Plss🙌... what kind of camera did you use for this footage? Super interesting material and what a nice gentleman. I'm subscribing ✌️
Hello aquarium co-op. Just wanted to say that I think you're a really nice geat. Great videos!
whats the name of the tree plant that he cooked with the fish?
typoretum
kyporetum
I know these folks were hit with a hurricane not so long ago almost destroyed everything, i know they prolly could use some love from the community
This guy hands down has the best farm ever. Everything all natural. My dream life. I wish he would work more on his website. Those sky-blue peacocks are absolutely beautiful. I could only dream of having something like that. Would be cool to see an update video with another visit.
The internet can feel so saturated with relative newcomers, untested advice, and extreme hobbyists who emphasize perfection and expensive setups; these kinds of spotlights on people who have decades of experience (and sometimes whose livelihood depends on fishkeeping) are so refreshing.
Well said!
Regurgitated beliefs turned dogma
Agreed!
Very well said..
Agreed I’m just finding this video and I’m hooked on everything he’s sayin because this place is just so impressive. I love learning how big operations handle everything because to an outsider it seems impossible.
He looks like a Luke Skywalker who, after retiring from being a Jedi, farmed fish.
imo i would rather have seen that lol
Jotto999 🤣
This comment deserves so many more likes
Use the fish, Luke.
@STL Fila Blame cyclical economic cycles. In 5 more years, its going to be the smurfs again. -.-
I kind of want this dude to win the lotto just so he can mess around with fish all the time and not worry about things. I am for sure going to keep an eye out for fish they sell.
I love how he knows the scientific name for so many organisms, but has to stop and think about the common name. For me this really communicates that he's put a lot of time into research and thinking about the organisms.
Yeah noticed that too. Super!
Common names sometimes apply to multiple organisms. Scientific names are more precise.
This is a jaw-dropping facility. Thanks for letting us come along!
I never have the interest or patience to pick and watch anything above 20 minutes or pull up a random movie, but for some strange reason, I always watch the long Aquarium Co-op videos with no hesitation.
i would be at peace doing this for a living. what an incredible oasis they have created! Thank you and jimmy so much for sharing and to Goliad for setting an amazing standard and example.
Would love to convert a portion of my backyard to this. Just to come home from work and sit along ide the plant life and water habitats would be super relaxing.
After hearing the cost breakdown for filming this tour, I really appreciate and respect all you do for the hobby, which is truly tremendous in so many, many different ways. You are a special person. Thanks.
Thank you. We obviously make income from RUclips but we never know which videos will produce the income. These types of videos are very costly to make with plane tickets, hotel, rental cars etc. However I think it is an important part of what we do. Making sure we search the earth to learn what’s out there. I genuinely try to reinvest the profits from the business back into the programming here. It’s nice when it pays off, also hurts when it doesn’t. However, it’s always a fun time for me at these places for me personally.
Aquarium Co-Op what camera are you filming with? The quality is amazing
@@AquariumCoop it's awesome, I'll be sure to let the ads run, I appreciate it 👍
This is the type of fish keeping that I always geek out about! Love that it's run as one big ecosystem!
So true I'm jealous beyond words
Courtz courtz if I lived in a warmer climate, I would set something like this up in a heartbeat!
It's a dream to have.. Not just an aquarium but an ecosystem.. Now that's just perfect... Cheers brother/sister... Scotland
Aquaponics. I want to do it so badly but I’m in northern Pennsylvania and they would never survive outside of about 4 months a year. And if I try to do it with local fish I couldn’t keep it cold enough in the summer.
The plants filter the water and the fish waste fertilizes the plants. People raise fish they eat and grow tomatoes and strawberries and other plants.
Growing up in rural Australia and then "escaping" to the city I've slowly realised this is what I really want.
Now I have a partner studying chemistry while I study aquaculture and the plan is finish the degrees and go back rural where property is cheap and set ourselves up as sustainable as possible.
Thank you for showing us what is possible!
Sounds cool but I have to ask, why go to university for that? Just get out and learn!
@@masonfern7387 access.
