oh, i live the intro, your arowana literally seems to be listening and acknowledging you

Following me on facebook yet? I plan to go LIVE with these fish soon: facebook.com/uarujoey

PART 2!! Moving the arowana goo.gl/dcX4uK

I never knew the red hooks could get that big. I'll be interested to see yours grow out. Thanks for sharing!

"I've had this guy for a few years anf we've been through alot together, so i actually like him alot." Awww thats so cute.

all I want to know, how many takes did it took for that skit with the arowana lol

Arowana Grande

How many tries did it take you to get that intro right, Joey? Haha

Awesome! I've never heard of these fish, but they look pretty awesome. I see why they are called 'red hook'. Glad we got to finally see what you got for the Arrowana's tank mates! Thanks! Can't wait to continue the adventure when you introduce him into the new tank with his new buddies. Looking forward to it!

I had an Arrowana I purchased back in 1985 the cost being $75. I would go to that pet store often in hopes of someday buying that fish. After a successful trip to the horse races my spouse finally succumbed to my constant requests for the Arrowana!12 yrs later the fish passed on and I had her freeze dried. Now almost 20 yrs later I still have her👍

What an adventure that's going to be man! Those are just amazing to watch, you can see their wild traits while they were eating. Very cool!

I cannot believe my luck finding your channel. My lady and I have been thinking of getting our own fish tank, and we are just so excited on what fish we want to put together. We're also the diy type of people. It just makes everything feel more personal and fun that way. I can't wait to show my lady this video when she gets home. Automatically subscribing. your channel is exactly what I've look for!

I'm really excited to see your next update! Awesome Joey... Stellar choice fish.. good luck!

Joey I am extremely pleased to see that you are moving on from the episode that you had with your stingrays. Speaking for myself and many fish hobbyists I can say with confidence that its never easy losing fish that have grown within us. This new chapter is going to be exciting cant wait to see what your bottom dwellers are going to be.

Watched your videos for years now, and just have to say, keep up the great work. Have learn tons from you. Was wondering if you have done a video on controlling/eliminating unwanted snails from a freshwater tank. Currently have a zebra Pleco tank setup that's is being over run by trumpet snails, and have tried many remedies. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.Look forward to more vids in the near future. PS, Arowana looks great!!!

never in a million would I expect to hear that beat watching this lol

Awesome choice! I've seen some silver dollars with whole chunks taken out of their body at some LFS and they act just fine. Obviously if your fish is missing body parts thats a huge problem, but the resilience of the fish is amazing. Most fish would've died from stress by that point.

Interesting tank mate choice. Didn't expect that. Hope they become friends! And getting new fish is always so exciting!

RIP Arowana 8/4/2017. You will always be missed :(

I like this guy's approach of making a list and getting the right tank mate. Damned decent of him to ask these questions prior to introducing new fish. I hope I do as well as he.

Silver dollars are beautiful, I had some and they were a nightmare! They literally ate every single plant I had (I did feed them well). So don't recommend them for planted tanks but for you it's ok. They are stunning fishes!

This is one of the two fish channels I can watch anymore

I love how his arowana in the intro was so cooperative😂😂

Love your enthusiasm! Gotta love a guy who loves his fish.🐟

What a beautiful fish. So in awe just watching.

Interesting choice! I've never kept silver dollars. Like you said, the ones you normally see don't seem to have that much color. Looking forward to seeing the arrow in the new tank. Thanks for editing your videos so well. The final product is so much better than even the above average videos here on youtube.

Canadian is interesting to me as my Grandpa was 100% Canadian Indian. Anyhow I've been following your videos for a couple years and your work is aces !! " Question ", I'm getting ready to build a 96"x36"x24" plywood tank and how long can they last/is pond armor with fiberglass seams what you suggest is best ? I've watched over and over your plywood build and can build in my sleep I think.. Hoping you find time to respond. Your Arowana is amazing and the Red Hooks are very cool also.. Thanks

haha loved the bit at the beginning talking to your fish. love all your videos, keep it up!

this guy needs his own show...best dyi aquarium stuff on youtube

The only guy that actually takes proper care of his fish

That is soooo bad ass, cant wait for the video of you putting the Arowana in there and see how it goes.

That 375 would make a amazing biotope! it would probably alleviate some of the aggression breaking up there line of sight sometimes.....awesome new fish!!

what cool mates, can't wait to see how they do together!

This so exciting, i would also like to see more pond videos!

I totally guessed red hook silver dollars! The intro was awesome, your videos have evolved so much over the past few years it's great.

They do look like a mean bunch of fish, it might be the arowana that gets picked on. keep it up Joey.

looking good..when i first got silver dollars i was amazed how quickly they grew..and how much they would eat.

Awesome fish...I want expecting something 'grandiose' you the King of DIY.....congrats for your new fish.

Makes Me Miss My Old Buddies...Had Asian, Austrailin,Black & Silver...Raised From Babies 2 Big Critters Like Yours...Thanks 4 The Memories...!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Red Hooks I have kept them in the past and it was awesome! Kept them with super aggressive fish and they are big enough and fast enough to hang with anything i kept them with. GREAT idea to keep Red Hooks!

I don't know if you trained him or what, but that is the smartest arowana EVER!!!

cant wait to see the arowana with the new fish!!

really sweet set up. I can't wait to see when tank is finished. thanks for sharing, good video!

excellent choice Joey ! keep it up, i hope they will do well with mister Aro

I didn't like the fish but great job joey. You are the best. Keep doing this for decades.

