Hey Nick, regarding the clown killi’s I noticed that you have Hydra in that tank (on the glass during the close up camera roll), so it might be all over the tank and plants, if you take a closer look. It’s a pain to get rid off, but I had much more success breeding fish, without the risk of the fry getting hurt or killed by the hydra. Might be worth a try moving the killi’s to a different tank without hydra. Thanks for your great content, love watching your videos. Keep it up!
I tried many things to get rid of it. What worked for me after all was feeding less and especially no fine powdered foods or baby brine shrimp. That will starve it out
Total Fish Nerd! He says “I really don’t want to show you tank after tank” then proceeds to show tanks for the next hour! Lol😂. But that’s OK because we love it! That’s why we are all here!
Three good examples are. Good mutt guppy’s. Easy to source and mass breed a large number and regularly breeding. Show quality fancy guppy’s ten times the price with smaller percentage of fry reaching a sellable size and standard. Corys bronze, paleatus, or albino cheap and easy to breed. Against sterbai or panda corys again much more expensive to buy with smaller broods and less number of spawns per year. So a couple of breeding groups of each of the common corys will earn more revenue than several tanks of the rare fish. Same for bristlenoses common types even the long fin types will always produce more numbers and higher total revenue that the rare and exotics like peppermints. So many breeders use some of the bread and butter income to subsidise their specialist and rare species breeding programs.
Always love the tours to see how your shop is growing. The amount and variety is amazing! For me the star of the show is your adorable canine companion. It is so obvious the love your dog has for you. I lost my dog to cancer recently so this just warms my heart.
As someone that's only gotten into tropical fish and in turn your videos in the last 3 months can I just say how much I love how the tache seems to make an appearance every 6 months or so 🤣
ive only seen a few of your vids ..having discovered the chanel a few days ago..the way u go out over australia and collect wild fish always makes me think of this one oasis out from Kunnanurra Wa.. fresh waterhole ...very small with a large flatish angled rock in the middle and some boab trees at one side edge... crystal clear watter and millions of tiny super colourful fish i remember bright blue red and silver but only saw them from above ...didnt snorkle. Wonder what they where ..i remember a slim fish about 2.5 cm max. Ps: this was at least 35 years ago
I used your rock pile idea for hillstreams. It worked so well that i have had at least 5 different batches of fry that i can tell so far. I moved the adults to a 40 from a 20 and hopefully they'll do it again for me. They are amazing to watch.
I do love the Neon and Cardinal tetras, but my Glowlight Tetras are SUPER pretty in my home tank! I think all 3 species of the common tetras ate spectacular!!
I would be ever so grateful if you could share your tank rack construction with us, perhaps post some pictures of all aspects of the rack, including underneath, I would love to build something like that in my home but need to see more detail. Keep up the great content, I look forward to each new video as I learn so much :)
Nick, this has to be my favorite video yet and the only one Ive commented on. Watching you grow and learn and expand is so fun! I I wish I could come to your shop in person! You're great at keeping it real and the enthusiasm you have is infectious. The stache took me by surprise! Love it!
I have these rainbows 11:00 I feel alot of people don't purchase them because they do not look good in store, like yours they are very pale. Once you get them home and a couple of weeks later they becoem the most beautiful fish
Thanks for this tour, Nick! The place is really looking great and you're doing lots of really cool stuff! I can't wait to visit Australia someday and see your shop in person. Also, Harlan is a great cameraman!
If i lived there obviously will be my favourite fish store 🙂 you do a great job and because you devoted to your hobby all the fish looks happy healthy and the great coloration showing , 👍
Im a salty fella, but you always make me want to get back into tropical. Awesome to see the shop grow and progress, good on you bro! Keep up the good work
great video, do breed some cardinal or neon tetras and post vids. show the fish next time. love to see the guppies. the bettas look cool. love the blue eyes!
Man this seems like a sea of tanks. Have been following you for a while. Love your content and how you are in there for the love of it and not just monetary gains.
The fish keepers/Aquarists down there are so lucky to have you and your store. I love all the rainbow fish. Have you breed Celebes rainbows? They are my favorite.
Another great collaboration between you and Harland! Updates on the fishroom and current projects are always entertaining. Love see stuff about the rainbowfish and blue-eyes, especially the natives. Are we likely to see Sammy and Adrian's Ziggy in a joint appearance? 😀😀
HI NICK AND HARLON!!!! SUPER OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!! LOVE THE SIMPLISTIC WAY YOU ACTUALLY HAVE GROWN YOUR SHOP!!!! IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THE JOY YOU HAVE WITH THE BREEDING OF FISH. YES, THE DIFFICULTIES HAVE DEFINITELY GIVEN YOU A REAL-LIFE EDUCATION! YET, YOU HAVE KEPT THAT UNIQUE LOVE AND DEVOTION WITH THE HOBBY AND THE HONESTY OF THE PASSION!!! CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU RELEASE THE NEW PROJECTS YOU HAVE COMPLETED!!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE!!!!
Regarding Clown Killis, i breed them with one pair and lots floating plants(your set up looks great, but hard to see the fry), they stay near the surface), the adults don’t eat their fry, but the fry will eat their younger siblings. For best yield remove the fry once they get stripes and keep them with similar sized fish. If you keep the fry you’ll most likely end up with just a few fry until they are fully grown up. Fry grows ridiculously slow (think more like rainbow than killi).
100% up for some tetra breeding, in particular if you bred cardinals I’d be def picking some up off you. I have a school of around 15 and for some reason every year I lose a couple, I think that just happens with cardinals and neons. So some local bred ones I’m guessing may be a little more hardy. But anyway would be super interesting and there’s a lot of really desirable and hard to get tetra that could be worthwhile you having your own breeding stock of.
Good discussion to increase the store space! Also awesome to see that you are doing this more and more seriously. I get that breading is your one passion but do not forget that you can do your passion because the store. Don’t view them as separate things but as the reason you can do your passion.👏 your don’t know me, but I think your doing a awesome job 🫡
I think is sooo crazy that when I started watching you it was a video about I think beginner plants in your mom’s breakfast room. Now you have a whole store.
Shop is looking great! Keep up the good work. Also I’ll be ordering your food again it’s a hit with all my fish tanks. I live in the states but it’s worth the shipping
I keep shrimps in most of my thanks. The only tanks that have none are my breading tank and my california black worms culture tank. Awesome tour, interesting new look😊
Was in the expanded store on Wed with my brother, great as always (the golden tickets were a great distraction for the kids haha). Yep I've still got my panda corys from when you 'flooded the market', going strong! And EBAs which have just reached maturity and starting to breed themselves.
Damn bro, Congrats, last time I saw one of your videos you only had like 20 tanks in the front and the breeding tanks at the back but definitely not that many. awesome man
On your online fish for sale site, any chance of adding water parameters of the fish listed. Water temperature and pH would be particularly handy for me. Love the site.
Awesome man, I’ve been watching for a long time and have learned a lot, now I’m breeding tons of fish and selling to my LFS for cash (not store credit anymore) they prefer my fish over everyone else’s. Keep it up bro
hey Nick , I'm digging the mustache, now take the leap! throw away your razor, grow your beard, quit getting your hair cut, let your freak flag fly Brother ! you are an inspiration to every fish keeper ! you're living the dream ! you went from a small fish room to an actual LFS a successful youtube channel, you're traveling around the world ! and I doubt you're even 30 yet. CONGRATULATIONS ! I'm happy for you, its awesome to see the next generation in the hobby really excel !
Please do a Stache progression video like you do for the fry
Totally agree. I never understood why stores used a blue background
Came for the aquarium content....stayed for the mustache 😀
Thanks 😀
Freddy Mercury or C Bum ?
Old guys remember Don Frye.
I came for the mustache and stayed for the aquariums
Ya its so original and Neato
same 👌🏽👌🏽 he looks cute haha
Hey Nick, regarding the clown killi’s I noticed that you have Hydra in that tank (on the glass during the close up camera roll), so it might be all over the tank and plants, if you take a closer look.