With a degree we gain access to a much larger variety of resources and data.
William Harris Have fun! Could always document the journey on RUclips
@@masonfern7387 We're planning on doing it for us and if we feel comfortable we might upload some of it.
My partner is quite private but I will probably at least keep the Instagram going of just our fish keeping as we go along.
I'm 29 and have somehow managed to never really take photos so it is fun trying to figure out these things.
A greenhouse fish facility that creates its own natural fog? That’s totally beyond amazing!
This guy could teach a class in a university.
This guy should teach a class in a university.*
This guy probably doesn't want to teach a class in a university
I think what he's got going on is way more fun and cool, and he's his own boss and probably makes alot more moolah than a crusty old proffesor. I'm shopping on the site right now 🤣
No this guy should start his own university!
He actually has a # of publications in field of fishkeeping, & has his own monthly column w/ "Aquarium Magazine" specifically focused on his faves which are livebearers/& if recall cichlids too.....The interviewee talking bout', not interviewer. Guy knows his stuff fish peoples.
Corey please keep making this kind of content, my jaw dropped multiple times watching this. Seems like an awesome guy with a mind blowing facility. You're doing the lords work my friend!
Living the dream! its a Fish garden of Eden love it!
Can’t wait to watch this later. The owner gave a talk at my local club a few months back, I love how he does things.
The BEST fish farm I've ever seen. SO COOL!
I didn't see a single fish; just barrels of running water...
This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen! Love the plants and the water on the floor. And the snake and the dog. And the mist!
You know what Cory, you are absolutely right, i have never seen this before.
Thank you for sharing.
Me and my wife sat down on our babysitter night and watched this from front to back. We just started keeping fish last month! Thank you so much for NO ADS. And thank you Goliad. His heart and his mission are very inspiring . God bless him!!
I would totally watch a part 2. Awesome place!
The fish, the flooring the mangrooves, it all awed me :) what an amazing littel paradise, regards Shae!
Think i watchet this 6 times atleast now :P
One of the best video on the hobby that I’ve seen in a long time. Well done to everyone involved.
That was amazing! I love the use of all of the plants. That sump/pond is amazing too! Now I need to go downstairs and feed my African cichlids again!
Stop feeding them!
Wow that’s an awesome farm! Thanks for the in-depth tour video Cory! Its nice to see how different places farm fish
If things line up, I’ll film a different farm this weekend
@@AquariumCoop VERY interested!
“She doesn’t let me pick them up with my hands anymore”. I love this guy!!!!
Just seeing this now... It is a dream of mine to open a fish store and work closely with a fish farm like this one! This is beyond beautiful, creating an ecosystem that keeps itself clean and balanced.
My kinda dream farm. Mind blown with the simplicity of this farm and the ecological centric synergy. Charles is a legend!
I love that he has no problem with the snakes in the green house. Very cool!
Yes, there are a few different types. I’m not a snake guy myself but these snakes were pretty low key
This is one of your best vids you both are very natural and interesting.Thank you from the black country England.
.... I just learned in my Oceanography class today that the ocean pH is lower at the surface because calcium carbonate and such precipitate out, unlike at the bottom of the ocean, which has tons of shell material increasing the pH. Funny that I'm watching this video and hear him say that.
This is just amazing. Eutopia comes to mind. I love how they use the entire space , even the floor is functional. Thank you so much for sharing your visit with us.
I love how he just casually pulled some live fish out of the barrel and fed his dogs!
It was a dead fish to the best of my knowledge.
@@AquariumCoop I thought they were dead too... my daughter (a massive lover of both fish and dogs) freaked out a bit.🤣
Love how you guys captured his story of his evolution in fish keeping
What a great video, I love watching videos such as these fish farms that are not widely advertised on RUclips.
I can tell Cory is super excited to be there. Like a kid in a candy store.
For sure. Took me 7 years to finally get there.
