About Me

“I don’t want my fish to survive, I want them to THRIVE!”

I’ve had a passion for aquariums ever since my first Goldfish in a bowl! Through years of experience, I’ve learned how to care for and provide for my fish, spoiling them along the way! The joy of this hobby comes from knowing my fish are happy and healthy, growing and thriving.

I’ve also learned that I can help others with their tanks and fish…and I’m happy to help! Welcome to the Site, hopefully, you’ll find a topic that can guide you in your fish-keeping journey. Thanks for visiting!
