My take on Michael ( I’ve never met but want to) is he is trying to help the hobby and make a little money breeding fish! He is brutally honest and a lot of people can’t handle it, if you can pay attention you will learn a lot!
Lol, I would like to make lots of money.
@@MichaelsFishRoom I think we all would!
True
@@MichaelsFishRoom me too sheeettttt!
It's helped with my depression. I lost interested in about everything and for some reason these little guys bring me joy. Thanks for your honest Mike it really is apprenticed. Hope to order some mutt guppies.soon ❤
Glad I can help.
Same here
7 years old,first fish, guppies in a bowl, had babies and got hooked!My first tank, 2 tiger barbs, 2 black widow tetras, 2 serpae tetras, 2 swordtails and a red tail shark in a 20 gallon, now 53 yrs old and those first fish still hold a special place in my heart
Sounds like quite the mix!
I thought about all the bad things I could say about Michael, then I thought about all the good things I could say about Michael; so all I’ll say is this: if Michael makes a video, I watch it.
Wait, there are good things?
Really enjoyed the back story, I am breeding and selling fish as well starting a couple of years ago at 55 years old and its the best thing I've ever done mentally and physically. Keep it up Michael we need people like you up in front.
Thank you!
Definitely come a long way Michael! Thanks for sharing your story 😊
Thanks for watching!
Michael ...I listened and I swear to God It felt like you were talking my life. I kept fish as a kid and left the hobby and recently everything in my life was just going to hell in a hand basket. My marriage was crap, my job was crap and I didnt want to deal with anybody. Then I found yours and Corys videos.... I have since resumed the hobby and everything has gotten better. My home life, my marriage, my job all took a turn for the better because of videos like yours.
Your inspirational man. I am starting my first guppy pond because of you and your videos.....thank you for helping me find my way out of the darkness! And yes ...my guppies will be coming from you!!!
God Bless you and your Family!
Thanks and good luck.
It’s so great to hear your backstory! 😃 My husband bought a 55 gallon tank and a bunch of fish and I had to learn fish care and tank maintenance in a hurry (I knew literally nothing) and your channel has been so helpful!! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and tips!!
Thanks for watching!
At 0:51, Taco says “No, no Dad.” 😂
LOL
Thanks for sharing your story. I know this video is 2 years old. So my unsolocted advice might be very outdated. However, I got gastic sleeve surgery and lost 100lbs. It was the best decision I ever made. It was much easier than I imagined.
Nice! I have lost 70 lbs since that video. I fixed the a lot of the stress in my life and I am in a much better place.
I love this video. I did the same thing. I cleaned my fish to death. Several times. The internet changed EVERYTHING for me! Mostly the cycle thing. And doing water changes. People like YOU are the reason that I'm now a very proud keeper of 4 tanks from a 20 gallon to a 125. I am so grateful!!! Thank you!!!!! All my fish are happy and thriving! If only I could go back and do it all over again and do right by all those poor fish I killed.
Glad to help!
It was great to learn the story of how you got where you are. Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Micheal you definitely are my go to source for info and my favorite channel/FB group you’re real no BS approach is refreshing and I am a SUBARU fan too! I have been keeping fish since I was a kid during this pandemic I went from 3 tanks to 12 because work had me stressed I even have a tank at work in my office...I know I am fortunate to have a good paying secure career but I burned out and my fishies and family helped me get through the stress. Keep up the great work! You’re the best!
Thanks for sharing your story, and thanks for watching.
It was nice getting to know the personal side of you and learning about how michael's fish room came to be! it takes maturity to be able to admit your personal short comings on the internet about anger issues and having problems in your marriage. so respects to you!!! wishing michael's fish room more success and growth!!!!! ty for sharing!!!
Thank you so much!
Good for you Michael you should be proud for what you accomplished in a short time what a great story.
Thank you!
Always interesting to hear folk's story and how one got into their hobbies. I remember my fist fish bowl with goldfish. It's very relaxing watching and caring for the fishees.
Thanks for watching!
Greetings from Germany to fishy Michael. Keep on fishing.
Looking forward to the Germany match today!
Michael your best video yet. I got hooked in the hobby when I was 11 with a 10 gallon aquarium and some guppy’s been keeping fish ever since on and off for the past 45 years.
Wow! Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Very honest! I recognise a lot of my story in what you said. Especially fish keeping as something to focus my energy into. A real inspiration to me and one of the reasons I began my journey on TH-cam! Thanks Michael!
Thanks for watching!
A true joy to get to know the whole story after all this time. Keep it up, you've only just begun.
Thanks!
Keep being you. I didn’t realize until you spoke about your history that I was there later in the beginning which was a while ago. I remember you being on a TH-cam (won’t mention names) about breeding angels. Actually that is what pulled me towards you and what you were doing. This mishap brought us together to form a friendship. Love you Michael and thank you for opening up and being honest so others can hopefully see the awesome/caring/helpful man that I see.
