Usually, Every store knows I’m coming in advance. I usually just don’t know the exact day or time. With that said, I have absolutely zero interest in making a store look bad or focusing on a dead fish or 2. Who knows when a fish came in or the condition it arrived in, for example. If I see anything that needs to be addressed, I do it off camera. With thousands of fish coming and going daily, there is bound to be a bad tank or more. I usually make sure they know I’m coming so they can look their best. My job is to promote the hobby, not bash stores. I’ve been in the hobby too long to know a bit too much behind the scenes with importing to assume a skinny fish or dead fish is the stores fault.
I always like seeing different stores.. however it's a peeve of mine when I see they don't have prices. How hard is it to type out prices/type of fish and slap it on or write them on the glass (it can come off..). That goes for any kind of store I go to.
The fish you did not recongnize around 8 mins are Jacundás (as we call here in Brazil), Crenicichla zebrina. I believe you call them zebra pike cichlid.
@TMKAquarist this guy is a legend! I don’t know whether some of the viewers know him or not, but this guy has an amazing knowledge about freshwater aquatics …❤
My favorite fish store to go to 💯💯. And my wallet is unlucky hahaha it’s so pricey at vanstar but they have the best fish selection. Thanks for the Cali love Joey!
Their tank bottom flooring really sets off the tank actually, looks pretty cool. EDIT: referring to the black with white lines NOT white with black lines. Did one of those puffers need a tooth trim? his/her teeth looked hella long
Im sure the last tanm werent silver arowanas they were albino arowanas as the yellow colouring. The piraiba and tigirnus catfish stunning just got some myself 👍
Joey, I think you should get an aero. Wanna a little one like that and grow themouth or 2. That story your rat has some cool fish. I never seen either.
im curious just how often these fish are sold, especially the more expensive ones. Id hate to think that they would spend their entire lives in that tank waiting to find a home.
I agree about pricing on his aquariums. When I see an owner like this, I usually walk out. I know when I don't see prices of fish on tanks & when the owner when asked how much, he starts off with uhhh... It becomes how much he thinks he can get out of you, usually a very high overpriced amount. Store owners like this, no matter what they are selling, can go F themselves! They are just hurting the hobby with their greed.
Did Joey show up unexpectedly or did store have advanced notice?

So awesome to see so many of the same species in the same tank. Not something you see very often but it's beautiful.
what a great year it’s been, wishing you and Apple a safe trip back home!
That fish store looks awesome!!!
I love the black arowana!
Great video!
I love fish store videos like this as I simply don’t have anything in the same country here in nz, let alone locally
Epic shop
the best fish store 😍😍😍😍😍,love it
Lol so awesome seeing Gord learning from the King!
Gotta learn from the 🐐
Look like juvenile tiretrack eels to me. Also I agree with your pronunciation of bichir. I prefer bye-sure as well
This store is crazy!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I hope you went to 7 Seas Tropical Fish in San Pedro and Nolan's Aquarium in Santa Ana while you were here too.
What was those plecos? The black ones with the red on the fins? Those are stunning. I'd love to look into those.
L25 scarlet pleco
@@robfigueroa5457 awesome thank you 😊
Serious question, is that just rolled vinyl flooring in the bottom of those tanks?
Wonder what the brand racks they have their tanks on.
Fantastic shop😊 Is that tile or something like linoleum?

puffer fish are too cute
all tanks are amazing,, thanks
The west coast is covered with fish stores and wholesalers. They got to have to step up their game out there.
Awesome Stocks! Real Deal!
What happen to your discus
You better send a couple of those pike home!
Eric is the man and his pricing is fair and has knowledgeable people working with him! Alot better then that circus in NY !
Thank you😊
You know a store is amazing when your not losing attention to a single tank
Plecko having the time of his life
Joey you had me cracking up when you pointed out the discus on its side.
Im loving that flagtail, i had one about 1 inch
Yeh tire track eels.
Beautiful arowana but aren’t they illegal in CA/US?
Hope you got Wolf fish.if not please get one ..

