The 800-gallon aquarium has finally been moved, opening up more entertainment space in the other room. Cory is thinking of putting clown loaches and Congo tetras in it, but first the scratches in the acrylic need to get professionally buffed. He's also been busy testing a new micro krill pellet and bleaching some of the tanks to remove algae and excess java moss. Cory definitely has plans to get more fish though, so what do you think he'll get next?

*Any suggestions for what fish and plant selection Cory should try next?* Also, check out this video of master breeder Dean trying out our fish food in his fish room: ruclips.net/video/OLGFmWoELFE/видео.html
I think he’s mentioned them before, but I think some porthole cats would be interesting!
A fully planted bicher tank with either royal acaras, snakeskin gouramis, or some sort of mid/upper swimmer... but thats what id do with it lol
Please do African cichlids, I love your channel but us cichlids lovers could only dream of an 800 gallon setup.
You could do a book on your Peru trip or another of the like
Personally I would Take someone in who has never had an aquarium before and see what fish THEY like, Someone NOT into the hobby.
Oh man, Cory! I need that mini micro itty bitty krill stuff! Can't wait! My endlers and shrimp are waiting! 😊
That’s a great name for it… Itty Bitty Krill 😄👏🏻
I really like the suspension on that tiny pellet! It looks better than Xtreme Nano, which I feed partially because it stays in the water column longer. If you get it to market, I will happily try it out! 😊
Glad you're getting to work from your fish room now! Its nice to just be in there and get to do little things when you have a couple minutes. Enjoy picking out your new fish!
Cory, We need that micro food ASAP!!!!
Wow that new micro food you are working on cory looks awesome and promising im loving it already 👍 thanks for sharing
Best thing about this channel is watching him chsngjng his fish room around. Really helps me from constantly changing and moving mine around
I love videos like this. Just hanging out with Cory. It’s like visiting with a dear friend and catching up.
I can't amagine all the work, time and money it took to get where you are today. Congrats!
The fish food looks good. I'll be interesting to try it out. Manufacturers don't make enough variety of nano pellets.
I'm glad to see you are keeping more fish that you are interested in
Back to the roots!
Speaking of messy desks, every horizontal surface is potential storage.
I really like this video. Your photos made me smile. Fantastic offish progression 😊
Krill Nano Pellets. Might get you more interest from the people specializing in nano tanks and nano fish. Lots of products aimed at mid sized fish, not so many for the nano fish (food wise). Micro Pellets with Krill? Ehh, you will figure it out!
I'm looking forward to the micro pellets! Meanwhile, it's great you can make time for your hobby and enjoy the tanks.
Best regards always!
Free the Roomba! Viva la vacuum! 😂🐟
🔥video... I especially liked the photos showcased in the fish room; such beautiful pictures! Can't wait to try the Krill Micro Pellets!
@5:00min I thought his new idea was to have M&Ms in the shop! I agree Cory they are ALWAYS a great idea. LOL
Finally became a member ! Bought a pile of Co-op supplies from my local RPP dealer to finally try the Co-op products and having done so, I'm a believer ! Can't rave about the can of brine shrimp eggs enough. I was at my wits end using tons of brands including the "big names" and now I'm loving hatching them daily. Combined with the Ziss Hatchery I am thrilled. Keep up the great work !
Glad to hear it! We actually use our products and want them to work well. We've used everyone elses eggs our whole life... If we do them we need to make them better in some way ;)
UNSOLICITED ADVICE: why dont you get one of those roll-down projector shades for the 800 gal? you can quickly pull the shade down to kill any glare/reflection on the other wall of tanks. its a bit extra, but you like to go above and beyond
Not a bad idea. Prolly need one that is black to not cause reflection. I wonder if I have any kind of black sheet or something to test it out.
@@AquariumCoop black out black curtains have worked for me.... and then a drop down projector screen for movies 😅
One good thing about acrylic is you can buff out scratches 👍 man I’d love to have a 800 gallon so nice
Wow! I only now realized the full extent of your offish. It's huge. Impressive.
Excited for tiny krill!
You are 100% on to a winner with the the micro food! I need it here in Australia
That food looks amazing. Here's hoping one day you will ship to Australia.
16:11 instead of printing out the photos, use a digital pic. frames load your photos on a usb drive. let them play through
Dude... I can appreciate how a reset feels. My fish room looks like a bomb went off in there right now, because I didn't have a plan in mind when I changed it last time...
