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!!

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.

Expert: Brit Brit Date: 5/6/2008 Subject: Comet Goldfish and African Dwarf Frog
Question Hi, I have an African Dwarf Frog living by itself in an 8" x 5.5" x 4.5" tank with still water. I want to add a really small comet goldfish to the tank but I'm not sure if it would be safe. If it isn't safe, then I have a bigger 12" x 7" x 6" tank, but I'd really like to see if the smaller tank works because I like it a lot better. I'm sorry I don't know how many gallons that would be. I also usually clean the tanks thouroughly once every other week, but change about 30% of the water at least once a week.
Thanks!
Answer Hello Ashley,
You would be better off putting a few neon tetras in with your frog. They are more compatible (being that both the frog and the tetras are tropical and prefer heated water). Also, comet goldfish - while they start out small at the store (because they are babies) - actually grow to over a foot long in length and your tank will be much too small.
