    The story with the Anaconda was riveting, I was hanging onto his every word. He is a very brave man to have gotten into the snakes domain just to get some awesome shots for us to see. Michael is an amazing Aquarist, he shows his true passion for fishkeeping. We will be checking out his content for sure.

    My dad used to have a african cichlid tank and we used to just stare into it for hours cause these fish are just so beautiful. But unfortunately about like 15 years ago he passed away when I was a child and the tank unfortunately went away with him. But one day I told myself I would get a tank and remake it in his memory.