Thanks for the updates and tour. I have two 3D printers. They are fun and handy. The hole in your big sponge was too big for the intake tube of my FX2 filter. I created and printed a sleeve to fit over the end of the intake tube. The prefilter sponge fits perfectly now.
That fish food would be very nice to have for CPD's.
I've been a big fan of all the most recent fish food available on the site!!
Cory, you should do Texas rock (white) and African Cichlids. It would look awesome with all thw colors‼️
I like the idea of the new food. I think you need a micro floating pellet in your line up to compete or replace Hikari guppy and Hikari micro pellets.
Exactly what I was thinking! A more affordable version of Hikari Guppy would be incredible! It's one of my favorite foods but the tiny package is too costly.
@@ReneesZooTube yeah! I need bulk package floating krill micro pellets!
I love that you are keeping Clown Loaches again. They are my top 3 favorite fish all time. Once I have the space I’m totally getting them again.
Hi Cory if that huge tank where mine i would start with shell dwellers,brichardii and frontosa ,could look amazeballs!,love your videos.😊
I love your videos Cory, it’s so interesting to me to hear your thought process. I learn a lot and I appreciate your perspective. Thanks.
This must have been before you got the tank buffed? Fishroom is looking great. I love the vibe of the pictures.
Tbose scratches u have going on is exactly what happened to my 600 gal with a 2' gatf. He would go up and down the side window scratching it with his teeth/jaws 😅
Great video and information 😊 I'm starting a fish room
That food looks incredible! Reminds me of the Hikari Fancy Guppy, which is love to feed but is expensive given the small package size. I'd love a more affordable version.
Cory, have you ever done a video about raising brine shrimp to adult to feed? If not, I’d love to see one, always wanted to try it.
Might I suggest adding a vibration sensor to your 'testing' tools? I recently realized that the reason most of my fish were hiding in a couple fo my tanks were the vibrations from some of my equipment on the tank walls creating quite a 'noisy' interior fo the tank and seemed to be stressing my fish out.
13:58 man, get this stuff on the market! i'm already sold! :D
i kind of hate how the food i have floats or dives to the bottom. definitely nothing hanging out MID.
My current ACO Easy Fry Food spends a good 3-5 minutes in the column, longer in the tank that has the most UGF directed mid tank flow (circular circulation around the tank)
Love these videos watching it all come together 😊
thats called fancy guppy food
So when is Aquarium coop going to get into saltwater Macro Algae tanks? Easy green can and is used by saltwater planted tanks. New frontier for the company!!! Let’s go!
Please please please add a tiny scoop with the granular/bloodworm foods. Seeing you tip the package to feed gave me a PTSD episode.😮 I am very interested but I think it would be beneficial to the masses to prevent overfeeding.
It was quite a job with the original room layout, more so when you went away for an event, this is much more manageable.
watch out with the 3d printer in the same room as the fish, it could be good for the other room you cleared out.
I was wondering about off-gassing
I'd be curious to know how you're using bleach to clean/sanitize tanks? How much you're using per gallon, how long you let it soak for, how you get the tank ready for fish again, that kind of thing.
I would LOVE to have somebody make a biodegradable/fish safe temporary dye to test for dead spots of water flow in my larger tanks! Maybe make a fertilizer with some dye?
There was some research that showed procrastination produces a better product because loose ends are tied in the mean time. That is if you don’t have deadlines, self imposed or otherwise.
I have two projects coming up A shell dweller tank and an Asian themed tank I’m gonna love both tanks but the Asian tank will be my favorite out of the two🌱🐠💙🔥
Mayan Butterfly Koi for the big tank: gorgeous and super interactive with people. ❤
What crypt is that in the shrimp/guppy tank? Also the moss on the back wall is awesome
YES!!! I want to see the clown loaches back! Im inspired. Nice shirt!!! Stay safe.👍😎🌞
Yea! Fishroom updates!!
I love this!!! Going back to the OG video styles. Hated the lives up in that room. It was so out of character with how you used to do things.
I think attaching plants to a big piece of driftwood or rock/faux rock is fantastic because it saves me time in upkeep sometimes. Sometimes I end up with algae or moss is getting pesty ans it is so nice to be able to just lift the whole mess out, set it on a table, address the issue and then plonk it straight back into the tank. No muss no fuss. I understand that doesn’t work for every planting style but when I am prioritizing easy keeping it works pretty well. Makes trimming plants easy too. Of course not all plants like to be glued to hardscape. You do have to pick and choose there. Still, not all your tanks need to be planted substrate. It might be worth it to do a few easy keepers.
