I am excited to share this with my 15 year old daughter, she has autism and has loved fish all her life. This will teach her so much.

Absolutely perfect.I appreciate your note. Give my very best wishes to your daughter.
What a magical experience it would be to walk into a LFS and be received by Father Fish... someone who knows what they're talking about, who cares and wants to see you succeed. Someone who even tries to save you money on your setup... not selling you a bunch of fancy things and chemicals that you may not even know how to use! These are the things that frustrate most new fish people.These tips given in these past 2 videos can save a lot of time, effort, money, and heartache for somebody starting out!! Learning specific characteristics as opposed to memorizing every name is really helpful!! Knowing how to set up a tank and knowing the difference between species of fish that could potentially harm another fish or even eat all your plants is important to know! I hope people are pulling out their devices and looking up things specifically before they try something. it's an amazing day and age when we can look up anything specific in a blink of an eye and at our fingertips. Sometimes we are left to make choices without technology and we need to know what and how to do that. Father Fish gives you some savvy tips that help us use our common sense in our fishkeeping journey! Loving videos Father Fish keep them coming!! If anybody is a beginner out there and has specific questions about something in particular please always drop a comment here on Father Fish or join us every morning at 9 am for coffee and the fun way to hang out with other people who enjoy the hobby!! It's fun to learn and everybody is welcome!thanks for all the fish and I hope you're having an amazing day! Much love and respect! 🙏♥️🌿🐟🌱

great video father fish, if we can help the new hobbyist not make some of the mistakes we made in the beginning, then they might just stay around awhile. in todays world there is no patience with the new generation, they need eveything now. years ago i would cycle a tank for minimum 0f 30 days. i wish i new about 4 inch sand beds 40 years ago, they make a big difference, and not over stock. joe h navy seabee

Lucas is my hero. He is a masterful fish keeper. TY for your kindness.
This is a great way to explain this. It really helps me understand compatibility in a way never explained before. It educates on something most people overlook or don't give a second thought.
WOW This was incredible to watch and i am amazed at the colourful collection of fish you have. You have given me the confidence to pick fish that i know will coexist with one another. Great Video

One more question father fish...I have a 20 gallon fish tank but I don't know how many little fishes I can put in it?
I know the brim are a mean fish. I, dropped a gold fish in to the tank and only the brim ate the gold fish up]
I really want emerald cory cat fish in my 40 gallon but im unsure if ill have to feed them since there omnivores i really want my tank to be self sufficient.
