FishloreReviews of fishlore.com

I absolutely have had an amazing experience on this site! I started out asking questions, and now I'm answering them. I feel like it's a great way to 'pay forward' the information I've gotten!

Safe place for children and experienced people to ask questions and get answers about aquariums. Foul language is blocked and abuse is not tolerated. Bring your civil, curious self and you will be satisfied with the community.

Very helpful. A few rude people, but over all very nice community.

Love this, look into the member profiles when asking questions and especially getting answers for accurate information

Find people really helpful will recommend to my fish friends 🖒🖒

I’ve been a fishlorian for a few years now and can tell you this is the best fish forum on the net. I want to be fair here and note that before I wrote my review, I read through the reviews posted by fellow members, it’s sad to see 90% of the negative reviews were posted by “banned” members. I mean, how hard it’s it to follow the rules? I do recognize some of the avatars and names from some of these banned persons and can tell you that they will only continue their online shenanigans elsewhere. Good riddance! That just leaves the good aquarium peeps on Fishlore!

This site has been extremely helpful to me...since I am fairly new in the aquarium and fish world, I have quite a few questions and problems. I just got through reading about the brown algae problem, which is something I thought would require drastic action to get rid of. Now I know that the problem will eventually resolve itself. Fishlore really has a lot of knowledgeable people to relieve my anxieties, plus, sometimes the remarks can be quite funny. It's just a great site to visit and I feel very lucky to have run across it!

In general, I’ve found other forums have a much less kind and helpful atmosphere than Fishlore does. There are lots of new hobbyists on the forum but there’s also a great many experienced members on the forum who help without being judgmental and are very kind and knowledgeable. There’s a good balance of both and it’s great place to learn - though of course you should always do additional research. Unkind, bullying, rude or spam posts are swiftly removed by mods, which I appreciate very much and it’s the main reason why I love Fishlore so much. It keeps the general atmosphere positive instead of toxic as I’ve seen on other forums. I’ve never seen anything taken down that didn’t strongly deserve it. Perhaps there are other more advanced forums to be on, but this one is the most friendly to beginnners who don’t want to be judged or hassled by other forum members and the rules are very, very easy to follow.
