Catina Allen hi
Hi
Stay strong
Chinese fish: I lived in a small overcrowded tank, but my owner take a good care of me
Walmart fish: *You're lucky*
Walmart is awful! I wont never never NEVER NEVER in my life buy a fish there. It is just terrible and sad. It is cruel
Walmart fish really should unionize
Thankfully Walmart is phasing out live fish sections in their stores. I don't know if all of the are gone, but many don't carry live animals anymore only the supplies.
the Baystander the emoji uwu
Daniel Figueroa Walmart should just stop selling fish and only sell supplies
I moved to China in 2015 and the first time I saw aquariums here, it blew my mind how much less expensive and more advanced they are compared to the US. The selection of aquatic plants and animals here is incredible too.
How did you manage to move there? For your company maybe? I also thougt of it, but I don't know how.
@@felixfeil7770 I applied for English teaching jobs and found a school to sponsor my visa.
Yes, and ALL of the fish are cached in Nature.......
@@susarell6156 well first off you’re jus rn plain wrong, not saying there weren’t any wild caught ones but there are certain fish that you can’t catch in wild so saying all fish are wild caught with a negative connotation shows how ignorant you are
Freedom > fish tanks. Ps, China condones what happens next door in North Korea. They’re even putting up new surgery offices right along that border, you know, since there’s a surplus of organs coming from north korea
Fish in the Markets usually get bought very quickly but I always get a heart ache seeing so many stuffed in one tanks. Seeing the axolotls made me really sad though. Then again in that place I would be a kid in a candy shop.
Agreed, but notice how insanely clean and well cared for the tanks and the fish are. They wouldn't get so large and healthy if they weren't in good living conditions (despite how crowded it is). Hopefully, the fish wind up in more comfortable aquariums after they've been purchased.
@@danpatterson4723 They usually steal them from the places where they life and put them in there. There is no breeding them
@@LDinoise 100% of those fish are from fish breeders, got to these markets by wholesale, then kept in those small tanks for brief times till they got to the fish hobbyists. You can't find those fish from the wild.
@@kqdwills Never a 100%, just look up e.g. how to breed barracudas
@@LDinoise where did you see barracudas
Just want you to know the guppy store is called "Fat Auntie's Guppy Store" lol
Really? Lol
I like that! 😂

In Hong Kong and China fish market fish sell out really fast, so maybe in the day the fish are so compact together in a small tank(they still can move but not much space) but in the end of the day most of them already sold out already.
Most fish store owner really do care about their fish quality so they care about the fish way far more than you expected. When I was small I use to go to fish market in HK and I love to look at all those beta fish they hv, even though they are in a small places but they move a lot! Not like those in petsmart and petco which only sit in the cup and wait to die.
The fish my family had bought from the fish market when I was in HK lives so long and healthy. I think we had some of them before I was born to almost elementary school gradations! But those from Petco, less than a year!
Most chinese (and asian) pet stores are owned by individuals, so unlike our US chain pet stores like petsmart and walmart, they care about their fish and have a lot more variety they obtain by themselves. A petstore I went in Taiwan had many great things... sharks, flying squirrels, minature pigs, axolotls, jellyfish, you get my point.
AGREED
Same thing here with other Asian countries: been to Thailand/the Philippines and China- almost all fishes are aimed to be sold within the day/week so despite the the overcrowding, most fishes end up sold and exported as well. Some of them get bought wholesale. It's a given that some of them are really expensive species so demand is high for specific traders.
En qué ciudades ?
"they're all looking at me because im filming" No they are looking because you are a giant white guy xD
and the laughs .. the smiling faces .. you're right, it's not the filming
Having spent time in China as a tall white guy, I am probably in hundreds of people's family photos, they just grab you and invite you into their group shots as some sort of novelty. It's quite fun.
@@ValeriePallaoro they are not that curious about white ppl in HK... it's the camera. plus even mainland 1st tier cities have seen their fair share of foreigners... it's only if you visit small cities further inland nowadays.
Shut up, race isn’t real, and that isn’t the reason.
@@ValeriePallaoro it is the filming
US:BIG SPACE,POOR WATER QUALITY
CHINA:SMAL SPACE,CLEAN WATER
Us has poor space to .
Germany:Good water quality, Big space
Hi
Walmart has very small space as well. And too small tank will stunt the fish which isn’t good for long term either.
uk： big space, good water quality, expensive fish, and staff not allow me buy more fish cos my tank size
The tanks look way better, than many shops in Europe or USA.
