Buying EXOTIC Saltwater FISH for My 4000G POND!!

That thing is crazy looking. Look at the batfish. I walked by this tank 10 times, I didn't see this fish. This fish is $7,000. Oh wow. And I see some tangs that I have never seen before. $3,000. Oh! Look at how beautiful this thing is. We're back. Another stream is happening. My live streams have been absolutely buck mama wild lately, and y'all have been loving them. This time, August 23rd. It's gonna start at 11am. It'll probably be like an 8-hour stream, okay? This is gonna be a fire stream. We're auctioning off a ton of different reptiles, all of which are starting at $1. It's actually going to be insane. Giveaways every 10 minutes, so if you don't want to buy a reptile, just tune in and be there, because you can win free stuff. All those goods are gonna be completely free as the stream goes on. A giant chicken. The world's largest gecko right here. The leachianus. And we've got a beautiful lily white. I'm telling you folks, you're not gonna want to miss the stream. All you gotta do is go to the link in the description, click that link, bookmark the stream, and if you bookmark it, you'll be notified when we go live on the 23rd. Like I said, 11am, Eastern Standard Time. Do not miss it. All the animals have been vetted for good husbandry. We've been watching them, making sure they're eating, and a lot of these have been with us for months now. So we're super excited. Yeah, they're fat. They're all nice and fat. We'll see you there. Bookmark the stream, link in the description. Big shout-out to Palm Street. Thanks for, uh, yeah, allowing us to go live yet again. Bad luck for seven years if you miss the stream. Oh my goodness. Seven years? Make it eight. Be there or be square. We're here inside Top Shelf, boys and girls. What is going on, fellas? Welcome back to another video. Starting it off in the store. My guys behind me here. Jed, we got Jed, we got Geo. This is the, uh, this is the squad today. Yeah, long time no see. We definitely didn't just drive two and a half hours together. It's been a minute. It's been a little bit. I got something new. Yeah? In this one. Let's see it. Oh! Yes. You did get the mint. You got the new flavor, bro. It just came in this morning. Oh, heck yeah. Mango is here, baby. Banana bags. These are the new bags. Look at the new bags. They're so much better. And they're actually getting a little bit different touch up on the bottom. We're fixing it up a little bit. But yes, zesty bites are here, baby. Got them all. Let's go. Of course, every time we come here to Top Shelf, there's a lot of aquariums here. And I really never know what to expect, as they bring in some of the craziest fish. As a matter of fact, take a look at this. That's some of the new fish they just got right here, getting ready to go in. Can I see something cool? Yeah. I would absolutely love to see something cool. Let's see it. So this is for my personal tank. Oh, snap. Honestly, this is the first time I've seen one in store, one of those purple blue frogs. What the heck? Yes. Yeah. He's cool. What? It's so hard to see him. Yeah. But look at him in there. That's sick. Technically, they're purple sea slugs. Here's a picture. Boom, right there. There you go. I have one of the varicose wart nudibranchs in the 80 gallon. How do they do? Just need to make sure they have stuff to eat, right? Sponges, mostly. That's awesome. I thought you would think it was cool. If I worked here, man, I would be bad. I'd be really bad if I had a job here. I'm not any better. So it's OK. But yes, folks, you really never know what to expect. They have a ton of new fish. They just got some new stuff in. And I see some tangs that I have never seen before. Like this one right here. This is $3,000 for that tang. And you look at it, and you're like, dang, it really doesn't even have any crazy color. But it's the fact that it's all multi like that. Dude, one day you can wake up, and it'll just be even more drastic, right? Yeah, it can change. So what's crazy is I have this one. This one's 3K. This is the cheapest of the three koi tangs I have right now. These are called blue face scopus tangs. I usually don't bring them in because it's really just the face. It's nothing too extreme. It's hard to get top dollar for them. But the two that I have have a lot of blue in their body. This one is decent. The other one, though, it's like the whole fish is blue. Let's go. So you see how this one's like just that patch is normal. Everything else is blue. It's head's really blue. And the eyes are crazy popping orange. So that one's 4K. So extra $1,000 bucks. Extra $1,000 buckarooskies for this one. I got one for $4,000. They're pretty. $4,000 for that. Some of them come yellow, and then with the white pie, is that just a different kind of koi tang? Yeah, they're different types. They come from different locations. The blue-faced scopus are the most common ones. I do have one normal koi tang, which is yellow. I didn't know tangs could be so crazy until recently. The top shelf's been bringing in some crazy stuff. This one's 10K. What? So you have it here? Let's go. I have seen people buy these $10,000 tangs, and then, bro, one day they just wake up, and the tang is all yellow. So we sold one. Imagine, 10 grand on a fishing. It looks like a normal yellow after. So I sold one for $17,000. It was a sailfin tang that was a koi tang. This fish was all white when we sold it. It almost looks normal now. Polo Reef, you know him? So he paid $40,000 for his. If you remember, guys, I went and saw Andrew's massive... I mean, the aquarium he has is unlike anything else or anyone else I've ever been to. This place is crazy. I did make a video fully touring his entire basement side of where that tank is and how it runs. It's crazy the team he has just to keep that aquarium looking the way it does. So he paid $40,000 for his koi sailfin because that thing was basically white when he bought it. If you go watch all his videos now, it's like just the eyes are white, and then it's like a normal fish after that. Oh my gosh, imagine. Imagine. Terrible lighting down here. Terrible lighting in the sump area. But you can see he's got yellow in the belly. There's like frosted tips in his dorsal fins. Yeah, he's got like orange frosted tips. So, so unique, bro. Wow. So that one's 10 grand. White tail. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I sold one last week for $14,000 and then... Dude, what is going on? Are you hiring? You got a commission? Can I help you out? And then two weeks ago, we got one for $20,000. Wow. Well, I'll tell you what. I'll give you 10 grand for this one right now. So next week, $30,000? Nope. Nailed ya. Regardless of all the crazy tangs they've got, let's see what other fish they have so that we know what we could take home today. That says sold to PC. Okay, so apparently... I'm not gonna show you the fish just yet. I would just... I gotta hold the surprise. But Greg, big shout out to Greg. Greg got me this fish. Sold to PC. Right there. No, no, not yet. Look at that fish. Look at this little guy right here. He's so cute. The long fin clowns are still here. Or those are just a new pair. I don't know. Maybe the other ones haven't sold yet. Purple tang, little purple tang. Down beneath is a lionfish. Look at the little pajama right there. And a yellow tang hiding in the back. I can't really get to him. Let's see. Come on, buddy. Show yourself. Thank you very much. Yellow tang. There is another gem tang right here. We've got some cleaner wrasse, some butterflies of some sorts, a bunch of different tangs. Oh, my goodness. Look at that. Gosh, these are insane. Look at the pattern. I mean, that's just unlike anything. These are definitely from Pro Aquatics. If you all remember Flash It Back time, we also had visited Pro Aquatics where they actually breed all of these clown morphs. And then they ship to here, Top Shelf. All this is aquacultured. Super, super cool facility they have. And we've made videos there in the past. Some really cool frigging trigger fish. Look at that guy. Look at him. Oh, and he's going into Spongebob. So if you look right here, we've got a male swallowtail. This is the male version. And then if you would turn to the side, you'd show you all these stripes. But that's the female in the back right there. They look so different from both genders. Boom, one. And then you look to the left and bam. Turn yourself. That's the male. Look at that difference right there. Harlequin tusk right here. Another tang. We've got a fox face. In the back we have a, look it, Mrs. Puff. Lots of different wrasses over here. And gobies and stuff like that. A monster French angel. Y'all know we have a big French angel in our pond. Not this big. But my reef pond does have a nice French angel fish in it. They did just get a bunch of new fish in here. But I can't get in there with my camera because of how big it is. So here's an iPhone clip of all the crazy new fish they've got. Guys, I've walked by this fish a few times like off camera just kind of looking at the tanks. What am I going to get? Thinking what the heck am I going to get? This thing is beautiful. But dude, no, this. This right here. Every time I walk around