Might be worth a try moving the killi’s to a different tank without hydra.
Thanks for your great content, love watching your videos. Keep it up!
Can you tell me what number on the video you see the hydra? Just for my knowledge. Thanks
Yeah sure! At 34:25 right above the second L in Killi on the glass. With the stringy tentacles
I tried many things to get rid of it. What worked for me after all was feeding less and especially no fine powdered foods or baby brine shrimp. That will starve it out
Total Fish Nerd!
He says “I really don’t want to show you tank after tank” then proceeds to show tanks for the next hour! Lol😂.
But that’s OK because we love it! That’s why we are all here!
WAIT-- the stache suits you 10/10 🤩 but the "betta wack" was 100% the best part of the video 😂 1:33
Those mustaches are great. I have never seen one of those. Combined with your eyebrows they are one of a kind
Three good examples are. Good mutt guppy’s. Easy to source and mass breed a large number and regularly breeding.

This warms my heart. I love tropical fish keeping and the little fishys so muc.

شكرا جزيلا على الفيديو! 🇪🇬
We’re so lucky- 2 vids in a week! Thanks so much I love your videos.

P.S. What size are your tanks, is there more than one size?
Nick, this has to be my favorite video yet and the only one Ive commented on. Watching you grow and learn and expand is so fun! I I wish I could come to your shop in person! You're great at keeping it real and the enthusiasm you have is infectious. The stache took me by surprise! Love it!
I was NOT ready for the awesome stache. 😂
Hey there, bloody loving your channel, so informative and made great for the small hobbyist. Keep up the great work mate.

I only purchased from a store that I know quarantine their stock. It is a no brainer.
Excellent evolution of your system, great to see you adapting and changing as you need to.

