Now this is what i call a REAL fish store!!! Thats a store with a very huge variety !!! I could easily go to that store and stock up all 5 of my tanks with 1 trip!!! I live in Indianapolis,Indiana and our fish stores combined dont even have no where near the selection that this 1 store has ! Great Video!

I feel that oscar, he is my spirit animal. I do love axolotls but i have no space for it currently. Also this video almost felt like cooking for aquariums channel. I am looking for yoyo loaches here for my asian tank but i have not found them yet. You look cute eating slushie in the video haha. I geuss having a high PH is problematic for keeping aquatic plants since plants like a bit lower ph, also wood features can lower pH as well. You must have enjoyed yourself seeing all those cichlids.

guppies are notorious for nibbling on other fish fins so they would probably nibble a lot on the axolotls.

I realize that it's harder to get fish in Australia not like the US . It's absolutely understandable why your prices are so high .I can get a big verity of cichlids for $5.00 to 20.00 each. Gold fish are so cheap also .80 cents to $5.00 . It actually depends on who you buy them from because I've seen some up to $20.000.00 $800.00 so you have to do alot of shopping to get the best deal around.

33:04 That'll depend on how well your house is insulated. AC for a medium-sized room should have about 2.5kW (which means using about 800W electricity), and a cooler for a single 6f tank will have around 400W. The question is how long each of them would need to run. And there are so many other factors. I guess the best choice is to get both - use AC to have a comfortable room temperature and a chiller control the water temperature more precisely.

the issue would be how well the house for axolotls is insulated :P the human house is a second factor

AQUEON has to have some of stupidest people in charge of greenlighting their vast lines of aquariums along with a very widespread list of products. I definitely have no problem buying what I consider some of the best Aquariums with the PETCO 1/2 price deals , but when I get home I will be very busy carefully removing the excessive caulking that is just about as good of an example that the standard of quality is non existent with the people who have been consistently following the recipe for producing a bunch of inhumane crap with a very small sampling of a useful item o two. It's a mindset that I hope one of those in charge will have a look at what is going on in Germany or the Netherlands , Poland , Italy , Australia , Austria , Belgium , Spain and my point is that we are so far away from the quality aquatic products that are common in almost everywhere in the world. I am not saying that you would never find a few questionable products in some of the stores in a few 3rd world countries...... I think it's a possibility but the majority of the crap PETSMART & PETCO sells is a real shame and I would never even consider buying any of their fish aside from Betta's for obvious reasons. 😲
