When you brought your first fish home, you imagined watching them for hours, swimming around their tank, enjoying the lovely planted aquarium, after all, they do make great centerpieces. You were told by the pet store associate that fish require little to no maintenance…but your dreams were quickly dashed when you realized you killed your first fish. You had no idea that you had to cycle your aquarium before introducing them to their new home. You had a mini freak out that one time your tank was filled with brown diatom algae, that you swear all grew in one night. That's why I'm here to help.

After 15 years and $5,000 worth of equipment, fish, tanks, and one biology degree later, I feel like I am qualified in helping you and your fish. Unlike your local chain pet store, I’m not in it for a quick buck. I am passionate about fishkeeping and enjoy teaching those who wish to join me and others in this wonderful hobby.
