I’d also like take a sec to thank Tazawa Tanks for making him accessible to us even more. He’s essentially to this hobby beyond measure..
They are so beautiful, no wonder Dean wanted some!! :o
More Dean please, keep 'em coming! Thanks for sharing! - Little Bobby
I could listen to Dean talk about pretty much anything. Really enjoy when he is on co-op and your channel. Thank you for sharing. Your fish collection is amazing!
Glad you enjoy it!
I've seen Dean talk about this before and it just really surprises me, I can't remember the last time I saw fish bags with corners. I'm in Australia and the fish stores use bags with rounded corners (well in my area anyway). Great video guys.
Yeah, I'm from Sydney and I always get the rounded corner bags from my LFS
The genius of this brilliant man leaves me in awe every single time. ❤️❤️
🤩@the technique on this guy (8:50)!!!!
Looking good! On the rare occasion when I have to fly with fish, I do almost the same thing, except I write the name of the fish on the bag as well as include a piece of styrofoam inside the bag with the name labeled, just in case the marker on the bag wears off. Thanks for sharing Zenzo and Dean!
What a treasure Dean is to this hobby!! I enjoy every video I see him in! Great video Tazawa! You’re awesome man!!
You two guys make a great team !! Hopefully see you to more
Massachusetts
I loved this video! Something I really admire about you, Zenzo, is that you ask questions for further understanding. Things like “what’s the advantage to doing it that way” or making clarifying statements! I love to know the best way to do things in the hobby but also know why I’m doing it that way!
Great video. Dean is just a wellspring of knowledge. I keep and breed black occelatus so looking forward to seeing the amount of fry he pumps out.
So happy the containers are finally available!
A great tip on how to bag and transport fish. Well done!
Thanks for bringing us more Dean!
Great looking fish, awesome job raising them up Zenzo! Dean's tips are always gems of knowledge. Great vid Zenzo!💪👍🤘😁
Digging the tape trick Thanks Dean
yes I got the insulated liner with plants from the coop
Love all those gorgeous cichlids tanks! I don't have room for bigger, more aggressive African cichlids anymore, but those goldies are really tempting...And yes, I can vouch that the taped bag corner technique works great 👍
Great Tips ,super nice fish ,great video !!
For the bags with corners, if you double bag, you can also turn the second bag 180 degrees, and the rubber band from the outside bag can square off the corners of the inside bag! Might save a few seconds per bag 😂
Love this video
I always double bag fish with the inner back upside down (rubber band side down) inside the outer bag that's right side up. It alleviates the corner issue as long as the fish aren't gonna be rolling around.
Maaan you look different without the beard!
Nice tips!
Love that pink sheen on them
The coop is Cool, now I will have to get the larger Lee's
I would be nervous. I have flown overseas so many times that I find security a little scary having been warned that carrying live plants or fish is a no no. I would get the guy that takes my fish.
Lovely
Use a straw for the dubble bagging, to release the air.
wow you never heard of Dan's fish??? He ships excellent!
Yes I have
Me liky like a lot good awesome video.
Glad you enjoyed
Great video! I've been looking into flying with my betta when I move next year, but have heard horror stories about airlines not allowing them on the plane! One woman, I think in Cincinnati, had to leave her fish behind because the airline refused to allow it on the plane - "pet policy" says only cats and dogs.
I've been enjoying your channel for about the last two weeks. I'm in Northeast Brazil, I don't know if shell dweller cichlids are legal here? I'll have to check if they're on the list.
I go out from time to time collecting plants and fish here. We have a neat little livebearer called Poecilia vivipara (Peixe Guaru).
Their color all depends on the place where I, and sometimes my buddy collect them. I found a soft water stream near my place that has some bright orange ones. They're one of my favorite little fish here.
Anyway, keep the videos coming.
Nice
Cool
Awesome video! Does anyone know where I can get high quality african cichlids in south africa?
Shipping fish isn't cheep but it isn't hard. Next day fish should still be fine in 3 or 4 or 7 days if you're doing it right. Practice by shipping fish to your own address. Just buy some guppies from PetSmart or something and bag them up and ship them to yourself. Heat or cold packs are almost always needed, styrofoam is a must whether it's summer or winter. Use at least 50% pure oxygen and you should be good to go..... get an oxygen tank! And fast them for at least 24 hours before they get bagged up so they don't poop too much in the bag during transit.
