This is easily the best aquarium tour video i have seen. Really clear picture quality and great commentary . Very steady with the camera. 10/10.
Thank you for the kind words! I try my best to ensure top quality 😁

My friend, youve been doing an amazing job. Seen your comments on my other videos and I believe you DMed me on Instagram? Sorry I havent got back to them, I'm on vacation at the moment and running around literally the whole day. Will get back to you soon. Thank you for helping identify everything 😁
@@SGBeardedAquarist Its all right :) I have a lot of fun researching fish.
@Assad EXdeath Lol Thanks!

Yes I want to visit this place one day , I actually want to travel all thru Asia
Do it! Asia's aquarium industry is awesome. Probably largely due to the tropical climate of many of the asian countries.
@@SGBeardedAquarist yeah you are so lucky!!!! ✌️☮️🐟🌎
Dude that’s awesome! Thank you for showing us this!
Welcome man. Thanks for watching 😁
Great video as always! I've visited River Safari twice so far, but watching your video makes me wanna go back and visit again. After getting into the fishkeeping hobby, I think the experience of visiting River Safari again would be different since I'd have more appreciation and knowledge on certain fishes.
Thanks Darius! And yes i reckon the experience will be different when you're armed with knowledge from the aquarium hobby. You'll see things so differently! And appreciate the significance of certain fishes/aquariums more :)
Wow the aquarium water is crystal clear 😸
Finally got to see your videos after my exams!
Ahhhhhh. Been wondering where you've been!
Beautiful place with amazing animals.
Beautiful place indeed 😁
Glad to see my country doing good!
Just got back from a week vacation at Myrtle Beach, SC. Could not wait to get back and see my aquarium. Every one is fine.
Great to hear!! Im heading back in about 3 days from vacation. Cant wait to check on everyone and do a water change.
That was amazing. Thank you my friend...
Thank you and welcome! 😁
Amazing tour
Thank you! 😁
I miss the old river safari😢. Anyways good tour!
what kind of feed are you using for your tank? Brand? Type?
I think that was a lake malawi aquarium. The fish with hump is called blue dolphin if im not wrong.
Great video; thanks for sharing!
Thank you and welcome 😁
"look at that redtail"... Huge stingray swims by, lol. Great video!
Hahahahaha! I noticed it when watching the video too. In the interest of not making everyone giddy i keep the camera still at one spot but my head is actually scanning all over the pond for the arowana. So what the camera sees at that point isnt actually what im seeing 😂
Awesome upload!
Thanks Jimmy! 😁
Its awesome video
Thank you! 😁
Love ypur channel man your humble and i love that you keep your turtle with your tank i do that also people say fiah abd turtles dont mix
Thank you Erick! And yes people always think it cant be done; but it can! 😁
Ocenario De Lisboa in Portugal for your overseas aquarium video please! They have a forests underwater temporary exhibition by Amano
That was on my agenda first day in Portugal. It was amazing. 😁 a sight to be seen. Can't wait to share it with you.
Awesome!
Thank you! 😁
Hey Ashley,another great video as usual,there’s an albino turtle at K&K aquarium near Tampines west CC.But idk how much it costs though.I think you should check it out as it’s awesome.
Hey Zenon, thank you 😁 I've heard a lot about k&k. Really need to check it out one of these days!
Many aquarium shops in Tampines close over the past decade. K K is one of the oldest surviving one. I think over at BLK 400 plus also got one shop there.
Loving it! 😊😀
Thank you 😁
Hope you liked the discus tank scape. Coz I designed it... haha! 😉 Yeah, the background was faux root, so I added that huge driftwood on the left plus a few smaller twigs, as well as rocks to create a riverbank feel featuring dead trees - the typical habitat of wild discus.
Oh it was so awesome!! So relaxing to watch the discus tank. You're working at River Safari? 😀
@@SGBeardedAquarist Yeap! I've been into fish & all that nerdy ichthyological stuff since a kid, but only fairly recently did I decide to take the plunge; turning my lifelong endeavor into a profession.