The lady who said move out of the way around the beginning of it LOL
Lol did she really need to say that-
Normal chinese attitude. 😂
@@AF-dz4ty smh... 1: She’s white and sounds American.
2: You see her later on at 2:47
3: She said “LETS move out of the way” and then cory says how you have to be careful of cars coming through. She’s clearly there with him. So too seem to be the white people in shot right after that.
Rude
@@AF-dz4ty she's white
When I looked at the thumbnail, at first, I thought it was one of those pick n mix stations 😂😂
Chinese we mix guppy and pyranyas me..........
Ha me too
Everyone’s saying the fish don’t have enough space and that they’re so tight.
But you gotta think about it, they’re gonna be sold and compared to the US those fish are in such good quality even though they’re in a tight space
YizTheGreat I know. Water quality is great. Us? Not so much
Actually fish also live in highly dense population in vast sea. Plankton and sea riffs are limited and thwt is where you can get fish.
They need space. US is better.
And they are pumping a ton of oxygen into those tanks.
Most of them are sold, so they stay crumped for just a day of so before being sold.
In this sense, China actually seems to keep their fish in the best conditions compared to the USA and other countries, since the fish sell out so fast they're not kept in these conditions for long, the water is always crystal clear, which shows how they always make sure the fish are in perfect health.
They invented pisciculture ( breeding of fish)
Yes beautiful tanks
As opposed to how they keep their population with social credit scores and brutal lockdowns I guess.
@@bigpickles, yea, well, he's dissing the government, not the people. However, I say he is very welcome since he is opposing a brutal dictatorship.
Just know crystal clear water usually comes from sponge filtration and doesn't show much of anything else. Their stocks constantly sell so they don't have to worry about ammonia too much, with a combination of doing heavy water changes. An environment like that wouldn't sustain unless maintenance was at a peak (which it is).
Just received my sponge filter, air stones, and ammonia pads in Michigan! You shipped so so fast! Thank you!! 🐌🐟
Those big fish near the end of video ☹ feel so bad for them can't even turn in their tiny tanks 😔
It's only a temporary setup until they are sold
they'll find a better home
Idk about China's market sell rate, but at my local store big fish stays there for months... Those big gouramis were in 20-30 gallons I can't say if they always ask their Customers for their tank size and all... They MAYBE just sell it to the first who's gonna buy it. I hope not 😭
The tanks are too small but the water is Soo clear and the fishes look very healthy
CrystalSn0w Exactly! PetSmart and Petco need to take notes.
CrystalSn0w ikr!! I'm also amazed by the fact they're full of energy and actively moving around despite being in a cramped place like that.
Chinese fish markets are known to inject fish with certain chemicals that stimulate active behavior and increase there colors temporarily for viewing purposes. Not saying its happening here but you never know.
They must take a lot of care for them
No plants no stones, nothing in there! Thats why it is so clean. Sad fishes
I can't believe how clean the water is, just beautiful!
Master Betta hi share the location of this market please.

No, it's in Hong Kong

I saw this video when I was at the lowest point in my life. I've kept fish since childhood and had no idea about the RUclips fish community until I saw this. It was early days of the pandemic, I'd be laid off from a plant nursery position which i studied and worked incredibly hard for,, to get into a small community which was mainly male dominated in far north, Aus.
This video blew my mind, the only thing I've seen in comparison is a general open market in Melbourne, with an amazing pet store across the road, but we have nothing like this in Australia, especially in the far north.
Continued watching your fish farm tours, how to videos, slowly catching up on the old podcasts while keeping updating with the new stuff around my own busy lifestyle.
Thankyou for opening my eyes to the RUclips side of things, it's taken my 4 tanks I've owned to proudly being an owner of ponds, indoor display tanks, a rack setup for breeding in the carport. Multi-tank-syndrome? Haha. I've been able to combine my love of plants and fish with the base/solid knowledge you've provided. I've learnt so much and I can't wait to continue learning from you! #nerm
Those tanks were spotless! Wow! Wish we had such a selection in the uk. Very jealous.
欢迎来中国玩
The tanks look very clear and clean imo. The people saying that the fish are too small tanks, although this is slightly true, the population there is so dense, that the demand for fish is higher. I’m sure 90% of those fish only stay there for a week at most, and are sold by the thousands daily.
i would even say that 50% of them are gone by the end of the day, if not more. there’s a very high demand for fish, especially fish as beautiful as these.