Complete circle. What a gentle soul. Nice to see this incredible keeper and what he has achieved
My first tub last year, I did something similar. Just snow/rain water, leaves, sticks etc. from the winter filled it. I added Water Sprite, two pair of Swordtails, two pair of Platies. I got hundreds of each fish type fish out in a few months. No aeration, no filter (except the plants) and no water added other than when it rained. The tub would fill and often overflow. Starting the same tannin water filled tub, this weekend. Great vid Cory. Thanks.
Did you have any issues with swords and platy’s inter breeding? Maybe I’ve been fed misinformation for years but I thought that was an issue with keeping them together.
Yes and no @@joshuawick3187 To my knowledge, I have not had them interbreed. That being said, I keep both together in numbers, so the 'need' to cross over isn't there. I know Guppies and Mollies (which I also have in the tank) can be an issue, and produce sterile hybrids. All the fish I added today have grown out in a ten gallon tank since last October, when their outside tub came down. Tons of fry on the way, so eager to move some along and begin a color and fin formation breeding project in one Swordtail. Thanks for the question and for watching!
Do u have video of it?
I've read this guy's articles. So cool that you have him on video. What a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for helping to pass the torch to the rest of us!
This is inspirational stuff. Really challenged a lot of what I thought I knew about how you 'had' to farm and keep fish. Thanks for the amazing commitment to bring such excellent content.
This guy is a legend. And with that dog in all the shots,,, just like I am Legend. 😁. This place is unbelievable.
The dogs, Oso and Maya, enjoy the greenhouses, especially any losses.
He doesn't kill ANYTHING! I love it :) Thanks Aquarium Coop for bringing this to us.
Well he did feed 2 fish to his dogs lol
@@codyscards6698 and a snake
Corey thank you for this video. I have purchased fish from Charles Clappsaddle before and they were some of the best Sailfin Mollies ever! This video means a lot to me. I lived in Houston for a short while but never had the chance to drive down and visit Goliad Farms. Thanks to you I just had my chance. Keep it going Corey.
RUclipss approach to highlighting past videos that are well done and were moderately successful during COVID-19 is brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed this recommended video!!!!!!!!
Let's get this video viraling out of control
I really hope people watch it in full and share it. I think it’s important for this to inspire the next generation of fish farmers.
@@AquariumCoop doing something like this (on a smaller scale) would be nice a retirement plan ...
Aquarium Co-Op as someone who is new to the hobby and is on the younger side, i really appreciate what you do to educate and show us behind the scenes.
Watched it All ofc
Awesome video. One of my favorites from you by far.
AMAZING VIDEO CORY ,WORTHY OF BEING ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL ,THAT MAN REALLY KNOWS HIS STUFF 👍🏼
I live in Central Texas so this peaked my interest, upon looking the place is temporarily closed down because the texas winter and they have lost alot of fish. I will be making my way out there so support this guy and check this beautiful place out
Also I love how his dogs follow him around, peaking curiously in the tanks and gobbling up unattended fish food😂 And stopping for a quick drink right out of the tanks to wash it down.
I wish we could have gotten a good look at those blue OB peacocks!
What a cool dog. The fish are cool too but that dog has a lot of character.
This guy is a legend! Those German Shepherds are awesome too!
What an operation! His breeding methods are amazing. If I had the space and money I would love to recreate something like this, it looks so natural to have the fish in ponds.
It’s so devastating combing from finishing him after his recovery from the Texas storm series then seeing this in recommended watching and seeing how beautiful and how much of his soul he poured into this
If you get some fresh green willow branches, strip off the bark and soak it in water you get an awesome root stimulant. The root hormones are most concentrated in spring.
Awesome facility! Love the natural approach.
Or get roofing compound. It works better
22:57 hes explaining why he does not use the pumps anymore, " I was in the water......." yet he doesn't finish his story hahah!! I was sooooooo curious as to what happened lol! Did he get shocked, did he get injured from the pump???? Just killing me not knowing the reason LOL!!!
Yeah.. I want to know that as well.
Well in a way it's more natural like this. Which stream ever starts out with undercurrent beams? Must be a really small number globally. Also, partly he answers it by explaining he doesn't oxygenate anymore, because when the water goes in like this, there's more than enough oxygenation going on.