I won an auction years ago on aquabid and I paid for next day shipping. It got lost and I got it 12 days later. The fish were fine. I get being hesitant about it. You don't want to sell your prized fish just to lose them all in the mail but if you're a seller looking to spread your fish further than your local areas then you should try out shipping fish. There is such a lack of LFS these days I feel like this is probably the future of the hobby.
I have shipped fish several times with varying success. For me, it isn’t worth the hassle and potential loss.
@@TazawaTanks I understand. I just wish more people were willing to ship. It seems to me that more and more a species or color-line is common in one part of America but is non existent in the rest because people won't ship.... I just want the hobby to survive. I'm 38 and it looks like the aquarium club that I've been a part of since I was 17 is dead... as well as most LFS... Almost all actually. I'm just trying to think about how this can all be saved.
No pressure on you at all. I've just really been stressing out about where aquarium keeping is heading.
Sir, can i use flagyl in aquarium water every month
That is an Immense amount of shaking around, and they haven't even started their journey. I feel apprehensive for those fish, is there a video showing that they made it to Dean's house? edit: Don't get me wrong, I love Dean, and I trust he knows what he's doing. Maybe I'm just too much of a girl and carry my fish too gently, like spun glass. lol
They are shipped from overseas to a transhipper and then to store distributors and then to your store. They will be fine.
@@trishkcmo3683 I know, but sometimes half (or all) arrive dead. And these are 'special' fish. :-)
They are fine, and they are happy in his fishroom. He sent me a little video clip last night of them in their new tank.
@@TazawaTanks Thank you for telling us. I can't wait til his next fish room video for him to show us their new home.
👍
Does anybody happen to know if or what paperwork is required when carrying on fish to flights from USA to Canada?
Instead of taping the corners, the technique that I learned was to place the bag with the knot end down. No corners!
That works too, but not if a shipping box gets turned upside down or if the bag moves in luggage.
Well, I just mentioned I need to get some more containers as some of mine had cracked. Because of this video and the "Coop Effect" (affect or effect, um not sure lol) need to go order now or they will be all gone! Should of known, Cory has better specimen containers than the ones I have. Duh
In the USA do they allow you to take the bags of fish through checking on to the plane with you ?
Yes
Yup!
Wait you can fly with fish? Would've loved to know that a few years ago
Indeed, as long as you have a clear fish bag and the TSA can see the fish alive in the water, you're good to go!
@@MridulSinghMusic do you know if there's any sort of checkout process for the fish separate from the luggage, or can I just show up to the airport with the fish?
@@chun_8070 Just showing up to the airport is fine, as long as you label the fish bag with the name of the fish (scientific name is preferred)
@@MridulSinghMusic damn that's easy enough for me, thanks man!
Do you add a heat pack to keep them warm for the 6 hours? Just wondering 💭
No, not if they are going to be in the main cabin as carry-on, which is normally room temp.
Do you have to change water much for your daphnia tank outside??
Not once in almost 2 years. I just top off from evaporation.
No flight regulations vs all that fish water as a carry on ? Just curious
No, as long as the fish are alive in the bag.
I loved these fish when I owned them. The males can be brutal.
Those are lake tanganyika or Lake Victoria
Tanganyika
How does he get through customs because they dont let me pass even a bottle of water
It’s a domestic flight. The TSA website lists that live fish are okay to transport.
@@TazawaTanks thanks
My gourami bully’s my cichlid what’s this about
Wouldn't all that time spent bagging the fish stress them out?
Not nearly as stressful as being bagged up and shipped across the country or world in a bag in a box for a few days. Most of the fish that we have in the US are flown from overseas or other continents.
funny how all these famous fishtubers ask for support and when you do the same your comment just gets removed..I saw it.
Sorry mrpiscesthecrypticfish but the world is filled with hypocrites.
I am not certain what you are referring to. Can you elaborate?
If you are implying that I deleted someone's comment that had a link, then yes. I would do that for anyone that posts any link without clearing it with me. Any comment that has a link is automatically held for review by TH-cam before I even have a chance to read it (meaning it would not be visible to anyone but me).
If you are implying that I don't support smaller creators, this is false. In fact, I often give one-on-one advice to smaller creators, as well as occasionally appear on their channel for streams/interviews. In fact, I have one coming up with a. smaller channel that only has around 400+ subscribers.
Anyway, I would hardly refer to myself as famous, so maybe this has nothing to do with me. LOL!