the tank, he follows me. He's been following me everywhere I go. I think you have two of those, right? Yeah, I have a few of them. But not with the streamers. Look at the streamers on this thing. I remember. I gave you a little one of them. It's gorgeous. I still have that sucker. And he's grown a lot. But not with the streamers, dude. Look at that. That's epic, bro. I might have to see if Jed will do a deal on that. Because that's $1,000. But that's just gorgeous, man. Wow. But yours will get streamers. Eventually. But this one already has them. We're in the back right now. Jed had one more expensive fish to show us. This is a fish we have never brought into the store. I've sold it multiple times. But it's always been a drop ship. Never been here. I don't think ever feature on this channel ever. This fish is $7,000. $7,000? Oh, I know what it is. What is it? It's a Dr. Seuss soapfish. Yep. It's kind of hard to see. But let me see it. Are you going to take it out right now? Let's open it. Oh, wow. Dude. $7,000? Yeah. I couldn't ever spend that if I even had it. Wow. If I was a millionaire, I don't even think I'd buy that. Why is that so much money, can I ask? It's a deep water fish. It's super rare. Fellas. Let me shine a light. Wow. Look at that. That's crazy looking. See the spots on the side? It looks like a snook. Wow. Dr. Seuss. Miss that deuce. Ha, ha. $4,000. $7,000. Sorry. Wait. So these things secrete a toxin that can nuke the entire tank. So you're telling me that thing wants to secrete randomly. It'll kill everything else that's in the tank. Yeah. So they're called a soapfish. And it's like a mucusy slime coat. Makes sense. Soapfish. Yeah. And it gets really foamy and bubbly. And basically, when they secrete that, it's super toxic and can just kill everything. That's really a smart investment for someone that owns an aquarium. Let me buy a $7,000 fish that could kill everything. What the heck? I walked by this tank 10 times. I didn't see this fish. I think it's insane. It's very similar to the broomtail wrasse. Yeah. But as it gets older, this whole area gets super, super bright red. Dude, that is insane. It's called a red-breasted Maui wrasse. Red-breasted Maui wrasse. That thing is nuts. It reminds me of the broomtail a lot. My broomtail, to be quite frank with you guys, absolutely just disappeared. It was doing good. It ate really, really good. And then, gone. You know what happened? Tessellata Eel and the predatory smoked him. Unfortunately, it just happens every once in a while. And the broomtail was a part of his diet for the day. This reminds me of that fish. Regardless of that, that is gorgeous. I have not done much with coral lately. I'm sorry for the lighting ahead of time. But my aquarium inside is just looking spectacular. And now, I think, is the time where I can kind of take a step back and see what kind of coral I want to introduce to this tank. Now that it's like fully established. It's been cycling for years. I'm not even kidding when I say years with a Y. Yes, years. Torches might be right around the corner. And looking at them here at Top Shelf, they have some of the most beautiful, beautiful frags of torches. At some point, that is definitely a move. I want to come back and get torches. Comment down below. Let me know what kind of corals, torches, whatever it may be, I should get for my 300-gallon aquarium inside the house. If there's anywhere to do the coral shopping, though, I'll tell you what. Top Shelf is definitely the place to go. And look at this. Look at all the corals. There's just, you name it, guys. Just, holy smoke. Just absolutely insane. Like, holy smokes. I'm going to lose it. All right. Now, back to what we were talking about when we first started and walked in here. What is the Miniatus Sold PC? Holy smokes. Take a look. The Miniatus Grouper. An absolute beautiful fish. And I cannot wait to get this thing back to the shark or predatory. I don't know which one I want to put it in. Shark or predatory. One of the two, though. One of the two. Leaning more towards predatory because the Saddleback Groupers are in there. And I would love to move all three of them at the same time as they grow up a little bit. Let me take care of this. Jed, hurry up. Take a picture. Jed, get your phone. Oh, my. Jed. I thought you were putting it in the bag after I did it. You're holding that side of the tube. That was bad. I'm drenched. The only task now is to get this grouper into there without getting even more wet than I already am. Let's get this trigger out. Put the trigger in there. There we go. Let's see it. Holy smokes. Brother, look