When I first started keeping fish, boy close to forty years ago, most aquarium stores were like this. How I miss them. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Yes, my local LFS looked like this. I think it was about 35 years ago when I got my first fish when I was about 8 years old. I think I brought it home on my BMX 🤣
This was the one and only aquarium store I visited on my visit to the west coast (I live in the netherlands) and I loved it! The owner was great and After I told him I could not buy anything he still showed me around and was a great host. Loved it!
Hi Dean. Justin has been my friend for over 25 years from when i had stores. You and Corey really help him out with the visits. He is truly appreciative. Absolutely the best people. Thanks for helping my friends.
Good on ya for bringing up the courteousness of wearing masks. I love close-ish to this store (across a bridge or two) and keep wanting to make the trip. I think I actually missed you by a couple of hours at the Academy of Sciences a couple of weeks ago!
Idk if ppl know this but being vaccinated does not mean u can’t catch or spread Covid. It helps u stay symptom free n helps u fight the sickness. But on to a lighter note great video. Those planted tanks look amazing
I think we are lucky this wasn't more like the Spanish flu ..can you imagine what the toll would have been if people had been as misinformed/confused (and behaved as poorly as some) during covid?
First time I stepped in to this store must have been 1991, yes 30 years ago! I was there all the time back then and witnessed when Ady went through her pregnancy, had the baby girl, and then in the blink of an eye the baby girl was a teenager. Also had that little dog that followed me around the store. Haven't been in the store for at least 15 years though, glad to see they're still there.
Stores like this do not exist anymore!!!!but I hope they remain open for years to come I miss old school fish shops like this, my old school lfs closed down and the fish hobby scene is Pensacola FL is basically non existent now!!!!
Anyone else just super jealous of Tazawa's silver locks? Man I wish my hair would've just started turning silver instead of thinning by my 20s..... anyways, ignore this, back to the fish! Dean has never seen sunspots?!?!?!? I can send him about a dozen in 6 months.
It's an incredibly place! Justin and Ady taught me how to set up my tanks with only a gravel substrate for better filtration, 3 1/2" in the front and 5" in the back of the tank and lots of plants. I was skeptical at first but also followed their advice of no water changes, just topping off. It works...good water quality and healthy fish! I love their lush, DIY fish tanks. This is the only place where I buy my fish, plants and supplies! They quarantine their fish. YES! I bought some of the Venezuelan cordoras!
It's been 2 years but, this video just popped back up on my feed today. Boy do I miss my almost monthly visits to Ocean Aquarium in San Francisco. Such a great shop and super nice folks, easily one of the must see shops to see in the country. I need to plan another trip there with big "Z" of Tazawa Tanks.
Thank you so very much for the time and work for this video. We have all seen some incredible fish we've never seen before now. Again thank you and to all those behind the scenes.
This is that place that has bottles of like gatorade and misc bottles upside down on the side of the tanks where the owner refills it manually everyday with a tank. Super cool. If I ever go to SF I'm totally stopping by
Dean said like a kid in a candy store. I can agree 100% . When I am in Jacksonville NC there's this store called (The Fish Cave) amazing mom & pop store been there for years. I just love places like this. Thank you so much for sharing this content 👍👍
Absolutely perfect timing. I’ve been wanting to visit this store for a few years after seeing the videos. Long long ago I was heavy into fish. I just set up a tank for the first time in about 20 years. My plan is either a shell dweller (I know they’re very difficult to get, I still know a couple people though) colony or a birchardi colony. I live 2 hours south of this store and I’m headed up Monday to get some of those birchardi!! Sitting in front of a fish less aquarium and super excited!
lmao. thats cause its very overpriced, but I like to spend a bit too to help keep them running. Rent in the middle of the city off Van Ness aint too cheap
The shop looks so run down and this is the kind of store I want to buy all my fish from. I go to a shop like this in my town. Always the best experiences
I'm in Ontario, Canada, we're in a "stay-at-home" order for 6 weeks. Then I suspect the Canada/US boarder will continue to be closed for non-essential travel. As much as I love my aquariuma hobby it's not essential. A fish tour is something to look forward to!
Hi Zenzo. Don’t know if you will see this note so long after posting this video, but I hope so. All of the tanks had a deep layer of gravel. My first thought was they all have undergravel filters, not then I realized they didn’t have the bubbler towers. The fish & plants were clearly very healthy. Did you or Dean ever learn why the gravel layers were so deep?
I love you guys together in videos! And what a fun tour. I love places like that are unique and full of visuals. The amount of plants they have make me smile too.
14:19 Aspidoras pauciradiatus - an amazing little fish. No matter if your a cory-lover or not. Get them when you see them, you will never regret it :-)
holy crap when you started going through the nano tanks and I noticed they were just on L brackets... my jaw dropped. I can't believe they are holding that well. Great video as always
Super cool place to visit. I loved it and picked up more fish. Make sure you tell him you're a fish nerd so he talks to you like one. If you don't he'll assume you're a tourist. Love Justin and his wife. I went last week and I'm going again next month when I stop in San Fran
I want to try deep gravel substrate with no filter. 6 gallon cube with 4 inch substrate might work. Of couse, I'll monitor the water parameter regularly for awhile until I feel safe.
Awesome video, appreciate the sharing...I live in michigan and we have alot of LFS still around and thriving. . I agree with you people should respect each other more and be more mindful of just being polite.
I love this video. I hope this is not a duplicate post. My power blipped for 5 seconds and my computer went down so I will try to recreate my original comment. This video looks like the TV show "Hoarders" went to a fish keeper's house, but I love it. So much product in their space is amazing. Talking old school Dean, my first tank when I was 12 years old was a metal frame 10 gallon just like you remember. More old school, I use Lee's Premium under gravel filters in all my tanks as a supplement to my Aqua Clear HOB's. One of my LFS's has been in business for over 30 years and they run UGF's in all their tanks. We talk about putting oxygen in our tanks with airstones and moving water. Why not draw that water through 97 bazillion bacteria living in the gravel? High Tech/New Tech always tries to get us to spend more money. Is the I-Phone 475 really that much better than the I-Phone 474 that I need to spend $1,500 to $2,000 to upgrade?? If so, why did you talk me into the I-Phone 474 6 months ago when now you are saying it is junk and I need to upgrade. OK, an exaggeration on version number, but I think you get the point that there is not that much of a difference. It has been built by big corporate as a status symbol. I-Phone 135 in my example still gives you all you want lol. GREAT video guys...my next trip to SF takes me to that LFS. A truly great vendor supporting the hobby.
my angelfish shits are white in color ..can you please advise me what to do because od doesnt eat at all and her poop is white and hanging ...can you please also tell me what are the causea of that ?
Looks like a great lfs this is what my lfs is like tanks on tanks it's only about the size of a master bedroom everything is jammed in lol nice video n share 👍

