Thanks for stopping by, folks. This channel is intended to help rookie/intermediate aquarists, from an intermediate aquarist. As I have a newly revived passion for this hobby, I am here to share my discoveries, success, and mistakes (of which there will be plenty). I hope I can help others avoid my mistakes and possibly benefit from my discoveries. I want to share my experience with you as I get more serious about the hobby, hoping to help a few of you folks along the way.
A little about my hobby and newly revived passion. After 5 years of "treading water" in the hobby with one tank of livebearers and plastic plants, I decided to research, learn, and get more involved. I LOVE IT! My father was a big Cichlid fan and had a whole dedicated fish room with Oscars, Firemouths, Red Devils, etc....As a kid, I had a few betas. But I got hooked back then. Hope this channel helps you in some way, either start in the fishkeeping hobby, or keep going. -dmichaels

Saw him at the local fish store and wanted to give him a try - But things just aren't working out. He's deathly afraid of the clown loaches, refuses to eat flakes or even Repashy food. Can't seem to chew on frozen brine shrimp or bloodworms very well. Despite the gorgeous coloration, I may have to take this one back....

Folks this video came up in my feed, and though it isn’t fish related, it is exceptionally heart warming and I really wanted to share it - I hope this makes you smile. God Bless this man and his journey. We can all accomplish anything we want to, if we just take those small first steps. 😀

Loved this video from @TheFishWhisperer1 An underwater drone, crystal clear water, and bass in their natural habitat. What’s not to like on this one? 🤷♂️. Fascinating footage!
