I'm Navin and I've been fishkeeping my whole life. I create easy-to-understand explanations of complex topics in the fishkeeping/planted aquaria hobby. I studied aquatic sciences, anthropology, and have a master's degree in communication. I focus on freshwater, naturalistic, heavily-planted, and Walstad/dirted aquariums. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🌱 Join the FishTankTwins Community Discord   / discord   🐟 Follow Navin on Instagram   / navinaigrette   🙏 Become a Channel Member for additional perks!    / @fishtanktwink   🎁 Support me on Patreon!   / fishtanktwink   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Happy Fishkeeping!