Wow! those look great! glad you found something that will hopefully work out

I guess I'm not the only one who talks to my fish.

that intro though haha, it probably took a lot of takes before the arowana finally did it the way you needed it to, goodluck with the tank mates!

congratz on the new fish! they look great!!

Joey fired up his "Going to the Airport to pick up my fish" Playlist for that ride

haha. get down here, let's have a chat arowana

Red hooks are a great choice . Good move JOEY ? I LOVE EM

Loved this video from beginning to end! Beginning shot talking to your aro was classic. I have red hooks as well and love them. Thanks for sharing Joey!!

This video could have stopped after the first 5 seconds and it would still get the like. Best beginning to a video ever hahahaha

Awesome fish dude! they are going to go great with the arowana! good luck with the move...

Hahaha really cool intro. You are truly passionate about your hobby

geeked! I adore red hooks. loved the intro!

Fantastic editing at the beginning Joey!

Those look great Joey! I wish you luck with adding the big guy. I hope he plays nice.

Joey in my opinion having only 1 fish with amazing personality and character is amazing, i would never go with tank mates ,a arowana with dollars in a tank ,trust me you would never take care or enjoy watching him u ever had and trust me the arowana will never be happy in there it ever it had

Omg the first 20 seconds is so awesome!! Haha how creative!!

Drat! I was guessing wide bar silver dollars. Nice to see them in a big enough tank for a change.

Love that intro!

Looks like he had some fun with the intro to this one.

you should look into buying some datnoids they hold their own in groups and are beautiful to look at. many people keep them with arowana as well. they max out at 20inches

ahhh very good fish choice. I have to say I didn't see that coming. and wild caught?!? BONUS!!

I havent watched your videos for a while. big change. There's actually life in your voice now. It's a good thing compared to videos years ago.

Joey whats the plan for the future tank? That arro and silver dollars are going to cramp that tank.

Very cool, hopefully everything goes well. They will definitely make your Arowana stand out, nice choice Joey!

You picked some sick fish to somehow tank up with that arowana bruz!!!!👊👌

Fired Up Awesome!!! Teasing us with live feed,

Nice one! I'm thinking, he's got either some pacu or silver dollars. Good choice, they're a hardy fish and should be perfect.

Joey. When you used to keep silver arowanas, how were their behavior like? Do they ever come up to you and stay there with you with close interactions or did they always swim around? I want to get a black aro and wanted to know if it'll slow down to interact with me when I'm around. Do they ever slow their pace down enough to be close with you or do they have to keep on swimming? If not, I think I'll opt out for a jardini. I want an aro that knows me and will stay still sometimes.

Awe man it's been a dream of mine to get an Arowana for years now. Thank god I live in Canada! 😜

That opening is legendary haha

I called it! I was thinking silver dollar the whole time you were listing your requirements!! I love these guys I have 6 common ones with my Texas cichlid and they make the best tankmates. Always fast and peaceful, but always get their food too. I can't till I have a tank big enough for the big wild caught varieties. Have you seen the wide bar silver dollars? another beautiful species.

oh he sure was cute as a little baby arowana!

I prefer planted tanks. But, the lighting, tank and kind of fish displayed makes it look cool. Like, you really don't need anything else.

Intro was hilarious ... lol ... I have 4 species of SD's including the Tiger Striped but have never been able to find red hooks anywhere locally .... awesome choice .....

Great looking fishes! Somehow I've identified them as red belly they look so similar.

Cool fish I've seen a lot of fish over the past 25 years but I've never seen those before. Have you ever thought about catfish to go with your arrowana? A big pleco like a panaque would look nice in your set up.

I CANT WAIT!!! YESSSS! Hope he does well with each other!

good pick for the arrowana. I had wild caught red hooks when I was housing central & SA cichlids. you're right they are very varocious eaters once they get used to their environment..

yay! more fish be sure to update brother.

i have kept silver dollars with my big arowana, and it was a success. they've been together for nearly 2 years now.

it seems a large fish can be happy just by themselves and when you change things disaster can set in! you have to start off with just a few tankmates right from the start. big fish don't like to be moved either

Hey man that's awesome! The king of DIY needed new/more fish haha! Good luck man!

Joey amazing fish! I knew they were silver dollars. I have the same ones and they are awesome and active and definitely eager eaters

I'm genuinely excited to see how this works out xD

Absolutely gorgeous!

Lol the beginning of the video was PERFECT 😂😍

The arowana's performance was stellar haahha

They look amazing!

good choice, personality I would have got some wide bar instead of the red hook. as far as I know the event get little bit bigger.

What size tank should I keep a silver arowana in? I have a 135 gallon.. not sure if that will do. Heard mixed opinions online.

LOVELY fish! Good luck with them :)

Myleus rubripinnis are my favourite fish! About one and a half year ago I´ve got 4 "Metynnis" but of one them was actually a M.rubripinnis. So I did my best and kept upgrading the tank to 120gal but he (yea it´s a male) outgrew this tank pretty fast! Right now my little nutcracker (´cause I used to feed him peanuts, Myleus love nuts!) is living in a 250gal tank with 7 more M.rubripinnis and about 10 Metynnis maculatus. Of course I do miss this fish. I´ve got him with 4cm in length and he grew to about 22cm. Have fun with these beautiful fish! Good luck.

finally a video i cant wait for the next one haha im addictted to your videos

New fish is always a great feeling. I've been kinda down lately because the last two new fish, both of which I loved, passed away overnight within a couple of days (one was velvet, the other was an unseasonably cold night that I wasn't prepped for.) Soon I'll have another, though, because my fiancee is going to replace my birthday fish. I'm excited for that. Hopefully it will be similar to the temperament of the other.

cant wait to see them together... 👍👍👍
