it's not really about what people say, if you have 70 clown dish in a tank, you cannot go 1 week in holiday anymore. So to breed some and keep maybe a handful of clown fish sure isn't a problem, but nobody can mass product them as a hobbyist (or anyway it's not a hobby anymore but a job ^^)
This video is mind blowing I love all the different pattenation ( my husband only likes the original occelaris type so I don't think I'm going to be getting anything like these anytime soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍😍😍😍
Very minimal, most of the tanks had no lighting, only what's overhead. The lighted aquariums are fish for sale and they had generic t5 tubes & LED strips just to see them
Truly mesmerizing….i would literally work there for free just so I can be around such beautiful fish…. You can really tell the owner has a passion for all those fish I didn’t see NOT ONE dead fish in any tanks…. Kudos to your for making this video new sub here brother
UV light from ANY fluorescent is definitely known to stimulate the onset of melanin, the black pigment. But the red color is mostly affected by pigments from food
At my local fish store there was this clownfish with the normal orange white and black stripes but the dorsal fin had no black it was really cute though I’m gonna buy it when my tank cycle is finished
Hey Jake, Im very interested since the production of this video what ever became of the clown fish with blue colors, any updates from Taiwan that you can share?
I've seen some 'color' lamps for aquariums, particularly in asia, to bring our red colors, but these use actual red LEDs to make that red & orange color pop, but it's usually for arowanas and blood parrot cichlids.
What people need to consider about facilities like this is the more efficient we can make aquaculture, the less of an impact our hobby has on the ocean.
highly underrated comment, absolutely.
Agreed. That is the most important thing in my opinion.
4 years late to the comment but, this is so true. people are so hypocrit. its fine to take out from the ocean than aquaculture? i think not. this is way better than harvesting constantly out of the ocean
And soon we have clown fish like we have goldfishes..... I'm for protecting the ocean but against overbredded fishes
Should have never made hybrid marine fish. It’s not natural and if some get let lose in the wild you’re going to ruin the eco system
This is pretty cool. Yes it's pretty heavily stocked but that's common with fish breeding. I saw no unhealthy fish, all very clean tanks and water so imo nothing wrong here. A well thought out breeding setup and expanding.
Facts tho
I guess I am boring because I like just plain old clownfish.. Although if blue colored ones were produced I'd be down for those..
Rip Jake 😢 The hobby has gained tremendously from your years of work and knowledge...Shall the legacy live on forever!!!
Damn Jake, I’ve learned so much from you. Some of my favorite videos. You will be missed
are you snoop cat?
That was amazing!! Thanks for taking the time to video for us. Love the ball schooling so insane
Great video and this way of raising Clowns for tanks is better than catching in the wild when they used to knockout fish. Once the fish are sold they mostly go to owners who treat them like gods.
What an amazing place! Thanks so much for taking the time to show us! Big thumbs up!
Thanks Jake for the time it took to take this footage & For the generosity of the owner as well. Amazing clownfish and facility
Thanks Jake for your hard work. Love these beautiful clown fish.
AWESOME! I really enjoyed the videos from all your stops in Taiwan!! Safe travels!
I absolutely abhor any deviation from naturally coloured clowns. It was an Ocellaris clownfish that got me fascinated with marines as a child.

14:28 can we talk about the fact this clownfish literally looks like he has a skull mask on!?
The things I’d do to have such a beautiful fish I swear
most amazing fish store ive seen..

It's really hard to beat a perfect mature specimen of many wild clownfish, I'm partial to bluestripes (A. chrysopterus) and wild true perculas myself.
Totally Awesome! Thank you for sharing this with us! Keep it up!
Love this video Jake, what a treat to have visited 😍
This vid is 2 years old but it is still the most amazing video on captive bred clownfish.... Totally thumbs up!.. 👍
Thanks so much for such a cool video. I can just imagine how cool it must have been to have been there in person.
It is mind blowing, I have never seen that many clown fish before.
Thank you for sharing this with us. :)
Great video as always.
Awesome variety of clowns. Oive that nanobox shirt as well, Dave rocks!
Can you post a link of your distributor, for these exact clowns
Nothing can beat the original clownfish
Love me a wild true percula clown
really interesting setup, it seems the asian market just really knows their shit. also interests me how they dont seem stressed with so little space, i wonder how that works
Absolutely amazing footage 👍🏻
I love this guy. I was so sad to learn he passed away and the circumstances around it.
At least he got to live his short life doing what he loved.
wow incredible! Good work Jake
Awesome video man! I love clowns so much!
Hey Jake! Love the video. I’m going to try to swing by there and do a Matt’s reefrank special as I ride thru the area. Thanks for the overview.
You're 'riding' through Taiwan?
Awesome. Thanks for video
Reminds me of a puppy mill
Beautiful clown fish. Tanks for the video.
The aquarium in Monte Carlo has a tank with hundreds of clownfish and they display the same pattern of ball-schooling in one ball even though the tank had lots of space.
Omg..! Everything types of super clownfish! Speechless. Very² cool man!! Regards
The best intro music on utube
Jake, keep up the good work! But get some rest soon!
Thanks AOmega, been catching my breath in Australia the last few weeks
It was amazing thx!!!
This facility is beyond belief, it truly is amazing, I have never seen so many clown fish under one roof, and the water quality is Cristal clear.

