You should really consider doing a go fund me or something similar like Joey and Jenny did. You are equally as entertaining and, in my opinion, even more informative than almost any other FishTuber. Plus I love the fact that you’re one of the only entertaining retailers that post consistent videos. That helps a lot of people to trust buying from a random person online. I know for me personally, that was the biggest reason why I ordered from you.

Rachel O'leary But people don’t watch you because you are a business. They watch you for your personality and information. I understand your point though. “I should only expand when the income supports the expansion!” It makes perfect business sense. I’ve been watching you for almost a year now and have heard you mention multiple times about having a Fish building in the future. It seems the Fish community is really exploding right now and this is the time to use it to your advantage before the craze is gone. If anything, just view it as a loan from people that like and support you. You can pay people back by maybe free fish or decor based on the amount of support they gave or figure out a way to “return the favor” if it makes you feel uncomfortable taking money from strangers. These other FishTubers are doing it for content since that is their “business”. You could actually breed fish no one else has and use that as your way of justifying it since people would have a go to person for things they can’t purchase locally. That is the very reason why I ordered from you in the first place. Obviously I have no idea who you are outside of these videos and the few email exchanges we had during my couple orders. You actually seem to care about this hobby and you are actually doing something to benefit the community. Yes these other people make people want to get Fish which boosts popularity, blah blah blah. But you are doing that AND selling these fish that you talk about. I mean really. If these people can do it, why can’t you?

I find that at present your channel is much more informative than most other channels. I do agree however that if you focus a fundraiser exclusively as a means to expand your business it may not be as successful as if you decide to use the new building/expansion to partially be used on conservation / education / show tanks. How about a section to exclusively breed CARES fish? I would happily chip in for that. Your channel is definitely my favorite fish related one. Greetings

Hope the males don't put you off as I'm dying to see how you go about it! I've learned so much from you already, I'm truly tickled to think I may be building my sorority alongside you.

Maybe you could review /recommend the best books for aquarists? Or the books which helped you the most/inspired you the most? I've a massive fish library, heaps of mags, books etc. Some go baçk to 1800's!

Rachel O'leary I have never heard of it, thanks for the recommendation, maybe you could do a video on it! Among others my books by Gosse, Boulenger, Sterba, and TFH mags from '55 to '83 are my favourites- just to compare how things have changed :). When I look at today's planted aquascapes and reef tanks ...good Lord! We have come such a long way from when aquariums used to have slate bases/bottoms so they could be heated by spirit lamps and a wooden spoon was essential to revitalise water through a brisk agitation! :)

Rachel O'leary Found it! But $75 + $90 postage to aus is a little steep 😨! Sounds like a great read tho, I'd (we'd) love to hear you read some of your favourite pages either on live stream or an episode ...(hint, hint)

Thanks for the daily videos. I would like to see one about corys; proper care and review of the most common varieties. Maybe you already did this, if you did let us know.

Do you use any "stress-zyme" or "first defense" type products with your fish to help heal or repair fins and slime coat? Also, thank you for your videos, I know that I greatly appreciate that you continue to make these.

No, I generally just do a LOT of water changes. I don't really like chemicals in general, for me, my other pets, or my fish. I feel like feeding a high quality, varied diet and clean water does the best for them.

If your tank is big and planted enough you DO can house male betta's together. More females than males in that tank is better though. I am enjoying such a tank with different kinds of labyrinth fishes.

Very new to your channel (great by the way), and reasonably new to fish keeping. We are in Australia, so sadly can’t order any of your treasures, and I realise this video is a year old, but I thought if you had an opportunity, and hadn’t already, it would be great to hear about what to do if it feels like everything is going wrong. We have great water parameters, peaceful fish community, but it feels like we get over one hurdle and then we get another, and another. We are currently battling a fungal infection in 9 of our livebearers, and it’s so hard to know which advice is the right information. If you already have a video, I would love to hear it.
