In this episode, we discuss pieces of advice that I wish someone would have told me before keeping freshwater aquariums. Keeping fish does not have to be complicated, but if I had learned these lessons earlier, it would have probably saved fish. Many people jump into the hobby without knowing enough information to set themselves up for success. Join us for a conversation about things I wish I knew before keeping fish; learn from our mishaps so you won’t make the same mistakes.

Why are bubbles in my fish tank? Join us in this week's episode, where we answer this question. Generally, bubbles in your Aquarium are harmless and easily removed. However, a few causes of bubbles in your fish tank can be a little concerning. Knowing the difference between bubbles is a vital topic every fishkeeper should know. Is it microbubbles, bubbles caused by protein overload, or simply from your air stone? Join us in the conversation to help you identify the difference and reasons behind bubbles in your freshwater aquariums.
