Of course! I love this stuff, so I'm extremely happy that someone else is also getting a kick out of it. Of course I have to breeze over a lot of details, but as the channel ages, I hope to go back over those stories and dig up the details. I hope you have a great week, and warmly welcome you to the channel and community, here! (I saw your Patreon support also, and just wanted to thank you again. It really helps me spend the time of the detail oriented deep dive content.) If you ever want to share a bit of science, biology, history, chemistry or ...well, whatever!, please feel free to. Likewise, if you're wanting to learn more about something, please let me know, and I will work on educating myself and the community on the subject, to the best of my abilities. Cheers, Mate. Alex.
It's really cool how you make things interesting and ability to keep my attention. I dont get bored listening, maybe because you are educated in what you speak. Keep it up, your doing a great job.
@@Fishtory it's like listening to a narration by Robert Redford. I hope I can capture people's attention like that on my TH-cam page. One day maybe. Lol
A Chen no problem, my hobby is to do this research, and if folks like you, watch, like and share, it really inspires me to share what I learn, and also try to absorb it morr than I would , had I just casually studied it alone. I plan on doing a koi, goldfish, cichlid, guppy, roman, Egyptian, chinese and native American history as well
Not a bad video guy. I want those points. This is what I like about your channel really. This is the side of stuff no one is talking about. Knowing history, is the key to moving forward. Documenting this on the interwebs may be what helps propel the hobby forward. Very cool stuff man.
I have like three separate tabs of videos from your channel open, currently learning all I can from you to better learn to keep my fish and shrimp happy and breeding! I'm in the middle of this video :)
Very interesting. Fascinating but makes sense that inverts were a big part of early European aquariums. I would like more of these in the future plus my extra points, please ;)
I will try to put something out educational each week and at some point may take on a helper to help me condense, fact check and some edit a bit more. Currently its all me. So i greatly appreciate your support.
Cathy B thanks I always appreciate your support, likes, subscribing and sharing/commenting so frequently! Part 2 will load by 730pm tonight.. TH-cam mobile made me split it in two
Very interesting. They loved to catalogue and categorise back in those early days . They were so good at drawing and painting back in the early days before photography. Every ne w species found would be illustrated. The great exhibition in london there were probably more fish at the exhibition than in the river thames. With london growing in size during the industrial revolution the river had turned into a stinking open sewer. The great stink. . Prompted the engineering of the modern sewer system. How far we have come in the last couple of hundred years. Civilization rise and fall. Sewer system was nothing new im sure when you look back in time.. fascinated you mention the surmariuns. . Cant spell. Back into the mists of time. Leading us into the modern age. Lost technology through wars and famine and disease can send us strait back to square one. Great video.
The ancient sumarians kept fish huh?? That's crazy... Also, people in India keep fish in bowls still. Very common way to keep them over there. In Japan too
@@Fishtory also bud rb super white plecos. Look em up. Seriously expensive but very cool, and the yellow mega clown plecos. I have a list man.. all these stupid rare, and expensive aquatics I'm trying to collect, breed, and make a shop/store and sell basically the "Tiffany" grade aquatics for a living... What's better than making a killing off what you love right?? That's why your on TH-cam.. as a fellow addict I also need something to focus on or all is lost. Fish seem to do the trick.

Watched for a second time :) I always loved this video, you asked on your other one if you should redo it or just continue on. I think you should continue on, but perhaps do an additional condensed version for those that are not as big on history as people like me +50 POINTS please :)
Thank you haha. I'm glad you don't think my voice is not unbearable, I worry at times with congestion and my gravel laden tone sometimes. Thanks for watching!
Second time watching it and shared on fb. This video is what made me subscribe to your channel. Yes I want those points but I also want to see your channel grow. I really love the nerdy side to this hobby and I want you to stay motivated to make stuff like these so I can keep watching. It’s purely selfish, I admit. The benefit to the hobbyist and the small income from youtube is a great “side effect” tho. Thank you for making this video.
Matthew Moore Cichlids thank you my friend! Part 2 is now also up as we speak. I really appreciate your feedback and time. Be sure to click that bell alert icon for notifications of future videos if you'd like that feature. TH-cam split the 46 minute video, but the 3rd part will be modern post WWII talking about tropical fish, filters and species in modern aquariums ... I'll be working on that this week too.
If still possible, +50 would be awesomeee! Here’s a random but fun question for you! If you could only pick one color variant of ancistrus what would it be? Personally I’m thinking L144, but the super reds and green dragons are pretty awesome too. Haha I know that’s cheating but I’ll narrow my choice down soon! Thanks again for everything!
Africa is probably the continent from wich we have the least variety of fishes known and available in the hobby. Meanwhile Congolese fishes were quite studied, as king Leopold II of Belgium was a nature lover and engaged various zoologists to investigate the country during the colonization era. Amongst them, Georges Albert Boulenger described many fascinating species like the Microctenopoma ansorgii, a uncommon abantoidei, rare but still breed, or the mysterious cave dwelling Congo blind barb. There is also a whole book, unfortunetely not easily accessible to the public writted by the ichtyologist Max Toll " Aquarium fish from belgian congo", same guy who described and discovered many Tanganyikan cichlidaes
Very cool info. Thanks for sharing. I haven't researched those years, or the African ichthyologists in history, compared to the south American, Southeast Asian, or Indian fish from the "early years" of fishkeeping. Ctenapoma is an awesome genus of labyrinth fish too, i wish there were more in the hobby
John Zimm part 2 will up in 10 minutes or so...loading takes forever and made me split video up if it's HD audio. But ill definitely do a 1939- 1978. (Post WWII, baby boom fish keepers and basic/ kitschy fish tanks) then (78 till 1999) then 1999- now , with CO2 Amano and LED lighting.

+50fishy points if you please, those ancient ruin walls look like fish scales. Random fishy related history : Pope's big mitre hat is still fashioned after a fish head, similar idea to ancient priests of Assyrian fish god Ea-Oannes, Nimrod Babylonian Era. Ea ruled the deep to the Babylonians & Ioannes / Dagon the half man half fish was SunGod to the Chaldeans, as the Sun seemed to drop into the deep waters every evening.
I remember there was an ancient roman guy who actually cried more about his pet Eel dying. Then when his wife passed Away. He may have been a More rare type of ancient guy. But seeing that practically Society in it’s core Just repeats itself in cycle’s I’d assume he isn’t the only one. Maybe there were Christians in the Middle ages, Some African tribes dude, or someone in the Amazon thinking: hm. Maybe I’ll keep those fish. Let them breed and have Food. And then got attached to them. That there wouldn’t be any recording’s in those cases is preety clear but I’d put this in the: Possible Category.

What are you asking? Because many early aquariums had filtration in the form of fountains and surface area/ plant biofilttation, which the keepers didn't even understand, was the answer in it's self. But aeration was known about as far back as Rome and ancient China ...knowing it was needed to keep most fish alive.
Babylon is NOT modern days Baghdad!!! its still Babylon till today. And to be more precise, the province is called Babylon and the city is Hillah, where the old Babylon was
No worries, I was born and raised in Baghdad, and am Chaldean not Arab (ancient people of Babylon and Nunavut Valley). I also keep fish, so I was proud when learned that my ancestors where the first people who did it. Thanks for the work you did.
I was really into father fish (I still am a fan) but i find you more direct and informative. Good job alex 👍
I appreciate that, I'm humbled. I'm just trying my best
This would be a really cool college elective. Great video! Off to watch part 2
