- Angelfish have always been very special in my family, going all the way back to my great grandmother, whom used to breed them. Let's take a little look into this fish and some astonishing facts about their history in our hobby.

I personally love this type of storytelling, less edited videos. Looking forward to our interview next Saturday!
Have always loved angels, I had a favorite for 11 years that made it through a lot with me. They have personalities
i like hearing these kinds of stories. please keep adding them in.
I like hearing about the personal side of your fishkeeping journey.
Wasn’t a family member but me, I spent the winter 2017/18 in hospitals/rehab facilities unconscious 104 temp for almost a month then rehab learning to swallow move arms legs,walk you get the picture. Through it all after I woke up my family brought me a Betta and we went through it all together and that’s why I will always have one.
Glad you made it through! Bettas are pretty dang awesome
I love you and I love that you’re talking about Angelfish. I wouldn’t have a tank without them and the honoring of you Great GrandMother makes me smile!! My eyes keep drifting to the Loach in the background and it has my heart!!!
Danger Noodle is quite the character!
Really enjoyable - I kept and bred angelfish 40 years ago in my first found of fish keeping - now I keep them because they are beautiful
Family history always fun.
I have seen Lawrence speak several times at various clubs/conventions. During the pandemic he has been doing on line talks. Great travelogue and collecting presentations.
Indeed, very lucky, not only in fishkeeping, but sometimes we don't remember which was our past, and how hard workers were our ancestors.
That's impressive. You're family's been keeping fish for 3 generations now. My grandparents fished, but I'm the first fish keeper.
Thank you Bentley for family history and the history of Angelfish really enjoyed it.
Thank you Bentley for sharing the story. It brought back memories! I was so excited back in the 60's when I earned enough store credit trading in all my fancy guppy fry for my first angelfish. Lead me down a few breeding paths for decades.
Yes yes yes!!! Loved every minute of this video!!! Thanks!!!😊
So nice to have a fish keeper youtuber present us with a different story - keep up the great work.
I love content like this! I'm fascinated by the history of fishkeeping and the progression of trends in the hobby. Tips and product reviews are fine, but this is a topic that's less common and really illuminating. I especially like hearing your personal anecdotes. More like this, please!
Bentley my mum and dad kept fish in the 50s and 60s and that’s how I got in
to fish keeping now in my mid 60s I’m still keeping fish excellent video my friend stay safe George in England UK👍
I love grandparent stories
That was a very interesting video, I would be fascinated to learn how fish keepers kept fish say 50 - 60 years ago, for example filtration, feeding, heating ect
Wonderful story Bentley, thanks for sharing! Angels truly are beautiful fish!
Your great grandmother sounds like an amazing woman who really loved her pets and pasted that down her family heritage. So awesome. Thank you for sharing her story with us. ❤️☺️
The personal touch is always welcomed! Keep it up! It’s your channel, do what you feel is right. We’re just along for the ride.
Loved this! I often wonder about the evolution of the aquarium hobby. I have multiple tanks because it amazes me how all these beautiful creatures would have - and actually for centuries did - exist without humans ever seeing them until people ventured to really explore below the surface. I try to pass on that wonder to others. I'm a private instrumental music teacher and while my students wait to come in to their lessons they can witnesses these beautiful and fascinating underwater worlds. Then, to think how little it costs me, comparatively, to possess these tanks is just stunning. Thank you!
Missed this surprise livestream. The history of the angelfish, I was ignorant of, but found the information quite interesting. Your Grandmother Grace sounds like an amazing lady. Keep up the great content! 😊
I like these looks into a family passion I need to get the right set up to keep the family fish kept by my grand father and my grand mother they were "wild " fish but the lived outside the back door of the old ranch house I even added to the collection as a child. The fish were shinners and sunfish bullheads and catfish all from the South Platte and other minor local creeks and rivers in Colorado. I would collect our native fish in my "stock trough and pond" but those are our family fish. I like these human touches occasionally, Thank You Bently.
That gold loach(?) is stealing the show! Great content, love the history
Danger Noodle, the dojo loach. He/She is pretty dang awesome
The history aspect of the video is interesting in itself, but the personal connection does make it even more engaging! You're a good story-teller, and this was both informative and entertaining.