I'm a born & bred Singaporean with a penchant for aquascaping! 🇸🇬 Both biotope-style, as well as planted aquariums. I wish to share with the world my passion. And hopefully, our guests will be delighted by the beauty of the aquatic world. With fond memories of our country, as well as River Safari! 🥰
I must admit, at first I was daunted by the sheer size of our display tanks but with the guidance & help from our team, well I kind of grabbed whatever hardscape was at hand & just gave it a go! And when the tanks were up & running I just can't describe the feeling. It's both challenging & yet, rewarding! So inspired to take it to the next level for future projects, that I flew all the way to Portugal, recently. To visit the Florestas Submersas at Oceanario de Lisboa. IT WAS AWESOME!!! Yeah, I checked out your vid in Portugal. Great job on that one, man! Outstanding camera work & commentary! 👍👍
I can only imagine the feeling of scaping an aquarium of that magnitude and watching as everyone come by to admire it! Must have been beyond words. Would be so cool if you could share about the process/behind the scenes or if you're doing up any new tanks over there. Not sure about river safari company stand on such things tho.
And Takashi Amano's Florestas Submersas is insane! It'll be the next video 😁
What type of food pellet is that, the one you feed the turtle and louhan?
Could you cross breed koi and grass carp? Make a orange grass carp?
koi were originally common carp cross bred with goldfish to make a "koi" by the chinese... so ya u prolly could breed them together maybe... but not the tripoid grass carp cuz they are infertile
Great video
Thank you! 😁
Just subscribed
Nice job keep doing bro 👍🏻❤️
Thank you. And welcome to the family bro! 😁
@14:55 they are Mahseer fish...one of the best game fishes of the world - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahseer
Thanks man! I didn't know. Now I do 😁
Did you know the cardianal tetra tank have 2 anglefish or used to
Oooo i didnt know that! Maybe they changed it. When was it that you last came here?
@@SGBeardedAquarist last year desember
May i kindly ask, what type of flowerhorn do you have there? :)
I believe it is a super red dragon flowerhorn :)
African arowana do sell in local fish shop. They are seasonal fish. Hard to keep when they are young. I still have mine around 11inches now. 😬
Didnt know that! I always never see them. Which period are they usually available and which shops carry them do you know?
SG Bearded Aquarist last month mix of the month have.. now I not very sure.. clementi 328 LFS, that aquarium and rainbow.. mostly have. All different price. Depends on quality of the fish.. around 2-3inches. And they are fliter feeder when they are young.. when they reach about 9-10inches they will start eating sinking pellets / market prawns.. 😊
How old are they gar???
You have a good editing skills bro,
Thanks bro! Took a lot of learning and practice so really appreciate the recognition 😁
the kalang river ,has a rich variety of fishes ,so the river safari .
Wow!!!
Wow indeed! Its an amazing place and aquarist heaven.
amazing like a Taman mini Indonesia museum air tawar TMII
is it just me or when i went there, the enclosures were dark.Is it always dark? because i dont remember the lightning being this good and any tips taking photos in the dark?
Nice commentary 👍
Thank you! 😁
North Carolina has some awesome aquariums. Baltimore, MD has a great aquarium also.
Freshwater?
its amazing
It truly is!
Nice
Thank you! 😁
Those fish!!!!
Which one 😂
@@SGBeardedAquarist all of them! But mainly those stergion
the soft-shell looks good for butchering to make turtle soup.
Usually those Stingray the big Stingray that is my favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite is gooood
The Giant Datnoids At The Mekong River Side Is Mind blowing - Sean:)
Changed your RUclips username?
