My friend, youve been doing an amazing job. Seen your comments on my other videos and I believe you DMed me on Instagram? Sorry I havent got back to them, I'm on vacation at the moment and running around literally the whole day. Will get back to you soon. Thank you for helping identify everything 😁
Thank you! And yes they are the biggest balas ive ever seen. Dont forget its on camera and in a huge tank. Imagine in real life and if you put it in a 8 feet tank. Its a monster!
You filmed this on my birthday! Whoo-hoo! Love your content Bearded Aquariast! New sub! Such PERFECT FISH, like the Aligator Gars! Fish make me HAPPY! THANK YOU!
Great video as always! I've visited River Safari twice so far, but watching your video makes me wanna go back and visit again. After getting into the fishkeeping hobby, I think the experience of visiting River Safari again would be different since I'd have more appreciation and knowledge on certain fishes.
Thanks Darius! And yes i reckon the experience will be different when you're armed with knowledge from the aquarium hobby. You'll see things so differently! And appreciate the significance of certain fishes/aquariums more :)
koi were originally common carp cross bred with goldfish to make a "koi" by the chinese... so ya u prolly could breed them together maybe... but not the tripoid grass carp cuz they are infertile
Hey Ashley,another great video as usual,there’s an albino turtle at K&K aquarium near Tampines west CC.But idk how much it costs though.I think you should check it out as it’s awesome.
Many aquarium shops in Tampines close over the past decade. K K is one of the oldest surviving one. I think over at BLK 400 plus also got one shop there.
SG Bearded Aquarist last month mix of the month have.. now I not very sure.. clementi 328 LFS, that aquarium and rainbow.. mostly have. All different price. Depends on quality of the fish.. around 2-3inches. And they are fliter feeder when they are young.. when they reach about 9-10inches they will start eating sinking pellets / market prawns.. 😊
Hope you liked the discus tank scape. Coz I designed it... haha! 😉 Yeah, the background was faux root, so I added that huge driftwood on the left plus a few smaller twigs, as well as rocks to create a riverbank feel featuring dead trees - the typical habitat of wild discus.
@@SGBeardedAquarist Yeap! I've been into fish & all that nerdy ichthyological stuff since a kid, but only fairly recently did I decide to take the plunge; turning my lifelong endeavor into a profession. I'm a born & bred Singaporean with a penchant for aquascaping! 🇸🇬 Both biotope-style, as well as planted aquariums. I wish to share with the world my passion. And hopefully, our guests will be delighted by the beauty of the aquatic world. With fond memories of our country, as well as River Safari! 🥰 I must admit, at first I was daunted by the sheer size of our display tanks but with the guidance & help from our team, well I kind of grabbed whatever hardscape was at hand & just gave it a go! And when the tanks were up & running I just can't describe the feeling. It's both challenging & yet, rewarding! So inspired to take it to the next level for future projects, that I flew all the way to Portugal, recently. To visit the Florestas Submersas at Oceanario de Lisboa. IT WAS AWESOME!!! Yeah, I checked out your vid in Portugal. Great job on that one, man! Outstanding camera work & commentary! 👍👍
I can only imagine the feeling of scaping an aquarium of that magnitude and watching as everyone come by to admire it! Must have been beyond words. Would be so cool if you could share about the process/behind the scenes or if you're doing up any new tanks over there. Not sure about river safari company stand on such things tho. And Takashi Amano's Florestas Submersas is insane! It'll be the next video 😁
Hahahahaha! I noticed it when watching the video too. In the interest of not making everyone giddy i keep the camera still at one spot but my head is actually scanning all over the pond for the arowana. So what the camera sees at that point isnt actually what im seeing 😂
is it just me or when i went there, the enclosures were dark.Is it always dark? because i dont remember the lightning being this good and any tips taking photos in the dark?
What I would have liked to see? A river. An artificial tropical river with shallow pools..into fast moving waters and loads of fish ,turtles,and plants. Maybe in a huge circle around the viewer or snakes and zig zags like a river. It would be much more fun and realistic than the usual giant bathtubs done all over the world. They have pumps that can easily move that kind of water. Water parks do it for people. I would like to see that for fish.
@@SGBeardedAquarist Oop,i left out..one side of the river is all glass. So you get a cutaway view. The SD zoo did something like that for its Hippo's..with African cichlids in a small heated pool. But an all tropical "river" of a few hundred thousand gallons would be great to look at.
Subscribed... but you really need to learn more abt identifying fish dude... and other basic fishy stuff... but ya camera shots awesome clarity amazing not much shake less headache keep at it don’t stop ok...not complaining Hor... 🥳🏅
Hahaha thanks i guess. Somewhere between picking up filming, editing, youtube and my own life going on, fish/turtles/aquariums is just another aspect and I divide my time equally. A good videographer would likewise watch my video and think my fish knowledge is great but need to work on camera/editing skills. With time I'll get better in everything. 😁
Agreed! Overall doing great... life is about learning anyways... thank too... seeing ya past videos and am enjoying it... great keep it up... maybe a fishing hunting expedition... species fishing in sg... just suggestion... keep it up! 🎖🏆🥇
Carefully thought through with risk involved. Flowerhorns are cichlids and like most cichlids, they are usually aggressive to their own species, frequently extending to species of the same family and even fishes that just fit the look. Of course there are the maniacs that tear everything up but not all flowerhorns are like that and so when choosing the flowerhorn, I'm looking for a docile one (granted behaviour might change with age). As for the other fish, most of them arent cichlids and neither do they fit into his mouth to be a meal. So they are left alone. As for the 2 cichlids I have inside, one is a short bodied pink convict and i guess looks so far off from a cichlid that there is 0 aggression from the FH. The other is a jack dempsey that does get chased around from time to time. Usually during feeding. This is normal and it doesnt get out of hand because of the clear size difference. The JD is a juvenile and hence hierarchy is easily established without challenge/retaliation. So it's all working out, for now at least. And the past 6 months! :)
In Singapore the 4 official languages are English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. English is the main language of adminstration here. We do have Singlish: English with a flavour singaporean slangs, expressions and style of speaking, but it's not a recognize language nor does it have actual grammatical rules governing it.
What was the panda up to? He was in the zone with his tail up, head down, dropping a few panda presents for all to enjoy. Admiring the ground..........................yeah right.

