About FishPotter
How FishPotter publishes practical fish care guides, reviews advice, and updates aquarium content.
FishPotter is a fishkeeping reference site built for people who want clear answers before they buy livestock, change a setup, or add new tank mates. We focus on care decisions that affect real outcomes: tank size, water stability, compatibility, diet, disease prevention, and long-term welfare.
The goal is simple. If a page cannot help you make a better stocking or husbandry decision, it does not belong here. We would rather publish fewer pages that hold up under use than flood the site with thin summaries.
Who Writes and Reviews the Site
FishPotter content is written and reviewed by Maimuna Gulsher, an aquarium keeper and fish care writer focused on practical husbandry, water quality, and humane stocking decisions. You can read her full profile on the author page.
How We Build a Page
- Start with the specific decision a fishkeeper needs to make, not with a keyword outline.
- Check the current search results to understand the intent Google is rewarding.
- Use species requirements, aquarium planning principles, and updateable care data as the baseline.
- Prefer plain, testable guidance over hype, filler, and vague “best practices.”
- Revise pages when we find overlap, outdated advice, or a better way to explain the topic.
What We Prioritize
- Tank recommendations that are realistic for the adult size and behavior of the animal.
- Compatibility guidance that helps readers avoid impulse mixes that fail later.
- Water quality advice that emphasizes stability over chasing perfect numbers.
- Clear notes when a fish is hardy, delicate, aggressive, or commonly mis-sold.
