Are there still the plans for expanding the gallery? Also, one other option you might consider for goldfish is to, essentially, rebuild your old oscar setup from before the entire mess with the other building.

Why not just vlog. It’s easier

Love when people we watch and respect have enough guts to talk freely. Bring back the Joey that's having fun bro. No aspect to small for a video

Joey I owe a lot of my knowledge of the hobby to you. With that being said do whatever makes you happy. I love keeping up with you and your family as well as the hobby. Whichever you decide you’ll always have my support!

Knowing Joey, this will all be different in less than a year 😆 He is nuts, in the best possible way. Nuts all the same. As soon as he finishes, he will take it all down and start again. Oh, this is a 10 month old video. My prediction is correct even though 10 months late 😎😝😆 Joey is nuts !

As someone who doesn’t currently have fish or even pets at the moment, I’m living vicariously thru your hobby. Your enthusiasm is awesome and love your content. Just keep doing your thing and I’ll keep watching.

Joey, I’d be happy to watch and support whatever you do. At the end of the day you should do whatever makes you happy and brings you joy in your work. As a marine biologist I’ve found your videos really informative and interesting and I always find myself drawn to both your current content and your older diy videos. You’ve through your videos I’ve been able to learn and grow my areas of interest and your responsible for my love in freshwater aquatic life. Your videos are amazing and your a great person.

If "old Joey" is "happy Joey," then go back to "old Joey." The fish/content is just a part of the equation. You, your energy, and your personality is why I continue to tune in.

You’re the main reason I got back into the hobby after years of being away. You do whatever you want to do, I assure you, we’ll be there 💪

Ready to see the "Old" Joey come back. Have loved the adventure we have been on and will continue to always support you!!

I would love to see all the DIY projects again! I believe we all get a lot of inspiration from them! I’m honestly looking forward to it. Go for it!!! Pre pandemic videos were awesome! I still go back to them now!

I 2nd that I just cut up an old fish tank and built it into a 100 gallon euro braced frag tank thanks to your inspiration but you do what makes you happy my friend.

Every time I feel like I'm slipping a bit from the enjoyment of fish keeping I'll watch your videos and the enthusiasm you show toward the hobby re-energizes me! It would be a shame to lose you from KZread, Joey. But you gotta do what you gotta do man. Thanks for everything you've inspired me to do in my own Fish Room. You'll always be the King DIY in my book.

Stoked for the vlog style videos to come back. I’ve enjoyed it all, but that format was my favorite. Keep it up, Joey!

I was out of the hobby for a decade. So, when I came back, I knew I wanted to do it bigger and better. I used a lot of your videos to help me set up my two 140 gallon DIY setups. And, following your lead, I was even thinking about making a video to show the community how I did my specific DIY to give more people ideas and knowledge in the future. We're all growing in the hobby together in this way, and I'm so glad you've been here to help me along. Thank you.

There’s something for everyone in this hobby, there will always be people who love what you post, and I always love learning from watching you do things.

Hey Joey! I’ve been an avid watcher since I was about 14-15 and I’m about to be 24 now. Do your thing man!! I think the real King of DIY fans will be pleased at any moment you post a video.

It's not just a fish keeping channel. It's actually you became a part of our life. The passion, the positivity, the hype, the excitement, and the new projects and ideas that you bring to this hobby that we love. We always learn a lot from these videos.

Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, this is better than anything on TV. It’s just nice to watch someone else having fun in the hobby!

You do you man i've been watching you for years and it dosn't matter how your video ends up it's always a good time watching! I started studying and saving since 4 years ago to start my own LFS. Watching your videos helped push me over the edge to cement this goal and inspire me to help the hobby in ways that the chain stores don't. So at the end of the day if Joey is happy with what he's doing know that others share mutual feelings.

I remember those pre-pandemic times! I watched all your videos. I still do. I'm all here to go back to those almost daily updates man! Looking forward beeing your friend you show around. All the best from switzerland!

Your charisma is what makes this channel great. If what you're doing is making you happy, it'll be good and we'll watch it. Do what makes you excited.

Seeing someone so excited about what they do inspires me to find that as my own. You should be able to do whatever makes you happy. Everytime you see negative things just remember there seemingly is a lot more positive things you've provided to this community. Thank you, I recently rewatched your older videos to see how you evolved. It's something I and I'm sure other people are as well are very interested in. So anything you do I'm sure people will watch!

My man we will be here for whenever or whatever you share with us. Don't stress about a passion. We are blessed to have any of your content and feel like a part of it.

Joey, I love the videos where you change a filter, make a stand, or just general maintenance, even just moving fish around, you have been an influence to so many people, do what makes you happy. 😊

Because of your videos my life has changed. It has kept me going in times when I could not enjoy the hobby myself because of moving so often. I finally have a place to call my own and be able to pull all my stuff out of storage to get going again. Your inspiration has probably stretched further than you've ever imagined. Thanks you!!!

