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.
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.
@@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
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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 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
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 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
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!
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
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.
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 👏🏻
@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
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.
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
Everyone that spoke on the crowding has been called a hatter, and told they are looking down on the Chinese, instead of realizing the obvious- there's way too many fish in those small tanks.
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!!
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.
Packed tanks but they make up for it with the water quality, only feel sorry for the axolotls becase they like dark and places to hide and they had bright lights on them :(
I am sorry but in Chinese mindset,you have to sacrifice something you hold on if you have no other options left. In this case,it will be sacrificing space for more fishes to sale.
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.
Seeing all those axolotls made me so uncomfortable for them. I know the water is clean and all that, but you have to admit all the fish, not just the axolotls, are cramped. And axolotls can be quite aggressive with each other. It’s bizarre. Some of those ones have really small gills, too. edit: fixed a sentence for clarity.
Dude...they are selling fish, not keeping them in there as forever home. They are not doing charity work there so as long as the fish are healthy, they’ve done their job. Unlike Walmart and many Petco here 🙄
OMG, I always loved going to these markets when I was young, and they haven't changed! Is it in Guangzhou? If yes it's the one that me and my family went.
were i live we have the coolest fish store in one 300 gallom tank its for like 10 goldfish like bubble eyes orandas telescope butterfly and fantail. so much variety and tanks fully planted and their motto is something like 'fish deserve to feel home wherever they might be' basically saying even if you are in a fish store you still deserve to feel at home.
It's GuangZhou HuaDiWan. It's very easy to go if you are in GuangZhou. Simply go to a near by subway station and get on the train, then switch to line 1, take off at HuaDiWan station.
Alex Ruzgus actually in Hong Kong ,rent of a shop is around$5000000 Hong Kong dollar per month. I know some of the shops are truly treating the fish in humane for money, but usually it's because they need to save place for more species of fish. Every center meter matters in Hong Kong , and I hope people understand but not just bitching about China without thinking about others' thoughts(sorry if I offended ur little heart+I love my country too+sorry for bad English)
Yuxiang Jiang Understandable. In China there is overstocked fish, but their tank water is crystal clear, the fish are healthy, and they have bright colours! However in Petsmart, Petco, and Walmart, we got dirty tanks, dead fish in the filters, fish with diseases and Walmart's job with feeding the fish is absurd. In Canada, we actually removed the live fish section out of most Walmarts because of the unattended management on taking care of them.
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 😊😊
Lots of households in Hong Kong and China own fish. It's a very very popular hobby. The popularity of the hobby in the US is very sad in comparison. Asia has a long long history of keeping fish.
I think this market is in hk (where i live) and the place is always CROWDED with ppl, like legit, smtimes i wonder why everyone has fish... but like @s said, asia has a long fishkeeping history (koi in emperor's garden, etc)
Chinese people (at least in my knowledge as I'm Chinese) love keeping fish due to reasons such as fengshui, where they are considered to be very auspicious pets to have, especially goldfish.
I was born in China and many tanks are very crammed but those are temporary. They are usually kept very clean, fish are sold very fast I think that’s probably why
Thanks for keeping the background music respectful. I've seen many vlogs in china where people use obnoxious music that's like filled with stereotypical gongs in a sincere way.

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.
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.

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.
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
omg the way those gouramis were kept was absolutely disgraceful! They literally can't move a foot
Finally someone see this mis treatment the tanks are too small and crowed
They are temporary guys, they will move into (hopefully) better homes
Everyone that spoke on the crowding has been called a hatter, and told they are looking down on the Chinese, instead of realizing the obvious- there's way too many fish in those small tanks.
There gonna move to a different home, hell they’re still colorful and full of life so it’ll alright for the time being.
majority of the pet store in America have no idea how to maximize their aquarium water quality,
Their tanks are the cleanest part of China!
I thought it was a candy shop at 1st then I seen the headlines. Lol 😂😂😂mmm good fish
Same here 😂😂
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
Thank you for bringing us out there!
The most amazing thing in the video was they managed to keep a colony of albino koi guppies alive.
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.
0:40 that Karen just said move out of the way 😂
This is beautiful! Wow, they know how to take car of fish! And the setups are stunning!
Great video! I love China!
TheOnlyValken 😂 nice one!
Wow all are beautiful...love to watch
Packed tanks but they make up for it with the water quality, only feel sorry for the axolotls becase they like dark and places to hide and they had bright lights on them :(
I am sorry but in Chinese mindset,you have to sacrifice something you hold on if you have no other options left.
In this case,it will be sacrificing space for more fishes to sale.
They were also stored with some other fish which would most likely eat their gills .
Don’t expect much in any pet store. The fish are only there temporarily.
I could not be left alone in there
The #1 Kill Joy why?
He would probably go on a shopping rampage. I would too.
The #1 Kill Joy i
Wow nice fish market
Pm me for fish 👍
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.