Thanks so much!
I'm so glad you're doing better these days... heart attacks aren't fun! My husband had a couple and while i quit serving grains and refined oils and fats, and almost every processed food on the planet. He'd still buy potato chips. Well, he was a grown man and i didn't tell him what to do. I just did my part. I noticed that quitting all grains, even for me, was a huge improvement. My arthritis and back problems are almost non-existent anymore. Believe me, they were terrible. Blood glucose is great too. But this isn't supposed to be about me (oops sorry lol) ... just wanted you to know i can relate in some ways.
Your fish room is just wonderful and it seems like you're pleased with it, which is what matters. I discovered you in my travels on TH-cam and i watch your videos. I enjoy them and you're real about everything! It's fun watching your channel.
I only have a 30 gal and a 14 gal cube aquarium -- i am not purchasing fish online or any more fish at all.. I keep cory catfish,, praecox and furcata rainbows at the moment. They are peaceful and i enjoyable! I'm sixty four, but if i had to do it wall over again? I'd be doing what YOU are doing right now. Believe it!! I have high regard for you and those who keep nice fish rooms. That's for sure.
All best wishes your way... and did i mention I'm a blabbermouth?
Lol, thank so much for watching and sharing.
Loved hearing your backstory- thanks for sharing! I just got into keeping guppies a month ago as a new focus and it’s amazing how caring for and watching these gorgeous fish calms down my monster anxiety! It’s been a lifesaver. Your videos have really helped me to get started, and so far so good. Pretty soon I’ll have some babies swimming around- the first guppy I bought is pregnant lol. Thanks again and take care!
Thanks for watching and good luck!
Thanks for sharing! Love hearing about how you got to where your at! I started watching just before your heart attack, and glad to see you still here and going strong.
Thank you!
I appreciate your story Mike - thanks for sharing the real you and being proud of your achievements.
Glad you liked it, but I am always the real me in my videos, that is the only way I know how.
Great story on how things changed for you. Love the attitude, grew up in NYC, so it's like listening to family. Learned a lot from your videos over the years. Thanks, and keep them coming.
Grew up in Bergen County and worked in NYC for a few years, so it’s all I know. Thanks for watching.
Bro!! Love your story and can relate so much. Stay strong brother and keep it up. Your message is being heard.
Thanks so much!
Enjoyed it Mike. All the best Buddy..
Thank you!
Mike thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
Michael, great video, glad I caught it. Normally I find myself watching your channel and waiting for your humor and sarcasm to kick in. I love it! Especially the "I'm ok" after your coughs lol! I am slowly trying to get my channel up and broadcasting. I have a humble fish room of 13 tanks only, but I love being in there. I think it's the zen I feel through the work of keeping it and maintaining it. So I understand how it helps you with your anger issues. Thank you for being real, and being one of few inspirations for me in this hobby. I appreciate what you shared in this video and your story. Very cool brother. Please continue to take care of yourself.
Anthony

I’ve always liked you from the first time I randomly saw one of your vids! You are entertaining! I love that you’re doing a storytime!!!
Thanks! Lol
Ty for this video. You should be proud! I enjoy all your work!
Thanks!
Really enjoyed this video and watching fishys behind him. Fish are a super distraction for me. From everything that really bugs me daily. I enjoy every part of the hobby.
I'm grateful for so many things I've learned from these videos and the chat help room. Keep on doing what your doing Michael!
Glad you enjoyed
I really enjoyed your video about yourself. It was a great story about being human and our struggles. No one is perfect so don't let the haters get you down. In my experience, I have always learned more from the mistakes I've made than from the accomplishments I have achieved. Good luck on your life journey!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing your story. Love the channel. Keep the videos coming.

Thankyou for sharing your story and putting your business in positive light. My fish are doing great and I have fry! Im loving the mutt guppies. All different and so fun to watch. I can relate to the high emotions and heart issues. Finding passion in a hobby can be healing. Im happy your hobby turned into a business. Wish you much success.
Thank you!
Thank you for your honesty yet again and a relatable story to boot.
Who with mts can avoid collecting all the cheap 10's 20's etc they can along with 'accessories' deciding to worry about how to price them together later.
I have yet to raid a lumberyard or construction site but give me time (and a vehicle) ♡
笑 I know you can do it!
I remember the bchange to "grab a healthy snack and beverage ". Glad you are still kicken and breeding
Thanks!
Thanks for your story :) You are great guy :) Greetings from Poland!
Thank you!
Well done mate health is everything keep it up.
Thanks!
You should be very proud mate! The haters will hate but that’s because their jealous, keep up the good work mate!
Thank you!
Nice video Michael. Thanks for sharing. As men we re crap at talking about mental health. You’ve done a good thing🤪👍
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I have a fairly similar story about how I got into the hobby haha... so many dead fish before I figured things out... ahhh pre-internet.