@@SGBeardedAquarist I Changed Account:)
Ashley so sad coz when I see your flowerhorn it's body is not good beat up and I think you should keep him alone so that it'll be more intense colors.... btw who ever reading this please smash that subscribe button and that bell for you to be notified coz this man has awesome videos ever week and you will really enjoy his cool videos btw Ashley thanks again for the great vid😁😊
Thanks Dan!! Ill try to see if its possible to get thanos to be alone. I'm starting to think of moving tom out soon maybe.
@@SGBeardedAquarist awesome!!
🇩🇪👍🏾👍🏾 good work
Subscribed... but you really need to learn more abt identifying fish dude... and other basic fishy stuff... but ya camera shots awesome clarity amazing not much shake less headache keep at it don’t stop ok...not complaining Hor... 🥳🏅
Hahaha thanks i guess. Somewhere between picking up filming, editing, youtube and my own life going on, fish/turtles/aquariums is just another aspect and I divide my time equally. A good videographer would likewise watch my video and think my fish knowledge is great but need to work on camera/editing skills. With time I'll get better in everything. 😁
Agreed! Overall doing great... life is about learning anyways... thank too... seeing ya past videos and am enjoying it... great keep it up... maybe a fishing hunting expedition... species fishing in sg... just suggestion... keep it up! 🎖🏆🥇
That first fish looks like silver bream but it is bigger cool !
Which fish?
@@SGBeardedAquarist the thumb nail fish
The fishes sizes are like this RUclipsr in US,ohio fish rescue,theirs are all in their house,
Best 42 minutes of my life.. Come to Aquaria KLCC
Thank you! Might have to put that on my list. Are there freshwater exhibits there?
What was the panda up to?
He was in the zone with his tail up, head down, dropping a few panda presents for all to enjoy.
Admiring the ground..........................yeah right.
A big fire just happened somewhere near boon lay area. From Boon lay MRT looking in the direction Jurong Central Park
Woah is it bad?
@@SGBeardedAquarist yea, smoke cloud was so big you could see it from Jurong East.
How is that flowerhorn not eating everyone in the tank?
Carefully thought through with risk involved. Flowerhorns are cichlids and like most cichlids, they are usually aggressive to their own species, frequently extending to species of the same family and even fishes that just fit the look. Of course there are the maniacs that tear everything up but not all flowerhorns are like that and so when choosing the flowerhorn, I'm looking for a docile one (granted behaviour might change with age). As for the other fish, most of them arent cichlids and neither do they fit into his mouth to be a meal. So they are left alone.
As for the 2 cichlids I have inside, one is a short bodied pink convict and i guess looks so far off from a cichlid that there is 0 aggression from the FH.
The other is a jack dempsey that does get chased around from time to time. Usually during feeding. This is normal and it doesnt get out of hand because of the clear size difference. The JD is a juvenile and hence hierarchy is easily established without challenge/retaliation.
So it's all working out, for now at least. And the past 6 months! :)
You didn't film the goliath tigerfish?? 😭
Where is it???
@@SGBeardedAquarist brooo 😂 in the tank, where the African Arowana is. You can see him at 9:55
@@SGBeardedAquarist they are the REAL attraction of river safari to me, and not the manatees . hopefully a full grown 4 footer in near future
What I would have liked to see? A river. An artificial tropical river with shallow pools..into fast moving waters and loads of fish ,turtles,and plants. Maybe in a huge circle around the viewer or snakes and zig zags like a river. It would be much more fun and realistic than the usual giant bathtubs done all over the world. They have pumps that can easily move that kind of water. Water parks do it for people. I would like to see that for fish.
That'll be nice. Only issue is it doesnt appeal to the general public as much as fishes in glass tanks do.
@@SGBeardedAquarist Oop,i left out..one side of the river is all glass. So you get a cutaway view. The SD zoo did something like that for its Hippo's..with African cichlids in a small heated pool. But an all tropical "river" of a few hundred thousand gallons would be great to look at.
How did this small size country make this so good?
The best gifts come in small packages 🤣
I'm pretty sure I saw a stingray in with the Silver Arowanas.
