How Are Animals Real?

We’re a couple making fun, high-quality videos about animals — from our planted aquariums in Chicago to fish stores, rescues, and the wild places animals call home.

On this channel you’ll find:

At-home fishkeeping: breeding corydoras, setting up planted tanks, and sharing our fish room experiments.

Animal adventures: tours of unique pet stores, animal rescues, and shelters.

Stories with personality: Jim & Andi sharing their journey with the creatures we meet.

We celebrate the weird, beautiful “living aliens” all around us — and hope to leave you asking the same thing we do every day: How are animals real?
