I own and maintain a large number of tanks with many various tropical fish species. During my fishkeeping past I have learned a lot of the myths and truths about tropical fish care. Currently I keep a wide range of species and have a lot of experience in; Severum cichlids, gouramis, platies, goldfish, bettas, tetras, paradise fish, Angelfish, Corydoras catfish, and many others as well as a couple of years with brackish water. If you have a question on tropical fish keeping I`ll be sure to answer it in the simplest way I can, and if I don`t know the answer, I`ll research the answer for you. Happy fish keeping! | |

I own and maintain several freshwater aquariums from 2 to 180 gallon. I can answer most questions about freshwater aquariums, including setup, cycling, maintenance, compatible tank mates, feeding. Moving? I've moved fish both across town and across the country and can help you get your little aquatic friends to their new home safely. I know and have experience with most freshwater community fish, South American Cichlids and African Cichlids. If I don't know the answer to your question, I'll do research to find the best answer for you. I don't answer questions about Goldfish or keeping Goldfish with Tropical Fish. I also don't answer questions about keeping crustaceans (shrimp, snails, crabs etc) with Tropical Fish, nor questions about saltwater fish or aquariums. I'm not available to answer questions on weekends, this is when I do maintenance on my own tanks. | |

I can answer questions about betta, goldfish, aquatic snails, freshwater crustaceans, freshwater bottom feeders, and tropical fish. I have little knowledge on freshwater frogs/tadpoles. No saltwater fish/cichlids questions please! I do *NOT* know how to make Decor for tanks/aquariums. I can also help you if your fish is stress/sick and setting up an aquarium/fish bowl/tank/etc. |
Hi Melanie I'm sorry to hear that. Don't feel too bad. You tried all you could to keep your little Betta healthy. There may have been an internal infection or internal problem of some sort. It's difficult
Hi Laurie, The minute I saw the photo I could tell the bugs are some kind of dragonfly or damselfly larva. Do a quick Google search for both to confirm this. Since dragonflies and damselflies lay their
Emma, It is very important to add the water conditioner with all fish. The chlorine in the tap water can and usually does kill them. Unless the tank is heavily planted, guppies will eat their own babies
Emma, It is very possible that she is pregnant. The females are larger than the males so her being bigger could just be nature. Females also have a gravid spot, which is black, and back by the anal fin
Katie, Bala's are a schooling fish and need to be in groups of no less than 3 but preferably 6. If they are alone, they will stress and become skittish and can injure themselves. Bala sharks can be in
