Fish/Expert Profile

Expertise

I will answer all questions as best I can, and if I am unsure of the answer, I will be willing to do research. I can answer questions about tetras, especially neon tetras. I can also answer questions on common diseases and parasites and how to treat them, and tank setups, maintenance, and cleaning. I can provide info. on cichlids (including breeding), goldfish, raising and breeding fancy guppies, and feeding your fish. If I don’t know the answer to your question, I will research and tell you my findings.

Experience in the area

I am 16 years old, but I have owned at least one fish tank since I was in elementary school. I now have a tank dedicated to raising and breeding fancy guppies, with much success. I have another tank with goldfish, which I’ve had the longest, and a larger tank with convict cichlid cichlids, which I have successfully bred, jewel cichlids, and an oscar. I’ve also raised and bred other cichlids as well. I used to have two other tanks, one with angel fish, and the other with tetras, which I recently got rid of. I’ve raised other fish such as catfish and gouramis along the way too. Since I have had fish so long I know much about diseases, and parasites, and how to treat them. At the time i am writing this now i have: 1 Oscar 1 Goby 2 Jewel Cichlids 1 betta 6 goldfish 1 Kuhli loach 1 Rainbow shark 1 pleco 20 guppies 10 adult convict cichlids 15 young convict cichlids

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

I have a big ole Oscar and i have learned that these fish are not as agressive as they are made out to be! He is about 10 inches, and he lives peacefully in the same tank as my pair of convict cichlids, my pair of jewel cichlids, my rainbow shark and pleco. He's probably the least aggressive fish in the tank! And he's adorable! ;)
