About Us
Welcome to Fin And Flux — your go-to resource for everything related to aquariums, pet fish, and fish tank care. Whether you’re setting up your first community tank, troubleshooting water chemistry, or exploring aquascaping and species selection, our guides are written to help hobbyists of every level build healthy, thriving aquatic environments.
Our content is thoroughly researched and reviewed by experienced aquarists, aquatic biologists, and veterinary consultants specializing in fish health. We ensure you receive accurate, safe, and practical guidance for keeping fish, maintaining tanks, and designing aquatic habitats.
Meet Our Team
We are a compact, specialized team of aquarists, aquatic ecologists, and aquarium hobbyists who live and breathe fishkeeping. Our contributors include experienced freshwater and marine aquarium keepers, certified aquatic biologists, and fish health consultants who together bring decades of hands-on experience maintaining tanks of all sizes and complexities.
What sets Fin And Flux apart is our emphasis on practical, testable solutions. Each setup guide, troubleshooting walkthrough, and species profile is based on real-world aquarium care — we maintain tanks ourselves, test protocols, and document results so readers can replicate success at home.
- Evidence-based aquarium care and husbandry tips grounded in aquatic science
- Clear, step-by-step advice for everyday tank maintenance that respects your time and budget
- Content updated regularly to reflect new findings in water chemistry, fish health, and aquascaping trends
- Direct access to our team’s combined experience across freshwater, marine, and planted aquaria
Our Mission
Our mission is to make fishkeeping approachable, responsible, and enjoyable for aquarists at every stage. We aim to help keepers create stable, healthy aquatic ecosystems — from beginner community tanks to advanced planted or reef systems — so both pets and hobbyists thrive.
We bridge scientific principles of water chemistry, fish health, and aquatic ecology with hands-on techniques that hobbyists can apply immediately. Instead of one-size-fits-all rules, we explain the “why” behind recommendations so you can tailor solutions to your tank and your fish.
- Deliver actionable step-by-step guidance for tank setup, cycling, maintenance, and troubleshooting
- Translate aquatic science into practical routines you can use weekly or monthly
- Provide adaptable strategies that account for budget, space, and species-specific needs
- Create resources that address common barriers like algae control, disease prevention, and stable water chemistry
