    Great video I was listening to one of your older videos you were talking about sobriety
    Well good for you. I am also in sobriety 9 months and if it was for my aquarium I wouldn't have made it this far

    • @Fishtory
      @Fishtory  5 лет назад +3

      Im really glad to hear that! Congratulations on your 9 months...you sincerely are getting past one of the hardest times now. At 1 or 2 years it's usually a fleeting urge for many. I had 1 drink 5 years ago (alcohol wasnt my addiction persay)... but i was repulsed by it...felt sick all night from one beer....and that for me was literally the last real craving i ever had for alcohol.
      Feel free to message me anytime...and if you're really feeling triggered to use... always just go to nature in the closest way you can ...enjoy the simple yet insanely complex beauty. Best wishes John. Hugs

    Thank you for the video. I just got my first two bristlenose plecos. I've never had plecos so I don't know how to tell if they are male or female. They only sold babies where I bought them from so I'm hoping I have a male and a female. I've had the first one for a month. She's already about 2 and a half inches long and no bristles yet so we'll see.

    Have you ever thought about doing a "pimp my tank" thing? Like having a viewer post a video of their tank and reviewing it on your channel. Then they try your suggestions and you do a follow up video with it? Theres a lot that could be done with this formula xD

    • @Fishtory
      @Fishtory  3 года назад +2

      I have done this a bit! But only with friends tanks... I was worried about hurting feelings critiquing tanks of strangers... but if I could actually show up and give them plants...that would be so rad...but the channel makes 1200-2k or so a month as of now, so I've been trying to make it into a "job"...and haven't really given back all the income...where as the first 3 years of the channel, all went to prizes or fish upkeep...and If I get to 3k a month I'll put the excess back into prizes and stuff again.
      But that's the logistics, and the brutal truth of the matter. I love the idea though
