    When I first started keeping fish, boy close to forty years ago, most aquarium stores were like this. How I miss them. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

      Yes, my local LFS looked like this. I think it was about 35 years ago when I got my first fish when I was about 8 years old. I think I brought it home on my BMX 🤣

    This was the one and only aquarium store I visited on my visit to the west coast (I live in the netherlands) and I loved it! The owner was great and After I told him I could not buy anything he still showed me around and was a great host. Loved it!

    Idk if ppl know this but being vaccinated does not mean u can’t catch or spread Covid. It helps u stay symptom free n helps u fight the sickness. But on to a lighter note great video. Those planted tanks look amazing

    First time I stepped in to this store must have been 1991, yes 30 years ago! I was there all the time back then and witnessed when Ady went through her pregnancy, had the baby girl, and then in the blink of an eye the baby girl was a teenager. Also had that little dog that followed me around the store. Haven't been in the store for at least 15 years though, glad to see they're still there.

    It's an incredibly place! Justin and Ady taught me how to set up my tanks with only a gravel substrate for better filtration, 3 1/2" in the front and 5" in the back of the tank and lots of plants. I was skeptical at first but also followed their advice of no water changes, just topping off. It works...good water quality and healthy fish! I love their lush, DIY fish tanks. This is the only place where I buy my fish, plants and supplies! They quarantine their fish. YES! I bought some of the Venezuelan cordoras!

      I'm in Ontario, Canada, we're in a "stay-at-home" order for 6 weeks. Then I suspect the Canada/US boarder will continue to be closed for non-essential travel. As much as I love my aquariuma hobby it's not essential. A fish tour is something to look forward to!

    Absolutely perfect timing. I’ve been wanting to visit this store for a few years after seeing the videos. Long long ago I was heavy into fish. I just set up a tank for the first time in about 20 years. My plan is either a shell dweller (I know they’re very difficult to get, I still know a couple people though) colony or a birchardi colony. I live 2 hours south of this store and I’m headed up Monday to get some of those birchardi!! Sitting in front of a fish less aquarium and super excited!

    Hi Zenzo. Don’t know if you will see this note so long after posting this video, but I hope so. All of the tanks had a deep layer of gravel. My first thought was they all have undergravel filters, not then I realized they didn’t have the bubbler towers. The fish & plants were clearly very healthy. Did you or Dean ever learn why the gravel layers were so deep?
