Fish in their Natural Habitats

I like my aquariums to replicate the natural homes of fish as much as possible. There is no better way to get an idea of the streams and rivers our tropical fish come from than to visit those streams. But for those of us like myself that don't have the money to do something like that, we can use videos as an alternative. Freshwater enthusiast and Venezuelan native Ivan Mikolji makes those journeys for us and shows us the wonderful natural aquariums that are home to our beautiful aquarium fish.

Jewels of the Rift

I decided to take a little different approach to my post this week. I've found a series of videos that comprise a documentary about the great rift valley lakes of Africa. Many of the cichlids commonly found in the aquarium trade come from these lakes. I'm not a big fan of cichlids, but I still found these videos fascinating. Watch and enjoy!

I do not own any of these videos. They were made by National Geographic.