I don't think I've actually ever seen Arowana in such a deep and spacious tank. They look tiny up there; they are so small compared to Mekong Giant Catfish surely they would try and eat them? They look a little stressed. Arowana normally prefer shallower waters.
A lot of things can be achieved in a big enough aquarium. For example this is so deep that the stratification means that the arowana is always out if sight and far away from the catfish. Im curious as to what made you say the arowana look stressed?
@@SGBeardedAquarist Thanks. I keep Asian Arowana and know their behaviour. Their fins were all torn and also they appeared a bit jumpy. Just wandering if there was a platform above to view the surface.
About legalizing turtle species: 1. Some owners may breed and then release animals into the wild. Australia for example has had several such cases which resulted in a huge disruption in the ecosystem. I also recall watching a video about an invasive crayfish species being introduced into a river in America (Might be Colombia river but I cant be too sure). The crayfish has since destroyed every other species living in the river and constantly cannibalize each other for food. 2. Some are endangered lah obviously. 3. Many aquatic/amphibious animals, which I am surprised to find out, requires a huge body of water/space to live and grow comfortably. Goldfish for example require a lot more than a fish bowl for a healthy growth. Goldfish bred at home almost always only live up to a fraction of their expected lifespan. Terrapins face the same problem. I had a couple of them as a kid and only kept them in a tiny plastic tank you find in an old aquarium store. I later realized it isnt very ethical to do so. Great video by the way! Very informative video. Keep up the good content.
The releasing part makes sense except that the species they do allow, the Red Eared Slider, is the most invasive turtle species in the world. It thrives in many conditions and out-competes other turtles/animals for resources. Allowing turtles that are not as invasive (less likely to thrive and outcompete in non-native waters) not only doesn't make things worse but might actually aid the situation because there are many species that are not endangered and do not grow as large as the RES and hence less likely to be released. Even if they are released, they are less likely to thrive and even if they do, they are usually less aggressive than the RES and wouldnt hunt native fishes or outcompete other species. AVA does not make turtles illegal like other countries do. Instead, all reptiles are illegal, except the RES and Malayan Box Turtle. Seems more like reluctance to spend the manpower to do research and justify the illegality of certain species and instead they find it easier to only determine which are legal. And thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
@@SGBeardedAquarist thats a real shame though. ive always wanted exotic pets like pythons or tarantulas. i heard you can catch scorpions in upper pierce reservoir at night but ive never gone around doing that. you cant really blame them for not bothering to do research, i think. we're kind of a niche crowd here in sg. not worth the time and effort on so much research. also getting approval of more species might not be as easy as you think. a lot of hurdles to jump to get approval from a big entity like our govt. also its not a secret that our govt focuses more on economic growth and sustainability than welfare of citizens
Yoo dude love the vid...just saying ‘fishes’ is a verb not the plural version of fish. The plural version of ‘fish’ is ‘fish’. Anw keep up the great work. Peace!
Thanks man. So I've been told. 'Fishes' can be used when refering to fish of numerous species. Nonetheless... i doubt i can kick the habit of using 'fishes' whenever im referring to more one fish... but ill try 🤣 thanks again man!
Dissapointed! There's no Channa aka Snakehead fish! Why! Except for that, everything is so stunning! I just so dissaponted that theres no Channa in there. Well, almsot all of the Aquariums like these never had Channa.
@@SGBeardedAquarist I know right! They are wrong to say that Channa doesn't have any appeal to public! Look at Channa Marulioides! The strike of the red and their flower pattern is stunning! Or Channa Aurantimaculata that have awesome Orang Spotted on their boyd, or Channa Barca with his spotted black and Orange Fins like. OR CHANNA BLEHERI THAT'S LOOKS LIKE RAINBOW! AND LAST! CHANNA MICROPELTES! THE BIGGEST YET BEAUTIFUL BLUISH DARK COLOR! . . . . . .. I'm sorry for take my rage in here. And also, Channa is active. They just shy for a couple of weeks and they will fly like that place is belong to them. Why I know this? I just got my hand bitten by my Channa Marulioides. It's not hurt, but it's kinda startling.
I've a feeling its just pure laziness from them. Instead of going through the trouble of identitfying which we can't keep.. they decided its easier to just identify what we can; aka RES and malayan box
There is. I just don't use it appropriately sometimes. The plural of fish is fish. However when referring to multiple species, fishes can be used. But hey, least I don't go around calling people dummy before knowing my stuff 😉
This is easily the best aquarium tour video i have seen. Really clear picture quality and great commentary . Very steady with the camera. 10/10.

