About

First Aquarium Guide is a small, independent guide to beginner freshwater fishkeeping. It is written for ordinary readers who want clear, practical answers without wading through forums or sales pages.

What you will find

Every article here is short by design and aims to answer one question well. We cover We cover tank selection, the nitrogen cycle, beginner-friendly fish species, water change routines, and the most common mistakes new fishkeepers make. We add new articles steadily rather than all at once, so the library grows over time.

Who writes this

The site is written and edited by a small team with hands-on experience in beginner freshwater fishkeeping. We are not a brand, a shop, or an affiliate network pretending to be a magazine. We do not sell products, and nothing here is sponsored.

Our approach

We test what we can, read widely, and write only about things we actually understand. Where experts disagree, we say so. Where we are uncertain, we tell you that too. The goal is the first useful answer — enough to act on, with a pointer to deeper reading when you want it.

What this site is not

This is not professional advice tailored to your exact situation. Fish health and water parameters vary with local tap water, temperature, and stocking choices — always test your own tank rather than relying on general figures alone. For anything with real stakes, consult a qualified professional.
