KeepingFishSimple FULL Store Tour! From Breeding Fish at Home to Owning a Shop
Today Nick's KeepingFishSimple Shop opened here in Brisbane! This is not just any aquarium store. Nick began breeding aquarium fish at a young age and has managed to turn his passion into a living through his KZread channel, fish breeding, and now a store. What he has created is absolutely astounding and is a huge accomplishment. I was lucky enough to have Nick show me out the back to have a look at the areas for breeding, quarantining and growing out aquarium fish!

@@CharlesLales I have different kinds of tropical fish in my 30 gallons tank but most of them are tetras. Rams specifically are very hard to find here in the Philippines since Rams are not that popular as a commercial pet fish here in our country. Philippines and Australia were very close to each other like only 5-8 hours of travel by airplane and the Philippines is also close to main producers of Rams like China and Thailand but still the supply of Rams here is very low
Love that he puts "locally bred" on the tags. Thats the kind of information I'd love to have in my local fish shops

so good to see fellow Aussies supporting each other. ❤️
It truly is wonderful Nick has accomplished so much. His dedication and determination has come true in creating his business. Congratulations 🎊
Seeing hobbyists support each other makes me so happy. I've seen on some places before they usually dont support other hobbyists.

Thanks, Kaity. Great fun! Nick often talks about quarantining guppies and treating them for worms and parasites, but I don't think he ever mentioned what he uses . . . until now. Tell him "Thanks" for me. I watched his build-out videos putting his shop together. It's really turned out amazing! I'd love to see it, but it's kind of a bit of a jaunt from Southern California. Maybe some day. Thanks for the tour. Keep doing what you're doing. Your content is really developing and growing. Cheers!

Another point, L333 is really not such complicated to breed you know. Simply provide good water quality, well oxygenated, with stream, caves are important, a decent group, and also good food. Then you'll get fry. Have you checked my tanks? I do have under the Discus one a growing extension plugged to same life support system. There L333 and L201 are quite regularly brought. I am waiting for L46 and especially L236 SW RB line to breed as well at one point. For food here in Germany: EBO Aquaristik. But in Australia I saw other brands, more made in US and Asia.. Your new tank will be discus at one point? Or are you doing aquascaping? I would suggest you a nature-scaping, mix biotope and aquascaping, but Australia oriented! Would fit with rainbow fishes you just bought ;-)

Hey Kaity! Hope you are doing good. I am noticing many hobbiest slowly moving towards marine/ reef set up. Starting with a small 1ftx1ftx1ft size. Mostly in next 3-5 years we might get to see marine tanks with par to fr3sh water tanks. Maybe ypu should plan on getting one 😀

Maybe one day in the future! I have had some saltwater setups before but it has never really stuck for me for some reason. I have been seeing some of the nano bowl reef setups recently though and I really love them
I've lived and worked in Germany and also had African haps while I was there this shop is top notch the only thing is the Germans love there stainless racks