Seeing all those axolotls made me so uncomfortable for them. I know the water is clean and all that, but you have to admit all the fish, not just the axolotls, are cramped. And axolotls can be quite aggressive with each other. It’s bizarre. Some of those ones have really small gills, too.
edit: fixed a sentence for clarity.
go see axolotl in walmart full of poops abd sick
Dude...they are selling fish, not keeping them in there as forever home. They are not doing charity work there so as long as the fish are healthy, they’ve done their job. Unlike Walmart and many Petco here 🙄
@@user-qw9fq9vb5c my no one said walmart is better he just said they need a little more space from each other
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.
I have been there once, and those local experts told me those fish tanks furnish decorate are also affiliated with fengshui .
may i know where is the address of that,i wanna visit that market soon.
what's the name of this place
OMG, I always loved going to these markets when I was young, and they haven't changed! Is it in Guangzhou? If yes it's the one that me and my family went.
i love go to fish market when i was a kid on sunday.
Wow... mazing mr. i love it discus goodluck mr
Woah! Did I just see some Arapaimas?! Thanks for sharing :)
Indeed
Which one? In 0:05 it's Red Arowana. I believe it's from Indonesia or South East Asia.
That's crazy. I remember seeing 6-7ft arapaima at the Vancouver acquarium when I was a kid..
5:14
6:47 that discus is glitching out
were i live we have the coolest fish store in one 300 gallom tank its for like 10 goldfish like bubble eyes orandas telescope butterfly and fantail. so much variety and tanks fully planted and their motto is something like 'fish deserve to feel home wherever they might be' basically saying even if you are in a fish store you still deserve to feel at home.
Whoa this is an amazing show !!! Hello from San Diego
Wow those are some beautiful tanks 😲
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.
Its a place where any aquarist would go crazy! Heaven in one word!
It's GuangZhou HuaDiWan.
It's very easy to go if you are in GuangZhou. Simply go to a near by subway station and get on the train, then switch to line 1, take off at HuaDiWan station.
No it's in Hong Kong
@@yugixxi9373 GZ
Awesome 😍😍
Omg I wanna visit that place!! I could spend my whole day just in that one spot lol. 🐟🐡🐳
I spent two days and still had more to see
SAK- SOON yeah but where is it in China
Green Life4 he showed clips of Hong Kong so I think it's hong kong
Federico Widder maybe
Federico Widder Don't think it's in Hong Kong, the signs were all in Simplified Chinese.
Your camera picture quality is off the charts! Wow... What a vibrant culture. I love when people share their journeys. Gorgeous footage! Tysm!
👀😵wow...! ! ! Thank you for sharing 👍😄💞👍!
Poor fish
Alex Ruzgus actually in Hong Kong ,rent of a shop is around$5000000 Hong Kong dollar per month. I know some of the shops are truly treating the fish in humane for money, but usually it's because they need to save place for more species of fish. Every center meter matters in Hong Kong , and I hope people understand but not just bitching about China without thinking about others' thoughts(sorry if I offended ur little heart+I love my country too+sorry for bad English)
Yuxiang Jiang u mean us has no rent problem but still small tank for big amount of fish? O wow
Yuxiang Jiang still doesn't change the fact
Yuxiang Jiang never said that poor financially I said I feel sorry for the fish no room
Yuxiang Jiang Understandable. In China there is overstocked fish, but their tank water is crystal clear, the fish are healthy, and they have bright colours! However in Petsmart, Petco, and Walmart, we got dirty tanks, dead fish in the filters, fish with diseases and Walmart's job with feeding the fish is absurd. In Canada, we actually removed the live fish section out of most Walmarts because of the unattended management on taking care of them.
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 😊😊
Addicting!!!!!
I have been to the aquatic market in guangzhou many times, where the fish are super abundant.
And the fish are super beautiful.
Just out of curiosity could one go there, purchase fish and let's say dragon stone for example and have it all shipped back to America?
I dont understand how they have so much...does every single household have an aquarium? How would you ever choose with THAT MANY options
Most houses are small and I read in other comment that people would give them to their children when they get old enough.
Lots of households in Hong Kong and China own fish. It's a very very popular hobby. The popularity of the hobby in the US is very sad in comparison.
Asia has a long long history of keeping fish.
I think this market is in hk (where i live) and the place is always CROWDED with ppl, like legit, smtimes i wonder why everyone has fish... but like @s said, asia has a long fishkeeping history (koi in emperor's garden, etc)
Fish and water element both represent good fortune, prosperity, and abundance in feng shui. Chinese people believe in feng shui.
Chinese people (at least in my knowledge as I'm Chinese) love keeping fish due to reasons such as fengshui, where they are considered to be very auspicious pets to have, especially goldfish.
Too Beautiful collection of Fishes ❤️❤️
As an aquatic specialist, I know those tanks r stressfully overcrowded, but I love how clear n clean their tanks r ♡
I was born in China and many tanks are very crammed but those are temporary.
They are usually kept very clean, fish are sold very fast I think that’s probably why
Do u know where was that in video dude?
It’s nice to see such a god of fish keeping feel happy of other fish tanks
Thanks for keeping the background music respectful. I've seen many vlogs in china where people use obnoxious music that's like filled with stereotypical gongs in a sincere way.
I THOUGHT THE THUMBNAIL WAS CLICKBAIT!!!
I thought the same
just WOW!!! you know the feeling of a child entering a huge toy store.. that feeling man.. whew!
Water changes must be fun in that place.