You don't get the end of most of what he's saying cuz the other dude INTERRUPTS constantly. Very annoying!
To clarify, we do use pumps, but not submersible pumps now. The whole story? I was in the water catching fish to move from the hurricance destroyed greenhouse into its replacement. Two employees were outside the water. They complained about being shocked with they put metal handled nets in the water. I scoffed, but when I touch the ground outside the water I got a 120 volt 60 cycle shock. I kicked back into the wate and had them turn off the pumps so I could get out. If I ever use submersible pumps again, I'll install GFIs to prevent shocks.
@@Meowbay We originally used air blowers for aeration but found it wasn't necessary since the water flow provided more than adequate aeration.
It is amazing this place exists! This is incredible! I would watch an entire documentary series on this place. I truly hope we can give this video the justice it deserves.
That is one of the best videos I have ever seen. I think we just saw Lucas Bretz in 25 years.
Haha, so true!
Yes.
That was awesome thanks for bringing it to us!
So cool! I’m excited to hear he’s working on building up his live bearers, he has some variatus that I’ve been wanting for along time now but haven’t been available since the last hurricane. Great work Cory and Jimmy!
This is absolutely amazing. An hour long video that felt like it was only scratching the surface of how complex this operation is. Honestly the most amazing part was you pointing out the fog and almost clouds in the greenhouse. It’s awesome that someone is keeping fish in such a natural way, many hobbyists would never believe possible. Thanks for the tour!
Snakes, Scuds, Spiders AND FISH! Plants growing out of control...and in TOTAL control of the nitrogen cycle...Wild fish in the sump that you can walk on. "Mulm's" the word... Mulm's the S&@*...It's heaven, or at least a distracting, enchanting aquatic utopia.
I like nature and working with nature instead of against it.
I am curious how he controls Frogs. I guess the fish and the snakes help.
The snakes provide control, but after the hurricane raccoons had easy access to the greenhouses and the snake population is down. Two species of green treefrogs are common in the greenhouses, but they keep the insect population down. They can be annoying when they jump on you as you go past.
This is my dream place right here. If it weren't for the heat, I'd probably never leave.
7:47 that dog was so cool. He's like mind your own business, I'll mind mine. Nom nom nom.
Awesome as always. Thanks for taking the time (and expense) to do things like this for the hobby!
Amazing to see that ecosystem thriving. I've been able to keep fish for years in what I call a "mini-ecosystem" using lower stocking and algae to maintain water quality. Recently I've started to explore live plants so I can add more stock and reduce the algae, though I still love the look of an algae covered tank. People are always amazed at my tanks and how long I have them up and running.
As any dedicated hobbyist knows the average newbie will get a tank, kill a bunch of fish and give up. Admittedly I did the same years ago, long before the wealth of info was available on the internet. Once you really focus and learn how the ecosystem works you can really step up your game, even with algae alone, as I have done for many years.
With most fish once you get your tank fully cycled, and I mean fully matured not an early cycle, less is truly more. If you have plenty of plants to manage water quality the only issue you really face is over stocking your tank. I do as few water changes as I can get away with. If I over stock I will have to change water for quality, but once you get your bio-load stable it's pretty much topping off. I feel that is truly the best way to keep fish. A spotlessly clean tank is not easily kept healthy.
I guess I find it all interesting because I'm a fish nerd. I believe I'm in good company here. hahaha :)
One of the best angelfish breeders I knew had pea soup green tanks and his fish thrived.
I’ve watched this three times and I can not get enough of it.
This is the content I’m dying for
Organized chaos, I love it. It reminds me of asia. You don't need all the fancy stuff. I looks like paradise . Thanks Coopy and Jimmy.
Ps, wasn't there snakes in Paradise too!😊
This is fish keeping at its very best, amazing how natural it is.
Ok 1 hour video and this place looks bloody awesome after just 1 minute in. Eyes glued, finger primed and ready to click that like button.
This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a long time! I got into the hobby because I’m a wastewater treatment plant operator. The different systems of water treatment fascinate me. I was excited when he said he tried out a RBC. I would love to see a schematic of this system and how it all connects. Thanks for the awesome video Corey!
