I want to make it very clear… there are many animals in the initial fish stores which are in horrible conditions. My job when doing these tours is to not judge or call people out or businesses, rather but show you guys and all conclude together how we feel. These businesses are old and have not completely advanced in the way they should for various cultural and social reasons. Please be open minded and kind with your comments. Absolutely feel free to comment your thoughts, opinions, and feelings. Just please be respectful. Thanks!!!
Thank you. Much respect. The documentaries about petsmart have been very very bad! The breeding animals suffer terribly.. my goal would be to help buy what I need and what's available before I start demanding from places!
- Thank you for that ! 😊❤
Extraordinary
You should go to Cambodia
Due to the activation of online stores, the pet area of Cheonggyecheon has declined. The area has been reduced by 1/3, and if you want to understand the Korean ornamental fish or reptile market, it is recommended to visit the expo as it is active.
Hey, native Korean here! Surprised and happy to see you in Korea George!
The initial pet stores located in Cheonggyecheon are relatively good with aquatic animals,
but when it comes to other animals such as birds and rodents most stores don't provide the best quality for them especially with elderly owners.
Trust me it was way worse back then when they had cages full of cats and dogs.
You can think it like this:
Cheonggyecheon specializes in aquariums and the other pets such as the birds and rodents are like side jobs they do to attract in more kids who relatively prefer "touchable" pets.
It has been criticized in Korea for a long time and because of that a lot of pet stores there have been shutting down and we're still in the progress of making better conditions for these animals.
I hope you guys know that most Koreans (at least the younger generation) never even think about going to Cheonggyecheon to get pets because we know the poor conditions.
In the early days about 20~40 years ago when regulations against animals were less strict, there were all kinds of exotic animals in Cheonggyecheon through illegal trade.
We even had alligators lmao that's why we had urban legends that you could even get dolphins if you really wanted in Cheonggyecheon.
However! As the interest for aquarium hobby and exotic animals in Korea is going up, we have a lot of young breeders and shop owners (especially reptiles) who are really passionate with what they are doing. Recent breeders and shops maintain good environment for the animals and they always try to study for more informations and better ways to improve.
Because the market is still relatively small and obviously we're not an English speaking country, so the information we can get is very limited.
That might be the reason why the workers looked confused or uninterested cause Koreans are mostly not fluent in English,
but I bet they searched about the event more thoroughly after you left😂
+the supposed 'Korean' store sign is...definitely not Korean lmao. I think that's an AI generated image cause those are not even proper chinese character
Where would be a good place to browser for aquairum or even look at Aquascaping scene in Seoul?
@@metatwo Unfortunately, due to high land prices in Seoul, it’s hard to find convenient and easy stores for buying fish in the city. One of the best places for viewing freshwater fish is a place called Aqua Garden. However, each person must order at least one menu item, typically coffee. Most of the good aquariums are located outside of Seoul, and many of them operate online.
thank you for this comment
@@narusliver6693thank you for this. I think that Aqua One shop is the one at Lotte World?
Those good aquarium shop, if it is only online, does that mean we can’t view them?
How about local shops that sell aquarium products?
@@metatwo Of course you can see anything inside the aquarium. Aqua Garden is located near Jamsil Station, and it’s separate from Lotte World. If you order just one coffee per person, you can stay inside and enjoy the view as long as you like. In Korea, the delivery system is so advanced that products are often delivered at the lowest price within a day, so most shops focus on online sales. Offline stores can be more expensive, so I don’t recommend them as much.
The conditions that these birds are kept in is absolutely heartbreaking
동감해요, 아직 한국에서 야만적인 모습이 많이 남아 있는 거리입니다.
Well if you think about it. Aquariums stocking more than 1 fish in a 3 by 2 ft tank is also extremely uncomfortable for them. You gotta understand pet stores are limited in space and the animals there are not there to stay forever. They will get to live in a much bigger space where they end up.
its for temporary holding the animals they would have to spend wayyy more money to house them.
