We've all experienced a fish keeping disaster. Some might have involved water everywhere, others might have killed off our fish and made us think about getting out of the hobby, those "Oh Nooo!" mistakes that nearly all of us have experienced.
Here are the top 5 fish keeping disasters and mistakes shared with my, based on your comments and your responses to surveys conducted at both the Facebook "Ben O'Cichlid" group page and my channels Youtube Community page. The question was: "What was the biggest mistake you've ever made keeping fish?"
In this video I post some of the responses and comments to the survey and add some of my experience and tips related to each one. The top 5 categories from the fifth to the first. It provides a wealth of "hard knocks" knowledge and takeaways that I hope will prevent you from making these same mistakes. It's an "always be learning" and "we all learn from each other" video for sure! Enjoy and be sure to comment below. Tell us what you've been through and how you recovered.
