Aquatic Wetline with Aqua Alex

The Tropical Fish Keeping Hobby has been getting more popular over the last few years and for good reasons.Fish tanks have been proven to be a great stress and high blood pressure reducer as the fish help soothe the mind and soul and make you feel calm and enjoy the watery scenery. Many people either enter the aquarium hobby from a family member who had a tank but no longer wanted it, or they want a new pet. Movies like Finding Nemo and Finding Dory have also caused kids to want to rush out and get an aquarium to keep fish. However, not everyone who gets into the aquarium hobby will succeed because this hobby requires a lot of research and time! Most people fail because they add fish too fast or get the wrong fish. For example Dory is a fish that even seasoned aquarists sometimes have a hard time keeping. Fish Keeping 101 is going to be aimed towards beginners and is going to have helpful tips and information to make sure the beginner's succeed. Fish Keeping 101 A Beginner's Guide to: Planning, Purchasing, and Setting Up Your Aquarium PLANNED FOR THE SHOW: ~ What to do before getting your first aquarium ~ Where to buy your aquarium... is it better to buy new or used? ~ Tips for Purchasing an Aquarium ~ Tips on equipment needed for your aquarium ~ Discussion on how to set up your aquarium Enjoy the show!

Us fish keepers personally get to create a piece of the oceans or rivers of the world as we keep some of the most exotic fish and inverts in a fish tank in our houses.

Moray Eels are a very interesting species of saltwater fish. They are a TRUE eel unlike the freshwater spiny eels. Moray Eels are well known for being intimidating and striking fear in people due to the way they move their mouths, but they don't do it to strike fear that is how they breath. When people think of Moray Eels, they think of the giants like the green moray and the giant moray eel.

For the last 3 years Aquatic Wetline has always provided fish keepers with plenty of fun and plenty of wonderful tropical fish keeping information, One thing that I've always enjoyed is chatting about a particular  speciesbies of tropical fish sharing what I know and I even learn about the fish species too. It's a good way for me to enjoy the hobby and give back something postivie to the fish keeping hobby.  In 2015, I started saltwater. One of my first saltwater fish was a diamond goby.

As a young WWE Fan, Raw and Smackdown where each their own brand, they each had their own superstars and own PPVS.

In May of 2016, Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon announced that Raw and Smackdown would split and Smackdown would be going LIVE on Tuesdays and their will be a draft on the first LIVE Smackdown July 19!

It is Mid-July 2016, the midst of Summer and here we are in a Crisis in the United States. Cops are being shot and killed and the bad cops are shooting and killing people....  We have people proclaiming Black Lives matter....  But what is my true stance on this matter?? Tonight, I will truly share my exact thoughts... Whether the reaction is good or bad I am willing to deal with it. But, it is not a harsh thought process so I don't expect a war.
