When I see how beautiful wild types of many species of fish and reptiles are, I believe all of our breeding efforts haven’t done us anything favors.
I mostly agree but I've opened up a bit to different varieties of late. I love many varieties of guppies and things like that. Still not a fan at all of balloon breeds and that type of thing.
I agree in so many cases!
The most fascinating part about those ink prints is that it seems plants were widely used early on. I wonder when they went out of favor?
Because they are certainly making a comeback with modern lighting and I find that most people still fear and equate planted tanks to reef tanks with the level of knowledge and tinkering that needs to be done.
You're so right! I'm glad they've made a come back though!
Plants never went out of fashion in Europe. In the 60’s to late 80’s the “Dutch style planted aquarium” was very much an envied type of aquarium, and concidered as the pride and joy of the home aquariums. The later years the japanese type of aquascaping as seen from Amano and others have giving the aquarium hobby a new way of life. A perfect scape and different type of scrimps are very common among european aquarists.

Yay for corydoras paleatus! I love mine, even more than the danios.
Haha I think they're one of my favorites too....mine wouldn't cooperate for filming last night lol
Going through some of your videos from the sofa, while down with migraines. Thanks!
Sorry to hear about the migraines! I had them for years and years...I know how terrible they can be. I hope you feel better soon and have a great week. Thanks for joining in on new episodes even when down and out, but please don't over do it. Cheers
@@Fishtory Thanks! Yep, they suck, feeling better now after a few hours of sleep in the middle of the day, though.
Those thicklipped gouramis look like they're having a tickle fight with those feelers.
Haha they do that for hours every evening...I don't quite get it lol
Love some of those Victorian tanks.
Yeah someday I hope to find one hehe. So rare though
Well done. I learned stuff!
Haha I'm glad you learned something! I learned a lot this week, doing the research for this one.
What a Fantastic video Alex!! I love the history of our fish and this amazing hobby!!
You are rocking these videos💪🙌💯 Much love!!✨🌿🐟🌿❤️
Thanks Mary! I love to hear from you and love seeing you on screen more these days! You'll have to come on the channel again soon :)
@@Fishtory I would be so honored Alex to be able to stream with one of my bestest of best friends!! Thank you always for all the encouragement, love and everything you share with me and all of us in this incredible hobby!!!🙏✨❣️🌿🐟🌿🥰
Very interesting mate well done
Thanks. I hope your week is top notch! Cheers
Great work Chris, love from England UK
Sorry Alex, trying to type on an old phone ,with even older fingers
Thank you kindly and have a great week
Hey Alexander, I recently came across one of your youTube Vlog post only to enjoy it and watch another and another... You have great and interesting content my man! Keep it up. Brad L.
Right on! Welcome Brad! Thanks for dropping a line and tuning in. Have a great week.
Alex is a well informed intellectual mastermind isn't he! Non stop fact dropper!
I really enjoyed this episode! I would love to see more about how aquatic plants were kept back then, especially Dutch style. I love the challenge of no tech. I enjoy your channel and livestreams and i watch them often on my TV so i cant comment or anything, so i thought id come here and try give you some engagement lol. Love your show!
Thank you very kindly! And welcome (officially!) to the channel. I will definitely be on the lookout for Dutch fish club magazine etc. I have seen clippings of old "water gardens" but never found a full write up or old book on it (pre 1950s).. however I am starting to organize a 19 part series of fish keeping by the decades and a history of the tech & species entering.
Having a bad one today thanks for this one brother 🤙
@Goki Dooke they always do I guess.. thanks ❤️🤙
Sorry to hear that, but glad I could perhaps distract you for half an hour. I hope things start looking up soon, my friend. Take care
Fascinating stuff, thanks for putting the work in 👍
Thank you for tuning in and dropping a line. Also, I appreciate that you understand the research time I put into these hehe. This one took a week of research brushing up. Have a good one, man!
Alex your videos brings new life to the fish hobby thanks for keeping the content fresh and interesting!
Thank you. I'm humbled by your comment. I hope you have a great week Armando!
@@Fishtory thanks :)
Absolutely fantastic. Dont stop!