Yes there is! I noticed it only after watching the footage 🤣
Was i the only one that thought the first clip of the fish was rlly good animation.
It does look pretty unreal eh!
@S
@@SGBeardedAquarist thanks for the heart! Love your channel
I don't think I've actually ever seen Arowana in such a deep and spacious tank. They look tiny up there; they are so small compared to Mekong Giant Catfish surely they would try and eat them? They look a little stressed. Arowana normally prefer shallower waters.
A lot of things can be achieved in a big enough aquarium. For example this is so deep that the stratification means that the arowana is always out if sight and far away from the catfish. Im curious as to what made you say the arowana look stressed?
@@SGBeardedAquarist Thanks. I keep Asian Arowana and know their behaviour. Their fins were all torn and also they appeared a bit jumpy. Just wandering if there was a platform above to view the surface.
Your accent sounds very caribbean ...Guyanese or Trinidadian ... kinda amazing knowing your not from there
You are super good at talking english
Thank you! It is my first language after all :)
@@SGBeardedAquarist is it i thought it was Singaporean
In Singapore the 4 official languages are English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. English is the main language of adminstration here. We do have Singlish: English with a flavour singaporean slangs, expressions and style of speaking, but it's not a recognize language nor does it have actual grammatical rules governing it.
first time i see the giant panda place, i think its look like dinosaur cage in jurassic world movie lol
Hahahaha! A little bit now that you mentioned it
First :D
Fast!
I'm sry is that 42min video hahaha btw is thanos kok getting bigger or Its been this big since it came
Yes 42 minutes of awesomeness. Thanos kok is getting huge. It wasnt anywhere this close when i got him a few months ago
0:41 i just did what you told, and now my screen is broke. :-(
SG Bearded Aquarist is not liable for any damage to property 😉
@@SGBeardedAquarist lol!! nice channel btw, new sub
I wonder if anyone keep electric eel as pet
I'm sure there are!
SG Bearded Aquarist yes, I was there only 2 days ago and there are 2 beautiful red arowana swimming in the giant catfish tank
Yup it's in the video :)
hmmm i remember i saw one in the tub before long time back, damn shop owner even dare me to touch it , lol
About legalizing turtle species:
1. Some owners may breed and then release animals into the wild. Australia for example has had several such cases which resulted in a huge disruption in the ecosystem. I also recall watching a video about an invasive crayfish species being introduced into a river in America (Might be Colombia river but I cant be too sure). The crayfish has since destroyed every other species living in the river and constantly cannibalize each other for food.
2. Some are endangered lah obviously.
3. Many aquatic/amphibious animals, which I am surprised to find out, requires a huge body of water/space to live and grow comfortably. Goldfish for example require a lot more than a fish bowl for a healthy growth. Goldfish bred at home almost always only live up to a fraction of their expected lifespan. Terrapins face the same problem. I had a couple of them as a kid and only kept them in a tiny plastic tank you find in an old aquarium store. I later realized it isnt very ethical to do so.
Great video by the way! Very informative video. Keep up the good content.
The releasing part makes sense except that the species they do allow, the Red Eared Slider, is the most invasive turtle species in the world. It thrives in many conditions and out-competes other turtles/animals for resources. Allowing turtles that are not as invasive (less likely to thrive and outcompete in non-native waters) not only doesn't make things worse but might actually aid the situation because there are many species that are not endangered and do not grow as large as the RES and hence less likely to be released. Even if they are released, they are less likely to thrive and even if they do, they are usually less aggressive than the RES and wouldnt hunt native fishes or outcompete other species.
AVA does not make turtles illegal like other countries do. Instead, all reptiles are illegal, except the RES and Malayan Box Turtle. Seems more like reluctance to spend the manpower to do research and justify the illegality of certain species and instead they find it easier to only determine which are legal.
And thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
@@SGBeardedAquarist thats a real shame though. ive always wanted exotic pets like pythons or tarantulas. i heard you can catch scorpions in upper pierce reservoir at night but ive never gone around doing that. you cant really blame them for not bothering to do research, i think. we're kind of a niche crowd here in sg. not worth the time and effort on so much research. also getting approval of more species might not be as easy as you think. a lot of hurdles to jump to get approval from a big entity like our govt. also its not a secret that our govt focuses more on economic growth and sustainability than welfare of citizens
Can’t believe that sin has a aquarium zoo
One of the rare public aquarium in the world I know of that's dedicated to freshwater
14.51 What fish?
Mahseer fish
African cichlids 😍
Muahaha. I need to learn more about them bro!
Long time never go Now I thinking go again
Go go go!
I went there once. Got panda.
Yeah kai kai and jia jia
Yoo dude love the vid...just saying ‘fishes’ is a verb not the plural version of fish. The plural version of ‘fish’ is ‘fish’. Anw keep up the great work. Peace!
Thanks man. So I've been told. 'Fishes' can be used when refering to fish of numerous species. Nonetheless... i doubt i can kick the habit of using 'fishes' whenever im referring to more one fish... but ill try 🤣 thanks again man!
Video on Asian arowana pls dude
thise are so cool
Sharmenth KR more arowana videos to come for sure
The giant Mekong stingray is not there anymore!
It is! I saw it later on but the footage wasn't the best so i omitted it. It was HUGE.
Btw Thanos looks great..cok is huge brah..lol
Yes he has been getting loads of compliments... bet his ego is as big as his kok now
I smashed my subscribe button and broke my damn phone
Disclaimer: SG Bearded Aquarist will not be liable for any damages caused to your devices 🤣🤣🤣
ive always wanted to see this arowanas in real life
New sub bro just found you 🙏
12:04 and now we are looking at the Indian 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you 😁😁😁😁😁
i want to see you go in china river and catch fish and film it .... and if you find big foot that's cool too .... lol
I want to see that too. I mean I'm not too sure about meeting big foot, i might be a little nervous but heck, that'll be a 1 billion views video 😂
Dissapointed! There's no Channa aka Snakehead fish! Why! Except for that, everything is so stunning! I just so dissaponted that theres no Channa in there. Well, almsot all of the Aquariums like these never had Channa.
I wonder why. Maybe they feel that Channa not active enough so won't have public appeal 🤔
@@SGBeardedAquarist I know right! They are wrong to say that Channa doesn't have any appeal to public! Look at Channa Marulioides! The strike of the red and their flower pattern is stunning! Or Channa Aurantimaculata that have awesome Orang Spotted on their boyd, or Channa Barca with his spotted black and Orange Fins like. OR CHANNA BLEHERI THAT'S LOOKS LIKE RAINBOW! AND LAST! CHANNA MICROPELTES! THE BIGGEST YET BEAUTIFUL BLUISH DARK COLOR! . . . . . .. I'm sorry for take my rage in here.
And also, Channa is active. They just shy for a couple of weeks and they will fly like that place is belong to them. Why I know this? I just got my hand bitten by my Channa Marulioides. It's not hurt, but it's kinda startling.

This guy got the Cheese.
I'm all about the cheese, baby please!
If we keep this turtles in singapore they scared we let go and eat our local fish
I've a feeling its just pure laziness from them. Instead of going through the trouble of identitfying which we can't keep.. they decided its easier to just identify what we can; aka RES and malayan box
There isn't a word like fishes dummy😂😂😂
There is. I just don't use it appropriately sometimes. The plural of fish is fish. However when referring to multiple species, fishes can be used.
But hey, least I don't go around calling people dummy before knowing my stuff 😉
@@SGBeardedAquarist but you didn't mention multiple species!
As I said, I just dont use it appropriately. The word exists 😉
@@SGBeardedAquarist go play with your fish at home boi🔥
@@mrs.bigshot4488 doing that right now
He copied paul cuffaro's talking style