Dean needs his own show where he just overhauls fish rooms/stores🤣
He NEEDS his own RUclips CHANNEL 👍👌😎
Dean doesn't need much. We need so much more. Dean's Cookin & Fish'n. Teach me cooking and breeding!
@Andrew Members only L🥵L

Fish stores are like Chinese food restaurants. The least flashiest store is the best store
Bro said “food restaurants”
@@connorarmas he eat good at the ODB Dirty Chinese Food restaurant I seent it
This is my favourite store people could learn from this couple
Idk if ppl know this but being vaccinated does not mean u can’t catch or spread Covid. It helps u stay symptom free n helps u fight the sickness. But on to a lighter note great video. Those planted tanks look amazing
symptom reliever, not a vaccine, by their own literature.
although modrna calls theirs an operating system, their words not mine.
I think we are lucky this wasn't more like the Spanish flu ..can you imagine what the toll would have been if people had been as misinformed/confused (and behaved as poorly as some) during covid?

There is still one
I've visited this store recently. I just wouldn't bring up opposing ideas if I ever go back
Anyone else just super jealous of Tazawa's silver locks? Man I wish my hair would've just started turning silver instead of thinning by my 20s..... anyways, ignore this, back to the fish!

His bettas are so lively
this reminds me of old school fish store in Asia. SE Asia to be exact. Definitely will come visit next time I go to SF. Thanks for the video! Subbed
the owner is from burma so checks out

Such a legendary Shop haha almost looks like another world
After an eleven hour shift this video really hit the spot. Two really knowledgeable fish keepers in a super cool store, it doesn’t get any better.
Thank you so very much for the time and work for this video. We have all seen some incredible fish we've never seen before now. Again thank you and to all those behind the scenes.

A very commendable approach to safety and your community Zenzo, keep up the good work 💪
This has got to be one of my favorite videos I've seen in a long time. Such great energy....Thank you for sharing this majestic place with us.
When a fish shop has proper tanks and planted tanks you know they and their customers care deeply about their animals
Woooooo Hooooo we get to go to oceans aquarium with Dean and Zenzo❤️ What a way to start the day!!
Thank you for bringing us along!!🙏🌿🤗🌿💚
This store is a hot mess, but boy do those fish look healthy!! Nice video
He always comes back to this place.
LOVE...IT...! 5:17 when Dean says, "Sometimes old school can be a lot more fun." Word. 😆
Dean said like a kid in a candy store. I can agree 100% . When I am in Jacksonville NC there's this store called (The Fish Cave) amazing mom & pop store been there for years. I just love places like this. Thank you so much for sharing this content 👍👍
I would love to buy my fish here and to get lost in the store for hours just watching the tanks
I've seen this video many times and i never got tired...your audio is fine bro...great video
Thank you for providing a great example of respect for the mask issue that shouldn't be an issue.
Absolutely perfect timing. I’ve been wanting to visit this store for a few years after seeing the videos. Long long ago I was heavy into fish.

