Scapexghost Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 A while ago i was on a binge of old-timey aquarium videos. Its interesting to see what they got right and what they got wrong, what they did different and what we do the same, etc etc. These videos are are hard to find and have few views, and I think a couple people on this forum would get a kick out of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Wow, I'm surprised they even had double tail goldfish back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double tails date back all the way to the 16th/17th centuries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanked Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I like the campy newsreel dialogue in the videos. The basics haven't changed all that much, Just the opinions as to best practice. My favorite segment is the 1955 balanced aquarium. They make it look so fast and simple. Place the aquarium next to a north or east window, add gravel, plants, and water "with a sprinkling can for a very good reason." Then add fish, a lid, and a heater, done! (1937) "Moonfish, zebras of the sea" was the only thing that I thought was completely wrong. I didn't see any, unless that is what all Angelfish were called in '37. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
