Should we revisit Bernd for a full tour ??
Yes love from india...💙
Oh yes !! It’s great to see so many years of experience behind those tanks 🌱😊
Yeah !
please do he is very carming
YES
Please tell Bernd another old man in the US has also been keeping fish for 75 years. We are in perfect agreement about the peace and joy of keeping fish without fuss. We keep deep substrates and almost never change the water. A special joy for me to watch and listen to Bernd. - Father Fish
You are an inspiration 🙏
You are a Maestro.. ❤🙏
😮😮😮😮❤❤❤
The master coming to humble us all❤
🩷
The fact that despite being soo experienced he still asked you to confirm if "too many microworms can give deformities" speaks a whole lot about Brend and this beautiful hobby!!!❤
I just left the same comment! What a legend, go Bernd!
he's humble, which is huge when it comes to experience
He’s never done learning “I heard it on RUclips” haha it had me smiling from ear to ear
That's how we become wise old humans.
Never stop learning. Always verify what you know, and collaborate with others.
I'm getting older and still learning from as well as teaching elders. Knowledge can only be passed on.
Thank you Nick for doing the video of my dad. I wish that I could have been home that day to meet you.
Hopefully next time.❤
I’ll be back for sure!!
What a wonderful thing to have of your father.
Sue, I really enjoyed listening to your father, he reminds me so much of my own Dad. He also moved from Berlin to Melbourne in early 60's.. same accent, same calm demeanor. I'll watch this video over and over!❤❤❤
Wow! I had tears in my eyes at the end. Thank you Nick and Bernd for sharing your passion.
I don't even have fish but it is so beautiful to see you guys.
Bernd is doing everything right! There are so many old people who only sit in front of the Tv and have negative thoughts, but Bernd is showing all of us how to be happy, specially in the later days of life.
Just follow your passion and keep enjoying every moment!
And yes Nick we need a full tour.
Minimum 1 hour video 😅😁
Wish everyone here a nice day ☀️
This is by far one of the best video in fish keeping hobby. Bless you, Mr Bernd...🙏❤️
No clickbaits nor product endorsement.
Totally agree with Mr Bernd short and simple advice.
Thank you KFS...for making and sharing this video.
he's so cool and he totally gets me. when people ask me why do i keep fish i answer it the same way cause it's relaxing. i wish i have someone in my family like him that understands it. i just hope he's profiting of his hobby. he can be a supplier of pet stores near him.
I loved when Bernd asked you about the micro worms, he was so serious and ready to take advice. I strive to be like him if I reach 87!
Love this video, when I was very young like around 8years old I had old man as a friend that had an aquarium room setup like this, I don't know how the old guy put up with me sitting in his fish room for hours going from tank to tank, sadly he died of a heart attack before I could show him my appreciation for what he put into my life.
Oh how lovely is Bernd 🙂 such an amazing man. Thanks Nick for sharing his fish rooms with us ❤
Fish are peaceful, lovely and colorful. They can make us happy.
👍🏻😎 I'm 59 and have been in the fish hobby for 36 years and I still love it. Fish keeper for life!
What an incredible journey! Keeping fish for over 75 years is no small feat, and it truly shows the love and dedication one can have for this hobby. It's amazing to see the wisdom he has accumulated over the years and how that translates into the care and design of his fish room. This is an inspiring testament to lifelong learning and passion.
There are so many of us out here hiding,
Love your work bro, happy you met this legend ♥️🐠♥️
I pray this man lives to over 100 and is still strong enough to enjoy his fish. Its the best hobby ever. He's also wearing my favourite shirts. 😂
If I leave this planet with half of the serenity this chap feels with his fish, I will leave content. Very inspirational. Stay busy, sir. You're a gem 💎🐠
I love this video so much 🥰😍 So sweet!!! And yes, keeping fish relaxes your soul😊
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for sharing Bernd with us. What a sweet gentleman...and after 70 years of experience is still humble enough to ask questions and learn from a young lad like you! Please go back to see him again, ❤ we love Bernd!
Protect this precious human at all cost. 😭😭😭 He definitely aged like fine wine.
PS: keep finding all these human gems and show the world the Aussie way of fishkeeping ❤❤
i would love to spend time just following that man around and sponging up all that knowledge!
