What She Keeps in Her Fish Room after 50 Years in the Hobby 

Duh

Is that a surprise? She’s literally a veteran fish keeper

She truly is! Loved her so much!

"Do you breed those?" "yes."

tk45440 😆😆 I thought that was funny too, but he is right, those angels are Philippine blue chocolates

This is weird a lot of people say this, but I just find that it brings more stress (aka additional tasks)

@@GlobeXLabels Depends. You can look at it one way; you are taking care of something and watching it grow. It depends on you. Or you can look at it as a chore. Also, if you have 1 or 2 tanks...it's nothing. Especially if they're well balanced. You can have a self sustaining ecosystem and the only thing left to do is top off a tank.

You must be trolling or you’re just that out of touch and completely have no self awareness lmao.

Also depends on what you are running in your tank. If you are doing a full planted tank, then less time doing maintained and more time enjoying the fish as the plants are absorbing all those excess nutrients for you and doing way less water changes. Non planted tank on the other hand is a different story. Also depends on the type of fish you have and sizes of them and size tanks also, its just a lot of variables that go into it, but at the end of the day, you decide how the outcome of the tank is going to be and the amount of work you would be giving yourself

You're right. The Gold Rams are something else.

hahah I love her! Such a sweet heart! It is good to see old school gals being experts in this hobby

Flip Aquatics - LupDiesel yes it is! It’s wonderful that she is doing something SHE loves all this time! Such an inspiration !

James King incredible right!?! I have owned my cichlids for approximately 3 years now and burnouts happens at a point I stopped caring for a while I stopped cleaning or feeding. I got a kick in the butt when I saw them getting weak and started making changes got them a new aquarium, better canister filter, changed gravel to sand to match their natural habitat I also got rocks, new lighting, heater and everything. I've been with them for 3 years and I would cry if I see them die.

You have done very well congratulations.

Yeah I’ve been keeping with breaks here and there for 35yrs. I think that’s totally natural and life is all about cycles of on/off. Most go through this in most aspects of their life-like my job/ hate this boring job, like living here/I need a change, I love spending time with my wife/ Lol better not type this one. Life itself is setup like this so you don’t get burnt out-you have the experience of life and then bam the switch shuts off. Omg I’ve been watching too much Alan Watts. Sometimes a species change such as her leaving angels can revive you.The most impressive dedication I’ve seen in person to a species was visiting old Jack Watleys discus room back in the early 90s. He had been working with them breeding from wild form to what we have today since he traveled down to get his breeding stock in 1963.

Ya as a former park ranger I try to remake a natural habitat. I stick to ponds that don't require filters and clean themselves. I'm a truck driver so Iam only home once a week.

I'm in a burnout RN,,

Amen! She has so much knowledge and learned everything through trial and error then through others in fish clubs. Such a different generation and so much to learn from them.

Are you saying that you're stupid?

did she sell sometimes ? another type of income

"Old g" ??? Lmfao

Older people aren't that crazy 😊 They have many secrets to reveal 😊 People like her are indeed precious.

Yeah this is very true i get panic attacks all the time. I was hit by a car when i was a kid. And i keep fish. Helps with anxiety

Fish and tanks are my escape from stress back when i was in college.

My ptsd came from the police raiding my home after a fire!

Can confirm. The brain doesn't wait for a heroic, war-like danger to develop PTSD. It can happen from some rather domestic things; being assaulted, car accident, natural disasters, being bitten by a dangerous animal, and a bunch of other pretty mundane things.

Ok but let's not compare someone fighting for our country over a car accident.....

We all can totally relate to what you've mentioned in this hobby!

Yep, u described it. I got a sucker fish and left it with my x. I named him The Godfather..I honestly miss him. So, yes, they are family. I'm about to get a Siamese fighter fish and a Black cat. We'll see how that works 😃😳🤷🏾‍♀️

I love her so much haha I smiled so much editing this video :)

Thank you for watching!~ She was amazing! What a great time and you're right, the amount of knowledge is so immense! These are the types of tours I love.

You did just time travelled into the future!!

hahahaha I know, right? She had me cracking up

Rip I don’t get it

Yes I had the same fish sold as smokey blue pearl scales they r lovely

She was awesome! What a great time it was :)

Honestly this happened to me as a kid with my first tank. But it was a short in the air pump that got me.

She is the great grandchild of Poseidon and Zeus. Must have felt nostalgic to her.

That comes with age..

The definition of electrocuted is dying by shock. She was never electrocuted.

@@isaaccuervo147 you are wrong. Because shock on it's own can also mean just getting scared or surprised. Should have put in "electrical" in that sentence. But still come on you know what the guy is talking about...this isn't a courtroom.

JJordan1012 I feel it man. Just hold on to the memories

Clean and crystal clear!

For an older gal, she gets things done!

I also noticed she had a power strip flat on the floor.

Tiffany N should they not be flat on the floor?

Rae chel no they should be up with a drip loop so if water drips it doesn’t go into the outlets and electrocute someone or start a fire. However I also need to get my power strips off the floor 😳😬

Aquatic Tints ohhh ok. I thought that they shouldn’t be flat lol even when they’re not being used for fish tanks lol

Simple lights, simple pumps barely pulls any power. Even with 50 tanks that would be no worse than a couple hair dryers running.

AQUAPROS nice to see you here

haha thank you so much Riley!

hahaha that's funny! I will definitely tell her when I see her next :)

haha keep with the hobby, you will :)

Flip Aquatics - LupDiesel I've had fish of and on for about 33 years . Currently on. have 3 tanks.

For an old lady, she gets it done!~

She is :) Thanks for watching Chris!

You're quite welcome Rob.

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Agree 100%! What a woman. I love meeting people like this

I think anything over 30 yrs exp would qualify as OG. So, your good 👌🏾 I have about 33 yrs experience. I'm an OG too 😎

Buffalo NY?

DOES SHE SELL HER FISH

Does Bonny sell any fish?

mmmm hey sexy boo boo

You have a business. I don't get the e-begging for money. You spread the word of your business with EVERY video you put out. That should be enough reward from your RU-vidrs. I've watched your business grow and I truly like you, but this "support me" nonsense really has to stop. Especially from people that have money generating businesses. RU-vidrs that do nothing but create content is one thing. That's all they do. Please. Enough asking for money from your viewers.

hahaha i love her :D

Hi

Phil R just thinking the same thing!!! What’s the blue cichlid??