Yeah, you actually had to learn stuff, thanks for watching!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
100% should be proud. Awesome story.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your story, I enjoy your videos. God bless
Thanks!
Wow. That was a very honest and I'm glad you stuck with it and are successful. Thanks to you my faith and love for guppies has been restored ❤.
Awesome!
my 2 bristlenose I got from you are doing great, and SO cute! You are a wonderful man and I hope you have every success in your life. Great talk too, you should be talking to crowds!
Thank you!
I'm happy for you
Thanks
Sir very well said 👍💯 that's what exactly happened to me,me and my father used to clean it in every single month and they died within couple of days..😂
But still the best part is we kept our love for fish till date as a hobby..I like the way you try to make us understand about everything...
Thank you so much.
Started fishkeeping randomly during lockdown #1 last year with a tiny tank and no idea what i was in for. Eventually through my trials and tripulations I stumbled across your youtube page. I've gone from strength to strength since then. Picking up some great tips and most importantly a greater overall appreciation for the hobby. :) Thanks Mike and long may this TH-cam page live on!
Thanks for watching! We are always learning!
A nice slice!
Slice?
Hey fish dude, I know this video came out awhile ago but I'm seeing it for the first time. You would be surprised as to how many similar points we share.Had my first tank at 10yrs ....not a healthy home life the peacefulness of the fish helped. I'm looking to put some tanks together for $$ just locally to sell . I'm impressed with your openness that I'm sure hit a note with many like myself. Keep up your good work that's educational & entertaining!!!! I'll be looking for that " Powered by Salad " shirt soon ....lol
Thanks so much for watching.
Michael, thank you this was an awesome video. Very interesting I absolutely love your videos. I think what I like best about them is that you are yourself and a super wealth of knowledge. I envy you and your ability. I had a stroke in 2014 which changed my life in so many ways I can relate to the way you begin your videos with the healthy snack and beverage! I liked that from the first video of yours I watched. Could you sometime maybe elaborate on the disease you mentioned in this video. I’m learning lots from you and your videos. I thank you VERY MUCH, for sharing your story with us keep up the great work you do for our hobby. You and your family are in my prayers thanks, Martin from Central Florida.
Thanks Martin. I am working on another Columnaris video now.
Great stuff Michael. Good to see an honest video no shit just truths. I have been watching your channel for a few years now and have learnt a lot from watching them. I am a bit like you re not keeping spotless tanks but the fish don't die and I sell quality healthy fish. If I was closer I would definitely come and check out your fish room and probably be a friend. Keep up the great work you do. Cheers Tim.
Thanks Tim!
I had no idea you were an an auto technician. That’s where the anger comes from, lol. I own my own repair shop, my father was a mechanic by hobby and a semi pro guppy breeder. I’ve had aquariums my whole life(55 now)and my 21 year old twin sons are into it also(fish keeping NOT automobiles thank god)and we have great time in the hobby. Your content is wonderful and have watched many of your videos. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing! I became a tech because my dad (who was in the biz) told me I couldn't! LOL
Well michael after so long being a sub. Finally making a common you have done well proud of you👍🙏🏻
Thanks!
Inspiring! It's not easy sometimes.
That’s for sure!
I don’t think I’ve told you how proud I am of how you really stepped up and changed your lifestyle after the heart attack, but I am, very!
You’ve really done good for your family and yourself! Congrats!
Hey, and you’re pretty good with fish too! 😆❤️
You left out handsome! Lol
Thanks Barbara!
As long as you are happy with what you are doing while keeping your house happy you are a great person ... Glad to know you watch cory videos also he is a great source of information
He is a great source and great person.
Good on you King 🙏🏽🤴
I’m not the king, lol
I understand stand the anger more than most would. I lived a very violent life. Always loved fish and kids though.... All animals actually. In 2013 my anger had me looking at 15-life. I beat the charge and decided it was time for a life change. Dealt with mental health till just recently. I've always wanted to breed fish and plants. I find it very relaxing.
Glad you are working on yourself.
I truly enjoy your videos and your sense of humor, Michael. Now I know why you tell us to grab a healthy snack and beverage! 😊. Keep it up! It sounds like you are passionate about what you do.
Passionate about money! Lol
@@MichaelsFishRoom lol! Gotta pay the man!
Nice video just got into your videos I find them most helpful and fun to watch I to had a heart attack about 6-7 years ago at the moment all my days run into each other life sucks at the moment but TH-cam and my small tank help me focus when I’m low anyway please keep the videos coming thanks again
Thanks for watching, and things get better.
Well Done! Healthy Snack today is a strawberry oatmeal crisp with fresh strawberries. I made it myself and can't cook all that well. It turned out great.
Well done! Sounds too healthy though.
Well hello Michael!! I to have MTS lol... really enjoyed listening👍👍
Lol, thanks!
Your story is not only interesting yours is inspiring 😊👍
Thank you so much 😀
@@MichaelsFishRoom you are so very welcome ❕️🙂
