Listen "178. Ben’s Surprise Topic: Fish We Need to Figure Out"
Episode Synopsis
In this new episode format, the Water Colors team each comes to the table with their own mystery topic. The topic is randomly selected live, and the discussion is led by one host. This episode is led by Ben, discussing a variety of saltwater fish that don’t seem to be successful in hobbyist reef tanks. This is meant to be a thought experiment – dissecting some possible theories on why some of these fish don’t do well in captivity. Many of these species are readily available in the hobby despite their low success rate in home aquariums.
