I saw my fish! I ordered the whole group of the blue gold lyre tail male guppies. It was fun to see them on video before they shipped out. Awesome video. Dans fish tours are the best.
I dig these long dan’s fish videos. My last three purchases were from Dan and they were all fantastic! This is my version of qvc, especially since I’ll be starting to cycle a new 40 breeder this weekend. Being able to see these fish up close is helpful. May try the glowlight danios next.
Celebese are brackish. I have only kept them successfully in Tbl and half of Reef salt per gallon. Back when they were more common in the market everyone knew this -but somehow it was forgotten and they have gotten a bad rap for 'dying easy' . Poor guys. I love a nice school.
Managed a tropical fish wholesale operation in the early 80's. We sold to regional pet shops and aquariums. I had over a 100 very small to very large overseas breeding operations to order fish from. I also bought specialty fish from local breeders. I could afford to be particular. One of my rules was 'no crowding, inbreeding or hormones'. Late 90's after a 15 yr break from the work, I was offered management at a 'big box' pet store. I looked into it. Only a few massive, industrial fish farms are used by them and the monopolization killed off most of the good fish breeders I was familiar with. Now all tropicals for those stores are raised in overcrowded conditions, in a soup of anti-fungal and anti-bacterial chemicals and hormones to grow them out fast, totally inbred. Then people don't understand why they can't keep formerly hardy fish like guppies alive when they get them home to a 'normal' aquarium. Thank goodness for people like Dan- you are keeping the hobby alive- humanely. Buy Local.
I got my own Pantenalensis from joesaqua last year. Absolutely stunning fish, love seeing them swim mid water. (They hang midwater more often than my Black Venez, Sterbai, or Yellow Lazers) Still a bit more skittish, but I just got my first spawn this week! Dansfish rock too!
Spotted Siamese Algae Eater, I have a pair of those. They are incredible algae eaters, far better than any fish I have ever come across and I have been in the hobby since the 80's. They get chunky very quickly if you feed them right, they need plenty of algae wafers in a tank like that without hair algae as they are always very hungry.
@SteenfottAquatics they do, but the nanolutea I believe are CARES species, so they still aren't that wide spread. Plus, they're very peaceful for central American cichlids, like the rainbow cichlids, so they could be kept in communities. The sajica end up pretty big if I'm not mistaken. Plus, that yellow they get over a dark substrate is unmatched!
Do they have to vacuum the tank bottoms or, because of the constant water changing do they leave it natural with detritus and algae? kind of like tank looks dirty but in reality the water is super clean is what im suspecting
Fantastic to watch, thank you, but also disheartening to me since I live in Sweden and I've found it hard to even find good fish and the competition between the retailers here is non existing and the supply is a joke - and they refuse to import from renowned wholesalers on request. If it sounds like I'm frustrated that's an understatement.
Ok so how about giving some tips on getting otos to eat food? They've cleaned my tank up really good but now they're gonna need additional food and they dont seem to touch it
I've had terrible luck with guppies, endlers and even platies, no matter where I purchase them from. With one exception, hobbyist bred yellow tiger endlers, which did amazingly well for me. I won't buy livebearers from anywhere that doesn't do long quarantine processes ever again.
I bred the glass headstander in an outside tub. When I brought the young to one of my clubs for BAP points. Dr. Paul Loiselle commented “Why would anyone breed these fish?”………. Lol
I do love your tours at Dan's Fish, of which caused me to purchase blue coral platies and Ceylon killifish. But does Bob live like next door or something?
Those licorice gourami arent deissneri. They are always sold as that cause sellers just .. either dont care of think this name sells the best. As long as they dont color up a bit, the males in breeding dress, those could be anything BUT deissneri My guess would be "Parosphromenus harveyi" if those are indeed deissneri, they have been renamed to Parosphromenus bintan since the real deissneri has never even been exported. Every single of these Parosphromenus that has been caught since 1946 and even before, has been named deissneri but now we know, that there are way more species that look alike, when not colored up. So Dan might want to look into that. :)
Had to stop about 20 minutes in, sadly -- too man incredibly cool fish, but I already have a GIANT box (80 fish, yes, 80 (YAY!)) coming next week, so I'm probably OK for a minute and don't need to see more awesome fish! :) PS: On the rainbows -- we want them all, of course, but tank space is an issue, especially if you want to keep and breed specific species -- that takes a breeding tank, and egg tank, a fry growout tank...for each species to avoid crosses. I have several RBF spp. I want to do, but I also want my 125G community tank w/ 100 or 200+ tetras. :)
I went on the website and most all shrimp are not available, snails not available, and the fish i wanted not available wtf is going on with this place?
How dare he not have exactly what you want when you want! What a bunch of jerks. Nevermind that its in the middle of winter and its 0 degrees out in Wyoming. Never mind that it might be a bit more difficult to get tropical fish in the dead of winter. Unbelievable, the nerve of some companies i tell ya whaht.
HEY.......so is he talking about how so any guppies and plattys and such only live like a year now or less and get dropsy and such? Because I am also sick of it, I know my tanks are good but i've not been able to do guppies or plattys for awhile now, even bettas honestly. and i've been in the hobby 35 years
Camera operator is making me dizzy...perhaps hire a camera person so you can concentrate on interview instead of multitasking trying to zoom in ...just my 2 cts...still thank you for video sir...
I'll never understand the purchasing of fancy plecos. They are nocturnal....you'l;l never see them. Bristlenose can be bad enough. Big money for fish you'll never see.
Plecos are actually diurnal. People just assume they are nocturnal because they dont see them. However, if you setup an aquarium around your plecos, you will see them all the time.
@@SteenfottAquatics Most hobbyists don't dedicate a tank to plecos. They see the beautiful pleco and put it in their planted tank or whatever. Never to be seen again. Expensive lesson. Money maker for sure. More nocturnal imo. They aren't the only scam either. Just my opinion.

