Kid site Kid site 90% are children asking very childish questions. Most ask about issues that can’t be remedied like buying inadequate fish for their tanks, or not knowing the nitrogen cycle, or just doing no so smart things. Then not being able to buy even the basics to keep fish healthy because they’re children. Parents irresponsibly bought them a setup they because people think fish are ‘easy’ and ‘inexpensive’ - a ‘great first pet for a kid’ and now their kids are briefly interested. Not a lot here for even a somewhat knowledgeable aquarist. Posters eventually grow out of it very quickly because well they’re children. They give out poor advice as you can imagine as well. There are a couple posters who know a bit but don’t post much - if you really want to be knowledgeable in the hobby this isn’t the forum to be.

Website does NOT want new members After solving 20+ recapthas i was still unable to recieve an email confirmation. I have never had a worse experience trying to join a website to ask a simple question I tried multiple emails on my phone and a laptop. Massive amount of recaptchas every step of the way, hidden register button that is nearly impossible to click, refusal to send confirmation email, unable to contact website admin or moderators (contact email; unable to send) This site clearly doesnt want new members, dont waste your time.

Fishlore is amazing! i think Fishlore is amazing, i have gotten to know so many people and so many great information and helpfull folks! yeah the moderators can be a little strict but thats a good thing, this is a website where kids can go on and they have to make sure its kids friendly. People giving nagatives reviews here are just immature, like the comment left by Debbie who would always be rude to others who didnt agree with her, but the minute the moderators call her out then she ran to this website to leave negative reviews? dont believe everything you read.

No help or advise when you have a problem The forum doesn't have members to offer any help when there's a serious issue, some try to help but theyre usually new members, the so called experts may recommend what they suggest but if there's an issue with their method no one will help. Especially if a well known member is the responder. Do not be fooled into thinking a place like that is any help to you or your fish during problems.

There are better places to get information i don't like this website at all and i hate that it always shows up a the top of my searches. Most of the members are know it all's. It's very cliquey, the mods have enormous ego's (hello it's a fish forum relax), the members are so quick to be mean and unwelcoming to new members, they treat people who don't know and make mistakes horribly and most people give horrible horrible advice! better off just following youtubers and get info from reliable resources.
