Expertise

I can answer question regarding, raising, breeding, feeding and the general upkeep of Betta fish. I can answer general questions about isolating a disease and the treatment needed to help your Betta. I am knowledgeable in fresh water tanks and can answer any question regarding them. I cannot answer questions about salt water tanks.

Experience in the area

I have had fresh water aquariums for most of my life, including the 23 years I served in the Marine Corps. I have been raising Betta's for some time now, and have ventured into breeding a few years back. I currently own 5 males and 4 females and I have about 200 almost 3 week old fry. I make my own filters and I have tried almost all the food on the market for fry and I know what has worked for me and what has not worked.

Education/Credentials

I do not have Betta related educational credentials, but I have educated myself in Betta care. I have read quite a few books and articles from both the internet and ones that I have purchased. I consider myself well educated in Betta care.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

There is always room for learning new things.

2012-05-12 Pleco with Tail Fin Rot:

Linda, Looks like he has fin rot. I would not use Melafix since it really does not do any good. If you can get the Maracyns that would be better. They work very well together. The common pleco can reach

2012-04-28 Betta Fish Disease?:

Hanna, Are there any decorations that could have sharp edges? Also, is his heater secured to the side of the tank? Stringy poop usually means parasites. You can get medication for that at any fish/pet