Cory video, yay! I know it's not up for referendum but the 800 would look amazing with some Bristols and a valisneria gigantea backdrop.
Blackbeard algae are controlled by water changes. I do 50% once a week, and no less than 50% twice a month. High concentrations of Nitrates (N03) encourage blackboard algae to grow. Keep feeding to optimal levels. If one overfeeds and food is left on the bottom remove it. Maintain lighting to six hours per day. Only have tank lights on when the tank owner is around.
Altho that may be the case for your tank, I’ve had a carpet of Blackbeard algae without any nitrates whatsoever in the tank, or well no measurable levels
This is a case by case basis. Quarantine room at the store is 50% daily water changes, still gets black beard algae.
@@AquariumCoop Cory, I posted my information from sending my tap water off for analysis after developing bb, staghorn and string algae in established tanks after just a top off.
It's taken me 7 months to get it under control....
Oh, I LOVE Balloon Mollies!
Through the rocks from the floor into the bleach tank, two birds.. .
Cory i need those rocks
Please Corey, can you tell us where you got your lyretail, balloon mollies? 😃
I’ve always loved the fry food so I bought th bulk pack which I keep in the freezer. It smells so bad! And it doesn’t dispense the way the old formula did! Why is it different?
The Munsters pinball machine?? You know that thing is worth some money🔥🔥
Micro pellets sound great.
@07:58 I discovered our local water supply hasn't been properly maintained.... because my established tanks started growing algae after a water top off last year... right after a major storm.
Sent my tap water off to be analyzed, and in addition to already being hard ...
They found uranium, selenium, and ridiculously high levels of phosphates in the tap water, which "tests within industry standards" at the water treatment plant.
Pretty sure the only reason my shrimp colonies didn't crash is I no longer do water changes (I only top off) and I don't let the tanks evaporate much anymore.
It's taken me 7 months to get the algae back under control (string, blackbeard, and staghorn), mostly by hand removal and buying amano shrimp to join my P paludosus in my NANF tank.
There's debate that Amano can breed if the water is hard enough, albeit with very low viability rates.
Guess I'll find out, as I only bought 4 (2berried F + 1 male) amanos, and now appear to have 6 (3F + 3M).
Unless I got some hitchhikers on some plants?
I have yet to have java moss take over, it always dies off
Where do you get those backgrounds in your tanks??
I'm looking to get some of those purple jade rocks, does anyone know where to look?
Ok, I know I’m a day late here… but I can’t be the only one who heard “prototype heater back there”. I’m assuming this is old stock, or did I miss something? You seemed pretty adamant that you were bowing out of the heater game.
Looking good! How's your big pond doing?
Ooo I need a ryukin! My bday is coming up n wanna get a Lil baby ryukin! Man I can't use bleach cuz I'm allergic! I hear peroxide will work if I needed it?! Knock on wood just brown algea here n my otos made my tank sparkling! Thank u for the busy bees! Idk if they're eating the algea discs? Is there anything I can do to give them some food? Cuz there barely any visible brown algae now, but they do have lil bellies still.
Little off handed comments like "that will go to our brand new product" . . . . Must you drive my mind crazy with questions!? 😂🐟👍
Can we get a full update video from the new warehouse now that it's finished?
I for one would love to see the 800 gallon as a shubunkin tank
For a split second, I saw this in my feed, and I thought that Ryan Reynolds had put on a few pounds based solely on a 1-second glance at the thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣
What's that temperature display at 8:55?
Is that aquarium known as The Meg? Because it should be.
New heater?!?!👀👀👀
What are the African tetras please?
Does any one know where to buy elassoma gilberti? I want a few of these so bad! I just found out about these guys and my local store can’t get them.
@aquariumCoop
Quick question on those dosing caps. Do you plan on making them clear enough to see where the liquid is/dosing lines dark enough to see better? That's my biggest issue with the Api caps, it's extremely hard to see that the liquid is in fact at the line, also since the lines are the same color, they too are difficult to see. Just curious, I know you really try to make things better so I am hoping
I would be careful with 3d print in there unless you have the bambu lab x1c with ams or something similar. I am sure you are already aware that humidity and filament do not play well together.
Ive thought about getting back into 3d printing but im worried about the fumes the filament gives off as it prints. That it may harm my fish. Anyone have any experience?
