Expert Profile: Chris Robbins

Expertise: I have 25 years of personal experience as a pet store employee and manager in the family pet store business. The main part of our business was Freshwater Fish. I can answer questions on; Fish care, diseases, parasites and fish identification, feeding your fish, breeding and sexing your fish, setting up your aquarium, cleaning your aquarium, and "what`s this weird stuff in my tank/on my fish" questions. I am not an African Cichlid expert, not a Plant expert and not a Brackish setup expert. No Pond or Saltwater Questions Please.
Experience in the area
I worked in and managed my family's fish and pet and fish store for 26 years and maintained the 35 aquariums. My experience also has included in-home consultation and aquarium maintenance for my clients.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject There is absolutely no substitute for good aquarium maintenance. No matter what kind of water conditioners or filter system you have, you must change 25% of the water at least every two weeks for healthy fish and aquarium.

Thank you very much for the suggestions. When setting up and getting instructions for doing so I was advised to add a small amount of acquarium salt

2008-10-07 cloudy, smelly water: Hi Kelly; If the color of the cloudiness is whitish or off-white, it's just from the break-in period. It will eventually clear up on it's own. New tanks just aren't biologically balanced yet and many...

2008-09-15 ph is too high: Hi Derick; The pH in your tank is actually just fine. As your tank ages it will naturally drop lower anyway. Your tetras would like some driftwood or bogwood though. It will slowly and naturally lower...
