  • With 14 display tanks, 50 years of experience and passion that you can sense even in the video, Steve is the hobbyist we all strive to be. He was aquarium that I swear are out of nature. His shell dweller tank is the best I have ever seen... Absolutely amazing!!!
    Last month I traveled to St. Lewis Missouri to do a talk with the local fish club. After, we went on a trip to see some excellent fish rooms. I recorded all of the Fish Room Tours. Consider this part one of the fish room journey that day!

    Bravo! This is by far one of the best videos I have seen!! I was blown away watching it! You can hear Steve's passion for his fish in his voice and you can sure see it in the beauty of his fish and tanks!! Absolutely off the charts stunning!!! Someone else commented that you can tell Steve does big when a 72g is considered a nano tank for him!! LOL Mudskippers have been on my wish list for awhile and even more so after seeing this vid! Thanks for the great tour!!!

    @elizabethG633 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have two 10 gal and two 5 gal, one of which is my QT. I had to set up one of my 10's in my bedroom, so I hardly get to really watch them for any length of time, but I do take at least 10 minutes a day, usually mid morning after feeding and then sometime later, just to watch them play.
    The other three tanks are all within close range of where I am most of the time, so I watch the fish I have in them a lot. Anyway, I wish I had a 36 -40 gal tank, that way I could combine most of my fish into one. Some day maybe......
