AboutBrit Brit Expertise I can answer your questions about Bettas, most Freshwater Tropical Fish, compatibility between tropical freshwater fish, tips on how to set up a new aquarium, what fish to add, what temperature your tank should be at, etc.
I can answer questions about goldfish, and I know a bit about aquarium plants.
I can't answer questions concerning anything marine, and I know next to nothing about ponds, and even less about Cichlid breeding. So please don't ask.
If I am not sure about something, I will try to research it for you and get back to you very quickly.
I cannot magically cure your fish over the web, unfortunately, so please remember your fish's health depends solely on you.
Also, don't expect a detailed answer if I have not been given a detailed question. I can only do so much!
Details, details, details!!
(It does state what I need on the Ask A Question Page)
Experience I take care of over 3000 fish daily. I worked at Petsmart for a few years, and have had training in many areas, including aquaria and all the basics to keep fish happy and healthy. I met quite a few experts in the hobby and have learned a lot from them, and they have learned a lot from me :)
Also, I have done a lot of research and studying on my own time about not just fish but a lot of different house pets because I like to help people and help their pets. <BR><BR><B>Education/Credentials</B><BR>Petsmart training

Question i was wondering if my kissing fish can hurt my black moor so please answer back at pimpypatrick_15@hotmail.com
so i guess let u go bye.
Answer Kissing fish are actually a kind of Gourami, and that "kissing" action you may see them do to each other sometimes is actually where they are trying to get the algae off of each other's lips.
Gouramis are in fact aggressive, and should not be housed with a goldfish for multiple reasons. For one, they may attack the goldfish, especially if the tank is too small. For another, Gouramis are tropical fish that require about ten degrees warmer water than goldfish.
To be safe, you should always keep like with like fish.
Goldfish with goldfish, Semi-aggressives with semi-aggressives, and so on.