Joey glad to see you back at it. I remember listening to your story about overcoming all of the obstacles you have with the help of this hobby. Do whatever is best for your mental health, however i wanna say if you stay, we're glad to have you with us. You've helped nurture a loving and knowledgeable community. Thank you for everything you do and stay strong!

Your videos have been one of the driving forces getting me into the hobby. Whatever kind of content you decide to make, do it. I'll still watch. :)

Everything you talk about is a learning experience. I have learned so much from you no matter what type video you put out.

Do what makes you happy !!! More fun and seeing those projects come ro life is what made you the King of DIY !!!

Bring it back Joey, you have been missed. I personally love all your DIY videos

I don't care what you post, I enjoy your energy, I enjoy every video you've made from vlogs to projects to educational videos from fish to bacteria, you keep making videos, and I'll keep watching them bud 👍

Joey. I started my aquarium setup and maintenance company because of you. Thank you for teaching me throughout these years.

You do what makes you happy. I got a fish tank 10 years ago and have kept it going and still learning always doing something new to it thanks to you!! Love what you do what ever you do keep it going xx

I'm so pumped! I've wanted the King of DIY back for years!!

Joey, I've always thought of myself as a friend going along for the ride. There are no expectations here - I just enjoy having a window into you enjoying your hobby and sharing in your passion for fish keeping.

You’ve taught me so much Joey, I started this hobby in my college apartment and it grew to every corner of the place. You’ve single handedly saved some of my bigger fish. When I didn’t know how to do something I’d come to you. You are an incredible inspiration for me especially showing that your past doesn’t define you. I love watching whatever you decide makes you happy. The last thing anyone wants here is for you to feel like this is a chore. The best part about your videos is your energy!

Keep up the great work inspiring hobbiest however works best for you. Your videos grew my internet into a fish room. Thank you for all your content.

Been watching you for YEARS. Of course I would love you to go back to your videos. But at the end of the day your happieness is whats most important. Half of the reason I got hooked on your videos was your infectious upbeat personality thats passionate about your hobby and seeing it through your videos. So for me, I want you to do what makes you happy!

I’ve been here since the beginning and I’m not going anywhere. You’ve taught me so much and I am so grateful. We have never met but you feel like family. Love you, Joey. Take care.

I just love being here along for the ride with all these fun fish projects and have inspired me to DIY whenever I can in my hobby. Keep doing you Joey! I loved the old technical diy making videos and loved the newer vloging style too, like you said its that parasocial sharing of something that excites you about this hobby that has made me a long time fan.

Joey! Please keep updating. You've inspired me SO MUCH to get my own aquarium... I say keep going with what you need to do. You're a huge inspiration man!

Bring back the regular videos/vlog I need that in my day again. I love what you do I have the book on it and it keeps me engaged in all my hobbies.

Joey I cannot thank you enough you have single handed inspired me to get myself into The freshwater hobby and I have no one else but you to thank for that, and I love seeing the growth of the gallery and the channel hope you keep on going and keep on striving

We just like watching you enjoy the hobby, however that is. Just love your channel and your passion. Your DIY is why we started watching. And huge projects aren't needed, I can't do huge projects as I'm sure most of your viewers can't. I enjoy the stuff I can do at home to improve my hobby. Keep it up Joey and put your happiness first. The rest will follow.

I loved going for the ride with you!!! I enjoy the “feature” videos but I love the more clog style even if they are short! It much more fun I can’t wait to get caught up on everything that’s is happening!!! KZread is sooooooo far behind lol! Love your content, enthusiasm, and passion!!

The knowledge and increased joy that we get from your videos is because of the real you that drew us in and became our friend. I love your content in every way you present it. Do what makes you happy and all your friends will stick around. no matter where you decide to go i'll keep watching... BTW we are already at 13K when I am commenting so... lol I guess we know that we love you!! Mahalo and Aloha

Dude, iv’e watched you from the start Jesus it’s been a very long time, when I say this I speak on behalf of most of your fan base do what feels right for you and makes you happy because as long as you are happy you are giving out the best content for this hobby. Basically we love you

Well said, I've been here since the DIY overflow video and the high energy vlog Joey videos are this channel at its best

Just do it Joey. I loved seeing all the little things, the ideas, the small details, it’s what created your channel. It’s thanks to you that I am able to afford to keep as many fish as I have, as healthy as I have. My best tanks have some of your DIY creations. I still remember your videos covering your past and seeing where you are now. It’s because of videos like those that we all felt welcomed and free to share our thoughts with you. I hope you can rekindle your flame with KZread.

