      That video with George Farmer and you in your shed - I watched that video about four times and would love to watch it again.

    Tai is probably one of the nicest and humblest guys I've met. He's invited me to come and look at his tanks, which I'm excited to do hopefully soon! Tai showed me a pic of the end product of what you guys did together btw, looks great!

  • @danielwhite3690
    @danielwhite3690 Місяць тому +21

    Tai is a very good friend of mine, I’ve seen his garage or should I call a gallery as every tank is a masterpiece! We used to be colleagues at Maidenhead Aquatics and have seen his hobby evolve into him becoming a freshwater biologist and releasing a book about the habitats he’s been too is just the icing on top. But the main things is he is just a great guy! 😎😎

    • @AaAa-je5eo
      @AaAa-je5eo Місяць тому +4

  • @aidandalton7404

    A man after my own heart. I've been preaching biotopes to people for 35 years. Who remembers fish tanks with plastic treasure chests and sunken ships? Those are the stuff of nightmares. I wish you both were my neighbours. 🙂

    • @friatankar
      @friatankar Місяць тому +1

      I agree, hate those plastic ships, and skulls and treasure chesys and so on.

  • @EricNovello

    It is always important to have someone talking about fishkeeping from the point of view of respect for nature. Good video.

  • @user-ww4ks8hk4i
    @user-ww4ks8hk4i Місяць тому +4

    Tai has some of the best aquariums I've seen on UA-cam. I just really dig the natural jungle look.

  • @jakobraahauge7299
    @jakobraahauge7299 Місяць тому +1

    Biotope - strictly speaking that would be a unique and functioning microbiological zone, so anywhere kinda stable. When you make a bowl of shrimp and plants, you have created a biotope - a unique and interdependent community of selfreproducing niches. And when you uproot them - you kill a unique biotope of unique individuals. That's why I kinda prefer when you preserve rather than when you just chuck something random together.
    Not to take anything away from the profoundly insightful gentleman you are interviewing!
    Thanks a lot for the shout out to the amazing George Farmer - he is as much as a gem, as the pieces he makes! ❤🤗
    Lots of love from Denmark

    I remember the George Farmer video well. It was in the studio not the shed. I have watched every video going back to captioning and slo-mo sand pouring. The only video's I skipped were the snake one's. If George was in one of your shed's and I missed it, I'll be knackered. He did a trim and placed a java fern on the tip of a piece of driftwood, something I have done ever since watching that on every tank I have set up.

  • @stuartreed37
    @stuartreed37 Місяць тому +4

    Great episode thanks for talking with Tai he's one of my favorites, can't wait for the book. It would actually be cool to do a true biotope sometime, maybe for one of your favorite fish.

    Wildwoods crews hill is the best freshwater aquarium 'shop' in the UK. It's basically a super store. Went there all the time when I was a kid and absolutely gutted I live on the other side of the country to it now. Carpeting Lily is easily my 'grail' plant.
