    ‎ Cory visited Aquahaus-Gaus, probably the largest African cichlid wholesaler on the planet with more than 2500 aquariums holding over 1 million liters of water. This warehouse also serves as a Malawi cichlid breeding facility and general fish store for the public. If you are looking for a specific African cichlid species, color variant, and size, they probably have it. Amazingly, this giant facility is technically a mom-and-pop store that is run by a husband and wife with only 3 employees. Find out how this small team is able to run such a high end and massive operation.

      The Lethrinops Red Caps. I really enjoyed this video as an African Cichlids keeper and would say that’s has to be the single best collection of those under one roof. Period.

      @jawjagrrl Před rokem +1

      I used to be..mostly Mbuna. Really loved that one that I don't think got named, but it's head looked like rainbow sherbet. Never seen one anything like that before. Seeing adult demonsoni, etc was really great too.
      I wish there was a time machine to FF the US hobby somewhere remotely on the level of Europe and Asia.

    As a 30 yr mbuna keeper, I probably would have thought I died and went to heaven in that place. Thank you Corey. 😊

    This place has to be the best looking and cleanest breeding/wholesale/ fish store I’ve ever seen. It is beyond amazing and looks so relaxing too. Whoever owns that place gets a 10/10 for all their hard work. I’d be in my element looking at all those beautiful fish.

  • @sarahwoodring5587
    @sarahwoodring5587 Před rokem +27

    I'm stunned by how clean this facility is! I wonder how many hours per week those five people work to keep it looking like this?

  • @ryankursehuston
    @ryankursehuston Před rokem +5

    I’m in awe. This place is just incredible for anyone in the hobby. I’m sure those of us who don’t keep Cichlids can all still appreciate this impeccable facility.

  • @lyrieth8833
    @lyrieth8833 Před rokem +8

    That place looks so peaceful, I would just like to sit for an hour let the world melt away. Even if you don't keep or love cichlids they are still just beautiful. I love seeing these kinds of videos.

    African Cichlids have been the coolest Fish I’ve kept, it’s been years though, have Salt Water now, but man… they have the best personality, easy to keep, easy to breed! 💯👏🏽

  • @StrikesPerception
    @StrikesPerception Před rokem +5

    This looks really good. I have kept almost all the fresh water fish and never seen something that big, clean and well-orginized.
    I am sure they worked very hard to make this place look good like that.

      You should look at some of the other store tours from his German trip. Made me quite jealous as an American hobbyist, especially seeing US brands marketing things I was to the Euro market and not offering for sale domestically.

    @justme.9711 Před rokem +4

    Hey Cory, the way they have it set up with the timers and every other thing they do would be a GREAT info vid for people to use in their home set ups or fish rooms/garages and allow people to have more tanks/fish because it's more efficient.

I have to get my African cichlids online… I have been secretly hoping you would dabble in African Cichlids in the expanded store. This video is feeding in to my hopes!

    been keeping African Cichlids since the mid 70's. I have never ever seen anything like that here in the States. a real shame that we have nothing even close to that. All the good stuff is all going through Europe first. We can't even get some species here. I'm into Tanganyikians about the past 25 yrs or more and some of the rarer Petrochromis are very difficult to get now here yet I see the European folks posting all the time on FB all the good stuff.
