Every time I visit a new fish room, I am blown away by the amount of knowledge the hobbyist has. Jack was no exception. He has traveled the world collecting killifish and breeds a large amount out of his basement fish room. He shares a lot of secrets he uses to keep these amazing fish thriving. Jack was an amazing guy to meet and has a very unique look at killifish breeding! What an experience.

@calacosp 5 жыл бұрын

Whilst I would agree that in a poorly setup aquarium you do need to change the water regularly, if the filtration is correct you could go years just topping up what evaporates, I know this because I've had aquariums running this way. All I would say is don't feed your fish lots of food, after all in their natural surroundings they only eat when it rains or what they can scavenge, if this was understood and explained more I think more people would have aquariums.
