The “modern” hobby…I don’t know who that is. “Jeanne Villepreux-Power” she created this hobby if were are being honest. And history favours that belief calling her the “Mother of Aquariophily”
I don’t disagree that the man you named is experienced but he didn’t start this hobby “basically” he graduated in 1988. What an insult to those whom actually started this beforehand.
Also, Egyptians had clay aquariums and ponds where they kept fish. What an utterly educated comment you wrote. That’s why I can’t trust your credibility if we are being honest. Just adds to my point that anyone can say anything online.