Love the German blue rams
It's cool you have your own business doing what you like!
Looking great! You have come a long way, and I have enjoyed watching your business and channel grow. Thanks for sharing 😊
The pond is looking awesome, great job love the plants
I wish you were closer to me in the states so i could buy your fish!!
Haha I’ve never seen you with a mustache and I thought it wasn’t you haha looks so good!!! ❤😂😊
Love these videos, my pothos are taking over my aquariums now after taking ur advice to put some in!
Shrimp are awesome. They can be added to any tank with compatable water. Worst case scenario - they will make for a very healthy snack for your fish.
Great video and grand stache! Your moustache has authority lol and we respect its authoritaaah!

😱Crazy that the siblings will eat their fry siblings!
😂More dangerous than the Brady Bunch!
great full update and nice to see your vision grow,,,,,,,,, keep it going
You should give sparkling gouramis a go for breeding

Love the soup strainer Magnum! Solid.
I think is sooo crazy that when I started watching you it was a video about I think beginner plants in your mom’s breakfast room. Now you have a whole store.
Have you considered setting up a couple of dosing pumps for the declorinator ?
Shop is looking great! Keep up the good work. Also I’ll be ordering your food again it’s a hit with all my fish tanks. I live in the states but it’s worth the shipping
You should do a list of your favorite tetra species to keep and a bit about them
I keep shrimps in most of my thanks. The only tanks that have none are my breading tank and my california black worms culture tank. Awesome tour, interesting new look😊
2 catepillars under the nose.... great look!
I'm in need of your prayers and positive energy. Please keep me in your thoughts.
I didn’t realize you had your own fish store! That’s awesome!
Was in the expanded store on Wed with my brother, great as always (the golden tickets were a great distraction for the kids haha). Yep I've still got my panda corys from when you 'flooded the market', going strong! And EBAs which have just reached maturity and starting to breed themselves.
Your videos have been a big inspo for me an your a big reason i started my YT channel and I love the mustache
Damn bro, Congrats, last time I saw one of your videos you only had like 20 tanks in the front and the breeding tanks at the back but definitely not that many. awesome man
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing
Looks like you’ve come up on the caterpillar collection also😂
Love the mo Nicko
Great fish room and mustache!
Wow your shop looks amazing….
What a mustache my friend. Nice job
can you make a video breaking down the self filtering system for the warehouse? that's incredible.
Blue eyes are my favorite rainbowfish. Im just starting to breed mine.
Ooh the mustachio😂😂😂
Love the 80’s Cop Mustache
More like 70s Era Dingy Porn Star.
Thanks!
Hey, Tetras are awesome. Just keep it Tetras 😉 Cheers from Dortmund Germany ❤
Yessss Nick! Thank you for the vid! You make my day
On your online fish for sale site, any chance of adding water parameters of the fish listed. Water temperature and pH would be particularly handy for me.
Love the site.
I noticed hydras inside the clown killies tank. If they’re having babies there’s a good chance that the hydras are getting them.
You sure it was a hydra and not a tiny stem from the hornwort
I wish we had demand In Hawaii for fish like this. I’d love to make a room like that and breed fish.
Good work Freddie Mercury
😂
Lovely
Good lord! Kid’s got a Stache now
keep the moustache, it suits you perfectly, from seaside lover boy to outback ranch chad.
Thumbnail: Yes he finally shaved of the baby moustache. Pressed play: NOPE! 😂😂😂
Anyone else notice the creator’s unique style?
Hello Nick! If you’re looking for a full time employee who knows how to breed ornamental fish and maintain a facility I would love to work with you.
Awesome man, I’ve been watching for a long time and have learned a lot, now I’m breeding tons of fish and selling to my LFS for cash (not store credit anymore) they prefer my fish over everyone else’s. Keep it up bro
You should breed petricola catfish
Or Freddimercurycola stashfish
Great
I was at your shop last week - awesome set up for some bug buffet, adopted some fish but didnt get to meet you :(
Love the content mate! Can I ask where do you get the black foam you use for under the tanks?
That was awesome
The Vietnamese white clouds look kind of similar to the beckfordii pencilfish
What is the black with yellow spots pleco? It's beautiful, I have googled the description but I'm getting mixed answers. 😂
Bring bug buffet to Europe/Norway please, i wanna try it
hey Nick , I'm digging the mustache, now take the leap! throw away your razor, grow your beard, quit getting your hair cut, let your freak flag fly Brother !
you are an inspiration to every fish keeper ! you're living the dream ! you went from a small fish room to an actual LFS a successful youtube channel, you're traveling around the world ! and I doubt you're even 30 yet.
CONGRATULATIONS ! I'm happy for you, its awesome to see the next generation in the hobby really excel !
Thanks bro 😎
😂😂you said you’ve been breeding fish a really really long time, dude you look 20. 😅 sorry to give you hard time, love your videos. Your super cute
What brand of lights do you use or prefer?
Are the peppermint bristlenose you have cassified at L181 or L183?
What light you are using brother for fish tank??
You gotta start breeding massive pleco cactus pleco and more
