The giant leaf fish are super cool and I like the not-zebra pleco I forgot the name of. The giant armored cat fish is cute. I just want to pet it. Edit: the worm line plecos.

Some cool fish. And the reality of what wild-caught fish go through

I can’t wait to see Dean breeding electric eels.

It seems a lot of people are confused about the "poor conditions" these fish are in, probably from the mulm and brown water. But if they'd watched the other Peru videos, they'd see the water was solid brown, so at least you can see into the water here, and it looks like the tanks are very well oxygenated, and they likely have some heavy-duty water changes. Fish live in dirt and waste and algae in the wild. If the fish are sick and dying, they won't make money. It seems they also use a brown medicine. So easy for people to jump to conclusions and judge. My only issue is the tank size for the giant fish. That looks depressing when they can't move.

@@fishnfriends4104 which is why I said the only issue I have it that the large fish can't seem to turn around and such. I don't like seeing that. The low water levels isn't an issue for the majority of the fish, but for some of them, it looked terrible. However, Cory and other people in the comments said it's to get the fish used to low pressure and oxygen while shipping, so that makes sense. I don't like it, but if there's a reason for it, then... 🤷🏻‍♀️ Another thing to keep in mind is that these aren't their forever homes. They're their before they get shipped. So it *should* be temporary. I hope.

I think the key word you used here is "keeping." This exporter isn't keeping fish in these conditions, they are storing fish like this. It does them no good for fish to stagnate in these conditions, or pass away from them. Even from the most cynical standpoint I think the exporter and the hobbyist have common desire to see the fish stay healthy and spend as little time as possible in high density conditions.

im still wondering as to why the tanks were so low here, I asked in my own comment why they are so low and wouldnt they be healthier if they had more water? well i got a reply from Aquarium co-op saying "How would they be more safe?" not sure if they didnt understand the question otherwise not sure why they would imply having little to no water is somehow just as "safe" as keeping a fish in a proper volume of water.......no hate... just dont get the clarification from co-op on this one

Keep in mind they probably don't stay in the tank for very long. My guess is 2-3 days at most.

When somebody says you shouldn't put a common pleco in a small or even a medium size tank that's because they grow up into these massive prehistoric looking monsters like the ones Cory and Dean see a few examples of in this video. Very impressive looking. I think my favorite of the whole tour was that one prehistoric "megalodon" looking catfish. or whatever it was.

Wow, what a tour! I love how every inch of space was used. That’s a lot of fish I’ve never even seen before

Absolutely loved all the Hatchets!

Insane! Just a completely different world. Fish that would cost hundreds of dollars here just plucked out of the river and held in nondescript facilities. Speaks to how hardy fish can really be, I guess. And also what they endure from the wholesaler/collector to the importer and dealer, to the store and finally to our homes! Thanks for bringing us along!

Awesome plecos

Awesome!! I always enjoying this journey!

I definitely think the chameleon catfish were the coolest species in the video...that said, I had no idea electric eels got that huge!! Crazy!! Please do more videos like this in the future!

I think it's to get them used to low pressure water, the bags won't be filled all the way too when they are getting shipped. That way the fish can already adjust to the low pressure and don't have that stress in the bag.

crazy, ooks like a place to keep the fish for a short period...

I've been seeing those giant chameleon whiptails showing up in stores either singly or in duos over the past 6 months (there appear to be at least 3 species, or possibly color morphs, an orange brown, a dark brown, and that brown centerline with tan sides). They seem really interesting--I hope they get in more people's hands so the hobby can get a better sense of their care needs.

You quickly scanned past the angel fish... Scalare and Altums.... While there did you happen to see any Leopoldi angels ? We see plenty of the other two.. Leopoldi seem to be as rare as hens teeth. David