Hehe as long as a few of us "Fishtory" loving nerds want to listen and share info, I'll be continuing hah. Thanks
Another great video👍👍
Thank you kindly, Alison
This was such an awesome and informative and scholarly presentation. I loved the history with the woodcuts and early pictures as well as your photos. Thank you for bringing history and scholarship into the hobby. I could listen to these type lectures all day!
No problem! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I didn't go through and source/cite everything, but I do weekly segments on new fish news in academia called "Fishtory!", you may dig those and some of the play lists I've created, if you enjoyed this.
I just feel our hobby is lacking good research and as a hobbyist and historian I wanted to combine my life's passions. Have a great week and welcome!
Hey Alex you look cool on this video on. And the fish look cool
Haha thank you Richard! Have a great week buddy
Love your videos!
Thank you so kindly!
good lord, ur dope. thank you sir!
Word. Thank you very much for stopping by and for the kind words
Hi Alex, Thanks for taking the time to research these interesting fish and their history. I look forward to your videos which are always entertaining and educational.
You are most welcome! I love this sort of video, anx it doesn't tend to do that well usually, so I don't usually put a ton of production time into them, but I do my best to do a lot of research and to keep my notes handy Thank you for tuning in and commenting :)
I'm really enjoying these historical videos. I'd like to see someone tackle fish keeping innovation decade by decade in the 20th century. Mr. Williamson, I think you'd do a great job at it. ;)
It's coming haha just wanted to get into the 20th century. The 1920s is really when it becomes a tropical hobby for average folks who set their mind to it.
Always so informative. I loved the wood cut prints. This video reminds me of the one about the french woman hawking snails under her coat for people to buy for their aquariums. I think some of us were blessed with a fish fascination gene that may seem a bit odd to other people. I'm so glad you do what you do.
👍❤👍
Hahaha spot on. It's genetic, I can't help myself!
Thanks!
Whoa, thank YOU so very much!
The part about bettas being aggressive according to lineage makes sense to me. I have two bettas one is the sweetest and never goes after any other fish- and the other is so aggressive he killed a bristlenose pleco- can't put him with anything. They seem like two different species.
Hey Alex! Amazing video and really eye opening video on how the hobby started and evolved over time. I have a 50 gallon frag tank and was wondering how you go about collecting research (videos, descriptions, pictures) for new setups. I am wanting to do a Melanotaenia biotope utilizing lots of the Vallisneria that I already have. I am struggling on finding proper descriptions of the type of setup I need to have. Thank you so much in advance :))
So I use FishBase.de / fishbase.com for specific species info and location. I find where my main desired fish or plants are found, then Google the river or lake and try to find photos (even Google Street view can help sometimes). Then I look for several more species in the same waters and Google the country or water and Google scholar too
This is really interesting ... thank you Alex! Makes me want to set up a new aquarium just to keep the paradise fish (that is not that common to find in my local fish store....)
Thank YOU! YOU kicked off this little series (i wanted to do background on the articles you shared with me...and then do an episode on each one.) So thank you so very much Lorena! I highly recommend the paradise fish! They're very smart (like cichlids) and can get a bit violent if spawning...so zebra danios, cherry barbs, Rosy barbs, gold barbs are probably the best bet for also handling lower temps..lower o2 and being able to hold their own against the paradise fish.
@@Fishtory what an honor :) When I find some space (and budget) I would love to keep them all. Plus, the energy bills are high so fish with no heaater are a plus.
I have a freshwater tiny string like plant with tiny bulb like things. Just trying to see if anyone may see this and possibly help me identify it. Got it mixed in with a plant order and am looking to find out what it is before I mix it one of my aquariums and it takes over or is somehow not ok for my livestock
It's bladderwart a carnivorous little plant that spreads notoriously... not even one mm of the plant can be left, of it'll grow back lol. Its pretty wild stuff. Those bulbs are cups with lids that catch little single cell or simple critters in the water
@@Fishtory thank you very much. Mine looks different than the others I saw initially so assumed it was different. Your videos and knowledge base are always appreciated, keep doing what you do
