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.

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.

So far so good Unlike some fish keeping forums, Fishlore doesn't promote Parroting...where some members repeat remarks they've seen elsewhere but don't have a clue about what they're saying. The level of real expertise on this forum is its main feature

FL Not What It Used To Be I've been a member on FL for several years. While I'm by no means an expert, I certainly know the basics of fish keeping. Over the past year, I've seen many more "incorrect" answers to people's questions. Lots of bad advice being given these days on FL. There were many folks there whom I considered reliable people to bounce questions off. They seem to have all left. I've seen posts that question the mods suddenly disappear, and things really seem to have gone downhill there. I still check in there from time to time, but there are far better sites these days to get fish keeping advice. If you're thinking of joining FL, I'd suggest you look elsewhere...

This forum is really racist!!!!! This forum is really racist, the moderators have their favorite members. If your not “their” kind, don’t open your mouth about anything! It’s a very nasty forum, where people who have little to no experience raising fish tell others what to do. Don’t waste your time, talk to people who actually own fish stores or raise your type of fish can help your more than most people on here. Although some people on here are very nice, not enough are!!!