Awesome video. Dans fish tours are the best.
🎶🎵🎶 A Threeee hour toooour! 🎶🎵 😋 So many fishies! So little time!
I miss Dan's original fish room tour's, you did an excellent job Bob thank you for taking the time to video for us. 😊
I love this videos. Thank you! Dan is the perfect mixture of passion, hobbyists, good guy and scientist.

Good timing! Dont forget to use steenfottaquatics at checkout for a little discount =)
I love these tours. It's a great time to build a bucket list.
Definitely!
The tour footage is finally here! Thanks so much!
Hope you enjoy it.
Fantastic tour of Dan’s they are doing a superb job with the fish! Some amazing fish, great strains spaces.
They are!
Celebese are brackish. I have only kept them successfully in Tbl and half of Reef salt per gallon. Back when they were more common in the market everyone knew this -but somehow it was forgotten and they have gotten a bad rap for 'dying easy' . Poor guys. I love a nice school.
I’ve had five in fresh water for three years no problems. I lost one the first month but that’s it. TDS is around 270 300.
Thanks for the awesome tour!!
Thank you Kelley =)
This video is awesome!! It's so long that I had to break it up! I'm not complaining! I love it!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Glad you liked it!!
Those spotted headstanders looked really good! Thanks for the tour!
So many outstanding species of fish.
But Bob, you are 100% correct and I concur, DrapeFin Barbs are RIDICULOUSLY underrated.

Buy Local.
Hello, Greetings from Sri Lanka. it's an interesting story. I would like to hear more, if you are free to tell. I am a fish seller. 💐
What a treat! Thank you so much Bob.
Enjoy!
Thanks a lot for this awesome tour.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My latest big order from Dan came in great today, so finally able to start my next wish list! So many awesome fish!!!
Nice!!
Those Black Lancer Cats at 2:33:40 are so cool. I'm going to buy a big group my next paycheck.
The video came out great! Awesome to see so many varieties of fish and shrimp!
Thank you!
New subscriber This is one of those videos I’ll be watching over and over again💯🌱🐠💙🔥
My Rams are in 76 f and are doing amazing..
So Rad!!!!🎉❤ Took me 2 days to watch til the end...😂 Thanks Bob, Dan and Bob's Lady!
You rock!

1:00:32 wowsers that looks awesome
Amazing, I just ordered A pair of Apistos, Peacock gudgeons, and some killys
Spotted Siamese Algae Eater, I have a pair of those. They are incredible algae eaters, far better than any fish I have ever come across and I have been in the hobby since the 80's.
They get chunky very quickly if you feed them right, they need plenty of algae wafers in a tank like that without hair algae as they are always very hungry.
That was fun! Thanks for the every tank tour.
Glad you enjoyed it!
OMG how awesome -- love--love--love!!!
Que buen video, gracias , saludos desde México
Blue neon gobies need biofilm and algae for them to thrive! So get more light and give them algae
Bob needs the nanolutea! I told him in his last video but I don't know if he saw it😂
I almost did, then saw like everyone has them. So i went with Tbar cichlids cause i dont see many youtubers with them. And they deserve more love.
@SteenfottAquatics they do, but the nanolutea I believe are CARES species, so they still aren't that wide spread.

This was great!

Super duper!!!
Super!
hello, what wood are the shelves made of and what dimensions (cm)
Ok so how about giving some tips on getting otos to eat food? They've cleaned my tank up really good but now they're gonna need additional food and they dont seem to touch it
Omg when he put the whit pvc and nearly squashed the fish 😂
Hi Bob. Hope to see you at Dans in the future. Rich Andy.
I hope so too!
Impressive…most impressive.
Thanks Bob I gotta bookmark this
Love the Hatchets!!

