Expertise

I have kept between 4-8 aquariums at a time for over 7 years. I can answer most questions on freshwater tropical fish and goldfish, if I am provided with sufficient data! Pond questions, brackish questions and planted tank questions are not my expertise so I will probably refer you to other websites and/or forums if you ask me these. You can also find me on the Wet Web Media forum - check out the Freshwater Fish section, where I am a moderator.

Experience

I keep a few freshwater tanks: a 55 gallon community tank featuring kribensis and tetras, a 29 gallon subtropical tank with Odessa barbs and corydoras, another 29 gallon tank with two black moors, two 10 gallon tanks with small rasboras and tetras, shrimps and snails. NOTE: All bettas need heated, filtered tanks. Most betta ailments are environmental. A 5 gallon acrylic tank with hood and filter is readily available from pet stores, and with the addition of a heater (coupled with good husbandry) this setup will keep a betta healthy for life.

Education/Credentials
I read Tropical Fish Hobbyist, Practical Fishkeeping and Aquarium Fish International. I've read many aquarium books cover to cover, and encourage you to do the same!
