Expert Profile: Brit Brit

Expertise:  I can answer your questions about Bettas, most Freshwater Tropical Fish, compatibility between tropical freshwater fish, tips on how to set up a new aquarium, what fish to add, what temperature your tank should be at, etc. I can answer questions about goldfish, and I know a bit about aquarium plants. I can't answer questions concerning anything marine, and I know next to nothing about ponds, and even less about Cichlid breeding. So please don't ask. If I am not sure about something, I will try to research it for you and get back to you very quickly. I cannot magically cure your fish over the web, unfortunately, so please remember your fish's health depends solely on you. Also, don't expect a detailed answer if I have not been given a detailed question. I can only do so much! Details, details, details!! (It does state what I need on the Ask A Question Page)

Experience in the area
I take care of over 3000 fish daily. I worked at Petsmart for a few years, and have had training in many areas, including aquaria and all the basics to keep fish happy and healthy. I met quite a few experts in the hobby and have learned a lot from them, and they have learned a lot from me :) Also, I have done a lot of research and studying on my own time about not just fish but a lot of different house pets because I like to help people and help their pets.

Education/Credentials
Petsmart training Adult Diploma

What do you like about this subject?  I love to help people, and put my little bit of knowledge to good use. What's the point in learning about something if i don't use it for a better cause? Saving the world one fish at a time...that's me. ;)
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I won't sell fish to those who don't take proper care of them. Not worth the money? Don't buy the fish! If you are against Bettas or any other fish being mass produced to be sold to ignorant individuals don't BUY them or you're supporting it! Yes, I work at a pet store and I DO have and use the right to tell people NO on a daily basis.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  I know quite a bit about goldfish, and why they may seem so hard to keep alive. (For longer than a few years.) I also know a bit about bettas, including the breeding of them (not that I ever recommend it) and their compatibility with other fish.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  No goldfish in bowls! EVER!