I caught your videos in the past, just the once. I remember the audio being awful and I’m for some reason, sensitive about things like that, so clicked off and didn’t give any other videos a try. This one looked interesting so I thought I’d give the channel another try & not only has the audio improved massively, the editing too. This ended up being one of my favourite videos in the space.
GG’s
What a fantastic man. This was one of your best videos, to give that man the enjoyment of sharing with everyone would have meant heaps to him. Well done.
He still has a child like innocence. And I mean that in the most respectful sense. Comes across as highly intelligent. At the same time he has nothing to prove and has no hint of being jaded.
Also still humble and respectful enough to ask questions. Beats the shouty know it all types hands down. 😊
I love his laugh @3:43
Thanks for sharing Bernd’s story with us, Nick.
Thanks!
Even though I'm more into reef aquarium keeping these days, these tour videos, especially of old school keepers, have an amazing effect on me. They show the joy and dedication to this beautiful hobby and always make me want to buy some more freshwater fish and start another aquarium. Thank you for these videos, keep it up Nick ;)
Great way to immortalise people's stories.
Omg Bernd reminds me so much of my grandfather he emigrated from Germany in 1953, same accent similar mannerisms. Love your fishroom mate very peaceful and relaxing and if I’m still keeping fish in my 80’s I’d be a happy man like you seem to be.
This was so great! I could see the love of fish in his eyes and his smile. Pretty sure this just made my week! Thank you 😊
Really nice story. If you meet Bernd again, please send my regards and "Alles Gute für Sie und Ihr Hobby aus Deutschland".
I see myself doing the same when i retire! He's blessed to reach 87 and still doing what he loves!
This is so wholesome. Thank You Bernd for letting us see your fish rooms, what a privilege
This was such a well made video
It felt like a short film!
YOU ARE TALENTED
With age comes wisdom. Well done Bernd!
Thanks so much for these videos Nick. There were tears for me as soon as Bernd said "What takes age from the hobby!". Such a simple statement that is so powerful, keeping fish has always been a background hobby for me, but it's the best 5 minutes of my day because every morning I get to sit there with a coffee and just watch. Next time I'm in Brisbane, I'll be stopping by to shake your hand. Don't stop documenting this stories, they will mean so much to so many people, now and in the future.
what a great guy, agree with everything he says too. Wish I could spend a day with him with all those tanks!
Bernd is a beautiful man inside and out.Godbless you.Please do more longer videos.Cheers
I love him! He reminds me of my Oma, who emigrated to the US after the war. She named her son (my dad) Bernd! I keep a tank of guppies and he likes looking at all the babies.
Yes definitely,
What a great man, i bet he would appreciate the company too.
What a beautiful man. He is right. Fish are so relaxing.
Absolutely awesome! The grandfather of fishkeeping! Let's just refer him as the Godfather of fish keeping and at 87
Keeping 110 aquariums... My hat DEFINITELY comes off to this gent!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love listening to older people with their insight. You can gain information. I wish people would value that more than they do.
Wow I hope I'm 87 one day and still enjoying our hobby that was so inspiring !
Thank you so much for making my Dad's day when you came out and filmed this. It really made his day.
Having a passion is the number one thing keeping you young in life I think.
Warm hearting! My dad is younger than him and he is aging very fast to a point hes not doing anything just kinda waiting for his time. Its so nice to see Bernd has so much joy and passion for fishkeeping even at that age. I wonder if he does maintenace all by himself.
I love that this man still asks questions like a beginner. Stay humble my friends. ✌️
That was really something. Inspiring, and not just because I love aquariums and fish, but because he's up and doing what he loves to do at his age. Gotta remember that!
Lovely man ! It's a pleasure to stay with a person like him and talk.
Amazing indeed!
What a wonderful gentleman absolutely lovely!
Thank you very much for uploading this video
And how happy he is ❤
This hobby is such a stress buster 😊
This bloke and "Fatherfish" are legends!!! thanks for sharing mate, one of my favorite Vlogs!!! cheers.
The tone of your videos is perfect, and I really hope you keep following this form and continue to find success in it. Its what hobby videos should be like.
I love Bernd so much! He’s so sweet please give him lots and lots of hugs
I wish I could have Bernd as my neighbor.
Please more videos, Bernd talking about his experiences as immigrant.
This video was so wholesome. Amazing. I want to be like him when I get older.
