I tried to save this fish's life... The king of DIY saves a stingray in an aquarium

The king of diy got a call from his local fish store stating freshwater stingray was in trouble and needed Joey’s help. Of course he jumped in his car and headed there immediately to try to save the life of this fish.

The king of DIY aquarium projects, education and inspiration!

I got to watch this in person and almost got to help but as you saw Joey didn’t have to remove the Ray from the tank. What you didn’t get to see was Joey moving quickly to assess the situation and come up with an action plan to minimize the risk to the Ray. Mad respect Joey, you walk the walk when the camera isn’t rolling.

You know Joey loves his hobby and fish when he drivers an hour and a half away to help Jeff remove a barb from a sting ray :D so much respect for this guy been watching you for nearly 5 years Joey :D Thank you for helping. Like Joey said, so important take the fallen barbs out of the tank when they drop, and they don't always need substrate

[daemonember]

I'm glad he's better and on the way to recovery. Hopefully, he gains the weight back quickly.

[joeylovegrove]

That fish acted like it knew you were trying to save it and it let you take the barb out

[fishypetkeeping]

So much respect. You really handled this the best way possible, and because of that, you saved this ray's life.

[setyahartade]

[GBLecci]

[Elaine_P_Smith]

I hope that the stingrays okay and healthy. You did a wonderful thing by saving the fish. You know what you're doing when it comes to fish and fish care.
I absolutely love your videos.

Love that Jeff calls Joey to come help

[wolffriendinus]

The ray saw you and said "Dad's here to save me". That's why it was so easy I think, he recognized you.

[philstarkey]

Might sound weird, but it was almost as if he recognized you and that you were there to help. The way he swam in the net and up the side of the tank.

This is awesome. Most people would have thrown the fish away or just let it die. Joey comes in and saves the day, shows he really cares about every fish out there. I used to struggle with depression alot, and i got my first tank and started feeling alot better, like i had a purpose and fun taking care of fish. Makes me supper happy to have people in this hobby that truly care about what they do.

Super rad video! Loves this type of content! And awesome the random guy was down and ready to jump in help!

[meganemmahumphreys]

I appreciate you so much running to save an animals life, you are the best

[risky]

Dr. Joey....you the Vet, bro! Nice work! 👏

[Xhal]

Stingrays are very hard to breed and there is plenty that literally are in just large tanks that have no substrate or anything. Just look em up, Joey knows what he is talking about among many others.

[DanandJazz]

Honestly, this is genuinely interesting and really well filmed. Crazy you did this on the fly.

[ohrats]

That turned out like most things that I get worried about lol. Like “omg this is going to be terrible, I have to prepare for the worst!” *Easily gets fixed* “Oh. Huh.”

So glad it turned out fine 😌

Your like the Steve Irwin of the fish world, your knowledge for these phenomenal animals is amazing. Thank you for saving this big guys life.
