A super cool unboxing of some species we've never had in store before. Cichlids, pufferfish, tetra, barb and climbing perch: this delivery had it all!
Which species do you think I should set up an aquarium at home for? let me know in the comments which one you would choose?
The mini studio is also nearly finished with all the components arriving just before I left for holiday. I am so excited to get back and set up loads of fish tanks!

I've had P. aurantiacus for around a year now, and they are great species. The males get an electric green stripe along the belly and the showy fins like the normal Congos. The females are also stunning with vibrant yellow color and the blue eyes. My favorite tetra by far. Thanks for showing us the unboxing!

Years ago I use to work part time in a local aquarium store I look forward to fish delivery day. Opening up the shipment to see what you got was like Christmas morning always a surprise to see each bag. So I understand your excitement on opening day. It was a harder work day but seeing what you got made it worth it. So I also appreciate the work you got to do after the unboxing of the fish. Most customers don't understand the extra work that has to be done before you go home for the day as they are live animal that need special care immediately and going home is not option until you are cpmplete done. And as you see a new fish you what to take them home immediately which create aquarium syndrome where you keep adding tanks to you collection then one day you house is filled with aquariums.

Also maybe tipp for future videos. When pulling the species out of the box and explaning the species maybe put the B-Roll of the fish in the tanks and like a few days later to actually show some development on color etc to actually get people interested cause, yes when the come in they are all stress colored and there isnt much to show then lots of wiggles in murky water in bags. So for future unboxings, dont put the tank shots at the end but put them right after or inbetween the explanation. yes more cutting work but worth it.

funny thing, i watched MD's vid first, and while watching it i was thinking "you know it'ld be really cool if MD and matt set up a tank for some splash tetra's, with leaves hanging above the water so could see them do their thing" then i watch this vid and.... you have splash tetras! fate? maybe? also you would likely be a good person to ask, i'be growing curious about the breeding methods of fish and some other animals, interesting to ponder what would lead them to reproduce the way they do like the splash tetra... how did they get to the point they thought... "you know, we are wet, if we jump we can stick to the underside of that leaf and lay our eggs there, but you sir are going to have to stay here and splash them to keep them wet..." lol but... question is, are there any fish that have a stranger/more unique breeding method than the splash tetra?

I live in Plymouth and am trying to find time to come up to your shop! I could do with advise though. In one of my local pet shops (that isn't renowned for its correct aquatics knowledge) has a type of catfish in that they have labelled as "Synodontis valentiana" but I swear it isn't. It looks far more like a feather fin catfish. I cannot keep the valentiana in my tank, but I would love to keep the feather fins. Do I take the risk of buying them? It seems impossible to get the two catfish mixed up as they are so completely different, hence why I'm sure it the catfish my local pet shop has aren't valentiana.