Hey Joey. I have been following you for years. What ever you decide we are with you. Keep up the good work

Full send man we’re all behind you. You’re my favorite fish keeper I’ve ever watched. Your videos are how I learned about fish keeping and howI grew my love for fish. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and the hobby as a whole.

I just love watching you talk about fish.

Joey i love your video's but I really like your old way of just taking us through what your doing day ro day. If it wasn't for you I would have never got any tanks now I have three with my best being my 90 gallon peacock tank which I would have never done didn't even know about them untill you so thank you so much for getting me into the hobby

KZread is a place where a creator can really get to know and immerse themselves with the content of their creator. Being able to bring us into your hobby even down to the minutiae of fish keeping allows us to level with you and your content further. Do whatever makes you happy because at the end of the day we're all here for you and your hobby. Bring back the old DIY Joey! We don't mind at all

Be the Joey you need to be. You are an excellent example of sharing what you love. I really enjoy daily videos.

It's good to see that you seem to be on track again, to see that sparkle and joy.

Joey! You could make a video cleaning cat turds out of the litter box and we'd be here for it! 😂 I've loved you and followed you for soooo many years! I'm here supporting you no matter what you do! Love it all 🥰🥰🥰💙🐟💦

Keep going Joey! You do you and I personally will enjoy the ride!

Me and my kids have always loved watching your videos. Do what makes you happy. Because the happy Joey is the one we like to watch. You make learning how to keep fish and breathe fish and DIY for fish fun. You've come a long way. Sometimes you got to go full circle. Keep being you.

You are the reason I discovered Fishtube. Your passion is unmatched and continues to be a spot of sunshine in the hobby for me when I need inspiration!

I think you need more projects, those are always my favorite. The indoor concrete tank was awesome watching, maybe a gallery expansion in the future?

Love to see you make it the old way! But when it comes down to it you have to do what makes you happy! Love what ever you do!

I have watched your videos basically since you started posting them. I just want to let you know i absolutely love and appreciate everything you do. I will continue to watch no matter what type of video's you upload. Watching your new videos has become a routine in my household. Thanks for all you do.

Keep doing what makes you happy! Learned a lot from your older videos….always go back to the old stuff!

Joey, I've been with you since you were still building the 2000G aquarium. I've seen all the highs and lows since then and throughout all of it I've been so engaged and interested in it that it made me re-discover my love for this hobby. I cannot thank you enough for the positive impact you have had on me, and on other members of the community who value your expertise and compassion for this hobby. We all love you. I will not lie, however, that the last couple of years the experience on the channel hasn't been as engaging as it was before the pandemic when, like you said, you were doing "blog-esque" videos. Over the years I noticed how less and less videos were uploaded to the channel and it didn't bother me, the content was engaging and I understand how life can be. Then after a while it felt like more fun content was being published on other platforms like Insta or on a livestream, and the channel itself was missing out on that fun/updates. Now with the release of this video I know why that was the case, and I completely understand. If you're not engaged with the content you're producing, then why bother? I get it. At the end of the day this is your channel; you run it how you want to, and as long as you're engaged, comfortable, and having fun then the rest of us will be too.

I started watching you maybe 6 years ago. I've seen the highs and lows that you have shared with us and feel that I know you quite well, you make such great videos, I love the DIY videos and I love the science ones, but ultimately I love watching you have fun with the hobby, after all that's why we do it....so do what you feel is right, 1.4 million followers.....you are doing something right.

Don’t quit KZread! I’ve learned so much and got into this hobby because of your videos. The diy aspect of the channel gave me and I’m sure a lot of people ideas and better ways to change the hobby! Go with whatever makes you happy!

you were one of the reasons I got into the hobby with all the knowledge I have gained from your channel! I hope you stay I enjoy all your videos!

Hey, as a long time viewer from the scrawny joey days, youve never changed. I like what youve done. How youve grown. Your just awesome with what you do. Dont worry about what anyone says. You will never please everyone. But you always inspire someone. I loved all your old and new vids. Dont think ive missed a vid from before the days of old shed builds and the constant flooding of your basement. (Which we all know didnt stop. Lol) but do what you enjoy. Ive missed seeing your vids. Your vids were always something to look forward to. No matter what it was about. Those who care, wont freak out about any silly, informative, diy builds, etc. Alot of us true viewers watch it no matter what. :) you always help me in certain things in the hobby. And ive copied some of your ideas at times to. Just wish i could go out and build alot more things like you do. You have my dream for fish keeping. :)

What ever you do we are with you ❤️

One thing I love is sitting down on the weekend after work and checking up on the KZread feed and seeing you made a new video, I love this stuff and I look forward to seeing the vlogs!