"slightly true" ??? look at 6:16. They cant even hardly turn around.... This is simply the worst. Even the small fish have it bad. A single goldfish needs MORE then a 10 gallon tank in order for the environment to balance out (considering pH levels and waste) Not one fish in this video is in a suitable environment. Clean water sure, thats about it
Ned Flanders as they stated, there’s a high demand for fish, meaning they’re sold out pretty quick. They also look really healthy.
While this is very true .. for goldfish, not every fish has the same requirements as goldfish.
Honestly seen a lot of Asian stores etc where they have fish and 90% of the time they have too small tank etc.
heck they even put turtles and gold fishes into little plastic balls where they would suffocate. Please educate yourself.
I could spend days just walking around looking at all of that. Its like nothing Ive ever seen.
Please don't worry
Shelley G. Yes i agree
Shelley G.
There are huge aquarium market in China that has both indoors and outdoors with hundreds of dealers and merchants selling all sourts of things from exotic fish species to cheap supplies, its just heaven for fish lovers.
frank Guan give me a adress please
Their tanks are the cleanest part of China!
I’m not really an aquarium enthusiast but I loved this video so much because I found it so soothing 😊 the fish are all so beautiful and you have used my favourite Chinese song in the background. I found this video randomly but I have subscribed and will be coming back here every time I feel stressed and need to relax. I hope after covid is over you can go back to places like this and show us 😊😊
I would need psychiatric help not to go broke and run out of actual living space in my house if I lived there! Kid in a sweet shop wouldn't even cover it! Thanks for sharing this experience, had no idea this was going on!
sullivan street
For the people saying the tanks look overstocked not only do the fish look SUPER healthy they don't look stressed at all! And hardly go crazy if you approach the tank like over here. I never seen such care for fish at a store and in an ALLEY NEXT TO THE STORE! until now after seeing this video! No dead floaters, no white spots, no bitten fins, plants looked amazing! none wilting or pieces floating they do absolutely spectacular when it comes to care! I want to go there just to learn and buy everything! Lol
WAFFLEooFILMS I noticed that too and I completely agree!
WAFFLEooFILMS boa ey die aquarium sind viel zu klein du amerikanischer null checker🤦🏼♀️
Agreed.... everyone complaining are just typical American crying about something they are jealous of...
At least the fish size is considered in such small tank sizes.
毕竟人家是专业卖鱼的
In China, most of pet stores are owned by self-employed or family size company. These people love fishes and do care about their fishes, that's why they are in this industry, not just for money. Also, people won't buy any fish from the store whose tank is dirty and messy.
Id love tutorials on aquariums from the people that own this shop. The water is crystal clear and the fish all look happy and healthy.
Cory, thanks so much for taking me along on this tour of China. Loved these vids so much. I love your enthusiasm too, you get excited for the rare stuff people like me do and also for the commercial stuff like long fins etc that lots of people look down their nose at. You make the videos so fun to watch and I feel as though you’re my mate even though you’ve no clue who I am!! Lol
I live around this market in Guangzhou for decades, this video show maybe 1/20 of the fish and the place.
For everyone that is concerned about the wellbeing of the fish, it depends.
I live in China, and I visit markets like these to buy fish, hard scape and plants often. I suppose every market is different, and in each market there are different stores which take care of fish in different ways. Some have fish which live bad lives, some live good lives. I have seen stores that have goldfish in filthy tubs or tanks, black ghost knife fish kept in stressful high light conditions, and bettas in cups whose conditions that rival those in Walmart. On the other hand, there are also many fish who live in good, very clean conditions, like those barbs at 1:13. It depends on how each individual store owner/owners treats their fish and what they think about the animal’s rights. This is why we all need to be responsible keepers and buy only from responsible stores, and maybe even tell the “bad” stores what they are doing wrong.
Sick music in the video btw.
im not even into captive fish, but that was ah-mazing. China really performs well when it comes to efficiency, that place was so organized.
I wonder, how they keep tanks super clean. Unbeliveable
monster UV sterilizer in the water cycling system I guess...
Work. And replacing hundreds of thousands of gallons with clean water. Ive seen videos of rivers of water flowing out of that place
I think the shop is new
@@muhammadhossain4139 all the Shop is New? There's a lot stall
Wow that place is unbelievable
Thanks for recording this! It was truly awesome and I love how much care they take in them, so clean!!! And so pretty all the setups
At first glance from the thumbnail I thought it was a pick n mix and then realised I was horribly mistaken 🤣😂 on the other truly beautiful fish and video in general 👏🏻
just WOW!!! you know the feeling of a child entering a huge toy store.. that feeling man.. whew!