@@SGBeardedAquarist thats a real shame though. ive always wanted exotic pets like pythons or tarantulas. i heard you can catch scorpions in upper pierce reservoir at night but ive never gone around doing that. you cant really blame them for not bothering to do research, i think. we're kind of a niche crowd here in sg. not worth the time and effort on so much research. also getting approval of more species might not be as easy as you think. a lot of hurdles to jump to get approval from a big entity like our govt. also its not a secret that our govt focuses more on economic growth and sustainability than welfare of citizens
0:41 i just did what you told, and now my screen is broke. :-(

Video on Asian arowana pls dude
thise are so cool
Sharmenth KR more arowana videos to come for sure
New sub bro just found you 🙏
Yoo dude love the vid...just saying ‘fishes’ is a verb not the plural version of fish. The plural version of ‘fish’ is ‘fish’. Anw keep up the great work. Peace!
Thanks man. So I've been told. 'Fishes' can be used when refering to fish of numerous species. Nonetheless... i doubt i can kick the habit of using 'fishes' whenever im referring to more one fish... but ill try 🤣 thanks again man!
First :D
Fast!
The giant Mekong stingray is not there anymore!
It is! I saw it later on but the footage wasn't the best so i omitted it. It was HUGE.
I smashed my subscribe button and broke my damn phone

i want to see you go in china river and catch fish and film it .... and if you find big foot that's cool too .... lol
I want to see that too. I mean I'm not too sure about meeting big foot, i might be a little nervous but heck, that'll be a 1 billion views video 😂
😍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you 😁😁😁😁😁
Dissapointed! There's no Channa aka Snakehead fish! Why! Except for that, everything is so stunning! I just so dissaponted that theres no Channa in there. Well, almsot all of the Aquariums like these never had Channa.
I wonder why. Maybe they feel that Channa not active enough so won't have public appeal 🤔
@@SGBeardedAquarist I know right! They are wrong to say that Channa doesn't have any appeal to public! Look at Channa Marulioides! The strike of the red and their flower pattern is stunning! Or Channa Aurantimaculata that have awesome Orang Spotted on their boyd, or Channa Barca with his spotted black and Orange Fins like. OR CHANNA BLEHERI THAT'S LOOKS LIKE RAINBOW! AND LAST! CHANNA MICROPELTES! THE BIGGEST YET BEAUTIFUL BLUISH DARK COLOR! . . . . . .. I'm sorry for take my rage in here.
And also, Channa is active. They just shy for a couple of weeks and they will fly like that place is belong to them. Why I know this? I just got my hand bitten by my Channa Marulioides. It's not hurt, but it's kinda startling.
Btw Thanos looks great..cok is huge brah..lol
Yes he has been getting loads of compliments... bet his ego is as big as his kok now
12:04 and now we are looking at the Indian 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
This guy got the Cheese.
I'm all about the cheese, baby please!

If we keep this turtles in singapore they scared we let go and eat our local fish
I've a feeling its just pure laziness from them. Instead of going through the trouble of identitfying which we can't keep.. they decided its easier to just identify what we can; aka RES and malayan box
There isn't a word like fishes dummy😂😂😂
There is. I just don't use it appropriately sometimes. The plural of fish is fish. However when referring to multiple species, fishes can be used.
But hey, least I don't go around calling people dummy before knowing my stuff 😉
@@SGBeardedAquarist but you didn't mention multiple species!
As I said, I just dont use it appropriately. The word exists 😉
@@SGBeardedAquarist go play with your fish at home boi🔥
@@mrs.bigshot4488 doing that right now
He copied paul cuffaro's talking style
I borrowed George Clooney's style of breathing too
Well done...copying two or more styles and making your own style
