    Nick; I must say this was an excellent video. The mans' fish room is amazing, but what really stands out is you. You, not one time, dominated the tour. Unlike in the US, where the person conducting the tour, tends to take over, and will not shut up. You asked questions, talked very little, and allowed him to show and explain his fish room. That alone made it a very great tour. But you acted like an interested fellow fish keeper who wanted to learn something new. It was great, be proud! Thank you.

    Nick, This man is keeping one of the top fish rooms in the world. Please help him reach the fish keepers who are enthusiastic about his skills. He absolutely must have a CZcams presence.

    Not gonna lie I’m not the biggest fan of the channel but this has seriously been the best fish room tour I’ve ever seen on CZcams. Hats off to you brother keep it up. This was a masterpiece.

    Just WOW. I mean it when I say - this is the best fish tank related video I've seen. No super fast editing, no loud music, no "showoff" egos, not a single cringe joke. Just absolute fans of this hobby sharing their passion. I couldn't help but smile throughout the whole video. I would love to spend hours in this place! Haha
    Anyways, thank you so much and greetings from Czechia!

    This man Adrian, got to be one of the nicest and happiest fish person out there. He got some brilliant, beautiful and amazing setups! He has every reason to be proud of his work and Look forward to seeing/ hearing more of his work in future Videos! please do a revisit when he has those ponds build! His house and Yard is what I dream of having one day as well! So happy to see people out there that shares an equal interest in plants, fish and birds! Thank you for this amazing video!

      Right?! At 44:22 I paused to look at his pegboard/work bench and said aloud: "Wait-is that a *washing machine* ?! Is this HIS HOUSE??"
      Then a few seconds later 44:31 clearly shows a garage bay door I hadn't even noted earlier and I-😲🙆😍

    Absolutely one of my favorite Fish Room Tours on CZcams, hands down. Just love seeing someone communicate their passion without exuberant, frenetic expressions. I've been doing this hobby for 30 years and hope I'm on track to match this level of passion in another 15 years!

    @johnh539 Před rokem +1

    Too many times you get the feeling that people's tanks are full of fish because they spend a fortune on new fish it is lovely to see someone who is clearly is keeping his tanks perfectly 10out of 10 excellent fish keeping

  • @rickspringer4814
    @rickspringer4814 Před rokem +2

    I honestly put off watching this video for quite awhile because there are just so many fish room tours and very few of them hold your attention after the first ten minutes. But I have to say, this was probably the top fish room tour I've seen. And it's not just the tanks and the fish themselves, but the editing style. Excellent use of third person camera, excellent use of b roll footage, and just excellent choice of content. Bravo sir.

  • @kirani111
    @kirani111 Před rokem +1

    -Doesn't show off his fish room outside of family
    -It's a nicer and better stocked fish room than 99% of aquarium stores out there
    Love this guy haha! Does it all for the love of fishkeeping. Wish he had an internet-savvy nephew who got into the hobby with him and also shared it online, lol.

  • @mperry2906
    @mperry2906 Před rokem +11

    Thank you for showing us this beautiful collection. Adrian’s love of nature and gentle spirit shines through. Imagine that “nobody has shown an interest” in seeing his fishroom before! Amazing!

  • @ulhas2637
    @ulhas2637 Před rokem +5

    Looking at the duration of the video I thought I wil just play and skip the video in few mins... As I experienced in other other fishroom studios.
    But with this one, I couldn't believe that I didn't took a pause and felt the video was small to the amount of interest and life this guy has put into the aquarium and fish hobby.
    I must say, all the aquariums were so much alive and engaging than those sparkle clean glass boxes which are being promoted nowadays through brand sponsored channels.
    Thank you very much for your efforts and time to showcase this fish room tour. 👍🏻

  • @marleeradford1277

    The modesty and devotion are touching and stand out in such a gloriously stunning room. I wish I had a an iota of his plumbing skills. And even the black worm culture tank is beautiful. So glad he welcomed us all in to share. Thank you both.

    That is the best video you've ever posted - and you've posted some awesome content. You are brilliant, and so is your channel (I'm a huge, huge fan). Adrian perhaps influenced part of where your passion came from ( I don't know)...so, so cool. Well done both of you. Adrian needs his own channel too! You two could collaborate until the cows (fish!) come home!

    • @hamishchalmers7353

    Hands down you have the most beautiful fish room I've ever seen and I watch a lot of aquarium videos...

  • @b1oh1
    @b1oh1 Před rokem +1

    Shell dwellers are hands down my favorite type of fish. I currently only have Similis, multies, and Brevis. I want to get more Brevis and eventually do some blue and gold ocelottus.
    Btw, I think everyone should have an older fish friend in the hobby. I started a conversation with a fellow hobbyist on craigslist a few years ago. Now we talk and text everyday, go to fish shows together, trade plants and fry, and even hang out pretty regularly. I've learned from him, 20 years my senior, and he's learned from me.

  • @Piraterides2020
    @Piraterides2020 Před rokem +1

    One of my favourite fish room tours ever 😍
    Just wanted to pull up a couch and chill in that room before having dinner in the chillest dining room ever... 🤣😍😍
    Also, probably been said in the comments already,
    the wet feet on the peace lilly thing is they don't like suffocating in wet soil. In a tank with high dissolved oxygen they will thrive. Leant that through aquaponics and things people say you can't grow with"wet feet".
    Again this was awesome cheers 🍻

    Incredible. My favorite video ever. That gentleman has exceeded anything I could have ever imagined. What a paradise. I can not grasp how much work and thought that went into this utopia but I am sure it never felt like work to him.
    I would be remiss if I did not recognize and applaud how well you put this video together and just said enough to keep this amazing dialogue going.
    Thank you both.

    @johnbrand1893 Před rokem +1

    What an amazing tour around Adrian’s fish room, his outdoor ponds, birds and the tanks in his house.
    The fish room is spectacular, the tank setups, the variety of fish, the amount of fish he showed that were breeding was fantastic to see for sure, and the use of plants for filtering the water in the tanks and braking up that clinical look is genius. The hour and 4mins just flew by listening to what he had to say as he was showing you around. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  • @kinkykongai
    @kinkykongai Před rokem +1

    This is the best fish room tour I've ever seen! I don't typically like them at all and this one had me hooked and a little jealous! The skill and dedication is obvious but I loved his terminology about other fish rooms being "too clinical" - that's exactly it! His tanks look so natural because he doesn't nit-pick, nature is imperfect and that's what makes it perfect. Love the use of natural materials he has prepared and harvested, love the use of plants and the ecosystems he has created without harsh over management or overuse of excessive tech. I also loved your skill as the camera man, and the way you asked questions but also let him show and explain. You didn't try to steal the spotlight and overshadow him but you had enough presence and asked questions on point!

    I don't think I've ever watched a full hour video on youtube and not either lost interest or just gave up on it, that was an awesome walkthrough! Truly an epic fishroom and setup as well as the knowledge obviously learned over a long period of experience trial and learning, super cool video mate 😁 one day I'll convice the wife to let me set up the garage like this (here's hoping 😂)
    Ps. Very very very keen to see Eliza's works after the seeing these exceptional fish so I hope that comes to fruition 😁

Thank you Adrian for letting us into your home to see your amazing setup and collection. I never gave it a second thought about where in the world my favourite fish originated but I find it fascinating! Thank you for adding to my interest in this hobby!