Beautiful fish and facility.
I hope you can make video like this more details about the system
I love Clown Fish, they come in my top 5.
Wow! Amazing! A question: aren't they 'jumpers'? Because as far as I can see, the tanks are pretty shallow and there are no lids.
Outstanding video.
Hello, I love the setup your filming. I'm interested in the "over the tank biological filtration". Can you give me the name of the company that makes it?
'Aquadancing'.....does exactly what it says on the tin 🕺
Damn, those are some nice strains!
Phi Le not strain its a morph
Is no one going to call out this guys talent and passion for these fish I didn’t see NOT ONE dead/sick fish in this guys tanks absolutely beautiful
This kinda sucks watching all these amazing captive bred clown fish and at my only local saltwater fish store they are all wild captured
boycott them hehe
I’d pick captive bred fish cause they’re almost always easier to keep
just gotta order online. i have 2 LFS. one sells wild caught clowns and the other is captive bred only
Western hobbyists always harp on tank volume while Asian fishkeepers main focus is on filtration
Most western hobbyists don't have access to tropical waters, stock is expensive and daily salt water changes are prohibitive both in time and money. This reminds me of goldfish just with salt.
@@robert6106 Most asian hobbyists don't have enough space, Don't have cool waters. Tanks and other equipment are expensive and we too don't have time.

We make do with what little space with have and cramping fishing together is how we keep livestock cheap. I'm sure your fish shops would do daily water changes too.
also these fish probably live here for about 2-4 weeks since demand for these clowns is so high [btw this is just a guess]
Stunning!
Nice work 👍

I love the reef stuff but that bonsai tree is crazy
Great video
Can you please tell me about the broodstock feeding habit followed over their for maturing the sub adult clownfish and a big thanks to show the variety of clown fish.
Amazing video and amazing fish,super cute balls of clowns,wow! Clown fish is numero uno!
Jake!!!!!! Wtf this place is mind blowing!!! Wow I seriously have to get me a clownfish ..... Have a safe trip back home ✌️🐟☮️
Badass farm! The amount of water being changed and filtered has to be crazy!
I wish I could order a pair
Wow this is crazy impressive!
awesome i want to buy that fish
Cant blv my eyes,
Those clownfish can’t stop dancing,
My fav 14:30 🏆
What will be Interesting is when breeding moves from the Labs to the hobbyist
Stephen Olner it's already possible and is done but is simply too much work for hobbyist
Touli Loup they used to say the same thing about breeding discus
Stephen Olner it's not really about what people say, if you have 70 clown dish in a tank, you cannot go 1 week in holiday anymore.
So to breed some and keep maybe a handful of clown fish sure isn't a problem, but nobody can mass product them as a hobbyist (or anyway it's not a hobby anymore but a job ^^)
Most hobbiest breeders dont go on holiday anyways. I know I didn't when inbreed discus
That's pretty cool that they ball school so tight. It almost looks like a bee hive or something like that. They are all pretty fish.
Mozart's or Picasso's? What an awesome experience! What an amazing, incredible experience. I love it!
This video is mind blowing I love all the different pattenation ( my husband only likes the original occelaris type so I don't think I'm going to be getting anything like these anytime soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍😍😍😍
great place.great Video
These fish look rlly exclusive
That's so awesome!
get your back up off the wall!
excellent video,,any idea what kind of lighting there using on there growout tanks
Very minimal, most of the tanks had no lighting, only what's overhead. The lighted aquariums are fish for sale and they had generic t5 tubes & LED strips just to see them
Its that cooling system with calcium reactor in sump filter???
What an amazing place, I bet some of those clowns are worth thousands!!,
Great video Jake 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Truly mesmerizing….i would literally work there for free just so I can be around such beautiful fish…. You can really tell the owner has a passion for all those fish I didn’t see NOT ONE dead fish in any tanks…. Kudos to your for making this video new sub here brother
ive been doing some testing on 4 month and up fry with different lighting for growth and also for black coloration
UV light from ANY fluorescent is definitely known to stimulate the onset of melanin, the black pigment. But the red color is mostly affected by pigments from food
These fish are named after famous artist etc Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso, bob ross,
@Squirrel I need a Bob Ross LOL
Sorry, I am really not an art afficionado, but seeing BOB ROSS named in a row with da vinci and Picasso even hurts me :-)
Reminds me of touring joe lichenburg’s old fish room
drool........ thanks for sharing all the crazy looking clowns with us.
Beautiful, simply beautiful
Awesome!!.is he the same mr.shu who breed fish in bali to?
This is the best clown fish video i have ever seen.. i was in clown fish heaven!! Thanks for such a bad ass video!
I'm glad you guys liked it so much, it was definitely clownfish overload at this farm!
The clownfish army!
Why do we not have stores like this in the US?
At my local fish store there was this clownfish with the normal orange white and black stripes but the dorsal fin had no black it was really cute though I’m gonna buy it when my tank cycle is finished
Those fish are absolutely beautiful.
Is it possible to stay as a student? or receive online trainings?
What kind of media are using in the sumps?
Hey Jake, Im very interested since the production of this video what ever became of the clown fish with blue colors, any updates from Taiwan that you can share?
hey reef builders what tanks is he using are those custom built and if so how much would like 40 tanks cost to produce much love thank you
my tank size is 18×18×18 so how much i need a salt plz rply me
How come people say clownish harem tanks are almost impossible to keep long term, but then you have a place like this?
WOW Made 2 years ago Any in states Orlando?
What he use for fillter inside sump ?
You forgot to record the massive bonsai plants at the beginning.
Does he sell these online? I’m sure international shipping is expensive but he has some nice specimens!
How do u order them and how much?
im curious about the red lighting could they be grow bulbs,are they red or purple supplemented with blue
I've seen some 'color' lamps for aquariums, particularly in asia, to bring our red colors, but these use actual red LEDs to make that red & orange color pop, but it's usually for arowanas and blood parrot cichlids.
OMG CLOWNFISH GALORE! new subscriber! i made a vid on clowns a little while ago too
