  • In this video we join Finn and Marina at Atlas Aquariums to add some (very expensive) fish into their incredible sloped river tank! These aren't just any fish though - they can't be imported into Australia, and we have very limited supply, which has driven up the price of these fish dramatically compared to many other places in the world.

    Its crazy how expensive this hobby has become since covid. I used to have 6 tanks, 320 gallons and now i cant even get into it again. A 120 gallon in the US costs $500 now and i cant imagine how much the rest would cost me. Maybe in another lifetime.

    • @Kaityscichlids
      @Kaityscichlids  Před rokem +29

      Here in Australia we get a lot of people selling tanks secondhand on Gumtree and you can get some great deals. The brand new tanks are super pricey here though too

      @lacabanadesangre6179 Před rokem +14

      Here in Spain has got worse. It never was a cheap hobby but now everything is so expensive. Even a normal goldfish now costs like 5-10 € (5-10 $) when they used to cost cents. I talked with a shop owner and she told me that is because much commercial connections with Asia or other European countries have disappeared. It’s sad.

    • @eemiharma
      @eemiharma Před rokem +5

      Here in finland prices are about same than pre-covid but 120gal here still cost like 700-1000$ 😅

      @andreashessler838 Před rokem +3

      Plenty of well priced second hand tanks available (in the UK anyway). They do start to get a bit more expensive when you're going over 6', but they are out there.
      I would only ever buy a new tank if it was something specific that I really wanted. They depreciate like nothing else.

      blue and green phantom are very very hard to breed. In Canada we have a club of several 1,000 members in Vancouver, BC and Alberta and many have advanced degrees in science. And can't breed them. Also, some of the plecos like the Royal takes decades to get to a large size.