at the colors now that he's out. He's lit up. Wow. The grouper is in the bag and he is fired up. Fired up. Air filling. Our Miniatus grouper is completely bagged up with air and oxygen, ready to go home. We have a two and a half hour ride completed. What a trip to Top Shelf yet again. I also did get this Naso Tang, but that is all on my Snapchat. So, if you haven't added my Snapchat, make sure to go to the link in the description, click the link, or add me at Juno Paul. I film certain things exclusively only for Snapchat. If you haven't added me, go add me. I got a big Naso Tang going over into the reef pond on Snapchat. I got one more thing. What? I want to get rid of this thing. One more thing. Alright. So, I posted a video. I think the last video we did together. I posted a video. There's a catfish in this video. Every single comment on that video was, you got to get Paul that shark, or the catfish. You got to get him the catfish. 50,000 likes, he's going to come back and get this black Aussies Hale catfish. There's only like 12 in the country, so it's a pretty cool fish. Holy smokes. Yeah, guys, smash that like button. He wants to go home. He's fired up, dude. That thing is crazy looking. My goodness. Look at that. What does it eat? Does it eat silver sides? What do you think you throw in there? Just a catfish. Yeah, it's just a catfish. Bro, that thing is so sick. Look at it. He like just ate the sand. Bro, look at him. I think he's spitting it out to make like a hole. Wow, that is really, really dope. Jed, is that full grown? Yeah. They get huge. They get big. You heard it here, folks. Smash the like button at 50k. We're going to come back, and we'll get this super rare catfish. With that said, now, back on the road. We're back, and we're inside the fish building right now. We just got home. We have our grouper acclimating. I have came to a final decision. I want him inside of the predatory pond because the saddleback are in here, and the saddleback have grown drastically, so this grouper is about the same size as them. They'll all get along, hopefully, and then as a whole group, we're going to move them into the shark pond eventually, but they can have a lot of time to grow in here. I can focus more on them and their growth. In there, there's a lot more fish. It's harder for them to eat, so I want them to eat as much as possible. Predatory has won over the vote on where we were going to put it. It was between the shark pond and the predatory, and here we are, predatory pond. I also just emptied out this QT pond earlier today. We had a couple of fish in here. The green moray eel went inside the shark pond. Here's a clip of him swimming around. He got flipping massive, by the way. He grew like three times the size. Actually, right next to us here is the bumblebee grouper. He's looking about my hand already. He's gotten pretty thick and solid, but he's floating around inside of the predatory pond now. Same container. I probably should upgrade that soon, but he's still got a lot of room in there. Now I've got the grouper acclimating, and this is ready to go in here any minute. Paul, what are you doing with the QT pond? I honestly don't know. It's probably going to be moved because we're doing a really big pond right here eventually. This is going to be a big pond. I don't know. I'm still 50-50. I don't really know, but the filter broke on it, so I was like, I'm just going to wait a little bit, take the fish out that could easily be moved, and I'll figure out what to do with it later. All right, fellas. You know what time it is. Drum roll, please. It's time to get our miniatus grouper into the pond. All right, folks. I don't know about you, but that's crazy. Look at the colors. Look at the colors on that thing. I mean, I don't know about you, but that's a pretty beautiful-looking fish. They start pretty small, too. Thankfully, we got them at a larger size. This is a species of coral grouper. It spends a lot of time, like most grouper, inside of the rocks. It says minimum tank gallon size, 180. We got 4,000. How big do they get? Up to 18 inches. Wow. Yeah, that's pretty big. That's pretty big. Are the reefs safe? Why would anyone even Google that? That was a recently searched Google search. Obviously not. No, not safe for reefs. Found in actually the same exact place as the saddleback grouper, which is another big species you all just saw in there, in the Indo-Pacific region. So I can't imagine snorkeling there. Bro, imagine. Everything I have that's cool is in the Indo-Pacific. I just need to make a trip there and scuba dive. We need to go to Japan and scuba