Glad you enjoyed it
Will be ordering more Hatchetfish soon.
Good One !
Thanks ✌️
Looks pretty cool man.!!!

Love the ❤
Long tour
1st female guppy I ever bought just had 23 fry & all lived 😊 now I have 23 babies that are 3 was old & growing fast . Whoops
I've had terrible luck with guppies, endlers and even platies, no matter where I purchase them from. With one exception, hobbyist bred yellow tiger endlers, which did amazingly well for me. I won't buy livebearers from anywhere that doesn't do long quarantine processes ever again.
Yup, i had to stop buying livebearers altogether when i was selling fish.
I bred the glass headstander in an outside tub. When I brought the young to one of my clubs for BAP points. Dr. Paul Loiselle commented “Why would anyone breed these fish?”………. Lol
lol
I do love your tours at Dan's Fish, of which caused me to purchase blue coral platies and Ceylon killifish. But does Bob live like next door or something?
Negative, i live 1,000 miles away.
@28:50 ya they are 😎
Are those rainbow bubbling things? Filter, airstone?
Just oversized airstones
@@SteenfottAquatics Oh ok, thanks
Ooh yeah baby 😍
I enjoyed that. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
The Stiphidon elegans are all males, they eat but don’t gain weight because are simply stressed…
Any gulpers??
Awesome tour!
Thank you!
Just made an order with your code last night :)
Awesome thank you!
Amazing 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you 👍
Can anyone tell me what the fish at 1:14:31 are? I can’t make out what he says - Ivan’s something eyes? Thanks in advance!
Pseudomugil ivantsoffi 'Timika' =)
What's Up With The Fork In The Tanks ?
They are used to weigh down cucumbers or other various veggies they feed. Otherwise they float unless you blanch them.
Those licorice gourami arent deissneri. They are always sold as that cause sellers just .. either dont care of think this name sells the best. As long as they dont color up a bit, the males in breeding dress, those could be anything BUT deissneri My guess would be "Parosphromenus harveyi" if those are indeed deissneri, they have been renamed to Parosphromenus bintan since the real deissneri has never even been exported. Every single of these Parosphromenus that has been caught since 1946 and even before, has been named deissneri but now we know, that there are way more species that look alike, when not colored up. So Dan might want to look into that. :)
what is the fish at 44:50 on this video?
What’s that one at 1:14:30?
Time to hunker down 🍿😁
Its a long one =)
@@SteenfottAquatics I watched the whole thing while trying to avoid working today LOL
It was great 😊
Seems like it was just a month since he was there . Cool
Was this shot recently? Those Hamburgs look great. Ah! It’s from June
those swords are named like someone who names that latest cannabis strain, haha
Maswa and Halembe duboisi get the yellow stripe. Much more desirable color. Do you know which color variant you have?
No location was attached to them. We can ask the supplier and hopefully get their location added to the site.
cool
Had to stop about 20 minutes in, sadly -- too man incredibly cool fish, but I already have a GIANT box (80 fish, yes, 80 (YAY!)) coming next week, so I'm probably OK for a minute and don't need to see more awesome fish! :) PS: On the rainbows -- we want them all, of course, but tank space is an issue, especially if you want to keep and breed specific species -- that takes a breeding tank, and egg tank, a fry growout tank...for each species to avoid crosses.

Fish at 1:11:03 ?
Praecox Rainbowfish =)
I have Peacock gudgeons. Beautiful and sweet. And aren't intimidated by my appistogrammas.
I got lucky and got a quad red cacatuoides
Nice!
Really, really good tour but bad lighting 😢we can't really appreciate the beauty of those 🐠🐟🐟🐠
The lighting and sheer amount of glare make it a really hard place to film.
a three hour tour,
a three hour tour.
Wait are you in WY now?
No sir, was just visiting
I raise gambusia affinis! Literally the only livebearer stock I got that wasn't inbred cause my first gen was wild caught ❤
Good video for sleep. Looks torturous to do though 😬 but thanks 👍
HEY.......so is he talking about how so any guppies and plattys and such only live like a year now or less and get dropsy and such?
Because I am also sick of it, I know my tanks are good but i've not been able to do guppies or plattys for awhile now, even bettas honestly. and i've been in the hobby 35 years
This is a long video. Guess I'm not working today.
🤣
Seems whenever i go to his site, everything is out of stock...
Camera operator is making me dizzy...perhaps hire a camera person so you can concentrate on interview instead of multitasking trying to zoom in ...just my 2 cts...still thank you for video sir...
he kinda skips through the cichlids faster than the other stuff, would like more footage and info on the cichlids next time if possible.
Oh the tedium.

Too dark can’t see fish
Turn up your brightness, 150,000 people have watched and not a single complaint
🇭🇺😫
Crikey, I hope you stopped for a meal/nap.
This actually took almost two full days to film. But we got our breaks in.
