“I found that the FF substrate and sand set up has created a natural environment that stabilized the tank so now all the fish are smiling and the plants are happy. The enjoyment in this hobby is because I discovered Father Fish and changed my mindset about what is a “Healthy” aquarium. If you want to avoid a chemical soup of an aquarium, consider the Father Fish method. It's proven over 60 years by the leader in natural tanks. Now my PH is steady, all I do is add water weekly and I have not even had to do water changes.“

Hi Father Fish,I am writing to thank you deeply for all the knowledge you selflessly share daily. Your content is valuable, entertaining and accurate. Twelve years ago I had a saltwater fish tank and although I suffered a lot from the great challenge, but I enjoyed the time I had it. Then I went to study and work away from my parent’s home and I removed it. It was stored for twelve years and one day my father was picking up a basement and asked me if I wanted the fish tank or if I would give it away and that day I told myself "hey, I should try again." Searching for information I found you and I love biology and respect nature a lot. I was looking for something that I could enjoy without burdening myself with more work and thank God I found your method. I watched all your videos and the inspiration was such that here I am enjoying my fish tank. This fish tank has meant like a refuge for me. My 6 year old son and my husband love it too. Once again, thank you.This is all the wonderful plants that bought you:The setup process:And this video is after 13 days from setup.

Publicly subscribed to you (10 months)I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your deep substrate method. Before adopting your approach, I faced numerous challenges with my aquarium, and unfortunately, many fish and shrimp didn't survive. However, since implementing your method, my aquarium has significantly improved. The environment is now healthier, and the fauna within it are thriving. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and helping enthusiasts like me create better habitats for our aquatic friends. I'm from Jakarta, Indonesia.

Publicly subscribed to you (1 month) Today, in the Sunday live show, I asked if you could share about how you became an established aquarist. Lo and behold, you made a video about your life. A wonderful life, full of adventure, joy, and tragedy. I am sorry for the loss of your father. As men of God who follow Christ, we both know where he went after. It sounds like he was an amazing man. Amazing accomplishment for the glory of God to bless people from the deaf community and a life of ministry that I am sure brought hope, healing, and love through the Gospel!Your videos not only inspired me to get into the hobby but also have made me pause and give glory to God for His amazing design of life. It's absolutely incredible. It has increased my worship of Christ!Shalom and blessings to you, Father Fish. I am praying for you and your family!!Father FishView the Video here The Life of a Fish Man.