Not just the birds, literally all the animals Asia doesn’t have that good animal rights, they put betas together and had dyed fish
@@thehex9959 not always, petshops all over the world tend to sell tiny cages/enclosures/aquariums, and will even recommend them to buyers, even though they're terrible for housing animals. above the guinnea pigs (at around 3 mins in) there's some "hamstercages", that should really only be used for transportation, never for a hamster to live in
3:22 The golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus), also known as the Chinese pheasant, and rainbow pheasant.
Red golden pheasant and golden pheasant
My aunt has two here in the states, idk if they’re illegal to own but she def does. They were gifted to her because she owns a bunch of chickens lol
The golden pheasant, also known as the Chinese or rainbow pheasant, is such a stunning bird! What makes this species so unique and colorful? How do they typically live in the wild, and are they often kept in captivity? What efforts are being made to preserve their natural habitat?
I have gold pheasants
10 years ago, you could easily buy crocodiles, eagles, or even wolves in the area where that pet shop is located.
And there's a legend that dolphins could have been purchased 20 years ago.
In 1980, there was a rumor that you could build a mortar by walking around the mall right next to the street where that pet shop is, and that was probably the truth...
Wow, what's the street's name?
@@loopwoop its called Cheonggyecheon stream. Now that modernization has progressed a lot, we can only see the traces of the past, but the old Cheonggyecheon Stream remains a legend to Koreans...
The metal that was used to produce guns for the first time in Korea also came from a junk shop in this area!
What's a mortar? Besides a firework? Or an explosive?
@@AA-zv6yo What do you mean by mortar? You know the little cannon that soldiers carry.
George always falls of the face of the earth for months, then respawns in a crazy place 😅😂
next hes gonna be in north korea
Its my first time watching one of georges video but i love how hes respectful to everyone in korea and doesnt act uncomfortable or awkward around the people who obviously have different culture and take things in differently. He also includes facts about the country and its so nice and respectful. what a guy
Bird nerd here 👋 that was a Golden Pheasant. Although they are native to parts of China, they have been introduced to various places including the UK and Hawaii where they are now pretty hard to find and really elusive.
I screamed so many times watching this video, all the unusual pets I mean.. the red frog, the blue and yellow tiny lizards, the gecko.. wow
I appreciate the fish pet store tour videos, thanks, however the birds could be housed better. That was a golden pheasant in the beggining
I enjoyed the fish pet store tour videos, thanks for sharing! However, it’s concerning that the birds could be housed better. That golden pheasant at the beginning was beautiful. Are there any plans to improve the living conditions for the birds? What steps could be taken to ensure they’re well cared for?
at 3:22, that's a golden pheasant. gorgeous birds!
3:27 damn I was about to say that but I guess you beat me to it 😅
I kinda feel bad that you are taking up the workers’ time and constantly asking about prices but not really buying anything.
bro that's their job
As someone who’s worked in pet stores I think your comment is quite silly. Even normal people asking is fine as long as they are nice but a RUclipsr? Yeah of course I’ll answer every question no problem for sure even if I don’t know who they are cause that is my job
Yeah I don’t mind it at all. Although I prefer to not have much contact, I much prefer answering questions about price than dealing with an angry customer that can’t be pleased and won’t go away.
A popular RUclipsr giving their businesses exposure? Yeah I’m sure they don’t mind answering questions about prices lol
Also how would he buy and bring it back to the us especially when there are so many laws involved bringing over animals????
I've been to every shop in the video except the last one.but for me ,피셔맨브라더스 is my favorite fresh water pet fish store! (The fish variety is the best ) . A lot good shops moved out from the first area in the video.
Location please
with the cow fish, my head literally was like „oh, hi cheese“
thank you Taylor 🫠😂
RIP Cheese
rip
I grew up going to this area while living in Korea, this brings back so many memories! thank you!
looks like i have to go to korea now
The shop with the old school racks also have lighting that takes me back to when good petstores were in malls etc.
