I am Droeks Malan. I live in Stellenbosch, South Africa and have been an avid aquarist since childhood. I have even managed the fish section of a pet shop in my younger days. I have kept everything from your normal community fish to big South American cichlids, goldfish, Discus and even some marine fish. These days I am mostly into low-tech planted community aquariums.

I have started this channel to share my experience from almost four decades in the hobby, learn from others, as well as review some products and aquarium stores available to the South African hobbyist.