Insanely awesome, I don’t know how someone decides on a store to purchase from with the endless streets to choose from. Love it .🤙
I’ve had a 55 gallon fish tank for 5 years and I love my fish. This place amazes me, I love how clean the water and healthy the fish look.
Fish abuse.
Great vid, was due in China for vacation this year - but for obvious reason this has been postponed until 2021 - will definitely be checking out some similar places when I visit
It’s nice to see such a god of fish keeping feel happy of other fish tanks
It's crazy how they can do that day after day. Clear, clean tanks, an ungodly number of fish in them, and all the fish so vibrant and healthy. Insane to somebody brought up in the U.S. Amazingly insane
ShelbyRae Lane They sell out fast only to die in round bowls, the farms will deliver 50 more bags tomorrow, bright and healthy --raised in dye and antibiotics. Don't be fooled by what you see, China has a very poor level of education on animal welfare if at all.

@@wachterwachter typical western stereotype. Go to your Petco and Walmart and see how high the level of education of animal welfare you can find in the aquariums.
This is my favorite youtube video of the whole internet. There's nothing better. I have watched it so many times. It brings me joy.
Wow..... absolutely breathtaking displays. Crystal clear water. I absolutely love the above-water fountains.
LOL! In San Francisco all the Asian tourists have cameras and want to take pictures with everyone, I don't think the locals find you weird but appreciate your presence.
At least, I never think the tourists who do this in San Francisco are weird, I appreciate their company and feel giddy when they ask me to be in their photos.
Really can't wait to tour Asia one day, starting in Japan for sure!
That thumbnail reminds of those candy stores where you can buy candy by the pound - amazing stocking densities of healthy fish - thanks Cory 💕👍
Absolutely beautiful. Not gonna lie I was extremely impressed with just how well kept everything is. We should take note.
So beautiful. I love that the tanks were all so clean. What made me a little sad were how cramped some tanks were in some markets and the ones kept in bags. I hope they were bought soon and go to a good home.
They change water everyday!!! So as those in bags. That's why the water you see so clean and clear. That may not good for fish actually, but the shop do have their way to keep the fish "looks" healthy. And think twice and check twice before buying bagged fishes.
You guys rock, super helpful. Thanks for doing what your doing
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us Cory! Thoroughly enjoyed this. Visiting China is on my bucket list.
They must be running some pretty heavy filtration on these systems, considering how crowded these tanks are.
Places/markets like this is literally a haven for an aquarist like me.❤️❤️❤️
I have been to that fish market twice before. Huge diversity of fish and herps. The store owners are super friendly and encourage people to take photos even if you end up not purchasing anything.
where is it please
Wow, thanks for that fantastic tour.. I can see why having aquariums can become so addictive... the varieties are endless and you just have to have as many varieties as possible... :)
Makes every single shop I've been down here look drab and grungy.
I live in hong kong and i agree that china (including hk of course) has soo many fish !!!!
That was sick. Wow!! An Aquarium lovers dream.
Some good vibes in your Hong Kong & China videos. I like the fact that even though you're in a totally different environment (foreign, crowded, hot, humid etc) you are relaxed, respectful, non-judgemental and appreciative of your new surroundings. Great videos, hope you can do more foreign trips. 👍🏻🙂
Wow! Thanks for the tour. So many fish! Too many fish in one tank. I hope they get sold easily.
The Chinese apparently love their aquarium fish on the large size. I know I have never seen that many Giant Gourami's together at one time. And those Asian Arowana's were just stunning.
Ikr! I know for a fact that if my local fish store had one of those giant gourami It would become the mascot fish of the whole store and they just casually had dozens of them chilling
I love China fish, they know how to properly care for them and how to make them grow beautiful and healthy 😍
Loved this one. One of your best by far.
Wow this video was over way too fast. Loved Every second of IT! A must place visit for me now, and great inspiration.
He has a longer version ruclips.net/video/mlbv9skxuSE/видео.html
Thank you for bringing us out there!
Wow.... They really know how to take care of those fish! It looks so clean and organized! It seems so much more advanced than here in the US.
Their fish tanks look like most of their cities...way overpopulated
@Water & Sky I buy the Guppies from PETCO and they live happily at my home.