dive and see all that. All these IRL in real life. Woo-hoo! Regardless, folks, these things get big. They're aggressive species, and that's why they go into the predatory pond. Let's get this miniotus in. Look at how beautiful this thing is. Look at that. Oh, my goodness. The polka dots. Do you see it? Glowing, bro. Glowing. Oh, my gosh. Look at the colors. Dude. Are you kidding me? Oh, my goodness, bro. Are you kidding me? Look at the orange. Are you kidding? Woo! All right, go to the window. Go to the window. What rock did he go into first? Oh, yeah. He's going straight to the rocks. Into the rock he goes. That's going to be his little hut right there. Absolutely nothing messing with him. Absolutely nothing. No. Dude, he's too big. He's too aggressive. Did he switch up? Yeah. He switched up colors because he's like, ain't nobody messing with me. He's just right under that stinking, stinking lid. Oh, there he goes. There he goes. Oh. He looks awesome. Dude, he looks absolutely epic. I'm putting the net back on so that he does not jump out. If he's a new fish, sometimes they feel the need to. Let's explore what that looks like if we try to skydive. But opposite. No parachute there. You hook concrete. Until I come back in here, I'll find you dried up. Not the first time. Hence why we have a net. Look at the saddlebacks. It's unreal. The other one's in the back over there. Oh, he's swimming with the other grouper. No way. Yeah, look, look, look. I was like, what is next to him? He's coming with the fish. They're meeting each other. Batfish, you're blocking the view, you fat. Look at that saddleback in the back. He's huge. Both of them are back there now. And the tessellata's peeking out. He's aggressive. You ate my broom tail. So sick. A lot of cool fish in here. We got some cool triggers, like the Asasi trigger, the clown. We've got the rectangle trigger and so many more. Even a puffer fish in here. This pond is awesome. Our new spadefish look great, too. They really do. Sick, bro. Things are so sick, bro. I love this. I love buying new fish. You know, I did find out who else has spadefish. No, nobody. It's not like a threat. Who? Bass Pro Shops. Oh, come on. That's not a threat. They do have spadefish. They do. They do have me beat. Their tank is crazy. Maybe we'll get to that Bass Pro Shop level. We've got to get a blueprint of that thing. I know. We should. I can get it. Our grouper's in there somewhere, hiding in the rocks. But reclip that again, Ty. Just show how beautiful that grouper was, out of the water, in my hand. What an amazing species. I'm excited to see it grow. It's going to have a lot of time to grow and a lot of space to grow inside of this predatory pond, just like our bubble bee. He's getting big, too. Look at him. Oh, tessalata. Tessalata vs. grouper. He's flexing on him. He's literally putting his butt in the tessalata's face. What are they doing over there? He is flexing on him. He's flexing. He's threatening him, like, you won't eat me. I promise you, I think the broomtail made that mistake. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, No, he's not. He won't get him. Look, he's going to know just like the saddleback. See? That is how they teach themselves. Look at the saddleback, bro. He knows. Yeah, he swam away. He's like, light work, light work. The eels, that tessalata might need to go soon, but as you can tell, our new grouper stood his ground. He showed him who's boss, and everything is good. That's a good sign, actually. They've already asserted dominance. Another day, another top shelf trip. I absolutely love making videos like this. They're always fun. Let's be honest. We have a great time. If you watch my Snapchat, you'll see me put that big naso tang in. I'll make it a little story on there. Thanks so much for watching up to this point of the video. A big shout out. Look at the jaguar. Look at poor Jackson. Look at the poor Jackson. Oh! Look at the zebra. Oh! Come back up. Come back up real quick. Look at that! I'm just kidding. Thank you so much for watching. Hey, look. Childhood friend of mine. This is Cameron Meek. It's actually crazy to see just how big the blue and yellow cod got. Look at him back there, and his colors are just popping right now. This tank looks absolutely amazing. Whoa! Face to face. Zebra and poor Jackson. They're hungry. I think it's time to feed. We'll do a little feeding today. Jack, look at that. I love this pond so much. The shark pond is amazing. Thanks for being here. Thanks for watching. Subscribe if you're new. Hit that like button. Share with a friend, and I'll see you in the next one.