Big thumbs-up from me! (Even though I have absolutely no intention of keeping angelfish - beautiful as they are.)
I think your great grandma and I could have been good friends. She sounds like a cool lady! Thanks for the video! 😀
Love the history lesson! Would really appreciate more videos like this!! Keep up with the great content!!!
Thank you Bentley for this video! My aquarium hobby started when I was visiting family in Germany as a child. My cousin had a heavily planted angle fish tank. I was hooked!
What better way to get hooked?
Great information...really made me think of how we take for granted the ease of acquiring our products for our hobbies compared to how it was way back in the day....also look forward to the video on rainbows....
I really liked this format. It got me thinking of why I always habe goldfish. They've been in the family for generations and I'm at the point were I keep a genetic line of my goldfish I guess its a manifestation of that.
Thanks for the tidbits. My grandma raised Rottweilers and although I won’t say they are my favorite dog, they are always in consideration on the future dog list.
nice story, amazing, need more thumbs
This video was brilliant , your content is always awesome but this was something else.
This was such an interesting video! I've never heard about the history of fishkeeping like this! I am a "first-gen" fish keeper and I don't know about all this history you've mentioned about. No one has ever really talked about it. I'm more used to hearing care type videos and vlogs, but this is very new. I would love more of these types of videos :) Thank you!
Great story Bentley. Angels are my favorite... I have them in about half my tanks. Keep these types of videos coming.
Yes, I love rainbow fish
I enjoyed the history of the angelfish. Please do a history of aqaurium fish in general
I love personal stories like this mixed with some broad information. Tis the best type of video IMO, old school. Wish videos were a common thing back in the day, sure would have loved to see your Great gradma's set up and angel fish breeding.
👍💓👍
Regarding availability of angelfish - they were very common in the early 70s when I was a kid. We actually had a breeding pair of marble angels. If I'm remembering correctly, they were about $5 each at about the size of a 50 cent piece.
Love the video. That’s some crazy history. Its hard for me to picture how people even kept fish back then. I love angels and have started trying to breed them just to say I’ve done it. But we always have some angels in our living room tank.
I like it. Do it again.
Great video! Somehow in my ~15 years in this hobby I’ve never kept angelfish (or any cichlid for that matter); I definitely need to change that. I’d certainly like to hear more history-focused content as well 👍
Super, Thank You
Great info.
Cool video--yes, more like this please.
Good Stuff BRO...Hoorah...I Favorite Fish...
i enjoyed learning about your family's history in fish keeping. Also enjoyed learning about the history of angelfish. There are still fish that cost as much as cars, ever see any koi videos? some of them from japan cost boo-coo bucks.
It was nice to learn why you enjoy angel fish and how they tie into your family's history.
Great job Bentley 👍🏻
Great story Bentley! Please tell me more...!
Thanks, I enjoyed it.
Wow it's amazing how much more available they are now compared to when they cost 1000's to buy
Awesome Information Sir
I love your family angelfish & history story. I've always been partial to marble angles. How I used to raise them would not be believed in a million years. This is an amazing hobby with amazing history and amazing variety of ways to procure and breed them.
I like it!! Such great videos man!
Yes...
Yes I loved the whole connection to your Grandma, and the amazing story about how they used to cost as much as a Ford car. I loved this video, as much as I love your educational videos. I been in this hobby for over 30 years off and on and I love all the info that's out there right now. I'm dealing with some cyanobacteria right now and I'm thinking of starting a Chemi Clean treatment, let me know how you feel about that product.
I've used similar treatments in the past and not had too much issue. I had a pretty recent cyanobacteria outbreak and one of my tanks and the way that I treated it was pretty simple. I turned off the lights for a week and then treated erythromycin. This is pretty similar to chemi clean, but it was just the medicine I had on hand which is known to be really effective against cyanobacteria. After a week I turned the lights back on and checked everything was gone. I did a nice big water change, turned my lights back on and went back to normal.
Bentley, i would like to add my thanks for this video. As a history buff i love to know the back story on any of my interests and this was no exception. And as an aside if you think the price of angelfish was high check out the tulip craze in Holland a few hundred years ago.
I've watched a short documentary on it! Wild to think of!