One difference the fish tanks are clean
**China has left the chat**
@Water & Sky Nah. Not sure what video you were watching but I have never seen a fish tank in Walmart or Petco with such overstocked tanks as these. 2:40 was ridiculous and I have never seen anything like that in the U.S
Blackopsmw21VLOG lol fish in wlmart eat teir own kind in a tank full of ammonia
This video makes me happy, finally Jimmy's magic touch on a China video. Love that you filmed this, and are sharing with us. Thank you. So much beauty.
Really cool. Reminded me of when I was at the Philippines.
I was trying to slow you down so I could get a good look.
I guess I can add China to my list of vacation spots because I have to see this market in person. It looks absolutely incredible.
That music is perfect aquarium watching music for some reason.
Even though they had overpopulated the tank, the water is very clear tho as if they were just flying around like angels. What a beautiful content with awesome editing stuff mate!👏🏻🖤
Whoa this is an amazing show !!! Hello from San Diego
WOOAW! Some of the guppies looks huuuge😍🤩
Pm me for fish 👍
The most amazing thing in the video was they managed to keep a colony of albino koi guppies alive.
Its a place where any aquarist would go crazy! Heaven in one word!
Beautiful Datnoides Microlepis at 3:55: My favorite fish of all time.
I love how clean all of the tanks are.
Wish we had places like that in the states.
Me too. Middle America please 😂
Wish we had a piece off that in Iraq.
With adult giant gourami in 5 gallon tanks without enough room to turn around? Great.
@@moshunit96 it is what it is. Places like that aren’t exactly well known for the best practices... *exhales smoke in a dark room*
fishes are not living there forever. All shops are like that because they gonna sell it soon
As an aquatic specialist, I know those tanks r stressfully overcrowded, but I love how clear n clean their tanks r ♡
Oh My😍 Cory Your The Man! Wonderful Vid as Usual, Thanks for Sharing!🤗
amazing experience, i've never seen so many beautiful exotic fishes in one place. thanks for sharing
Wow what an amazing video. Love the camera work-editing. Im just now getting into fish. Been a reptile keeper for 26 years. Sometimes you just have to try something new
Did anybody else hear that lady like 30 second in tell him to move out of the way? Lol
Because the car was coming. She was so nice to tell him that.
That was his wife
My favorite video on all of RUclips. Thank you for this!!!
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Your camera picture quality is off the charts! Wow... What a vibrant culture. I love when people share their journeys. Gorgeous footage! Tysm!
Why we never show this part of China like to the masses? Look how beautiful they take care of the aquatics and appreciate it. 🤔 Facts
Great video!😀
Respect Facts -- Probably because it is sandwiched between an ivory shop and a "traditional" medicine shop that features a wide variety of critically endangered species! If they treated all animals the way this shop treats fish, the world would breathe a sigh of relief!
Seymour Seamore wow looks like somebody just humiliated himself
I mean Shenzhen is a possibility with it being closer to HK. Either way, it’s not HK due to writings are in simplified Chinese, not traditional. Lastly mandarin is laughed at because they hate mainlanders so it’s not often you hear anything besides Cantonese from both vendors and customers.
Guys, it is GuangZhou! Take metro Line 1 and take off at Huadiwan station, then exit D
Re spect They actually don't, you don't see that the fishes has a lot to small aquariums (look at the big fishes) and nothing to hide in, no plant for better oxygen, they are not fine I'm sure, they are depressed.
0:40 that Karen just said move out of the way 😂
Can we all appreciate how those bettas were in good quality tanks? They were even mirrored.
I thought it was a candy shop at 1st then I seen the headlines. Lol 😂😂😂mmm good fish
Same here 😂😂
Wowwwww.... I could wander around in there for weeks! 😍😍
Amazing how neat and clean!
Asian Pet store owners take really good care of their fish. Despite them being overcrowded, they do get sold really quickly. Another reason is that Asian (not pertaining to all) can be really thrifty so they tend to take really good care of stuff they own, in this case a huge batch of fish, they take really good care of them so as to maximize profit.
I recently visited and blogged Taipei Fish street...it was so crazy. It looked similar to this too!!! China and east asia is way ahead when it comes to stuff like this!!
Jamie Wang haha, very funny.. 😂
And in Germany too
6:47 that discus is glitching out
Looking at how overcrowded those tanks are and not a single dead fish and they all looked lively.... meanwhile, in the US, pet stores will constantly tell you not to over stock a tank while they keep literal corpses in the tanks for days....
WOW! thank you for sharing! Sending you 40 hugs from southern Sweden 🤩
That was awesome!
This is beautiful! Wow, they know how to take car of fish! And the setups are stunning!
Thank you for the tour.
