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 have experience in setting up fish tanks, what to feed certain species, compatible species in my experience, cleaning the tank,
and all around tropical fish care. I also have learned the truth of many of the myths of tropical fish keeping in the past.
Happy fishkeeping!
I love the diversity of colors, habits, and shapes of tropical fish. Keeping fish is fun if you know what your doing. They are such interesting little (or big!) creatures and there is always something new to learn.
I learn something new everyday. But I would like to try my hardest to help people better understand their fish and prevent unnecessary fish cruelty through lack of knowledge. A real dream would be to find a way to spawn the unique dragon fish so at least fewer dragons would have to be wild-caught and kept emaciated and stressed in petstores.

Hi Brittany, Try to read as much as you can about fish care. Get a fish care book from your local library or a petstore...but don't depend on the petstore employees advice, they are wrong far too often
