      Tell me why my cats are cheaper to maintain that something as stupid as a pleco? Filters. Food. Water pH... Fish are literally the dumbest "pet" of all time.

      Can't pet them. Can't cuddle them. They just live there in a state of stasis like a prison cell. Hey... Spend a week in your bathroom and you can't flush the toilet.

    I only recently started following your channel. I love documentaries and your channel definitely holds my interest. Frankly i didn't expect you to do a video on aquariums. Yeah it's a public aquarium but still not expected. It sounds crazy but I kinda want to see someone do a video with aquarists. There are some really big names in the fish keeper hobby. Channels like Predatory fins and Stingray biology are big deals in the hobby. They have mostly freshwater but they do have some saltwater stuff including sharks. They're in NYC. Another channel, The King of DIY, is based in Nova Scotia. He has stingrays, Asian arrowana and many other fish. I don't see it happening but it would be interesting/cool to see a video put out on the fish keeping hobby in general and focus on some of the good points the hobby has had on some species. There's definitely been some negatives in the hobby. But lots of positives too.

    What I find fascinating, aside from how in the world they got deep sea creatures, is that, as the tour guide pointed out, it's in the middle of the USA. I'd have for sure thought an aquarium like this would be in California, or maybe New York. Heck, maybe even Dubai. It's a super fancy aquarium, and I don't blame the guide one bit for his enthusiasm. That's definitely a dream job for many.

    Really wish we had something like that here in Canada but I can see why we dont, not cheap or easy to run one of these facilities but something I think the public as a whole should be investing in. Not only does it help in our understanding and education of the wildlife but it more importantly helps raise awareness and conservation efforts.
