Expertise

I can answer a wide variety of questions(provided that the questioner gives detail) If I am unable to ask the question I will research it thoroughly and report my findings. I deal mostly with cichlids and most sorts of tropical fish. I also work with aquatic plants and the landscaping of them. I also run a fish website(www.worldwidefishassociation.com) where I help many people too. I would like everyone to take into account my experience as to others, I do not wish false information to be given to you at the cost of your fish's life.

Experience in the area

I am in charge of an aquatic fish site called WWFA. I have kept a wide variety of fish that includes, Oscars, Jack Dempsey, Betta, African butterfly fish, and many other fishes. I also do research on certain aquatic plants and aquatic structures.