I love all the projects of old joey! YES!

the heat difference between the thermostat temperature and the tanks is simply a mixture of heat rises so higher tanks will be warmer and to do with all plugged in devices creating heat (lights/pumps etc) when turn on. All tanks will be slighter cooler once all the tank and room lights turn off. The tank led lights generate a 3--5 degrees more heat when turned on in my fish room too.

Joey actually here in Asia keeping goldfish in warm temperature is way more preferred than cooler temperatures, but I think that's because they were raised in warm temperature when they were bred as for your place they might have been raised in cooler temperatures.

I missed the old style of videos and will be happy to see them come back

Yes please love the old format, please bring it back. Very much miss the old format, I learnt so much 💗🤗🌻

Do what makes Joey happy! we will watch!

I have to say asside from all the great info and living vicariously through you, your passion for the hobby is why I am here. Do what makes you happy and keeps that fire burning inside you. I appreciate not just the information and learning but also the entertainment. You are keeping my marriage peaceful. If you stop, I am going to have to start building more tanks all over my house. We are here for the fish, but we are also here to see you.

I love your deep dives into specific matters. I love learning about the different filter media, advice for new Fishkeepers, ideas on how to make water changes easier, everything about one specific fish (like frank lol,what they eat, how to sex, how to breed, recommendations on what should go in the tank)

I'm a fish keeper, I just like seeing the fish you keep, the aquarium's you keep them in and how they progress over time. Just keep showing them all! Thanks!

Joey I have learned SO much from watching your vids! I have only been around the hobby 6yrs and youve been an invaluable resource! Please keep going I love you man!!!

The hobby is fascinating, but Joey, you are the reason to watch. Your passion and excitement bring joy to see. Thank you

I’d love to see more of the diy videos. You have shown so much and would love to see what else you have in store for us. Keep up the great work Joey.

Hey man don't quit.... love your videos all the way from the beginning! Keep going - Keep showing us how you build all your fish stuff.

Joey you do have to do what makes you happy as a lot have already said ,I would still love to see your youtube videos. I look forward to keeping up with your latest project and the latest news in your world. You always bring a smile to my face and i adore your positivity in the hobby. I have learnt so much from your channel. Looking forward to seeing what's next for you.

You have to do what makes you happy. When you are doing things in a way that you enjoy it shows. I've always loved the natural energy and pure joy you share for the hobby.

I just enjoy coming along for the ride and enjoy your updates, I’ve learnt so much from your channel that has been a great help to me, happy to watch your channel with whatever makes you happy 👍😊

Joey I love watching you excited about whatever your doing!!! This hobby is forsure a favorite and I love keeping fish but I love watching your videos! To be honest my absolute favorite videos are the one where you diy anything!!! BBBUUUTTT watching you doing anything that you obviously really like are my favorite! It dosnt matter what you do do what makes you happy!

Joey you are the man do what makes you happy we're all here to support you.

Love you Joey. You’ve helped me so much in the hobby

It's amazing how times flies, even from this video til now. It's awsome and a privilege to see how you have evolved as well as your channel

Keep on doing what you LOVE

Will definitely be here in the future! Thanks for all you do

I discovered your channel a couple of years ago, I used to keep cichlids when I was a teenager in the uk and had to leave them behind when I moved to Australia . I’ve just started a new Malawi tank and loving it! Your videos were definitely a catalyst, you do what makes you happy bud 👍

Glad your coming back!!

Do what you love the most! I enjoy so much all that you do and I learn so much and get inspired. Thank you and don't stop pleeeze!

Please don’t go! I’ve only been in the hobby for 10 months but passionately for 4, and I owe a lot of that to you and other youtubers. Your content is fun even when you are just rambling about the things that happened to you even when they don’t go right. You are REAL and we like that. Keep them coming.

I will support you regardless of what you want. :) You are the reason i felt comfortable making my own sump, drilling my aquarium. running a fully planted aquarium and only needing to top the water off because levels wouldn't go up was virtually self sustaining. I love it and love all videos you make.

Personally I enjoy all your videos, but the ones you first done were what made me start following you in the first place. All the DIY stuff helped me in the hobby, with out your videos personally I wouldn’t have been able to afford to buy all the stuff needed. So thank you!

So glad to be seeing the return of the original Joey! Glad you've done an update cuz it's been a while since I've tuned in. Big or small I loved your videos and am glad to be seeing you again.

I watch every video you post so whatever you do I’ll continue to watch! The diy stuff is great but seeing the progress of your tanks is prob my fav. Don’t stress it too much! You’ll still have dedicated viewers whatever you choose! 💕 Also as someone who had a rough upbringing as well, you are an inspiration

I really appreciate the fact that you're keeping more 'normal' fish for us regular hobbyists, I love red eye tetra and in fact have a school of 8 right now, I feel they are a very under-apriciated fish, and love to see them in huge numbers in your piranha tank :D
