It's 2022 and Aquarium Co-Op is Getting a BIG Makeover [Fish Store Tour]

‎ It's time for the first "official" Aquarium Co-Op store tour of 2022, led by Cory himself. A LOT has changed since last year, like the bigger boxes for the betta fish rack. a new retail store manager named Brandon, and the ongoing renovations to expand our floor space by 3x. Cory rarely gets to spend time in the retail store nowadays, so he discovered some new fish that he's never seen at the shop before, like the banded bushfish (Microctenopoma fasciolatum) and Corydoras amandajanea.

Hope you guys love this one. Cory and I have done this for so many years so we always try to shoot these tours differently. It’s been awhile since we showed the retail store off so.. here we go! If you guys and girls love to see things differently please let us know! I’ll be checking the replies.

I love that you treat your employees so well. I absolutely loved working in an LFS in my younger years but found out it wasn’t something I could support myself long term doing even managing the stores. I’ve always said if I could make a living wage doing it, it would be my dream job. Congrats to you on all your success and congrats to the lucky few that get to join you in it!

[michaelshaw]

Cory your combination of knowledge, dedication, determination, work ethic, and total love of every aspect of the aquarium hobby. Has only grown with the years. Your courage and commitment to educating and improving the hobby is unmatched.

[Samacama]

I grew up in Duvall Wa and now I’m in NW Montana but next time I’m in the area I am no doubt checking out your store! Thanks for all the info!

[yorkaquariums]

Those Gold Rams are the healthiest looking Rams I think I've ever seen at a store be it local or chain. They look great! Great video guys! I really like the way you do things for the hobby and business as well.

[jamesholbrook]

Following you for several years has been a delight. I have truly been blessed watching you and the coop grow as you maintained your integrity and priorities. Such a rare thing in today’s world. Thank you for proving you can make a company based on molding it to your values and not Vice versa.

brand new to the fish community but ive been binge watching this channel! total game changer

[leedoggy]

I plug this company and Cory's show virtually on a daily basis on the FB fishkeepers pages I'm part of. By far the most helpful videos I've watched. Sometimes I even have the shows on as background while I'm doing chores or just visiting. And quite often find myself rewatching videos even. I see the shirts hanging in the shop with the aquarium co-op logo and I WANT at least one. A large part of my passion for this hobby is due to Cory and aquarium coop. How do I get one of those awesome shirts??

*I can’t wait to see when the retail store expansion is completed!! 🤩🙌*

[jessicafrederick]

I love watching the process of y’all growing and all of the behind the scenes of the expansion. I’m always into seeing quality footage of the fish in store tours. I am most excited for the new Murphy tank! He’s gonna be even happier and more handsome💕

[sharonjack]

I REALLY enjoyed this video. LOVE seeing all the fishees and Cory's commentary. I have learned the hard way, to pace myself when working/cleaning fish tanks. Fish fascinate so many of us and we like to see them happy. Taking time to stare at them and just enjoy them often really helps balance us out. Keeps burnout at bay. LOVE this kind of video, Cory and Jimmy!! Made my day!! USA

[bwxfyrm]

That aquarium coop air pump has everything you would ever need in a air pump good job guys you guys are thinking of everything love that

[kurtisstutzman]

Wish I was closer... Sarasota, Florida is almost as far away as possible, "with that being said" my orders generally arrive in 3 business days & that's AWESOME...! Congrats Cory...! And ALL of the gang that makes it possible...! Thanks & keep up the awesomeness...!

[WishIWasBouguereau]

once my tank is cycled I am going over there and buying one of your bettas- I could literally cry seeing them so well taken care of, its such a stark difference from the dirty and dying ones in petco/petsmart. I literally can't wait to bring my new friend home!!

[alisonnicholson]

Always love seeing Murphy. Hes adorable. The store is absolutely amazing. Love seeing what's going on, really appreciate these tours. Great stuff Cory and Jimmy. Appreciate you guys hard work and taking time to show us the tanks and the amazing fish. You have really helped and educated new fish keepers like myself. Thank you
P.s just leave me in the betta section. I'd be in my element🤣

[jademiller]

I'm so excited for the store to get a big makeover, I'm a local from Bothell and I've visited Aquarium Coop a few times and I'm always impressed by the quality products and the upkeep of all the tanks! Many of my plants and almost all of my drift wood have been sourced from you and I can't wait to see how much awesome stuff you'll have when the store is expanded

[LivsTanks]

I really appreciate you being honest about stuff like “ I would never buy that” most people would try super hard to convince us it’s a crazy cool fish but you are honest and that’s awesome

[shesellsfish]

I love your store tours no matter how many times I see them. 30 x or 300 x I never get bored with the store tours.
👍❤👍

[its_hutch_]

Once the store expansion is all wrapped up I am going to make a trip and come visit. This looks incredible. I always enjoy the store tour videos. Wish we had something like that around here. Kinda inspires me to one day open my own.

[herbiecd]

I watched your videos and learned so much and just connected that you guys are only 30 minutes from us. We are definitely coming in to get some more fish! Amazing variety!
