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, I know nothing about koi 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.

Question my beta is a male but its looks like it is pergnet it has a verey large lump on its stomach help
Answer Ariana,
Stop feeding your fish for two days, and buy a remedy-all medication called "Lifegaurd". If the swelling goes down in two days, it was just a SBD problem, and you need to start cutting back on how much you feed your fish. If it stays large, gets larger, or the scales begin to stick out, your fish has dropsy and you'll need to treat with Tetracycline straight away.
From now on, don't overfeed, and clean out the tank once a week - no less.