Brend, you a true gentleman! Thankyou for sharing your fish room with us. I hope one day I can be like you when I retire and be relaxed and have a fishroom. This world is too chaotic! You put things into perspective. Much appreciated. Keep up the good work👍🏼😊😊😊
Wow, that man is amazing. He is able to care for so many tanks and tubs and every fish looks so healthy!!!!!!
Bernd you are a freaking legend.
Greetings from your old home🇩🇪
I really hope that i have this much joy about my fish room when I get his age. What a beautiful soul and Amazing man. May you continue to enjoy your fish bernd!
What a gentle soul inspiring
Love that old can learn from young just as young can learn from old. More of this man and his history please.
You need to keep going, it gives you purpose and will keep you healthy. I’m only 62 but have and continue to build a business that keeps money coming in and my mind active.
What a nice bloke! I love seeing these videos keep them coming, you can't get better inspiration then that, I hope I'm as lucky as him and still able to keep fish at that age 🙂
I love that Bernd didn't loose his accent after more than 50 years living in Australia. Greetings from Germany!
What an amazing gentleman. I hope to be like him one day.
I really like this kind of video please upload more like this it helps me to relax and enjoy it cures my anxiety and depression thanks
its very pleasure to watch grandpa.
❤❤❤ This man is an inspiration. I hope to be half the fish keeper he is someday.
I absolutely loved this from start to finish! Well done Bernd, very impressive and your life story has inspired mine!
Simply beautiful. This is what the hobby should look like.
this guy is living the dream! BEAUTIFUL!
Wow what a story, and a nice humble man. Thanks for sharing
This was so precious ❤️ Thanks so much for sharing😊
I love this! I've had the honour of visiting this fish room, but to know the story of Bernd's life long passion is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing
The amount of knowledge this sir has. One day we're gonna be like him.
This is my favourite video that you have shared thank you so much for giving your time and attention to a wonderful man what an inspiration
Absolutely amazing video nick! Bernd is an absolute gem , its so so nice to someone at his age who has been in the hobby for 75years still enjoying it as if it was new to him. He has such a variety of healthy and happy fish!. Would love for you to do a full tour 😉 thanks for sharing ☺️
Not sure who is doing your editing lately on these but the quality has definitely gone up massively. Well done. Nice old fella. And some people fear growing older but look what it gives you.
Oh my gosh... those have to be some of THE most stunning guppies I've ever seen! What an amazing collection and lovely chap! And yes you should revisit for a full tour!
❤❤❤ there's a kindred connection here!!! After my own heart!!! So beautiful!!! ❤️ is ❤️ 😊
This was great to watch and the advice at the end was spot on. We can make so much work out of fish keeping that isn't necessary. It should be relaxing, not just work for the sake of it. I also wanted to add that I always feel an affinity for people who've settled far from home and restarted their fish keeping hobby in a new country as I've done. Somehow that connection with fish and aquariums keeps you rooted to nature and something meaningful when you're alone and somewhere different to where you grew up.
Isn‘t he just such a sweetheart! Thanks Nick @KeepingFishSimple for visiting Bernd.
Thanks Nick that was beautiful. I'm so glad you interview a diverse range of generations, all with the same joy and outlook.
This by far has been my favorite 😊
This is by far the most inspiring video I have watched. I have a fish tank and really enjoying having them, feeding them everyday. I see myself an introvert so living in a social environment where people keep talking makes me exhausted. Looking at the fish make me relaxing and peaceful. Hopefully I can keep up this hobby until I am old just like Bernd
What a lovely man!
What a man, hope I’m doing the same in my elder years.
Approaching 80, I only have 5 aquariums, but I feel the same way. Thank you so much for this video.
Beautiful and beautiful very beautiful
That was an injection of happiness. Thanks for the vid ❤
The best fishroom (and "fishman") I have ever seen!
What an inspiration, a joy to behold.
that was truly beautiful!!!
You can see the joy in his eyes when he looks at his fish.
Hi nick,
These are the most beautiful videos you make! Do a full tour of his breeding facility god bless this man🙏
Have a great Day
With love from the netherlands
Would loves to take a closer look at all Bernds fish. I enjoyed watching him with his fish and how much he enjoys his hobby. ❤
i wish he has healthy long living happy life
That dude found something he loved and just kept doing it 🥺
What a really nice humble man 🙏🏼
