Your First Aquarium
Season 1 · Episode 1
lundi 22 juin 2026 • Duration 32:53
In the opening episode of Collecting Fish, host James Hepworth shares his personal journey into fishkeeping — from childhood memories of exploring rock pools on family holidays to building his first aquarium at just five years old.
Blending nostalgia with practical beginner advice, James explores what it really takes to start an aquarium for the first time, including:
- Choosing the right tank
- Understanding filtration and the nitrogen cycle
- Setting up plants and hardscape
- Selecting beginner-friendly fish
- Avoiding common early mistakes.
James discusses the deeper appeal of fishkeeping for neurodivergent people, discussing the calming effects of aquariums, the connection to nature, and the value of slower, more mindful hobbies in an increasingly fast-paced world.
Part beginner’s guide and part personal reflection, this episode is an honest introduction to the rewards, responsibilities, and emotional connection behind the aquarium hobby.
