2021 was a bad year for me, and I ended up in a physical and mental meltdown. Getting into the tropical fish hobby certainly helped get me "come back".

I started using aquariums for mental stability as a teen and gained a lot of technical skills and eye for attention. Really helps me with other parts of life.

I got into fish keeping after my sons mom passed away last April, rest her beautiful soul 💙💙 I was a complete mess worst I ever felt in life and fish keeping helped me in so many ways I can’t explain the hobby is truly more then just a hobby this shit saved me mentally 💯🙌🏾

IFG not sure if u remember but Im the guy that bought the 120 for my wife. Well gonna try to keep this short. We losted out 2 yr son in a car accident....his name is Eden James. Fish tanks hav helped us the whole way. Keep me busy and love seein them grow..... been 3yrs.

Thank u

IFG, I miss your videos brother. I'm a big fan of your channel. I realize your busy with your daughter home and all. that being said, I miss watching you when I get home from work in the morning. I hope you and your family are safe and well!!! I have 5 aquariums that are stocked with Jack Dempsey, Red Devil, Silver Dollars, Jaguars, oscars, Red Tail Barracuda, Convicts, Severums and Peacock Bass. I have learned a lot from your videos and find you personable and entertaining. lots of love from Oshawa, ON Canada.

Thanks for sharing. Should do a 5 things you should know or don’t know about doing a water change. If you need some water to change I have a few tanks you could do so on 😂🤣

What you said are facts. I own a 60 and a 125 they both actually help my blood blood pressure and my stress levels. I Don have high blood and I’m also diabetic. Also a true story about my aquariums is that I am a recovered alcoholic and keeping my aquariums constantly has my mind focused especially when I’m cleaning them and re-organizing. Fish keeping isn’t just a hobby for me. It’s a life style.

But how do the fish feel? Put in a small tank? On that part we are very selfish... (Pun intended)

@@jasmijnariel cleaning the tank and giving good food makes me feel less shellfish

I have a 100 gallon tank in a recovery home in S.F. I can see the difference it does to these men in there live. How chill they be when they just sit there and look at the tank. I also have a 60 gallon at home that my lady and I love. It brings peace to our home

When I was younger my mother would take me to my grand parents house and my grandfather had a fish tank. I always been on the heavier side even as a child so my grand mother didn't want me to sit on her sofas. I had to sit on a plastic chair. I use to pull the plastic chair up to the fish tank and just watch the fish till we left. That's how I fell in love with fishes. It would make me forget about the fact that I couldn't sit on her sofas

Everything you have is spot on I know have 2 betta tanks and 5 gallon community tank my soon to be husband says that he has noticed my stress level has dropped and my blood pressure has dropped a whole lot...wished I had room for more...

I agree with what you are saying about that aquariums can lower stress and encourage relaxation. But only when you know what you are doing! I have kept tropical fish on and off my entire life. I thought it to be a fun hobby, but at times, not so fun. This was due to my not knowing most of the ins and outs of successful aquarium keeping, i.e. the nitrogen cycle, fish compatibility, proper water changes, etc. But this 4th time around, I seem to be getting much better. I now keep African Cichlids, which seem to be the perfect aquarium fish for me. They are compatible with hard water, which is the type of water my municipality supplies. They even started to breed more than I can keep up with! I can't put my hand inside to tank to move decorations around because these greedy goblins will try to nibble at my fingers! I used to have fish survive for no longer than a year, but now I have fish living up to 4 years +. I guess that fishkeeping is a work in progress!

I got the exact same story as you swear 😂😂😂

Fish help me deflate after I need some peace. It really takes my mind off things. I just love my goldfish. I really enjoy just watching them a lot, caring for them as they are my only pets. I call them my water puppies. I enjoy changing the water, feeding them greens, keeping the filters rinsed. I have been doing this for 37 years, that's how much I love my fish. The third tank is for the elderly, disabled fish as the young ones seem to push them around. I have 3 elderly ones. Love learning about fish so thank you very much-

Ive never seen so many super clean tanks with beautiful fish, absolutely amazing, 💚💚👍👍

All true. Aquarium keeping also seems to help those suffering from PTSD and depression without the potential side effects of meds.

This hobby definitely keeps me calm

I love my tanks. They've helped with my anxiety depression and insomnia.

A common answer I hear from my fellow fish keepers….”keeps me out of the bars”

Everything you said was factual bro

Having aquariums have helped me with PTSD and lowers my blood pressure.

Are you involved with a local fish club in the Houston area? Just curious

But how is the fish their mental and physical health in the small tank? Hundreds of children banging on the window every day?