I’m studying in school right now but I’d honestly work a summer for free with this guy. The amount of knowledge you’d obtain would be like a decade under a professor
This is my favorite video from the coop. I have watched it three times. Such a nice hardworking man. I could listen to him every day and learn something new each time. He has a wonderful view of fish farming.
Great video. Thanks for bringing attention to this hidden gem of a fish farm.
This is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Thank you for the hard work it took to get there and get footage!
Oh my, can you imagine having a stream under your feet, wildlife living in trees inside, with 500 tubs of fish? What heaven.
"We dont coddle the Fish Here!!!" 🤣 50:00
Did I say that? I haven't watch the video yet. If I didn't say it, I should have.
@@goliadfarms7029 it was said, Hilarious! 🤣
@@goliadfarms7029 thank you for letting Cory and Aquarium Co-op your with you. This has been an amazing experience. Hope to see another one sometime! Thank you so much!!
@@jordanbabcock9349 We look forward to having Cory back down for another visit. I also hope to take Aquarium Coop on a fish collecting trip at nearby locations.
Charles
@@goliadfarms7029 Hi Charles, what are those blue fish I see by your pump at the 22 minute mark? Just off the glimpse I get, they look amazing!
What great knowledge these old fish farmers have. This is super unique.
Wow, what a magical water wonderland of fish to work in.🤘
Wow, one of the coolest "fish room" tours I've ever seen! He has quite the ecosystem set up in that greenhouse.
OMG. This is the most fun I've had, after work, lookin' at the RUclipss. This guy is AWESOME and this dogs have to be the best German Shepherds in the universe. AMAZING!!!
Awesome spotlight! Thank you, Cory, for everything you are doing for the hobby so far. I believe you are the greatest example of how American businesses should be run, honestly and efficiently. You sir, are a true gentleman.
doggo's enjoying some good slurps from the tanks lol
Amazing tour Cory and Jimmy thanks so much for sharing it with us. I would definitely love to see more stuff like this! Goliad Farms is DEFINITELY doing it right!
Fantastic! 🤩 What a treat!
Thanks a million for bringing us along to places like this that we’d otherwise likely never see! I think my next tank might be a tub now...
I’m just glad we got to visit. I was afraid it would never happen as I had been trying to get here for 7 years. Natural disasters kept hitting them and delayed it until now. Even now they are still rebuilding.
Oh, don't we all dream of having this kind of setup, absolutely gorgeous!
Mark Hamill if he worked with fish instead of the Force.
🐐
This is one of my favorite coop videos! Great job Jimmy and Corey!
Cory thank you so much for bringing this to light, after watching many fish room breeding videos this is truly outstanding. Every other setup requires crazy utility bills and massive water changes.
Please keep pushing us to be better fish keepers !
Wow! Loved the tour, probably one of my favorite AC vids of all time! Thanks for sharing
LOL "Suzie won't let me catch [rattlesnakes] by hand anymore since I was bitten by them in 2004"
when ur bitten and still want to catch by hand
That wasn't his fault! The dogs got too close and scared the snake.
Wive's can be very conservative. I was bitten once in 100s of times. Pretty good odds I think.
That's one stubborn old man, i can feel his wife getting headache
Definitely one of your best videos. This guys has forgotten more knowledge than most fish breeders will ever attain. It's good to know people like this still exist. Old school guys. Thanks much for sharing this with us! Really enjoyed watching.
Wow this is one of my favorite videos on RUclips. This guy is LIVING.
This is great. I absolutely loved this video. I would love to work there and be around that all day, everyday.
WOW!! Might be the most awesome thing, i have seen for a long time!! :D
I love how humble he is.this is an amazing set up good to see all the plants.
This facility is a dream come true. Thank you for sharing this epic experience with us. Cheers from East Coast, USA!
Talk about enjoying nature daily!! Everything is absolutely stunning and the sound of the water is so relaxing 😍
20 min in and I’ve seen two fish.... getting fed to a dog lol
This is just incredible! That snake was pretty neat lol Thank you so much for showing us this Cory!