I only have a couple of silver, and they become my favorite fish
Hey bentley, I don't think you will be able to stop doing reviews and tips video haha but it would be great to get other video like this one :)
I sincerely enjoyed the conversational broad overview of the history, sweet video!
I appreciate a little history lesson about angels and rainbows. Alex is super knowledgeable but really in depth! 🐠
If i ever time travel I know what i’m bringing with me
This was great.
Bentley, I made my beer and other fish money in college selling angel fish I raised in the early 70s. Gold, smokey, blacks and marbles were new and rare. They were so easy to breed and sold for enough at nickle size that I made enough to buy the new expensive mbuna from Malawi.
This was really nice. I will always have a goldfish tank because my Grandfather always kept the,.
I like this style of content too 👌 again happy 10k
I'm sure that most of us have at some point bought some species of fish and within a couple of weeks they have died, and that is with all the technology that we now have access to. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to spend the equivalent of several thousand dollars and have them die in a short period of time. These pioneers were doing it without off the shelf filtration systems, they did not have the ability to test their water for a dozen different parameters or the choice of hundreds of different prepared foods aimed specifically at a particular type of fish or access to the internet where we can read read up on every aspect of fish keeping. These first angelfish, wild caught from the Orinoco River needed water with a very low pH, it makes you wonder how they managed it.
You should do a pearlweed tank.
Love the video 👍
I have an angel fish tank, but think to myself why is it not a rainbow tank... I mean it has rainbows in there already but it could have more!
I thought it was good and interesting to tell from the past. You then get a different approach to the fish. Just as it is always good to understand the past very roughly in order to better understand the present. My hobby: The Roman Empire.
I think this was an awesome vid. Very interesting and informative. I loved hearing about your great grandmother and her influence on your mom. Keep em coming 👍
This one is going to be very enjoyable. Really look forward hearing this👍
i loved it Bentley, it is a wonderful family history from your great grandmother and the history of the Angelfish. I'm proud to be an angelfish owner. :D
Yes, this was a good video.
Love this. Can totally tell it hits home with you. I love rams and would love some history on those!
Your story is a bit of a mind bender. How could a farmer find, afford and keep angels 100 years ago? Thanks for sharing Bentley.
Ide love to know about the filter and equipment back in the 1900's
Sounds like a fun idea!
@@BentleyPascoe it was an awesome and interesting video btw, I was never interested in angelfish, I thought everyone has them blah blah. My Mrs bought me a 9 and I fell in love with them, they all paired up except the odd 1 obviously. Now I have over a thousand easy 😂😂😂
@@Bongholio-fd5eq amazing how we can see something we don't find interesting, end up with it and fall in love with them. My loach is like that for me
Comment #100 right here
Now I have 8 defrent type of Angels they are so amazing last Angeles I got from Dan's Fish Avatar Angeles
When those color up fully, send me pictures!
Angelfish = king of the hobby. I know they being bred badly now days but they are special. My dad 😔
In one of your videos you played a game. You won the lottery and you're willing to give everybody at the convention 150 gallon tank with all the equipment they could ever need. Okay I think you know what I'm talking about now. I would have had a question, Could I have an expert with the fish I'm about to pick? If you would have said yes I will pay for an expert to teach you about this fish for 6 months a year. I would have picked peppermint angelfish. Maybe one day before I die. If I can succeed with that fish I will be happy with my fish keeping skills. I know what pushes me away from the fish, the price tag but something else draws me to it as well.
That's a very cool choice
What is the foot long white/yellow fish swimming in the tank behind you?
Danger Noodle, the dojo loach
@@BentleyPascoe Nice I like those I was wondering if it was an albino bichir. I have a thing for weird fish lol. The 48inch fluval light you recommended to me is going on my 90 gallon for bichir / angelfish tank. It may eventually just be a bichir tank have to see how big mine get.
What is that fish, that kind of look like an eel or lung fish, but yellow or white like in color?
Danger Noodle, the dojo loach
@@BentleyPascoe Very beautiful! It captured my eyes.
If you don,t now were you came form,jou cannot now where you going to.
I got two random angel fish from a pet store I couldn't tell the sex but they are breeding. I was unprepared for breeding so the baby's get eaten.
