About Brit 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.

Subject: sailfin pleco
Question
will a small (for now) two-three inch sailfin plecostomus get along with a
raphael catfish or two and a currently small dojo loach? i would like to have
plecos in with my goldfish again, they aren't doing as well without the old
ones that died a while back. i have always had good luck with goldfish and
plecos, even though some say it is a bad combo. if he doesn't get along with
them would he get along with two bolivian ram cichlids and a small sengel
bichir?
Answer
I would definitely recommend the latter choice of the ram and the bichir. While you may have had outstanding luck in the past with goldfish and plecos, both of these fish together need an enormously large tank, since both of these types of fish grow large, and are eating, pooping machines (pardon my french).
Depending on how large your tank is though, you may be able to pull it off and have your fish live long, healthy lives (as long as you don't overfeed, do very frequent water changes and keep the temp at a happy medium for these fish that come from different areas).
