Your #NATURALAQUARIUM cannot #cycle until fish are in it. Put a few small fish in your tank as soon as it is set up. BUT only feed the fish with VERY tiny amounts. #FATHERFISH explains how to #cycle your tank right away.
Our #FFRESEARCHTEAM is hard at work studying the science of the #FATHERFISH method. You may participate in this great endeavor to free the hobbyist from slavery to equipment, supplies, medications, and other expensive paraphernalia.

    • I totally agree. I've returned to the hobby after a thirty year absence. Some of the advice of some of the channels, is ridiculous! 'Don't do this, don't do that.' Trying to suggest items to buy for your aquarium that you don't actually need etc,etc.

  • I have nearly 70 years of fish keeping. Entire rooms filled with fish to breed and sell. Over all those years I have never intentionally cycled any freshwater tank. The main issue with fish is ph. As long as it's in the proper range for the variety and you have good filtration on the tank the fish should be fine. If there appears to be an ammonia issue a good partial water change will often take care of it. If you have other tanks or a friend does and you want to make it easy then put a new sponge filter in the old tank and run it for a week or so and then transfer it to the new tank. Even some gravel from an old tank is enough to seed the new tank. That said most fish if properly cared for will cycle a new tank without issues or work on your part.

  • Finally someone else on the same page when it comes to feeding, this video has been very reassuring even with being in the hobby for over 10 years other fish keepers will try to make to feel bad if you don't follow the norm. Everyone please listen to father fish, he's got it right. Keep up the good work!

  • I really enjoyed today's sermon, Father Fish. Preach it brotha!!! I read "A Fish Out of Water" as a kid, where the fish doctor said to only feed 'just a spot', and when the kid overfed his fish it grew to monstrous proportions, and the problem got way out of hand, and I am afraid our protagonist was in quite over his head, before he learned not to overfeed his pet fish. It is actually very challenging not to overfeed. I like to look at the food floating at the surface from below to give me an idea of how much I put in there, but even still it is hard not to overfeed.

  • I feel you are bringing more than fish to individuals. You are bringing life to the planet, one fish owner at a time. From a biblical standpoint Father Fish is giving the caretaker role back to the human being and taking it away from the commercial ventures who are only out to get one more dollar for one more piece of earth destroyed.
