    This store knows what they are doing to keep fish and aquatic critters we all love alive. They have filtration, substrate and plants. They know what an eco system is. What a wonderful caring outlet. Well done. Brilliant. I see the water clear so they do not overfeed either. 10/10 ! Substriaght, plants, plants and more plants. If they ever get a power out, all their wildlife will live thanks to their set up. Well done all that work there, and their love for what they do.

    Love the vids, just a suggestion. You should mic up people when you’re interviewing them.

    • @johnVidBozo
      @johnVidBozo ปีที่แล้ว +3

      YES, mic up the shop owner!
      Also a bit less motion on the camera would be much appreciated!

    I'm down for a KING OF DIY world tour show cases stores and hobbyist.
    Side note I reckon planted angel tanks are so under rated, I have one with a few schools of tetra's, cory's and some of the brighter nicer looking male guppies I breed and iv had it now for 18 months and I haven't changed or rescaped it just amazing to sit and watch and how the angels interact with me when I come to the tank

    Yeah, GFP axolotls glow green under blacklight. The intention was so that it would be easier to see organs and limbs grow from foreign cells. A big reason axolotls aren't extinct is because they're so useful in the lab, so they would graft on cells from a different axolotl and see how well it would grow. When one of them was normal and the other was GFP, they could tell that it was the foreign cells/tissue growing on the axolotl they grafted it onto.

    @jaip4rka541 ปีที่แล้ว

    You say the problem with owning a fish store is that you would struggle to let them go. But but joey .. you let most go eventually and always buy double.. you know you're maid not just for a shop but a chain of shops .. its your loyalty to your local shop but the right plan means success for all 👍 a bigger shop is what they need with your designs and all those great contacts.. there client list boom 💥

    Fun fact, GFP is actually a protein that is used for fluorescent microscopy. Really cool stuff! Fascinating to see it on the axolotl

    Every non-box pet shop always gets things for themselves.. its what gets some people into the hobby. Big box stores wont risk unique purchases.