That frog enclosure was truly beautiful! Love how that place treated the reptiles felt the most humane.
Unfortunately, you missed some of most important places like ‘Sang Aqua’ in Gimpo, a biggest freshwater fish shop in Korea and ‘Aquagargen’, very big and awesome aquascaped cafe in the city.
Hey I just saw myself at 1:40 that was unexpected 😂
It’s so sad to see the conditions that some of these animals have to endure 😢
They’re lucky we ain’t eaten em 😏, we gave them a home. A forever home 😐
😢😢
Pheasant gold and red
Exactly!
Hey George, long time no see! Happy you are back, know you've been a busy guy, love to see you exploring different species and of course all the beautiful salt and freshwater critters. Thanks for the update, take care and see you soon!🐠🐡🐢❤️👍
Dawn seeing those massive fish cooped up like that is sad
George comes back to Indonesia to visit Jatinegara market. You can see protected animals for sale and there you can buy ornamental fish at 3pm. 24hours market
Is that the MrBallen intro music at 7:00? 😂
Lol yes it is lol
Absolutely
The chicken/parrot is a golden pheasant 👍
so the all colorful bird at 3:28 is a rainbow fesint
The bird that you thought was half parrot /half chicken is a Golden Pheasant also known as the Chinese pheasant, beautiful bird
I did salt water once. Was one of the 1st nano (⁹⁰l) tanks the shop had in with in built sump ect. Loved watching it grow. Unfortunately we got a crab as a hitchhicker. I didnt know untill at 1st corals qould disappear, i thought it was the fish, or from when we had a power cut.
Eventually at night i caught it earing a turbo snail.
Eventually everything was eaten apart from him. I gave the tank up the crab wrnt to the fish store and i never touched salf water again.
What are u talking about.. what ate what?
Cool tour! What a variety of critters and tanks!
- I want all of that epic coral 🪸 😎.
In korean it's called Bidaningeo 비단잉어 pronounced bee-don ing-eo not koi
Bidoningeo 비단잉어
Finally some fish content!!🎉🎉
3:29 The bird is a Golden Pheasant. They are native to forests in mountainous areas of western China and some in Korea, but they have also been introduced to other regions, including parts of Europe and the Americas.
Finally a new video🎉🎉
Bro in Korea you have to visit AQUA GARDEN shop in the Living Center dpt store near Suwon.
오호 한국 오셨구나 유튜브 잘 보고있습니다 청계천인가요??
서울인 것 같아요.
청계천 맞음ㅇㅇ
You can catch snakehead fish in Thailand for free and or buy from the market for like 2-3 dollars.
If your still there you need to check out Aqua Garden in Lotte Tower
Lol the background music around 7 mins reminds me of the background music Mr Ballen uses in his intro.
You have a Rainbow Pheasant. If taken care of properly, they make excellent companions. Always get a pair vs just one.
Due to the activation of online stores, the pet area of Cheonggyecheon has declined. The area has been reduced by 1/3, and if you want to understand the Korean ornamental fish or reptile market, it is recommended to visit the expo as it is active.
George you should go to Manila Philippines try out cartimar pet market and animall where they sell really expensive super red arowanas not to mention goldfish and koi farms around the country
The tiny colorful frogs are not tree frogs. They are dart frogs and come in a lot of different varieties.
Come on, friends, visit the Parung market in Jakarta, Indonesia, there are lots of ornamental fish
The platinum angels defo have my heart, how beautiful!
The funny chicken is a golden pheasant.
My idol I have copd 30 years old and thanks to gorge I get to see the world of corals
So funny, you thought the golden pheasant was something crossed with a chicken!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So many beautiful animals. Loving the video. :)
Welcome back!!
