Dave - your macrophotography blows me away every time. You elevate the hobby and educate at the same time, something that few channels achieve.

I'm just gonna repeat what everyone are saying in the comments just to confirm it. Videos like this are literally some of the absolute best educative content about aquarium fish on youtube. Keep up the hard work. Thank you Dave!

Hands down the best footage I’ve ever seen on the topic hats off to you sir thank you for this!

[iandyck]

Attention to detail is phenomenal. Very informative answering all the questions I’ve wondered in this topic. Thank you

Dave, I am running out of superlatives here, so at the risk of repeating myself…this was some seriously top level camera work, and very informative as well. Watching your work is completely immersive, and the clarity of your images is artfully stunning. Thank you for taking the time to always get the best quality possible, and for sharing it with us.🖤🇨🇦

Never got to watch such a fresh video, great content. Please keep it coming!

I don't remember the last time I commented on a video. I also watch 99% at 1.5 or 2 times the speed. Your video was so soothing to watch at normal speed. I learned so much and smiled the entire time. Thank you for this excellent production!

It’s always a good day when the Dave posts

Incredible! I learned so much!! Gotta flex the gonopodium!

[heatherete]

Thanks The Dave! As a family of new guppy owners, this is very educational! I've watched the mating dance and seen new fry every so often but never had a chance to see the live birth before!

THANK YOU for showing the development of the gonopodium. I've been convinced my 5 week old blonde guppies were all female but now I'm seeing differences in analfins, some are looking just like your 5 week old males!

[blakenelson]

Once again you deliver one of the best videos I have seen.

[snehapandey]

You are really a legend. Can't praise you enough 🥺🥺

[caewalker]

Love your work. Thankyou so much for all the hours and hours you put in to making such great videos.

Remember kids, it is important to flex your gonopodium once in a while to keep it functional. 😂

[wendygillard]

Hi Dave, your documentaries are fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge & photographic skills.

[atomz]

As one who keeps guppies too, really excited and look forward to your content. Never knew the ventral fins are used to support the gonopodium, even though I have seen this behaviour a lot. Very well done macro videography. My guppies are always too active, its hard to film them at such macro!

[sandornewage]

this is the most beautiful explanations i have ever seen in youtube. thank you.

[thehobbydeskjl]
