This channel has been dedicated to me spreading my knowledge about keeping fish and planted aquarium tanks. I love it. People ask me all kinds of questions and I answer everything. Let me know what you want to know or what you want to see. I'll hook it up! I also SELL some of the aquarium plants you see on www.DUSTINSFISHTANKS.com Ask me if you see something you want!I
