Aquarium Advice Freak
As a kid, I won goldfish from a fair. Enough said?
As an adult, I did a lot of research and haven't lost much. Mostly made typical mistakes like over feeding (have a kid that likes to help) but nipped that in the bud before any casualties. My kid has helped me learn a lot and has learned a lot as well.
My problem is I can keep sensitive fish like rummynose alive in my hard, alkaline well water without any issues....but guppies? Pfft...the only guppy that has survived in my tanks was the only one born in one. At almost a year old, she looks horrible...poor thing. She's happy though! Eats like a pig, loves attention, and even gets in my hands when I'm working on the tank lol.