I live a few hours north of the bay. I drop $ 500 every time I stop by that store.
lmao. thats cause its very overpriced, but I like to spend a bit too to help keep them running. Rent in the middle of the city off Van Ness aint too cheap
Thanks so much for being a great respectful fish keeper 👍🏽
"I use 'stuff' loosely"
Perfect application for it.
I am in love with this store, life!!!
The shop looks so run down and this is the kind of store I want to buy all my fish from. I go to a shop like this in my town. Always the best experiences
Deen and Zenzo twining the co-op sweaters
They be drippin'
Who else is planning an aquarium store tour when this pandemic is over? ❤️🐠

That fish store has a such nice aura about it
Ah this is the place Cory did a tour of! Amazing that they do no water changes! From the UK 😊❤️
Magical
Fish store
Very enjoyable video
Blessings

California
I visited this store in 2019 I was so impressed. Every tank is planted and they all look amazing
We used under gravel filters when I was a kid in the 80’s in our meta frame tank!
Very nice old store. Very nice video. Beautiful. Thanks.
That was so much fun. I love seeing how excited you both are.
Awesome fish store tour! It reminded me a little of some of the stores that Ryo Watanabe has toured. Thanks for bringing this to us. Stay safe!
I love you guys together in videos! And what a fun tour. I love places like that are unique and full of visuals. The amount of plants they have make me smile too.
Give me snacks plus a bathroom and I could quarantine in this store happily for weeks!
I cannot believe I still haven’t been to Ocean Aquarium. Time for a road trip soon! Thanks Zenzo and Dean, fun video! 👍
A cool store with A lot of gear and Fish. Thanks for the tour Zenzo
What a unique place old dated a health and safety nightmare but a treasure chest of fishy goodness
periods and commas my boy, periods and commas.
14:19 Aspidoras pauciradiatus - an amazing little fish. No matter if your a cory-lover or not. Get them when you see them, you will never regret it :-)
holy crap when you started going through the nano tanks and I noticed they were just on L brackets... my jaw dropped. I can't believe they are holding that well. Great video as always
When my partner and I were finally fully vaccinated, we masked up and half lived in our LFS for a while. Such a great place!!
Looks like the kind of place that you might possibly be able to purchase a Mogwai.
Love the old school. I still run under gravel filters. To all you youngsters they rally work well. Thanks for the fun tour
Beautiful looking tanks! Thank you for this wonderful video!
I love this place!! I wish Justin and Ady would adopt me as their adult child haha
Super cool place to visit. I loved it and picked up more fish. Make sure you tell him you're a fish nerd so he talks to you like one. If you don't he'll assume you're a tourist.
Love Justin and his wife. I went last week and I'm going again next month when I stop in San Fran
I'm so glad to see organized chaos fish store....for real people
I purchased 4 of master Justin’s butterfly orandas last year. I will visit him soon. Thank you for this content.
The adventures of dean continues!!!
I love the tour of this store that I have ever seen. If I ever get to San Francisco, this is the only fish store I absolutely HAVE to visit!
👍💓👍
How have i never thought about using a bottle + airline + sponge to create a sponge filter! Genius!
I could spend hours searching through tanks there, but the place looks like a fire hazard waiting to go up.
I could watch these videos all day and sometimes I do!
why do they put a tape border on the tanks?
Haven’t been able to make it out here in a bit and I was worried there where closed. Super happy to see them still open!
I love that shop!! It’s so amazing
I want to try deep gravel substrate with no filter. 6 gallon cube with 4 inch substrate might work. Of couse, I'll monitor the water parameter regularly for awhile until I feel safe.
I'd never leave! I'd love to have a store like this! this is inspiring my next tank set up!
Haven't been to SF in awhile. Is Aqua Forest Aquarium still open down there? I loved that place when I was there a few years ago.
Yes, Aqua Forest is still around.
It's like a aquarium warehouse.
New sub. Love you videos. Love Dean. Thank you for sharing! - Little Bobby
Awesome video, appreciate the sharing...I live in michigan and we have alot of LFS still around and thriving. . I agree with you people should respect each other more and be more mindful of just being polite.
Nice tour there super nice shop cheers :D friend
Nice dope video 👌i miss that store so much☹️☹️☹️
Brillianteeee! And inspirational!! ❤️❤️

Reminds me of one of my favourite LFS in Sydney Australia
Great tour of that store. Hoping you are going to visit Aqua Forest as well! 🤙
AAAAA - I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! I graduated from the SF culinary academy which was a couple of blocks over
neat store! is this one of the shops that does little to no water changes?
Yes! Pretty cool huh?
Rocking the Grey hair looks good brother...
Aquarium fish Depot in San Diego is the bomb
gotta love mom and pop small aquaroum stores they vram as much as they can and still take good care of the fish' compared to bix box fish stores'
In case anyone is curious about the nano tanks with curved corners: 14:47 marineland portrait 5gal, 14:56 marineland contour 3gal
my angelfish shits are white in color
..can you please advise me what to do because od doesnt eat at all and her poop is white and hanging ...can you please also tell me what are the causea of that ?
I went to this store last month and I have to say it was a cool little spot
That store was so fun I’ve been there! I really wanted some shellies from the first tank when you walk in 😢
Looks like a great lfs this is what my lfs is like tanks on tanks it's only about the size of a master bedroom everything is jammed in lol nice video n share 👍
Cool store, wouldn't want to pay this guys electric bill 🤣
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Dean - The Masker Breeder
those i think are brevis sunspot ikola
Someone needs to find out how much fertilizer he doses in the tanks, or are they not dosed at all
