    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the energy that Seth and OJ bring to each episode. Their passion for football and the Miami Dolphins is palpable, creating an engaging listening experience. They invite a diverse range of guests, from Hall of Fame players to behind-the-scenes personnel, offering a comprehensive look at the franchise's history.

Additionally, the podcast goes beyond just football, delving into life lessons and post-football endeavors of these former players.

    While it's hard to find any major flaws with The Fish Tank, one minor downside could be that some episodes might be more appealing to dedicated Dolphins fans than casual listeners or fans of other teams. However, given the wealth of content available in each episode, there's still something enjoyable for everyone. Additionally, since the focus is primarily on past Dolphins players, fans who are more interested in current happenings within the organization might not find as much relevant content.