Word a week without a video and it’s this
The spiny eels looked possibly like Mastacembelus Favus or Armatus
Armatus but from India a different variant
I get a lot of my fish from Vanstar. They are a big wholesaler across the US
Thats insane :D the polypterus sp. Gisela 😍
My favorite fish store to go to 💯💯. And my wallet is unlucky hahaha it’s so pricey at vanstar but they have the best fish selection. Thanks for the Cali love Joey!
Damn Joey saying that they rare and exciting fish just means it’s gonna be a good video 😂
Can anybody ID the fish at 7:55 and the ones at 10:55?
U should get a Goliath tiger fish ?? I would love too you grow one out
I’m in L.A. today. I can’t believe I breathe the same air as the the king 👑
What is the orange fish called?? And why is it $20k?
it's a xantic datnoid. a very rare genetic oddball, only expensive due to its rarity
JOEY HAD ONE OF THE BEST PACK HUNTERS IN WATER RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM AND ALL BRO WAS INTERESTED IN WERE THE SHRIMP!!!!! TYPICAL JOEY

The lack of price tags would drive me nuts!
Im sure the last tanm werent silver arowanas they were albino arowanas as the yellow colouring. The piraiba and tigirnus catfish stunning just got some myself 👍
California is hot until mid November or towards the end of November
Incredible amount of some very expensive , very rare and very glad I will never be shopping there too 😏
You in Los Angeles are you doing a meet and greet
I did! its already done!
Omg how much are the bichirs
Amazing for the fact that they seem to normally stock quantities that Joey would buy and not have to order.
That moray is brackish water
He casually goes past the red line puffers not realising their value.
They are dying, there is no value left
i like orange chicken tank
What your friend TH-cam channel name
Rod from predatory fins needs the Pima to grow out
Joey, I think you should get an aero. Wanna a little one like that and grow themouth or 2. That story your rat has some cool fish. I never seen either.
Joey, pikes!!!!
Joey bruh that tiger Murray eel in that 20k datnoid tank is so insane😭.
He really needs a website. I really wanted to check his store out
Whats the name of the 20k fish?
Xanthic Datnoid
@@CMillares64 than you!
Where did the squid go? I haven't seen it in a while
He rehomed it because he wasn’t doing well with the late night feeding schedule.
Hopefully Joey got another bicher shark. I'm sure his could use a friend lol. He could probably breed them.

Howdy
In Los Angeles? It's 84° in San Francisco.
🤩
I didn't know you're Canadian
🤦♂
Do they have any discus fish? 🐠
Looks like you stoped by my second Home
Damn he should've gone to CK aquarium the next town over in West Covina.
He did an event there this past sunday
@@mkvp3794 damn sorry I missed it
he did :) video out soon too
No prices on the tanks means probably insanely expensive
It’s a 30 minute drive from dtla
Why doesn't the store have price of the fish on the tank or on the sticker but besides that they have some cool fish 👍🏽
Man that's the best fist store ever imagine having them in a big tank
That's not LA weather, that's Inland Empire weather. Los Angeles metro is BIG. It'd take me a couple hours to get up there. Nice shop, though.
Took me 18 hours to get there each way haha
20 mins east of DTLA :)
Get some datnoids! We never seen you get datnoids!
Public comment was added to the comment section of this video. Just for the engagement
Building a stand on Saturday for my 180 gallon, piranhas are going into a bigger tank
These fish are the if you have to ask its too expensive lol.
True
Some tanks looks a bit to much filled but yeah it’s a store I get it
@predatoryfins did you guys see that PLATINUM ARAPAIMA 😮
20k for that Datnoid is a super bargain!!!
@predatory fins should get that platinum pima, you should tell him about it
Where can i buy guppies online in canada ? And also Canadian bred mollies ?
What's wrong with a guy on a Harley Davidson?
Everything
@@Ze-Germanzuk 🤣 Well, there's no accounting for taste, I guess.
Hey, That’s my lfs.
Prefer gulper catfish
Dang I'm seeing this 3 weeks to late. I literally stay 3 blocks away from there and have to tell my self not to go in there lol
@BlakesExoticAnimalRanch
platinum aripima☝
I thought Arrowana fish were illegal in the states
If it was really a Platinum Arapaima Rod from Predatory Fins would be already owning it.... Nothing more to say

29th comment 😎
Joe did not hear the name of that fish properly what’s it called and why so expensive?
If thats 20k. I rather get a super red arowana 😂. Cost similar price. The problem is it illegal in most countries
Same!
I’m with you 100% Joe. I don’t want to think about some a$$hole biker on his hog when I’m enjoying my favorite hobby. 💪🏼
