This podcast is brought to you by the Ornate Boxfish. These fish do not live in boxes but rather are found swimming amongst coral reefs.  They might come in a box if you bought one at a pet store, but more likely, they'd be transported in a bag. They can also be found running illegal underground boxing rings. They are the number one fish offender of tax evasion. Cheers Ornate Boxfish and good luck with your illegal meddling!

In this episode, “Fishy Video Games”, the crew discuss video games where you can play as a fish, interact with fish, simulate an aquarium, or that just have a really fishy theme to them.

So cheers to you, Dolly Varden. May you live forever in our hearts.

In this episode, “Underwater Experts: RVTs in the World of Fish Health”, Nora Toney RVT joins our hosts to talk about what it’s like being a Registered Veterinary Technician that works with fish. We learn what an RVT’s role is in animal health, why they are an essential part of the animal health team, and what a day in the life of a fish RVT looks like. Christine and Nora talk about their experiences as RVTs, how the role can be challenging but also incredibly rewarding, and just plain nerd out about veterinary care for fishes.

The month of October is RVT Month in Canada, and the third week of October is National Veterinary Technician Week in the USA. We wish all credentialed technicians an incredible month, and all the best in your essential, diverse roles as part of the animal health team. Keep up the amazing work.

This podcast is brought to you by the foxface rabbitfish. The foxface rabbitfish possess a name that seems like an oxymoron. After all, foxes eat rabbits. But the foxface rabbitfish refuses to be labeled. It swims around proudly, displaying its venomous spikes as if to say, “what are you going to do about it human? After all, you named me. In reality, I look more like a yellow raccoon. So whose fault is that?” Cheers to you, foxface rabbitfish, and we’re sorry for naming you.

This podcast is brought to you by the goliath grouper. Despite its name, most groupers do not spend any time in groups but are rather solo creatures.  But maybe they are just looking for a friend and haven't found the right one yet. Befriend a grouper today!

In this episode, “Invasive Fish Species”, we discuss ecosystems and the many fish species that end up thriving in new habitats, threatening other native species that live there. Who is usually at fault?  Humans! We break down 6 types of invasive fish that either eat their competition or outcompete them for food. From gigantic carp that jump into your boat, to aquatic vampires that suck the blood of their fishy-lakemates, we get to know some of these scary invaders!  We also cover the response of local governmental bodies and how they prevent further spread of invasives.  If we could summarize one valuable lesson from the episode, it would be: Don’t release pet fish into the wild.

This podcast is brought to you by the seven figure pygmy goby.  With the shortest lifespan of any known vertebrate, these fish are the epitome of “life is too short”.  As a result, these fish can be found bungee jumping, sky diving and doing a whole host of dangerous activities.  Wouldn't you, if your life was only 59 days long?  Here’s to you, seven figure pygmy goby. May you make every second count!

In episode 9, the crew breaks down part 2 of water chemistry!  We discuss conductivity, hardness, alkalinity and why they are important for stabilizing your water and pH.  We cover dissolved gasses, the dangers of extremely low oxygen and extremely high nitrogen in your system and what to do about it.  Next, we talk about phosphates, their source and what happens when levels get high.  Finally, we touch on iron, calcium and magnesium.  To finish the episode we talk about ORP which we can all agree isn't something we actually care about, right?

This podcast is brought to you by stonefish.  Despite its name, if you step on a stonefish you will not get stoned.  In fact quite the opposite.  The venomous  spine of stonefish has been sobering up beachgoers since before there were beaches.  Thank you stonefish!
