About Me

My name is Sebastian Grant, I keep and have worked with a huge diversity of species, and yes I know how lucky I am! Here in my short video's and writings I will try to convey how I've kept some of the animals I have kept mainly at home but also at work over the years. I will try and be honest about what I've done. On how I’ve kept things both at home at professionally and what’s gone wrong. It has long been a belief of mine that many captive animals survive in spite of what we do, rather than because of it. Here's how and why I've messed up or succeeded. The videos are mainly from my YouTube channel, SebastiansAnimals (catchy huh?). I would like to state that the opinions expressed in this blog are my own and not in any way meant to be taken as the views of anyone else I may mention in these ramblings. Sebastian. March 2012.

2016, a busy happy year.

Heres a few videos off my YouTube channel "SebastiansAnimals" from 2016

In no particular order I've added these clips of animals or events that I've recorded this year.

Gulper cat fish, Asterophysus batrachus First feeding on a large roach, then a few minutes later showing the large extended stomach.



Aba aba enrichment, Gymnarchus niloticus
Feeding this active inquisitive species using a feeding ball to encourage activity and extend feeding time.



Sexyfish, the resturant.
As part of the Aquatic Design team i help maintain these two large tanks in a Mayfair restaurant.





Target feeding the pinecone fish, Monocentris japonica
Using a tube to ensure the food gets down to this slow feeding species, I've been told by a few people that they are hard to keep, but websites say different so I think it may just be they don't get enough food and like seahorses they don't deposit fat due to thier hard body and need to feed often? Just my thoughts