Crazy sweet. I would say more than half of the fish I saw you can find in American big box retail stores. The fact they had other animals too was crazy. The rest of fish are unique and I want some
- 3:20 Golden pheasant 😊❤
Wow, neve knew snakeheads had such intelligent looking eyes and faces
I just searched his channel yesterday i thought why he wasn't uploading now today he is. IRONIC
Love this video. Thanks for taking us around the world 🌎
Amazing videooooo! Thank u for the tour
I would’ve go there, only to see this beautiful shops!!!! Loved every moment of your video 👍🏻🇬🇧
Γεια σου Γιώργο! Καλησπέρα από την Ελλάδα! Keep the good work! Enjoying your videos!💙🇬🇷
Really enjoy your videos bro i like how show the prices of the fishes 👌 👌
The fish are really good and extraordinary.. greetings from fellow goldfish breeders in Indonesia
I spoke to your mom for a good 20 minutes at aquashella and I had no idea about your youtube yet, although she tried to tell me lol! She was awesome!
birds in 10gal tanks is diabolical fr
How've you been it's been months I was worried
That would be so cool if the last store ended up coming to Aquashella in the future!
that green tree flrog is one hella super crazy cool leaper
They have birds in a fish tank? That's cruel af
you should visit VIETNAM market places sometime, there are a diversity type of fish here
Having traveled a lot of the world - I personally found it clear people have very different 'standards' re animals and even food. We are NOT all the same! xx
Baby channa in indonesia only 1$-5$💀
10:13 free ad skip
I live like 10 minutes from here. funny seeing you here lol. hope u liked it
You have to go to Indonesia, because there are lots of amazing fish shops there
3:25 it’s a golden pheasant
The shop aquaforest has like few million dollar inventory in stock. Fascinating for a pet shop.
Where was i when this was shot.. Wooooow!!!! 😎
7:30 You can get japanese tokay geckos for free. I caught a breeding pair in Miami, FL about 15 years ago. Pet stores sold them for $10 to $40. You can get color morphs like albinos and pies for around $150.
Amazing clear Water in Most of the Tanks, but i feel so sorry for the birds 😢 but in Germany you can get the L46 Zebra for 50-60€ in 3cm and the L236 super white for 30-50€ in 3cm.
Good to hear from you George! 😀
وااااو. المحل روعه عجيب 💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼
the toki gecko here in the Philippines, you can find it in our houses bro you could even get it for free
You have to come to Indonesia, the home of the Super Red Arowana.
3:21 its a golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus)
Thinking there are two types, the Asian
Red and the Gold pheasants.
These colorful frogs are mostly poison dart frogs (Phyllobates, Dendrobates, Epidobates...). Fairly easy to find in the US as they are captive bred, and cheaper too!
Definitely keep tree frogs, I reckon you could do them justice!
The bird you didnt know is a golden pheasant. In Europe we have the less colorfull version.
Some parts of Asia ::: We eat snakehead fishs 10 days a month 🤣🤣🤣
Eben though modern expensive ones are good, these old places are quite nice.
Bro where u been 😢😢 posting after long time ….
Anyways good to see u back
Love from Pakistan ❤️
BTW this video is awesome! Thank you
Amazing tour, thank you.
Greta video, George. Thanks!
I've been doing a deep dive into Korean religion & philosophy this Summer for a course I teach.
Now that I know that there's a fish street (There's on in Hong Kong, too; future video??), I need to go to Seoul!
The brid like a colourful turkey it's called a pheasant.. ❤
That's a golden pheasant brother ❤
That red and white tree frog has got to be a new species
It is named...Anthony's Poison Dart Frog.. it says this frog has green bones.
6:40 AnthonyPoisonDartFrog
The dart frog prices blow my mind. 107 usd for 1 frog 😭, I was at a reptile show a couple months ago and there were a lot of dart frog breeders selling singles for like 35-45 usd. I think 65 was the most I saw and they had probably 5-6 different color combinations
대박!!! 한국에 방문 하신걸 환영합니다
The fish are very well kept, but the birds are in such small cages :(
and the giny pigs
favorite tank: The planted jar with vaporeon