11:44 why don't you call it magic micro pellets, and then right on the advert under the name "ultra fine pellets that behave like baby brine"
like literally the stuff you are saying about it. MAGICK MAGIC big wow! lol. i'd remember a name like that. and since you defined part of the magic right on the package, i find that super helpful!
What is the best fish to eat alage
Mr. Cory there is a brand called hikari which make a food called micro-pellets so be careful about copyright if you name it that
what happened to the puffers?
Cory gave an update on the puffers in this live stream. ~Irene ruclips.net/user/liveGRiFXTz_820?si=BnfAJDrbtRzmYDoU&t=46
How about an all glass aquarium, meaning all glass fish in it. Maybe like head and tail light tetra's, glass cats, crystal tetras, glass knifefish.
You've probably talked about it before, but why not keep the pothos in a tank?
Mostly cause I get tired of the look. The roots get so long, and after a couple years are 70% of the tank space, and you can only keep select fish with it so they don't eat on it.
@@AquariumCoop ah gotcha. Good to know :)
I get that the fish room is never where we want it, but I honestly dont understand what guys like you and DIY Joe are doing with the constant complete overhauls. Just out of curiosity, what iteration are you up to now? This is at least number 4, yes? Is it because you get bored with what you have so fast, or is it so you always have fresh new content? For the record, I am not great at wording this sort of stuff, so I don't want you to think I'm complaining or criticizing what you're doing.
I'm just genuinely curious as to why (which you have probably expalined in past videos and I just missed) you feel the need/push/desire to go through this so often.
I think it's a bit of all you have mentioned. For me as I've explained in previous videos it's mostly about time available. I have less time available for maintenance than I did 10-11 years ago when I started the channel.
These are the phases I feel I've gone through:
Fish room as a hobby
Fish room as a hobby and youtube under 50k subs
Fish room as a hobby, youtube, and importing fish for the retail store.
Fish room as youtube, importing fish to sell goldfish online as another business.
Fishroom just for youtube in the 200k-500k phase.
Fishroom at my new house, the urban fish farm. Breed my favorite fish to supply the store.
Fishroom without the urban fish farm as it prevents any traveling.
Fish room for youtube again, and product development.
Current fish room is for me. Setup a desk in my fish room, moved the 800g gallon into it. There is a corner for videos to be filmed and I'm down to 10 aquariums.
Videos about change typically get more audience to watch and people see the big changes, they don't see the 50+ other videos that year with no big changes.
That's 7 different fish room versions in 12 years. Changing it up when moving is natural. Changing some things up because you're bored is natural. Changing some things up because you've got a better idea is natural.
I think if I wasn't working on products, and didn't have to be on youtube, I'd probably have 3-4 aquariums.
@AquariumCoop I just find it fascinating. So, 7 major shifts in 12 years is pretty amazing, but this is the 3rd just since moving to the new place. That's so much work, not to mention a ton of money, although I guess I did just mention it.
I hear ya on the idea of, if not for all the outside factors, you'd only have 3 or 4 tanks, too. That's all I had for most of my life. It wasn't until the last 5 years or so that it has grown to 9 tanks and 2 hospital/quarantine tanks. There are times with that where I feel overwhelmed. I don't know how people do it when they have 20, 40... sometimes 80 ...aquariums to take care of. For me, that many tanks would suck all the enjoyment right out of the hobby.
But then, you do (at least in part) use the fish room to earn a living. My RUclips presence is far too small. I don't feel the pressure to change things up to keep an audience engaged.
Anyway, I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question. I know how extremely busy you are.
You're a good man, Cory. I don't care what Bob Steenfott says! 🤣🤣🤣
where is lady bird? I guess i missed that episode.
Cory gave an update on the puffers in this live stream. ~Irene ruclips.net/user/liveGRiFXTz_820?si=BnfAJDrbtRzmYDoU&t=46
Where is the fly river turtle
At the retail store in the 360 gallon tank.
If I was you, I'd keep the testing wall of tanks, I think you will miss them as you go forward with testing your products.
Do you ship to the uk or still a no go?
Still a no go unfortunately.
@@AquariumCoop thanks for your reply.
you need a label maker...😅
11:15 what type of cryptocoryne is this.
0:20 no more turtles?
Yep, you can hear about the update in Cory's last vlog. ~Irene ruclips.net/video/I-zntlGXPO4/видео.htmlsi=JaBl58TWSKkti53t&t=843
Come back turtles 🐢
First
Hi Cory I love your fish room / office🐟
5th!
