LOVE the PSA on researching. I can’t believe how many people post things in forums and clearly just bought an animal without thinking about it. These videos give me the idea then I jump into the research. Thank you for putting out these great lists!

Yes indeed. On a local aquarium forum there was a post last week with a serious question about why a harlequin shrimp was causing a starfish to puff up.

I bought a calico crab for a new tank I have setup. Not a lot of people coming forward with information in regards to experience, but there's lots of obvious misinformation (for example: that the crab only ate algae when mine has been munching pellets, which match the crab being omnivores).
@ishanp25142 жыл бұрын
Exactly! These videos are just great for ideas or to explore options you did not know about. After that you have to do a tonne of research. For gods sake you are creating an ecosystem. At least do the due diligence needed to be successful.
