I've never watched a 40 min video on just seeing different fish in my life... until now. This was just freaking awesome! I'd love to work there.

I am now 70 years old almost 71. My brother and I had for fish tanks full of fish and had a neighbor friend our age who also had quite a few fish tanks and another kid in the neighborhood we weren't friends with but also raised fish to sell. My brother and I and his friend John we just had fun with our fish the other neighbor boy sold some fish two friends but I don't remember too much about him. I had fish tank setup in my classroom through the years I don't have any fish at the moment. The reason I started to write this comment was because I wish I was 10 years old again at this time in the world where there's all this knowledge that can be gained from YouTube. My brother and I tried to read every fish book or magazine the Pittsburgh library could bring us to the bookmobile. There weren't any other places to learn about tropical fish. This is amazing and thank you so much for filming this video and posting it on YouTube I appreciate it and enjoyed watching it this evening thank you so much

I was born & raised in South FL in the 60's & 70's and had a fish farm very close by. They had their tropical fish in ponds and during the rainy season or a storm they would flood and release fish. The canals in the area were full of swordtails, mollies, goldfish, etc.!!! During big storms when the roads flooded, I'd take a net and catch fish out of the streets.... had a beautiful aquarium and didn't pay for a single fish.... caught them all out of the canals or street!!!

3 years too late but damn what a facility! The amount of fish and the coloring is amazing! Looks pretty low tech but it does the trick. All the little pieces of nature that just popped up between the holding tanks just gives this farm a very nice touch. I loved it!

Watching from Scotland. Seriously impressed with this guys knowledge, the amazing fish variety and sizes. The grounds. There's just so many boxes ticked here! I have never been so engaged in watching anything! Thank you to the guy who recorded it all beautifully and the amazing shots he got as well as the great questions. Seriously impressed. Subscribed and will be looking for more content like this. Longest review I've ever written but feel like it doesn't even come close to how much praise all this should get!

That facility is fascinating!! What a fish paradise! He knows his fish too! He's like, "Hey Hector what's going on with these guys?" and the reply is oh we ran out of such and such. He's very hands on and tuned in to what's goin on. Thanks for sharing this place with

[StiaT]

holy moly, that's what you call experience. The guy said that there were 60 in the bucket. I counted, it was 62 - more or less.

A few years ago I unknowingly contacted FEFS and was inquiring about visiting and purchasing fish as a beginner.  Rick got me in contact with the owner of the closest fish store they supply to and they both worked out a list for me. On his next shipment of fish to the store I had my own shipment separate with special reduced pricing. Such a great guy, he and his wife and such amazing fish. They are so passionate as well.  I have two 75 gallon tanks all Tanganyikan and all from Florida Exotic they are going strong and very very healthy. lots of babies since then too. lots of fun great hobby. Thanks FEFS oh the fish love the food as well.

[HowToFixPH]

The owner seems excited to share his knowledge. More blessings to that guy.

[TruthPrevail]

Looks like heaven. Watching the fish swim and sound of water makes you happy. Thanks for sharing.

Respect to this farmer how big heart he has explains everthing by heart

[kasunrajapaksha]

This blew me away, wow, I'm new to Cichlid, these fish are really nice. Thanks a lot for spending time to take us around all around the world into these farms.

[OrangeYoshi]

Awsome video! As a lfs owner of over 22 years it makes me so happy to see people in my industry still loyal to the independent shops and not just undercutting them by selling online. Great people!

[Ricantarantulaboss]

This is awesome. I love watching videos like this. I grew up watching different types of videos with my father, but I’ve never saw this that you shake the mommy fish and all the Fishies come out first time for everything.

[MrGates-ykij]

Randy did a wonderful job with this video. He asked the right questions and got the perfect shots. Thank you for another awesome video!!!!

[jasonreding]

I cannot explain to you how much I enjoyed this video, I am a Rift Lake nerd and wish I could hit the like button 1000x. I like your channel regardless even though it doesn't gear towards what I keep and I like how you are showing so many different facets of the hobby. I have always said this is one of the most spectacular hobbies anyone can get into due to how diverse it is - I really appreciate you taking your time to get good video of Florida Exotic Fish Farm. Keep up the great work and all the best

Sir, I'm just a rookie with African cyclids, I have a couple of lemon cyclids that have taken me 3 times and I'm in love with these fish, watching this video has made me want to learn and raise them. Congratulations on having such beautiful fish. By the way I am Cuban from Cuba but I am writing in English so you can understand me perfectly.

[hrmna]

It's tremendously inspiring to see real passion in someone doing what they love.

Hey, Something Fishy in Cleveland was mentioned at the end of this video. I go there and it is a great place just south of DT Cleveland. Also purchased a 150G aquarium from the owner Dave.

[jackadair]

The fact that literally every inch of that place is sprawling with fish with some not even in the tubs is both hilarious and fascinating to me. Beautiful fish, and very eye opening!
