WHO AM I?
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

My name is Navin and I've been keeping aquariums for over 15 years. I've went to Marine Oceanographic Academy where I studied aquatic sciences and have a master's degree in communication. I wanted to combine my hobbies of fishkeeping and public speaking by creating educational and informative videos about aquariums. I enjoy teaching and sharing my love for this hobby with others!
