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.

Question Hi, I now have a ten gallon tank with two neon tetras, two african dwarf frogs, and two black neon tetras. Today I went and bought one guppy and added him, but he is acting strange. He is swimming really fast against the wall of the tank like he is trying to escape, and he looks a little pale, but he was fine and happy when I saw him in the tank at the store. Is this because he is the only guppy? Should I get another one? The rest of the animals in the tank are acting fine and normal by the way, so I don't know what's wrong with this one guppy.
Answer He is nervous. He doesn't have any of his buddies to "watch his back for him", and her was just moved from one tank to another with completely different water and decor. Buy a few more guppies of the same sex, add some more hiding places and some stress coat, and your guppies will be fine.
